                         SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT


         THIS SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of
April 25, 2002 by and among Pinnacle Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Pinnacle"), and Pinnacle Towers Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PTI" and
together with Pinnacle, the "Companies"), on the one hand, and Fortress
Registered Investment Trust, a Delaware business trust ("Fortress"), and
Greenhill Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its
related partnerships identified on the signature pages hereof (collectively,
"Greenhill"). Fortress and Greenhill and their permitted assignees are
sometimes referred to individually as an "Investor" and collectively as the
"Investors." References to this Agreement herein shall include each of the
Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined
herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Section 10.6.

         WHEREAS, the Companies desire to undertake the Restructuring (as
hereinafter defined) to be followed immediately by the merger (the "Merger") of
Pinnacle with and into a newly formed Delaware corporation to be formed by the
Investors solely for purposes of completing the Merger and with no liabilities
that would survive the Merger ("New Pinnacle"), with (i) New Pinnacle being the
surviving entity and the direct parent corporation of PTI and changing its name
to "Pinnacle Holdings Inc." and (ii) each of the New Common Shares (as
hereinafter defined) issued by Pinnacle being converted into a New Common Share
of New Pinnacle and immediately following the effective time of the Merger no
other share of capital stock of New Pinnacle being issued or issuable other
than the Warrant Shares and the Employee Stock Option Shares (as hereinafter
defined);

         WHEREAS, in connection with the Restructuring, the Investors desire to
make a significant investment in Pinnacle which, upon completion of the Merger,
will become an investment in New Pinnacle;

         WHEREAS, to implement such investment, the Investors desire to
purchase from Pinnacle, and Pinnacle desires to issue and sell to the
Investors, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the
New Common Shares;

         WHEREAS, in connection with the sale and purchase of the New Common
Shares, the Investors will have the benefit of the registration rights provided
for in the Investor Agreement being executed at the Closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Investor
Agreement"); and

         WHEREAS, in order to effect the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, New Pinnacle will adopt a certificate of incorporation and bylaws in
the respective forms attached hereto as Exhibit B and Exhibit C, respectively
(the "New Pinnacle Certificate of Incorporation" and the "New Pinnacle
Bylaws").

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

                                  ARTICLE ONE

                          PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

         Section 1.1       Issuance and Sale. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein, at the Closing Pinnacle shall: (a) issue and sell
to Fortress and Fortress shall purchase from Pinnacle the New Fortress Shares;
and (b) issue and sell to Greenhill and Greenhill shall purchase from Pinnacle
the New Greenhill Shares, determined as set forth in the next sentence. The
number of New Fortress Shares shall be equal to 2/3 of the Required New Share
Amount and the number of New Greenhill Shares shall be equal to 1/3 of the
Required New Share Amount, minus in the case of the New Fortress Shares 2/3 of
the number of New Senior Noteholder Shares (as hereinafter defined) and minus
in the case of the New Greenhill Shares 1/3 of the number of New Senior
Noteholder Shares. The number of New Senior Noteholder Shares shall be equal to
the number of New Common Shares acquired by holders of the Senior Notes
pursuant to the elections described in Section 5.8. The "New Common Shares"
shall mean initially the New Investors Shares and all other shares of
Pinnacle's Common Stock issued pursuant to the Restructuring and, from and
after the Merger, all shares of New Pinnacle's Common Stock issued pursuant to
the Merger.

         Section 1.2       The Purchase Price. Greenhill and Fortress shall
each pay to the Companies, in accordance with the Bankruptcy Plan, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, a purchase price of $10 per New
Investors Share (the "Purchase Price"), in consideration for the New Investors
Shares purchased by such Investor upon the Closing (collectively, the
"Investment").


                                  ARTICLE TWO

                                  THE CLOSING

         Section 2.1       The Closing. The closing of the purchase and sale of
the New Common Shares hereunder and the other transactions contemplated hereby
(the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Holland & Knight LLP, 400
North Ashley Drive, Suite 2300, Tampa, Florida 33602, at a date (the "Closing
Date") and time to be mutually agreed upon by the Companies and the Investors,
which shall be at least three (3) but no more than ten (10) Business Days after
the later of (a) the date following the satisfaction or waiver by each Investor
or the Companies, as appropriate, of all of the conditions set forth in Article
VII (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at
the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of those conditions) and
(b) the resolution of any objections to the calculations of EBITDA (as
hereinafter defined), Cash Funding (as hereinafter defined) and Assumed
Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.3; provided, however, that, in the event the
parties are not able mutually to agree on a Closing Date in accordance with the
immediately preceding clause, the parties agree that the Closing Date shall be
on the tenth Business Day following the later of (x) the satisfaction or waiver
of all of the conditions set forth in Article VII (other than those conditions
that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the
satisfaction or waiver of those


                                       2
<PAGE>


conditions) and (y) the resolution of any objections to the calculations of
EBITDA, Cash Funding and Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 2.3.

         Section 2.2       Deliveries.

                  (a)      At the Closing, Pinnacle shall deliver certificates
to (i) Fortress, representing the New Fortress Shares being purchased by
Fortress and registered in the name of Fortress or its nominee or designee in
such amounts as Fortress shall specify to Pinnacle at least three (3) Business
Days prior to the Closing Date and (ii) Greenhill, representing the New
Greenhill Shares being purchased by Greenhill and registered in the name of
Greenhill or its nominee or designee in such amounts as Greenhill shall specify
to Pinnacle at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
Delivery of such certificates to each Investor shall be made against receipt by
Pinnacle of the portion of the Purchase Price payable by such Investor, which
shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date by
Pinnacle.

                  (b)      Execution and delivery of the Investor Agreement
shall be made at the Closing by Pinnacle and the Investors.

         Section 2.3       Preparation of EBITDA, Cash Funding and Assumed
Liabilities Calculations.

                  (a)      Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the
scheduled Closing Date, the Companies will prepare and deliver to the Investors
a draft schedule in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Investors
showing (i) the Initial Cash Funding Calculation, (ii) the calculation of
earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of the Companies
and their Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis for the period beginning January
1, 2002 and ending on the last day of the Last Applicable Month, divided by the
number of full months occurring during the period beginning January 1, 2002 and
ending on the last day of the Last Applicable Month (the "Initial EBITDA
Calculation"), and (iii) the calculation of the Assumed Liabilities (the
"Initial Assumed Liabilities Calculation"). The "Last Applicable Month" shall
be either: (i) the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing
Date is scheduled to occur if the Closing Date is scheduled to occur on any day
after the 15th day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs or (ii) the
month prior to the month immediately preceding the month in which the Closing
Date is scheduled to occur if the Closing Date is scheduled to occur on or
before the 15th day of the month in which the Closing Date occurs. The Initial
Cash Funding Calculation, the Initial EBITDA Calculation and the Initial
Assumed Liabilities Calculation shall be determined in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied, but in the case of the Initial EBITDA Calculation as
required by Section 2.3 adjusted to (i) exclude the effect of, and without
duplication, (A) impairment losses for assets held for sale or assets held for
use as of the date of this Agreement, (B) expenses incurred or reimbursed by
the Companies in connection with the Restructuring and the Restructuring
Transaction, (C) gains or losses on the disposition of fixed assets, (D)
financing costs, including debt restructuring costs and the write-offs of
previously capitalized financing costs, (E) foreign currency translation costs,
(F) costs associated with obtaining title insurance and mortgaging and
perfecting liens on properties previously not mortgaged to the existing senior
bank group, (G) any reserves or write-offs associated with the Companies'
receivable from Motorola or the Companies' receivable from


                                       3
<PAGE>


Genesis, the Companies' D&O insurance carrier, (H) tax, penalties and interest
associated with any built-in gains of C corporations which the Companies are
ultimately required to pay since January 1, 2002, (I) any increases in the
Companies' insurance premiums occurring after the date of this Agreement not
described in Section 3.20 of the Companies' Disclosure Schedule, (J)
accelerated amortization of prepaid directors' and officers' insurance premiums
resulting from the early termination of the Companies' directors' and officers'
insurance policy, (K) unreimbursed costs or expenses associated with any
potential settlement the Companies entering into in connection with the pending
shareholder lawsuit, (L) unreimbursed costs associated with the settlement of
any lawsuits in an amount not in excess of $2,000,000 in the aggregate, and (M)
expenses incurred by the Companies in connection with any potential transaction
with a potential investor in one or both of the Companies , and (ii) include
the monthly amount, if it would decrease EBITDA on a recurring going-forward
basis, of the reasonably expected impact of any breaches by the Companies of
their representations and warranties in Article III, in each case without
giving effect to any and all materiality exceptions contained therein;
provided, however, that any breach of a representation or warranty that results
in a $1,000 per month effect or less (individually) on EBITDA shall be ignored.

                  (b)      If any of the Investors (or the Committee with
respect to the Initial Cash Funding Calculation) has any objections to the
Initial Cash Funding Calculation, the Initial EBITDA Calculation or the Initial
Assumed Liabilities Calculation, such party will deliver a written statement
describing their objections in reasonable detail to the Companies not less than
five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the Initial Cash Funding
Calculation, the Initial EBITDA Calculation and the Initial Assumed Liabilities
Calculation. The Companies, the Investors and the Committee will use reasonable
efforts to resolve any such objections themselves. If a final resolution of
such objections is not made within five additional Business Days, the
Investors, the Companies and the Committee (as the case may be) will submit the
issue to the Bankruptcy Court for resolution on forty-eight (48) hours' notice.
Any such party may present expert testimony at the hearing, and the resolution
by the Bankruptcy Court will be final and binding as to any adjustments to the
Initial Cash Funding Calculation, the Initial EBITDA Calculation or the Initial
Assumed Liabilities Calculation, as applicable, with no party having the right
to appeal. The Closing shall be delayed until at least three (3) Business Days
but no more than ten (10) Business Days following the Bankruptcy Court's final
determination of the issue, and no party shall incur liability to any other
party for such delay. "EBITDA" shall mean the Initial EBITDA Calculation
provided by the Companies to the Investors pursuant to Section 2.3(a), together
with any revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), and the "Cash
Funding" shall mean the Initial Cash Funding Calculation provided by the
Companies to the Investors pursuant to Section 2.3(a), together with any
revisions thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(b).

                  (c)      The Companies will make the work papers and back-up
materials used in preparing the Initial Cash Funding Calculation, the Initial
EBITDA Calculation and the Initial Assumed Liabilities Calculation, and the
books, records, and the financial staff of the Companies available to the
Investors and their accountants and other representatives, and to the Committee
and their advisors with respect to the Initial Cash Funding Calculation, at
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during (i) the review
by the Investors and the Committee of the Initial Cash Funding Calculation, the
Initial EBITDA Calculation and the Initial Assumed Liabilities Calculation, and
(ii) the resolution by the parties of any objections thereto.

<PAGE>


                  (d)      All documents delivered by the Companies to the
Investors pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall contemporaneously be delivered to
the Committee and its counsel and, in the case of the Initial Cash Funding
Calculation, and any adjustments thereto shall be subject to the reasonable
approval of the Committee.

         Section 2.4       Breaching Investor. Notwithstanding anything else
contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if each of the conditions of each
party's obligations to this Agreement set forth in Article VII have otherwise
been satisfied or waived and if one of the Investors breaches its obligation to
consummate the transactions contemplated herein (the "Breaching Investor"), the
other Investors (the "Non-Breaching Investors") may elect within thirty (30)
Business Days from such date (or, if earlier, may elect by the date six months
from the date hereof) that, but for the Breaching Investor's failure to close,
would have been the Closing Date, to assume or cause one or more other Persons
to assume all of the rights and obligations of the Breaching Investor (an
"Alternative Investor"); provided, that any such Alternative Investor which is
neither an affiliate of, or an investor in, an Investor as of the date of this
Agreement shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Companies and the
Committee. In the event that the Non-Breaching Investors determine not to elect
to so assume or cause another Person to assume the Breaching Investor's rights
and obligations under this Agreement, the Companies and the Committee shall
have an additional thirty (30) Business Days (or, if earlier, until the date
six months from the date hereof) to secure an Alternative Investor; provided,
however, that such Alternative Investor shall be (x) required to enter into all
inter-investor agreements on the same terms that the Breaching Investor would
have been subject to had it completed the Investment and (y) subject to the
Non-Breaching Investors' consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, it being agreed that it shall not be unreasonable for the
Non-Breaching Investors to fail to give their consent if the reputation,
business approach and industry expertise of such Alternative Investor shall not
be comparable to or superior to those of the Breaching Investor. If the
Non-Breaching Investors elect not to assume or cause another Person to assume
the Breaching Investor's rights and obligations under this Agreement and
neither the Companies nor the Committee secures an Alternative Investor, the
Companies and the Non-Breaching Investors shall each have the right to
terminate this Agreement without any liability (including without limitation
Sections 5.3 and 8.2) to the other and without in any way releasing the
Breaching Investor from any liability for its breach or limiting the Companies'
rights with respect to the Breaching Investor.


                                 ARTICLE THREE

                REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANIES

specifically identified representation or warranty), the statements in the body

other funding vehicle, any reports or summaries required under ERISA or the
Code and the most recent determination letter received from the Internal
Revenue Service with respect to each Plan intended to qualify under Section 401

any of the Subsidiaries has incurred any unsatisfied liability under Title IV
of ERISA or Section 302 of ERISA in connection with any Plan and no condition
exists that presents a material risk to the Companies or the Subsidiaries, any
ERISA Affiliate or any Subsidiary of incurring any such liability, other than
liability for premiums due the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (which
premiums have been paid when due).

                  (d)      No Plan (i) is subject to Title IV of ERISA; (ii) is

"multiple employer plan" within the meaning of Section 413(c) of the Code; or

any time have been provided through a voluntary employees' beneficiary
association within the meaning of Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

any liability for unpaid contributions with respect to any Plan, each of them

                  (f)      No Plan provides medical, surgical, hospitalization,
death or similar benefits (whether or not insured) with respect to current or

                  (a)      The Companies have timely filed (or there have been
filed on their behalf) all Tax Returns required to be filed by them under
applicable law, and all such Tax Returns were and are true, complete and
correct in all material respects, except, in each case, for Tax Returns with
respect to which the amount of additional Taxes properly owing would not
exceed, in the aggregate, $20,000. Except to the extent adequately reserved for
in accordance with GAAP and reflected on the most recent balance sheets of the
Companies contained in the SEC Reports, and except for the possible Tax which
may be due with respect to the "built-in gains" in assets acquired directly or
indirectly from any C corporation within the meaning of the Code as identified
on Section 3.16(a) of the Companies' Disclosure Schedule, all Taxes due and
payable by the Companies have been timely paid, except for unpaid taxes which
in the aggregate do not exceed $50,000.

                  (b)      There are no Tax liens upon the assets of the
Companies except liens for Taxes not yet due or Permitted Encumbrances.

                  (c)      The Companies have complied with the provisions of
the Code relating to the withholding of Taxes, as well as similar provisions
under any other laws, and have, within the time and in the manner prescribed by
law, withheld, collected and paid over to the proper governmental authorities
all amounts required.

                  (d)      No audits or other administrative proceedings or
court proceedings are presently pending or, to the Knowledge of the Companies,
asserted with regard to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Companies, except for
any audits or other proceedings (i) that will result in additional Taxes in an
amount not exceeding $20,000 in the aggregate, or (ii) with respect to which
the Companies have established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP for
any resultant Taxes, which reserves are reflected on the most recent balance
sheets of the Companies contained in the SEC Reports.

                  (e)      Except for the two rulings dated July 18, 2000 and
December 22, 1995, respectively, as issued by the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") and previously delivered to the Investors by the Companies, the
Companies have not received a written ruling of a taxing authority relating to
Taxes or entered into a written and legally binding agreement relating to Taxes
with any taxing authority.

                  (f)      The Companies have not requested any extension of
time within which to file any Tax Return, which Tax Return has not since been

                  (g)      The Companies have not agreed to and are not
required to make any adjustment pursuant to Section 481(a) of the Code (or any

                  (h)      Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16(h) of the
Companies' Disclosure Schedule, the Companies do not have any material
liability for Taxes of any Person other than the Subsidiaries (i) under
Treasury Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or
foreign law), (ii) by contract, or (iii) otherwise.

                  (i)      The Companies do not have, nor have they ever had,
any income which is includable in computing the taxable income of a United
States person (as determined under Section 7701 of the Code) under Section 951
of the Code. None of the Subsidiaries are or have ever been a "passive foreign
investment company" within the meaning of Section 1297 of the Code. The
Companies are not and never have been "personal holding companies" within the
meaning of Section 542 of the Code. There are no gain recognition agreements,
within the meaning of Treasury Reg. 1.367(a)-8 or any predecessor provision,
between the Companies, on one hand, and a stockholder of the Companies, on the
other. There is no pending or threatened action, proceeding or investigation by
any taxing authority for assessment or collection of Taxes with respect to the
Companies in any jurisdiction where the Companies have not filed a Tax Return.
All dealings and arrangements between and among the Companies and the
Subsidiaries are at arm's length and consistent with arm's length dealings and
arrangements between or among unrelated, uncontrolled taxpayers.

                  (j)      Each Subsidiary which is a partnership, joint
venture or limited liability company has been treated since its formation, and
continues to be treated for federal income tax purposes, as a partnership or as
a disregarded entity, and not as a corporation or as an association taxable as
a corporation.

                  (k)      For purposes of this Section 3.16, all
representations and warranties with respect to the Companies are deemed to
include and to apply to each of the Subsidiaries and predecessors (and the
Subsidiaries of such predecessors).

                  (l)      Except for the possible impact of the failure to
timely elect that certain foreign Subsidiaries be treated as a partnership or a
disregarded entity as identified on Section 3.16(l) of the Companies'
Disclosure Schedule, for each of its taxable years, Pinnacle (and its
predecessor, as applicable) was organized, operated and duly qualified as a
REIT under Section 856 of the Code and the execution or delivery by the
Companies of this Agreement and the consummation by the Companies of the
transactions contemplated hereby, will not adversely affect the qualification
of Pinnacle as a REIT for each taxable year ending prior to or which includes
the Closing Date, except for the possible failure to satisfy the REIT
qualification requirements of either Section 856(a)(5) or Section 856(a)(6) of
the Code as a result of events occurring concurrent with or subsequent to the
Closing.

                  (m)      As used in this Agreement, (i) the term "Taxes"

disability, employment, payroll, license, estimated, stamp, custom duties,
severance or withholding taxes or charges imposed by any Governmental Entity,

any such taxes, and (ii) the term "Tax Return"


                                      17
<PAGE>


means a report, return or other information required to be supplied to a
governmental entity with respect to Taxes including, where permitted or
required, combined or consolidated returns.

                  (n)      Each entity identified as a "Taxable REIT
Subsidiary" of Pinnacle (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code) in
Section 3.1(b)(i) of the Companies' Disclosure Schedule, at all times since
January 1, 2001, has satisfied every requirement imposed by Section 856(l) of
the Code. None of such entities (i) operates or manages, has operated or
managed, or will operate or manage prior to the Closing Date a "lodging
facility" or "health care facility" within the meaning of Section 856(1)(4)(A)
and 856(1)(4)(B) of the Code, respectively, or (ii) licenses, has licensed, or
will license prior to the Closing Date, rights to any brand name under which
any such lodging facility or health care facility is operated.

                  (o)      The Companies have not, with regard to any assets or
property held or acquired by any of them, filed a consent to the application of
Section 341(f)(2) of the Code, or agreed to have Section 341(f)(2) of the Code
apply to any disposition of a "subsection (f) asset" (as such term is defined
in Section 341(f)(4) of the Code) owned by the Companies.

                  (p)      No material deficiencies for any Taxes have been
proposed, asserted or assessed against the Companies which have not been paid,
except for any deficiencies (i) that do not exceed $30,000 in the aggregate, or
(ii) with respect to which the Companies have established adequate reserves in
accordance with GAAP, which reserves are reflected on the most recent balance
sheets of the Companies contained in the SEC Reports, and there is no
outstanding waiver of the statute of limitations with respect to any Taxes or
Tax Returns of the Companies.

                  (q)      At the Closing Date, other than a corporation that
is a "Qualified REIT Subsidiary" of Pinnacle within the meaning of Section
856(i)(2) of the Code or a "Taxable REIT Subsidiary" of Pinnacle within the
meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, Pinnacle will not own (as determined for
purposes of Section 856 of the Code and the Regulations promulgated thereunder,
including Treasury Reg. Section 1.856-3(g) and with the same meaning as when
used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), directly or indirectly
(i) securities (other than "real estate assets" within the meaning of Section
856(c)(5)(B) of the Code) possessing more than 10% of the total voting power of
any issuer or (ii) securities (other than "real estate assets" within the
meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code) having a value of more than 10% of
the total value of the outstanding securities of any issuer, other than
securities satisfying the straight debt safe harbor of Section 856(c)(7) of the
Code.

                  (r)      At no time on or prior to the Closing Date, have the
Companies provided services to tenants other than services that (i) do not give
rise to "impermissible tenant service income" as defined in Section 856(d)(7)
of the Code or (ii) give rise to impermissible tenant service income with
respect to any property for any taxable year in an amount not in excess of one
percent of all amounts received or accrued by the Companies with respect to
such property during such year.

                  (s)      Pinnacle does not own and has not owned, directly or
indirectly (including through attribution under the Code), stock of any entity
that is treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes other than a
stock of (i) "Qualified REIT Subsidiaries" within the


                                      18

meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code, (ii) "Taxable REIT Subsidiaries"
within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Code, or (iii) with respect to
periods prior to March 31, 2001, "preferred stock subsidiaries," the ownership
of which stock satisfied the provisions of Section 856(c)(4)(B) of the Code as
in effect during the term of such ownership.

                  (t)      Except as set forth in Section 3.16(t) of the
Companies' Disclosure Schedule, the Companies do not own and have not owned,
directly or indirectly (including through attribution under the Code), an
interest in a partnership or limited liability company in which Pinnacle was

                                 ARTICLE FOUR

                REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE INVESTORS

         Except as specifically set forth in the disclosure schedule prepared
and signed by each of the Investors (the "Investors' Disclosure Schedule") and
delivered to Pinnacle simultaneously with the execution hereof, each Investor
hereby represents and warrants as to itself to each of the Companies that all
of the statements contained in this Article IV are true and complete as of the
date of this Agreement (or, if made as of a specified date, as of such date),
and will be true and complete as of the Closing Date as though made on the
Closing Date. Each exception set forth in the Investors' Disclosure Schedule is
identified by reference to, or has been grouped under a heading referring to, a
specific individual section of this Agreement and, except as otherwise
specifically stated with respect to such exception, relates to such section.
The exceptions, modifications, descriptions and disclosures in any Schedule
attached hereto are made for all purposes of this Agreement and are exceptions
to all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or in any
agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement. Disclosure of an item in response to one Section of this Agreement
shall constitute disclosure in response to every Section of this Agreement
notwithstanding the fact that no express cross-reference is made. Disclosure of
any items not otherwise required to be disclosed shall not create any inference
of materiality. In the event of any inconsistency between statements in the
body of this Agreement and statements in the Investors' Disclosure Schedule
(excluding exceptions expressly set forth in the Investors' Disclosure Schedule
with respect to a specifically identified representation or warranty), the
statements in the body of this Agreement shall control:

         Section 4.1       Investment.

                  (a)      Each Investor is acquiring the New Common Shares for
investment for its own account, and not with a view to any resale or
distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Subject to the terms
of the Investor Agreement, each Investor understands that the New Common Shares
have not and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state
securities laws by reason of specific exemptions therefrom which depend upon,
among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the
accuracy of the Investor's representations as expressed herein.

                  (b)      Each Investor's financial condition and investments
are such that it is in a position to hold the New Common Shares for an
indefinite period, bear the economic risks of the investment and withstand the
complete loss of the investment. Each Investor has extensive knowledge and
experience in financial and business matters and has the capability to evaluate
the merits and risks of such New Common Shares. Each Investor qualifies as (i)
an "accredited investor" as such term is defined in Section 2(15) of the
Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder or (ii) a "qualified
institutional buyer" as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.


                                      23
<PAGE>


                  (c)      Each Investor (i) has had a complete opportunity to
conduct a due diligence investigation concerning the Companies' business
operations, financial affairs and prospects; (ii) has received all the
information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to enter
into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents; (iii) has examined and reviewed Pinnacle's most recent proxy
statement, Annual Report on Form 10-K, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and any
other Exchange Act reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
since the filing of Pinnacle's most recent Form 10-K; and (iv) has, in
conjunction with its legal counsel and other advisors, evaluated the risk
factors inherent in an investment in the New Common Shares.

         Section 4.2       Rule 144. Each Investor acknowledges that the New
Common Shares to be purchased by the Investor must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state
securities laws or unless exemptions from such registrations are available.
Each Investor is aware of and familiar with the provisions of Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act which permit limited resale of securities
purchased in a private placement subject to the satisfaction of certain
conditions.

         Section 4.3       Organization of the Investors. Each Investor is duly
organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization.

         Section 4.4       Authority of the Investors.

                  (a)      Each Investor has all right, power and authority to
execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and to comply
with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof applicable to such Investor.

                  (b)      The execution, delivery and performance by each
Investor of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents to which
it is a party, the compliance by each Investor with each of the provisions of
this Agreement and each of the Transaction Documents and the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, are within the power and
authority of each Investor, have been duly authorized and approved by the
requisite actions of each Investor and do not require any further authorization
or consent of any Investor or its beneficial owners. This Agreement is the
legal, valid and binding agreement of each Investor, enforceable against such
Investor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
other similar laws from time to time affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally.

         Section 4.5       Non-Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by each Investor of this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, will not (a) conflict with or result in a
breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default)
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Investor pursuant to any
agreement, instrument, franchise, license or permit to which the Investor is a
party or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound or (b) violate
or conflict with any judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation of
any court or any public, governmental


                                      24
<PAGE>


or regulatory agency or body applicable to the Investor or any of its
properties or assets, other than such breaches, defaults or violations that are
not reasonably expected to impair the ability of the Investor to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and performance by each
Investor of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a
party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
do not and will not violate or conflict with any provision of the
organizational documents of the Investor, as currently in effect. Except for
filings under the HSR Act (as defined in Section 7.1(a) herein), no consent,
approval, authorization, order, registration, filing, qualification, license or
permit of or with any court or any government agency or body applicable to an
Investor is required for the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

         Section 4.6       Brokers and Finders. No agent, broker, investment
banker, financial advisor or other firm or person engaged by or on behalf of
the Investors is or will be entitled to any broker's or finder's fee or any
other commission or similar fee in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

         Section 4.7       Litigation. Except as set forth in Section 4.7 of
the Investors' Disclosure Schedule, there is no Litigation pending or, to the
Knowledge of each Investor, threatened against any Investor or involving any of
their respective properties or assets by or before any court, arbitrator or
other Governmental Entity which (i) in any manner challenges or seeks to
prevent, enjoin, alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any of the other Transaction Documents or (ii) if resolved adversely to any
Investor would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the
ability of the Investors to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents. There is no judgment, decree, injunction,
rule, or order of any court, governmental department, commission, agency,
instrumentality or arbitrator outstanding against any Investor that could
reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Investors to fulfill their obligations under this Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents. No Investor is in default under or in breach of any
order, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or other Governmental Entity
which would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Investors
fulfill their obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents.

         Section 4.8       Consents and Approvals. To the Knowledge of each
Investor, no consent, approval, authorization of, declaration, filing, or
registration with, any federal, state, local or foreign government or
regulatory authority, is required to be made or obtained by either of the
Investors in connection with the execution, delivery, and performance of this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents contemplated hereby, except
for Governmental Requirements.

         Section 4.9       Sufficient Available Funds. Each Investor presently
has undrawn capital commitments drawable by it upon ten (10) Business Days'
notice in an amount sufficient to pay the Purchase Price for the New Investor
Shares to be purchased by it, and from the date hereof through and including
the Closing will continue to have, undrawn capital commitments sufficient to
satisfy all of its financial obligations under this Agreement. Each Investor
will promptly notify the Companies of any event or circumstance which at any
time from the date of


                                      25
<PAGE>


this Agreement through and including the Closing Date could (i) result in or be
reasonably expected to result in insufficient funds being available to such
Investor or (ii) hinder or reasonably be expected to hinder such Investor's
financial ability to perform its obligations hereunder and each Investor agrees
not to take any action that would reasonably be expected to result in
insufficient funds being available to such Investor or in hindering such
Investor's financial ability to perform its obligations hereunder. The
Commitment Letter, a true and complete copy of which is attached as Exhibit E
hereto, has been executed by each of the parties thereto and is in effect as of
the date of this Agreement, the fee letter referenced therein has been executed
and delivered by each party thereto and any fees required to be paid under such
fee letter through the date of this Agreement have been paid.

