consecutive fiscal quarters ending prior to the date of such determination and
as to which financial statements are available to (B) Consolidated
Interest Expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for such four
fiscal quarters; provided, however,
that:


 


(1)       if such Person or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries has incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such
period through the determination date that remains outstanding or if the
transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage
Ratio is an incurrence of Indebtedness, or both, EBITDA and Consolidated
Interest Expense for such Person for such period shall be calculated after
giving effect on a pro forma basis
to (A) such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been incurred on the
first day of such period, and (B) the discharge of any other Indebtedness
repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged with the proceeds of such
new Indebtedness as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such
period;


 


(2)       if since the beginning of
such period any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has been repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged
(other than Indebtedness under a revolving credit or similar arrangement unless
such revolving credit Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and has not been
replaced), Consolidated Interest Expense for such Person for such period shall
be calculated after giving pro forma
effect thereto as if such Indebtedness had been repaid, repurchased, defeased
or otherwise discharged on the first day of such period;


 


(3)       if since the beginning of
such period such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall have made
any Asset Sale or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the
Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Asset Sale, EBITDA for such Person for such
period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if positive)
attributable to the assets which are the subject of such Asset Sale for such
period or increased by an amount equal to the EBITDA (if negative) attributable
thereto for such period, and Consolidated Interest Expense for such Person for
such period shall be (A) reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated
Interest Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of such Person or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries repaid, repurchased, defeased or otherwise discharged
with respect to such Person and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in
connection with such Asset Sale for such period (or, if the Capital Stock of
any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person is sold, transferred or otherwise
disposed of, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such Person for such period
directly attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the
extent such Person and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer
liable for such Indebtedness after such sale, transfer or other disposition)
and (B) increased by interest income attributable to the assets which are
the subject of such Asset Sale for such period;


 


6

















 


(4)       if since the beginning of
such period such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (by merger or
otherwise) shall have made an Asset Acquisition, EBITDA and Consolidated
Interest Expense for such Person for such period shall be calculated after
giving pro forma effect thereto (including the
incurrence of any Indebtedness) as if such Asset Acquisition occurred on the
first day of such period; and


 


(5)       if since the beginning of
such period any Person that subsequently became a Restricted Subsidiary of such
Person or was merged with or into such Person or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries since the beginning of such period shall have made any Asset Sale
or Asset Acquisition that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (3) or
(4) above if made by such Person or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Person
during such period, EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period
for such Person shall be calculated after giving pro forma
effect thereto as if such Asset Sale or Asset Acquisition occurred on the first
day of such period.


 


For purposes of this definition,
whenever pro forma effect is to be given to an
Asset Acquisition, the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the
amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness
incurred in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations
shall be determined in accordance with GAAP and Regulation S-X under the
Securities Act, to the extent applicable, and may take into account such
reasonable additional expense synergies and other adjustments determined, in
each case, in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of
the Company to the extent permitted by GAAP and Regulation S-X. Any Person that
is a Restricted Subsidiary on the determination date will be deemed to have
been a Restricted Subsidiary at all times during such four-quarter period and
any Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary on the determination date will
be deemed not to have been a Restricted Subsidiary at any time during such
four-quarter period. If any Indebtedness bears a floating rate of interest and
is being given pro forma effect, the interest
expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated as if the rate in effect on
the date of determination had been the applicable rate for the entire period
(taking into account any Interest Rate Agreement applicable to such
Indebtedness if such Interest Rate Agreement has a remaining term that extends
at least until the end of such period).


 


“Consolidated
Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period,
the total interest expense of such Person and its Restricted Subsidiaries for
such period as determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP
(including commitment fees, letter of credit fees and the interest component of
Capital Lease Obligations), including the net amounts paid or received under
all Interest Rate Agreements, plus, to the extent not included in such interest
expense and without duplication, (1) amortization of debt discount, (2) capitalized
interest, (3) non-cash interest expense, (4) any interest expense on
Indebtedness of another Person that is guaranteed by such Person or one of its
Restricted Subsidiaries or secured by a Lien on assets of such Person or one of
its Restricted Subsidiaries, whether or not such Guarantee or Lien is called
upon, (5) the interest portion of any deferred payment obligation, and (6) the
product of (x) all cash and Disqualified Stock dividends in respect of all
Disqualified Stock of such Person held by Persons other than such Person or a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Person times (y) a fraction, the numerator
of which is one and the denominator of which is 


 


7

















 


one
minus the then current effective consolidated federal, state and local tax rate
of such Person, expressed as a decimal, and less, to the extent included in
such total interest expense, the amortization of capitalized debt issuance
costs.


 


“Consolidated
Net Income” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the
net income (loss) of such Person and its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries
for such period determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that
there shall not be included in such Consolidated Net Income (1) the net
income (but not loss) of any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person to the extent
that the declaration or payment of dividends or similar distributions by such
Restricted Subsidiary was not permitted (without giving effect to any
non-permanent waiver), directly or indirectly, by operation of the terms of its
charter or any agreement, instrument, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or
governmental regulation applicable to such Restricted Subsidiary, (2) any
gains or losses realized upon the sale or other disposition of any assets of
such Person or its consolidated Restricted Subsidiaries not sold or disposed of
in the ordinary course of business (including Capital Stock or pursuant to any
sale and leaseback transaction), (3) any non-recurring or extraordinary
gain or loss (including expenses related to the issuance of the Notes), (4) the
net income of any Person accrued prior to the date it became a Restricted
Subsidiary of the referent Person or is merged or consolidated with the
referent Person or a Restricted Subsidiary of the referent Person, (5) the
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principles, (6) subject to
clause (7) below, the net income (but not loss) of any Person that is not
a Restricted Subsidiary or that is accounted for by the equity method of
accounting, except to the extent of the amount of dividends or similar
distributions paid in cash to the specified Person or a Restricted Subsidiary
of the Person, (7) the net income (or loss) of any Unrestricted
Subsidiary, whether or not distributed to the specified Person or one of its
Restricted Subsidiaries, (8) any restoration to income of any contingency
reserve, except to the extent that provision for such reserve was made out of
Consolidated Net Income accrued at any time following the Original Issue Date,

aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed
thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes
represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased, as
appropriate, to reflect exchanges and redemptions.  Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the aggregate principal amount of
outstanding Notes represented thereby will be made by the Trustee or the
Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in accordance with instructions
given by the Holder thereof as required by Section 2.06 hereof.

Section 2.02.                         Execution and
Authentication.


 


An Officer shall sign the
Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.  The Company’s seal may be reproduced on the
Notes and may be in facsimile form.


 


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


 


A Note shall not be valid
until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Note has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 


The Trustee shall, upon a
written order of the Company signed by an Officer (an “Authentication
Order”) accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, authenticate Notes
for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including
any Additional Notes issued in lieu of interest payment on the Initial Notes as
permitted by Section 5.09 hereof and paragraph “1. Interest” in the form
of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto or, subject to the satisfaction of
all of the covenants in this Indenture, including, without limitation, Sections
5.09 and 5.12 of this Indenture, in each case in the form of Exhibit A
hereto, as part of the same series as the Initial Notes.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes
outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes
permitted to be incurred under this Indenture and authorized for issuance by
the Company pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided
in Section 2.07 hereof.


 


The Trustee may appoint an
authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Notes.  An authenticating agent may authenticate
Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. 
Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee
includes authentication by such agent. 
An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with
Holders or an Affiliate of the Company.


 


Section 2.03.                         Registrar,
Paying Agent and Depositary.


 


The Company shall maintain
an office or agency where Notes may be presented for registration of transfer
or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or
agency where Notes may


 


30

















 


be
presented for payment (“Paying Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a register of the
Notes and of their transfer and exchange. 
The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one or more
additional paying agents.  The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar, and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
paying agent.  The Company may change any
Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to the Holders.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to this
Indenture.  If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such.  The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


The Company initially
appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent and to act as the
Custodian with respect to the Global Notes and as agent for service of notices
and demands.  The Company initially appoints
DTC to act as Depositary with respect to the Global Notes.


 


Section 2.04.                         Paying Agent to
Hold Money in Trust.


 


The Company shall require
each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in writing that the Paying
Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of Holders or the Trustee all money
held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or
interest on the Notes, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the
Company in making any such payment. 
While any such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent
to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. 
The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee.  Upon payment over
to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary)
shall have no further liability for the money. 
If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders all money held
by it as Paying Agent.  Upon any
bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee
shall serve as Paying Agent for the Notes.


 


Section 2.05.                         Holder Lists.


 


The Trustee shall preserve
in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list
available to it of the names and addresses of all Holders and shall otherwise
comply with TIA § 312(a).  If the Trustee
is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee at least seven (7) Business
Days before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee
may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders and the
Company shall otherwise comply with TIA § 312(a).


 


Section 2.06.                         Transfer and
Exchange.


 


(a)                                  Transfer
and Exchange of Global Notes.  A Global Note may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of
the Depositary to the Depositary or to another nominee of the Depositary, or by
the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of
such successor Depositary.  All Global
Notes will be exchanged by the Company for Definitive Notes if:


 


(i)                                     the Company delivers to the
Trustee notice from the Depositary that it is unwilling or unable to continue
to act as Depositary or that it is no longer a clearing


 


31

















 


agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in either case, a
successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 120 days after the
date of such notice from the Depositary;


 


(ii)                                  the Company in its sole
discretion determines that the Global Notes (in whole but not in part) should
be exchanged for Definitive Notes and delivers a written notice to such effect
to the Trustee; or


 


(iii)                               there has occurred and is
continuing a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes.


 


Upon the occurrence of
either of the preceding events in (i) or (ii) above, Definitive Notes
shall be issued in such names as the Depositary shall instruct the Trustee.  Global Notes also may be exchanged or
replaced, in whole or in part, as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.10
hereof.  Every Note authenticated and
delivered in exchange for, or in lieu of, a Global Note or any portion thereof,
pursuant to this Section 2.06 or Section 2.07 or 2.10 hereof, shall
be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global
Note.  A Global Note may not be exchanged
for another Note other than as provided in this Section 2.06(a), however,
beneficial interests in a Global Note may be transferred and exchanged as
provided in Section 2.06(b), (c) or (d) hereof.


 


(b)                                 Transfer
and Exchange of Beneficial Interests in the Global Notes.  The transfer and exchange of beneficial
interests in the Global Notes will be effected through the Depositary, in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Applicable
Procedures.  Beneficial interests in the
Restricted Global Notes will be subject to restrictions on transfer comparable
to those set forth herein to the extent required by the Securities Act.  Transfers of beneficial interests in the
Global Notes also will require compliance with either subparagraph (i) or (ii) below,
as applicable, as well as one or more of the other following subparagraphs, as
applicable:


 


(i)                                     Transfer of Beneficial
Interests in the Same Global Note.  Beneficial interests in any Restricted Global
Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of a
beneficial interest in the same Restricted Global Note in accordance with the
transfer restrictions set forth in the Private Placement Legend; provided, however, that
prior to the expiration of the Distribution Compliance Period, transfers of
beneficial interests in the Regulation S Global Note may not be made to a U.S.
Person or for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person (other than the Initial
Purchasers).  Beneficial interests in any
Unrestricted Global Note may be transferred to Persons who take delivery
thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note.  No written orders or instructions shall be
required to be delivered to the Registrar to effect the transfers described in
this Section 2.06(b)(i).


 


(ii)                                  All Other Transfers and

Registrar receives the following:

Unrestricted Global Note.  A
beneficial interest in any Restricted Global Note may be exchanged by any

transferred to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial
interest in an Unrestricted Global Note if the exchange or transfer complies
with the requirements of Section 2.06(b)(ii) above and:


 


(1)                                  such transfer is effected

shall issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02
hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of
beneficial interests transferred pursuant to subparagraph (ii) or (iv) above.

or transfer such Definitive Note to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the
form of a beneficial interest in an Unrestricted Global Note at any time.  Upon receipt of a request for such an
exchange or transfer, the Trustee will cancel the applicable Unrestricted Definitive
Note and increase or cause to be increased the aggregate principal amount of
one of the Unrestricted Global Notes.


 


If any such exchange or
transfer from a Definitive Note to a beneficial interest is effected pursuant
to subparagraphs (ii) or (iii) of this subsection (d) at a time
when an Unrestricted Global Note has not yet been issued, the Company will
issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02
hereof, the Trustee will authenticate one or more Unrestricted Global Notes in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of Definitive Notes
so transferred.


 


(e)                                  Transfer
and Exchange of Definitive Notes for Definitive Notes.  Upon request by a Holder of Definitive Notes
and such Holder’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.06(e),
the Registrar will register the transfer or exchange of Definitive Notes.  Prior to such registration of transfer or
exchange, the requesting Holder must present or surrender to the Registrar the
Definitive Notes duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Registrar duly executed by such Holder or
by its attorney, duly authorized in writing. 
In addition, the requesting Holder must provide any additional
certifications, documents and information, as applicable, required pursuant to
the following provisions of this Section 2.06(e).


