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

         Harborside Healthcare Corporation (the "Issuer"), a corporation organized and existing under the
                                                 ------
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, does hereby certify that, pursuant to authority conferred
upon the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any committee of the Board of Directors by its Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the "Certificate of Incorporation"), and pursuant to the provisions
                                               ----------------------------
of Section 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the Board of Directors, by unanimous
written consent dated as of May 8, 2001, duly approved and adopted the following resolution:

         RESOLVED, that, pursuant to the authority vested in the Board of Directors by its Certificate of
Incorporation, the Board of Directors does hereby create, authorize and provide for the issue of 13 %
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with a liquidation preference of
$1,000.00 per share, consisting of up to 100,000 shares, having the designations, preferences and relative,
participating, optional and other special rights and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof
that are set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation and in this Resolution as follows:

         This Certificate of Designation shall be deemed effective on May 10, 2001.

                                                   ARTICLE 1

                                                  DESIGNATION

         SECTION 1.1  There is hereby created out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock of
the Issuer a class of Preferred Stock designated as the "13% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock".  The
                                                         --------------------------------------------
number of shares constituting such class shall be 100,000 shares of 13% Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock (the "Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock"), consisting of one or more series.  Initially, there
            ----------------------------------------
is hereby created "Series A" (the "Series A Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock"), consisting of 50,000
                                   -------------------------------------------------
shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock which consists of an initial issuance of 15,000 shares of
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, plus additional shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
which, among other things, may be used to pay certain dividends on the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock if the Issuer elects or is required to pay dividends in additional shares of Preferred Stock.

         SECTION 1.2  In addition, if and when authorized by the Board of Directors, the Issuer may issue
(subject to the 100,000 maximum referred to above and compliance with the terms and provisions hereof)
additional series of Preferred Stock having identical terms and conditions to the Series A Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Additional Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock").  Any shares of
                                   ---------------------------------------------------
Additional Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be part of the same issue and class as the Series A
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and will vote as one class with such Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock on all matters subject to a vote by the Holders thereof.  All references in this Certificate
of Designation to "Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock" include any Additional Convertible Exchangeable
                   ----------------------------------------
Preferred Stock, and any references to "Exchange Debentures" include any Exchange Debentures issued in
                                        -------------------
exchange for Additional Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, unless the context otherwise requires.

                                                   ARTICLE 2

                                                     RANK

         SECTION 2.1  The Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividends and as to
distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Issuer, rank (i) senior to the Existing
Preferred Stock and all classes of Capital Stock of the Issuer established after the Issue Date (other than
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock) by the Board of Directors of the Issuer the terms of which do not
expressly provide that it ranks on a parity with the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock as to dividends
and as to distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Issuer (collectively referred
to with the Common Stock of the Issuer as "Junior Securities"); and (ii) on a parity with each series of
                                           -----------------
Preferred Stock established after the Issue Date by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the terms of which
expressly provide that such class will rank on a parity with the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock as
to dividends and as to distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Issuer
(collectively referred to as "Parity Securities").
                              -----------------

                                                   ARTICLE 3

                                                   DIVIDENDS

         SECTION 3.1  Beginning on the Issue Date, Holders of outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Issuer, out of
funds legally available therefor, dividends on the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock at
the greater of (a) a rate per annum equal to 13% of the liquidation preference per share of outstanding
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and (b) an amount equal to the dividends payable on outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock (on an as-converted basis) for the same quarterly period.  All dividends will
be cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, on a quarterly basis from the date of issuance of the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 1, May 1,
August 1 and November 1 of each year (each a "Dividend Payment Date"), commencing on August 1, 2001.  If
                                              ---------------------
dividends are paid at the rate specified in and pursuant to clause (a) above, then (i) until such time as no
Notes are outstanding, such dividends shall be paid in additional fully paid and non-assessable shares of
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock having an aggregate liquidation preference equal to the amount of
such dividends, and (ii) after such time as no Notes are outstanding, dividends may be paid in cash at the
election of the Issuer.  If dividends are paid at the amount specified in and pursuant to clause (b) above,
then such dividends shall be paid in the same form as such dividends are payable on the outstanding shares of
Class A Common Stock, including the form of cash if elected by the Issuer.  Each distribution in the form of
a dividend (whether in cash or in additional shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock) shall be
payable to Holders of record as they appear on the stock books of the Issuer on the applicable record date,
which record date shall be January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, as the case may be.  Dividends shall
cease to accumulate in respect of shares of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock on the Exchange Date
or on the date of their earlier redemption unless the Issuer shall have failed to issue the appropriate
aggregate principal amount of Exchange Debentures in respect of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock

                                       3

on the Exchange Date or shall have failed to pay the relevant redemption price on the date fixed for
redemption.

         SECTION 3.2  All dividends paid with respect to shares of the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall be paid pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto.

         SECTION 3.3  Nothing herein contained shall in any way or under any circumstances be construed or
deemed to require the Board of Directors to declare, or the Issuer to pay or set apart for payment, any
dividends on shares of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock at any time.

         SECTION 3.4  Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Period and dividends in
connection with any optional redemption pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof may be declared and paid at any time,
without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to Holders of record on such date, not more than 45
days prior to the payment thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

         SECTION 3.5  Notwithstanding Section 3.3, no dividends may be declared or paid (whether in cash,
additional Parity Securities or otherwise) or funds set apart for the payment of dividends on any Parity
Securities for any period unless full cumulative dividends shall have been or contemporaneously are declared
and paid in full or declared and, if payable in cash, a sum in cash is set apart for such payment on the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.  If full dividends are not so declared, paid or funds therefor set
aside, as the case may be, the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will share dividends pro rata with
the Parity Securities based on the relative liquidation preference of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock and such Parity Securities.  No dividends may be paid or set apart for such payment on Junior
Securities (except dividends on Junior Securities in additional shares of Junior Securities) and no Junior
Securities or Parity Securities may be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise retired nor may funds be set apart
for payment with respect thereto, if full cumulative dividends have not been paid on the Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock.  Holders of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will not be entitled to
any dividends, whether payable in cash, in additional Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, property or
stock, in excess of the full cumulative dividends as herein described.

         SECTION 3.6  Holders of shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
receive the dividends provided for in Section 3.1 hereof in preference to and in priority over any dividends
upon any Junior Securities.

         SECTION 3.7  Dividends payable on shares of the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
for any period less than a year shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  If
any Dividend Payment Date occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, any accrued dividends otherwise payable
on such Dividend Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

                                                   ARTICLE 4

                                            LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

         SECTION 4.1  Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer,
each Holder of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of
the Issuer available for distribution, the liquidation preference of the greater of (a) $1,000 per share and
(b) the aggregate amount which such Holder of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock would have acquired if
such Holder had held the maximum number of Conversion Shares acquirable upon the complete conversion of such
Holder's Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.3 immediately before the time and
date of the determination of shareholders entitled to receive distributions for such liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up; plus an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed
for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (including an amount equal to a prorated dividend for the period
from the last Dividend Payment Date to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up), before any
distribution is made on any Junior Securities, including, without limitation, Common Stock of the Issuer.
If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer, the amounts
payable with respect to the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and all other Parity Securities are not
paid in full, the Holders of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and the Parity Securities will
share equally and ratably in any distribution of assets of the Issuer in proportion to the full liquidation
preference and accumulated and unpaid dividends to which each is entitled.  After payment of the full amount
of the liquidation preferences and accumulated and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled, the Holders
of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any
distribution of assets of the Issuer.

         SECTION 4.2  For purposes of Section 4.1, neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for
cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or
assets of the Issuer nor the consolidation or merger of the Issuer with or into one or more corporations will
be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Issuer.