         Section 4.10      Beneficial Ownership. As of the date of this
Agreement, (a) each Investor is the record or beneficial owner of, or holder of
investment authority over, Senior Notes, Convertible Notes and Old Common Stock
in the aggregate principal amounts or number of shares, as applicable, set
forth as to such Investor in Section 4.10 of the Investors' Disclosure Schedule
and (b) no Investor has record or beneficial ownership, or holds investment
authority over, any other Senior Notes, Convertible Notes or Old Common Stock.

         Section 5.3       No Solicitation of Alternative Proposals. (a) Except
as expressly permitted in writing by the Investors, from and after the date of
this Agreement, none of the Companies shall authorize or permit any of their
Subsidiaries or any of the Companies' or the Subsidiaries' directors, officers,
employees, representatives, agents and advisors (including any investment

indirectly, to (i) solicit, initiate, or take any other action designed to
solicit proposals that constitutes, or would be reasonably expected to lead to,
a proposal or offer for a restructuring transaction pursuant to a plan of
reorganization, merger, consolidation, transfer or exchange of shares, debt
refinancing or similar transaction involving the Companies (collectively, an
"Alternative Proposal"), (ii) participate in any substantive discussions or
negotiations regarding any Alternative Proposal, except that discussions or
negotiations may be held with, and non-public information provided to, any
holders of the Senior Notes or other Persons controlled by such holders
concerning an Alternative Proposal, or (iii) enter into any letter of intent,
agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement

discussing and negotiating with, any Person that is considering making, or has
made, an unsolicited bona fide Alternative Proposal. In addition, none of the
Companies or any of their Representatives will be precluded from executing an
agreement providing for an Alternative Proposal or recommending any such
Alternative Proposal to the creditors and stockholders of the Companies, if in
the good faith opinion of Pinnacle's Board of Directors (in consultation with
its financial advisors) such Alternative Proposal provides a higher transaction
value to the Companies than the value of the transaction provided in this
Agreement and that Pinnacle's Board of Directors reasonably determines in good
faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that they are required to
authorize such actions by their fiduciary duties or under the Bankruptcy Code.
No Person considering making an Alternative Proposal shall be provided
non-public information by the Companies unless such Person has executed a
confidentiality agreement with terms that are materially no less favorable to
the Companies than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement between
Fortress and the Companies dated August 21, 2001 (the "Fortress Confidentiality
Agreement") and the Confidentiality Agreement between Greenhill and the
Companies dated August 21, 2001 (the "Greenhill Confidentiality Agreement,"
and, collectively with the "Fortress Confidentiality Agreement," the
"Confidentiality Agreements").

                  (b)      Each of the Companies shall notify the Investors
immediately (in no event later than 24 hours) after (i) receipt by the
Companies of any written Alternative Proposal by any Person that informs the
Companies that it is considering making, or has made, an Alternative Proposal,
or (ii) the delivery by the Companies of any non-public information in
connection with an Alternative Proposal or the granting of access by the
Companies to the properties, books or records of the Companies by any Person
that informs the Companies that it is considering making, or has made, an
Alternative Proposal. Such notice shall be made orally or in writing and shall
indicate, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of any confidentiality
agreement, the identity of the offeror and shall also indicate all the material
terms and conditions of such proposal, inquiry or contract.

<PAGE>


                  (c)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, the Companies agree that they will not (i) enter into a definitive
agreement relating to an Alternative Proposal unless such definitive agreement
shall provide for an obligation by the Companies to pay any portion of the
Break-Up Payment or Allowed Break-up Payment Claim, as the case may be, not
theretofore paid to the Investors pursuant to Section 8.2, in each case not
later than consummation of such Alternative Proposal, and (ii) consummate any
Alternative Proposal unless any portion of the Break-Up Payment or Allowed
Break-up Payment Claim, as the case may be, not theretofore paid to the
Investors pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be paid to the Investors not later than
consummation of such Alternative Proposal.

         Section 5.4       Access to Information. Each of the Companies shall,
and shall cause the Subsidiaries to, afford to each Investor and to the
officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other
representatives of such Investor, reasonable access during normal business
hours from the date hereof until the Closing to all the properties, books,
contracts, commitments, personnel, reports and records of or relating to the
Companies or the Subsidiaries, and during such period each of the Companies
shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, furnish promptly to the
Investors, any financing source identified by the Investors in connection with
the transactions contemplated hereby and to any other person that the Investors
may reasonably request (a) a copy of each report, schedule, registration
statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the
requirements of federal or state securities laws, (b) such operating reports,
financial reporting packages and other operational and/or financial information
sent to management or the Board of Directors of the Companies or to the banks
with whom the Companies and the Subsidiaries maintain credit facilities or
lines of credit and (c) all other information concerning its business,
properties and personnel as the Investors may reasonably request; provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 5.4 or otherwise shall require the
Companies to furnish to the Investors any materials prepared by the Companies'
financial advisors or legal advisors.

         Section 5.5       HSR Approval. Each of the Companies shall cooperate
with each Investor in obtaining as soon as practicable all necessary
governmental consents and approvals, including without limitation, termination
or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act.

         Section 5.6       Termination of Rights Agreement. Pinnacle shall take
all steps necessary to terminate, effective prior to the Closing Date, the

used by the Companies in accordance with the Bankruptcy Plan.

         Section 5.8       Restructuring.

                  (a)      The Companies and the Subsidiaries shall, in
coordination with the Investors, use commercially reasonable efforts to
restructure the capitalization of the Companies and the Subsidiaries pursuant
to the Bankruptcy Plan (the "Restructuring"). In furtherance of and without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Companies, Pinnacle Towers III,
Inc. or any such other Subsidiaries as shall be determined pursuant to Section
5.8(g) shall promptly


                                      30
<PAGE>


commence a Bankruptcy Case and file the Bankruptcy Plan and related Disclosure
Statement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Investors and the
Committee, with the Bankruptcy Court and seek to obtain the Confirmation Order
with respect to the Bankruptcy Plan and the Break-Up Payment Order as
expeditiously as possible in light of all circumstances.

                  (b)      The Bankruptcy Plan will offer each holder of the
Senior Notes its pro rata share, determined in accordance with the fully
accreted value at maturity of the Senior Notes of such holder's Senior Notes as
a portion of the fully accreted value at maturity of all Senior Notes (with
cash amounts rounded down to the nearest cent), of the Senior Note Holders Pool
Amount (as hereinafter defined) (the amount as so determined per $1,000 fully
accreted value of Senior Notes at maturity, the "Senior Note Holder
Consideration"). Subject to Section 5.8(c), the "Senior Note Holders Pool
Amount" shall equal $114,000,000, subject to possible increase under Section
5.8(d). Payments of the Senior Note Holder Consideration shall be made in the
form of either (i) 100% in cash or (ii) at the election of the holder, up to
100% in New Common Shares, with any remainder pursuant to the cash election,
with holders that make no election receiving the cash alternative; provided,
however, that (x) the number of the New Common Shares issued as Senior Note
Holder Consideration (the "Share Pool") shall not exceed 49.9% of the Required
New Share Amount (the "Share Pool Limit"), with any reduction in the amount of
New Common Shares to be received by individual holders needed to maintain the
Share Pool Limit to be applied on a pro rata basis among all holders electing
to receive New Common Shares based on the amounts elected to be received by
them as a portion of the total number of New Common Shares available to be so
allocated, and (y) holders of the Senior Notes who elect to receive 100% of
their consideration in the form of New Common Shares pursuant to Section
5.8(b)(ii) shall collectively have the right to purchase at the Purchase Price
per share up to 50% of any New Common Shares remaining in the Share Pool after
all the holders of the Senior Notes have made their election pursuant to
Section 5.8(b)(ii), with such purchase rights being allocated among such
electing holders based on the amounts elected to be received by them pursuant
to Section 5.8(b)(ii) as a portion of the total number of New Common Shares
available to be so allocated. In the event that there are any Additional Shares
(as defined below), in addition to their right to elect to receive Senior Note
Holder Consideration as set forth above in this Section 5.8(b), holders of the
Senior Notes who elect to receive 100% of their consideration in the form of
New Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(ii) shall collectively have the
right to purchase for cash at the Purchase Price per share up to 50% of any
Additional Shares, with such purchase rights being allocated among such
electing holders based on the amounts elected to be received by them pursuant
to Section 5.8(b)(ii) as a portion of the total number of New Common Shares
available to be so allocated and Senior Note holders electing to receive all of
their consideration in the form of New Common Shares. The number of "Additional
Shares" shall be the determined by dividing (i) the amount, if any, by which
the Required New Equity Amount shall exceed $228,000,000 by (ii) the Purchase
Price. Any holder of Senior Notes electing to receive all or part of such
holder's consideration in New Common Shares pursuant to Section 5.8(b)(ii) may
elect, subject to such holder becoming a party to the Investor Agreement and
the transfer restrictions contained therein, to have the benefit of certain
registration, preemptive and other rights, as provided in the Investor
Agreement. An election by a holder of Senior Notes under this Section 5.8(b) to
receive a portion of such holder's consideration in (x) New Common Shares shall
be deemed to be an election to forego the same portion of any cash
consideration allocated to


                                      31
<PAGE>
such holder pursuant to Section 5.8(d)). In the event that the Closing shall
occur on a date more than three months from the date of this Agreement, each
holder of Senior Notes electing to receive cash consideration pursuant to this
Section 5.8(b) shall be entitled to receive as additional consideration (rounded
down to the closest cent) an amount equal to the product of (w) the amount of
cash consideration so elected, excluding for such purposes any amount allocated
pursuant to Section 5.8(d), times (x) .05, times (y) the number of days that
occurs after the date that is three months from the date of this Agreement
through the Closing Date, divided by (z) 365; provided, however, that the
aggregate amount of such additional consideration shall be reduced to the extent
needed to cause the Initial Cash Funding not to exceed $415 million, with any
such reduction being allocated among the holders of Senior Notes electing to
receive cash consideration pursuant to this Section 5.8(b) in proportion to
their respective amounts of cash consideration otherwise being received pursuant
to this Section 5.8(b). The Investors, in their sole discretion, may increase,
but not decrease, the consideration offered to the holders of the Senior Notes;
provided, however, if the consideration offered to the holders of the Senior
Notes is increased pursuant to this sentence, such holders may change any
election made pursuant to this Section 5.8(b).

                  (c)      In the event that the Cash Funding exceeds
$415,000,000, the holders of not less than 66-2/3% in aggregate face amount of
the Senior Notes not held by the Investors (the "Requisite Holders") may elect,
on behalf of all holders of the Senior Notes, to reduce the Senior Note Holders
Pool Amount by the amount by which the Cash Funding exceeds $415,000,000 and
thereby cause the condition set forth in Section 7.2(o) to be satisfied. In the
event that as of the Closing Date a Determination shall not have been made as
to the Tax Amount, and subject to the consent of the Investors to be given or
denied in their sole discretion, the Committee may elect, on behalf of all
holders of the Senior Notes, for the Companies to establish an escrow (the "Tax
Escrow") as of the Closing Date into which would be deposited from the funds
that would otherwise fund the Senior Note Holders Pool Amount such amount as
may be agreed between the Committee and the Investors in their mutual sole
discretions.

                  (d)      The Bankruptcy Plan will offer to holders of the
Convertible Notes consideration in the form of (i) $500,000 in cash and (ii)
Warrants to purchase the number of New Common Shares equal to one-half the
Warrant Amount, with such rights and terms as set forth in the Warrant
Agreement attached as Exhibit G hereto, (individually, a "Warrant", and
collectively, the "Warrants"); provided, however, that if the holders of the
Convertible Notes do not vote, as a class, in favor of the Bankruptcy Plan and
provide full and enforceable releases to the Companies, they shall receive no
distributions under the Bankruptcy Plan. In addition to the foregoing, the
Bankruptcy Plan will offer, on behalf of the Companies and their respective
current and former officers, directors and agents, a pool consisting of
$500,000 in cash and Warrants to purchase the number of New Common Shares equal
to one-half the Warrant Amount, which shall be shared pro rata to those holders
of the Convertible Notes who elect to give full and enforceable releases to the
Companies and their respective current and former officers, directors and
agents; provided, that any holder of Convertible Notes who does not
affirmatively decline to provide such release shall be deemed to have elected
to provide such release and no beneficiary of any such release may receive more
consideration than such beneficiary would have received had all holders of
Convertible Notes provided releases. The Bankruptcy Plan will offer to holders
of the Common Stock, together with those parties with claims arising from the
purchase and sale of the Common Stock, consideration in the form of


                                      32
<PAGE>


Warrants to purchase the number of New Common Shares equal to one-half of the
Old Common Stock Amount; provided, however, that if the holders of the Common
Stock and such claims do not vote, as a class, in favor of the Bankruptcy Plan
and provide full and enforceable releases to the Companies, they shall receive
no distributions. In addition to the foregoing, the Bankruptcy Plan will offer,
on behalf of the Companies and their respective current and former officers,
directors and agents, a pool consisting of Warrants to purchase the number of
New Common Shares equal to one-half of the Old Common Stock Amount, which shall
be shared pro rata by those holders of the Common Stock, together with those
parties with claims arising from the purchase and sale of the Common Stock, who
elect to give full and enforceable releases to the Companies and their
respective current and former officers, directors and agents; provided, that
any holder of Old Common Stock who does not affirmatively decline to provide
such release shall be deemed to have elected to provide such release and no
beneficiary of any such release may receive more consideration than such
beneficiary would have received had all holders of Common Stock provided
releases. Warrants to purchase a fractional number of New Common Shares shall
not be issued and the number of Warrants to be received by any individual
holder of Convertible Notes or Common Stock shall be adjusted downward to the
closest whole number to satisfy such requirement. If either of the foregoing
classes do not vote to accept the Bankruptcy Plan or if either class does not
receive any distribution pursuant to the "cramdown provisions" of 11 U.S.C.
ss.1129, then the most junior class immediately senior to the unaccepting class
(or the class that did not receive any distribution) shall receive the
distribution which otherwise would have gone to such unaccepting class (or the
class that did not receive any distribution). For purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence, amounts being distributed solely in consideration of the
receipt of releases shall not be deemed distributions. Subject to the approval
of the Companies and the Committee, the Investors may increase, but not
decrease, the consideration offered to each of the holders of the Convertible
Notes and the Common Stock, except to the extent required by the "cramdown
provisions" of 11 U.S.C. ss.1129.

                  (e)      All other claims against and interests in the
Companies shall be treated as set forth in the Bankruptcy Plan.

                  (f)      In connection with and conditioned upon the
consummation of the Bankruptcy Plan, New Pinnacle shall (i) adopt the Employee
Stock Option Plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the "Employee Stock
Option Plan") with the number of New Common Shares issuable thereunder equal to
the Option Share Amount and (ii) grant options to purchase New Common Shares to
the Companies' employees (the "Employee Stock Option Shares") in accordance
with Section 5.8(f) of the Companies' Disclosure Schedule.

                  (g)      The Companies shall reject, or cause the relevant
Subsidiaries to reject, those of the Companies' executory contracts and leases
(as such terms are used in the Bankruptcy Code) as may be consented to by the
Investors and shall cause each Subsidiary which is a party to such a rejected
executory contract or lease to file a petition for bankruptcy relief in
connection with the Restructuring Transaction. The aggregate amount of
rejection damages required to be paid by the Companies or Subsidiaries to the
parties to such executory contracts or leases, either by agreement with such
parties or by order of the Bankruptcy Court, shall be the "Lease Rejection
Amount," which shall increase the Required New Equity Amount and be funded by
the Investors through the purchase of New Common Shares. The Companies and the
Investors shall mutually agree as to which other Subsidiaries will file
petitions for


                                      33
<PAGE>


bankruptcy relief in connection with the Restructuring Transaction. In the
event the parties cannot agree, the decision of the Companies will prevail.

                  (h)      The Companies shall file the Bankruptcy Plan, and
(x) if this Agreement has been terminated prior to the commencement of the
Bankruptcy Case under circumstances in which the Investors are entitled to the
Break-Up Payment, a motion (the "Break-Up Payment Claim Motion") for allowance
as a general unsecured claim in each of the Companies' Bankruptcy Cases of the
Investors' claim for payment of the Break-Up Payment (the "Allowed Break-Up
Payment Claim"), together with all necessary supporting papers and a proposed
Break-Up Payment Claim Order substantially in the form of the order attached
hereto as Exhibit I, or (y) if this Agreement remains in force at the time of
the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, a motion (the "Break-Up Payment
Motion") for approval of the Break-Up Payment, together with all necessary
supporting papers and a proposed Break-Up Payment Order substantially in the
form of the order attached hereto as Exhibit J. Prior to the termination of
this Agreement, the Companies shall submit to the Investors for their review
and comment all non-ministerial motions, orders, applications and supporting
papers and notices prepared by the Companies (including without limitation,
forms of orders and notices to interested parties) relating in any way to the
Bankruptcy Case, prior to their being filed with the Bankruptcy Court.

                  (i)      Concurrently with the consummation of the Bankruptcy
Plan, Pinnacle shall merge with and into New Pinnacle, with New Pinnacle being
the surviving entity and the direct parent corporation of PTI.

                  (j)      The Investors and the Companies agree that if facts
and circumstances relating to the Investors' ownership of New Common Shares
arise that would result in the loss of the Companies' qualification as a REIT
upon completion of the Closing, neither such facts or circumstances, nor any
action taken by the Investors in their efforts to maintain the Companies'
qualification as a REIT, will in any way affect the receipt or retention, by a
holder of Senior Notes who has elected to receive New Common Shares, of the
full amount of New Common Shares that such holder is otherwise entitled to
receive pursuant to the Restructuring. In the event such facts and
circumstances arise, the Investors may opt to either (i) preserve the
Companies' qualification as a REIT in a manner that does not reduce the amount
of New Common Shares distributed to any holder of Senior Notes who has elected
to receive New Common Shares, or (ii) consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby notwithstanding any termination of Pinnacle's status as a REIT that may
occur. Each of the Investors and each of the Companies hereby agrees to take
any action necessary, including, without limitation, removing the ownership
limitations imposed by Article IV, Part B, and Article IV, Part C of the
Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Pinnacle and causing the
Board of Directors of New Pinnacle to exempt each holder of Senior Notes who
has elected to receive New Common Shares from the application of the provisions
of Section 2.1(a) of Part D of Article Four of the New Pinnacle Certificate of
Incorporation, to allow each holder of Senior Notes who has elected to receive
New Common Shares in the Restructuring to receive and hold such New Common
Shares without violating any limitations imposed by the organizational
documents of either Company or of New Pinnacle, and appropriately reducing the
Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit in Section 1 of Part D of Article Four of the
New Pinnacle Certificate of Incorporation to account for the exemptions granted
by the Board of Directors of New Pinnacle to the holders of the Senior Notes
who have elected to receive New Common Shares in the Restructuring.

         Section 5.9       Investor Agreement. At or prior to the Closing,
Pinnacle shall enter into the Investor Agreement for the benefit of the
Investors and any holders of Senior Notes who acquire New Common Shares and
make the election to become a party to the Investor Agreement pursuant to
Section 5.8(b).

         Section 5.10      Corporate Governance. Immediately prior to the
Closing, Pinnacle shall cause the resignations of the directors listed in
Section 5.10 of the Companies' Disclosure Schedule. The Board of Directors of
New Pinnacle from and after the Closing through the first annual meeting of
shareholders of New Pinnacle following consummation of the Bankruptcy Plan,
which will be no earlier than May 1, 2003, shall have the following nine
members: (i) Steven R. Day; (ii) five members designated by the Investors in
their sole discretion; (iii) in the event that Abrams Capital shall acquire New
Common Shares representing at least 10% of the New Common Shares outstanding as
of the Closing Date, David Abrams or a designee of David Abrams reasonably
acceptable to the Investors; and (iv) two (or, in the event that no director is
appointed pursuant to clause (iii), three) members to be established by the
Investors identifying a number of proposed members equal to one more than the
available slots and the Committee having the right to veto one proposed member.
In the event that David Abrams or his designee shall become a director, he or
she shall be assigned to the class of directors whose term will expire at New
Pinnacle's 2005 annual meeting of shareholders. The Investors shall have the
ongoing right to appoint (i) five (5) directors if the Investors hold a number
of shares representing 50% or more of Pinnacle's then outstanding Common Stock;
(ii) four (4) directors if the Investors hold a number of shares representing
between 35% and up to 50% of Pinnacle's then outstanding Common Stock; (iii)
three (3) directors if the Investors hold a number of shares representing
between 20% and up to 35% of Pinnacle's then outstanding Common Stock; and (iv)
two (2) directors if the Investors hold a number of shares representing between
10% and up to 20% of Pinnacle's then outstanding Common Stock.

         Section 5.11      Delivery of Documents. The Companies shall promptly
deliver to the Investors copies of all filings by the Companies with the SEC.

         Section 5.12      Review of Audit. The Companies shall permit the
accounting representative of the Investors to review the audit (including the
appropriate review of company and auditor work papers) of the Companies'
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2001.

         Section 5.13      Releases. In the event a Bankruptcy Case is
commenced, the Companies shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
that the Confirmation Order shall provide, among other things, that the
directors, officers, advisors, attorneys, investment bankers and agents of the
Companies, each Investor and each holder of Senior Notes and their respective
affiliates, members, managers, shareholders, partners, representatives,
employees, attorneys and agents are released from any and all Litigation
related to the Companies, their business, their governance, their securities
disclosure practices, the purchase or sale of any of the Companies' equity or
debt securities, the Restructuring or the Restructuring Transaction.

         Section 5.14      Investor Compliance With Regulatory Requirements. To
the extent that an Investor is required under an applicable law or regulation
(including, but not limited to, the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as
amended, and as it may be further


                                      35
<PAGE>


amended) to modify the terms of the New Common Shares, or to defer receipt of
certain rights and privileges associated with the New Common Shares including
the right to influence the management or policies of the Companies in order to
conform to the requirements of such law or regulation, the Companies will
cooperate with the Investor to take such steps as may be reasonably necessary
to conform the investment represented by the New Common Shares to the
requirements of such law or regulation; provided, that no such change shall
reduce the Senior Note Holder Consideration without the approval of the
Committee.

         Section 5.15      Payment of Investors' Expenses. In the event that
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the Companies
shall pay directly or reimburse the Investors for up to an additional
$1,500,000 (excluding any reimbursement of expenses received prior to the date
hereof) of their out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the fees and
expenses of advisors, accountants, attorneys, consultants and other parties
whom the Investors have engaged to assist them in connection with a possible
investment in the Companies, incurred by the Investors in connection with the
evaluation, negotiation and consummation of this Agreement, the Restructuring,
the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby.

         Section 5.16      Tax Matters.

                  (a)      The Companies shall not, and shall not permit any
Subsidiary to, (i) make or rescind any election relating to Taxes if such
action would adversely affect the status of Pinnacle as a REIT or the status of
any Subsidiary that is currently a partnership as a partnership for federal
income tax purposes, (ii) without the written consent of the Investors, which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld, settle or compromise any material
claim, action, suit, litigation, proceeding, arbitration, investigation, audit
or controversy relating to Taxes over $100,000 unless such settlement or
compromise results in a change in taxable income or Tax liability that will
reverse in future periods and is therefore, by its nature, a timing difference
or (iii) change in any material respect any of its methods of reporting income
or deductions for federal income tax purposes from those employed in the
preparation of its federal income tax return for the taxable year ending
December 31, 2000, except as may be required by applicable law or except for
such changes that would reduce consolidated federal taxable income or
alternative minimum taxable income. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that, after the date hereof, the Companies seek a
"Closing Agreement" from the IRS or a definitive ruling or settlement agreement
from the IRS or any state, local or foreign taxing authority on a matter that
is subject to a representation, warranty or covenant set forth in this
Agreement or any of the related transaction documents, then: (A) the Companies
shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, keep the Investors informed as to the
status of such agreement and any discussions, negotiations or arrangements
related thereto, and (B) the Companies shall not, and shall cause any such
Subsidiary not to, file or submit any document to any taxing authority in
connection with any such agreement without first providing the Investors with
(1) copies of any such document and (2) an opportunity to review and comment on
any such document prior to such filing or submission.

                  (b)      The Companies hereby agree to take any action at any
time, or from time to time, that in the reasonable judgments of the Companies
and the Investors is legally


                                      36
<PAGE>


necessary for Pinnacle to maintain its qualification as a REIT within the
meaning of Sections 856-860 of the Code for all periods through the Closing
Date.

         Section 5.17      Notification of Certain Matters. From the date
hereof through the Closing, the Companies shall give prompt notice to the
Investors of the occurrence, or failure to occur, of any event the occurrence
or failure of which caused any of Companies' or Investors' respective
representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or
inaccurate in any material respect; provided, however, that no such
notification shall be deemed for any purpose under this Agreement to permit the
Companies to alter or amend the representations and warranties contained
herein.

satisfactory to the Companies, to the foregoing effect. Said representations

Documents shall be in full force and effect and there shall exist no material

                  (a)      by the mutual written consent of the Investors and
the Companies;

                  (b)      by the Investors or any of the Companies if: (i) the
Closing has not occurred within six (6) months from the earlier to occur of (A)
the date of filing of the Bankruptcy Plan and (ii) May 15, 2002; or (ii) there
shall be any law that makes consummation of the purchase of the New Common

prohibiting the purchase of the New Common Shares hereunder and such order,
decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and non-appealable;
provided, that any termination by the Companies pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i)
shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Committee and provided
further that, notwithstanding clause (i) above or any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, the Companies and the Investors may amend this
Agreement without the approval of the Committee to extend the termination date
provided for in clause (i) above for an additional month if at the time of such
amendment the Confirmation Order shall have been obtained and the Companies and
the Investors are continuing to work diligently to satisfy any remaining
conditions in Article VII, it being understood that thereafter the Senior Note
holders may withdraw their votes in approval of the Bankruptcy Plan;

                  (c)      by the Investors, (i) if the Board of Directors of

the Companies recommends an Alternative Proposal, (iii) if the Companies enter

having voted their Senior Notes in favor of the Bankruptcy Plan;

                  (d)      (i) by the Investors, if any of the conditions to
the obligations of such Investor set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 are
not satisfied at or prior to the Closing, and such failure cannot be or has not
been cured within 30 days after the giving of written notice to the Companies,
the Committee and the other Investor; and (ii) by the Companies (subject to the
reasonable approval of the Committee if the Investors shall have indicated

obligations of the Companies set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 are not
satisfied at or prior to the Closing, and such failure cannot be or has not
been cured within twenty (20) Business Days after the giving of written notice
to the Investors;

                  (e)      by the Investors, if the Companies have not complied
with their obligations under Section 8.2 relating to seeking Bankruptcy Court
approval of their obligations to pay the Break-Up Payment (including the timing
of the filing of a motion and proposed order related thereto that is reasonably
acceptable to the Investors in all respects) or if the Bankruptcy Court has not
issued an order approving such obligations, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Investors, within 45 days following commencement of the
Bankruptcy Case;

                  (f)      by the Companies, if (i) the Board of Directors of
Pinnacle determines in good faith after consultation with the Committee and
after giving due regard to the preferences expressed by the Requisite Holders
that termination of this Agreement is necessary


                                      43
<PAGE>


in order for the Companies to accept any Alternative Proposal, or (ii) the
Bankruptcy Court has ordered the Companies to terminate this Agreement in order
to accept any Alternative Proposal; provided, that, the Companies shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (i) above only if they
have complied with all of the provisions of Section 5.3, including the notice
provisions thereof, and shall comply with the requirements of Section 8.2
relating to any required payment (including the timing of any payment) of the
Break-Up Payment or Allowed Break-up Payment Claim, as the case may be, prior
to termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f);

                  (g)      by the Companies, if any of the Investors shall have

breach by the Companies or any Subsidiary of any covenant or other agreement
contained herein which has not been cured or is not curable within twenty (20)
Business Days after the Investors giving of written notice to the Companies or
(ii) for twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of any MAE Notice by the
Companies; provided, however, that the failure of the Investors to terminate
this Agreement based on the facts described in a MAE Notice shall not preclude
the Investors from thereafter terminating this Agreement or exercising its
right not to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under
Section 7.2(a) or 7.2(s) if other events, developments or circumstances when,
considered in the aggregate with the facts described in one or more MAE
Notices, in the aggregate constitute a Material Adverse Effect.;

                  (i)      by the Companies or the Non-Breaching Investor
pursuant to Section 2.4; or

                  (j)      by the Investors or the Companies (subject to the
reasonable approval of the Committee if the Investors have indicated their
willingness to complete the Closing), in the event the Commitment Letter is
terminated by the lenders thereunder or expires and either (i) within twenty
(20) Business Days after such termination, the Companies do not secure
alternative committed financing that would satisfy Section 7.2(f)(i) (the
"Alternative Financing") or (ii) the lenders proposing to provide the
Alternative Financing terminate their commitment thereunder.

         Section 8.2       Break-Up Payment.