 


(i)                                     Restricted Definitive Notes
to Restricted Definitive Notes.  Any Restricted Definitive Note may be
transferred to and registered in the name of Persons who take delivery thereof
in the form of a Restricted Definitive Note if the Registrar receives the
following:


 


(1)                                  if the transfer will be made
pursuant to Rule 144A, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in
the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications in item (1) thereof;


 


(2)                                  if the transfer will be made
pursuant to Rule 903 or Rule 904, then the transferor must deliver a
certificate in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including the certifications
in item (2) thereof; or


 


(3)                                  if the transfer will be made
pursuant to any other exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act, then the transferor must deliver a certificate in the form of Exhibit B
hereto, including the certifications, certificates and Opinion of Counsel
required by item (3) thereof, if applicable.

(ii)                                  Restricted Definitive Notes
to Unrestricted Definitive Notes.  Any Restricted Definitive Note may be
exchanged by the Holder thereof for an Unrestricted Definitive Note or
transferred to a Person or Persons who take delivery thereof in the form of an
Unrestricted Definitive Note if:


 


(1)                                  such transfer is effected
pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement in accordance with the
Registration Rights Agreement; or


 


(2)                                  the Registrar receives the
following:


 


(A)                              if the Holder of such
Restricted Definitive Note proposes to exchange such Note for an Unrestricted
Definitive Note, a certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit C
hereto, including the certifications in item (1)(d) thereof; or


 


(B)                                if the Holder of such
Restricted Definitive Note proposes to transfer such Note to a Person who shall
take delivery thereof in the form of an Unrestricted Definitive Note, a
certificate from such Holder in the form of Exhibit B hereto, including
the certifications in item (4) thereof;


 


and, in each such case set
forth in this subparagraph (ii), if the Registrar so requests, an Opinion of
Counsel in form reasonably acceptable to the Registrar to the effect that such
exchange or transfer is in compliance with the Securities Act and that the
restrictions on transfer contained herein and in the Private Placement Legend
are no longer required in order to maintain compliance with the Securities Act.


 


(iii)                               Unrestricted Definitive
Notes to Unrestricted Definitive Notes.  A Holder of Unrestricted Definitive Notes may
transfer such Notes to a Person who takes delivery thereof in the form of an
Unrestricted Definitive Notes.  Upon
receipt of a request to register such a transfer, the Registrar shall register
the Unrestricted Definitive Notes pursuant to the instructions from the Holder
thereof.


 


Concurrently with the
issuance of such Notes, the Trustee will cause the aggregate principal amount
of the applicable Restricted Global Notes to be reduced accordingly, and the
Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to the
Persons designated by the Holders of Definitive Notes so accepted Unrestricted
Definitive Notes in the appropriate principal amount.


 


(f)                                    Legends.  The following legends will appear on the face
of all Global Notes and Definitive Notes issued under this Indenture unless
specifically stated otherwise in the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

IN (A) ABOVE.”


 


(2)                                  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any Global Note or Definitive Note issued pursuant to subsections
(b)(iv), (c)(ii), (c)(iii), (d)(ii), (d)(iii), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii) of
this Section 2.06 (and all Notes issued in exchange therefore or
substitution thereof) will not bear the Private Placement Legend.


 


(ii)                                  Global Note Legend.  Each Global Note will bear a legend in
substantially the following form:


 


“THIS GLOBAL NOTE IS HELD BY
THE DEPOSITARY (AS DEFINED IN THE INDENTURE GOVERNING THIS NOTE) OR ITS NOMINEE
IN CUSTODY FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE BENEFICIAL OWNERS HEREOF, AND IS NOT
TRANSFERABLE TO ANY PERSON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES EXCEPT THAT (1) THE

DEPOSITARY OR BY A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITARY TO THE DEPOSITARY OR ANOTHER

(g)                                 Cancellation
and/or Adjustment of Global Notes.  At such time as all beneficial interests in a
particular Global Note have been exchanged for Definitive Notes or a particular
Global Note has been redeemed, repurchased or canceled in whole and not in
part, each such Global Note will be returned to or retained and canceled by the
Trustee in accordance with Section 2.11 hereof.  At any time prior to such cancellation, if
any beneficial interest in a Global Note is exchanged for or transferred to a
Person who will take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in
another Global Note or for Definitive Notes, the principal amount of Notes
represented by such Global Note will be reduced accordingly and an endorsement will
be made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the
direction of the Trustee to reflect such reduction; and if the beneficial
interest is being exchanged for or transferred to a Person who will take
delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in another Global Note,
such other Global Note will be increased accordingly and an endorsement will be
made on such Global Note by the Trustee or by the Depositary at the direction
of the Trustee to reflect such increase.


 


(h)                                 General
Provisions Relating to Transfers and Exchanges.


 


(i)                                     To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Company will execute and the Trustee will
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes upon receipt of an
Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof or at the
Registrar’s request.


 


(ii)                                  No service charge will be
made to a holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note or to a Holder of a
Definitive Note for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company
may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes or similar governmental charge payable upon exchange or transfer
pursuant to Sections 2.10, 3.06, 3.08, 3.09, 5.10 and 10.05 hereof).


 


(iii)                               The Registrar will not be
required to register the transfer of or exchange of any Note selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being
redeemed in part.


 


(iv)                              All Global Notes and
Definitive Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Global
Notes or Definitive Notes will be the valid obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Global Notes or Definitive Notes surrendered upon such
registration of transfer or exchange.


 


(v)                                 Neither the Registrar nor
the Company will be required:


 


(1)                                  to issue, to register the
transfer of or to exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening
of business fifteen (15) days


 


43





















 


before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02
hereof and ending at the close of business on the day of selection;


 


(2)                                  to register the transfer of or
to exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the
unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part; or


 


(3)                                  to register the transfer of
or to exchange a Note between a record date and the next succeeding interest
payment date.


 


(vi)                              Prior to due presentment for
the registration of a transfer of any Note, the Trustee, any Agent and the
Company may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as
the absolute owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of and interest, premium, if any, on such Notes and for all other
purposes, and none of the Trustee, any Agent or the Company shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.


 


(vii)                           The Trustee will
authenticate Global Notes and Definitive Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.02 hereof.


 


(viii)                        All certifications,
certificates and Opinions of Counsel required to be submitted to the Registrar
pursuant to this Section 2.06 to effect a registration of transfer or
exchange may be submitted by facsimile.


 


Section 2.07.                         Replacement
Notes.


 


If any mutilated Note is
surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee receives evidence to
its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note, the Company
shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall
authenticate a replacement Note if the Trustee’s requirements are met.  If required by the Trustee or the Company, an
indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment
of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent
and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a
Note is replaced.  The Trustee or the
Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.


 


Every replacement Note is an
additional obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes
duly issued hereunder.


 


Section 2.08.                         Outstanding
Notes.


 


The Notes outstanding at any
time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee, except for those canceled
by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those reductions in the interest
in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions
hereof, and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.  Except as set forth in Section 2.09
hereof, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an
Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.


 


44

















 


If a Note is replaced
pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless the
Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a
protected purchaser.


 


If the principal amount of
any Note is considered paid under Section 5.01 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.


 


If the Paying Agent (other
than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a
redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay Notes payable on that
date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer
outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.


 


Section 2.09.                         Treasury Notes.


 


In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company or any Guarantor, or
by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company or any Guarantor, shall be
considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded.


 


Section 2.10.                         Temporary Notes.


 


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


 


Holders of temporary Notes
shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture.


 


Section 2.11.                         Cancellation.


 


The Company at any time may
deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. 
The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes
surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel all
Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement
or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes (subject to the record
retention requirement of the Exchange Act) according to its standard
procedures.  The Company may not issue
new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.12.                         Defaulted
Interest.


 


If the Company defaults in a
payment of interest on the Notes, it shall pay the defaulted interest in any
lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful and in accordance with the provisions
of the Collateral Agreements, if applicable, interest payable on the defaulted
interest, to the Persons


 


45

















 


who
are Holders on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 5.01 hereof.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on each Note
and the date of the proposed payment. 
The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date
and payment date, provided that no such special
record date shall be less than ten (10) days prior to the related payment
date for such defaulted interest.  At
least fifteen (15) days before the special record date, the Company (or, upon
the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name and at the expense
of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such
interest to be paid.


 


Section 2.13.                         CUSIP Numbers.


 


The Company in issuing the
Notes may use one or more CUSIP numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so,
the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or purchase or
exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided that
any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness
of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of
a redemption or purchase or exchange and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption
or purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such
numbers.  The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.


 


ARTICLE 3.

REDEMPTION AND PREPAYMENT


 


Section 3.01.                         Notices to Trustee.


 


If the Company elects to
redeem Notes pursuant to the redemption provisions of Section 3.07(a) or
3.07(b) hereof, it must furnish to the Trustee, at least forty-five (45)
days but not more than sixty (60) days before a redemption date, an Officer’s
Certificate setting forth:


 


(1)                                  the clause of
this Indenture pursuant to which the redemption shall occur;


 


(2)                                  the redemption
date;


 


(3)                                  the principal
amount of Notes to be redeemed; and


 


(4)                                  the redemption
price.


 


Section 3.02.                         Selection of
Notes to Be Redeemed or Purchased.


 


If the Company chooses to
redeem less than all of the Notes, selection of the Notes for redemption will
be made by the Trustee either (a) in compliance with the requirements of
the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Notes are
listed, or (b) if the Notes are not then listed on a national securities
exchange, on a pro rata basis or by such method as the Trustee may reasonably
determine is fair and appropriate.


 


In the event of partial
redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed or purchased
will be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than thirty (30)
nor


 


46

















 


more
than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption or purchase date by the Trustee
from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption or purchase.


 


The Trustee will promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption or purchase
and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption or purchase, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed or purchased.  Notes and portions of Notes selected will be
in amounts of $l,000 or whole multiples of $l,000; except that if all of the
Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed or purchased, the entire outstanding
amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be
redeemed or purchased.  Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to
Notes called for redemption or purchase also apply to portions of Notes called
for redemption or purchase.


 


Section 3.03.                         Notice of
Redemption.


 


At least thirty (30) days
but not more than sixty (60) days before a redemption date, the Company will
mail or cause to be mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that
redemption notices may be mailed more than sixty (60) days prior to a
redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the
Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Articles 9
or 13 hereof.


 


The notice will identify the
Notes to be redeemed and will state:


 


(1)                                  the redemption
date;


 


(2)                                  the redemption
price;


 


(3)                                  if any Note is
being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Note to be
redeemed and that, after the redemption date upon surrender of such Note, a new
Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be
issued upon cancellation of the original Note (or appropriate adjustments to
the amount and beneficial interests in the Global Note will be made);


 


(4)                                  the name and
address of the Paying Agent;


 


(5)                                  that Notes
called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the
redemption price;


 


(6)                                  that, unless
the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Notes
called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date;


 


(7)                                  the paragraph
of the Notes and/or Section of this Indenture pursuant to which the Notes called
for redemption are being redeemed; and


 


(8)                                  that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP number,
if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.


 


47

















 


At the Company’s request,
the Trustee will give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name and at its
expense; provided, however,
that the Company has delivered to the Trustee, at least forty-five (45) days
prior to the redemption date, an Officer’s Certificate requesting that the
Trustee give such notice and setting forth the information to be stated in such
notice as provided in the preceding paragraph.


 


Section 3.04.                         Effect of
Notice of Redemption.


 


Once notice of redemption is
mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes called for redemption
become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption
price.  A notice of redemption may not be
conditional.


 


Section 3.05.                         Deposit of
Redemption or Purchase Price.


 


One Business Day prior to the
redemption or purchase date, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with
the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption or purchase price of
and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed or purchased on that date.  The Trustee or the Paying Agent will promptly
return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent
by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption or
purchase price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be redeemed or purchased.


 


If the Company complies with
the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after the redemption or
purchase date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions of
Notes called for redemption or purchase. 
If a Note is redeemed or purchased on or after an interest record date
but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any accrued and
unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note was
registered at the close of business on such record date.  If any Note called for redemption or purchase
is not so paid upon surrender for redemption or purchase because of the failure
of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid
on the unpaid principal, from the redemption or purchase date until such
principal is paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such

Upon surrender of a Note
that is redeemed or purchased in part, the Company will issue and, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order, the Trustee will authenticate for the Holder at the
expense of the Company a new Note equal in principal amount to the unredeemed

(b)                                 At any time
prior to January 1, 2012, the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in
part, at a redemption price equal to the sum of: (1) the principal amount
thereof, plus (2) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption
date, plus (3) the Applicable Premium at the redemption date.  “Applicable Premium”
means, with respect to a Note at any time, the excess, if any, of (A) the
present value at such time of (i) the redemption price of such Note on January 1,
2012 (such redemption price being set forth in the table appearing in Section 3.07(a) above)
plus (ii) any required interest payments (excluding accrued and unpaid
interest to such redemption date) due on such Note through January 1,
2012, computed using a discount rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis
points, over (B) the principal amount of such Note.