                                                   ARTICLE 5

                                                  REDEMPTION

         SECTION 5.1  Optional Redemption.
                      -------------------

         (a)      The Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock may be redeemed for cash (subject to
contractual and other restrictions with respect thereto and to the legal availability of funds therefor) at
any time on or after April 1, 2005, in whole or in part, at the option of the Issuer, at the following
redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the liquidation preference thereof) if redeemed during the
12-month period beginning April 1 of each of the years set forth below, in each case together with an amount
in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any (including an amount in cash equal to a
prorated dividend for the period from the Dividend Payment Date immediately prior to the Redemption Date to
the Redemption Date):

                                       5

                      Year                                 Percentage

                      2005                                  106.500%

                      2006                                  103.250%

                      2007 and thereafter                   100.000%

         (b)      At any time on or prior to April 1, 2005, the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock may
be redeemed as a whole but not in part at the option of the Issuer upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the liquidation preference thereof to the Redemption Date, plus an
amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon (including an amount in cash equal to a
prorated dividend for the period from the Dividend Payment Date immediately prior to the Redemption Date to
the Redemption Date) plus the Applicable Premium, provided that in no event may any such redemption pursuant
to this Section 5.1(b) occur more than 90 days after the occurrence of such Change of Control.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         (c)      In the event of partial redemptions of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, the shares
to be redeemed will be determined pro rata or by lot, as determined by the Issuer, except that the Issuer may
redeem such shares held by any Holders of fewer than 100 shares (or shares held by Holders who would hold
less than 100 shares as a result of such redemption), without regard to any pro rata redemption requirement.

         (d)      Notwithstanding Sections 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), no optional redemption may be authorized or made
unless prior thereto or contemporaneously therewith full unpaid cumulative dividends shall have been paid or
a sum shall have been set apart for such payment on the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.

         SECTION 5.2  Mandatory Redemption.  On February 1, 2008, the Issuer shall be required to redeem
                      --------------------
(subject to the legal availability of funds therefor) all outstanding shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock at a price equal to the then effective liquidation preference thereof, plus an amount in cash
equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon.

         SECTION 5.3  Procedures for Redemption.  Redemptions pursuant to Section 5.1 and 5.2 shall made in

the manner set forth in this Section 5.3.

         (a)      At least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock written notice (the "Redemption Notice") shall be given by the
                                                              -----------------
Issuer by first-class mail to each Holder of record on the record date fixed for such redemption of the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock at such Holder's address as the same appears on the stock register
of the Issuer, provided that no failure to give such notice nor any deficiency therein shall affect the
validity of the procedure for the redemption of any shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be
redeemed except as to the Holder or Holders to whom the Issuer has failed to give said notice or except as to
the Holder or Holders whose notice was defective.  The Redemption Notice shall state:

                                       6

                  (i)      whether the redemption is pursuant to Section 5.1(a), 5.1(b) or 5.2 hereof;

                  (ii)     the redemption price;

                  (iii)    whether all or less than all the outstanding shares of the Convertible Exchangeable
         Preferred Stock are to be redeemed and the total number of shares of the Convertible Exchangeable
         Preferred Stock being redeemed;

                  (iv)     the number of shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock held, as of the
         appropriate record date, by the Holder that the Issuer intends to redeem;

                  (v)      the Redemption Date;

                  (vi)     that the Holder is to surrender to the Issuer, at the place or places where
         certificates for shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for
         redemption, in the manner and at the price designated, the certificate or certificates representing
         the shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be redeemed; and

                  (vii)    that dividends on the shares of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be
         redeemed shall cease to accrue on such Redemption Date unless the Issuer defaults in the payment of
         the redemption price.

         (b)      Each Holder of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or
certificates representing such shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to the Issuer (duly
endorsed or assigned for transfer) in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice and on
the Redemption Date.  The full redemption price for such shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
shall be payable in cash to the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner
thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired.  In the event that less than all of
the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing
the unredeemed shares.

         (c)      Unless the Issuer defaults in the payment in full of the applicable redemption price,
dividends on the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock called for redemption shall cease to accumulate on
the Redemption Date, and the Holders of such redeemed shares shall cease to have any further rights with
respect thereto from and after the Redemption Date, other than the right to receive the redemption price,
without interest.

         SECTION 5.4  Sinking Fund.  The Issuer will not be required to make sinking fund payments with
                      ------------
respect to the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.

                                                 VOTING RIGHTS

         SECTION 6.1  The Holders of shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, except as otherwise
required under Delaware law or as set forth in this Article 6, shall not be entitled or permitted to vote on
any matter required or permitted to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Issuer.

         SECTION 6.2  Voting Rights Triggering Event.
                      ------------------------------

         (a)      If (i) dividends on the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are in arrears and unpaid
for six quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive), (ii) the Issuer fails to deliver certificates
evidencing Conversion Shares to Holders who have elected to convert shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof within the time period specified in Section 7.3 hereof, (iii)
the Issuer fails to discharge any redemption obligation with respect to the Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock (whether or not such redemption is prohibited by the terms of the Existing Credit Facility,
the Notes or any other obligation of the Issuer), (iv) the Issuer fails to redeem or make an offer to
purchase all of the outstanding shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock following a Change of
Control (whether or not the Issuer is permitted to do so by the terms of the Existing Credit Facility, the
Notes or any other obligation of the Issuer) or fails to purchase shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock from Holders who elect to have such shares purchased pursuant to the Exchangeable Preferred
Change of Control Offer (as defined in Section 8.1), (v) a breach or violation of the covenants contained in
Articles 9, 10, 11, 12 or Section 15.5 occurs and the breach or violation continues for a period of 90 days
or more, or (vi) the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any Debt within any applicable grace
period after final maturity, or the acceleration of any such Debt by the holders thereof because of a
default, so long as the total amount of such Debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds $15.0 million or its foreign
currency equivalent, then the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Issuer will be
adjusted to permit the Holders of the majority of the then outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock, voting separately as a class, to elect two directors.  Each such event described in clauses (i)
through (vi) above is referred to herein as a "Voting Rights Triggering Event." Voting rights arising as a
                                               ------------------------------
result of a Voting Rights Triggering Event will continue until (x) in the case of any Voting Rights
Triggering Event under clause (i) of the definition thereof, such time as all dividends in arrears on the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are paid in full and (y) in all other cases, any failure, breach or
default giving rise to such voting rights is remedied or waived by the Holders of at least a majority of the
shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding (and, in the case of any acceleration
referred to in clause (vi) of the definition of "Voting Rights Triggering Event," such acceleration has been
rescinded), at which time the term of the directors elected pursuant to the provisions of this Article 6
shall terminate automatically.

         (b)      At any time after voting power to elect directors shall have become vested and be continuing
in the Holders of shares of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 6.2(a) hereof,
or if vacancies shall exist in the offices of directors elected by the Holders of shares of the Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, a proper officer of the Issuer may, and upon the written request of the Holders
of record of at least 25% of the shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding
addressed to the Secretary of the Issuer shall, call a special meeting of the Holders of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock, for the purpose of electing the directors which such Holders are entitled to
elect.  If such meeting shall not be called by the proper officer of the Issuer within 15 days after personal
service of said written request upon the Secretary of the Issuer, or within 20 days after mailing the same
within the United States by certified mail, addressed to the Secretary of the Issuer at its principal
executive offices, then the Holders of record of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of the Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock may designate in writing one of their number to call such meeting at the expense
of the Issuer, and such meeting may be called by the Person so designated upon the notice required for the

                                       8

annual meetings of stockholders of the Issuer and shall be held at the place for holding the annual meetings
of stockholders or such other place in the United States as shall be designated in such notice.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.2(b), no such special meeting shall be called if any such
request is received less than 40 days before the date fixed for the next ensuing annual or special meeting of
stockholders of the Issuer.  Such meeting shall be held within 30 days of the date such notice is given.  Any
Holder of shares of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock so designated shall have, and the Issuer
shall provide, access to the lists of Holders of shares of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock for
purposes of calling a meeting pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2(b).

         (c)      At any meeting held for the purpose of electing directors at which the Holders of
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall have the right, voting separately as one class, to elect
directors as aforesaid, the presence in person or by proxy of the Holders of at least a majority of the
outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be required to constitute a quorum of such
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.

         (d)      Any vacancy occurring in the office of a director elected by the Holders of the Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock may be filled by the remaining director elected by such Holders unless and until
such vacancy shall be filled by such Holders.