                  (a)      The Investors shall be entitled to receive from the
Companies a payment (the "Break-Up Payment") in an aggregate amount equal to
$12,000,000 if at the time of termination of this Agreement the Investors are
not in breach of any of their obligations hereunder, the Commitment Letter or a
commitment from lenders to provide the Alternative Financing remains in effect
and either or both of the following occurs: (i) the Investors terminate this
Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(c) or the Companies terminate this Agreement
pursuant to Section 8.1(f): or (ii) this Agreement is terminated by the
Companies pursuant to Section 8.1(b) while in breach of this Agreement (it
being understood that a breach by the Company of its representations and
warranties under Article III shall not be deemed to be a breach for


                                      44
<PAGE>


purposes of this clause (ii)) and within three months following such
termination the Companies enter into an agreement contemplating an Alternative
Proposal (other than a "stand alone" plan) providing a higher transaction value
to the Companies than the transaction provided by this Agreement.

                  (b)      If this Agreement has been terminated prior to the
commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, then any distributions to be made on
account of the Allowed Break-Up Payment Claim shall be made (x) pursuant to the
terms of any plan(s) of reorganization confirmed for the debtors in the
Bankruptcy Case, or (y) as otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, or (ii)
if this Agreement remains in force at the time of the commencement of the
Bankruptcy Case, then any payment of the Break-Up Payment, in same day funds,
to the Investors shall occur (x) upon the closing of the first Alternative
Proposal completed following termination of this Agreement, or (y) as otherwise
prescribed in the Break-Up Payment Order if it shall have been entered by the
Bankruptcy Court.

                  (c)      In the event a Bankruptcy Case is commenced, the
Companies shall promptly, but in no event later than three (3) Business Days
after commencement of such Bankruptcy Case, take all action reasonably
necessary, including filing any motion, proposed order and supporting
documents, to seek (i) if this Agreement has been terminated prior to the
commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, allowance of the Break-Up Payment as a
general unsecured claim in each of the Companies' Bankruptcy Cases, or (ii) if
this Agreement remains in force at the time of the commencement of the
Bankruptcy Case, approval from the Bankruptcy Court of the Companies'
obligation to pay the Break-Up Payment to each Investor as administrative
expenses in each of the Companies' Bankruptcy Cases. Any and all motions and
other documents filed by the Companies in connection with their obligations
under this Section 8.2 must be reasonably acceptable to each Investor.

                  (d)      The Companies acknowledge and agree that (i) the
payment of the Break-Up Payment is an integral part of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) in the absence of the Companies'
obligations to make this payment, neither Investor would have entered into this
Agreement and (iii) time is of the essence with respect to the payment of the
Break-Up Payment.

                  (e)      Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section
8.2, neither Investor shall be entitled to any Break-Up Payment or any other
claim against or recovery from the Companies upon any termination of this
Agreement if any Investor caused such termination by breaching any of its
representations, warranties or covenants and such Investor fails to cure its
breach after thirty (30) days' written notice thereof.

Effective Date, each Stockholder (a "Requesting Stockholder") shall be entitled
to make a written request of the Company (a "Demand") for registration under
the Securities Act of an amount equal to or greater than the Registrable Amount
(a "Demand Registration") and thereupon the Company will, subject to the terms
of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the
registration under the Securities Act of:

                                    (i)      the Registrable Securities which
the Company has been so requested to register by the Requesting Stockholders
for disposition in accordance with the intended method of disposition stated in
such request;

                                    (ii)     all other Registrable Securities
which the Company has been requested to register pursuant to Section 2.1(b);

the Company may elect to register in connection with any offering of
Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 2.1, but subject to Section
2.1(g);

all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the
intended methods thereof) of the Registrable Securities and the additional
Common Stock, if any, to be so registered.

                           (b)      Demands. A Demand shall specify: (i) the
aggregate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered in such
Demand Registration, (ii) the intended method of disposition in connection with
such Demand Registration, to the extent then known, and (iii) the identity of
the Requesting Stockholder or Stockholders. Within five days after receipt of a
Demand, the Company shall give written notice of such Demand to each other
Stockholder. Subject to Section 2.1(h), the Company shall include in such
registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has
received a written request for inclusion therein within ten days after the
Company's notice required by this paragraph has been given. Such written notice
shall comply with the requirements of a Demand as set forth in this Section
2.1(b).

                           (c)      Number of Demands. Each Stockholder shall
be entitled to unlimited Demand Registrations for so long as it holds a
Registrable Amount.

                           (d)      Effective Registration Statement. A Demand
Registration shall not be deemed to have been effected and shall not count as a
Demand (i) unless a


                                       5

registration statement with respect thereto has become effective and has
remained effective for a period of at least 60 days (or such shorter period in
which all Registrable Securities included in such registration have actually
been sold thereunder), (ii) if, after it has become effective, such
registration becomes subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or
requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any
reason, or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase
agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such
registration are not satisfied, other than by reason of some act or omission by
such Requesting Stockholders.

                           (e)      Registration Statement Form. Demand
Registrations shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission
as shall be selected by the Requesting Stockholders and shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Company.

                           (f)      Restrictions on Demand Registrations. The
Company shall not be obligated to (i) maintain the effectiveness of a
registration statement under the Securities Act, filed pursuant to a Demand
Registration, for a period longer than 60 days, or (ii) effect any Demand
Registration (A) within six months of a "firm commitment" underwritten
registration in which all Stockholder holding a Registrable Amount were given
"piggyback" rights pursuant to Section 2.2 (subject to Section 2.1(g) and at
least 50% of the number of Registrable Securities requested by such
Stockholders to be included in such registration were included, (B) within six
months of any other Demand Registration, or (C) if, in the Company's reasonable
judgment, it is not feasible for the Company to proceed with the Demand
Registration because of the unavailability of audited financial statements. In
addition, the Company shall be entitled to postpone (upon written notice to all
Stockholders) for up to 120 days the filing or the effectiveness of a
registration statement for a Demand Registration (but no more than twice in any
period of 12 consecutive months) if the Board determines in good faith and in
its reasonable judgment that the Demand Registration or the disclosure of
material, non-public information that the Company has a bona fide business
purpose for preserving as confidential. In the event of a postponement by the
Company of the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand
Registration, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities held by the
Requesting Stockholder(s) shall have the right to withdraw such Demand in
accordance with Section 2.4.

                           (g)      Participation in Demand Registrations. The
Company shall not include any securities other than Registrable Securities in a
Demand Registration, except with the written consent of Stockholders
participating in such Demand Registration that hold a majority of the
Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration. If, in connection
with a Demand Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such Demand
Registration is not an underwritten offering, a nationally recognized
independent underwriter selected by Fortress and Greenhill, reasonably
acceptable to the Company, and whose fees and expenses shall be borne solely by
the Company) advises the Company, in writing, that, in its opinion, the
inclusion of all of the securities, including securities of the Company that
are not Registrable Securities, sought to be registered in connection with such
Demand Registration would adversely affect the marketability of the Registrable
Securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the Company shall include
in such registration statement only such securities as the


                                       6
<PAGE>


Company is advised by such underwriter can be sold without such adverse effect
(the "Maximum Demand Number") as follows and in the following order of
priority: (i) first, up to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be
included in such registration by the Stockholders, which, in the opinion of the
underwriter can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the
offering, pro rata among such Stockholders requesting such registration on the
basis of the number of such securities requested to be included by such
Stockholders; (ii) second, securities the Company proposes to sell; and (iii)
third, all other securities of the Company duly requested to be included in
such registration statement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such other
securities requested to be included or such other method determined by the
Company.

                           (h)      Selection of Underwriters. At any time and
from time to time, the Investors may elect to have Registrable Securities sold
in an underwritten offering. Anytime that a Demand Registration involves an
underwritten offering, Fortress and Greenhill may select the investment banker
or investment bankers and managers that will serve as lead and co-managing
underwriters with respect to the offering of such Registrable Securities,
subject to the consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld.

                  Section 2.2       Piggyback Registrations.

                           (a)      Right to Piggyback. Subject to the terms
and conditions hereof, whenever the Company proposes to register any of its
securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration by the Company
on a registration statement on Form S-4 or a registration statement on Form S-8
or any successor form) (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company shall give the
Stockholders prompt written notice thereof (but not less than ten Business Days
prior to the filing by the Company with the Commission of any registration
statement with respect thereto). Such notice (a "Piggyback Notice") shall
specify, at a minimum, the number of securities proposed to be registered, the
proposed date of filing of such registration statement with the Commission, the
proposed means of distribution, the proposed managing underwriter or
underwriters (if any and if known), and a good faith estimate by the Company of
the proposed minimum offering price of such securities. Upon the written
request of a Stockholder (a "Piggyback Seller") (which written request shall
specify the number of Registrable Securities then presently intended to be
disposed of by such Stockholder) given within ten days after such Piggyback
Notice is sent to such Stockholder, the Company, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
all such Registrable Securities held by Stockholders with respect to which the
Company has received such written requests for inclusion to be included in such
Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as the Company's
securities being sold in such Piggyback Registration.

                           (b)      Priority on Piggyback Registrations. If, in
connection with a Piggyback Registration, any managing underwriter (or, if such
Piggyback Registration is not an underwritten offering, a nationally recognized
independent underwriter selected by Fortress and Greenhill, reasonably
acceptable to the Company, and whose fees and expenses shall be borne solely by
the Company) advises the Company, in writing, that, in


                                       7
<PAGE>


its opinion, the inclusion of all the securities sought to be included in such
Piggyback Registration by the Company, by others who have sought to have shares
registered thereunder pursuant to rights to demand (other than pursuant to
so-called "piggyback" or other incidental or participation registration rights)
such registration (such demand rights being "Other Demand Rights" and such
Persons being "Other Demanding Sellers"), by the Piggyback Sellers and by any
other proposed sellers, as the case may be, would adversely affect the
marketability of the securities sought to be sold pursuant thereto, then the
Company shall include in the registration statement applicable to such
Piggyback Registration only such securities as the Company is so advised by
such underwriter can be sold without such an effect (the "Maximum Piggyback
Number"), as follows and in the following order of priority:

                                    (i)      if the Piggyback Registration
relates to an offering for the Company's own account, then (A) first, such
number of securities to be sold by the Company as the Company, in its
reasonable judgment and acting in good faith and in accordance with sound
financial practice, shall have determined, (B) second, Registrable Securities
of Piggyback Sellers, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such Registrable
Securities held by such Piggyback Sellers, and (C) third, other Common Stock
held by any other proposed sellers;

                                    (ii)     if the Piggyback Registration
relates to an offering other than for the Company's own account, then (A)
first, such number of securities sought to be registered by each Other
Demanding Seller, pro rata in proportion to the number of securities sought to
be registered by all such Other Demanding Sellers, (B) second, Registrable
Securities of Piggyback Sellers pro rata on the basis of the amount of such
Registrable Securities held by such Piggyback Sellers, and (C) third, other
Common Stock held by any other proposed sellers or to be sold by the Company.

                           (c)      Terms of Underwriting. In connection with
any offering under this Section 2.2 involving an underwriting for the Company's
account, the Company shall not be required to include a holder's Registrable
Securities in the underwritten offering unless such holder accepts the terms of
the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters
selected by the Company, provided that any such underwriting agreement includes
only customary terms and conditions.

                           (d)      Withdrawal by the Company. If, at any time
after giving written notice of its intention to register any of its securities
as set forth in this Section 2.2 and prior to the time the registration
statement filed in connection with such registration is declared effective, the
Company shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, the
Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each
Stockholder and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any
Registrable Securities in connection with such particular withdrawn or
abandoned registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration
Expenses in connection therewith as provided herein); provided that
Stockholders may continue the registration as a Demand Registration pursuant to
the terms of Section 2.1.

                  Section 2.3       Shelf Registration.

                           (a)      Subject to Section 2.3(d), and further
subject to the availability of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 ("Form
S-3") to the Company, at any time after the Effective Date each of Fortress and
Greenhill or any of their respective Permitted Transferees may by written
notice delivered to the Company (the "Shelf Notice") require the Company to
file as soon as practicable (but no later than 60 days after the date the Shelf
Notice is delivered), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be
declared effective by the SEC (within 90 days after such filing date), a Form
S-3 providing for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule
415 under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale, from time to time,
of the Registrable Securities beneficially owned by such Investor and the other
Stockholders holding a Registrable Amount who elect to participate therein as
provided in Section 2.3(b) in accordance with the plan and method of
distribution set forth in the prospectus included in such Form S-3 (the "Shelf
Registration Statement").

                           (b)      Within five Business Days after receipt of
a Shelf Notice pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the Company will deliver written
notice thereof to each Stockholder. Each Stockholder may elect to participate
in the Shelf Registration Statement by delivering to the Company a written
request to so participate within ten days after the Shelf Notice is given to
any such Stockholders.

                           (c)      Subject to Section 2.3(d), the Company will
use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective until the earlier of (i) one year after the Shelf
Registration Statement has been declared effective; and (ii) the date on which
all Registrable Securities covered by the Shelf Registration Statement have
been sold thereunder in accordance with the plan and method of distribution
disclosed in the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement, or
otherwise.

                           (d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, the Company shall be entitled, from time to time,
by providing written notice to the Stockholders who elected to participate in
the Shelf Registration Statement, to require such Stockholders to suspend the
use of the prospectus for sales of Registrable Securities under the Shelf
Registration Statement for a reasonable period of time not to exceed 60 days in
succession or 90 days in the aggregate in any 12 month period (a "Suspension
Period") if the Company shall determine that it is required to disclose in the
Shelf Registration Statement a financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization
or other similar corporate transaction or other material event or circumstance
affecting the Company or its securities, and that the disclosure of such
information at such time would be detrimental to the Company or its
stockholders. Immediately upon receipt of such notice, the Stockholders covered
by the Shelf Registration Statement shall suspend the use of the prospectus
until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made as required below.
Any Suspension Period shall terminate at such time as the public disclosure of
such information is made. After the expiration of any Suspension Period and
without any further request from a Stockholder, the Company shall as promptly
as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment or supplement to
the Shelf Registration Statement or the prospectus, or any document
incorporated therein by reference, or file any other required document so that,
as thereafter delivered to


                                       9
<PAGE>


purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, the prospectus will
not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  Section 2.4       Withdrawal Rights. Any Stockholder having
notified or directed the Company to include any or all of its Registrable
Securities in a registration statement under the Securities Act shall have the
right to withdraw any such notice or direction with respect to any or all of
the Registrable Securities designated by it for registration by giving written
notice to such effect to the Company prior to the effective date of such
registration statement. In the event of any such withdrawal, the Company shall
not include such Registrable Securities in the applicable registration and such
Registrable Securities shall continue to be Registrable Securities for all
purposes of this Agreement. No such withdrawal shall affect the obligations of
the Company with respect to the Registrable Securities not so withdrawn;
provided, that, in the case of a Demand Registration, if such withdrawal shall
reduce the number of Registrable Securities sought to be included in such
registration below the Registrable Amount, then the Company shall as promptly
as practicable give each holder of Registrable Securities sought to be
registered notice to such effect and, within ten days following the mailing of
such notice, such holder of Registrable Securities still seeking registration
shall, by written notice to the Company, elect to register additional
Registrable Securities to satisfy the Registrable Amount or elect that such
registration statement not be filed or, if theretofore filed, be withdrawn.
During such ten day period, the Company shall not file such registration
statement if not theretofore filed or, if such registration statement has been
theretofore filed, the Company shall not seek, and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to prevent, the effectiveness thereof. Any registration
statement withdrawn or not filed (a) in accordance with an election by the
Company, (b) in accordance with an election by the Requesting Stockholders in
the case of a Demand Registration or by Fortress or Greenhill or their
respective Permitted Transferees with respect to a Shelf Registration
Statement, or (c) in accordance with an election by the Company subsequent to
the effectiveness of the applicable Demand registration statement because any
post-effective amendment or supplement to the applicable Demand registration
statement contains information regarding the Company which the Company deems
adverse to the Company, shall not be counted as a Demand.

                  Section 2.5       Holdback Agreements. Each Stockholder
agrees not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant
to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible
into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the ten day
period prior to and the 120 day period following the date on which the Company
has notified the Stockholders that it, or in the case of a Demand Registration,
the Requesting Stockholders, intend to commence a public offering, Demand
Registration or Piggyback Registration (in each case, except as part of such
registration), or, in each case, a later date required by any underwriting
agreement with respect thereto.

                  Section 2.6       Registration Procedures.

                           (a)      Registration. If and whenever the Company
is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration
of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Sections
2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 the Company shall as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

                                    (i)      prepare and file with the
Commission a registration statement to effect such registration and thereafter
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to
become and remain effective, pursuant to the terms of this agreement; provided
however that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities
which are not Registrable Securities at any time prior to the effective date of
the registration statement relating thereto; provided further that before
filing such registration statement or any amendments thereto, the Company will
furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of Registrable Securities which
are to be included in such registration ("Selling Holders") copies of all such
documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review
of such counsel, and such review to be conducted with reasonable promptness;

                                    (ii)     prepare and file with the
Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such
registration statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such registration statement until the earlier of such time as all of such
securities have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of
disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration
statement or (i) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.1, the
expiration of 60 days after such registration statement becomes effective, or
(ii) in the case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.2, the expiration of
60 days after such registration statement becomes effective or (iii) in the
case of a registration pursuant to Section 2.3, the expiration of one year
after such registration statement becomes effective;

                                    (iii)    furnish to each Selling Holder and
each underwriter, if any, of the securities being sold by such Selling Holder
such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each
amendment and supplement thereto (in each case including all exhibits), such
number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement
(including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any
other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act, in conformity
with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such
Selling Holder and underwriter, if any, may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such seller;

                                    (iv)     use commercially reasonable
efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such
registration statement under such other securities laws or blue sky laws of
such jurisdictions as any Selling Holder and any underwriter of the securities
being sold by such Selling Holder shall reasonably request, and take any other
action which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Selling
Holder and underwriter to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of
the Registrable Securities owned by such Selling Holder, except that the
Company shall not


                                      11
<PAGE>


for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to do business as a
foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not but for the
requirements of this subdivision (iv) be obligated to be so qualified, to
subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction or to file a general
consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction;

                                    (v)      use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities
exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and,
if no such securities are so listed, use commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such Registrable Securities to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange,
the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Market ("Nasdaq");

                                    (vi)     use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration
statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies
or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Selling Holder(s) thereof to
consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

                                    (vii)    in connection with an underwritten
offering, obtain for each Selling Holder and underwriter:

                                             (1)      an opinion of counsel for
         the Company, covering the matters customarily covered in opinions
         requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be
         reasonably requested by such Selling Holder and underwriters, and

                                             (2)      a "comfort" letter (or,
         in the case of any such Person which does not satisfy the conditions
         for receipt of a "comfort" letter specified in Statement on Auditing
         Standards No. 72, an "agreed upon procedures" letter) signed by the
         independent public accountants who have certified the Company's
         financial statements included in such registration statement;

                                    (viii)   promptly notify, in writing, each
Selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, of the following events:

                                             (1)      the filing of the
         registration statement, the prospectus or any prospectus supplement
         related thereto or post-effective amendment to the registration
         statement, and, with respect to the registration statement or any
         post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective;

                                             (2)      any request by the
         Commission for amendments or supplements to the registration statement
         or the prospectus or for additional information;


                                      12
<PAGE>


                                             (3)      the issuance by the
         Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings by any
         Person for that purpose; and

                                             (4)      the receipt by the
         Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
         qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the
         securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction or the initiation or
         threat of any proceeding for such purpose;

                                    (ix)     notify each Selling Holder, at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a
result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as
then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then
existing, and, at the request of any such seller, promptly prepare and furnish
to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment
of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the
purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading
in the light of the circumstances then existing;

                                    (x)      make every reasonable effort to
obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the
registration statement;

                                    (xi)     otherwise use commercially
reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the
Commission, and make available to Selling Holders, as soon as reasonably
practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve
months, but not more than eighteen months, beginning with the first day of the
Company's first full quarter after the effective date of such registration
statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder;

                                    (xii)    use its reasonable best efforts to
assist Stockholders who made a request of the Company to provide for a third
party "market maker" for the Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required to serve as such "market maker"; and

                                    (xiii)   have appropriate officers of the
Company prepare and make presentations at any "road shows" and before analysts
and rating agencies, as the case may be, take other actions to obtain ratings
for any Registrable Securities (if they are eligible to be rated) and otherwise
use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate as reasonably requested by the
underwriters in the offering, marketing or selling of the Registrable
Securities.

                  The Company may require each Selling Holder and each
underwriter, if any, to furnish the Company in writing such information
regarding each Selling Holder or


                                      13
<PAGE>


underwriter and the distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company
may from time to time reasonably request to complete or amend the information
required by the registration statement.

                           (b)      Underwriting. Without limiting any of the
foregoing, in the event that the offering of Registrable Securities is to be
made by or through an underwriter, the Company shall enter into an underwriting
agreement with a managing underwriter or underwriters containing
representations, warranties, indemnities and agreements customarily included
(but not inconsistent with the agreements contained herein) by an issuer of
common stock in underwriting agreements with respect to offerings of common
stock for the account of, or on behalf of, such issuers. In connection with any
offering of Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement, the
Company shall (i) furnish to the underwriter, if any (or, if no underwriter,
the sellers of such Registrable Securities), unlegended certificates
representing ownership of the Registrable Securities being sold, in such
denominations as requested and (ii) instruct any transfer agent and registrar
of the Registrable Securities to release any stop transfer order with respect
thereto.

                           (c)      Return of Prospectuses. Each Selling Holder
agrees that upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any
event of the kind described in Section 2.6(a)(ix), such Selling Holder shall
forthwith discontinue such Selling Holder 's disposition of Registrable
Securities pursuant to the applicable registration statement and prospectus
relating thereto until such Selling Holder 's receipt of the copies of the
supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 2.6(a)(ix) and, if
so directed by the Company, deliver to the Company, at the Company's expense,
all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such Selling Holder 's
possession of the prospectus current at the time of receipt of such notice
relating to such Registrable Securities. In the event the Company shall give
such notice, any applicable 60 day period during which such registration
statement must remain effective pursuant to this Agreement shall be extended by
the number of days during the period from the date of giving of a notice
regarding the happening of an event of the kind described in Section 2.6(a)(ix)
to the date when all such Selling Holders shall receive such a supplemented or
amended prospectus and such prospectus shall have been filed with the
Commission.

                  Section 2.7       Registration Expenses. All expenses
incident to the Company's performance of, or compliance with, its obligations
under this Agreement including, without limitation, all registration and filing
fees, all fees and expenses of compliance with securities and "blue sky" laws,
all printing and copying expenses, all messenger and delivery expenses, all
fees and expenses of the Company's independent certified public accountants and
counsel (including, without limitation, with respect to "comfort" letters and
opinions) (collectively, the "Registration Expenses") shall be borne by the
Company. The Company will pay its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties, the expense of any annual audit and the expense of
any liability insurance) (collectively, "Internal Expenses") and the expenses
and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each securities
exchange and included in each established over-the-counter market on which
similar securities issued by the Company are then


                                      14

listed or traded. Each Selling Holder shall pay its portion of all underwriting
discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any, relating to the sale of
such Selling Holder 's Registrable Securities pursuant to any registration.

                  Section 2.8       Indemnification.

                           (a)      By the Company. The Company agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each
Selling Holder, its officers, directors, employees, managers, partners and
agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such Selling Holder or such
other indemnified Person from and against all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, the "Losses") caused
by, resulting from or relating to any untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus
or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission of a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
except insofar as the same are caused by any information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein or by such
Selling Holder 's failure to deliver a copy of a current prospectus or any
amendments or supplements thereto (which does not contain any such material
misstatements or omissions) after the Company has furnished such holder with a
sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten
offering and without limiting any of the Company's other obligations under this
Agreement, the Company shall also indemnify such underwriters, their officers,
directors, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act)
such underwriters or such other indemnified Person to the same extent as
provided above with respect to the indemnification (and exceptions thereto) of
the holders of Registrable Securities being sold.

                           (b)      By the Selling Holders. In connection with
any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is
participating, each such Selling Holder will furnish to the Company in writing
information regarding such Selling Holder's ownership of Registrable Securities
and its intended method of distribution thereof and, to the extent permitted by
law, shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify the Company, its directors,
officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) the
Company or such other indemnified Person against all Losses caused by any
untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement,
prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement
thereto or any omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is caused by and contained in such information so
furnished in writing by such Selling Holder expressly for use therein;
provided, however, that each Selling Holder 's obligation to indemnify the
Company hereunder shall, to the extent more than one Selling Holder is subject
to the same indemnification obligation, be apportioned between each Selling
Holder based upon the


                                      15
<PAGE>


net amount received by each Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable
Securities, as compared to the total net amount received by all of the Selling
Holders of Registrable Securities sold pursuant to such registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Selling Holder shall be liable to the Company
for amounts in excess of the lesser of (i) such apportionment and (ii) the
amount received by such holder in the offering giving rise to such liability.

                           (c)      Notice. Any Person entitled to
indemnification hereunder shall give prompt written notice to the indemnifying
party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification; provided,
however, the failure to give such notice shall not release the indemnifying
party from its obligation, except to the extent that the indemnifying party has
been materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such notice on a timely
basis.

                           (d)      Defense of Actions. In any case in which
any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an
indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly
with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not (so
long as it shall continue to have the right to defend, contest, litigate and
settle the matter in question in accordance with this paragraph) be liable to
such indemnified party hereunder for any legal or other expense subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other
than reasonable costs of investigation, supervision and monitoring (unless (i)
such indemnified party reasonably objects to such assumption on the grounds
that there may be defenses available to it which are different from or in
addition to the defenses available to such indemnifying party or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall have failed within a reasonable period of time to
assume such defense and the indemnified party is or is reasonably likely to be
prejudiced by such delay, in either event the indemnified party shall be
promptly reimbursed by the indemnifying party for the expenses incurred in
connection with retaining separate legal counsel). An indemnifying party shall
not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its
consent. The indemnifying party shall lose its right to defend, contest,
litigate and settle a matter if it shall fail to diligently contest such matter
(except to the extent settled in accordance with the next following sentence).
No matter shall be settled by an indemnifying party without the consent of the
indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it being
understood that the indemnified party shall not be deemed to be unreasonable in
withholding its consent if the proposed settlement imposes any obligation on
the indemnified party other than the payment of money).

                           (e)      Survival. The indemnification provided for
under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any
investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified Person and will survive
the transfer of the Registrable Securities and the termination of this
Agreement.


                                      16
<PAGE>


                           (f)      Contribution. If recovery is not available
under the foregoing indemnification provisions for any reason or reasons other
than as specified therein, any Person who would otherwise be entitled to
indemnification by the terms thereof shall nevertheless be entitled to
contribution with respect to any Losses with respect to which such Person would
be entitled to such indemnification but for such reason or reasons. In
determining the amount of contribution to which the respective Persons are
entitled, there shall be considered the Persons' relative knowledge and access
to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was
asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and
other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. It is
hereby agreed that it would not necessarily be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Investor shall be required to make a contribution in excess of
the net amount received by such holder from its sale of Registrable Securities
in connection with the offering that gave rise to the contribution obligation.

                           (g)      Not less than five Business Days before the
expected filing date of each registration statement pursuant to this Agreement,
the Company shall notify each Stockholder who has timely provided the requisite
notice hereunder entitling the Stockholder to register Registrable Securities
in such registration statement of the information, documents and instruments
from such Stockholder that the Company or any underwriter reasonably requests
in connection with such registration statement, including, but not limited to a
questionnaire, custody agreement, power of attorney, lock-up letter and
underwriting agreement (the "Requested Information"). If the Company has not
received, on or before the second day before the expected filing date, the
Requested Information from such Stockholder, the Company may file the
Registration Statement without including Registrable Securities of such
Stockholder. The failure to so include in any registration statement the
Registrable Securities of a Stockholder (with regard to that registration
statement) shall not in and of itself result in any liability on the part of
the Company to such Stockholder.


                                  ARTICLE III

                               PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS

                  Section 3.1       Preemptive Rights.

                           (a)      Each of the Stockholders shall, until the
fifth anniversary of the Closing Date but only for so long as such Stockholder
owns at least 10% of the outstanding Registrable Securities (each a "Qualified
Stockholder"), have the right to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock
(including without limitation, warrants, options or convertible stock or
debt)(any such securities so issued, "New Securities"), in a pro-rata amount
and on the same terms and conditions as are called for by each future issuance
(or as nearly as may be practicable in the event the Qualified Stockholders


                                      17
<PAGE>


cannot comply with such terms and conditions), in any issuance of securities by
the Company other than (i) issuances of securities described in Section 5.8 of
the Securities Purchase Agreement (including without limitation pursuant to the
Employee Stock Option Plan) or other securities issued to an employee, director
or bona fide consultant to the Company as compensation pursuant to a plan or
agreement that is approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares
of Common Stock, (ii) securities issued as consideration for a bona fide
business combination or acquisition of securities or other property, or (iii)
securities issued upon a conversion of or in exchange for securities issued by
the Company in full compliance with the preemptive rights of the Stockholders
set forth in this Section 3.1; provided, that such conversion occurred at the
sole option of the holder. For the purposes of this Section 3.1, the term
"pro-rata amount" shall mean such amount as will allow each Qualified
Stockholder to maintain its then existing percentage ownership of the Common
Stock on a fully diluted basis.