 


(c)                                  Any redemption
pursuant to this Section 3.07 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.  Funds
payable in respect of the redemption price to be paid upon the redemption of
any Notes held by a Holder shall include such Holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the
amounts in the Escrow Account, with respect to such Holder’s Notes that are to
be redeemed.


 


Section 3.08.                         Repurchase at
Option of Holder Upon a Fundamental Change.


 


(a)                                  If there shall
occur a Fundamental Change at any time prior to the maturity of the Notes, then
each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the
Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that
is a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, for cash on a date designated by the
Company (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”)
that is not less than twenty (20) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date
of the Fundamental Change Notice (as defined in Section 3.08(b)) for such
Fundamental Change at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate
principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid
interest up to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after an interest payment record date
but on or prior to the corresponding interest payment date, the Company will
pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such interest payment
date to the Holder of record at the close of business on the corresponding
record date.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Notes may be surrendered for repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.08
in connection with a merger, consolidation or other transaction effected solely
for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to any
other state within the United States.


 


(b)                                 Within fifteen
(15) Business Days after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company,
or at its written request (which must be received by the Trustee at least five (5)


 


49





















 


Business Days prior to the date the Trustee
is requested to give notice as described below, unless the Trustee shall agree
in writing to a shorter period), the Trustee, in the name of and at the expense
of the Company, shall mail or cause to be mailed to all Holders of record on
the date of the Fundamental Change a notice (the “Fundamental
Change Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of
the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof.  If the Company shall give such notice, the
Company shall also deliver a copy of the Fundamental Change Notice to the
Trustee at such time as it is mailed to Holders.


 


Each Fundamental Change
Notice shall specify the circumstances constituting the Fundamental Change, the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the price at which the Company shall be
obligated to repurchase Notes, that the Holder must exercise the repurchase
right on or prior to the close of business on the Fundamental Change Repurchase
Date (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”),
that the Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered prior to
the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, a description of the procedure that a
Holder must follow to exercise such repurchase right and to withdraw any
surrendered Notes, the place or places where the Holder is to surrender such
Holder’s Notes, the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on each Note to the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date and the CUSIP number or numbers of the Notes
(if then generally in use).


 


No failure of the Company to
give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’
repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase
of the Notes pursuant to this Section 3.08.


 


(c)                                  Repurchases of
Notes under this Section 3.08 shall be made, at the option of the Holder
thereof, upon:


 


(i)                                     delivery to the Trustee at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by
the Company) by a Holder of a duly completed and executed notice (the “Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase”) in the form set forth
on the reverse of the Note prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time; and


 


(ii)                                  book-entry transfer or
delivery of the Notes, together with necessary endorsements, to the Trustee (or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) at any time simultaneous to or
after delivery of the Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase (together with all
necessary endorsements) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in The City of New York, Borough of
Manhattan, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the
repurchase price therefore; provided that such repurchase price shall be so
paid pursuant to this Section 3.08 only if the Note so delivered to the
Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) shall conform in all
respects to the description thereof in the related Option of Holder to Elect
Repurchase.


 


The Company shall purchase
from the Holder thereof, pursuant to this Section 3.08, a portion of a
Note, if the principal amount of such portion is $1,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000.  Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
the purchase of all of a Note also apply to the purchase of such portion of
such Note.


 


50
















 


Upon presentation of any
Note repurchased in part only, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s
written direction to the Trustee, the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a
new Note or Notes, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount
equal to the portion of the Notes presented that was not repurchased.


 


Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent
appointed by the Company) the Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase contemplated
by this Section 3.08 shall have the right to withdraw such Option of
Holder to Elect Repurchase at any time prior to the Fundamental Change
Expiration Time by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Trustee
(or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with Section 3.08(d) below.


 


The Trustee (or other Paying
Agent appointed by the Company) shall promptly notify the Company of the
receipt by it of any Option of Holder to Elect Repurchase or written notice of
withdrawal thereof.


 


For a Note, other than a
Global Note, to be so repurchased at the option of the Holder, the Company must
receive at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose or,
at the option of such Holder, the Corporate Trust Office in The City of New
York, Borough of Manhattan, such Note with the form entitled “Option of Holder
to Elect Repurchase” on the reverse thereof duly completed, together with such
Notes duly endorsed for transfer, on or before the Fundamental Change
Expiration Time.  All questions as to the
validity, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance of any Note
for repurchase shall be determined by the Company, whose determination shall be
final and binding absent manifest error.


 


(d)                                 An Option of
Holder to Elect Repurchase may be withdrawn by means of a written notice of
withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee (or other
Paying Agent appointed by the Company) in accordance with the Option of Holder
to Elect Repurchase at any time prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration
Time, specifying:


 


(i)                                     the principal amount of the
Note with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;


 


(ii)                                  the certificate number, if
any of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being
submitted, or the appropriate Depositary information if the Note in respect of
which notice of withdrawal is being submitted is represented by a Global Note;
and


 


(iii)                               the principal amount, if
any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Option of Holder to
Elect Repurchase.


 


(e)                                  The Company
shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Trustee or with one or more
Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 2.04 hereof) an amount
of money sufficient to repurchase on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Fundamental Change Repurchase Date all the Notes to be repurchased on such date
at the appropriate repurchase price, together with accrued and unpaid interest
up to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase 


 


51





















 


Date; provided that
if such payment is made on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date it must be
received by the Trustee or Paying Agent, as the case may be, by 10:00 a.m.
New York City time, on such date. 
Payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) prior
to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time will be made promptly (but in no
event more than five (5) Business Days) following the later of (x) the
Business Day immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, and (y) the
time of book-entry transfer or delivery of the Note surrendered for repurchase,
by (i) mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes
entitled thereto as they shall appear in the register of Holders or (ii) on
any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account
of the Depositary or its nominee.   Funds
payable in respect of the purchase price to be paid upon any such purchase of
any Notes held by a Holder shall include such Holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the
amounts in the Escrow Account, with respect to such Holder’s Notes that are to
be so purchased.


 


If on the Business Day
immediately following the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date the Trustee or
other Paying Agent appointed by the Company, or the Company if the Company is
acting as the Paying Agent, holds money sufficient to repurchase all of the
Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change
Repurchase Date, then, on and after such date, (i) the Notes will cease to
be outstanding, (ii) interest on the Notes will cease to accrue, and (iii) all
other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate, other than the right
to receive the repurchase price upon delivery of the Notes, in each instance
whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have
been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent.


 


(f)                                    The Company
will comply with the requirements of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any
other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act to the extent
applicable.  To the extent that the
provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions
of this Indenture governing an offer to purchase upon a Fundamental Change, the
Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and
will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the provisions of
this Indenture by virtue of such compliance.


 


(g)                                 Notwithstanding
this Section 3.08, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company at the
option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the
Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or
prior to such date.


 


Section 3.09.                         Offer to
Purchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.


 


In the event that, pursuant
to Section 5.10 hereof, the Company shall be required to commence an offer
to all Holders and to all holders of other senior secured Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to
those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem
with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum amount of Notes
and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may
be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds (an “Asset Sale
Offer”), it shall follow the procedures specified below.


 


The Asset Sale Offer shall
remain open for a period of twenty (20) Business Days following its
commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a longer period is
required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”).  As promptly as practicable and no later than
three (3) Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Purchase Date”), the Company


 


52

















 


shall
purchase the aggregate principal amount of Notes required to be purchased
pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof (the “Offer Amount”)
or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in
response to the Asset Sale Offer. 
Payment for any Notes so purchased shall be made in the same manner as
interest payments are made.  Funds
payable in respect of the purchase price to be paid upon any such purchase of
any Notes held by a Holder shall include such Holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the
amounts in the Escrow Account, with respect to such Holder’s Notes that are to
be so purchased.


 


If the Purchase Date is on
or after an interest record date and on or before the related interest payment
date, any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name
a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no
additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender Notes pursuant to
the Asset Sale Offer.


 


Upon the commencement of an
Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall send, by first class mail, a notice to the
Trustee and to each of the Holders, with a copy to the Trustee.  The notice shall contain all instructions and
materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the
Asset Sale Offer.  The Asset Sale Offer
shall be made to all Holders.  The
notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale Offer, shall state:


 


(1)                                  that the Asset
Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 3.09 and Section 5.10
hereof and the length of time the Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;


 


(2)                                  the Offer
Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;


 


(3)                                  that any Note
not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue to accrue interest;


 


(4)                                  that, unless
the Company defaults in making such payment, any Note accepted for payment
pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the
Purchase Date;


 


(5)                                  that Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer may elect to
have Notes purchased in integral multiples of $1,000 only;


 


(6)                                  that Holders
electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer shall be
required to surrender the Note, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to
Elect Repurchase” on the reverse of the Note completed, or transfer by
book-entry transfer, to the Company, a depositary, if appointed by the Company,
or a Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice no later than the expiration
of the Offer Period prior to the Purchase Date;


 


(7)                                  that Holders
shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company, the depositary or
the Paying 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 principal amount of the Note the Holder
delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his
election to have such Note purchased;


 


53

















 


(8)                                  that, if the
aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders exceeds the Offer
Amount, the Company shall select the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate
by the Company so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or integral
multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and


 


(9)                                  that Holders
whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be issued new Notes equal in
principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (or
transferred by book-entry transfer).


 


On or before the Purchase
Date, the Company shall, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the Offer Amount of
Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, or if less
than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered, and shall deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such Notes or portions
thereof were accepted for payment by the Company in accordance with the terms
of this Section 3.09.  If the
aggregate amount of Notes and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.  The
Company, the Depositary or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly
(but in any case not later than three (3) Business Days  after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver to
each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes
tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the
Company shall promptly issue a new Note, and the Trustee, upon written request
from the Company shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new Note to such
Holder, at the expense of the Company, in a principal amount equal to any
unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered. 
Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or delivered by the
Company to the Holder thereof.  The
Company shall publicly announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the
Purchase Date.


 


The Company will comply with
the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other
securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and
regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant
to an Asset Sale Offer.  To the extent
that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the
Asset Sale Offer provisions of this Indenture, the Company will comply with the
applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have
breached its obligations under the Asset Sale Offer provisions of this
Indenture by virtue of such compliance.

on overdue principal at the rate equal to 1% per annum in excess of the then
applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; it shall pay

to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the
failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders.


 


Section 5.06.                         Stay, Extension
and Usury Laws.


 


The Company and each of the
Guarantors covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they
shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and each of the
Guarantors (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they shall not, by
resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law has been enacted.


 


Section 5.07.                         Limitation on
Restricted Payments.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or
indirectly:  (i) declare or pay any
dividend or make any other payment or distribution on account of the Company’s
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (including, without
limitation, any payment in connection with any merger or consolidation
involving the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries) or to the direct or
indirect holders of the Company’s or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity
Interests in their capacity as such (other than dividends or distributions
payable in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Company or
dividends, payments or distributions payable to the Company or a Guarantor, or
payable by a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to any Restricted
Subsidiary); (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for
value (including, without limitation, in connection with any merger or
consolidation involving the Company) any Equity Interests of the Company or its
Restricted Subsidiaries (other than any such Equity Interests owned by the
Company or any Guarantor); (iii) make any payment on or with respect to,
or purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any
Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that is
contractually subordinated to the Notes or any Note Guarantee (excluding any
intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of the
Guarantors), except a payment of interest or principal at the Stated Maturity
thereof (for purposes of clarity, the Existing Notes will not be deemed to be
contractually subordinated to the Notes); or (iv) make any Restricted
Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (i) through
(iv) above being collectively referred to as “Restricted
Payments”), unless, at the time of and after giving effect to such
Restricted Payment:


 


(i)                                     no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur as a consequence
of such Restricted Payment;


 


57
















 


(ii)                                  the Company
would, at the time of such Restricted Payment and after giving pro forma effect
thereto as if such Restricted Payment had been made at the beginning of the
applicable four-quarter period, have been permitted to incur at least $1.00 of
additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Consolidated Coverage Ratio set forth
in Section 5.09; and


 