         SECTION 6.3  So long as any shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are outstanding, the

deemed to affect adversely the special rights, powers, preferences, privileges or voting rights of Holders of

Directors in good faith, does not adversely effect the legal rights under this Certificate of Designation of

and (iii) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Exchange Debenture Trustee a written Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Exchange Debenture Trustee, dated the Exchange Date, subject to customary

the issuance of the Exchange Debentures is not permitted on the date of exchange or any of the conditions set
forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the preceding sentence are not satisfied on the Exchange Date, the
Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to satisfy such conditions and effect such exchange as soon as

         (b)      Opinion Language.  The Opinion of Counsel referenced in Section 7.1(a)(iii) hereof shall
                  ----------------
include language substantially to the following effect:

         authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of the Exchange Debenture Indenture,
         will be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer, in accordance
         with their terms, except as the same may be limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally, including without
         limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances or transfers,
         preferential transfers or distributions by corporations to shareholders, or (B) general principles
         of equity, whether considered at law or at equity, including, without limitation, concepts of
         materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

                                       10

                  (ii)     The Exchange Debenture Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
         by the Issuer, and is a valid and binding agreement of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in
         accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy,
         insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally,
         including without limitation the effect of statutory or other laws regarding fraudulent conveyances

         general principles of equity, whether considered at law or at equity, including, without limitation,
         concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing.

         (c)      To exchange the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock for Exchange Debentures, the Issuer
shall send a written notice (the "Exchange Notice") of exchange by mail to each Holder of shares of
                                  ---------------
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, which notice shall state (i) that the Issuer is exercising its
option to exchange the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock for Exchange Debentures pursuant to this
Certificate of Designation, (ii) the date fixed for exchange (the "Exchange Date"), which date shall not be
                                                                   -------------
less than 30 days nor more than 60 days following the date on which the Exchange Notice is mailed, (iii) that
the Holder is to surrender to the Issuer, at the place or places where certificates for shares of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for exchange, in the manner designated in the Exchange
Notice, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
to be exchanged (duly endorsed or assigned for transfer); (iv) that dividends on the shares of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged shall cease to accrue on the Exchange Date, and that Holders of
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall cease to have any further rights with respect to such shares
(other than the right to receive Exchange Debentures), whether or not certificates for shares of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock are surrendered for exchange on the Exchange Date unless the Issuer shall
default in the delivery of Exchange Debentures; and (v) that interest on the Exchange Debentures shall accrue
from the Exchange Date whether or not certificates for shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are
surrendered for exchange on the Exchange Date; provided, however, that no failure to give such notice nor any
deficiency therein shall affect the validity of the procedure for the exchange of any shares of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be exchanged except as to the Holder or Holders to whom the Issuer has failed
to give said notice or except as to the Holder or Holders whose notice was defective.  On the Exchange Date,
if the conditions set forth in Section 7.1(a)(i) through 7.1(a)(iii) are satisfied, the Issuer shall issue
Exchange Debentures in exchange for the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock as provided in Section
7.1(d).

         (d)      On the Exchange Date, Holders of outstanding shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock will be entitled to receive a principal amount of Exchange Debentures equal to the liquidation
preference per share, plus an amount in cash (or, at the election by the Issuer, in principal amount of
Exchange Debentures) equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends (including an amount equal to a prorated
dividend for the period from the Dividend Payment Date immediately prior to the Exchange Date to the Exchange
Date).  The Exchange Debentures will be issued in registered form, without coupons.  Exchange Debentures
issued in exchange for Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be issued in principal amounts of $1,000
and integral multiples thereof to the extent possible, and will also be issued in principal amounts less than
$1,000 so that each Holder of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will receive certificates representing

                                       11

the entire amount of Exchange Debentures to which his or her shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock entitle him or her, provided that the Issuer may, at its option, pay cash in lieu of issuing an
Exchange Debenture in a principal amount less than $1,000.  On and after the Exchange Date, dividends will
cease to accumulate on the outstanding shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, and all rights of
the Holders of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock (except the right to receive the Exchange Debentures,
an amount in cash equal to the accumulated and unpaid dividends to the Exchange Date (or, at the election by
the Issuer, in principal amount of Exchange Debentures) and if the Issuer so elects, cash in lieu of any
Exchange Debenture that is in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000) will terminate.  The
Person entitled to receive the Exchange Debentures issuable upon such exchange will be treated for any
purposes as the registered Holder of such Exchange Debentures.  The Exchange Debentures shall rank (i)
subordinate to the Notes and (ii) senior to any Old Notes.

         SECTION 7.2  Procedure for Exchange.
                      ----------------------

         (a)      On or before the Exchange Date, each Holder of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock, in the manner and at the place designated in the Exchange Notice.  The Issuer shall cause
the Exchange Debentures to be executed on the Exchange Date and, upon surrender in accordance with the
Exchange Notice of the certificates for any shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock so exchanged
(duly endorsed or assigned for transfer), such shares shall be exchanged by the Issuer into Exchange
Debentures.  The Issuer shall pay interest on the Exchange Debentures at the rate and on the dates specified
therein from the Exchange Date.

         (b)      Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of
Section 7.1(a), if notice has been mailed as aforesaid, and if before the Exchange Date (i) the Exchange
Debenture Indenture shall have been duly executed and delivered by the Issuer and the Exchange Debenture
Trustee and (ii) all Exchange Debentures necessary for such exchange shall have been duly executed by the
Issuer and delivered to the Exchange Debenture Trustee with irrevocable instructions to authenticate the
Exchange Debentures necessary for such exchange, then the rights of the Holders of shares of the Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock as stockholders of the Issuer shall cease (except the right to receive Exchange
Debentures), and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Exchange Debentures issuable upon exchange
shall be treated for all purposes as the registered Holder or Holders of such Exchange Debentures as of the
date of exchange without any further action of the Holders of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.

         SECTION 7.3  Optional Conversion.
                      -------------------

         (a)      The Holder of any shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock at his option may at
any time (except that if any such share shall have been (i) called for redemption pursuant to Article 5, or
(ii) repurchased pursuant to an Exchangeable Preferred Change of Control Offer under Article 8, then, as to
such share, such right shall terminate at the close of business on the date fixed for such redemption or
repurchase, unless default shall be made by the Issuer in providing money for the payment of the redemption

                                       12

price or repurchase price of the shares called for redemption or repurchase) convert all or any of such
Holder's shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock into fully paid and non-assessable Conversion
Shares at the conversion rate at which Conversion Shares shall be delivered upon conversion (the "Conversion
                                                                                                  -----------
Rate") in effect at the time of conversion.  The Conversion Rate shall initially be 150 Conversion Shares for
----
each share of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, such Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in certain
instances as provided in Section 7.4.  The number of Conversion Shares deliverable upon such conversion shall
be the number obtained by multiplying the number of shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock being
so converted by the Conversion Rate fixed or determined pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph (a) of
this Section 7.3 and Section 7.4.  Such right shall be exercised by the surrender to the Issuer of the
certificate or certificates, duly endorsed,  representing the shares to be so converted at any time during
normal business hours at the office of the Transfer Agent, or to the Issuer if so notified, and, accompanied
(i) by written notice of such Holder's election to convert, (ii) if so required by the Transfer Agent or the
Issuer, by instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Transfer Agent or the Issuer, duly executed
by the registered Holder or by his duly authorized attorney, (iii) transfer tax stamps or funds therefor, if
required pursuant to paragraph (g) of this Section 7.3, and (iv) in the case of shares surrendered for
conversion between the record date preceding a Dividend Payment Date for the Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock (in the case where such dividends are payable in cash pursuant to Section 3.1), but prior to
such Dividend Payment Date, an amount equal to the dividends payable on such Dividend Payment Date on the
shares to be converted.  All certificates representing the converted Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock, including all certificates not so delivered by such Holders, shall be, or shall be deemed to be,
canceled by the Issuer as of the date the election to convert is made and shall thereafter no longer be of
any force or effect and the Issuer shall not thereafter issue any such shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock.