                           (b)      The Company shall give each Qualified
Stockholder notice (an "Issuance Notice") of any proposed issuance by the
Company of any New Securities at least 10 days prior to the proposed issuance
date. The Issuance Notice shall specify the price at which such New Securities
are to be issued and the other material terms of the issuance. A Qualified
Stockholder may exercise its rights under this Section 3.1 by delivering notice
of its election to purchase New Securities to the Company within five Business
Days of receipt of the Issuance Notice. A delivery of such notice (which notice
shall specify the number (or amount) of shares of New Securities to be
purchased by the Stockholder submitting such notice, up to such Qualified
Stockholder's pro rata amount) by such Qualified Stockholder shall constitute a
binding agreement of such Stockholder to purchase, at the price and on the
terms specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of shares (or amount) of New
Securities specified in such Stockholder's notice. If, at the termination of
such five day-period, any Qualified Stockholder shall not have exercised its
rights to purchase any of such Stockholder's pro rata amount of such New
Securities, such Qualified Stockholder shall be deemed to have waived all of
its rights under this Section 3.1 with respect to the purchase of such New
Securities.

                           (c)      The Company shall have 90 days from the
date of the Issuance Notice to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all
of such New Securities that the Qualified Stockholders have elected not to
purchase at the price and upon terms that are not materially less favorable to
the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice, provided, that, if
such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such 90 day period shall be
extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals
have been received, but in no event later than 180 days from the date of the
Issuance Notice. At the consummation of such issuance, the Company shall issue
certificates representing the New Securities to be purchased by each
Stockholder exercising preemptive rights pursuant to this Section 3.1
registered in the name of such Stockholder, against payment by such Stockholder
of the purchase price for such New Securities. If the Company proposes to issue
any class of New Securities after the time periods set forth herein, it shall
again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.1.

                                MONITORING FEES

                  Section 4.1       Monitoring Fees. The Company shall pay to
Fortress and Greenhill (on a pro-rata basis based on its initial share of the
Investment) an annual monitoring fee of $2.0 million (the "Monitoring Fee"), to
be paid quarterly in advance or as soon thereafter as permitted in accordance
with the next sentence hereof, for the period from the Closing Date until the
first anniversary thereof. In no event shall such monitoring fee be paid within
45 days before or after any dividend payment by the Company. The Monitoring Fee
shall constitute compensation for consulting and management advisory services
and analysis, as reasonably requested by the Company and provided by the
Investors with respect to (i) financial matters (including the raising of debt
or equity capital in private or public transactions), (ii) transaction
structures, (iii) acquisitions and dispositions of assets and subsidiaries,
(iv) mergers and other strategic alliances and decisions, and (v) the Company's
personnel, systems, and budgets. The Monitoring Fee and the provision of
services in connection therewith shall be renewable on an annual basis by the
vote of a majority of the Board that includes the vote of at least one director
who is not a Board designee of either Fortress or Greenhill or an Affiliate or
Associate thereof or a member of the Company's management and who is not,
directly or indirectly, receiving compensation for such vote.


                                   ARTICLE V

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

                  Section 5.1       Board.

                           (a)      For so long as this Agreement is in effect,
each of the Stockholders shall vote all of the Voting Stock of the Company
owned or held of record by such Stockholder and take all other necessary action
so as to elect to the Board, and to continue in office, (i) the directors
designated by the Investors as set forth in Section 5.10 of the Securities
Purchase Agreement from immediately after the Closing until the first annual
meeting of shareholders of the Company following consummation of the Bankruptcy
Plan, which will be no earlier than May 1, 2003, and (ii) not more than nine
directors thereafter, which shall include those directors designated by the
Investors as set forth in Section 5.10 of the Securities Purchase Agreement.
The Company shall take all necessary or desirable action within its control to
give effect to the provisions of this Article V.

                           (b)      Upon the Closing, Fortress shall be
entitled to designate three directors and Greenhill shall be entitled to
designate two directors who will serve on the Board until the first annual
meeting of shareholders of the Company and whose names and titles are set forth
on Annex A hereto. Subsequently, so long as Fortress and


                                      19
<PAGE>


Greenhill each remain an Investor under this Agreement, at the time of any
election of directors:

                                    (i)      in the case that the number of
directors that Fortress and Greenhill are entitled to designate pursuant to
Section 5.10 of the Securities Purchase Agreement is an even number, each of
Fortress and Greenhill shall be entitled to appoint the number of directors
equal to one half of such even number; and

                                    (ii)     in the case that the number of
directors that Fortress and Greenhill are entitled to designate pursuant to
Section 5.10 of the Securities Purchase Agreement is an odd number, the
Investor holding the majority of the Common Stock held by Fortress and
Greenhill collectively shall be entitled to appoint the number of directors
equal to one half of the next highest whole integer from such odd number and
the other Investor shall be entitled to elect the remaining number of
directors; provided, however, that in the event that neither Fortress nor
Greenhill is the sole Largest Holder, they will each be entitled to appoint the
number of directors equal to one half of the next lowest whole integer from
such odd number and together be entitled to appoint an additional director
mutually agreed upon by both Investors.

                           (c)      If an Investor notifies the other
Stockholders of its desire to remove, with or without cause, any director
previously designated by it, each Stockholder shall vote all of the shares of
Voting Stock of the Company owned or held by such Stockholder and take all
other necessary actions to cause the removal of any director designated by such
Investor pursuant to Section 5.1(a).

                           (d)      In the event that any designee of any
Investor shall for any reason cease to serve as a member of the Board during
his term of office, the resulting vacancy on the Board will be filled by an
individual designated by such Investor.

                  Section 5.2       Actions. In addition to any other approval
requirements, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
subsidiaries to, take any of the following actions after the date hereof
without first obtaining the unanimous approval of Fortress and Greenhill:

                           (a)      the approval and any modification of the
Company's annual budget;

                           (b)      the hiring or termination of, and the
entering into or modification of any compensation arrangements or employment
agreement with an officer holding or prospectively holding either the chief
executive officer, the chief financial officer or the chief operating officer
positions;

                           (c)      the sale, exchange, license or other
disposition of any of its real properties or other assets, other than in the
ordinary course of business or as contemplated in the annual budget approved in
accordance with 5.2(a);


                                      20
<PAGE>


                           (d)      entering into any new joint ventures or
similar projects, other than in the ordinary course of business or as
contemplated in the annual budget approved in accordance with 5.2(a);

                           (e)      entering into any new development projects,
other than in the ordinary course of business or as contemplated in the annual
budget approved in accordance with 5.2(a);

                           (f)      the mortgage of any of its real properties
or other assets, other than in the ordinary course of business or as set forth
in the annual budget approved in accordance with Section 5.2(a); and

                           (g)      entering into new capital or take out
commitments or increase in any existing capital or take out commitments, other
than as set forth in the annual budget approved in accordance with Section
5.2(a).

                  Any transactions between the Company and an Investor or an
Affiliate of an Investor shall, in addition to any other approval requirements,
require the approval of a majority of the directors other than directors
appointed by such Investor.


                                  ARTICLE VI

                            RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER

                  Section 6.1       Restrictions on Transfer. Each Stockholder
agrees that it shall Transfer Registrable Securities only in compliance with,
and to the extent permitted by, Articles VI and VII and Sections 8.18 and 8.19.

                  Section 6.2       Exceptions to Restrictions. No Stockholder
shall Transfer any Registrable Securities for a period of two years following
the date of this Agreement, except as follows:

                           (a)      any Transfer made with the consent of each
of Fortress and Greenhill, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;

                           (b)      any Transfer among Fortress, Greenhill and
their respective Permitted Transferees;

                           (c)      any Transfer from any Stockholder to one or
more of its respective Permitted Transferees;

                           (d)      any Transfer of Registrable Securities in
accordance with Article VII hereof provided that, for the avoidance of doubt,
the exception referred to in this sub-section (d) shall not apply to the
Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Proposed Transfer itself;


                                      21
<PAGE>


                           (e)      any bona fide pledge of the Registrable
Securities to a bank, financial institution or other lender;

                           (f)      any transfer pursuant to Rule 144; or

                           (g)      any transfer pursuant to a public offering.

                  The exceptions in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) above are
subject to the condition that any transferee pursuant to such sub-sections
which is a Permitted Transferee, except with respect to a Distribution in Kind,
and any other transferee pursuant to such sub-section which upon completion of
such transfer will own at least 5% of the then outstanding shares of
Registrable Securities (each such transferee (other than a Permitted
Transferee) a "Third Party Transferee"), execute (or, in the case of clause (e)
above, that the pledging Stockholder use its reasonable efforts to cause the
pledgee to execute prior to any foreclosure of the shares so pledged) the
agreement referred to in Section 6.3. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
applied to the shares of Common Stock acquired by any Permitted Transferee or
Third Party Transferee of a Stockholder in the same manner and to the same
extent as such provisions were applicable to such shares of Common Stock in the
hands of such Stockholder. Any reference in this Agreement to the Stockholders
shall be deemed to include each Stockholder and its respective Permitted
Transferees and Third Party Transferees.

                  Each Stockholder agrees that it will not, directly or
indirectly, transfer any shares of Common Stock unless such transfer is made
(i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act
and is qualified under applicable state securities or blue sky laws or (ii)
without registration under the Securities Act and qualification under
applicable state securities or blue sky laws, as a result of the availability
of an exemption from registration and qualification under such laws, and such
Stockholder shall have furnished to the other Stockholders, with a copy to the
Company, a certificate to that effect; provided, however, that no certificate
or opinion of counsel is required to be delivered in connection with a transfer
of shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 7.1 or 7.2.

                  Section 6.3       Binding Effect on Transferees. Prior to the
Transfer by a Stockholder of Registrable Securities to a Permitted Transferee
(other than a Distribution in Kind) or a Third Party Transferee, the
transferring Stockholder shall cause the transferee to execute (or, in the case
of an execution of a pledge, the pledging Stockholder shall use its reasonable
efforts to cause the pledgee to execute prior to any foreclosure of the shares
so pledged) an agreement on the same terms and conditions set forth herein,
providing that such transferee shall be bound by and shall fully comply with
the terms of this Agreement.

                  Section 6.4       Notifications Regarding Transfers. To the
extent that any Stockholder proposes a Transfer pursuant to Section 6.2, such
Stockholder shall provide notice ("Transfer Notification") to each of Fortress
and Greenhill at least ten Business Days prior to the proposed transfer date of
the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be Transferred. In the event
that a proposed Transfer requires the approval


                                      22
<PAGE>


of Fortress and Greenhill pursuant to Section 6.2(a), Fortress and Greenhill
shall notify such Stockholder of whether the Transfer has been approved within
eight Business Days of receipt of a Transfer Notification; provided, however,
that Fortress and Greenhill shall be deemed to have approved such proposed
Transfer if they fail to notify such Stockholder by such date.

                  Section 6.5       Additional Purchases. Any Registrable
Securities, and shares of Common Stock generally, owned by a Stockholder on or
after the date of this Agreement shall be subject to terms and conditions of
this Agreement, including, without limitation Articles V, VI and VII and
Sections 8.18 and 8.19, to the extent applicable.


                                  ARTICLE VII

           TAG-ALONG RIGHTS; DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS; RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

                  Section 7.1       Tag-Along Rights.

                           (a)      Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement
to the contrary, except in the case of (i) Transfers by a Stockholder to a
Permitted Transferee of such Stockholder, (ii) Transfers among Fortress,
Greenhill and their respective Permitted Transferees, (iii) Transfers where
rights are exercised pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.4 and (iii) Transfers
pursuant to Article II or in connection with a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act, each Stockholder shall refrain from effecting any Transfer
of Registrable Securities (a "Tag-Along Sale") unless, prior to the
consummation thereof, the other Stockholders who shall own at least the
Registrable Amount shall have been afforded the opportunity to join in such
Transfer on a pro rata basis, as provided in this Section 4.1 (each such
Stockholder, a "Tag-Along Person").

                           (b)      Prior to consummation of such proposed
Transfer, the Stockholder proposing a transfer (the "Tag-Along Seller") shall
cause the person or group that proposes to acquire such shares (the "Proposed
Purchaser") to offer in writing (the "Tag-Along Offer") to purchase Registrable
Securities owned by the Tag-Along Person(s), such that the number of
Registrable Securities so offered to be purchased from the Tag-Along Person
shall be equal to the product obtained by multiplying the aggregate number of
Registrable Securities proposed to be purchased by the Proposed Purchaser by
such Tag-Along Person's Pro Rata Portion. In addition, the Tag-Along Offer
shall set forth the consideration for which the Tag-Along Sale is proposed to
be made and all other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale. If
the Tag-Along Offer is accepted by any Tag-Along Person, then the number of
Registrable Securities to be sold to the Proposed Purchaser by the Tag-Along
Seller shall be reduced by the aggregate number of Registrable Securities to be
purchased by the Proposed Purchaser from such Tag-Along Person(s) pursuant
thereto. The purchase from the Tag-Along Person(s) shall be made on the same
terms and conditions (including timing of receipt of consideration and choice
of consideration, if any) as the Proposed Purchaser shall have offered to
purchase Registrable Securities to be sold by the Tag-Along Seller.

                           (c)      The Tag-Along Person(s) shall have five
Business Days from the date of receipt of the Tag-Along Offer (the "Tag-Along
Notice Period") during which to accept such Tag-Along Offer by written notice
to the Tag-Along Seller or a representative of the Tag-Along Seller designated
in the Tag-Along Offer, and the closing of such purchase shall occur within ten
days after such acceptance by all Tag-Along Person(s) or the expiration of the
Tag-Along Notice Period, which ever is sooner, or at such other time as the
Tag-Along Person(s), the Tag-Along Seller and the Proposed Purchaser may agree;
provided, however, that if any of the transactions contemplated by the
Tag-Along Offer are subject to regulatory approval such ten day period shall be
extended until the expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals
have been received, but in no event later than 180 days after delivery of the
Tag-Along Offer. Delivery of an acceptance of the Tag-Along Offer shall be
accompanied by the certificate(s) representing the Registrable Securities to be
included in the Tag-Along Sale, duly endorsed, together with all other
documents required to be executed in connection with such Tag-Along Sale, or if
such delivery is not permitted by applicable law, an unconditional agreement to
deliver such certificates pursuant to this Section 7.1 at the closing for such
Tag-Along Sale against delivery to such Stockholder of the consideration
therefor.

                           (d)      Any Tag-Along Person which fails to accept
the purchase offer within the Tag-Along Notice Period shall be deemed to have
waived its rights under Section 7.1 with respect to the transfer of its
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Tag-Along Sale.

                           (e)      Concurrently with the consummation of the
Tag-Along Sale, the Tag-Along Seller shall give notice thereof to the Tag-Along
Persons, shall remit to each of the Tag-Along Persons the total consideration
for the Registrable Securities of such Tag-Along Person transferred pursuant
thereto, with the cash portion of the purchase price paid by bank or certified
check and any non-cash portion to be delivered as promptly as possible and
promptly after the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, furnish such other
evidence of the completion and time of completion of such transfer and the
terms thereof as may be reasonably requested by the Tag-Along Persons.

                           (f)      Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 7.1, there shall be no liability on the part of the Tag-Along Seller to
the Tag-Along Persons (other than the obligation to return any certificates
evidencing Registrable Securities and any other documents required to be
executed in connection with such Tag-Along Sale) if the Tag-Along Sale is not
consummated for whatever reason. Whether to effect a Tag-Along Sale is in the
sole and absolute discretion of the Tag-Along Seller.

                  Section 7.2       Drag-Along Rights.

                           (a)      If the Largest Holder (the "Drag-Along
Seller") proposes a Transfer of all Registrable Securities held by it,
including in connection with a sale or exchange, whether directly or pursuant
to a merger, consolidation or otherwise (a "Drag-Along Sale"), such Drag-Along
Seller may require all other Stockholders (the "Drag-Along Stockholders") to
sell all Registrable Securities ("Drag-Along Rights") then held


                                      24
<PAGE>


by such Stockholder, for the same consideration and otherwise on the same terms
and conditions (including timing of receipt of consideration and choice of
consideration, if any) as the sale by such Drag-Along Seller.

                           (b)      The Drag-Along Seller shall provide written
notice of such Drag-Along Sale to the Drag-Along Stockholders (a "Drag-Along
Notice") not later than the 15th day prior to the proposed Drag-Along Sale. The
Drag-Along Notice shall identify the transferee, the consideration for which a
transfer is proposed to be made (the "Drag-Along Sale Price") and all other
material terms and conditions of the Drag-Along Sale. Subject to Section 7.2(d)
and Section 7.3, each Drag-Along Stockholder shall be required to participate
in the Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in the Drag-Along
Notice and to tender all its Registrable Securities as set forth below. The
price(s) payable in such transfer shall be the Drag-Along Sale Price. Not later
than the tenth Business Day following the date of the Drag-Along Notice (the
"Drag-Along Notice Period"), each of the Stockholders shall deliver to a
representative of the Drag-Along Seller designated in the Drag-Along Notice
certificates representing all the Registrable Securities beneficially owned and
held by such Stockholder, duly endorsed, together with all other documents
required to be executed in connection with such Drag-Along Sale, or if such
delivery is not permitted by applicable law, an unconditional agreement to
deliver such certificates pursuant to this Section 7.2 at the closing for such
Drag-Along Sale against delivery to such Stockholder of the consideration
therefor.

                           (c)      The Drag-Along Seller shall have a period
of 90 days from the date of receipt of the Drag-Along Notice to consummate the
Drag-Along Sale on the terms and conditions set forth in such Drag-Along
Notice; provided, that if such Drag-Along Sale is subject to regulatory
approval, such 90 day period shall be extended until the expiration of five
Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event
later than 180 days following the delivery of the Drag-Along Notice. If the
Drag-Along Sale shall not have been consummated during such period, the
Drag-Along Seller shall return to each of the Stockholders all certificates or
other evidence of title and ownership representing Registrable Securities that
such Stockholders delivered for transfer pursuant hereto, together with any
documents in the possession of the Drag-Along Seller executed by the other
Stockholders in connection with such proposed Transfer, and all the
restrictions on transfer contained in this Agreement or otherwise applicable at
such time with respect to Registrable Securities owned by the Stockholders
shall again be in effect.

                           (d)      Concurrently with the consummation of the
Transfer of shares pursuant to this Section 7.2, the Drag-Along Seller shall
give notice thereof to all Stockholders, shall remit to each of the
Stockholders who have surrendered their certificates or other evidence of title
and ownership the total consideration (with the cash portion of the purchase
price paid by bank or certified check and any non-cash portion to be delivered
as promptly as possible and promptly after the consummation of such Drag-Along
Sale) for the Registrable Securities transferred pursuant hereto and promptly
after consummation of the Drag-Along Sale shall furnish such other evidence of
the completion and time of completion of such transfer and the terms thereof as
may be reasonably requested by such Stockholders.

                  Section 7.3       Additional Conditions to Tag-Along Sales and
Drag-Along Sales. Notwithstanding anything contained in Sections 7.1 or 7.2, the
rights and obligations of the Tag-Along Person or the Drag-Along Stockholders
(each an "Other Stockholder") to participate in a Tag-Along Sale pursuant to
Section 7.1 or a Drag-Along Sale pursuant to Section 7.2, are subject to the
following conditions:

                           (a)      no Other Stockholder shall be obligated to
pay any expenses incurred in connection with any unconsummated Tag-Along Sale or
any consummated or unconsummated Drag-Along Sale, and each Tag-Along Person
shall be obligated to pay only its pro rata share (based on the number of shares
of Common Stock (including for such purposes the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon exercise of Registrable Securities) transferred) of expenses incurred in
connection with a consummated Tag-Along Sale to the extent such expenses are
incurred for the benefit of all Stockholders and are not otherwise paid by the
Company or another Person; and

                           (b)      each Other Stockholder shall (i) make such
representations, warranties and covenants and enter into such definitive
agreements as are customary for transactions of the nature of the proposed
Transfer; provided that no Other Stockholder shall be required to provide any
representations or indemnities in connection with any Tag-Along Sale or
Drag-Along Sale other than representations and indemnities concerning such Other
Stockholder's title to the Registrable Securities free and clear of any
encumbrances, including actual or pending litigation, and its existence, power
and due authorization to enter into and consummate the Transfer without
contravention of any law or material agreement; provided further that any such
indemnity shall (as to such Other Stockholders) be expressly stated to be
several but not joint, (ii) benefit from all of the same provisions of the
definitive agreements as the Tag-Along Seller or Drag-Along Seller, as the case
may be, and (iii) be required to bear its proportionate share of any escrows,
holdbacks or adjustments in purchase price.

                  Section 7.4       Rights of First Offer.

                           (a)      If any Stockholder (a "Proposing
Stockholder") proposes to transfer (each, a "Proposed Transfer") any of its
Registrable Securities (the "Offered Securities") to any Person, other than to a
Permitted Transferee or in a public offering or in a transfer in reliance on
Rule 144 (each, a "Third Party"), such Stockholder shall submit a written notice
(a "Notice of Proposed Transfer") to the other Stockholders holding more than
10% of the issued and outstanding Registrable Securities at that time (the
"Remaining Stockholders") describing the material terms and conditions of the
Proposed Transfer in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the
proposed purchase price (the "Offer Price").

                           (b)      Upon receipt of the Notice of Proposed
Transfer, each of the Remaining Stockholders shall have the primary right, but
not the obligation, for a period of three Business Days following receipt of the
Notice of Proposed Transfer (the "Primary Option Period"), to elect to purchase
at the Offer Price a portion of the Offered Securities equal to such Remaining
Stockholder's Pro Rata Portion (provided that, for the purposes of this Section
7.4(b), the denominator of the Pro Rata Portion shall be net of


                                       26
<PAGE>

the Registrable Securities held by the Proposing Stockholder), on the same terms
and conditions as are set forth in the Notice of Proposed Transfer. Within two
Business Days of the end of the Primary Option Period, the Proposing Stockholder
shall notify the Remaining Stockholders who exercised their rights during the
Primary Option Period (the "Second Round Notice") whether the Remaining
Stockholders have accepted all of the Offered Securities and, if not, shall set
forth the remaining number of shares of Offered Securities (the "Remaining
Securities"). Each Remaining Stockholder exercising its primary right shall also
have a secondary right, on the same terms as are set forth in the Notice of
Proposed Transfer, for a period of three Business Days from the receipt of the
Second Round Notice (the "Secondary Option Period"), to purchase any or all of
the Remaining Securities. If, however, there is more than one Remaining
Stockholder desiring to exercise secondary rights to purchase the Remaining
Securities and such Remaining Stockholders do not agree on the number of such
Remaining Securities to be purchased by each such Remaining Stockholder, then
each such Remaining Stockholder shall be entitled to purchase that proportion of
the Remaining Securities equal to the number of Registrable Securities owned by
such Remaining Stockholder divided by the total of all Registrable Securities
held by all of the Stockholders who exercised their rights during the Primary
Option Period. The primary and secondary rights of the Remaining Stockholders
set forth herein are exercisable in each case by delivery of a notice to the
Proposing Stockholder within the time periods specified herein.

                           (c)      In the event that the Remaining Stockholders
exercise their rights to purchase all but not less than all of the Offered
Securities in accordance with Section 7.3(b), then the Proposing Stockholder
must sell the Offered Securities to the Remaining Stockholders. The Proposing
Stockholder shall notify such Remaining Stockholders of the portion of Offered
Securities to be sold to each such Remaining Stockholder (the "Allocation
Notice") within two Business Days of the end of the Secondary Option Period. The
Proposing Stockholder shall, and hereby covenants to, transfer the Offered
Securities to such Remaining Stockholders free and clear of any and all liens,
mortgages, pledges, security interests or other restrictions or encumbrances
against payment of the Offer Price. Each Remaining Stockholder which has
accepted Offered Securities shall purchase and pay, by bank of certified check
(in immediately available funds), for the Offered Securities set forth in the
Allocation Notice within 20 Business Days after the date of receipt of the
Allocation Notice; provided that if the Transfer of such Offered Securities is
subject to any prior regulatory approval, subject to Section 7.4(d), the time
period during which such transfer may be consummated shall be extended until the
expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals have been received.

                           (d)      Upon the earlier to occur of (i) full
rejection of the Offered Stock by all Remaining Stockholders, (ii) the
expiration of the Primary Option Period and the Secondary Option Period without
Remaining Stockholders electing to purchase all of the Offered Stock following
the proper delivery of the Notice of Proposed Transfer and the Second Round
Notice or (iii) the failure to obtain any required consent or regulatory
approval for the purchase of all of the Offered Stock by the Remaining
Stockholders within 90 days of full acceptance of the Offered Stock, the Seller
shall have a 60 day period during which to effect a transfer of any or all of
the Offered Stock, subject to


                                       27
<PAGE>

Article VII and Section 7.1 hereof, on substantially the same or more favorable
(as to the Seller) terms and conditions as were set forth in the Offer Notice at
a price not less than 95% of the Offer Price, provided that, if the Transfer is
subject to regulatory approval, such 60 day period shall be extended until the
expiration of five Business Days after all such approvals shall have been
received, but in no event longer than 180 days following the Notice of Proposed
Transfer. If the Proposing Stockholder does not consummate the transfer of the
Offered Stock in accordance with the foregoing time limitations, then the right
of the Proposing Stockholder to effect the transfer of such Offered Stock
pursuant to Section 7.4 shall terminate and the Proposing Stockholder shall
again comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 7.4 with respect to
any proposed transfer of Common Stock to a Third Party.

                           (e)      If any Stockholder does not purchase any of
the Offered Stock under Section 7.3 but wishes to sell shares of Common Stock
under Section 7.1 in the event that the Proposing Stockholder has made a
Tag-Along Offer, such Stockholder must deliver an acceptance of a Tag-Along
Offer pursuant to Section 7.1(b) simultaneously with declining such
Stockholder's right to purchase under this Section 7.3.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

subject matter contained herein, and there are no restrictions, promises,
representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or undertakings with respect
to the subject matter hereof, other than those expressly set forth or referred
to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings
between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

                  Section 8.3       Further Actions; Cooperation. Each of the
Stockholders agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken,
all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the
other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Stockholders (i) acknowledges that the
Stockholders will prepare and file with the Commission filings under the
Exchange Act, including under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, relating to
their beneficial ownership of the Common Stock and (ii) agrees to use its
reasonable efforts to assist and cooperate with the other parties in promptly
preparing, reviewing and executing any such filings under the Exchange Act,
including any amendments thereto.

                  Section 8.4       Termination of Certain Rights. The rights
and obligations hereunder of each Stockholder will terminate with respect to
such Stockholder at such time when it no longer meets the definition of a
Stockholder under this Agreement; provided, however, that the provisions of
Section 2.8, the rights of any Investor with respect to breach of any provision
hereof, and any obligation accrued as of the date of termination shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

                  Section 8.5       Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will
file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the

(or, if it is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of
any holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information
so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act), and it will take such further reasonable action, to the extent required
from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without
registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from
time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
Commission. Upon the reasonable request of any holder of Registrable Securities,

complied with such information and filing requirements.

                  Section 8.14      Injunctive Relief. The Stockholders

restraining order or similar equitable relief shall be available in connection
with a violation of any restriction on the Transfer of Registrable Securities,

Registrable Securities, and does not result in an enjoinder or rescission of an
otherwise effective transfer, and that any relief beyond such equitable relief
shall consist only of monetary damages. The Stockholders acknowledge that the
preceding sentence is intended to ensure compliance with the requirement of

substitution of, such Registrable Securities and shall be appropriately adjusted

at least 5% of the issued and outstanding Registrable Securities, the terms of
this Agreement (except for Section 2.8, Section 8.5 and this Section 8.17),

under the Securities Act, then the Company, upon the written request of the
holder thereof, shall issue to such holder a new certificate evidencing such
shares of Common Stock without the first sentence of the legend set forth above
endorsed thereon. If any shares of Common Stock cease to be subject to any and
all restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement, the Company, upon the
request of the written holder thereof, shall issue to such holder a new
certificate evidencing such shares of Common Stock without the second sentence
of the legend set forth above endorsed thereon.

                  Section 8.19      Record of Registrable Securities Ownership.
In order to properly give effect to the provisions of this Agreement, the
Company shall, and shall cause any transfer agent to, maintain a record of
transfers of Registrable Securities and shares of Common Stock generally to

                              PINNACLE MERGER CORP

                            PART A. AUTHORIZED SHARES

                  1.       NUMBER OF AUTHORIZED SHARES. The total number of
shares of capital stock which the Corporation has authority to issue is
50,000,000 shares, consisting of:

                           a.       45,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value
         $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"); and

                           b.       5,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par
         value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock").