(iii)                               such Restricted
Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments
made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries since the Issue Date
(excluding Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (ii) through (viii) of
the following paragraph), is equal to or less than the sum, without
duplication, of: (A) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company for
the period (taken as one accounting period) from the beginning of the first
fiscal quarter commencing prior to the Issue Date to the end of the Company’s
most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are
available at the time of such Restricted Payment (or, if such Consolidated Net
Income for such period is a deficit, less 100% of such deficit); plus (B) 100%
of (1)(a) the aggregate net cash proceeds and (b) the Fair Market
Value of (x) marketable securities (other than marketable securities of
the Company or an Affiliate of the Company), (y) Capital Stock of a Person
(other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) engaged primarily in
any Permitted Business and (z) other assets used or useful in any
Permitted Business, in each case received by the Company since the Issue Date
as a contribution to its common equity capital (other than from its
Subsidiaries) or from the issue or sale of Equity Interests of the Company
(other than Disqualified Stock) or from the issue or sale of convertible or exchangeable
Disqualified Stock or convertible or exchangeable debt securities of the
Company that have been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests
(in each case other than Equity Interests (or Disqualified Stock or debt
securities) sold or issued to a Subsidiary of the Company), (2) with
respect to Indebtedness that is incurred on or after the Mandatory Redemption
Date, the amount by which such Indebtedness of the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries is reduced on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet
upon the conversion or exchange after the Issue Date of any such Indebtedness
into or for Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock),
and (3) the aggregate net cash proceeds, if any, received by the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon any conversion or exchange described
in clause (1) or (2) above; plus (C) with respect to Restricted
Investments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the
Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to, and that when made reduced the aggregate
amount of Restricted Payments available under, this paragraph (iii), an amount
equal to the sum, without duplication, of (1) the net reduction in such
Restricted Investments in any Person resulting from (i) repayments of loans
or advances, or other transfers of assets, in each case to the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary, (ii) other repurchases, repayments or redemptions
of such Restricted Investments, (iii) the sale of any such Restricted
Investment to a purchaser other than the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company
or (iv) the release of any Guarantee (except to the extent any amounts are
paid under such Guarantee) that constituted a Restricted Investment plus (2) with
respect to any Unrestricted Subsidiary designated as such after the Mandatory
Redemption Date is redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary after the Mandatory
Redemption Date, the lesser of (x) the Fair Market Value of the Company’s
Investment in such Subsidiary held by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries
at the time of such redesignation and (y) the amount of the Restricted
Investments made by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the
Mandatory Redemption Date pursuant to, and that when made reduced the aggregate
amount of Restricted Payments available under, this paragraph (iii), that had
been made in such redesignated Subsidiary and were outstanding at the time of
its designation as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; plus


 


58

















 


(D) 100%
of any cash dividends received by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary after
the Mandatory Redemption Date from an Unrestricted Subsidiary, to the extent
such dividends were not otherwise included in the Consolidated Net Income of
the Company for such period.


 


So long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would be caused
thereby, the preceding provisions shall not prohibit (i) the making of any
Restricted Payment in exchange for the issuance of, or out of the net cash proceeds
of the substantially concurrent sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the
Company) of, Equity Interests of the 
Company (other than Disqualified Stock) or from the substantially
concurrent contribution (other than by a Subsidiary of the Company) of common
equity capital to the Company; (ii) the repurchase, redemption, defeasance
or other acquisition or retirement for value of Indebtedness of the Company
that is contractually subordinated to the Notes with the net cash proceeds from
a substantially concurrent incurrence of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
(for purposes of clarity, the Existing Notes will not be deemed to be
contractually subordinated to the Notes); (iii) the repurchase of Equity
Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options to the extent such
Equity Interests represent a portion of the exercise price of those stock
options; (iv) the payment of any dividend or other payment or distribution
or distribution by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to the holders of its
Equity Interests on a pro rata basis;
(v) the defeasance, repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or
retirement for value of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary held by any of the Company’s (or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’)
current or former directors or employees in connection with the exercise or
vesting of any equity compensation (including, without limitation, stock
options, restricted stock and phantom stock) in order to satisfy the Company’s
or such Restricted Subsidiary’s tax withholding obligation with respect to such
exercise or vesting; (vi) payments to fund the purchase, redemption or
other acquisition for value by the Company of fractional Equity Interests
arising out of stock dividends, splits or combinations, business combinations
or other transactions permitted by this Indenture; (vii) the defeasance,
repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any
Equity Interests of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary held by any of the
Company’s or any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries’ current or former
directors or employees; provided that the aggregate price paid for all such
repurchased, redeemed, acquired or retired Equity Interests may not exceed the
sum of (A) $1.0 million, plus (B) the aggregate amount of cash
proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Company’s Equity
Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to any such directors or employees
that occurs after the Mandatory Redemption Date; plus (C) the cash proceeds
of key man life insurance policies received by the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries after the Mandatory Redemption Date; and (viii) other
Restricted Investments in an aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to
exceed $5.0 million.


 


Notwithstanding anything
else in this Section 5.07, (i) no Restricted Investment may be made
in a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary, and (ii) no
Investment in an Unrestricted Subsidiary, or in any Restricted Subsidiary that
is not a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company, may include any FCC License.


 


The amount of all Restricted
Payments (other than cash and Cash Equivalents) 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 Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment.  The Fair Market Value of any Restricted
Payment not in


 


59

















 


cash
or Cash Equivalents shall be determined by the Board of Directors of the
Company whose Board Resolution with respect thereto shall be delivered to the
Trustee, such determination to be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by
an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing if
such Fair Market Value exceeds $10.0 million. 
Not later than the date of making any Restricted Payment, the Company
shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that such
Restricted Payment is permitted and setting forth the basis upon which the
calculations required by this Section 5.07 were computed, together with a
copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by this Indenture.


 


Section 5.08.                         Limitation on
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or
restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to (i) pay
dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company
or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or
participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (ii) make loans or
advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or (iii) sell,
lease or transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


The preceding restrictions
will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:


 


(1)                                  any encumbrance
or restriction pursuant to an agreement in effect on the date of the issuance
of the Notes;


 


(2)                                  Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the encumbrances and restrictions
contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness
are no more restrictive than those contained in the agreements governing the
Indebtedness being refinanced;


 


(3)                                  this Indenture,
the Collateral Agreements, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

non-assignment provisions in contracts and licenses entered into in the
ordinary course of business;


 


(6)                                  any agreement
for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending the sale or
other disposition;


 


(7)                                  Liens permitted
to be incurred under Section 5.12 hereof that limit the right of the
debtor to dispose of the assets subject to such Liens;


 


(8)                                  provisions
limiting the disposition or distribution of assets or property in joint venture
agreements, asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale
agreements and other similar agreements entered into with the approval of the


 


60

















 


Company’s Board of Directors, which
limitation is applicable only to the assets that are the subject of such
agreements; and


 


(9)                                  restrictions on
cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts
entered into in the ordinary course of business.


 


Section 5.09.                         Limitation on
Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.


 


The Company 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 Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness),
and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any shares of preferred stock, except
as expressly provided for below.


 


The provisions of the first
paragraph of this Section 5.09 will not prohibit the incurrence of any of
the following items of Indebtedness:


 


(1)                                  the incurrence
by the Company and the Guarantors of additional Indebtedness and letters of
credit under the Working Capital Facility in an aggregate principal amount at
any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit
being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential
liability of the Company thereunder) not to exceed $20.0 million, less the
aggregate amount of all Net Proceeds of Asset Sales applied by the Company to
repay any Indebtedness under the Working Capital Facility and effect a
corresponding permanent commitment reduction thereunder pursuant to Section 5.10
hereof;


 


(2)                                  so long as (A) no
Default has occurred and is continuing and (B) on the date of such
incurrence, and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis
(including pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), the
Consolidated Coverage Ratio exceeds 2.0 to 1.0, in each case, the incurrence by
the Company of (X) additional unsecured Indebtedness, provided
that such Indebtedness (i) is expressly subordinated, on terms no less
favorable to the Holders as those set forth in Exhibit G hereto, to the
prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, and
(ii) does not mature and is not mandatorily redeemable, pursuant to a
sinking fund obligation or otherwise, or redeemable at the option of the holder
of the Indebtedness, in whole or in part, on or prior to the date that is 91
days after the date on which the Notes mature, and (Y) additional
unsecured senior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed (i) $250.0 million less (ii) the
aggregate at such time of the principal amount of Indebtedness outstanding
under the Notes and the Working Capital Facility (and of any Permitted
Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof) and of any unused commitments
available under the Working Capital Facility (or such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness,
as applicable) (regardless of whether the Company at such time meets all
applicable conditions to use such commitments); and  provided
further, that prior to the incurrence of


 


61

















 


any such Indebtedness, the Company delivers
an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee certifying that the Company has
complied with this clause (2);


 


(3)                                  (i) the
incurrence by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the
Notes to be issued as part of the redemption price in the Mandatory Redemption
of the Interim Notes, and any Additional Notes issued as interest on the Notes,
and the Guarantees with respect thereto, (ii) the incurrence by the
Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by the Notes issued
after the Mandatory Redemption Date in exchange for Existing Notes on terms no
less favorable to the Company and the Guarantors than the Exchange Offer and
the Mandatory Redemption, and any Additional Notes issued as interest on the
Notes, and the Guarantees with respect thereto, and (iii) the incurrence
by the Company and the Guarantors of Indebtedness represented by any additional
Existing Notes issued as interest on the Existing Notes in accordance with the
terms of the Existing Notes Indenture, and the guarantees of the Guarantors
with respect thereto;


 


(4)                                  the incurrence
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing
Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to renew,
refund, refinance, replace, defease or discharge any Indebtedness (other than
intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by this Indenture to be incurred
pursuant to this clause (4) and clauses (3) and (11) of this
paragraph;


 


(5)                                  the incurrence
of intercompany Indebtedness between or among the Company and any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:


 


(A)                              if the Company
or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be
expressly subordinated (with such subordination provided for in a promissory
note evidencing such Indebtedness), to the prior payment in full in cash of all
Obligations with respect to the Notes and the Note Guarantees; and


 


(B)                                any (1) subsequent
issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness
being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, or (2) sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a
Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company, will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such
Indebtedness that was not permitted by this clause (5);


 


(6)                                  the issuance by
any of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries to the Company or to any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries of shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that
any (a) subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results
in any such preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, or (b) sale or other transfer of any
such preferred stock to a Person that is not either the Company or a Restricted


 


62

















 


Subsidiary of the Company, will be deemed, in
each case, to constitute an issuance of such preferred stock that was not
permitted by this clause (6);


 


(7)                                  the incurrence
by the Company of Hedging Obligations in the ordinary course of business;


 


(8)                                  the incurrence
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness in respect
of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’
acceptances, performance and surety bonds in the ordinary course of business;

represented by Capital Lease Obligations, mortgage financings or purchase money
obligations, in each case, incurred for the purpose of financing all or any
part of the purchase price or cost of design, construction, installation or
improvement of property, plant or equipment used in the business of the Company
or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, in an aggregate amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million, provided that the aggregate amount of
Indebtedness outstanding under this clause (9) and clause (13) will not
together exceed $10.0 million at any time;


 


(10)                            the incurrence
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness arising
from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or
similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as
such Indebtedness is covered within five (5) Business Days;


 


(11)                            the incurrence
by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness;


 


(12)                            the incurrence
by the Company of Indebtedness to the extent that the net proceeds thereof are
promptly deposited to defease or satisfy and discharge the Notes in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture; and


 


(13)                            the incurrence
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of any other Indebtedness
not otherwise permitted to be incurred under the terms of this Indenture in an
aggregate amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $5.0 million, provided
that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness outstanding under this clause (13)
and clause (9) will not together exceed $10.0 million at any time.


 


The amount of any
Indebtedness outstanding as of any date will be:


 


(1)                                  the accreted
value of the Indebtedness, in the case of any Indebtedness issued with original
issue discount; and


 


(2)                                  the principal
amount of the Indebtedness, in the case of any other Indebtedness.


 


63

















 


Section 5.10.                         Limitation on
Asset Sales.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale
unless:


 


(1)                                  the Company or
the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the
time of the Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the assets or
Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and


 


(2)                                  at least 85% of
the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary is in the form of cash.


 


For purposes of this Section 5.10,
each of the following will be deemed to be cash:


 


(1)                                  any
liabilities, as shown on the Company’s most recent consolidated balance sheet,
of the Company or any Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and
Indebtedness that are (x) by their terms subordinated to the Notes or any
Note Guarantee, (y) unsecured, or (z) secured by a Lien on the assets
or rights that are the subject of the Asset Sale, which Lien is junior in
priority to the Liens securing the Notes or any Note Guarantee) that are
assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation
agreement that releases the Company or such Subsidiary from further liability;


 


(2)                                  any securities,
notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary from such transferee that are contemporaneously, subject to ordinary
settlement periods, converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into
cash, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and


 


(3)                                  any stock or
assets of the kind referred to in clauses (2) or (4) of the next
paragraph of this covenant.


 


Within 365 days after the
receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company (or the applicable
Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) may apply such Net Proceeds:


 


(1)                                  to repay
Indebtedness and other Obligations under the Working Capital Facility and to
correspondingly permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto;


 


(2)                                  to acquire all
or substantially all of the assets of, or any Capital Stock of, another
Permitted Business, if, after giving effect to any such acquisition of Capital
Stock, the Permitted Business is or becomes (x) a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company and (y) a Guarantor;


 


(3)                                  to make capital
expenditures in a Permitted Business (other than Equity Interests, Indebtedness
or current assets); or


 


(4)                                  to acquire
other assets (other than Equity Interests or Indebtedness) that are not
classified as current assets under GAAP and that are used or useful in a
Permitted Business.