         (b)      As promptly as practicable after the surrender for conversion of any certificate(s)
representing shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock in the manner provided in paragraph (a) of
this Section 7.3 and the payment in cash of any amount required by the provisions of paragraphs (a), (c) and
(g) of this Section 7.3, the Issuer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Transfer Agent to or upon
the written order of the Holder of such certificates representing the number of full Conversion Shares
issuable upon such conversion, issued in such name or names as such Holder may direct.  Such conversion shall
be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the
certificate(s) representing the shares to be converted, and all rights of the Holder of such shares as a
Holder of such shares shall cease at such time and the person or persons in whose name or names the
certificates for such Conversion Shares are to be issued shall be treated for all purposes as having become
the record holder or holders thereof at such time and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in
effect at such time; provided, however, that any such surrender and payment on any date when the stock
transfer books of the Issuer shall be closed shall constitute the person or persons in whose name or names
the certificates for such Conversion Shares are to be issued as the record holder or holders thereof for all
purposes immediately prior to the close of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer
books are opened and such conversion shall be at the Conversion Rate in effect at such time on such
succeeding day.

         If the last day for the exercise of the conversion right shall be other than a Business Day, then
such conversion right may be exercised on the next succeeding Business Day.

                                       13

         (c)      In the case where dividends are payable in cash pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to
shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to be converted and the certificate(s) representing such
shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are surrendered for conversion between the close of
business on any record date preceding a Dividend Payment Date for the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock and the opening of business on such Dividend Payment Date, then such surrendered certificate(s) shall
(except in the case of shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock which have been called for
redemption on a redemption date within such period) be accompanied by payment of an amount equal to the
dividend payable on such Dividend Payment Date on the shares being surrendered for conversion. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence of this paragraph (c), no adjustments in respect of dividends on either
the shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock or Conversion Shares shall be made upon the conversion
of any shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if shares shall be
converted subsequent to the record date preceding a Dividend Payment Date for the Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock, but prior to such Dividend Payment Date, the registered holder of such shares at the close
of business on such record date shall be entitled to receive the dividend payable on such shares on such
Dividend Payment Date in the form which such Holder is entitled to notwithstanding the conversion thereof or
the Issuer's default in payment of the dividend due on such Dividend Payment Date.

         (d)      So long as permitted by the Certificate of Incorporation, fractional Conversion Shares may
be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.  If more
than one such share of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be surrendered for conversion at the
same time by the same Holder, the number of full Conversion Shares which shall be issuable upon the
conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis as specified in Section 7.3(a).

         (e)      If either of the following shall occur:  (a) any consolidation, reorganization or merger to
which the Issuer is a party, other than a consolidation, reorganization or a merger in which the Issuer is a
continuing corporation and which does not result in any reclassification, change or exchange (other than
changes in par value or from par value to no par value or from no par value to par value or changes as a
result of a subdivision or combination) in outstanding Conversion Shares, or (b) any sale or conveyance to
another corporation of the property of the Issuer as an entirety or substantially as an entirety; then the
Holder of each share of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding shall upon conversion of
such share have the right to convert such share only into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other
securities and property receivable upon such consolidation, reorganization, merger, sale or conveyance by a
Holder of the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of such share of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consolidation, reorganization, merger, sale or conveyance, subject
to adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in
Section 7.4.  The provisions of this paragraph (e) shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
reorganizations, mergers, sales or conveyances.

         (f)      The Issuer covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for the
purpose of issue upon conversion of the shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, such number of
Conversion Shares as shall be issuable upon the conversion of all such outstanding shares, provided, that

                                       14

nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude the Issuer from satisfying its obligations in respect
of the conversion of the shares by delivery of purchased Conversion Shares which are held in the treasury of
the Issuer.

         The Issuer covenants that if any Conversion Shares required to be reserved for purposes of
conversion of the shares hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under
any Federal or State law or regulation before such shares may be issued upon conversion, the Issuer will
cause such shares to be duly registered or approved, as the case may be.  The Issuer will use its reasonable
best efforts to list the Conversion Shares required to be delivered upon conversion of shares prior to such
delivery upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding Conversion Shares are
listed at the time of such delivery, and, if such outstanding Conversion Shares are not listed on any
exchange but is traded in the over-the-counter market, to qualify such shares for trading and quotation
privileges such as are then available for the outstanding Conversion Shares.  The Issuer covenants that all
Conversion Shares which shall be issued upon conversion of the shares will upon issue be fully paid and
non-assessable and not subject to any preemptive rights.

         For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of Sections 7.3 and 7.4, the term "Conversion Shares" shall
include any other class of capital stock of the Company resulting from successive changes or
reclassifications of such Conversion Shares  consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to
no par value, or from no par value to par value.

         (g)      The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares upon conversion shall be made without
charge for any stamp or other similar tax in respect of such issuance.  However, if any such certificate is
to be issued in a name other than that of the Holder of the share or shares converted, the person or persons
requesting the issuance thereof shall pay to the Issuer the amount of any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in such issuance or shall establish to the satisfaction of the Issuer that such tax
has been paid.

         (h)      Notwithstanding anything elsewhere contained in this Certificate of Designation, any funds
which at any time shall have been deposited by the Issuer or on its behalf with the Transfer Agent for the
purpose of paying dividends on or the redemption price of any of the shares of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock and which shall not be required for such purposes because of the conversion of such shares,
as provided in this Section 7.3, shall, upon delivery to the Transfer Agent of evidence satisfactory to it of
such conversion, be repaid to the Issuer by the Transfer Agent.

         (i)  Legends and Transfer Restrictions of Conversion Shares.
              ------------------------------------------------------

         The Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall
bear such legends and shall have such transfer restrictions as  provided for in Section 16.2, the Certificate
of Incorporation and by the laws of any state or other jurisdiction.

         (j)      Tag-Along Transfers.
                  -------------------

         Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any holder of Class D Common Stock (the
"Proposed Transferor") notifies the Issuer that such holder proposes to effect a Tag-Along Transfer as
--------------------
contemplated by Article IV, Section 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation, then immediately prior to the

                                       15

delivery of the Transfer Notice by the Proposed Transferor (as described in Article IV, Section 4(b) of the
Certificate of Incorporation), any unconverted shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock of each
Holder shall be automatically converted into Conversion Shares if the value of the Conversion Shares issuable
upon conversion of such Holder's shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock exceeds the aggregate
liquidation preference using $1,000 per share of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock plus all
accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for the proposed sale by the Proposed Transferor
and plus any premium which would be payable to such Holder upon such proposed Tag-Along Transfer; and the
Holders of such converted shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall receive from the Issuer
the number of fully paid and nonassessable Conversion Shares which such Holders at the time are entitled to
receive upon conversion of such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms hereof.  Upon
conversion of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, the Holders shall not be paid or owed any
dividends on Conversion Shares for which the record date for such dividends is prior to the conversion of the
related shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.  The Conversion Shares issued pursuant to this
Section 7.3(j) shall be subject to all provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation relating to Class A
Common Stock, including but not limited to the benefits of the tag-along provisions set forth in Article IV,
Section 4 of the Certificate of Incorporation and the redemption provisions set forth in Article IV, Section
5 of the Certificate of Incorporation.  Upon conversion of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
pursuant to this Section 7.3(j), the rights of such Holders as such shall terminate and cease.  Capitalized
terms not otherwise defined in this Section 7.4(j) have the meanings set forth in the Certificate of
Incorporation.