Shares of Common Stock will have the rights, preferences and limitations
separately set forth below.

                             PART B. PREFERRED STOCK

Shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series.
Subject to the Bankruptcy Code limitations described in Part C.1 of this Article

and alter all rights, preferences, privileges, qualifications, limitations and
restrictions of any such series including, without limitation, voting rights
granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued
<PAGE>

series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting any such series
and the designation thereof, and to increase or decrease (but not below the
number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any
series after the issuance of shares of that series. If the number of shares of
any series is so decreased, then the shares constituting such reduction will
resume the status which such shares had prior to the adoption of the resolution
originally fixing the number of shares of such series.

                              PART C. COMMON STOCK

Except as otherwise provided in this Article FOUR or as otherwise required by
applicable law, all shares of Common Stock will be identical in all respects and

subject to the same qualifications, limitations and restrictions.

                  1.       VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of Common Stock will be
entitled to vote in the election of directors and on all other matters submitted
to a vote of the Corporation's stockholders, with each holder of Common Stock
being entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held by such holder.
Pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. ss.ss.
101-1330, as amended (the "Bankruptcy Code"), the Corporation shall not issue
any nonvoting equity securities to the extent prohibited by section 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code as in effect on the effective date of the Reorganization Plan
dated [ ], 2002, as such Plan may be amended, supplemented or modified, from
time to time (the "Reorganization Plan"), and shall, at all times, provide, as
to the several classes of securities from time-to-time posessing voting power,
an appropriate distribution of power among such classes, including, in the case
of any class of equity securities having a preference over another class of
equity securities with respect to dividends, adequate provisions for the
election of directors representing such preferred class in the event of default
in the payment of such dividends consistent with the requirements of section
1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that this Section 1 of
Part C (a) will have no further force and effect beyond that required under
section 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) will have such force and effect, if
any, only for so long as such section of the Bankruptcy Code is in effect and
applicable to the Corporation, and (c) in all events may be amended or
eliminated in accordance with such applicable law as from time to time may be in
effect.

                  2.       REGISTRATION OF TRANSFERS. The Corporation will keep
at its principal office (or such other place as the Corporation reasonably
designates) a register for the registration of shares of Common Stock. Upon the
surrender at such place of any certificate representing shares of any class of
Common Stock with respect to all of which a transfer would satisfy all
requirements of Part D of Article FOUR, the Corporation will, at the request of
the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate
or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of
shares of the class represented by the surrendered certificate, and the
Corporation forthwith will cancel such surrendered certificate. Each such new
certificate will be registered in such name and will represent such number of
shares of such class as is requested by the holder


                                    Ex. B-2
<PAGE>

of the surrendered certificate (so long as the requirements of Part D of Article
FOUR are otherwise satisfied with respect to the Common Stock represented by
such certificate) and will be substantially identical in form to the surrendered
certificate. The issuance of new certificates will be made without charge to the
holders of the surrendered certificates for any issuance tax in respect thereof
or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such issuance.

                  3.       REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to the Corporation (an affidavit of the registered holder being
satisfactory) of the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any certificate evidencing one or more shares of any class of Common Stock, and
in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity
reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (provided that if the holder is a
financial institution or other institutional investor then its own agreement
will be satisfactory) or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of
such certificate, the Corporation will (at its expense) execute and deliver in
lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number
of shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
certificate.

                           2.1      Ownership Limitations. During the period
         commencing on the Initial Date and ending upon the Restriction
         Termination Date:

                           a.       Basic Restrictions.

                           (1)      (A) No Person, other than an Excepted
         Holder, shall Beneficially Own or directly or indirectly own shares of
         Capital Stock equal to or in excess of either the Aggregate Stock
         Ownership Limit or the Section 382 Limit, and (B) no Excepted Holder
         shall Beneficially Own or directly or indirectly own shares of Capital
         Stock in excess of any applicable Excepted Holder Limit for such
         Excepted Holder.

                           (2)      No Person shall Beneficially Own shares of
         Capital Stock to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership of Capital
         Stock would result in the Corporation being "closely held" within the
         meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the
         ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year), or
         otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT.

                           (3)      No Person shall Constructively Own shares of
         Capital Stock to the extent that such Constructive Ownership would
         result in the Corporation owning (actually or Constructively) an
         interest in a tenant that


                                    Ex. B-6
<PAGE>

         is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code if the income derived
         by the Corporation from such tenant would cause the Corporation to fail
         to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of
         the Code.

                           (4)      No Person shall Transfer any Beneficial
         Ownership or Constructive Ownership of, or any direct or indirect
         interest in Capital Stock if, as a result of such Transfer, the Capital
         Stock would be beneficially owned by less than 100 Persons (determined
         under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code).

                           (5)      No Person shall Transfer any Beneficial
         Ownership or Constructive Ownership of, or any direct or indirect
         interest in Capital Stock if, as a result of such Transfer, the
         Corporation would undergo an Ownership Change.

                           b.       Transfer in Trust.

                           (1)      If any Transfer of shares of Capital Stock
         (whether or not such Transfer is the result of a transaction entered
         into through the facilities of the NYSE or any other national
         securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system) occurs
         which, if effective, would result in any Person Beneficially Owning or
         Constructively Owning, or otherwise having any direct or indirect
         interest in shares of Capital Stock in violation of any provision of
         Section 2.1(a): (i) then that number of shares of Capital Stock the
         Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of, or direct or indirect interest
         in, would otherwise cause such violation (rounded to the nearest whole
         share) shall be automatically transferred to one or more Trusts for the
         benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary, as described in Section 3,
         effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to the
         date of such Transfer, and such Person shall acquire no rights in such
         shares; or (ii) if the transfer to the Trust or Trusts described in
         paragraph 1 above would not be effective for any reason to prevent the
         violation of Section 2.1(a), then the Transfer of that number of shares
         of Capital Stock that otherwise would cause a violation of any
         provision of Section 2.1(a) shall be void ab initio, and the intended
         transferee shall acquire no rights in such shares of Capital Stock.

                           (2)      In determining which shares of Capital Stock
         are to be transferred to a Trust in accordance with this Section 2.1(b)
         and Section 3, shares shall be so transferred to a Trust in such manner
         as minimizes the aggregate value of the shares that are transferred to
         the Trust (except to the extent that the Board of Directors determines
         that the shares transferred to the Trust shall be those directly or
         indirectly held or Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by a
         Person or Persons that caused or contributed to the application of this
         Section 2.1(b)), and to the extent not inconsistent therewith, on a pro
         rata basis.

                           (3)      To the extent that, upon a transfer of
         shares of Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 2.1(b), a violation of
         any provision of Section 2.1(a) would nonetheless be continuing (for
         example where the ownership of


                                    Ex. B-7
<PAGE>

         shares of Capital Stock by a single Trust would exceed the Section 382
         Limit), then shares of Capital Stock shall be transferred to that
         number of Trusts, each having a distinct Trustee and a Charitable
         Beneficiary or Beneficiaries that are distinct from those of each other
         Trust, such that there is no violation of any provision of Section
         2.1(a).

                           2.2      Remedies for Breach. If the Board of
         Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee thereof
         shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other
         event has taken place that results in a violation of Section 2.1 or
         that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial
         or Constructive Ownership of, or any direct or indirect interest in,
         any shares of Capital Stock in violation of Section 2.1(a) (whether or
         not such violation is intended), the Board of Directors or a committee
         thereof shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give
         effect to or to prevent such Transfer or other event, including,
         without limitation, causing the Corporation to redeem shares, refusing
         to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or
         instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or other event;
         provided, however, that any Transfer or attempted Transfer or other
         event in violation of Section 2.1(a) shall automatically result in the
         transfer to the Trust described above, and, where applicable, such
         Transfer (or other event) shall be void ab initio as provided above
         irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors or
         a committee thereof.

                           2.3      Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person
         who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or
         Constructive Ownership of, or any direct or indirect interest in any
         shares of Capital Stock that will or may violate Section 2.1(a), and
         any Person who would have owned shares of Capital Stock that resulted
         in a transfer to the Trust pursuant to the provisions of Section
         2.1(b), shall in each such case immediately give written notice to the
         Corporation of such event, or in the case of such a proposed or
         attempted transaction, give at least 15 days' prior written notice, and
         shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the
         Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of
         such Transfer on the Corporation's status as a REIT.

                           2.4      Owners Required to Provide Information. From
         the Initial Date and prior to the Restriction Termination Date:

                           a.       every owner of more than five percent (or
         such lower percentage as required by the Code or the Treasury
         Regulations) of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock, within 30 days
         after the end of each taxable year, shall give written notice to the
         Corporation stating the name and address of such owner, the number of
         shares of Capital Stock Beneficially Owned and a description of the
         manner in which such shares are held. Each such owner shall provide to
         the Corporation such additional information as the Corporation may
         request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Beneficial
         Ownership on the Corporation's status as a REIT and to ensure
         compliance with the Aggregate Stock Ownership Limit, and


                                    Ex. B-8
<PAGE>

                           b.       each Person who is a Beneficial or
         Constructive Owner of Capital Stock and each Person (including the
         stockholder of record) who is holding Capital Stock for a Beneficial or
         Constructive Owner shall provide to the Corporation such information as
         the Corporation may request, in good faith, in order to determine the
         Corporation's status as a REIT or for other tax or compliance reasons.

                           2.5      Remedies Not Limited. Subject to Article
         TWELVE of this Certificate of Incorporation, nothing contained in this
         Section 2 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors of the
         Corporation to take such other action as it deems necessary or
         advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its
         stockholders in preserving the Corporation's status as a REIT.

                           2.6      Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in
         the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Section 2, the
         Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have the power to determine
         the application of the provisions of this Part D with respect to any
         situation based on the facts known to it. In the event that this Part D
         requires an action by the Board of Directors and the Certificate of
         Incorporation fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such
         action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the
         action to be taken. Any references contained in this Part D to the
         Corporation's Board of Directors shall include any duly authorized
         committee thereof.

                           2.7      Exceptions.

                           a.       The Board of Directors of the Corporation
         may, subject to such terms, conditions, representations and
         undertakings as it shall determine in its sole discretion, exempt a
         Person from the application of any one or more of the provisions of
         Section 2.1(a). Any violation or deemed violation of such
         representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary the
         restrictions contained in Sections 2.1 through 2.6) will result in such
         Person, and any Capital Stock that such person may Beneficially or
         Constructively Own, or in which it may otherwise hold any direct or
         indirect interest, being subject to the provisions of Section 2.1(b).

                           b.       Prior to granting any exception pursuant to
         Section 2.7(a), the Board of Directors of the Corporation may require a
         ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or an opinion of counsel, in
         either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of
         Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or
         advisable.

                           c.       The Board of Directors may only reduce the
         Excepted Holder Limit for an Excepted Holder (1) with the written
         consent of such Excepted Holder at any time, or (2) pursuant to the
         terms and conditions of the agreements and undertakings entered into
         with such Excepted Holder in connection with the establishment of the
         Excepted Holder Limit for that Excepted Holder. No Excepted Holder
         Limit with respect to a class or series of Capital Stock shall be
         reduced to a percentage equal to or less than the Aggregate Stock
         Ownership Limit, or the Section 382 Limit, as applicable.


                                    Ex. B-9
<PAGE>

                           2.8      Legend. Except as provided below, each
         certificate issued after the Initial Date for shares of Capital Stock
         shall bear substantially the following legend:

                           The shares represented by this certificate
                           are subject to certain ownership limitations
                           and restrictions on transfer, as provided in
                           the Corporation's Certificate of
                           Incorporation, and subject to such terms,
                           conditions and exceptions as set forth
                           therein. A copy of the Certificate of
                           Incorporation may be obtained from the
                           Corporation without charge. A violation of
                           these provisions could result in the shares
                           represented hereby being transferred to a
                           trust for the benefit of a charitable
                           beneficiary, or in a purported sale or other
                           transfer of these shares being void.

                  Instead of the foregoing legend, the certificate may state
         that the Corporation will furnish a full statement about certain
         restrictions on transferability to a stockholder on request and without
         charge.

                  3.       TRANSFER OF CAPITAL STOCK IN TRUST.

                           3.1      Ownership in Trust. Upon any purported
         Transfer or other event described in Section 2.1(b) that would result
         in a transfer of shares of Capital Stock to a Trust, such shares of
         Capital Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to a Trustee as
         trustee of such Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more
         Charitable Beneficiaries. Such transfer to the Trustee shall be deemed
         to be effective as of the close of business on the Business Day prior
         to the purported Transfer or other event that results in the transfer
         to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.1(b). The Trustee shall be appointed
         by the Board of Directors of the Corporation and shall be a Person
         unaffiliated with the Corporation and any Prohibited Owner. Each
         Charitable Beneficiary shall be designated by the Board of Directors to
         the Corporation as provided in Section 3.6.

                           3.2      Status of Shares Held by the Trustee. Shares
         of Capital Stock held by the Trustee shall be issued and outstanding
         shares of Capital Stock of the Company. The Prohibited Owner shall have
         no rights in the shares held by the Trustee. Except to the extent
         expressly provided herein, the Prohibited Owner shall not benefit
         economically from ownership of any shares held in trust by the Trustee,
         shall have no rights to dividends or other distributions, and shall not
         possess any rights to vote or other rights attributable to the shares
         held in the Trust.

                           3.3      Dividend and Voting Rights. The Trustee
         shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends or other
         distributions with respect to shares of Capital Stock held in the
         Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the
         Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or other distribution paid prior
         to the discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Capital Stock
         have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid by the recipient of
         such dividend or distribution to the Trustee upon demand and any
         dividend or other distribution authorized but unpaid shall be paid when
         due to the Trustee. Any dividend or distribution so paid to the Trustee
         shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Prohibited
         Owner


                                    Ex. B-10
<PAGE>

         shall have no voting rights with respect to shares held in the Trust
         and, subject to Delaware law, effective as of the date that the shares
         of Capital Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, the Trustee
         shall have the authority (at the Trustee's sole discretion) (i) to
         rescind as void any vote cast by a Prohibited Owner prior to the
         discovery by the Corporation that the shares of Capital Stock have been
         for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided, however, that
         if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action,
         then the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast
         such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Part D, until the
         Corporation has received notification that shares of Capital Stock have
         been transferred into a Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to
         rely on its share transfer and other stockholder records for purposes
         of preparing lists of stockholders entitled to vote at meetings,
         determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise
         conducting votes of stockholders.

                           3.4      Sale of Shares by Trustee. Within 90 days of
         receiving notice from the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have
         been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall sell the
         shares held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose
         ownership of the shares will not violate any of the ownership
         restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(a). Upon such sale, the interest
         of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares sold shall terminate and
         the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the
         Prohibited Owner and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this
         Section 3.4. The Prohibited Owner shall receive the lesser of (1) the
         price paid by the Prohibited Owner for the shares or, if the Prohibited
         Owner did not give value for the shares in connection with the event
         causing the shares to be held in a Trust (e.g., in the case of a gift,
         devise or other such transaction), the Market Price of the shares on
         the day of the event causing the shares to be held in the Trust and (2)
         the price per share received by the Trustee from the sale or other
         disposition of the shares held in the Trust. Any net sales proceeds in
         excess of the amount payable to the Prohibited Owner shall be
         immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary. If, prior to the
         discovery by the Corporation that shares of Capital Stock have been
         transferred to the Trustee, such shares are sold by a Prohibited Owner,
         then (i) such shares shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the
         Trust and (ii) to the extent that the Prohibited Owner received an
         amount for such shares that exceeds the amount that such Prohibited
         Owner was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 3.4, such excess
         shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

                           3.5      Purchase Right in Stock Transferred to the
         Trustee. Shares of Capital Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be
         deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its
         designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price per
         share in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust
         (or, in the case of a devise or gift, the Market Price at the time of
         such devise or gift) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the
         Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall
         have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold the
         shares held in the Trust pursuant to Section 3.4. Upon such a sale to
         the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the
         shares sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net
         proceeds of the sale to the Prohibited Owner.

                           3.6      Designation of Charitable Beneficiaries. By
         written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or
         more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the
         interest in any Trust created pursuant to this Section 3 such that (i)
         the shares of Capital Stock held in the Trust would not violate the
         restrictions set forth in Section 2.1(a) in the hands of such
         Charitable Beneficiary, and (ii) each such organization must be
         described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Code and Sections 170(b)(1)(A),
         2055 and 2522 of the Code.

                  4.       NYSE TRANSACTIONS. Nothing in this Part D shall
preclude the settlement of any transaction entered into through the facilities
of the NYSE or any other national securities exchange or automated inter-dealer
quotation system. The fact that the settlement of any transaction is so
permitted shall not negate the effect of any other provision of this Part D and
any transferee in such a transaction shall be subject to all of the provisions
and limitations set forth in this Part D.

                  5.       ENFORCEMENT. The Corporation is authorized
specifically to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, to enforce
the provisions of this Part D.

                  6.       NON-WAIVER. No delay or failure on the part of the
Corporation or the Board of Directors in exercising any right hereunder shall
operate as a waiver of any right of the Corporation or the Board of Directors,
as the case may be, except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

                                  ARTICLE FIVE

one, (b) the Chief Executive Officer, if there is one, (c) the President or (d)
the Board of Directors. The books of the Corporation may be kept outside the
State of Delaware at such place or places as may be designated from time to time
by the Board of Directors or in the Bylaws of the Corporation.

                                  ARTICLE EIGHT

         No director shall be personally liable to the Corporation or any of its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (a) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
Corporation or its stockholders, (b) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (c) pursuant
to Section 174 of the Delaware Corporation Law or (d) for any


                                    Ex. B-12
<PAGE>

transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. Any
repeal or modification of this Article EIGHT by the stockholders of the
Corporation shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director of
the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification with respect
to acts or omissions occurring prior to such repeal or modification.

                                  ARTICLE NINE

         The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Section 145
of the Delaware Corporation Law, as the same may be amended and supplemented, or
by any successor thereto, indemnify any and all persons whom it shall have the
power to indemnify under such section from and against any and all of the
expenses, liabilities or other matters referred to in or covered by such
section. The Corporation shall advance expenses to the fullest extent permitted
by said section. Such right to indemnification and advancement of expenses shall
continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or
agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators
of such a person. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for
herein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking
indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any Bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.

                                   ARTICLE TEN

         The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance
on behalf of any person who is or was or has agreed to become a director,
officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation against any liability asserted
against him or her and incurred by him or her or on his or her behalf in such
capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the
Corporation would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liability.

         The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of
Directors of the Corporation shall initially be nine (9). The number of
directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be
determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. The
directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and
Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third
of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The
initial Board of Directors of the Corporation shall consist of the following
individuals:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
               Class I                                 Class II                           Class III

</TABLE>


                                    Ex. B-13
<PAGE>

The term of the initial Class I directors shall terminate on the date of the
[2003] annual meeting; the term of the initial Class II directors shall
terminate on the date of the [2004] annual meeting; and the term of the initial
Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the [2005] annual meeting. At
each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning in [2003], successors
to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be
elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any
increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain
the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any
additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an
increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the
remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of
directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Directors need not be
stockholders. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the
stockholders, except as otherwise provided in the Bylaws, each director elected
shall hold office until the third succeeding meeting next after his election and
until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or until his death or
retirement or until he resigns or is removed in the manner hereinafter provided.
Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in
person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors
at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Such election shall be by
written ballot.

                                 ARTICLE TWELVE

         The Corporation shall seek to elect and maintain status as a REIT under
Sections 856-860 of the Code (as defined in Part D of Article FOUR). The Board
of Directors shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Corporation to
satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT under the Code, including,
but not limited to, the ownership of this outstanding stock, the nature of its
assets, the sources of its income, and the amount and timing of its
distributions to its stockholders; however, if the Board of Directors determines
that it is no longer in the best interests of the Corporation to continue to be
qualified as a REIT, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate
the Corporation's REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. The
Board of Directors also may determine that compliance with any restriction or
limitation on stock ownership and transfers set forth in Part D of Article FOUR
is no longer required for REIT qualification.

                                ARTICLE THIRTEEN

         Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this
Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this
Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable
jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary
way of this Corporation or any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the
application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under
the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the
application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed
for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the
Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of
the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may
be, to be summoned in such manner as such court directs. If a majority in number
representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors,
and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders, or this Corporation, as the
case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of
this Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, such
compromise or arrangement and


                                    Ex. B-14
<PAGE>

such reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which such application
has been made, be binding upon all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of
this Corporation, as the case may be, and also upon all the creditors or class
of creditors, and/or upon this Corporation.

                                ARTICLE FOURTEEN

         The Corporation expressly elects not to be governed by Section 203 of
the Delaware Corporation Law.

                                 ARTICLE FIFTEEN

         The Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal
any provision contained in this Certificate of Incorporation in the manner now
or hereafter prescribed herein and by the laws of the State of Delaware, and all
rights conferred upon stockholders herein are granted subject to this
reservation.

         Section 1.        Time and Place of Meetings. All meetings of the
stockholders for the election of directors shall be held at such time and place,
either within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be designated from time
to time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.
Meetings of stockholders for any other purpose may be held at such time and
place, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be stated in the notice
of the meeting or in a duly executed waiver of notice thereof.

         Section 2.        Annual Meetings. Annual meetings of stockholders
shall be held on such date and at such time as shall be designated from time to
time by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting, at which
meeting the stockholders shall elect by a plurality vote a Board of Directors
and transact such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting.

         Section 3.        Notice of Annual Meetings. Written notice of the
annual meeting, stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting, shall be given
to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting not less than 10
or more than 60 days before the date of the meeting.

         Section 4.        Special Meetings. Unless otherwise required by law,
special meetings of stockholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by
either (i) the Chairman of the Board of Directors, if there is one, (ii) the
Chief Executive Officer, (iii) the President or (iv) the Board of Directors. The
ability of the stockholders to call a special meeting of stockholders is hereby
specifically denied.

         Section 5.        Notice of Special Meetings. Written notice of a
special meeting, stating the place, date, and hour of the meeting and the
purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given to each

         Section 6.        Nature of Business at Meetings of Stockholders. No
business may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders, other than
business that is either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any
supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or
any duly authorized committee thereof), (b) otherwise properly brought before
the annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors (or any
<PAGE>

duly authorized committee thereof) or (c) otherwise properly brought before the
annual meeting by any stockholder of the Company (i) who is a stockholder of
record on the date of the giving of the notice provided for in this Section 6
and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at
such annual meeting and (ii) who complies with the notice procedures set forth
in this Section 6.

                  In addition to any other applicable requirements, for business
to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such
stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form to the
Secretary of the Company.

                  To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Company not less than sixty (60) days nor more than ninety (90) days prior to
the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of
stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is
called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days before or after such
anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be timely must be so
received not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following
the day on which such notice of the date of the annual meeting was mailed or
such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever
first occurs.

                  To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the
Secretary must set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring
before the annual meeting (i) a brief description of the business desired to be
brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business
at the annual meeting, (ii) the name and record address of such stockholder,
(iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company
which are owned beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iv) a
description of all arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and
any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the
proposal of such business by such stockholder and any material interest of such
stockholder in such business and (v) a representation that such stockholder
intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such
business before the meeting.

                  Once business has been properly brought before the annual
meeting in accordance with the procedures in this Section 6, nothing in this
Section 6 shall be deemed to preclude discussion by any stockholder of any such
business. If the Chairman of an annual meeting determines that business was not
properly brought before the annual meeting in accordance with the foregoing
procedures, the Chairman shall declare to the meeting that the business was not
properly brought before the meeting and such business shall not be transacted.

         Section 7.        Quorum. Except as otherwise provided by statute or
the Certificate of Incorporation, the holders of stock having a majority of the
voting power of the stock entitled to be voted thereat, present in person or
represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business
at all meetings of the stockholders. If, however, such quorum shall not be
present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders
entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have
power to adjourn the meeting from time to time without notice (other than
announcement at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken of the time and
place of the adjourned meeting) until a quorum shall be present or represented.
At such adjourned meeting at


                                    Ex. C-2
<PAGE>

which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted
which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If the
adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the adjournment a new record
date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting shall
be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

         Section 8.        Organization. At each meeting of the stockholders,
the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, determined as provided
in Article V of these Bylaws, or if those officers shall be absent therefrom,
another officer of the Corporation chosen as chairman by a majority of the votes
cast by the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote
thereat, or if all the officers of the Corporation shall be absent therefrom, a
stockholder of record holding shares of stock of the Corporation so chosen,
shall act as chairman of the meeting and preside thereat. The Secretary or, if
he shall be absent from such meeting or shall be required pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 8 to act as chairman of such meeting, the person whom
the chairman of such meeting shall appoint shall act as secretary of such
meeting and keep the minutes thereof.

         Section 9.        Voting. Except as otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall, at each meeting of the
stockholders, be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of
stock of the Corporation held by him and registered in his name on the books of
the Corporation on the date fixed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 of
Article X of these Bylaws as the record date for the determination of
stockholders who shall be entitled to notice of and to vote at such meeting.
Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation,
if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of
such other corporation is held directly or indirectly by the Corporation, shall
not be entitled to vote. Any vote by stock of the Corporation may be given at
any meeting of the stockholders by the stockholder entitled thereto, in person
or by his proxy appointed by an instrument in writing subscribed by such
stockholder or by his attorney thereunto duly authorized and delivered to the
Secretary of the Corporation or to the secretary of the meeting; provided,
however, that no proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its
date, unless said proxy shall provide for a longer period. Each proxy shall be
revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and unless
otherwise made irrevocable by law. At all meetings of the stockholders all
matters, except where other provision is made by law, the Certificate of
Incorporation, or these Bylaws, shall be decided by the vote of a majority of
the votes cast by the stockholders present in person or by proxy and entitled to
vote thereat, a quorum being present. Unless demanded by a stockholder of the
Corporation present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders and
entitled to vote thereat, or so directed by the chairman of the meeting, the
vote thereat on any question other than the election or removal of directors
need not be by written ballot. Upon a demand of any such stockholder for a vote
by written ballot on any question or at the direction of such chairman that a
vote by written ballot be taken on any question, such vote shall be taken by
written ballot. On a vote by written ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the
stockholder voting, or by his proxy, if there be such proxy, and shall state the
number of shares voted.

         Section 10.       Action By Written Consent. Unless otherwise provided
in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be
taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, may
be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a
consent or consents in writing, setting forth the


                                    Ex. C-3
<PAGE>

action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not
less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or
take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its
registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or
an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which
proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the
Corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered
mail, return receipt requested. Every written consent shall bear the date of
signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall
be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within
sixty days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by
this Section 10 to the Corporation, written consents signed by a sufficient
number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation by delivery to
its registered office in the state of Delaware, its principal place of business,
or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which
proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Prompt notice of the
taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written
consent shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented in writing
and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to
notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that
written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action
were delivered to the Corporation as provided above in this section.

         Section 11.       List of Stockholders. It shall be the duty of the
Secretary or other officer of the Corporation who shall have charge of its stock
ledger, either directly or through another officer of the Corporation designated
by him or through a transfer agent appointed by the Board of Directors, to
prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of the stockholders, a
complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote thereat, arranged in
alphabetical order, and showing the address of each stockholder and the number
of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. Such list shall be open to
the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting,
during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least 10 days before said
meeting, at the principal executive offices of the Corporation. The list shall
also be produced and kept at the time and place of said meeting during the whole
time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder of record who shall be
present thereat. The stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the
stockholders entitled to examine the stock ledger, such list or the books of the
Corporation, or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

         Section 12.       Inspectors of Votes. At each meeting of the
stockholders, the chairman of such meeting may appoint two Inspectors of Votes
to act thereat, unless the Board of Directors shall have theretofore made such
appointments. Each Inspector of Votes so appointed shall first subscribe an oath
or affirmation faithfully to execute the duties of an Inspector of Votes at such
meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such
Inspectors of Votes, if any, shall take charge of the ballots, if any, at such
meeting and, after the balloting thereat on any question, shall count the
ballots cast thereon and shall make a report in writing to the secretary of such
meeting of the results thereof. An Inspector of Votes need not be a stockholder
of the Corporation, and any officer of the Corporation may be an Inspector of
Votes on any question other than a vote for or against his election to any
position with the Corporation or on any other question in which he may be
directly interested.

                                   ARTICLE III

                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

         Section 1.        Powers. The business and affairs of the Corporation
shall be managed by its Board of Directors, which shall have and may exercise
all such powers of the Corporation and do all such lawful acts and things as are
not by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws directed or
required to be exercised or done by the stockholders.