 


64

















 


Pending the final
application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce borrowings
under the Working Capital Facility or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any
manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture.


 


Any Net Proceeds from Asset
Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the second paragraph of
this covenant will constitute “Excess Proceeds.”  When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds
exceeds $5.0 million, the Company will, within five (5) days thereof, make
an Asset Sale Offer to all Holders and all holders of other senior secured
Indebtedness that is pari passu in
right of payment and as to security interests with the Notes with respect to
the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale containing provisions
similar to those set forth in this Indenture with respect to offers to purchase
or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum amount
of Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds in accordance
with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09 hereof.  The offer price for the Notes in any Asset
Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of purchase, and will be
payable in cash.  If any Excess Proceeds
remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those
Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this
Indenture.  If the aggregate principal
amount of Notes and the amount of other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.  Upon
completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be
reset at zero.


 


Section 5.11.                         Limitation on Transactions
with Affiliates.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
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 of the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:


 


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


 


(2)                                  the Company
delivers to the Trustee:


 


(A)                              with respect to
any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $2.5 million (other than an Ordinary Course
Affiliate Transaction), a Board Resolution set forth in an Officer’s
Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this
covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of
the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company;


 


65

















 


(B)                                with respect to
any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving
aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million (other than an Ordinary
Course Affiliate Transaction), an opinion as to the fairness to the Company or
such Restricted Subsidiary of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point
of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of
national standing; and


 


(C)                                with respect to
any Ordinary Course Affiliate Transaction or series of related Ordinary Course
Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0
million, a Board Resolution set forth in an Officer’s Certificate certifying
that such Ordinary Course Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and
that such Ordinary Course Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority
of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company.


 


The following items will not
be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to
the provisions of the prior paragraph:


 


(1)                                  any employment
agreement, employee benefit plan, officer or director indemnification agreement
or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business and payments pursuant thereto;


 


(2)                                  transactions
exclusively between or among the Company and/or the Guarantors;


 


(3)                                  [reserved];


 


(4)                                  payment of
reasonable directors’ fees to Persons who are not otherwise Affiliates of the
Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries;


 


(5)                                  Restricted
Payments that do not violate the provisions of this Indenture described under Section 5.07
hereof;


 


(6)                                  loans or
advances to employees in the ordinary course of business, and in compliance
with applicable law, not to exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one
time outstanding; and


 


(7)                                  any agreement
as in effect on the Original Issue Date or any amendments, renewals or extensions
of any such agreement (so long as such amendments, renewals or extensions are
not less favorable to the Holders).


 


Section 5.12.                         Limitation on
Liens.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any Lien of any
kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.


 


66

















 


Section 5.13.                         Conduct of
Business.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business
other than a Permitted Business.


 


Section 5.14.                         Designation of
Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.


 


The Board of Directors of
the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to be an
Unrestricted Subsidiary if (i) that designation would not cause a Default,
(ii) such designation is for a valid business purpose of the Company as
determined by the Board of Directors (such as in connection with the obtaining
of non-recourse financing for implementation of government contracts, or the
leasing of spectrum licenses from the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries
in joint ventures in particular markets) and (iii) such designated
Subsidiary does not own any FCC License. 
If a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company is designated as an
Unrestricted  Subsidiary, the aggregate
Fair Market Value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its
Restricted Subsidiaries in the Restricted Subsidiary so designated as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time
of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments
under Section 5.07 hereof or under one or more applicable clauses of the
definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company.  That designation will only be permitted if
the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary
of the Company otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.  The Board of Directors of the Company may
redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if that
redesignation would not cause a Default. 
The determination of Fair Market Value for the foregoing purposes will
be made by the Board of Directors of the Company, such determination to be
based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or
investment banking firm of national standing if such Fair Market Value exceeds
$5.0 million.


 


Any designation of a
Subsidiary of the Company as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be evidenced to
the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a certified copy of a Board Resolution
giving effect to such designation and making the applicable determination of
Fair Market Value, and an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such
designation complies with the preceding conditions and was permitted by Section 5.07
hereof, together with a copy of any fairness opinion or appraisal required by
this Indenture.  If, at any time, any
Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the preceding requirements as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary, it will thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted
Subsidiary for purposes of this Indenture and any Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary will be deemed to be incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary of the
Company as of such date and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be
incurred as of such date under Section 5.09 hereof, the Company will be in
default of Section 5.09 hereof.  The
Board of Directors of the Company may at any time designate any Unrestricted
Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company under this Indenture; provided that such designation will be deemed to be an
incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of any
outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary, and such designation
will only be permitted if (1) such Indebtedness is permitted under Section 5.09
hereof, calculated on a pro forma basis
as if such designation had occurred at the beginning of the four-quarter reference
period, and (2) no Default or Event of Default under this Indenture would
be in existence following such designation.

Section 5.15.                         Issuance and
Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


The Company will not sell,
and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, directly or indirectly,
to issue or sell any Equity Interests of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
except:


 


(1)                                  to the Company
or a Guarantor;


 


(2)                                  issuances of
director’s qualifying shares, or sales to foreign nationals of Equity Interests
of Restricted Subsidiaries of the Company (other than Domestic Restricted
Subsidiaries), to the extent required by applicable law;


 


(3)                                  if immediately
after giving effect to such issuance or sale, such Restricted Subsidiary would
no longer constitute a Restricted Subsidiary and any Investment in such Person
remaining after giving effect to such issuance or sale would have been
permitted to be made in accordance with Section 5.07 hereof if made on the
date of such issuance or sale (and any such Investment will be deemed to be an
Investment made on the date of such issuance or sale and will reduce the amount
available for Restricted Payments under Section 5.07 hereof or under one
or more clauses of the definition of Permitted Investments, as determined by
the Company); or


 


(4)                                  issuances or
sales of common stock of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, provided that
the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary applies the Net Proceeds, if any, of
any such issuance or sale in accordance with Section 5.10 hereof.


 


Section 5.16.                         Maintenance of
Insurance.


 


The Company will, and will
cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound
and reputable insurance companies, insurance in such amounts and against such
risks as are customarily maintained by companies engaged in the same or similar
businesses.


 


The Company and the
Guarantors will maintain adequate insurance policies and will upon written
request provide the Collateral Agent with evidence of such insurance coverage
for public liability, property damage, product liability and business
interruption with respect to their businesses and properties against loss or
damage (1) of the kinds customarily carried or maintained by corporations
of established reputation engaged in similar businesses and (2) as may be
required by the Collateral Agreements. 
Upon the request of the Collateral Agent, the Company and the Guarantors
shall furnish to the Collateral Agent full information as to their property and
liability insurance carriers.  The
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, as a class, will be named as
an additional insured, with a waiver of subrogation, on all insurance policies
of the Company and the Guarantors, and the Collateral Agent will be named as
loss payee, with thirty (30) days’ notice of cancellation or material change,
on all property and casualty insurance policies of the Company and the
Guarantors.


 


68

















 


Section 5.17.                         Payments for
Consent.


 


The Company will not, and
will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or
cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or
otherwise, to or for the benefit of any Holder for or as an inducement to any
consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the Note
Documents, unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all
Holders that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in
the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.


 


Section 5.18.                         Additional
Guarantees.


 


If the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries organize, acquire or otherwise create or invest in
another Person that is or becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary that is not
a Guarantor, then the Company shall cause such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary
that is not a Guarantor to:


 


(1)                                  execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee pursuant to which such Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee on a senior secured basis
all of the Company’s obligations under the Notes and this Indenture on the
terms set forth in this Indenture;


 


(2)                                  execute and
deliver to the Collateral Agent, amendments to the Collateral Agreements and
take such other actions as the Collateral Agent deems reasonably necessary in
order to grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Holders, a
perfected Lien in the assets, including the filing of UCC financing statements
in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Collateral Agreements, by law
or as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent;


 


(3)                                  take such
further action and execute and deliver such other documents specified in this
Indenture or otherwise reasonably requested by the Trustee to effectuate the
foregoing; and


 


(4)                                  deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture and Note
Guarantee, and amendments to the Collateral Agreements and any other documents
required to be delivered have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by
such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and constitute legal, valid, binding and
enforceable obligations of such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary and such other
opinions regarding the perfection of such Liens in the assets of such Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary.


 


Thereafter,
such Domestic Restricted Subsidiary shall be a Guarantor for all purposes of
this Indenture.


 


Section 5.19.                         Anti-Layering.


 


The Company will not incur,
and will not permit any Guarantor to incur, any Indebtedness that is
contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of 


 


69

















 


the
Company or such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness is also contractually
subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and the applicable Note Guarantee
on substantially identical terms.


 


Section 5.20.                         Further
Assurances Relating to Collateral.


 


The Company shall, and shall
cause each Guarantor to, at their sole cost and expense, execute and deliver
all such agreements and instruments, in each case reasonably satisfactory in form
and substance to the Trustee, as the Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall
reasonably request to more fully or accurately describe the property included
as Collateral or the obligations intended to be secured by the Collateral
Agreements.  The Company shall, and shall
cause each of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, at their sole cost and expense,
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such security documents, certificates,
notices and other documents, in each case reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to the Trustee, and (subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor
Agreement) take such other actions as shall be reasonably required, or as the
Collateral Agent or the Trustee shall reasonably request to create, perfect,
protect, continue the perfection of, assure or enforce the Note Liens and
benefits intended to be conferred, in each case as contemplated by the Note
Documents for the benefit of the Holders.


 


Section 5.21.                         Real Estate
Mortgages and Filings.


 


With respect to any fee
interest in any land and the related improvements (including fixtures) thereon
(individually and collectively, the “Premises”) (i) owned
by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on the Exchange Offer
Completion Date and that has a Fair Market Value on such date of greater than
$1.0 million or (ii) acquired by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of
the Company after the Exchange Offer Completion Date for a purchase price of
greater than $1.0 million, within ninety (90) days of the Exchange Offer
Completion Date in the case of clause (i) above and within ninety (90)
days of the acquisition thereof in the case of clause (ii) above:


 


(1)                                  the Company
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee, fully-executed
counterparts of mortgages, each dated as of the Original Issue Date or the date
of acquisition of such property, as the case may be, duly executed by the
Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, together with evidence of the
completion (or satisfactory arrangements for the completion), of all recordings
and filings of such mortgage as may be necessary to create a valid, perfected
Lien, subject to Permitted Liens, against the properties purported to be
covered thereby;


 


(2)                                  the Company
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, mortgagee’s title insurance policies in
favor of the Collateral Agent, as mortgagee for the ratable benefit of the
Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders in an amount equal to 100% of the
Fair Market Value of the Premises purported to be covered by the related
mortgage, insuring that title to such property is marketable and that the
interests created by the mortgage constitute valid Liens thereon free and clear
of all Liens, defects and encumbrances other than Permitted Liens;


 


(3)                                  the Company
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent, with respect to each of the covered
Premises, the most recent survey of such Premises, together with either 


 


70

















 


(i) an updated survey certification in
favor of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent from the applicable surveyor
stating that, based on a visual inspection of the property and the knowledge of
the surveyor, there has been no change in the facts depicted in the survey or (ii) an
affidavit and/or indemnity from the Company or the applicable Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, stating that to its knowledge there has been no
change in the facts depicted in the survey, other than, in each case, changes
that do not materially adversely affect the use by the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, of such Premises for the Company or such
Restricted Subsidiary’s business as so conducted, or intended to be conducted,
at such Premises at the time of delivery thereof and in each case, in form
sufficient for the title insurer issuing the title policy to remove the
standard survey exception from such policy and issue a survey endorsement to
such policy; and


 


(4)                                  the Company
shall cause to be delivered to the Collateral Agent, an Opinion of Counsel that
such mortgage and any other documents required to be delivered have been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as applicable, and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable
obligations of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as applicable, and
such other opinions regarding the perfection of such Liens created by such
mortgage in such Premises as the Collateral Agent shall reasonably request.


 


Section 5.22.                         Corporate
Existence.


 


Subject to Article 6
hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect (1) its corporate existence,
and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Subsidiaries,
in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same may be
amended from time to time) of the Company or any such Subsidiary and (2) the
rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or
franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its
Subsidiaries, if the Company’s Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof
is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders.


 


Section 5.23.                         New License
Subsidiary.