         SECTION 7.4  Adjustments of Conversion Rate.         The Conversion Rate shall be shall be subject to
                      ------------------------------
adjustment as follows:

         (a)  Adjustment for Changes in Common Stock.  If, after the Issue Date, the Issuer:
              --------------------------------------

                           (i)      pays a dividend or makes a distribution on shares of any class of its
         Common Stock payable in shares of its Common Stock;

                           (ii)     subdivides or splits any of its outstanding shares of any class of Common
         Stock into a greater number of shares;

                           (iii)    combines any of its outstanding shares of any class of Common Stock into a
         smaller number of shares; or

                           (iv)     issues by reclassification of any class of its Common Stock any shares of
         any of its Common Stock;

then the Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to such action for each share of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Rate in effect
immediately prior to such action by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of
all classes of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such action giving pro forma effect to the exercise
of all Warrants and all other then outstanding Convertible Securities (other than the Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock) and (B) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of all classes

                                       16

of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such action or the record date applicable to such action, if
any (regardless of whether the Warrants then outstanding are then exercisable and giving pro forma effect to
the exercise of all Warrants and all other then outstanding Convertible Securities (other than the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock)).  The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the
record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and immediately after the effective date in the case of
a subdivision, combination or reclassification.  In the event that such dividend or distribution is not so
paid or made or such subdivision, combination or reclassification is not effected, the Conversion Rate shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Rate which would then be in effect if such record date or effective
date had not been so fixed.

                  If after an adjustment a holder of shares Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock upon
conversion of such shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock may receive shares of two or more
classes of Capital Stock of the Issuer, the Conversion Rate shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon
the occurrence of an action taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock as is contemplated by this
Section 7.4 with respect to the Common Stock, on terms comparable to those applicable to Common Stock in this
Section 7.4.

         (b)  Adjustment for Certain Sales of Common Stock Below Current Market Value.
              -----------------------------------------------------------------------

         If, at any time after the Issue Date, the Issuer issues or sells any shares of any class of Common
Stock or any Convertible Security (other than (1) the issuance or exercise of the Warrants, (2) the issuance
or the conversion of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, (3) pursuant to any Convertible Security
outstanding as of the Issue Date (to the extent in accordance with the terms of such Convertible Security as
in effect on such date), and (4) upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Convertible Security as to
which upon the issuance thereof an adjustment pursuant to this Section 7.4 has been made (or was not required
under the foregoing clause (1), (2) or (3)) at a price per share (plus, in the case of any Convertible
Security, any consideration (on a per share basis) receivable upon conversion, exchange or exercise, as
applicable) below the then Current Market Value, the Conversion Rate for each share of Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula:

                           CR1      =           CR x (O+N)
                                            ------------------

where:

CR1        =             the adjusted Conversion Rate immediately after the Time of Determination;
CR         =             the pre-adjusted current Conversion Rate immediately prior to the Time of Determination;
O          =             the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of all classes outstanding immediately
                         prior to such issuance or sale of such Common Stock or Convertible Securities, as the
                         case may be;

                                       17

N          =             the number of shares of Common Stock of any class so issued or sold or the maximum
                         stated number of shares of Common Stock of any class issuable upon the conversion,
                         exchange or exercise of any such Convertible Securities, as the case may be;
P          =             the proceeds per share of Common Stock of the relevant class received by the Issuer,
                         which (i) in the case of shares of Common Stock of any class is the amount received by
                         the Issuer in consideration for the sale and issuance of such shares; and (ii) in the
                         case of Convertible Securities is the amount received by the Issuer in consideration for
                         the sale and issuance of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount
                         of additional consideration, other than the surrender of such Convertible Securities,

                  The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Time of Determination with
respect to the issuance or sale to which this paragraph (b) applies.  To the extent that shares of Common
Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such Convertible Securities (or any Convertible Securities
underlying such Convertible Securities), the Conversion Rate for each Share of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be readjusted to the Conversion Rate which would otherwise be in
effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance or sale of such Convertible Securities been made on the
basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (b) if the
application of the formula stated above in this paragraph (b) would result in a value of CR1 that is lower
than the value of CR.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made under this paragraph (b) for any
adjustment which is the subject of paragraphs (a) or  (c) of this Section 7.4.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment in the Conversion Rate will be required in
respect of:  (a) the grant of any stock option or other stock incentive award pursuant to any stock option or
stock incentive plan or arrangement as disclosed in the Annual Report attached as Appendix C to the Offer to
Exchange, (b) the grant of any stock option or stock incentive award at an exercise price at least equal to
the then Current Market Value, (c) the grant of any other stock option or stock incentive award to any
officer or employee of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries pursuant to any compensatory plan or arrangement
that has been approved by the Issuer's Board of Directors pursuant to a Board Resolution, or (d) the exercise
of any such option or award referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c).

                                       18

(c)  Adjustment upon Certain Distributions.
     -------------------------------------

                  (i)      If at any time after the Issue Date the Issuer grants, issues or sells any
Convertible Security or Capital Stock (other than Common Stock) or rights to purchase or subscribe
for the same pro rata to the record holders of any class of Common Stock ("Distribution Rights") or,
             --- ----                                                      -------------------
without duplication, makes any dividend or distribution (other than a distribution pursuant to a
plan of liquidation) (a "Distribution") on shares of any class of Common Stock (whether in cash,
                         ------------
property, evidences of indebtedness, or otherwise), then the Conversion Rate shall be adjusted in
accordance with the formula:

                                    CR1     =        CR x (M/(M-F))

where:

CR1      =        the adjusted Conversion Rate immediately after the Time of Determination;

CR       =        the pre-adjusted Conversion Rate immediately prior to the Time of Determination;

M        =        the Current Market Value at the Time of Determination;

F        =        the fair market value at the Time of Determination of such portion of the, Convertible
                  Securities, Capital Stock or rights to purchase or subscribe for the same, cash, property,
                  evidences of indebtedness, or other assets distributable pursuant to such Distribution
                  Rights or Distribution per share of outstanding Common Stock.

                  The adjustment shall become effective immediately after the Time of Determination with
respect to the shareholders entitled to receive the Convertible Securities, Capital Stock or rights to
purchase or subscribe for the same, cash, property, evidences of indebtedness, or other assets to which this
paragraph (c)(i) applies.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment shall be made under this paragraph
(c) if the application of the formula stated above in this paragraph (c)(i) would result in a value of CR1
that is lower than the value of CR.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (c)(i) does not apply to
any securities which result in an adjustment pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 7.4.

                  (ii)     Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (c)(i) of this Section 7.4, an
event which would otherwise give rise to an adjustment pursuant to Section 7.4(c)(i) shall not give
rise to such adjustment if the Issuer grants, issues or sells Distribution Rights to the Holders of
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock or includes the Holders of Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock in such Distribution, in each case on a pro rata basis, assuming for the purpose of
                                                        --- ----
this Section 7.4(c)(ii) that (x) all outstanding shares of Common Stock are of one class and (y) the
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock had been converted.

         (d)  Notice of Adjustment.
              --------------------

                                       19

         Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted, the Issuer shall or shall cause the Transfer Agent to
promptly mail to Holders of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock then outstanding at the addresses
appearing on the stock register a notice of the adjustment.  The Issuer shall file with the Transfer Agent
such notice and a certificate from the Issuer's Chief Financial Officer briefly stating the facts requiring
the adjustment and the manner of computing it.  The certificate shall be conclusive evidence that the
adjustment is correct, absent manifest error.  The Transfer Agent shall not be under any duty or
responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same during normal business hours
to any holder desiring inspection thereof.

         (e)  Other Events.
              ------------

         If any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 7.4 are not strictly applicable or,
if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, fairly
and adequately protect the rights of the Holders of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock in accordance
with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then such Board of Directors shall make such
adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with such essential intent and principles,
as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of such Board of Directors, to protect such
rights as aforesaid, but in no event shall any such adjustment have the effect of decreasing the Conversion
Rate or decreasing the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock.

         (f)  Issuer Determination Final.
              --------------------------

         Any determination that the Issuer or the Board of Directors of the Issuer must make pursuant to this
Section 7.4 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

         (g)  Transfer Agent's Adjustment Disclaimer.
              --------------------------------------

         The Transfer Agent shall have no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Section 7.4 should
be made, how it should be made or what it should be.  The Transfer Agent shall not be accountable for and
makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of
shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock.  The Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for the
Issuer's failure to comply with this Section 7.4.

                                       20

          (h)  Voluntary Adjustment.
               --------------------

         The Issuer from time to time may increase the Conversion Rate by any number and for any period of
time; provided that such period is not less than 20 Business Days.  Whenever the Conversion Rate is so
      --------
increased, the Issuer shall mail to holders at the addresses appearing on the stock register and file with
the Transfer Agent a notice of the increase.  The Issuer shall give the notice at least 15 days before the
date the increased Conversion Rate takes effect.  The notice shall state the increased Conversion Rate and
the period it will be in effect.  A voluntary increase in the Conversion Rate shall not change or adjust the
Conversion Rate otherwise in effect as determined by this Section 7.4.