         Section 2.        Number, Qualification, and Term of Office. The
number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors of the
reorganized Company shall initially be nine (9). [The initial Board of Directors
of the reorganized Company shall consist of the following individuals: [ ].] The
number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors shall be
determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. The
directors shall be divided into three classes, designated Class I, Class II and
Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as may be possible, of one-third
of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors. The
initial division of the Board of Directors into classes shall be made by the
decision of the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors.
The term of the initial Class I directors shall terminate on the date of the
[2003] annual meeting; the term of the initial Class II directors shall
terminate on the date of the [2004] annual meeting; and the term of the initial
Class III directors shall terminate on the date of the [2005] annual meeting. At
each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders beginning in [2003], successors
to the class of directors whose term expires at that annual meeting shall be
elected for a three-year term. If the number of directors is changed, any
increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain
the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any
additional director of any class elected to fill a vacancy resulting from an
increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the
remaining term of that class, but in no case will a decrease in the number of
directors shorten the term of any incumbent director. Directors need not be
stockholders. The directors shall be elected at the annual meeting of the
stockholders, except as provided in Sections 5 and 6 of this Article III, and
each director elected shall hold office until the third succeeding meeting next
after his election and until his successor is duly elected and qualified, or
until his death or retirement or until he resigns or is removed in the manner
hereinafter provided. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of
the shares present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the
election of directors at any annual or special meeting of stockholders. Such
election shall be by written ballot.

         Section 3.        Resignations. Any director may resign at any time by
giving written notice of his resignation to the Corporation. Any such
resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if the time when
it shall become effective shall not be specified therein, then it shall take
effect immediately upon its receipt by the Corporation. Unless otherwise
specified therein, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to
make it effective.

         Section 4.        Nomination of Directors. Only persons who are
nominated in accordance with the following procedures shall be eligible for
election as directors of the Company, except as may be otherwise provided in the
Certificate of Incorporation with


                                    Ex. C-5
<PAGE>

respect to the right of holders of preferred stock of the Corporation to
nominate and elect a specified number of directors in certain circumstances.
Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at any
annual meeting of stockholders, or at any special meeting of stockholders called
for the purpose of electing directors, (a) by or at the direction of the Board
of Directors (or any duly authorized committee thereof) or (b) by any
stockholder of the Company (i) who is a stockholder of record on the date of the
giving of the notice provided for in this Section 4 and on the record date for
the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting and (ii) who
complies with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 4.

                  In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a
nomination to be made by a stockholder, such stockholder must have given timely
notice thereof in proper written form to the Secretary of the Company.

                  To be timely, a stockholder's notice to the Secretary must be
delivered to or mailed and received at the principal executive offices of the
Company (a) in the case of an annual meeting, not less than sixty (60) days nor
more than ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately
preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event
that the annual meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty (30) days
before or after such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder in order to be
timely must be so received not later than the close of business on the tenth
(10th) day following the day on which such notice of the date of the annual
meeting was mailed or such public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting
was made, whichever first occurs; and (b) in the case of a special meeting of
stockholders called for the purpose of electing directors, not later than the
close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which notice of
the date of the special meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of
the special meeting was made, whichever first occurs.

                  To be in proper written form, a stockholder's notice to the
Secretary must set forth (a) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to
nominate for election as a director (i) the name, age, business address and
residence address of the person, (ii) the principal occupation or employment of
the person, (iii) the class or series and number of shares of capital stock of
the Company which are owned beneficially or of record by the person and (iv) any
other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed
in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (b) as to the stockholder giving the
notice (i) the name and record address of such stockholder, (ii) the class or
series and number of shares of capital stock of the Company which are owned
beneficially or of record by such stockholder, (iii) a description of all
arrangements or understandings between such stockholder and each proposed
nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to
which the nomination(s) are to be made by such stockholder, (iv) a
representation that such stockholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at
the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice and (v) any other
information relating to such stockholder that would be required to be disclosed
in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with
solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice
must be


                                    Ex. C-6
<PAGE>

accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a
nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

                  No person shall be eligible for election as a director of the
Company unless nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 4. If the Chairman of the meeting determines that a nomination was not
made in accordance with the foregoing procedures, the Chairman shall declare to
the meeting that the nomination was defective and such defective nomination
shall be disregarded.

         Section 5.        Removal of Directors. Any director may be removed,
but only for cause, at any time, by the affirmative vote by written ballot of a
80% in voting interest of the stockholders of record of the Corporation entitled
to vote, given at an annual meeting or at a special meeting of the stockholders
called for that purpose. The vacancy in the Board of Directors caused by any
such removal shall be filled by the stockholders at such meeting or, if not so
filled, by the Board of Directors as provided in Section 6 of this Article III.

         Section 6.        Vacancies. Vacancies and newly created directorships
resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled
by a majority of the directors then in office though less than a quorum, or by a
sole remaining director, and the directors so chosen shall hold office until the
annual meeting next after their election and until their successors are elected
and qualified, unless sooner displaced. If there are no directors in office,
then an election of directors may be held in the manner provided by statute.

                                   ARTICLE IV

         Section 1.        Place of Meetings. The Board of Directors of the
Corporation may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or
without the State of Delaware.

         Section 2.        Annual Meetings. The first meeting of each newly
elected Board of Directors shall be held immediately following the annual
meeting of stockholders, and no notice of such meeting to the newly elected
directors shall be necessary in order legally to constitute the meeting,
provided a quorum shall be present. In the event such meeting is not held
immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders, the meeting may be
held at such time and place as shall be specified in a notice given as
hereinafter provided for special meetings of the Board of Directors, or as shall
be specified in a written waiver signed by all of the directors.

         Section 3.        Regular Meetings. Regular meetings of the Board of
Directors may be held without notice at such time and at such place as shall
from time to time be determined by the Board of Directors.

         Section 4.        Special Meetings; Notice. Special meetings of the
Board of Directors may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Chief
Executive Officer, or the Secretary on 24 hours' notice to each director, either
personally or by telephone or by mail, telegraph, telex, cable, wireless, or
other form of recorded communication; special meetings shall be called by the
Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Secretary in like manner and on


                                    Ex. C-7
<PAGE>

like notice on the written request of two directors. Notice of any such meeting
need not be given to any director, however, if waived by him in writing or by
telegraph, telex, cable, wireless, or other form of recorded communication, or
if he shall be present at such meeting.

         Section 5.        Quorum and Manner of Acting. At all meetings of the
Board of Directors, a majority of the directors at the time in office (but not
less than one-third of the whole Board of Directors) shall constitute a quorum
for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of the directors
present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the
Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute
or by the Certificate of Incorporation. If a quorum shall not be present at any
meeting of the Board of Directors, the directors present thereat may adjourn the
meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum shall be present.

         Section 6.        Remuneration. Unless otherwise expressly provided by
resolution adopted by the Board of Directors, none of the directors shall, as
such, receive any stated remuneration for his services; but the Board of
Directors may at any time and from time to time by resolution provide that a
specified sum shall be paid to any director of the Corporation, either as his
annual remuneration as such director or member of any committee of the Board of
Directors or as remuneration for his attendance at each meeting of the Board of
Directors or any such committee. The Board of Directors may also likewise
provide that the Corporation shall reimburse each director for any expenses paid
by him on account of his attendance at any meeting. Nothing in this Section 6
shall be construed to preclude any director from serving the Corporation in any
other capacity and receiving remuneration therefor.

and affairs of the Corporation, and shall have the power to authorize the seal
of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it; but the
Executive Committee shall not have the power to fill vacancies in the Board of
Directors, the Executive Committee, or any other committee of directors or to
elect or approve officers of the Corporation. The Executive Committee shall have
the power and authority to authorize the issuance of common stock and grant and
authorize options and other rights with respect to such issuance. The Board of
Directors shall have the power at any time, by resolution passed by a majority
of the whole Board of Directors, to change the membership of the Executive
Committee, to fill all vacancies in it, or to dissolve it, either with or
without cause.

         Section 2.        Organization. The Chairman of the Executive
Committee, to be selected by the Board of Directors, shall act as chairman at
all meetings of the Executive


                                    Ex. C-8
<PAGE>

Committee and the Secretary shall act as secretary thereof. In case of the
absence from any meeting of the Executive Committee of the Chairman of the
Executive Committee or the Secretary, the Executive Committee may appoint a
chairman or secretary, as the case may be, of the meeting.

         Section 3.        Meetings. Regular meetings of the Executive
Committee, of which no notice shall be necessary, may be held on such days and
at such places, within or without the State of Delaware, as shall be fixed by
resolution adopted by a majority of the Executive Committee and communicated in
writing to all its members. Special meetings of the Executive Committee shall be
held whenever called by the Chairman of the Executive Committee or a majority of
the members of the Executive Committee then in office. Notice of each special
meeting of the Executive Committee shall be given by mail, telegraph, telex,
cable, wireless, or other form of recorded communication or be delivered
personally or by telephone to each member of the Executive Committee not later
than the day before the day on which such meeting is to be held. Notice of any
such meeting need not be given to any member of the Executive Committee,
however, if waived by him in writing or by telegraph, telex, cable, wireless, or
other form of recorded communication, or if he shall be present at such meeting;
and any meeting of the Executive Committee shall be a legal meeting without any
notice thereof having been given, if all the members of the Executive Committee
shall be present thereat. Subject to the provisions of this Article V, the
Executive Committee, by resolution adopted by a majority of the whole Executive
Committee, shall fix its own rules of procedure.

         Section 4.        Quorum and Manner of Acting. A majority of the
Executive Committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business,

the Corporation, which, to the extent provided in said resolution or
resolutions, shall have and may exercise, subject to the provisions of Section
141 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and the Certificate of
Incorporation and these Bylaws, the powers and authority of the Board of
Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and
shall have the power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to
all papers which may require it; but no such committee shall have the power to
fill vacancies in the Board of Directors, the Executive Committee, or any other
committee or in their respective membership, to appoint or remove officers of
the Corporation, or to authorize the issuance of shares of the capital stock of
the Corporation, except that such a committee may, to the extent provided in
said resolutions, grant and authorize options and other rights with respect to
the common stock of the Corporation pursuant to and in accordance with any plan
approved by the Board of Directors. Such committee or committees shall have such
name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by
the Board of Directors. A majority of all the members of any such committee may

                                     NOTICES

         Section 1.        Type of Notice. Whenever, under the provisions of any
applicable statute, the Certificate of Incorporation, or these Bylaws, notice is
required to be given to any director or stockholder, it shall not be construed
to mean personal notice, but such notice may be given in writing, in person or
by mail, addressed to such director or stockholder, at his address as it appears
on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice
shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the

permitted by Article IV hereof and shall be deemed to be given at the time when


                                    Ex. C-10
<PAGE>

first transmitted by the method of communication so permitted.

         Section 2.        Waiver of Notice. Whenever any notice is required to
be given under the provisions of any applicable statute, the Certificate of
Incorporation, or these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the
person or persons entitled to said notice, whether before or after the time
stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto, and transmission of a waiver
of notice by a director or stockholder by mail, telegraph, telex, cable,
wireless, or other form of recorded communication may constitute such a waiver.

         Section 3.        When Notice Unnecessary. Whenever, under the
provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate of
Incorporation or these Bylaws, any notice is required to be given to any
stockholder, such notice need not be given to the stockholder if:

                  meetings held during the period between those annual meetings,
                  if any, or

         (b)      all (but in no event less than two) payments (if sent by first
                  class mail) of distributions or interest on securities during
                  a 12-months period,

have been mailed to that person, addressed at his address as shown on the
records of the Corporation, and have been returned undeliverable. Any action or
meeting taken or held without notice to such a person shall have the same force
and effect as if the notice had been duly given. If such a person delivers to
the Corporation a written notice setting forth his then current address, the
requirement that notice be given to that person shall be reinstated.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                 INDEMNIFICATION

         Section 1.        Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings
other than Those by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of
this Article IX, the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a
party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Corporation) by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director or officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed



                                    Ex. C-14
<PAGE>
to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any criminal
action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct
was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment,
order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its
equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not
act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in
or not to the best interests of the Corporation, and, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such
person's conduct was unlawful.

         Section 2.        Power to Indemnify in Actions, Suits or Proceedings
by or in the Right of the Corporation. Subject to Section 3 of this Article IX,
the Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or
suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by
reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and
reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement
of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any
claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be
liable to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of
Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine
upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all
the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court
shall deem proper.

         Section 3.        Authorization of Indemnification. Any indemnification
under this Article IX (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the
Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that
indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances
because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in
Section 1 or Section 2 of this Article IX, as the case may be. Such
determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or
officer at the time of such determination, (i) by a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though
less than a quorum, or (ii) by a committee of such directors designated by a
majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum, or (iii) if
there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent
legal counsel in a written opinion or (iv) by the stockholders. Such
determination shall be made, with respect to former directors and officers, by
any person or persons having the authority to act on the matter on behalf of the
Corporation. To the extent, however, that a present or former director or
officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any
claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against
expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such
person in connection therewith, without the necessity of authorization in the
specific case.


                                    Ex. C-15
<PAGE>

         Section 4.        Good Faith Defined. For purposes of any determination
under Section 3 of this Article IX, a person shall be deemed to have acted in
good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not
opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, or, with respect to any
criminal action or proceeding, to have had no reasonable cause to believe such
person's conduct was unlawful, if such person's action is based on the records
or books of account of the Corporation or another enterprise, or on information
supplied to such person by the officers of the Corporation or another enterprise
in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the
Corporation or another enterprise or on information or records given or reports
made to the Corporation or another enterprise by an independent certified public
accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with reasonable care by
the Corporation or another enterprise. The term "another enterprise" as used in
this Section 4 shall mean any other corporation or any partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise of which such person
is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer,
employee or agent. The provisions of this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be
exclusive or to limit in any way the circumstances in which a person may be
deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 1 or
2 of this Article IX, as the case may be.

         Section 5.        Indemnification by a Court. Notwithstanding any
contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this Article IX,
and notwithstanding the absence of any determination thereunder, any director or
officer may apply to the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware for
indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under Sections 1 and 2 of
this Article IX. The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a
determination by such court that indemnification of the director or officer is
proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standards
of conduct set forth in Section 1 or 2 of this Article IX, as the case may be.
Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under Section 3 of this
Article IX nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to
such application or create a presumption that the director or officer seeking
indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any
application for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 shall be given to the
Corporation promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in
whole or in part, the director or officer seeking indemnification shall also be
entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

         Section 6.        Expenses Payable in Advance. Expenses incurred by a
director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in
advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt
of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such
amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to
be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this Article IX.


                                    Ex. C-16
<PAGE>

         Section 7.        Nonexclusivity of Indemnification and Advancement of
Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted
pursuant to this Article IX shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled
under the Certificate of Incorporation, any bylaw, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such
person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding
such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of the
persons specified in Sections 1 and 2 of this Article IX shall be made to the
fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Article IX shall not be
deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in
Section 1 or 2 of this Article IX but whom the Corporation has the power or
obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware, or otherwise.

         Section 8.        Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer of the
Corporation, or is or was a director or officer of the Corporation serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of
another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or
other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred
by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as
such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power or the obligation to
indemnify such person against such liability under the provisions of this
Article IX.

         Section 9.        Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article IX,
references to "the Corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting
corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a
constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate
existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its
directors or officers, so that any person who is or was a director or officer of
such constituent corporation, or is or was a director or officer of such
constituent corporation serving at the request of such constituent corporation
as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, shall stand in
the same position under the provisions of this Article IX with respect to the
resulting or surviving corporation as such person would have with respect to
such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. For
purposes of this Article IX, references to "fines" shall include any excise
taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and
references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any
service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which
imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director or officer with
respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries; and a
person who acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed
to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee
benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best
interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article IX.


                                    Ex. C-17
<PAGE>

         Section 10.       Survival of Indemnification and Advancement of
Expenses. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or
granted pursuant to, this Article IX shall, unless otherwise provided when
authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director
or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and
administrators of such a person.

         Section 11.       Limitation on Indemnification. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Article IX to the contrary, except for proceedings to
enforce rights to indemnification (which shall be governed by Section 5 hereof
of this Article IX), the Corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any
director or officer in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated
by such person unless such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized or
consented to by the Board of Directors of the Corporation.

         Section 12.       Indemnification of Employees and Agents. The
Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of
Directors, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses
to employees and agents of the Corporation similar to those conferred in this
Article IX to directors and officers of the Corporation.

         Section 13.       Savings Provision. If this Article IX or any portion
hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction
the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify each Corporate Functionary as to
expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, or investigation,
whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or
action or suit brought by or in the right of the Corporation, to the full extent
permitted by any applicable portion of this Article IX that shall not have been
invalidated.

                                    ARTICLE X

                         CERTIFICATES REPRESENTING STOCK

         Section 1.        Right to Certificate. Every holder of stock in the
Corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed (by original
signature or by facsimile) by, or in the name of the Corporation by, the
Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or a Vice
President and by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation,
certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. If the
Corporation shall be authorized to issue more than one class of stock or more
than one series of any class, the powers, designations, preferences, and
relative, participating, optional, or other special rights of each class of
stock or series thereof and the qualifications, limitations, or restrictions of
such preferences or rights shall be set forth in full or summarized on the face
or back of the certificate which the Corporation shall issue to represent such
class or series of stock; provided, that, except as otherwise provided in
Chapter 1 of Title 8 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, in lieu of the
foregoing requirements, there may be set forth on the face or back of the

Re       Senior Secured Financing Commitment Letter

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         You have informed Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas ("DBTCA"),
Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. ("DBSI" and, together with DBTCA, "DB"), Bank of
America, N.A. ("BOA") and Banc of America Securities LLC ("BAS" and, together
with BOA and any affiliate thereof designated by BOA and/or BAS, "BA") that
Fortress Investment Group, LLC ("Fortress") and Greenhill Capital Partners,
L.P. ("Greenhill" and, together with Fortress, the "Sponsors" and each, a
"Sponsor") intend to make a cash common equity investment in Pinnacle Holdings
Inc. ("Holdings") (such investment being herein called the "Investment"),
through a transaction structured in a manner satisfactory to the Agents (as
defined below) as a "pre-arranged" plan of reorganization (the "Plan") under
Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"). As
consideration for such Investment, the Sponsors shall receive 100% (on a fully
diluted basis) of the equity interests in Holdings; provided that the 100%
figure contained above in this sentence may be reduced pursuant to certain
equity issuances satisfactory to the Agents, so long as the aggregate


<PAGE>

amount of such equity interests so issued does not exceed (on a fully diluted
basis) more than 49.9% of the equity of Holdings.

         It is our understanding that, pursuant to the terms of the Plan, the
following (collectively called the "Refinancing") shall occur:

                  (i)      the existing $362 million senior credit facility
         (the "Existing Senior Credit Facility") of Pinnacle Towers, Inc. (the
         "Borrower") shall be repaid in full through the making of cash
         payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the lesser of (x) $362
         million or (y) the aggregate principal amount outstanding thereunder;

                  (ii)     in the event that the Borrower obtains a
         debtor-in-possession credit facility (the "DIP Credit Facility") in
         connection with the filing of the Plan, the aggregate amount
         outstanding under such DIP Credit Facility on the Closing Date shall
         be repaid in full in cash, and such DIP Credit Facility shall be
         terminated;

                  (iii)    the Borrower's existing senior seller notes (the
         "Seller Notes"), in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25
         million (as reduced by the Seller Note Repayment Amount (as defined
         below)), shall be assumed by the Borrower pursuant to the Plan (as so
         assumed, the "Assumed Seller Notes"), so long as the terms and
         conditions of such Seller Notes are satisfactory to the Agents;

                  (iv)     other liabilities (consisting of balance sheet
         liabilities classified as "Current Liabilities" and "Other
         Liabilities") in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $65
         million shall be assumed pursuant to the Plan; provided that all such
         liabilities (as so assumed, the "Other Assumed Liabilities" and,
         together with the Assumed Seller Notes, the "Assumed Liabilities")
         shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Agents;

                  (v)      holders of Holdings' 10% senior discount notes due
         2008 (the "Existing Senior Notes") will be offered an aggregate
         consideration of $114 million (or approximately 35% of their fully
         accreted value of $325 million) in either (a) cash or (b) at the
         election of the holder, a combination of cash and/or up to 100% of
         such consideration in new common equity of Holdings at the value of
         the common equity issued pursuant to the Common Equity Financing (as
         defined below) (with the amount of such Common Equity Financing to be
         reduced by the amount (the "Existing Senior Notes Cash Reduction
         Amount") by which the cash payable to the holders of Existing Senior
         Notes is reduced by reason of their election to receive common equity
         of Holdings as contemplated by the preceding clause (b); it being
         understood and agreed that the aggregate amount of consideration
         received by the holders of the Existing Senior Notes may, (I) in the
         event that a Determination (as defined in the Securities Purchase
         Agreement (as defined in the Term Sheet)) has been made, be reduced by
         the Tax Amount (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
         and/or (II) in the event that the Closing Date occurs after the date
         that is the three month anniversary of the date of this letter, be
         increased in accordance with the last sentence of Section 5.8(b) of
         the Securities Purchase Agreement;


                                    EX. E-2

<PAGE>

                  (vi)     holders of Holdings' 5 1/2% convertible subordinated
         notes due 2007 (the "Existing Convertible Subordinated Notes") will be
         offered an aggregate consideration of $1 million in cash;

                  (vii)    (x) warrants to purchase up to 1% of the common
         equity of Holdings will be available for distribution to certain
         existing holders of Holdings' common equity and (y) warrants to
         purchase up to 2% of the common equity of Holdings will be available
         for distribution to holders of the Existing Convertible Subordinated
         Notes, which warrants, in each case, would contain an exercise price
         equal to two times the value on the effective date of the common
         equity issued pursuant to the Common Equity Financing and be subject
         to other terms and conditions satisfactory to the Agents; and

                  (viii)   other liabilities (including a portion of the Seller
         Notes (if any)) required by the Plan to be repaid shall be repaid in
         full in cash, so long as the amount of such other liabilities to be
         repaid does not cause Cash Funding (as defined in the Securities
         Purchase Agreement) to exceed $415 million.

The Plan would further provide that all existing debt, liabilities and equity
of Holdings and its subsidiaries (subject to such exceptions as may be agreed
by the Agents in their sole discretion) will be extinguished pursuant to the
Plan, except for (x) the Assumed Seller Notes which would be assumed as
contemplated by clause (iii) above and (y) the Other Assumed Liabilities, which
would be assumed to the extent described in clause (iv) above. It is our
further understanding that the fees and expenses payable in connection with the
Transaction (as defined below) will not exceed $23 million.

         In order to finance the payments owing pursuant to the Plan (including
without limitation those described above), the Investment and the Refinancing,
and to provide for the working capital needs and general corporate requirements
of Holdings and its subsidiaries after giving effect to the consummation of the
Plan, it is presently contemplated that (i) Holdings shall receive cash common
equity financing (the "Common Equity Financing") from the Sponsors in an
aggregate amount of at least $205 million (as reduced by the (x) Existing
Senior Notes Cash Reduction Amount and (y) subject to the terms of the
Securities Purchase Agreement, the amount (if any) by which the Cash Funding is
less than $415 million, and as increased by the Lease Rejection Amount (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (ii) the Borrower shall
obtain a senior secured credit facility in the aggregate amount of $340 million
(the "Senior Secured Financing") (with the transactions described in preceding
clauses (i) and (ii) being herein collectively referred to as the "Financing
Transactions" and, together with the Investment, the Refinancing, and the Plan
(including the consummation thereof) being herein referred to as the
"Transaction").

         The sources of funds needed to effect the Transaction, as well as to
pay all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transaction, shall be
provided solely through the Financing Transactions. It is understood further
that the Senior Secured Financing shall consist of (i) a $300 million term loan
facility (the "Term Loan Facility") and (ii) a $40 million revolving loan
facility (the "Revolving Loan Facility" and, together with the Term Loan
Facility, the "Credit Facilities"); it being understood that (w) all of the
Term Loan Facility shall be drawn on the closing date of the Transaction (the
"Closing


                                    EX. E-3

<PAGE>

Date") to make cash payments owing pursuant to the Plan and to pay fees and
expenses in connection with the Transaction, (x) no portion of the Revolving
Loan Facility (other than an amount not to exceed the aggregate principal
amount of Seller Notes repaid by the Borrower on the Closing Date (such amount,
the "Seller Note Repayment Amount")) may be utilized to make payments owing
pursuant to the Plan or to pay any fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the Transaction (it being understood and agreed that letters of credit
under the Revolving Loan Facility may be issued on the Closing Date to support
the obligations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in respect of the Seller
Notes) and (y) no portion of the Revolving Loan Facility may be utilized on or
after the Closing Date to pay any portion of any taxes that are due or become
due with respect to "built-in-gains" in assets acquired, directly or indirectly
from any entity treated as a corporation (other than as a "S" corporation) for
U.S. federal income tax purposes. A summary of certain terms of the Senior
Secured Financing is set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Term Sheet").
Please note that those matters that are not covered or made clear herein or in
Exhibit A or in the related fee letter of even date herewith (the "Fee Letter")
are subject to mutual agreement of the parties. The terms and conditions of
this commitment may be modified only in writing signed by each of the parties
hereto.

         Each of DBTCA, DBSI and BA is pleased to confirm that, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Term Sheet, (i) DBTCA hereby
commits to severally provide $220 million of the Senior Secured Financing, (ii)
BA hereby commits to severally provide $120 million of the Senior Secured
Financing, (iii) DBTCA will act as sole Administrative Agent (in such capacity,
the "Administrative Agent") for a syndicate of lenders who will participate in
the Senior Secured Financing (together with DBTCA and BA, the "Lenders"), (iv)
DBSI will act as sole Lead Arranger and Book Manager for the Senior Secured
Financing (in such capacity, the "Lead Arranger") and (v) BA will act as sole
Syndication Agent (in such capacity, the "Syndication Agent" and, together with
the Administrative Agent and the Lead Arranger, the "Agents" and each, an
"Agent") for the Senior Secured Financing. At the Agents' option, DBTCA, DBSI,
BA and/or one or more affiliates thereof may also be designated as
"Documentation Agent" or such other titles as may be deemed appropriate or
desirable by the Agents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above in this paragraph, in connection with the syndication of the Senior
Secured Financing, the Agents shall have the right to award one or more of the
roles or titles described above, or such other titles as may be determined by
the Agents, to one or more other Lenders, in each case as determined by the
Agents in their sole discretion. You agree that, except as contemplated by the
immediately preceding sentence, no other agents, co-agents or arrangers will be
appointed, no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that
expressly contemplated by the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter) will be paid in
connection with the Senior Secured Financing unless you and we shall so agree.
You also hereby agree that the Agents shall be entitled, after consultation
with you, to change the terms and conditions, pricing, fees and structure of
the Senior Secured Financing if the Agents determine that such changes are
advisable to ensure the successful syndication of the Senior Secured Financing,
provided that the total amount of the commitments under the Senior Secured
Financing remain unchanged. Furthermore, if the Closing Date occurs before the
Senior Secured Financing has been fully syndicated (as determined by the
Agents), then (x) you shall cause the Borrower and the Guarantors (as defined
in the Term Sheet) to enter into documentation on the Closing Date satisfactory
to the Agents acknowledging that the provisions of the preceding sentence shall
survive until


                                    EX. E-4
<PAGE>

such time as the Senior Secured Financing has been successfully syndicated, as
determined by the Agents and (y) it shall be a condition precedent to the
Closing Date that the actions described in preceding clause (x) shall have been
taken.

         DBTCA and BA reserve the right, prior to or after execution of the
definitive credit documentation, to syndicate all or part of their commitment
hereunder to one or more other Lenders that will become party to such
definitive credit documentation pursuant to a syndication to be managed by the
Agents. You agree that, upon delivery to DBTCA and/or BA by another Lender
(which is a reputable fund or financial institution) of a commitment letter for
all or a portion of the Senior Secured Financing containing terms no less
favorable to the Borrower than the terms hereof, DBTCA and/or BA shall be fully
relieved of their respective obligations hereunder to the extent of, and in
proportion with, their respective commitments set forth in such commitment
letter (unless otherwise agreed by DBTCA and BA). All aspects of the
syndication, including, without limitation, timing, potential syndicate members
to be approached, titles, allocations and division of fees, shall be determined
by the Agents. You agree to actively assist the Agents in such syndication,
including by using your commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the
syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending relationships
and to provide the Agents and the Lenders, promptly upon request, with all
information reasonably deemed necessary by the Agents to complete successfully
the syndication, including, but not limited to, (a) an information package for
delivery to potential syndicate members and participants and (b) projections
and all information prepared by you or your affiliates or advisors relating to
the transactions described herein. You also agree to make available your
representatives and the senior officers and representatives of Holdings and the
Borrower, in each case from time to time and to attend and make presentations
regarding the business and prospects of Holdings and the Borrower and their
respective subsidiaries at a meeting or meetings of Lenders or prospective
Lenders. You and your affiliates shall each agree to refrain, and to cause
Holdings and its subsidiaries to refrain, from any other debt financings
(including refinancings and renewals of debt, but excluding the Refinancing)
during the syndication process unless otherwise agreed to by the Agents. You
further agree to make your officers and representatives, and to cause officers
and representatives of Holdings and its subsidiaries to be, available to
participate in information meetings for potential syndicate members at such
times and places as the Agents may reasonably request.