 


The Company shall not
designate the New License Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary under this
Indenture from and after the Issue Date. 
As of the date hereof, all FCC Licenses held by the Company or a
Subsidiary immediately prior to the formation of the New License Subsidiary
have been transferred to the New License Subsidiary, and neither the Company
nor any Subsidiary has acquired any additional FCC Licenses since such
transfer, through and including the date hereof.  Promptly after the acquisition of any
additional FCC Licenses, the Company shall make application to the FCC for any
required regulatory or other approvals to permit the Company and any applicable
Subsidiary to transfer to the New License Subsidiary all of such additional FCC
Licenses, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts 


 


71

















 


to
obtain any such required approvals as soon as practicable.  The Company shall cause all of such
additional FCC Licenses to be transferred to the New License Subsidiary
promptly upon obtaining any such required approvals.  The Company and the Guarantors shall not
permit any Existing Note Obligations to be secured, directly or indirectly, by
a Lien on any assets or rights of, or any Equity Interests in, the New License
Subsidiary. The Company and the Guarantors shall not permit the New License
Subsidiary to incur, maintain or in any way be obligated for any Existing Note
Obligations except such Existing Note Obligations as are subordinated to the
Note Obligations as set forth in the Existing Notes Indenture as modified and
amended in the Exchange Offer.

Guarantee of any Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared
to be null and void and unenforceable or is found to be invalid or any
Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason
of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Indenture).


 


Section 7.02.                         Acceleration.


 


In the case of an Event of
Default specified in clause (8) or (9) of Section 7.01 hereof,
with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, all
outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further
action or notice.  If any other Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may declare all the
Notes to be due and payable immediately. 
If the Notes become due and payable at any time prior to maturity, the
amount that shall become due and payable shall be the aggregate principal
amount of such Notes then outstanding.


 


Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to
the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an
acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under this Indenture if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of
principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of
the acceleration) have been cured or waived. 
The Trustee may withhold from the Holders of the Notes then outstanding
notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default under this Indenture if it
determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or
Event of Default under this Indenture relating to the payment of principal,
interest or premium, if any.  Subject to
the provisions of this Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee,
including, without limitation, Section 8.01 hereof, in case an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or
direction of any Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or expense.


 


If an Event of Default
occurs by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or
on behalf of the Company or the Guarantors with the intention of avoiding any
prohibition on redemption, or any premium payable upon redemption of the Notes
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.07, or the requirement to pay 101% of
the principal amount of the Notes upon a Fundamental Change pursuant to the
terms of Section 3.08, then, upon acceleration of the Notes, any excess of
the applicable redemption or repurchase price above the stated principal amount
shall also become due and immediately payable, to the extent permitted by law.


 


76

















 


Section 7.03.                         Other Remedies.


 


If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect
the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes, the Note Guarantees or
this Indenture.


 


The Trustee may maintain a
proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any
of them in the proceeding.  A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy
or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default.  All remedies are cumulative to the extent
permitted by law.


 


Section 7.04.                         Waiver of Past
Defaults.


 


Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice
to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive an
existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a
continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes (including in connection with an
offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and
its consequences, including any related Payment Default that resulted from such
acceleration.  Upon any such waiver, such
Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.


 


Section 7.05.                         Control by
Majority.


 


Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and
place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on it. 
However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts
with law or this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements that the Trustee
determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may
involve the Trustee in personal liability or expense.


 


Section 7.06.                         Limitation on
Suits.


 


Except to enforce the right
to receive payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on the Notes, a
Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes only if:


 


(1)                                  such Holder has
previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is
continuing;


 


(2)                                  Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) have requested in writing that the Trustee
pursue the remedy;


 


77
















 


(3)                                  such Holder or
Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;


 


(4)                                  the Trustee
does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt of the
request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of  indemnity; and


 


(5)                                  during such
sixty (60)-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the
request.


 


A Holder of a Note may not
use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of a Note or to
obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of a Note.


 


Section 7.07.                         Rights of
Holders of Notes to Receive Payment.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to receive
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Note, on or after
the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection with an
offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on
or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the
consent of such Holder; provided that a
Holder shall not have the right to institute any such suit for the enforcement
of payment if and to the extent that the institution or prosecution thereof or
the entry of judgment therein would, under applicable law, result in the
surrender, impairment, waiver or loss of the Lien of this Indenture upon any
property subject to such Lien.


 


Section 7.08.                         Collection Suit
by Trustee.


 


If an Event of Default
specified in Section 7.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of
an express trust against the Company and the Guarantors for the whole amount of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.


 


Section 7.09.                         Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim.


 


The Trustee is authorized to
file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the Holders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes and
the Note Guarantees, including the Guarantors), their creditors or their
property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute
any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any
custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other 


 


78

















 


amounts
due the Trustee under Section 8.07 hereof. 
To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 8.07 hereof out of the estate
in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same
shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or
under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.  Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to
authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf
of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.


 


Section 7.10.                         Priorities.


 


If the Trustee collects any
money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out the money in the following
order:


 


First:  to the
Trustee (including any predecessor Trustee), the Collateral Agent, the Paying
Agent and the Registrar, their respective agents and attorneys for amounts due
under Section 8.07 hereof, including payment of all compensation, expense
and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee (including any
predecessor Trustee) or the Collateral Agent, the Paying Agent or the
Registrar, as the case may be, and the costs and expenses of collection;


 


Second:  to Holders
for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if any, and
interest, respectively; and


 


Third:  to the
Company or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct.


 


The Trustee may fix a record
date and payment date for any payment to Holders pursuant to this Section 7.10.


 


Section 7.11.                         Undertaking for
Costs.


 


In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a court in its
discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any
party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by the party litigant.  This Section 7.11 does not apply to a
suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section 7.07

Trustee.


 


(a)                                  If an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements
and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent Person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s
own affairs.


 


(b)                                 Except during
the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(i)                                     the duties of the Trustee
shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the
Collateral Agreements, and the Trustee need perform only those duties that are
specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements, and no
others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture and the Collateral Agreements against the Trustee; and


 


(ii)                                  in the absence of bad faith
on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.  However, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.


 


(c)                                  The Trustee may
not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)                                     this paragraph does not
limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 8.01;


 


(ii)                                  the Trustee shall not be
liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer,
unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts; and


 


(iii)                               the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 7.05
hereof.


 


(d)                                 Whether or not

way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of
this Section 8.01.


 


(e)                                  No provision of
this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
incur any liability.  The Trustee shall
be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this
Indenture or the Collateral Agreements at the request of any Holder, unless
such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity
satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.


 


80

The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the
document.


 


(b)                                 Before the
Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel or both.  The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on such Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.  The Trustee may consult with counsel of its
selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.


 


(c)                                  The Trustee may
act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.


 


(d)                                 The Trustee

by this Indenture.

against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction.


 


(g)                                 The Trustee
shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any event which is in fact such a Default or Event of Default
is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.


 


(h)                                 The rights,
privileges, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without
limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each

names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take
specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officer’s Certificate may

previously delivered and not suspended.


 


Section 8.03.                         Individual
Rights of Trustee.


 


The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and
may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.  However, in the event that the Trustee
acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within ninety
(90) days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or
resign.  Any Agent may do the same with
like rights and duties.  The Trustee is
also subject to Sections 8.10 and 8.11 hereof.


 


Section 8.04.                         Trustee’s
Disclaimer.

Indenture, it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money
received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be
responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes,
the Collateral Agreements or any other document in connection with the sale of
the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of
authentication.

Defaults.


 


If a Default or Event of
Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within ninety
(90) days after it occurs.  Except in the
case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long
as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Trustee to Holders of the Notes.


 


Within sixty (60) days after
each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this
Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail
to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies
with TIA § 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA § 313(a) has occurred
within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be
transmitted).  The Trustee also shall
comply with TIA § 313(b)(2).  The Trustee
shall also transmit by mail all reports as required by TIA § 313(c).


 


A copy of each report at the
time of its mailing to the Holders shall be mailed to the Company and filed
with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes are listed in
accordance with TIA § 313(d).  The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any
stock exchange.

Section 8.07.                         Compensation
and Indemnity.


 


The Company shall pay to the
Trustee from time to time compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and
services hereunder as shall be agreed in writing by the Company and the
Trustee, including for any Agent capacity in which it acts.  The Trustee’s compensation shall not be
limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.  The Company shall reimburse the Trustee
promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses
incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the reasonable
compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.


 


The Company shall indemnify
the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or
expenses incurred by it, including in any Agent capacity in which it acts,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its
duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this
Indenture against the Company (including this Section 8.07) and defending
itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any
other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss,
liability or expense may be attributable to its gross negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith.  The Trustee
shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
indemnity.  Failure by the Trustee to so
notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations
hereunder.  The Company shall defend the
claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.  The Trustee may have separate counsel and the
Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel.  The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.


 


To secure the Company’s
payment obligations in this Section 8.07, the Trustee shall have a Lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,
except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular
Notes.  Such Lien shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 


When the Trustee incurs expenses
or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(9) or
(10) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Code.


 


The Trustee shall comply
with the provisions of TIA § 313(b)(2) to the extent applicable.

provided in this Section 8.08.


 


83

















 


The Trustee may resign in
writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so
notifying the Company.  The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the
Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:


 


(1)                                  the Trustee
fails to comply with Section 8.10 hereof;


 


(2)                                  the Trustee is

(3)                                  a custodian,
receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under any

or


 


(4)                                  the Trustee
becomes incapable of acting.

removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, the
Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.


 


If a successor Trustee is
appointed and does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring
Trustee resigns, the retiring Trustee may appoint a successor Trustee at any
time prior to the date on which a successor Trustee takes office.  If a successor Trustee does not take office
within sixty (60) days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the
retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee.  
Within one year after the successor Trustee appointed by the Company or
a court pursuant to this Section 8.08 takes office, the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace such successor Trustee.


 


A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company.  Thereupon, the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture.  The successor Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to Holders. 
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, provided all
sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien
provided for in Section 8.07 hereof. 
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 8.08,
the Company’s obligations under Section 8.07 hereof shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Trustee.

trust business to, another corporation, the successor corporation without any
further

resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein.

LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE


 


Section 9.01.                         Option to
Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The Company may at any time,
at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a Board Resolution, elect
to have either Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding
Notes and the Note Guarantees upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article 9.


 


Section 9.02.                         Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.


 


Upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.02,
the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, be deemed to have been
discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes
(including the Note Guarantees) on the date the conditions set 


 


85

















 


forth
below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes and the Note
Guarantees, which Notes and Note Guarantees shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding”
only for the purposes of Section 9.05 hereof and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes, the Note Guarantees, the
Collateral Agreements and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at
the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder:  (a) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on, such Notes when such
payments are due from the trust described under Section 9.04(1) hereof;
(b) the Company’s and Guarantors’ obligations with respect to such Notes
and Note Guarantees under Article 2 and Section 5.02 hereof; (c) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations in connection therewith; and (d) this
Article 9.  Subject to compliance
with this Article 9, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 9.02
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 9.03
hereof.


 


Section 9.03.                         Covenant
Defeasance.


 


Upon the Company’s exercise
under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable to this Section 9.03,
the Company and the Guarantors shall, subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, be released from their
respective obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 5.07 through
5.19 hereof with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 9.04 hereof are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Notes 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 covenants, but shall continue to be deemed “outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not
be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). 
For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes and Note Guarantees, the Company and the Guarantors may omit
to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of
any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any
other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an
Event of Default under Section 7.01 hereof, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes and Note Guarantees shall
be unaffected thereby.  In addition, upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 9.01 hereof of the option applicable
to this Section 9.03 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in Section 9.04 hereof, Sections 7.01(4) through 7.01(6) hereof
shall not constitute Events of Default.


 


Section 9.04.                         Conditions to
Legal or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The following shall be
conditions to the application of either Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof to the
outstanding Notes.


 


In order to exercise either
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:


 


86

















 


(1)                                  the Company
must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a
combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm or firm of independent
public accountants, to pay the principal of, and interest and premium, if any,
on, the outstanding Notes on the stated date for payment thereof;


 


(2)                                  in the case of
an election under Section 9.02 hereof, the Company will have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there
has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since
the date of this Indenture, 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 will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes 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;


 


(3)                                  in the case of
an election under Section 9.03 hereof, the Company will have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel in the United States reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes 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;


 


(4)                                  no Default or
Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing
of funds to be applied to such deposit) or, insofar as Section 7.01(9) or
7.01(10) hereof is concerned, at any time in the period ending on the
ninety-first (91st) day after the date of deposit and the deposit will not
result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other
instrument to which the Company or a Guarantor is a party or by which the
Company or a Guarantor is bound;


 


(5)                                  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 Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or
by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;


 


(6)                                  the Company
will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders
over the other creditors of the Company and its Subsidiaries or with the intent
of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company
and its Subsidiaries or others; and


 


87
















 


(7)                                  the Company
will have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.


 


Section 9.05.                         Deposited Money
and Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.


 


Subject to Section 9.06
hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee,
collectively for purposes of this Section 9.05, the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall
be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through
any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.


 


The Company and Guarantors
shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 9.04 hereof or the principal and interest
received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which
by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.


 


Anything in this Article 9
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or
non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 9.04
hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 9.04(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.


 


The Collateral will be
released from the Lien securing the Notes, as provided under Section 11.04
hereof, upon a Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance in accordance with the
provisions described in this Article 9.


 


Section 9.06.                         Repayment to
Company.