         (i)  Multiple Adjustments.
              --------------------

         After an adjustment to the Conversion Rate for outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
under this Section 7.4, any subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Section 7.4 shall cause an
adjustment to the Conversion Rate for outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock as so adjusted.
For the purposes of adjustments with respect to Convertible Securities, the maximum number of shares of
Capital Stock issuable upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities shall be deemed
to be outstanding, provided that no further adjustment shall be made upon the actual issuance of Capital
Stock upon exercise, exchange or conversion of such Convertible Securities.

         (j)  When De Minimis Adjustment May Be Deferred.
              ------------------------------------------

         No adjustment in the Conversion Rate shall be required unless such adjustment would require an
increase or decrease of at least 1% in such rate; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of
                                                  --------  -------
the foregoing are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment.  All calculations shall be made by the Issuer and shall be rounded to the sixth decimal place.
No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock and no
adjustment shall be deferred beyond the date on which a share of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock is
converted.

         SECTION 8.1

         (a)      Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, unless all Convertible Exchangeable Preferred

Holder's Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to an offer (the "Exchangeable Preferred Change of
                                                                             ---------------------------------

                  (v)      that Holders of outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock electing to

         prior to the Purchase Date;

                  (vii)    that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Issuer, or the
         Transfer Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later than the expiration of the Offer Period, a
         telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the
         aggregate liquidation preference of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock the Holder
         delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such
         Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock purchased; and

                  (viii)   that Holders whose shares of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock are purchased
         only in part shall be issued new Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock equal in liquidation
         preference to the unpurchased portion of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock surrendered

         liquidation preference or an integral multiple thereof.

         (b)      On (or at the Issuer's election, before) the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall:

                  (i)      to the extent lawful, accept for payment, the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable

Section 8.3 by virtue thereof.

         SECTION 8.4  Prior to complying with the provisions of this Article 8, but in any event within 90
days following a Change of Control, the Issuer will either use commercially reasonable efforts to repay all
outstanding Senior Debt or obtain the requisite consents, if any, under all agreements governing outstanding

         payments, principal payments, dividends or other distributions or payments, or the sale or other
         disposition (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) thereof made by the Issuer and its
         Restricted Subsidiaries and (B) a cash dividend from, or the sale (other than to the Issuer or a
         Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of, an Unrestricted Subsidiary, plus

         (ii)     the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of any Junior Equity
Interests of the Issuer or Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for, or out of the net
cash proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer) of

                                       25

other Junior Equity Interests of the Issuer or Equity Interests of any Restricted Subsidiary  (including the
conversion of Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock into common stock of the Issuer), or a capital
contribution with respect to Junior Equity Interests of the Issuer (other than, in each case, any sale of or
capital contribution in respect of Disqualified Stock); provided that the amount of any such net cash
proceeds that are utilized for any such redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition
shall be excluded from clause (c) (ii) of Section 9.1;

         (iii)    the redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of Junior Equity
Interests upon a Change of Control to the extent required by the agreement or certificate of designation
governing such Junior Equity Interests, but only (x) if the Issuer shall have complied with Article 8 and
repurchased all Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to the offer required by such
covenant prior to purchasing or repaying such Junior Equity Interests, and (y) within six months after the
date such offer is consummated;

         (iv)     the payment of any dividend by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer to the holders of its
common Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;

         (v)      to the extent constituting Restricted Payments, the Specified Affiliate Payments; and

         (vi)     Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $10 million.

         The Board of Directors may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if
such designation would not cause a Voting Rights Triggering Event.  For purposes of making such
determination, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the
extent repaid in cash) in the Subsidiary so designated, to the extent they do not constitute Permitted
Investments at the time such Subsidiary became an Unrestricted Subsidiary, will be deemed to be Restricted
Payments made at the time of such designation.  The amount of such outstanding Investments will be equal to
the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of any Subsidiary of the Issuer at the time that such
Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary that is represented by the interest of the Issuer and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in such Subsidiary, in each case as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Issuer.  Such designation will only be permitted if such Restricted Payment would be
permitted at such time and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

         The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) shall be the fair market value on the date
of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Issuer or
such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.  The fair market value of
any non-cash Restricted Payment shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

         In making the computations required by this Article 9, (i) the Issuer or the relevant Restricted
Subsidiary may use audited financial statements for the portions of the relevant period for which audited
financial statements are available on the date of determination and unaudited financial statements and other
current financial data based on the books and records of the Issuer for the remaining portion of such period
and (ii) the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary will be permitted to rely in good faith on the
financial statements and other financial data derived from the books and records of the Issuer and the

                                       26

Restricted Subsidiary that are available on the date of determination.  If the Issuer makes a Restricted
Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would in the good faith determination of
the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary be permitted under the requirements of this Certificate of
Designation, such Restricted Payment will be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Certificate of
Designation notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the Issuer's or any Restricted
Subsidiary's financial statements, affecting Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for any period.

         For the avoidance of doubt, it is expressly agreed that no payment or other transaction permitted by
clauses (3), (4) and (5) of Section 12.2 shall be considered a Restricted Payment for purposes of, or
otherwise restricted by, this Certificate of Designation.

                                                  ARTICLE 10

                              INCURRENCE OF DEBT AND ISSUANCE OF PREFERRED STOCK

         SECTION 10.1  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to,
directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly
liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, "incur") any Debt and that the Issuer will
                                                                   -----
not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares
of Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Debt or
issue shares of Disqualified Stock and the Issuer's Restricted Subsidiaries may issue Preferred Stock, if the
Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Issuer's most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal
financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Debt is incurred
or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been at least 1.75 to 1.00, determined on
a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional
Debt had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at
the beginning of such four-quarter period.

         SECTION 10.2  The provisions of Section 10.1 will not apply to the incurrence of any of the
following items of Debt (collectively, "Permitted Debt"):
                                        --------------

         (i)      the incurrence of term and revolving Debt, letters of credit (with letters of credit being
deemed to have a principal amount equal to the undrawn face amount thereof) and other Debt under Credit
Facilities (including Guarantees by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries of synthetic lease drawings and
other loans under the Existing Credit Facility or of other Debt under Credit Facilities); provided that the
aggregate principal amount of such Debt outstanding pursuant to this clause (i) does not exceed an amount
equal to $250.0 million;

         (ii)     the incurrence by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Debt;

         (iii)    the incurrence by (A) the Issuer of Debt represented by the Notes, the Old Notes and the
Exchange Debentures and (B) the Guarantors of Debt represented by the Note

                                       27

Guarantees and the guarantors of
the Old Notes of Debt represented by their guarantees of the Old Notes;

         (iv)     the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Acquired Debt;

         (v)      the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing
Debt in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Debt (other than
intercompany Debt) that was permitted by this Certificate of Designation to be incurred;

         (vi)     the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Debt or
Preferred Stock owed or issued to and held by the Issuer and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, provided,
however, that (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests or other action that results in any
such Debt or Preferred Stock being held by a Person other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary and (B)
any sale or other transfer of any such Debt or Preferred Stock to a Person that is not either the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Debt or issuance of
such Preferred Stock by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted
by this clause (vi);

         (vii)    the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations
that are incurred (A) principally for the purpose of fixing or hedging interest rate risk with respect to any
floating rate Debt that is permitted by the terms of this Certificate of Designation to be outstanding or (B)
principally for the purpose of fixing or hedging currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk incurred
in the ordinary course of business;

         (viii)   the guarantee by the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary of Debt of the Issuer or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this section;
and

         (ix)     the incurrence by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Debt (which
may comprise Debt under the Existing Credit Facility) in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as
applicable) at any time outstanding pursuant to this clause (ix) not to exceed an amount equal to $20.0
million.