         You represent, warrant and covenant that to the best of your knowledge
(i) no written information which has been or is hereafter furnished by you or
on your behalf in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii)
no other information given at information meetings for potential syndicate
members and supplied or approved by you (such written information and other
information being referred to herein collectively as the "Information") taken
as a whole contained (or, in the case of Information furnished after the date
hereof, will contain), as of the time it was (or hereafter is) furnished, any
material misstatement of fact or omitted (or will omit) as of such time to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein taken as a
whole not misleading, in the light of the circumstances under which they were
(or hereafter are) made; provided that, with respect to Information consisting
of statements, estimates and projections regarding the future performance of
Holdings and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Projections"), no
representation, warranty or covenant is made other than that the Projections
have been (and, in the case of Projections furnished after the date hereof,
will be) prepared in good


                                    EX. E-5

<PAGE>

faith based on assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time of preparation
thereof. You agree to supplement the Information and the Projections from time
to time until the date of the initial borrowing under the Senior Secured
Financing, as appropriate, so that the representations and warranties in the
preceding sentence remain correct. You understand that, in syndicating the
Senior Secured Financing, the Agents will use and rely on the Information and
the Projections without independent verification thereof.

         As you are aware, each of DB's and BA's commitments hereunder are
subject to (a) there not occurring or becoming known to the Agents any
condition or circumstance which has had, or could reasonably be expected to
have, a material adverse effect on the Transaction or on the property, assets,
nature of assets, operations, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise)
or prospects of the Borrower or Holdings and its subsidiaries taken as a whole
(each, a "Material Adverse Effect"), (b) the Agents not becoming aware (whether
as a result of their due diligence analyses and reviews or otherwise) after the
date hereof of any information not previously known to the Agents which either
Agent believes is materially negative information with respect to the
Transaction or the business, property, assets, nature of assets, operations,
liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower or
Holdings and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, or which is inconsistent in a
material and adverse manner with any such information or other matter disclosed
to the Agents prior to the date hereof, (c) there not having occurred, a
material disruption of or, after the date hereof, a material adverse change in
financial, banking or capital market conditions that, in either Agent's
reasonable judgment, could materially impair the syndication of the Senior
Secured Financing, (d) each Agent's reasonable satisfaction that prior to and
during the syndication of the Senior Secured Financing there shall be no
competing offering, placement or arrangement of any debt securities or bank
financing by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates
and (e) the other conditions set forth or referred to herein or in the Term
Sheet.

         To induce us to issue this letter and to proceed with the
documentation of the proposed financing, you hereby jointly and severally agree
that all of our and our affiliates' fees and expenses (including the reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and consultants) arising in connection with this
letter and in connection with the Transaction and other transactions described
herein (including in connection with our due diligence and syndication efforts)
shall be for your joint and several account (and that you shall from time to
time upon request from any Agent (as defined in the immediately succeeding
sentence) reimburse it and its affiliates for all such fees and expenses paid
by them), whether or not the Senior Secured Financing is made available or
definitive credit documents are executed. You further agree to indemnify and
hold harmless each Agent (which, for purposes of this paragraph, shall be
defined to include any other agent or co-agent designated by the Agents with
respect to the Senior Secured Financing), each Lender (including, in any event,
DBTCA and BA) and their respective affiliates and each director, officer,
employee, representative and agent thereof (each, an "indemnified person") from
and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings (including any
investigations or inquiries), claims, losses, damages, liabilities or expenses
of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be incurred by or asserted against
or involve any Agent or Lender or any other such indemnified person as a result
of or arising out of or in any way related to or resulting from this letter
and, upon demand, to pay and reimburse each Agent, each Lender and each other
indemnified person for any reasonable legal or other out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any
such action, suit, proceeding (including


                                    EX. E-6

<PAGE>

any inquiry or investigation) or claim (whether or not any Agent or Lender or
any other such person is a party to any action or proceeding out of which any
such expenses arise); provided, however, that you shall not have to indemnify
any indemnified person against any loss, claim, damage, expense or liability to
the extent same resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the
respective indemnified person (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment). This letter and the Term
Sheet (collectively, the "Commitment Letter") is issued for your benefit only
and no other person or entity may rely thereon. Neither the Agents nor any
other indemnified person shall be responsible or liable to you or any other
person for (x) any determination made by it pursuant to this letter in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such person
(as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable judgment) or (y) any consequential damages which may be alleged
as a result of this letter or the financing contemplated hereby.

         Each of us reserves the right to employ the services of our affiliates
(including, in the case of DB, Deutsche Bank AG) in providing services
contemplated by this letter and to allocate, in whole or in part, to our
affiliates certain fees payable to us in such manner as we and our affiliates
may agree in our sole discretion. You also agree that we may at any time and
from time to time assign all or any portion of our commitments hereunder to one
or more of our affiliates. You further acknowledge that we may share with any
of our affiliates, and such affiliates may share with us, any information
related to the Transaction, Holdings, the Borrower, the Sponsors (and your and
their respective subsidiaries and affiliates), or any of the matters
contemplated hereby. Each of us agrees to treat, and cause any of our
affiliates to treat, all non-public information provided to it by the Sponsors,
Holdings and the Borrower as confidential information in accordance with
customary banking industry practices.

         You agree that this Commitment Letter is for your confidential use
only and that neither its existence nor the terms hereof will be disclosed by
you to any person other than your officers, directors, employees, accountants,
attorneys and other advisors, and then only on a "need to know" basis in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential
basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you shall be permitted to furnish a copy
hereof to (x) Holdings and existing shareholders and existing creditors of
Holdings and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Sellers") and their advisors
in connection with the proposed Transaction and (y) the United States
Bankruptcy Court having jurisdiction over the Transaction in connection with a
proposed Plan and, following your acceptance of the provisions hereof and your
return of an executed counterpart of this Commitment Letter and the related Fee
Letter to us as provided below, (i) you may make public disclosure of the
existence and amount of the commitments hereunder and of the identity of the
Agents, (ii) you may file a copy of this Commitment Letter (but not the Fee
Letter) in any public record in which it is required by law to be filed and
(iii) you may make such other public disclosure of the terms and conditions
hereof as, and to the extent, you are required by law, in the opinion of your
counsel, to make. Except as otherwise required by law or unless the Agents have
otherwise consented, you are not authorized prior to your acceptance of this
letter as provided below to show or circulate this letter to any other person
or entity (other than your legal or financial advisors in connection with your
evaluation hereof). If this letter is not accepted by you as provided below,
please immediately return this letter (and any copies hereof) to the
undersigned.


                                    EX. E-7

         The provisions of the three immediately preceding paragraphs shall
survive any termination of this letter.

         This Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (and your rights and
obligations hereunder and thereunder) shall not be assignable by you to any
person or entity without the prior written consent of each Agent (and any
purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void). This
Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter may not be amended or waived except by an
instrument in writing signed by you and us. Each of this Commitment Letter and
the Fee Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute
one agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Commitment Letter
or the Fee Letter by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart hereof or thereof, as the case may be. This
Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This Commitment Letter and
the Fee Letter sets forth the entire agreement between the parties as to the
matters set forth herein and supersedes all prior communications, written or
oral, with respect to the matters herein.

         EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY
WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM, ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE FEE LETTER. YOU HEREBY SUBMIT TO
THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL AND NEW YORK STATE COURTS LOCATED
IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE RELATED TO THIS
COMMITMENT LETTER, THE FEE LETTER OR ANY MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.

         Our willingness, and commitments, with respect to the Senior Secured
Financing as set forth above will terminate on the earlier to occur of (x) May
15, 2002, unless on or prior to such date Holdings shall have filed pursuant to
the Bankruptcy Code its "pre-arranged" Plan (which shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Agents), (y) the occurrence of an event of
default (or similar defined term) under the DIP Credit Facility (without giving
effect to any waiver, amendment or consent in respect of (or prior to the
occurrence of) any such event of default) or (z) August 15, 2002, unless on or
prior to such date the Transaction has been consummated and a definitive credit
agreement evidencing the Senior Secured Financing, satisfactory in form and
substance to the Agents (the "Credit Agreement") shall have been entered into
and the initial borrowings shall have occurred thereunder.

         This letter replaces and supersedes our previous Commitment Letter to
you, dated January 25, 2002, concerning the Transaction, except with respect to
the confidentiality, indemnification and expense reimbursement provisions
referred to therein, each of which shall survive in accordance with the terms
and conditions thereof.

                           the Term Loan Facility, the "Credit
                           Facilities").

A.       Term Loan Facility


Use of
Proceeds:         The loans made pursuant to the Term Loan Facility (the
                  "Term Loans") may only be incurred on the date of the
                  effectiveness of the Plan (the "Closing Date"), and the
                  proceeds thereof shall be used solely to finance, in
                  part, the Transaction and to pay fees and expenses in
                  connection with the Transaction.

Maturity:         The final maturity of the Term Loan Facility shall be

                  shall be utilized for the working capital, capital
                  expenditures and general corporate purposes set forth
                  in the Credit Agreement and determined to the
                  satisfaction of the Agents and the Required Lenders (as
                  defined below), provided that (i) no portion of the
                  Revolving Loan Facility (other than an amount not to
                  exceed the Seller Note Repayment Amount) may be
                  utilized to pay amounts owing pursuant to the Plan or
                  to pay any fees and expenses incurred in connection
                  with the Transaction (it being understood and agreed
                  that letters of credit under the Revolving Loan
                  Facility may be issued on the Closing Date to support
                  the obligations of the Borrower and its subsidiaries in
                  respect of the Seller Notes) and (ii) no portion of the
                  Revolving Loan Facility may be utilized on or after the
                  Closing Date to pay any portion of any taxes that are
                  due or become due with respect to "built-in-gains" in
                  assets acquired, directly or indirectly from any entity
                  treated as a corporation (other than as a "S"
                  corporation) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A
                  portion to be negotiated of the Revolving Loan Facility
                  will be available for the issuance of stand-by and
                  trade letters of credit ("Letters of Credit") to
                  support obligations of the Borrower and its
                  subsidiaries satisfactory to the Agents and the
                  Required Lenders. Maturities for Letters of Credit will
                  not exceed twelve months, renewable annually thereafter
                  and, in any event, shall not extend beyond the tenth
                  business day prior to the Revolving Loan Maturity Date
                  (as defined below).

Maturity:         The final maturity of the Revolving Loan Facility shall
                  be 5 years from the Closing Date (the "Revolving Loan
                  Maturity Date").

Availability:     Revolving Loans may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed
                  on and after the Closing Date and prior to the
                  Revolving Loan Maturity Date in accordance with the
                  terms of the definitive credit documentation governing
                  the Credit Facilities.

                  than the Borrower) (each, a "Guarantor" and,
                  collectively, the "Guarantors") shall be required to
                  provide an unconditional guaranty of all amounts owing
                  under the Senior Secured Financing (the "Guaranties").
                  Such guarantees shall be in form and substance
                  satisfactory to the Agents and shall, to the extent
                  requested by the Agents, also guarantee the Borrower's
                  and its subsidiaries' obligations under interest rate
                  swaps/foreign currency swaps or similar agreements with
                  a Lender or its affiliates. All guarantees shall be
                  guarantees of payment and not of collection.
                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
                  above, non-U.S. subsidiaries of the Borrower shall not
                  be required to provide guarantees (and shall not
                  constitute Guarantors) so long as the furnishing of
                  such guarantees gives rise to material adverse tax
                  consequences to the Borrower.

                  The Guaranties shall contain terms and conditions
                  satisfactory to the Agents and customary for
                  transactions of this type.

Security:         All amounts owing under the Senior Secured Financing
                  (and all obligations under the Guaranties) will be
                  secured by (x) a first priority perfected security
                  interest in all stock, equity interests and promissory
                  notes owned by the Borrower and the Guarantors,
                  provided that not more than 65% of the total
                  outstanding voting stock of any non-U.S. subsidiary of
                  the Borrower shall be required to be pledged if the
                  pledging thereof would give rise to material adverse
                  tax consequences to the Borrower and (y) a first
                  priority perfected security interest in all other
                  tangible and intangible assets (including receivables,
                  contract rights, securities, patents, trademarks, other
                  intellectual property, inventory, equipment, real
                  estate and leasehold interests) owned by the Borrower
                  and each Guarantor, subject (in each case) to
                  exceptions satisfactory to the Agents.

                  All documentation (collectively referred to herein as
                  the "Security Agreements") evidencing the security
                  required pursuant to the immediately preceding
                  paragraph shall be in form and substance satisfactory
                  to the Agents, and shall effectively create first
                  priority security interests in the property purported
                  to be covered thereby, with such exceptions as are
                  acceptable to the Agents in their reasonable
                  discretion.

Optional Commit-
ment Reductions:  The unutilized portion of the total commitments may,
                  upon three business days' notice, be reduced or
                  terminated by the Borrower without penalty in minimum
                  amounts to be agreed.

Voluntary
Prepayments:      Voluntary prepayments may be made at any time on three
                  business days' notice in the case of Eurodollar Loans,
                  or one business day's notice in the case of Base Rate
                  Loans, without premium or penalty, in minimum principal
                  amounts to be agreed; provided that voluntary

<PAGE>

                  prepayments of Eurodollar Loans made on a date other
                  than the last day of an interest period applicable
                  thereto shall be subject to customary breakage costs.
                  Voluntary prepayments of Term Loans shall apply to
                  reduce future scheduled amortization payments of the
                  Term Loans being prepaid in a manner to be determined.

Mandatory
Repayments:       Mandatory repayments of Term Loans shall be required
                  from (a) 100% of the proceeds (net of (i) taxes and
                  costs and expenses in connection with the sale and (ii)
                  the amount of cash necessary to (subject to the
                  limitation on dividends referred to in the section
                  entitled "Covenants" below) be distributed as a result
                  of such asset sale in connection with the maintenance
                  of the REIT (as defined in the Code (as defined in the
                  Securities Purchase Agreement)) status of Holdings and
                  its subsidiaries) from asset sales by Holdings and its
                  subsidiaries (subject to reinvestment exceptions to be
                  negotiated), (b) 100% of the net proceeds from
                  issuances of debt (with appropriate exceptions to be
                  mutually agreed upon) by Holdings and its subsidiaries,
                  (c) 100% of the net proceeds from issuances of equity
                  by, or capital contributions to Holdings and its
                  subsidiaries (with appropriate exceptions to be
                  mutually agreed upon), (d) 75% (subject to a step-down
                  to 50% based on meeting a leverage test to be agreed
                  upon and so long as no default or event of default
                  under the Credit Facilities is in existence) of annual
                  excess cash flow (to be defined to the satisfaction of
                  the Agents) of Holdings and its subsidiaries (it being
                  understood and agreed that the definition of excess
                  cash flow shall be defined to exclude the amount of
                  cash necessary to (subject to the limitation on
                  dividends referred to in the section entitled
                  "Covenants" below) be distributed in connection with
                  the maintenance of the REIT status of Holdings and its
                  subsidiaries) and (e) 100% of the net proceeds from
                  insurance recovery and condemnation events of Holdings
                  and its subsidiaries (subject to certain reinvestment
                  rights to be negotiated).

                  All mandatory repayments of Term Loans made pursuant to
                  clauses (a)-(e) above shall apply to reduce future
                  scheduled amortization payments of the Term Loans being
                  repaid pro rata based upon the then remaining amounts
                  of such payments. To the extent the amount of any
                  mandatory repayment which would otherwise be required
                  as provided above exceeds the aggregate principal
                  amount of Term Loans then outstanding, such excess
                  shall apply to reduce the commitments under the
                  Revolving Loan Facility. In addition, (i) if at any
                  time the outstandings pursuant to the Revolving Loan
                  Facility (including Letter of Credit outstandings)
                  exceed the aggregate commitments with respect thereto,
                  prepayments of Revolving Loans (and/or the cash
                  collateralization of Letters of Credit) shall be
                  required in an amount equal to such excess and (ii)
                  upon the occurrence of a change of control (to be
                  defined), all commitments under the Credit Facilities
                  shall terminate and all outstanding Loans shall become
                  due and payable.

                  discretion that the primary syndication has been
                  completed, Eurodollar Loans shall be restricted to a
                  single one month Interest Period at all times, with the
                  first such Interest Period to begin not sooner than 3
                  business days after the Closing Date and with any
                  subsequent Interest Periods to begin on the last day of
                  the prior one month Interest Period theretofore in
                  effect.

                  Facilities, the Applicable Margin on the Revolving
                  Loans and the Term Loans shall be subject to one
                  step-down to be determined (but, in any event, not
                  commencing until the delivery of the Borrower's
                  financial statements in respect of its first fiscal
                  quarter ending at least one year after the Closing

                  banks, capital adequacy, increased costs, reserves,

                  that charges a material amount in excess of that being
                  charged by the other Lenders with respect to
                  contingencies described in the immediately preceding
                  sentence.

                  stated amount of all Letters of Credit for the stated
                  duration thereof. Letter of Credit Fees and Facing Fees
                  shall be payable quarterly in arrears. In addition, the
                  issuer of a Letter of Credit will be paid its customary
                  administrative charges in connection with Letters of
                  Credit issued by it.

                  (x) in the case of participations, to customary
                  restrictions on the voting rights of the participants
                  and (y) in the case of assignments, to such limitations
                  as may be established by the Administrative Agent
                  (including (i) a minimum assignment amount to be
                  established by the Administrative Agent (or, if less,

                  outstanding Loans at such time), (ii) an assignment fee

                  The Senior Secured Financing shall provide for a
                  mechanism which will allow for each assignee to become
                  a direct signatory to the Senior Secured Financing and
                  will relieve the assigning Lender of its obligations
                  with respect to the assigned portion of its commitment.

Documentation;
Governing Law:    The Lenders' commitments will be subject to the
                  negotiation, execution and delivery of definitive

                  internal laws of the State of New York.

                  to the Bankruptcy Code its "pre-arranged" Plan (which
                  shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the
                  Agents), (y) the occurrence of an event of default (or
                  similar defined term) under the DIP Credit Facility
                  (without giving effect to any waiver, amendment or
                  consent in respect of (or prior to the occurrence of)
                  any such event of default) or (z) August 15, 2002
                  unless definitive documentation with respect to the

                  borrowings under the Credit Facilities have occurred.

Precedent:        Those conditions precedent that are usual and customary
                  for these types of facilities, and such additional
                  conditions precedent as are appropriate under the

to be granted hereunder to Participants;

                     (3)   to determine the number of Shares to be covered by

                     (4)   to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of each Option granted hereunder;

                     (5)   to determine the terms and conditions, not
inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, which shall govern all written

persons, including the Company and the Participants. No member of the Board or

permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company in respect

SECTION 4. SHARES RESERVED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER THE PLAN.

                  (a)      Subject to Section 5 hereof, the total number of
shares of New Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan
shall be equal to _______ Shares. Such Shares may consist, in whole or in part,
of authorized and unissued Shares or treasury shares. From and after the date
that the Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Code, the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which Options may be
granted to any individual Optionee during the Company's fiscal year shall not
exceed [ ]. If an Option previously granted to any individual Optionee is
canceled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted, the
canceled option will be counted against the limitation described in the
immediately preceding sentence of this Section 4(a).

                  (b)      To the extent that an Option expires or is otherwise
canceled or terminated without being exercised, the Shares covered by such
Option shall again be available for issuance in connection with future Options
granted under the Plan.

SECTION 5. EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENTS.

         In the event of any Change in Capitalization, an equitable substitution
or proportionate adjustment shall be made in (i) the aggregate number and/or
kind of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan, and (ii)
the kind, number and/or option price of shares of stock or other property
subject to outstanding Options granted under the Plan, in each case as may be
determined by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Such other equitable
substitutions or adjustments shall be made as may be determined by the
Administrator, in its sole discretion. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, in connection with a Change in Capitalization, the Administrator may
provide, in its sole discretion, for the cancellation of any outstanding Option
in exchange for payment in cash or other property of the Fair Market Value of
the Shares covered by such Options, reduced by the exercise price thereof.

SECTION 6. ELIGIBILITY.

         The Participants under the Plan shall be selected from time to time by
the Administrator, in its sole discretion, from among Eligible Recipients. The
Administrator shall have the authority to grant Options to any Eligible
Recipient.

SECTION 7. OPTIONS.

                  (a)      General. Participants who are granted Options shall
enter into an Option Agreement with the Company, in such form as the
Administrator shall determine, which Option Agreement shall set forth, among
other things, the Exercise Price of the Option, the term of the Option and
provisions regarding exercisability of the Option granted thereunder. Each
Option shall be clearly identified in the applicable Option Agreement as either
an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock Option. The provisions of each
Option need not be the same with respect to each Participant. More than


                                    Ex. F-5
<PAGE>

one Option may be granted to the same Participant and be outstanding
concurrently hereunder. Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in paragraphs (b)-(k) of this Section 7 and shall
contain such additional terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of
the Plan, as the Administrator shall deem desirable.

                  (b)      Exercise Price. The per share Exercise Price of
Shares purchasable under an Option shall be determined by the Administrator in
its sole discretion at the time of grant but shall generally not be less than
100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on such date; provided, however, that in
the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Exercise Price shall in no event be
less than the Fair Market Value per Share at the time of grant.

                  (c)      Option Term. The term of each Option shall be fixed
by the Administrator, but no Option shall be exercisable more than ten years
after the date such Option is granted.

                  (d)      Exercisability. Options shall be exercisable at such
time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including the attainment
of preestablished corporate performance goals, as shall be determined by the
Administrator in the Option Agreement. The Administrator may also provide that
any Option shall be exercisable only in installments, and the Administrator may
waive such installment exercise provisions at any time, in whole or in part,
based on such factors as the Administrator may determine in its sole discretion.

                  (e)      Method of Exercise. Options may be exercised in whole
or in part by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the
number of Shares to be purchased, accompanied by payment in full of the
aggregate Exercise Price of the Shares so purchased in cash or its equivalent,
as determined by the Administrator. As determined by the Administrator, in its
sole discretion, payment in whole or in part may also be made (1) by means of
any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Administrator (including the
withholding of Shares otherwise issuable upon exercise), (2) in the form of
unrestricted Shares already owned by the Optionee which, (x) in the case of
unrestricted Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the
Optionee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (y) have a Fair
Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate option price of the
Shares as to which such Option shall be exercised.

                  (f)      Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. To the extent
that the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of New Common Stock with respect
to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by an
Optionee during any calendar year under the Plan and any other stock option plan
of the Company shall exceed $100,000, such Options shall be treated as
Nonqualified Stock Options. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the
date on which each such Incentive Stock Option is granted. No Incentive Stock
Option may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant,
such individual owns (or is deemed to own under the Code) stock possessing more
than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company unless (1) the Exercise Price of such Incentive Stock Option is at least
110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of New Common Stock at the time such
Incentive Stock


                                    Ex. F-6
<PAGE>

Option is granted and (2) such Incentive Stock Option is not exercisable after
the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Stock Option is
granted.

                  (g)      Rights as Stockholder. An Optionee shall have no
rights to dividends or any other rights of a stockholder with respect to the
Shares subject to an Option until the Optionee has given written notice of
exercise, has paid in full for such Shares, has satisfied the requirements of
Section 10 hereof and, if requested, has given the representation described in
paragraph (b) of Section 11 hereof.

                  (h)      Transfers of Options. Except as otherwise determined
by the Administrator, and in any event in the case of an Incentive Stock Option,
no Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by an Optionee otherwise
than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Unless otherwise
determined by the Administrator in accord with the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence, an Option may be exercised, during the lifetime of the
Optionee, only by the Optionee or, during the period the Optionee is under a
legal disability, by the Optionee's guardian or legal representative.

                  (i)      Termination of Employment.

                     (1)   Unless the applicable Option Agreement provides
otherwise, in the event that the employment of an Optionee with the Company or a
Subsidiary shall terminate for any reason other than Cause, Retirement,
Disability, or death, (A) Options granted to such Optionee, to the extent that
they are exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable
until the date that is 90 days after such termination, on which date they shall
expire, and (B) Options granted to such Optionee, to the extent that they were
not exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of
business on the date of such termination. The 90-day period described in this
Section 7(i)(1) shall be extended to one year after the date of such termination
in the event of the Optionee's death during such 90-day period. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

                     (2)   Unless the applicable Option Agreement provides
otherwise, in the event that the employment of an Optionee with the Company or a
Subsidiary shall terminate on account of the Retirement, Disability, or death of
the Optionee, (A) Options granted to such Optionee, to the extent that they were
exercisable at the time of such termination, shall remain exercisable until the
date that is one year after such termination, on which date they shall expire
and (B) Options granted to such Optionee, to the extent that they were not
exercisable at the time of such termination, shall expire at the close of
business on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Option shall be exercisable after the expiration of its term.

                     (3)   In the event of the termination of an Optionee's
employment for Cause, all outstanding Options granted to such Optionee shall
expire at the commencement of business on the date of such termination.

                  (j)      Other Change in Employment Status. An Option shall be
affected, both with regard to vesting schedule and termination, by leaves of
absence, changes from full-time to part-time employment, partial disability or
other changes in the employment status of an Optionee, in the discretion of the
Administrator. The


                                    Ex. F-7
<PAGE>

Administrator shall follow the written policy of the Company (if any) as it may
be in effect from time to time, with regard to such matters.

                  (k)      Acceleration Upon Change in Control. In the event of
a Change in Control, that portion of an Optionee's outstanding Options that are
not then vested and/or exercisable shall become fully vested and exercisable as
of the date of such Change in Control.

SECTION 8. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

         The Board may amend, alter or discontinue the Plan, but no amendment,
alteration, or discontinuation shall be made that would impair the rights of a
Participant under any Option theretofore granted without such Participant's
consent. Unless the Board determines otherwise, the Board shall obtain approval
of the Company's stockholders for any amendment that would require such approval
in order to satisfy the requirements of section 162(m) of the Code, stock
exchange rules or other applicable law. The Administrator may amend the terms of
any Option theretofore granted, prospectively or retroactively, but, subject to
Section 5 of Plan, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant

SECTION 9. UNFUNDED STATUS OF PLAN.

         The Plan is intended to constitute an "unfunded" plan for incentive
compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant by the
Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Participant any rights
that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

SECTION 10. WITHHOLDING TAXES.

         Whenever cash is to be paid pursuant to an Option, the Company shall
have the right to deduct therefrom an amount sufficient to satisfy any federal,
state and local withholding tax requirements related thereto. Whenever Shares
are to be delivered pursuant to an Option, the Company shall have the right to
require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to
satisfy any federal, state and local withholding tax requirements related
thereto. With the approval of the Administrator, a Participant may satisfy the
foregoing requirement by electing to have the Company withhold from delivery
Shares or by delivering already owned unrestricted Shares, in each case, having
a value equal to the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld. Such shares
shall be valued at their Fair Market Value on the date of which the amount of
tax to be withheld is determined. Fractional share amounts shall be settled in
cash. Such a election may be made with respect to all or any portion of the
shares to be delivered pursuant to an Option.

SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS.

                  (a)      Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise
of any Option granted hereunder unless the exercise of such Option and the
issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all
relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, the Exchange Act and the


                                    Ex. F-8
<PAGE>

requirements of any stock exchange upon which the New Common Stock may then be
listed, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company
with respect to such compliance.

                  (b)      The Administrator may require each person acquiring
Shares to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that such person is
acquiring the Shares without a view to distribution thereof. The certificates
for such Shares may include any legend that the Administrator deems appropriate
to reflect any restrictions on transfer.

                  (c)      All certificates for Shares delivered under the Plan
shall be subject to such stock-transfer orders and other restrictions as the
Administrator may deem advisable under the rules, regulations, and other
requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, any stock exchange upon
which the New Common Stock may then be listed, and any applicable federal or
state securities law, and the Administrator may cause a legend or legends to be
placed on any such certificates to make appropriate reference to such
restrictions.

                  (d)      The adoption of the Plan shall not confer upon any
Eligible Recipient any right to continued employment or service with the Company
or Subsidiary, as the case may be, nor shall it interfere in any way with the
right of the Company or Subsidiary to terminate the employment or service of any
of its Eligible Recipients at any time.

SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE OF PLAN.

         The effective date of the Plan shall be the Effective Date, subject to
the approval of the Company's stockholders within twelve months before or after
such date.

SECTION 13. TERM OF PLAN.

         No Option shall be granted pursuant to the Plan on or after the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date, but Options theretofore granted may extend
beyond that date.

Persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for Common Stock
shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in Section 5.3 shall be deemed
to have become the holder or holders of record thereof.