 


Any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on, any Note and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and interest or
premium, if any, has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its
request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust;
and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such 


 


88

















 


money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notification or publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.


 


Section 9.07.                         Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any U.S. dollars or non-callable Government Securities
in accordance with Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof, as the case may be, by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s and the Guarantors’ obligations under this Indenture and the Notes
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 9.02
or 9.03 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to
apply all such money in accordance with Section 9.02 or 9.03 hereof, as
the case may be; provided, however,
that, if the Company or any Guarantor makes any payment of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.


 


ARTICLE 10.

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER


 


Section 10.01.                  Without Consent of Holders
of Notes.

of this Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture, any Collateral Agreement, the Notes and the Note
Guarantees without the consent of any Holder:


 


(1)                                  to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;


 


(2)                                  to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;


 


(3)                                  to provide for
the assumption of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor to Holders in
the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of
the Company’s or any Guarantor’s assets in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture;


 


(4)                                  to effect the
release of a Guarantor from its Note Guarantee and the termination of such Note
Guarantee, all in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture governing
such release and termination;


 


(5)                                  to add any Note
Guarantee or to secure the Notes or any Note Guarantee;


 


(6)                                  to make any
change that would provide additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that
does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder or under the Notes, the
Note Guarantees or any Collateral Agreement of any Holder;


 


(7)                                  to comply with
requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of
this Indenture under the TIA;


 


89

















 


(8)                                  to provide for
the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth
in this Indenture; or


 


(9)                                  to provide for
a successor trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.


 


Upon the request of the
Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such
amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the
documents described in Section 8.02 hereof, the Trustee shall join with
the Company and the Guarantors in the execution of any amended or supplemental
Indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein
contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or
supplemental Indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise.


 


Section 10.02.                  With Consent of Holders of
Notes.


 


Except as provided below in
this Section 10.02, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend
or supplement this Indenture, any Collateral Agreement, the Notes and the Note
Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if
any) voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes and Note
Guarantees), and, subject to Sections 7.04 and 7.07 hereof, any existing
Default or Event or Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes, except
a Payment Default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or
compliance with any provision of this Indenture, any Collateral Agreement or
the Notes and Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes
(including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class (including
consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or
purchase of, the Notes).


 


Upon the request of the
Company accompanied by a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such
amended or supplemental Indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 8.02
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
amended or supplemental Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or any
Collateral Agreement unless such amended or supplemental Indenture directly
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.


 


It shall not be necessary
for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


After an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section becomes effective, the Company
shall mail to the Holders affected thereby a notice briefly describing the
amendment, 


 


90

















 


supplement
or waiver.  Any failure of the Company to
mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental Indenture, Notes,
Note Guarantees or Collateral Agreement or waiver.


 


In determining whether the
Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any
direction, waiver or consent under this Indenture, Notes owned by the Company,
or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as
though not outstanding; provided, however, that no Holder shall be deemed to be directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company solely by reason of ownership of such Notes.  A change in a defined term used in this Section 10.02
shall be deemed to be a change to this Section 10.02.


 


Subject to Sections 7.04 and
7.07 hereof, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) voting as a single class
may waive compliance by the Company, the Guarantors or the Trustee in a
particular instance with any provision of this Indenture, any Collateral
Agreement, the Notes or the Note Guarantees. 
However, without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment,
supplement or waiver under this Section 10.02 may not (with respect to any
Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):


 


(1)                                  reduce the
aggregate principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
supplement or waiver;


 


(2)                                  reduce the
principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of
the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes;


 


(3)                                  reduce the rate
of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest, on
any Note;


 


(4)                                  waive a Default
or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest on, or premium,
if any, on, the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) and a waiver of the
payment default that resulted from such acceleration);


 


(5)                                  make any Note
payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;


 


(6)                                  make any change
in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the
rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or interest on, or
premium, if any, on, the Notes;


 


(7)                                  release any
Collateral from the Liens of the pledge and security agreements, except as
contemplated by the pledge and security agreements;


 


(8)                                  waive a
redemption payment or mandatory redemption with respect to any Notes;


 


91

















 


(9)                                  release any
Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Note Guarantee or this
Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; or


 


(10)                            make any change
in Section 7.04 or 7.07 hereof or in the preceding provisions relating to
amendment, supplement and waiver.


 


Section 10.03.                  Compliance with Trust
Indenture Act.


 


Every amendment or
supplement to this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or the Collateral
Agreements shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that
complies with the TIA as then in effect.


 


Section 10.04.                  Revocation and Effect of
Consents.


 


Until an amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note
is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of
a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting
Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note.  However, any such Holder of a Note or
subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the
Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment,
supplement or waiver becomes effective. 
An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with
its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.


 


Section 10.05.                  Notation on or Exchange of
Notes.

thereafter authenticated.  The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, authenticate new Notes (and accompanying Note Guarantees) that reflect
the amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Failure to make the
appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and
effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.


 


Section 10.06.                  Trustee to Sign Amendments,
etc.


 


The Trustee or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall sign any amendment or supplement to this

Agreement, the Notes or the Note Guarantees is authorized or permitted by this

ARTICLE 11.

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY


 


Section 11.01.                  Collateral Agreements.


 


(a)                                  The due and
punctual payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Notes and the
Note Guarantees when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an
interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest (to the extent
permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and the Note Guarantees and performance
of all other obligations of the Company and the Guarantors to the Holders, the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Notes, the Note
Guarantees and the Collateral Agreements, according to the terms hereunder or
thereunder, shall be secured as provided in the Collateral Agreements.  Each Holder, by its acceptance thereof,
consents and agrees to the terms of the Collateral Agreements and the
Intercreditor Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions
providing for foreclosure and release of the Collateral) as the same may be in
effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their terms and
authorizes and directs each of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as the
case may be, to enter into the Collateral Agreements and to perform its
obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith.  The Company and the Guarantors shall deliver
to the Trustee copies of all documents delivered to the Collateral Agent
pursuant to any Collateral Agreements, and shall do or cause to be done all
such acts and things as may be necessary or proper, or that the Collateral
Agent from time to time may request, or as may be required by the provisions of
any Collateral Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent that the Collateral Agent holds, for the benefit of itself, the Trustee
and the Holders, duly created and perfected Note Liens upon the Collateral
(including any After-Acquired Property), in each case, as contemplated hereby,
by any Collateral Agreements or any part thereof, as from time to time
constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of
this Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees secured hereby, according to
the intent and purposes herein expressed.  The Company shall take, or shall cause its
Subsidiaries to take, upon request of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, any
and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral Agreements to
create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company and the
Guarantors hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien in
and on all the Collateral, in favor of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, as
the case may be, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, the Trustee and the Holders
and other Indebtedness subject to the Collateral Agreements superior to and
prior to the rights of all third Persons (other than holders of Permitted
Senior Liens) and subject to no other Liens other than Permitted Liens.  The Company and the Guarantors hereby agree
that the Collateral Agent shall hold the Collateral in trust for the benefit of
itself, the Trustee and the Holders, in each case pursuant to the terms of the
Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


(b)                                 The Company and
the Guarantors agree to record and file, at its or their own expense, financing
statements (and continuation statements when applicable) with respect to the
Collateral now existing or hereafter created meeting the requirements of
applicable law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are necessary to
perfect, and maintain the perfection of, the Note Liens, and deliver a file
stamped copy of each such financing statement or other evidence of filing to
the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, promptly. 
Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral 


 


93





















 


Agent shall be under any obligation
whatsoever to file such financing or continuation statements or to make any
other filing under the UCC in connection therewith.


 


(c)                                  The Company and
the Guarantors shall pledge as additional Collateral all After-Acquired
Property, subject to Permitted Liens. 
The Company and the Guarantors shall also use all commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that any material contract or agreement relating
to After-Acquired Property will not contain provisions that would impair or
prevent the creation of a security interest therein or result in such contract
or After-Acquired Property being excluded from the Collateral.


 


(d)                                 The Trustee and
each Holder, by accepting the Notes and the Note Guarantees, acknowledges that,
as more fully set forth in the Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor
Agreement, the Collateral as now or hereafter constituted shall be held for the
benefit of all the Holders, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, and that the
Lien of the Collateral Agreements in respect of the Trustee, the Collateral
Agent and the Holders is subject to and qualified and limited in all respects
by the Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement and actions that
may be taken thereunder.


 


Section 11.02.                  Recording and Opinions.


 


(a)                                  At the time of
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish or cause to
be furnished to the Trustee Opinion(s) of Counsel substantially in the
form of the Opinion of Counsel delivered on the Original Issue Date to the
Initial Purchasers of the Notes (or the Trustee shall be permitted to rely on
such Opinion(s) of Counsel).


 


(b)                                 Promptly but in
no event later than thirty (30) days after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee
Opinion(s) of Counsel required by TIA Section 314(b)(1) and
thereafter Opinion(s) of Counsel required by TIA Section 314(b)(2).


 


(c)                                  The Company shall
otherwise comply with the provisions of TIA §314(b).


 


Section 11.03.                  Agreements Requiring
Application of Proceeds of Collateral.


 


Neither the Company nor any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries shall enter into any agreement that requires the
proceeds received from any sale of Collateral to be applied to repay, redeem,
defease or otherwise acquire or retire any debt of any Person, other than as
permitted by this Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Collateral
Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


Section 11.04.                  Release of Collateral.


 


(a)                                  Subject to
subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 11.04,
Collateral shall automatically be released from the Lien and security interest
created by the Collateral Agreements at any time or from time to time in
accordance with the provisions of the Collateral Agreements or as provided
hereby.  In addition, upon the request of
the Company pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
certifying that all conditions precedent hereunder have been met and stating
whether or not such release is in connection with an Asset Sale (at the 


 


94





















 


sole cost and expense of the Company and
without any recourse, representation or warranty), the Trustee or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall release Collateral that is sold,
conveyed or disposed of in compliance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided, that if such sale, conveyance or disposition
constitutes an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply the Net Proceeds in
accordance with Section 5.10 hereof. 
Upon receipt of such Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, the
Collateral Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Company and without
recourse, representation or warranty, execute, deliver or acknowledge any
necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to
evidence the release of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to
this Indenture or the Collateral Agreements.


 


(b)                                 The Note Liens
upon the Collateral will no longer secure the Notes or any other Note
Obligations, and the right of the Holders to the benefits and proceeds of the
Note Liens on the Collateral will terminate and be discharged automatically:


 


(i)                                     upon satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture as set forth under Article 13 hereof;


 


(ii)                                  upon a Legal Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance of the Notes under this Indenture as set forth under Article 9
hereof;


 


(iii)                               upon payment in full and
discharge of all Notes outstanding under this Indenture and all Note
Obligations that are outstanding, due and payable under this Indenture at the
time the Notes are paid in full and discharged;


 


(iv)                              in whole or in part, with
the consent of the Holders in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture
described under Article 10 hereof; or


 


(v)                                 to the extent not otherwise
terminated and discharged, with respect to any asset that is or becomes an
Excluded Asset.


 


(c)                                  No Collateral
shall be released from the Liens and security interest created by the
Collateral Agreements pursuant to the provisions of the Collateral Agreements
unless (i) there shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent the
Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by this Section 11.04
and (ii) the Collateral Agent and the Trustee have received all
documentation, if any, that may be required by the TIA.  In connection with any release of Collateral,
the Collateral Agent will promptly execute any release documentation with respect
thereto reasonably requested by the Company. 
Upon the payment in full of all Note Obligations of the Company under
this Indenture and the Notes, or upon Legal Defeasance, the Trustee shall, at
the request and sole cost and expense of the Company, deliver a certificate to
the Collateral Agent stating that such Note Obligations have been paid in full,
and instruct the Collateral Agent to release the Liens pursuant to this
Indenture and the Collateral Agreements.


 


(d)                                 At any time
when a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
the maturity of the Notes shall have been accelerated (whether by declaration
or otherwise) and the Trustee shall have delivered a notice of acceleration to
the Collateral Agent, no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of
the Collateral Agreements shall be effective as against the Holders.


 


95




















 


(e)                                  The release of
any Collateral from the terms of this Indenture and the Collateral Agreements
shall not be deemed to impair the security under this Indenture in
contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the Collateral is
released pursuant to the terms hereof. 
To the extent applicable, the Company shall cause TIA § 313(b), relating
to reports, and TIA § 314(d), relating to the release of property or securities
from the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Agreements and relating
to the substitution therefor of any property or securities to be subjected to
the Lien and security interest of the Collateral Agreements, to be complied
with.  Any certificate or opinion
required by TIA § 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Company except
in cases where TIA § 314(d) requires that such certificate or opinion be
made by an independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer,
appraiser or other expert selected or approved by the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent in the exercise of reasonable care.


 


Section 11.05.                  Certificates of the Company.