         For purposes of determining compliance with this Article 10, in the event that an item of Debt meets
the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (i) through (ix) of
Section 10.2, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to Section 10.1, the Issuer shall, in its sole
discretion, classify such item of Debt in any manner that complies with this Article 10 and such item of Debt
will be treated as having been incurred pursuant to only one of such clauses of Section 10.2 or pursuant to
Section 10.1 hereof.  Accrual of interest and the accretion of accreted value will be deemed not to be an
incurrence of Debt for purposes of this Article 10.

                                       28

                                                  ARTICLE 11

                       MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ALL OR SUBSTANTIALLY ALL ASSETS

         SECTION 11.1  The Issuer may not consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Issuer is the
surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions, to another Person unless:

         (i)      the Issuer is the surviving corporation or the Person formed by or surviving any such
consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease,
conveyance or other disposition shall have been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of
the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

         (ii)     the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for and
shall become shares of the surviving entity having in respect of such surviving entity substantially the same
rights and privileges that the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock had immediately prior to such
transaction with respect to the Issuer and shall not be subordinated to any Preferred Stock of the surviving
entity;

         (iii)    immediately after such transaction no Voting Rights Triggering Event shall exist; and

         (iv)     except in the case of a merger of the Issuer with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted
Subsidiary of the Issuer, the Issuer or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger
(if other than the Issuer), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other
disposition shall have been made will, at the time of such transaction and after giving pro forma effect
thereto as if such transaction had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, either
(x) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the Consolidated Coverage Ratio test
set forth in Section 10.1 or (y) have a Consolidated Coverage Ratio at least equal to the Consolidated
Coverage Ratio of the Issuer for such four-quarter reference period.

         SECTION 11.2  Notwithstanding clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 11.1, (a) any Restricted Subsidiary
may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer and (b)
the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate incorporated solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in
another jurisdiction.

                                                  ARTICLE 12

                                         TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

         SECTION 12.1  The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make
any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or
purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement,
understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate (each of the foregoing,
an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:
    ---------------------

                                       29

         (i)      such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the
Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable
transaction by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person; and

         (ii)     the Issuer delivers to the Transfer Agent (a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction
entered into after the Issue Date involving aggregate consideration in excess of $3.0 million, a resolution
of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officers' Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction
complies with clause (i) above and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the
members of the Board of Directors and (b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction involving aggregate
consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an opinion as to the fairness to the Holders of such Affiliate
Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm of
national standing.

         SECTION 12.2  The provisions of Section 12.1 shall not prohibit and the following shall not be
deemed to be Affiliate Transactions:

         (1)      transactions between or among the Issuer and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

         (2)      Permitted Investments and Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of this
Certificate of Designation described in Article 9;

         (3)      employment agreements, employee benefit plans and related arrangements entered into in the
ordinary course of business and all payments and other transactions contemplated thereby;

         (4)      any payments to Investcorp and its Affiliates (whether or not such Persons are Affiliates of
the Issuer) (A) for any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement services or in respect of
other investment banking activities, including in connection with acquisitions or divestitures, which
payments are approved by the Board of Directors of the Issuer in good faith and (B) of annual management,
consulting and advisory fees and related expenses;

         (5)      any agreement in effect on the Old Issue Date (including the Recapitalization Agreement,
Services Agreement between the Berkshire Companies Limited Partnership and the Issuer (as amended), the
Brevard lease agreement, the Warrant and Preferred Stock Subscription Agreement between the Issuer and
Investcorp and or/or one of more of its affiliates or designees) or any amendment thereto (so long as any
such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect) or any payment or other
transaction contemplated by any of the foregoing; and

         (6)      Debt permitted by clause (ix) of Section 10.2 hereof to the extent such Debt is on terms
that, taken as a whole, are no less favorable to the Issuer or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those
that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction with an unrelated Person.

                                                  ARTICLE 13

                                           DISCHARGE AND DEFEASANCE

         SECTION 13.1  Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.
                       ----------------------------------------

         (a)      The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth
in an Officers' Certificate, at any time, elect to have either Section 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) hereof be applied
to all outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article 13.

         (b)      Upon the Issuer's exercise under Section 13.1(a) hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 13.1(b), the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.2
hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Legal
                                                                                                     ------
Defeasance").  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and
----------
discharged all the obligations represented by the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, which
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes
of Section 13.3 hereof and the other Sections of this Certificate of Designation referred to in (i) and (ii)
below, and to have satisfied all their other obligations under such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
and this Certificate of Designation (and the Transfer Agent, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to receive solely from the trust fund described in this Article 13,
as more fully set forth in such Article and payments in respect of the liquidation preference of, accumulated
and unpaid dividends on such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock when such payments are due and (ii)
this Article 13.  Subject to compliance with this Article 13, the Issuer may exercise its option under this
Section 13.1(b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 13.1(c) hereof.

         (c)      Upon the Issuer's exercise under Section 13.1(a) hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 13.1(c), the Issuer shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.2
hereof, be released from its obligations under Articles 8, 9, 10, 12, and Sections 11.1(iv) and 15.6 hereof
with respect to the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock on and after the date the conditions
set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "Covenant Defeasance"), and the Convertible Exchangeable
                                             -------------------
Preferred Stock shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
Articles and Section, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all the other purposes hereunder (it
being understood that such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall not be deemed outstanding for
accounting purposes).  For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect of any term, condition
or limitation set forth in any such Article or Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Article or Section or by reason of any reference in any such Article
or Section to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Voting Rights Triggering

                                       31

Event under Section 6.2 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Certificate of Designation and such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be
unaffected thereby.

         SECTION 13.2.  Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.  The following shall be the conditions to
                        ------------------------------------------
the application of either Section 13.1(b) or 13.1(c) hereof to the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable
Preferred Stock:

         In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

         (a)      the Issuer must irrevocably deposit with the Transfer Agent, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in United States dollars, Government Notes, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay
the aggregate liquidation preference of, and accumulated and unpaid dividends on the outstanding Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable Redemption Date, as
the case may be;

         (b)      in the case of an election under Section 13.1(b) hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to
the Transfer Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent
confirming that (A) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (B) since the date hereof, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax
law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the
Holders of the outstanding Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will not recognize income, gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred;

         (c)      in the case of an election under Section 13.1(c) hereof, the Issuer shall have delivered to
the Transfer Agent an Opinion of Counsel in the United States, subject to customary assumptions and
exclusions, reasonably acceptable to the Transfer Agent confirming that the Holders of the outstanding
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had
not occurred;

         (d)      no Voting Rights Triggering Event shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit (other than a Voting Rights Triggering Event resulting from the Incurrence of Debt) all or a portion
of the proceeds of which will be used to defease the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock pursuant to
this Article 13 concurrently with such Incurrence;

         (e)      such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Certificate of
Designation) to which the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Issuer or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound;

         (f)      the Issuer shall have delivered to the Transfer Agent an Opinion of Counsel, subject to
customary assumptions and exclusions, to the effect that after the 91st day following the deposit pursuant to
Section 13.2(a), the trust funds will not be part of any "estate" formed by the bankruptcy or reorganization

                                       32

of the Issuer or subject to the "automatic stay" under the Bankruptcy Code or recoverable as a preferential
transfer in a bankruptcy case of the Issuer, or in the case of a Covenant Defeasance, will be subject to a
first priority lien in favor of the Transfer Agent for the benefit of the Holders;

         (g)      the Issuer shall have delivered to the Transfer Agent an Officers' Certificate stating that
the deposit was not made by the Issuer with the intent of preferring the Holders over any other creditors of
the Issuer or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other creditors of the
Issuer; and

         (h)      the Issuer shall have delivered to the Transfer Agent an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

         SECTION 13.3.  Deposited Money and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
                        -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisions.  Subject to Section 13.4 hereof, all money and Government Notes (including the proceeds thereof)
----------
deposited with the Transfer Agent (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
13.3, the "Transfer Agent") pursuant to Section 13.2 hereof in respect of the outstanding Convertible
           --------------
Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be held in trust and applied by the paying agent, in accordance with the
provisions of such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock and this Certificate of Designation, to the
payment, either directly or through any paying agent (including the Issuer acting as paying agent) as the
Transfer Agent may determine, to the Holders of such Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock of all sums due
and to become due thereon in respect of the liquidation preference of and accumulated and unpaid dividends on
the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

         Anything in this Article 13 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Transfer Agent shall deliver or pay
to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of the Issuer any money or Government Notes held by it as
provided in Section 13.2 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Transfer Agent (which may be the
opinion delivered under Section 13.2(a) hereof), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

         SECTION 13.4.  Repayment to Issuer.  Any money deposited with the Transfer Agent or any paying
                        -------------------
agent, or then held by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the aggregate liquidation preference of, and
accumulated and unpaid dividends on, and remaining unclaimed for two years after such amounts have become due
and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged
from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all liability of the Transfer Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of any paying agent (including the Issuer as paying agent) thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Transfer Agent or paying agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published once, in the Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not

                                       33

be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money
then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.