                  5.3      Delivery Of Certificates, Etc.

                           (a) As promptly as practicable after the exercise of
any Warrant, and in any event within five (5) Business Days thereafter (or, if
such exercise is in connection with an underwritten Public Offering,
concurrently with such exercise), the Company at its expense (other than as to
payment of transfer taxes which will be paid by the holder) will cause to be
issued and delivered to such holder, or as such holder may otherwise direct in
writing (subject to Article 13),

                                    (i) a certificate or certificates for the
number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder is entitled, and

                                    (ii)if less than all the Warrants
represented by a Warrant Certificate are exercised, a new Warrant Certificate or
Warrant Certificates of the same tenor and for the aggregate number of Warrants
that were not exercised, executed, and countersigned in accordance with Sections
2.4 and 2.5.

                           (b) The Warrant Agent shall countersign any new
Warrant Certificate, register it in such name or names as may be directed in
writing by such holder, and shall deliver it to the person entitled to receive
the same in accordance with this Section 5.3. The Company, whenever required by
the Warrant Agent, will supply the Warrant Agent with Warrant Certificates
executed on behalf of the Company for such purpose.

                  5.4      Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common
Stock shall be issued upon any exercise of Warrants. If more than one Warrant
Certificate shall be delivered for exercise at one time by the same holder, the
number of full shares or securities that shall be issuable upon exercise shall
be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants exercised. As to
any fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall pay a cash adjustment
in respect thereto in an amount equal to


                                    Ex. G-6
<PAGE>

the product of the Fair Value per share of Common Stock as of the Business Day
next preceding the date of such exercise multiplied by such fraction of a share.

                                   ARTICLE VI

            ADJUSTMENT OF THE AMOUNT OF COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE AND THE
                          EXERCISE PRICE UPON EXERCISE

                  6.1      Stock Dividends, Split-ups, And Combinations Of
Shares. If after the date hereof the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock is increased by a dividend, share distribution, or split up, in each case
payable in shares of Common Stock, or if the number of outstanding shares of
Common Stock is combined into a smaller number of such shares or in the event of
any other reclassification of shares of Common Stock (other than a
reclassification in connection with a merger, consolidation, or other business
combination which will be governed by Section 6.4), then the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Warrant immediately after the
occurrence of any such event shall be adjusted so that the holder of each
Warrant shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company which such holder would have been entitled to receive upon
the occurrence of such event had such Warrant been exercised immediately prior
thereto or any record date with respect thereto (with any record date
requirement being deemed to have been satisfied). Any adjustment made pursuant
to this Section 6.1 shall become effective immediately after the effective date
of such event retroactive to the record date, if any, for such event.

                  6.2      Distributions. If after the date hereof the Company
shall distribute to all holders of its shares of Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (excluding all cash distributions and all other
distributions determined by the Board of Directors of the Company in its sole
discretion to be necessary or appropriate to permit the Company's continued
qualification as a "real estate investment trust") or rights to subscribe to
shares of Common Stock expiring more than 45 days after the issuance thereof,
then in each such case the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such
distribution shall be decreased to an amount determined by multiplying such
Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Fair Value of a
share of the Common Stock at the date of such distribution less the Fair Value
per share of Common Stock outstanding at such date of the assets or evidences of
indebtedness so distributed or of such subscription rights (as determined by the
board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive, and
described in a statement filed with the Warrant Agent) and the denominator of
which is the Fair Value of a share of Common Stock at such date. Such adjustment
shall be made whenever any such distribution is made, and shall become effective
retroactively on the date immediately after the record date for the
determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.

                  6.3      Exercise Price Adjustment. Whenever the number of
shares of Common Stock into which a Warrant is exercisable is adjusted as
provided in this Article 6, then the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the
Warrant shall simultaneously be adjusted by multiplying such Exercise Price
immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction, the numerator of which shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock into


                                    Ex. G-7
<PAGE>

which such Warrant was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment, and the
denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock into which
such Warrant was exercisable immediately thereafter.

                  6.4      Adjustments For Mergers And Consolidations. In case
the Company, after the date hereof, shall merge or consolidate with another
Person, then, in the case of any such transaction, proper provision shall be
made so that, upon the basis and terms and in the manner provided in this
Warrant Agreement, the holders of the Warrants, upon the exercise thereof at any
time after the consummation of such transaction (subject to the Exercise
Period), shall at the election of the Company made prior to the consummation of
such transaction be entitled to receive (at the aggregate Exercise Price in
effect at the time of the transaction for all Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise immediately prior to such consummation), in lieu of the Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise prior to such consummation, either (a) the amount of
securities, cash, or other property to which such holder would have been
entitled as a holder of Common Stock upon such consummation if such holder had
exercised the rights represented by the Warrants held by such holder immediately
prior thereto (which in the case of a transaction in which stockholders may
elect to receive different consideration shall be deemed to be the consideration
received by stockholders who fail to make an election), subject to adjustments
(subsequent to such consummation) as nearly equivalent as possible to the
adjustments provided for in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, or (b) the excess, if
any, of the Fair Value of all Common Stock) issuable upon such exercise
immediately prior to such consummation over the aggregate Exercise Price in
effect at the time of such consummation, payable in cash promptly following such
consummation. In the event that the Company makes the election provided for in
clause (b) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Warrants shall expire upon
consummation of such transaction.

                  6.5      Calculation To Nearest Cent And One-hundredth Of
Share. All calculations under this Article 6 shall be made to the nearest cent
or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.

                  6.6      Notice Of Adjustment In Exercise Price. Whenever the
Exercise Price and securities issuable shall be adjusted as provided in this
Article 6, the Company shall forthwith file with the Warrant Agent a statement,
signed by the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, the President,
or any Vice President of the Company and by its Treasurer or an Assistant
Treasurer or its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, stating in detail the
facts requiring such adjustment, the Exercise Price that will be effective after
such adjustment and the impact of such adjustment on the number and kind of
securities issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The Company shall also cause
a notice setting forth any such adjustments to be sent by mail, first class,
postage prepaid, to each registered holder of Warrants at its address appearing
on the Warrant register. The Warrant Agent shall have no duty with respect to
any statement filed with it except to keep the same on file and available for
inspection by registered holders of Warrants during reasonable business hours.
The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to
any holder of a Warrant to determine whether any facts exist which may require
any adjustment to the Exercise Price or securities issuable, or with


                                    Ex. G-8
<PAGE>

respect to the nature or extent of any adjustment of the Exercise Price or
securities issuable when made or with respect to the method employed in making
such adjustment.

                  6.7      Other Notices. In case the Company after the date
hereof shall propose to take any action of the type described in Sections 6.1,
6.2, or 6.3 of this Article 6, the Company shall give notice to the Warrant
Agent and to each registered holder of a Warrant in the manner set forth in
Section 6.6 of this Article 6, which notice shall specify, in the case of action
of the type specified in Section 6.2 or 6.3, the date on which a record shall be
taken with respect to any such action. Such notice shall be given, in the case
of any action of the type specified in Section 6.2 or 6.3, at least ten (10)
days prior to the record date with respect thereto. Failure to give such notice,
or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of any such
action. Where appropriate, such notice may be given in advance and may be
included as part of a notice required to be mailed under the provisions of
Section 6.6 of this Article 6.

                  6.8      No Change In Warrant Terms On Adjustment: No
Adjustment for Distributions under the Plan. Irrespective of any adjustments in
the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise, Warrants theretofore or thereafter issued may continue to express the
same prices and number of shares as are stated in the similar Warrants issuable
initially, or at some subsequent time, pursuant to this Agreement, and the
Exercise Price and such number of shares issuable upon exercise specified
thereon shall be deemed to have been so adjusted. Without limiting the
foregoing, no adjustment shall be made pursuant to this Article 6 by reason of
(a) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities, including the
Warrants, pursuant to the Plan, (b) the issuance of any stock options issued
pursuant to or as permitted by the Plan, (c) the issuance or sale by the Company
of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any stock options or
Warrants; or (d) the issuance of shares of Common Stock for consideration
consisting in cash or property in whole or in part.

                  6.9      Treasury Shares. Shares of Common Stock at any time
owned by the Company shall not be deemed to be outstanding for the purposes of
any computation under this Article 6.

                                   ARTICLE VII
                           CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, ETC.

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company
will not effect a merger or consolidation unless, prior to the consummation of
such transaction, each Person (other than the Company) which may be required to
deliver any Common Stock, securities, cash, or property upon the exercise of
this Warrant as provided herein shall assume, by written instrument delivered to
the Warrant Agent, the obligations of the Company under this Warrant Agreement
and under each of the Warrants, including, without limitation, the obligation to
deliver such shares of Common Stock, cash, or property as may be required
pursuant to Article 6 hereof.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                            NO DILUTION OR IMPAIRMENT

         The Company will not, by amendment of its certificate of incorporation
or through any consolidation, merger, reorganization, transfer of assets,
dissolution, issuance or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action or
omission, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the
terms of this Agreement or any of the Warrants issued hereunder, but will at all
times in good faith observe and perform all such terms and take all such action
as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of each holder of a
Warrant against dilution or other impairment of the kind specified herein,
provided, however, that, subject to compliance with the applicable provisions of
this Agreement, the Company shall not be prohibited by this Article VIII or by
any provision of this Agreement from making decisions providing for, inter alia,
the merger or consolidation of the Company or the sale of its assets which
transactions, in the judgment of the Company's board of directors, are in the
best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Company (a) will not permit the par value of
any shares of stock receivable upon the exercise of any Warrant to exceed the
amount payable therefore upon such exercise, (b) will take all such action as
may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and
legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of stock upon the exercise of
all of the Warrants from time to time outstanding, and (c) will not take any
action that results in any adjustment of the shares issuable upon exercise of
the Warrants (or which entitles the holders of the Warrants to receive upon such
exercise) if the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable after the
action upon the exercise of all of the Warrants would exceed the total number of
shares of Common Stock then authorized by the Company's certificate of
incorporation and available for the purpose of issuance upon such exercise.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                                     REPORTS

         In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will
promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment after giving effect to such in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall prepare a report setting
forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in reasonable detail the
method of calculation thereof and the facts upon which such adjustment or
readjustment is based. The Company will promptly mail a copy of each such report
to the Warrant Agent, which shall promptly mail a copy to each holder of a
Warrant. The Warrant Agent will cause the same to be available for inspection at
its principal office during normal business hours by any holder of a Warrant or
any prospective purchaser of a Warrant designated by the holder thereof.

                         NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN EVENTS

                  10.1     Available Information. The Company shall promptly
file with the Warrant Agent copies of its annual reports and of the information,
documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing
as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company is
required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act.

                                   ARTICLE IX

                              RESERVATION OF STOCK

                  11.1     Reservation; Due Authorization, Etc. The Company
shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out
of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance and delivery
upon exercise of Warrants, the full number of shares of Common Stock from time
to time issuable upon exercise of all Warrants and any other outstanding
warrants, options, or similar rights, from time to time outstanding. All shares
of Common Stock shall be duly authorized and, when issued upon such exercise,
shall be duly and validly issued, and (in the case of shares) fully paid and
nonassessable, and free from all taxes, liens, charges, security interests,
encumbrances, and other restrictions created by or through the Company.

                  11.2     Compliance With Law. The Company will use its best
efforts, at its expense and on a continual basis, to assure that all shares of
Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of Warrants may be so issued and
delivered without violation of any Federal or state securities law or
regulation, or any other law or regulation applicable to the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries; provided, that, with respect to any such exercise involving a
sale or transfer of Warrants or any such securities issuable upon such exercise,
the Company shall have no obligation to register such Warrants or securities
under any such securities law.

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                PAYMENT OF TAXES

         The Company will pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue
taxes payable to the United States of America or any State, or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, in respect of the issuance
or delivery of shares of Common Stock on exercise of Warrants, provided, that
the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect
of any transfer of a Warrant or any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of Common Stock in a name other than that of the registered holder of
the Warrants to be exercised, and no such issuance or delivery shall be made
unless and until the person requesting such issuance has paid to the Company the
amount of any such tax or has established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Company, that such tax has been paid.

                               LOSS OR MUTILATION

         Upon receipt by the Company and the Warrant Agent of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction, or mutilation of any Warrant Certificate and of an indemnity bond
reasonably satisfactory to them in form or amount, and (in the case of
mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation thereof, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Warrant Agent that the Warrants represented thereby
have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and
deliver to the Warrant Agent and, upon the Company's request, an authorized
signatory of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and deliver, to the
registered holder of the lost, stolen, destroyed, or mutilated Warrant
Certificate, in exchange for or in lieu thereof, a new Warrant Certificate of
the same tenor and for a like aggregate number of Warrants. Upon the issuance of
any new Warrant Certificate under this Article 13, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the
reasonable fees and expenses of the Warrant Agent) in connection therewith.
Every new Warrant Certificate executed and delivered pursuant to this Article 13
in lieu of any lost, stolen, or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be entitled
to the same benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and
all other Warrant Certificates, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen or
destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. The
provisions of this Article 13 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights or remedies with respect to the replacement of
mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Warrant Certificates.

                                   ARTICLE XIV

                              WARRANT REGISTRATION

                  14.1     Registration. The Warrant Certificates shall be
issued in registered form only and shall be registered in the names of the
record holders of the Warrant Certificates to whom they are to be delivered. The
Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained a register in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for
the registration of Warrants and of transfers or exchanges of Warrant
Certificates as provided in this Agreement. Such register shall be maintained at
the office of the Company or the Warrant Agent located at the respective address
therefore as provided in Section 17.1. Such register shall be open for
inspection upon notice at all reasonable times by the Warrant Agent and each
holder of a Warrant.

                  14.2     Transfer Or Exchange. Subject to Section 2.1 hereof,
at the option of the holder, Warrant Certificates may be exchanged or
transferred for other Warrant Certificates for a like aggregate number of
Warrants, upon surrender of the Warrant Certificates to be exchanged at the
office of the Company or the Warrant Agent maintained for such purpose at the
respective address therefore as provided in Section 17.1, and upon payment of
the charges herein provided. Whenever any Warrant Certificates are so
surrendered for exchange or transfer, the Company shall execute, and


                                    Ex. G-12
<PAGE>

an authorized signatory of the Warrant Agent shall manually countersign and
deliver, the Warrant Certificates that the holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.

                  14.3     Valid And Enforceable. All Warrant Certificates
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligations,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Warrant
Certificates surrendered for such registration of transfer or exchange.

                  14.4     Endorsement. Every Warrant Certificate surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or
the Warrant Agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by an instrument of
transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent
and duly executed by the registered holder thereof or such holder's officer or
representative duly authorized in writing.

                  14.5     No Service Charge. No service charge shall be made
for any registration of transfer or exchange of Warrant Certificates.

                  14.6     Cancellation. Any Warrant Certificate surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange or the exercise of the Warrants represented
thereby shall, if surrendered to the Company, be delivered to the Warrant Agent,
and all Warrant Certificates surrendered or so delivered to the Warrant Agent
shall be promptly cancelled by the Warrant Agent. Any such Warrant Certificate
shall not be reissued by the Company and, except as provided in this Article 14
in case of an exchange or transfer, in Article 13 in case of a mutilated Warrant
Certificate and in Article 3 in case of the exercise of less than all the
Warrants represented thereby, no Warrant Certificate shall be issued hereunder
in lieu thereof. The Warrant Agent shall deliver to the Company from time to
time or otherwise dispose of such cancelled Warrant Certificates in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

                                   ARTICLE XV

                                  WARRANT AGENT

                  15.1     Obligations Binding. The Warrant Agent undertakes the
duties and obligations imposed by this Agreement upon the terms and conditions
set forth in this Article 15. The Company, and the holders of Warrants by their
acceptance thereof, shall be bound by all of such terms and conditions.

                  15.2     No Liability. The Warrant Agent shall not by
countersigning Warrant Certificates or by any other act hereunder be accountable
with respect to or be deemed to make any representations as to the validity or
authorization of the Warrants or the Warrant Certificates (except as to its
countersignature thereon), as to the validity, authorization, or value (or kind
or amount) of any Common Stock or any other property delivered or deliverable
upon exercise of any Warrant, or as to the purchase price of such Common Stock,
securities, or other property. The Warrant Agent shall not (a) be liable


                                    Ex. G-13
<PAGE>

for any recital or statement of fact contained herein or in the Warrant
Certificates or for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by the Warrant Agent
in good faith in the belief that any Warrant Certificate or any other document
or any signature is genuine or properly authorized, (b) be responsible for
determining whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of the
purchase price and the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon
exercise of Warrants, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustments when made, or with respect to the method of adjustment employed, (c)
be responsible for any failure on the part of the Company to issue, transfer, or
deliver any Common Stock or property upon the surrender of any Warrant for the
purpose of exercise or to comply with any other of the Company's covenants and
obligations contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates, or (d)
be liable for any act or omission in connection with this Agreement except for
its own bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct.

                  15.3     Instructions. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized
to accept instructions with respect to the performance of its duties hereunder
from the Chairman of the Board, Vice Chairman of the Board, President, any Vice
President, Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company, and to apply to
any such officer for advice or instructions. The Warrant Agent shall not be
liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by it in good faith in
accordance with the instructions of any such officer.

                  15.4     Agents. The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise
any of the rights and powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder
either itself or by or through its attorneys, agents, or employees, provided
reasonable care has been exercised in the selection and in the continued
employment of any such attorney, agent, or employee. The Warrant Agent shall not
be under any obligation or duty to institute, appear in, or defend any action,
suit, or legal proceeding in respect hereof, but this provision shall not affect
the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may
consider proper. The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify the Company in writing
of any claim made or action, suit, or proceeding instituted against the Warrant
Agent arising out of or in connection with this Agreement.

                  15.5     Cooperation. The Company will perform, execute,
acknowledge, and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged, and
delivered all such further acts, instruments, and assurances as may reasonably
be required by the Warrant Agent in order to enable the Warrant Agent to carry
out or perform its duties under this Agreement.

                  15.6     Agent Only. The Warrant Agent shall act solely as
agent. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable except for the performance of such
duties as are specifically set forth herein, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Warrant Agent, whose
duties and obligations shall be determined solely by the express provisions
hereof.

                  15.7     Right To Counsel. The Warrant Agent may at any time
consult with legal counsel satisfactory to it (who may be legal counsel for the
Company) and the Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the
Company or to any Warrant


                                    Ex. G-14
<PAGE>

holder for any action taken, suffered, or omitted by the Warrant Agent in good
faith in accordance with the opinion or advice of such counsel.

                  15.8     Compensation. The Company agrees to pay the Warrant
Agent reasonable compensation for its services hereunder and to reimburse the
Warrant Agent for its reasonable expenses hereunder; and further agrees to
indemnify the Warrant Agent and hold it harmless against any and all
liabilities, including, but not limited to, judgments, costs, and reasonable
counsel fees for anything done, suffered, or omitted by the Warrant Agent in the
execution of its duties and powers hereunder, except for any such liabilities
that arise as a result of the Warrant Agent's bad faith, negligence, or willful
misconduct.

                  15.9     Accounting. The Warrant Agent shall account promptly
to the Company with respect to Warrants exercised and concurrently pay to the
Company all moneys received by the Warrant Agent on behalf of the Company on the
purchase of shares of Common Stock through the exercise of Warrants.

                  15.10    No Conflict. The Warrant Agent and any stockholder,
director, officer, or employee of the Warrant Agent may buy, sell, or deal in
any of the Warrants or other securities of the Company or become pecuniarily
interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or
contract with or lend money to the Company 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 the Company or
for any other legal entity.

                  15.11    Resignation; Termination. The Warrant Agent may
resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities
hereunder (except liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's bad
faith, negligence, or willful misconduct), after giving thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to the Company. The Company may remove the Warrant Agent upon
thirty (30) days' written notice, and the Warrant Agent shall thereupon in like
manner be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder, except
as to liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's bad faith,
negligence, or willful misconduct. The Company shall cause to be mailed (by
first class mail, postage prepaid) to each registered holder of a Warrant at
such holder's last address as shown on the register of the Company, at the
Company's expense, a copy of such notice of resignation or notice of removal, as
the case may be. Upon such resignation or removal the Company shall promptly
appoint in writing a new warrant agent. If the Company shall fail to make such
appointment within a period of thirty (30) days after it has been notified in
writing of such resignation by the resigning Warrant Agent or after such
removal, then the holder of any Warrant may apply to any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a new warrant agent. Pending appointment of
a successor to the Warrant Agent, either by the Company or by such a court, the
duties of the Warrant Agent shall be carried out by the Company. Any successor
warrant agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a
corporation, incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any state
thereof and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, be
subject to supervision and examination by Federal or state authority, and have a
combined capital and surplus of not


                                    Ex. G-15
<PAGE>

less than $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition. After acceptance in writing of such appointment by the new warrant
agent it shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties, and
responsibilities as if it had been originally named herein as the Warrant Agent,
without any further assurance, conveyance, act, or deed; but if for any reason
it shall be necessary or expedient to execute and deliver any further assurance,
conveyance, act, or deed, the same shall be done at the expense of the Company
and shall be legally and validly executed and delivered by the resigning or
removed Warrant Agent. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment
the Company shall file notice thereof with the resigning or removed Warrant
Agent and shall forthwith cause a copy of such notice to be mailed (by first
class mail, postage prepaid) to each registered holder of a Warrant at such
holder's last address as shown on the register of the Company. Failure to give
any notice provided for in this Section 15.11, or any defect in any such notice,
shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation of the Warrant
Agent or the appointment of a new warrant agent, as the case may be.

                  15.12    Change Of Warrant Agent. If 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
may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Warrant
Certificates so countersigned; and if 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 this Agreement.

                  15.13    Successor Warrant Agent. Any corporation into which
the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent may be merged or any corporation
resulting from any consolidation to which the Warrant Agent or any new warrant
agent shall be a party or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all
the agency business of the Warrant Agent or any new warrant agent shall be a
successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act; provided,
that such corporation would be eligible for appointment as a new warrant agent
under the provisions of Section 15.11 of this Article 15. The Company shall
promptly cause notice of the succession as Warrant Agent of any such successor
Warrant Agent to be mailed (by first class mail, postage prepaid) to each
registered holder of a Warrant at its last address as shown on the register of
the Company.

                                   ARTICLE XVI

                                 REMEDIES, ETC.

                  16.1     Remedies. The Company stipulates that the remedies at
law of each holder of a Warrant in the event of any default or threatened
default by the Company in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms
of this Warrant Agreement are not and will not be adequate and that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, such terms may be specifically enforced by a
decree for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or by an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or otherwise.

                  16.2     Warrant Holder Not Deemed A Stockholder. Prior to the
exercise of the Warrants represented thereby no holder of a Warrant Certificate,
as such, shall be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company,
including, but not limited to, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other
distributions, to exercise any preemptive right or, except as otherwise provided
herein, to receive any notice of meetings of stockholders, and no such holder
shall be entitled to receive notice of any proceedings of the Company except as
provided in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
construed as imposing any liabilities on such holder to purchase any securities
or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liabilities are asserted by the
Company or by creditors or stockholders of the Company or otherwise.

                  16.3     Right Of Action. All rights of action in respect of
this Agreement are vested in the registered holders of the Warrants. Any
registered holder of any Warrant, without the consent of the Warrant Agent or
the registered holder of any other Warrant, may in such holder's own behalf and
for such holder's own benefit enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit,
action, or proceeding against the Company suitable to enforce, or otherwise in
respect of, such holder's right to exercise such holder's Warrants in the manner
provided in the Warrant Certificate representing such Warrants and the Company's
obligations under this Agreement and the Warrants.

17.6, such amendment shall be considered a part of this Agreement for all

                                             release shall have the effect of
                                             releasing in any way any accounting
                                             firm or their affiliates or release
                                             any insurer or other obligor under

                                             consent to releases, and parties to
                                             lockup agreements agree not to
                                             object to releases. Holders of PHI

                                             broadest releases permissible under
                                             law will be included.

(2) TO BE USED IF SEEKING ALLOWANCE OF BREAK-UP PAYMENT AS GENERAL UNSECURED
CLAIM FOLLOWING PREPETITION TERMINATION OF SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT.

<PAGE>


    This matter having come before the Court on the motion (the "Motion") of
  Pinnacle Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") and Pinnacle Towers Inc. ("Towers") [and
certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates], debtors and debtors-in-possession
 (together, the "Debtors"), for an order allowing as a general unsecured claim
 the break-up payment (the "Break-Up Payment"), as described in Section 8.2 of
the securities purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated as of April
___, 2002, between and among Holdings and Towers, on the one hand, and Fortress
   Registered Investment Trust and Greenhill Capital Partners L.P., Greenhill
 Capital Partners (Cayman), L.P., Greenhill Capital Partners (Executives), L.P.
 and Greenhill Capital, L.P., (together, the "Investors"), on the other;(3) and
 the Court having reviewed the Motion and determined that the relief requested
  in the Motion is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates, their
creditors, and other parties-in-interest; and upon the record herein; and after
  due deliberation thereon; and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor,
                                  it is hereby

         FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:

         A.       Notice of the Motion was good and sufficient under the
particular circumstances and no other or further notice need be given.

         B.       The Debtors have articulated good and sufficient reasons for
allowance of the Break-Up Payment to the Investors as a general unsecured claim
payable solely in accordance with the terms of Section 8.2 of the Purchase
Agreement in the Debtors' Chapter 11 cases. Allowance of the Break-Up Payment as
a general unsecured claim pursuant to Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement is
reasonable and appropriate considering, among other things, the size and nature
of the proposed equity investment by the Investors and the efforts expended by
the Investors in seeking to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement.

         C.       Payment of the Break-Up Payment was an integral part of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and, in the absence of the
Debtors' obligations to make such payment as specified in the Purchase
Agreement, neither Investor would have entered into the Purchase Agreement.

meanings ascribed to them in the Motion or the Purchase Agreement, as the case
may be.

the Purchase Agreement be, and is hereby is, allowed as a general unsecured
claim in the amount of $12,000,000 in the Chapter 11 cases of each of the
Debtors (the "Allowed Break-Up Payment Claim"), payable solely in accordance
with the terms of Section 8.2.

                  3.       The Debtors shall be jointly and severally liable for
all distributions to be made on account of the Allowed Break-Up Payment Claim
pursuant to the terms of any plan(s) of reorganization confirmed for the Debtors
in these Chapter 11 cases.

                  4.       The terms and provisions this Order shall be binding
in all respects upon the Debtors, their estates, their respective affiliates,

administrator, representative or similar person subsequently appointed for or in
connection with any of the Debtors' estates or affairs in these Chapter 11 cases
or in any subsequent case(s) under the Bankruptcy Code involving any of the
Debtors.

                  5.       Nothing contained in any plan(s) of reorganization
confirmed for the Debtors in these Chapter 11 cases shall conflict with or
derogate from the terms of this Order and, in the event of any inconsistency

         This matter having come before the Court on the motion (the "Motion")
of Pinnacle Holdings Inc. ("Holdings") and Pinnacle Towers Inc. ("Towers") [and
certain of their subsidiaries and affiliates], debtors and debtors-in-possession
(together, the "Debtors"), for an order approving the proposed break-up payment

interests of the Debtors, their estates, their creditors, and other
parties-in-interest; and upon the record herein; and after due deliberation

                  FOUND AND DETERMINED THAT:

                  A.       Notice of the Motion was good and sufficient under
the particular circumstances and no other or further notice need be given.

                  B.       The Debtors have articulated good and sufficient
reasons for approving the Break-Up Payment to the Investors. The Debtors'
payment to the Investors of the Break-Up Payment pursuant to Section 8.2 of the
Purchase Agreement is (a) an actual and necessary cost and expense of preserving
the Debtors' estates, within the meaning of section 503(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code, (b) of substantial benefit to the Debtors, their estates, their creditors,
and other parties-in-interest, (c) reasonable and appropriate

considering, among other things, the size and nature of the proposed equity
investment by the Investors and the efforts that have been and will be expended
by the Investors in seeking to consummate the transactions contemplated by the
Purchase Agreement, including, but not limited to, procurement of the New Senior
Credit Facility, and (d) necessary to ensure that the Investors will continue to
pursue their proposed equity investment in the Debtors and the other
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

                  C.       Payment of the Break-Up Payment is an integral part
of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and, in the absence
of the Debtors' obligations to make such payment as specified in the Purchase
Agreement, neither Investor would have entered into the Purchase Agreement.
Accordingly, the Investors are unwilling to hold open their offer to pursue the
proposed equity investment in the Debtors and consummate the other transactions
contemplated by the Purchase Agreement unless they are assured of the Debtors'
ability, right, and obligation to pay the Break-Up Payment.

                  NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED
THAT:

                  6.       The Motion be, and it hereby is, GRANTED.

                  7.       The Break-Up Payment provisions of the Purchase
Agreement in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement be, and they
hereby are, approved.

                  8.       The Debtors' obligations to pay the Break-Up Payment
in accordance with Section 8.2 of the Purchase Agreement shall be, and it hereby
is, entitled to priority as an administrative expense of the Debtors' estates
under sections 503(b) and 507(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