         SECTION 13.5.  Reinstatement.  If the Transfer Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or
                        -------------
Government Notes in accordance with this Article 13 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer's
obligations under this Certificate of Designation and the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock shall be
revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 13 until such time as the
Transfer Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with this Article 13; provided, however,
that, if the Issuer makes any payment on account of the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock following
the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock to receive such payment from the money held by the Transfer Agent or
any paying agent.

otherwise agreed to by the Issuer and the Holders of any such certificates, bear a legend substantially to
the following effect:

         THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "SECURITIES
ACT"), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR OTHER JURISDICTION.  NEITHER THIS SECURITY NOR ANY INTEREST OR
PARTICIPATION HEREIN MAY BE REOFFERED, SOLD, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, ENCUMBERED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED

RESTRICTIONS.

in a form and from counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer.  All stock certificates evidencing Conversion
Shares issued upon registration of transfer, division or combination of, or in substitution for, any stock
certificate entitled to bear such legend shall have a similar legend thereon.  Whenever the restrictions
imposed by this Section 16.2 shall terminate as to any Conversion Shares, the holder thereof shall be

         SECTION 17.1  The certificates representing the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock will be

receive physical delivery of a physical certificate for their Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock
("Certificated Preferred Stock") which shall bear the legend referred to in Section 16.1.  Ownership of
------------------------------
beneficial interests in Certificated Preferred Stock will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership
will be effected only through, records maintained by the Transfer Agent (or the Issuer in the event that no

         SECTION 17.2  At the option of a majority in interest of the Holders, the certificates representing
the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock may be converted into one or more permanent global Convertible
Exchangeable Preferred Stock certificates in definitive, fully registered form (each a "Restricted Global
                                                                                        ------------------
Preferred Stock Certificate") and be deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of a nominee

                                       39

Owners of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Preferred Stock
Certificate will generally not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Certificated Preferred Stock.

         Upon the issuance of the Restricted Global Preferred Stock Certificates, DTC or its custodian will
credit, on its internal system, the respective liquidation preference of the individual beneficial interests
represented by such Restricted Global Preferred Stock Certificates, to the accounts of Persons who have
accounts with such depositary.  Ownership of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Preferred Stock
Certificate will be limited to Persons who have accounts with DTC ("participants") or Persons who hold
                                                                    ------------
interests through participants.  Ownership of beneficial interests in a Restricted Global Preferred Stock
Certificate will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records
maintained by DTC or its nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of participants
(with respect to interests of Persons other than participants).

         So long as DTC, or its nominee, is the registered owner or holder of a Restricted Global Preferred
Stock Certificate, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of
the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock represented by such Restricted Global Preferred Stock
Certificate for all purposes under the Certificate of Designation and the Convertible Exchangeable Preferred
Stock.  No beneficial owner of an interest in a Restricted Global Preferred Stock Certificate will be able to
transfer that interest except in accordance with DTC's applicable procedures, in addition to those provided
for under this Certificate of Designation.

         Payments made with respect to the Restricted Global Preferred Stock Certificates will be made to DTC
or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner thereof.  The Issuer will not have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of
beneficial ownership interests in a Restricted Global Preferred Stock Certificate or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

         If DTC is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for the Restricted Global
Preferred Stock Certificates and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Issuer within 90 days, the
Issuer will issue Certificated Preferred Stock, which may bear the legend referred to in Section 16.1 in
exchange for the Restricted Global Preferred Stock Certificates.

Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries incurs, assumes, Guarantees, redeems or repays any Debt (other
than revolving credit borrowings) or issues or redeems Preferred Stock subsequent to the commencement of the
period for which the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is being calculated but prior to the date on which the event

Consolidated Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro forma effect to such incurrence, assumption,
Guarantee, redemption or repayment of Debt, or such issuance or redemption of Preferred Stock, as if the same
had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four quarter reference period.  For purposes of making the
computation referred to above, Investments, acquisitions, dispositions, mergers and consolidations that have
been made by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries during the four-quarter reference period or

discontinued operations (and the reduction or increase of any associated Consolidated Interest Expense and
the change in Consolidated Cash Flow resulting therefrom, including because of reasonably anticipated cost
savings) had occurred on the first day of the four-quarter reference period.  If since the beginning of such
period any Person (that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Issuer or
any Restricted Subsidiary since the beginning of such period) shall have made any Investment, acquisition,
disposition, merger or consolidation or determined a discontinued operation, that would have required
adjustment pursuant to this definition, then the Consolidated Coverage Ratio shall be calculated giving pro
forma effect thereto for such period as if such Investment, acquisition, disposition, merger or consolidation
or discontinued operations had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period.  For purposes
of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to a transaction, the pro forma calculations
shall be made in good faith by a financial or accounting officer of the Issuer.  If any Debt to which pro
forma effect is given bears interest at a floating rate, the interest expense on such Debt shall be
calculated as if the rate in effect on the Calculation Date had been the applicable interest rate for the
entire period (taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement in effect on the Calculation Date).  Interest
on a Capital Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate reasonably determined by a
responsible financial or accounting officer of the Issuer to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capital
Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.  Interest on Debt that may optionally be determined at an interest

                                       44

rate chosen as the Issuer may designate.

payments, the interest component of any deferred payment obligations, the interest component of all payments
associated with Capital Lease Obligations, commissions, discounts and other fees and charges incurred in
respect of letter of credit or bankers' acceptance financings, and net payments (if any) pursuant to Hedging
Obligations relating to Interest Rate Agreements or Currency Agreements with respect to Debt, excluding,
however, (A) amortization of debt issuance costs, commissions, fees and expenses, (B) customary commitment,
administrative and transaction fees and charges and (C) expenses attributable to letters of credit or similar
arrangements supporting insurance certificates issued to customers in the ordinary course of business), (ii)
any interest expense on Debt of another Person that is Guaranteed by or secured by a Lien on assets of such
Person or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries (but only to the extent such Guarantee or Lien has then been
called upon), and (iii) cash dividends paid in respect of any Preferred Stock of such Person or any

that is accounted for by the equity method of accounting shall be included only to the extent of the amount
of dividends or distributions paid in cash to the referent Person or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person,
(ii) the Net Income of any Restricted Subsidiary shall be excluded to the extent that the declaration or
payment of dividends or similar distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary of that Net Income is not at the
date of determination permitted without any prior governmental approval (that has not been obtained) or,
directly or indirectly, prohibited by operation of the terms of its charter or any agreement, instrument,
judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or governmental regulation applicable to that Restricted Subsidiary or
its stockholders unless such restriction with respect to the payment of dividends has been permanently
waived, (iii) except for purposes of calculating "Consolidated Cash Flow," the Net Income of any Person
acquired in a pooling of interests transaction for any period prior to the date of such acquisition shall be
excluded, (iv) the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles shall be excluded (effected either
through cumulative effect adjustment or a retroactive application, in each case, in accordance with GAAP),
(v) to the extent deducted in determining Net Income, the fees, expenses and other costs incurred in
connection with the Recapitalization or the Financial Restructuring, including payments to management
contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement, shall be excluded, and (vi) to the extent deducted in
determining Net Income, any non-cash charges resulting from any write-up, write-down or write-off of assets,
of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with the Recapitalization or the Financial
Restructuring, shall be excluded.