 


The Company shall furnish to
the Trustee and the Collateral Agent, prior to each proposed release of
Collateral pursuant to any Collateral Agreements, (i) all documents
required by TIA §314(d) and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel, which may be
rendered by internal counsel to the Company, to the effect that such
accompanying documents constitute all documents required by TIA §314(d).  The Trustee may, to the extent permitted by
Sections 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, accept as conclusive evidence of compliance with
the foregoing provisions the appropriate statements contained in such documents
and such Opinion of Counsel.


 


Section 11.06.                  Certificates of the Trustee.


 


In the event that the
Company wishes to release Collateral in accordance with the Collateral
Agreements and has delivered the certificates and documents required by the
Collateral Agreements and Sections 11.03 and 11.04 hereof, the Trustee shall
determine whether it has received all documentation required by TIA § 314(d) in
connection with such release and, based on such determination and the Opinion
of Counsel delivered pursuant to Section 11.05 hereof, shall deliver a
certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such determination.


 


Section 11.07.                  Authorization of Actions to
Be Taken by the Trustee Under the Collateral Agreements.


 


Subject to the provisions of
Section 8.01 and 8.02 hereof, and to the Collateral Agreements and the
Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may, in
its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, on behalf of the
Holders, take all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (1) enforce
any of the terms of the Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement
and (2) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the
Collateral in respect of the Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors
hereunder and thereunder.  Subject to the
provisions of the Collateral Agreements and the Intercreditor Agreement, the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall each have power to institute and
maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any
impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation
of the Collateral Agreements, the Intercreditor Agreement or this Indenture,
and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem
expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders
in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or 


 


96

















 


proceedings
to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or other
governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment, rule or
order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to the
interests of the Holders, the Collateral Agent or the Trustee).


 


Section 11.08.                  Authorization of Receipt of
Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Agreements.


 


The Trustee is authorized to
receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the
Collateral Agreements, and to make further distributions of such funds to the
Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.


 


Section 11.09.                  Relative Rights.


 


Nothing in the Note
Documents will:


 


(1)                                  impair, as
between the Company and the Holders, the Company’s obligations to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes in accordance with
the terms of the Notes or any of the Company’s other obligations or any
Guarantor’s obligations;


 


(2)                                  affect the
relative rights of Holders as against any of the Company’s or the Guarantors’
other creditors (other than holders of Working Capital Facility Liens, Pari
Passu Indebtedness Liens and Existing Note Liens);


 


(3)                                  restrict the
right of any Holder to sue for payments that are then due and owing (but not
enforce any judgment in respect thereof against any Collateral to the extent
specifically prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement);


 


(4)                                  restrict or
prevent any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from exercising any of
its rights or remedies upon a Default or Event of Default not specifically
restricted or prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement; or


 


(5)                                  restrict or
prevent any Holder, the Trustee or the Collateral Agent from taking any lawful
action in an insolvency or liquidation proceeding not specifically restricted
or prohibited by the Intercreditor Agreement.


 


Section 11.10.                  Limitation on Duty of
Trustee and Collateral Agent as to Collateral; Indemnification.


 


(a)                                  Beyond the
exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the
Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or
control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income
thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent
shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or
recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or
times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security
interest in the Collateral.  The Trustee 


 


97





















 


and Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have
exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its or their
possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that
which it or they accord their own property and shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral,
by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other
agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith.


 


(b)                                 Neither the
Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence,
genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection,
priority or enforceability of the Note Liens in any of the Collateral, whether
impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on
its or their part hereunder, except to the extent such action or omission
constitutes gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of
the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for the validity or
sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein,
for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring
the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Note Liens
upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.


 


(c)                                  The Company
shall indemnify the Collateral Agent as set forth in the Collateral Agreements.


 


Section 11.11.                  Authorization of
Intercreditor Agreement.


 


The Holders, by their
acceptance of the Notes, hereby irrevocably authorize and direct the Trustee to
enter into the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of the Trustee and the
Holders, and agree to be bound by the provisions thereof as if they were direct
signatories thereof, and to take all actions required to be taken by them in
accordance with the provisions thereof, and to otherwise comply therewith, and
irrevocably authorize and direct the Trustee to take all actions on its or the
Holders’ behalf as are necessary to comply with the provisions thereof.  The rights and remedies of the Trustee, on
behalf of the Holders, under this Indenture shall be subject to the
Intercreditor Agreement as in effect from time to time.  In the event of any conflict between the
terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Indenture, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.


 


ARTICLE 12.

NOTE GUARANTEES


 


Section 12.01.                  Guarantee.


 


Subject to this Article 12,
each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally
guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity
and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the
Company hereunder or thereunder, that:  (a) the
principal of, premium and interest on the Notes will be promptly paid in full
when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or
otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and premium and interest on
the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or
performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in
case of any 


 


98

















 


extension
of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations,
that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance
with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise.  Failing
payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed
for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to
pay the same immediately, whether or not such failure to pay has become an
Event of Default which could cause acceleration pursuant to Article 7
hereof.  Each Guarantor agrees that this
is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.


 


The Guarantors hereby agree
that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the
validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder
with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance
which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
Guarantor.  To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding
first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and
covenant that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.


 


If any Holder or the Trustee
is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors
or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to
the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore
discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.


 


To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any
right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations
guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed
hereby.  Each Guarantor further agrees
that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the
Trustee, on the other hand, to the extent permitted by applicable law (x) the
maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
Article 7 hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding
any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in
respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any
declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 7
hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith
become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note
Guarantee.  The Guarantors shall have the
right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the
exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note
Guarantee.


 


Section 12.02.                  Limitation on Guarantor
Liability.


 


Each Guarantor, and by its
acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of
all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any
similar federal or state law to the 


 


99

















 


extent
applicable to any Note Guarantee.  To
effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors
hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor will be limited
to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and
all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant
under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to
receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other
Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 12,
result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.


 


Section 12.03.                  Execution and Delivery of
Note Guarantee.


 


To evidence the Note Guarantee
set forth in Section 12.01 hereof, each Guarantor agrees that a notation
of such Note Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto will
be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture will be executed on behalf of
such Guarantor by one of its Officers.


 


Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 hereof shall remain in
full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a
notation of such Note Guarantee.


 


If an Officer whose
signature is on this Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Note, the Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.


 


The delivery of any Note by
the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due
delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the
Guarantors.


 


In the event that the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries creates or acquires any Domestic
Restricted Subsidiary after the date of this Indenture, if required by Section 5.18
hereof, the Company and the Guarantors will cause such Domestic Restricted
Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 5.18 hereof and this Article 12,
to the extent applicable.


 


Section 12.04.                  Releases Following Sale of
Assets.


 


In the event of a sale or
other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger,
consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all the Capital
Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or
after giving effect to such transactions) the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary of the Company, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other
disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the
Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in
the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the
assets of such Guarantor) shall automatically be released and relieved of any
obligations under its Note Guarantee; provided, however, that such sale or other disposition (including by
way of merger, consolidation or otherwise) shall be made in compliance with the
provisions of this Indenture applicable thereto, including Section 5.10
and Article 6 hereof.  Upon delivery
by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the
Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including Section


 


100

















 


5.10
and Article 6 hereof, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably
required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations
under its Note Guarantee.


 


Upon designation of any
Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture, such Guarantor will be release and relieved of any obligations under
its Note Guarantee.


 


Any Guarantor not released
from its obligations under its Note Guarantee shall remain liable for the full
amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations
of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 12.


 


ARTICLE 13.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE


 


Section 13.01.                  Satisfaction and Discharge.

rights or registration or exchange of the Notes, as expressly provided for in
this Indenture) as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:


 


(1)                                  either:


 


(A)                              all Notes that
have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been
replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been
deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation; or


 


(B)                                all Notes that
have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and
payable by reason of the delivery of a notice of redemption or otherwise or
will become due and payable within one year and the Company or any Guarantor
has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars,
non-callable Government Securities, or a combination therof, in such amounts as
will be sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to
pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on the Notes not delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation for principal, interest and premium, if any, to the
date of maturity or redemption;


 


(2)                                  no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit or
shall occur as a result of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of
Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit)
and the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, any material agreement or other instrument to which the Company
or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound;


 


(3)                                  the Company or
any Guarantor has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it under this
Indenture, the Notes and the Note Guarantees; and


 


101

















 


(4)                                  the Company has
delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee under this Indenture to apply
the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the
redemption date, as the case may be.


 


In addition, the Company
must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee
stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been
satisfied.


 


Nothing in this Section 13.01
will be deemed to discharge those provisions of Section 8.07 hereof, that,
by their terms, survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.


 


Notwithstanding the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of
this Section, the provisions of Section 13.02 and Section 9.06 hereof
shall survive.  Further, the Collateral
will be released from the Lien securing the Notes, as provided under Section 11.04
hereof, upon a satisfaction and discharge in accordance with the provisions
described in this Section 13.01.


 


Section 13.02.                  Application of Trust Money.


 


Subject to the provisions of
Section 9.06 hereof, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.01
hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent)
as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal
(and premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been
deposited with the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law.


 


If the Trustee or Paying
Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in accordance with Section 13.01
hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment
of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations
under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 13.01 hereof; provided that if the Company has made any payment of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Notes because of the
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment from the money or
Government Securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

Capitalized terms used
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to
below unless otherwise indicated.


 


1.             INTEREST.  FiberTower
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”),
promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9.00% per
annum from
                            
until maturity.


 


The Company will pay
interest semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each
year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business
Day (each an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest
on this Note will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been
paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment
of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred
to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest
shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date
shall be
                              ;
and provided, further, that each payment of
interest on this Note shall be comprised of (i) cash in an amount equal to
one-third of the amount of such payment of interest and (ii) Additional
Notes in a principal amount equal to two-thirds of the amount of such payment
of interest; provided, further, that the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee, no later than one Business Day prior to
each Interest Payment Date, an order to authenticate and deliver such
Additional Notes.  Any Additional Note
will be identical to this Note, except that interest on an Additional Note will
begin to accrue from the date it is issued.


 


Pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement, the Company has deposited in the Escrow Account cash or Government
Securities that, upon maturity, will be equal to the amount sufficient for the
Company to fully pay the initial six cash interest payments when due.


 


The Company shall pay
interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Code) on overdue principal, if any, at the rate equal to 1.0% per
annum in excess of the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent
lawful; the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Code) on overdue installments of interest
(without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent
lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360 day year of twelve 30
day months.


 


2.             METHOD OF PAYMENT. 
The Company will pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest)
to the Persons who are registered Holders at the close of business on the June 15
or December 15, as the case may be, preceding the applicable Interest
Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after such record date and on or
before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of
the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.  The Notes will be payable as to principal of,
and premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes at the office or agency of the
Paying Agent maintained for such purpose by the Company, or, at the option of
the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at
their addresses set forth in the register of Holders; provided
that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required
with respect to principal and interest and premium, if any, on, all Notes, the
Holders of which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Company
or the Paying Agent.  Such payment shall
be in such coin or currency of The United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.


 


3.             PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR.  Initially, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice
to the Holders.  The Company shall notify
the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent not a party to the
Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain another entity as
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
act as Paying Agent or Registrar.

4.             INDENTURE AND COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS.  The Company issued the Notes under an
Indenture, dated as of December 22, 2009 (the “Indenture”),
among the Company, the Guarantors party thereto and the Trustee. The terms of
the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the
Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (15 U.S.
Code §§ 77aaa-77bbbb) (the “Trust Indenture Act”).  The Notes are subject to all such terms, and
Holders are referred to the Indenture and to the Trust Indenture Act for a
statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts
with the express provisions of the Indenture, the provisions of the Indenture
shall govern and be controlling.  The
Notes are secured as provided in the Collateral Agreements referred to in the
Indenture.


 


5.             OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 
(a)  Except as set forth in clause (b) of this paragraph 5,
the Company shall not have the option to redeem the Notes prior to January 1,
2012.  On or after January 1, 2012,
the Company may redeem all or a portion of the Notes upon not less than 30
days’ nor more than 60 days’ notice, at the redemption prices (expressed as
percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve month
period beginning on January 1 of the years indicated below, subject to the
rights of Holders on the relevant record date to receive interest on the
relevant interest payment date:

(b)  At any time prior to January 1, 2012,
the Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, at a redemption price
equal to the sum of: (1) the principal amount thereof, plus (2) 
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, plus (3) the
Applicable Premium at the redemption date. 
“Applicable Premium” means, with respect to a Note at any time, the
excess, if any, of (A) the present value at such time of (i) the
redemption price of such Note on January 1, 2012 (such redemption price
being set forth in the table appearing above) plus (ii) any required
interest payments (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to such redemption
date) due on such Note through January 1, 2012, computed using a discount
rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over (B) the
principal amount of such Note.  “Treasury
Rate” means the yield to maturity at the time of computation of United States
Treasury securities with a constant maturity (as compiled and published in the
most recent Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15(519) which has become
publicly available at least two Business Days prior to the date fixed for
redemption or, in the case of defeasance, prior to the date of deposit (or, if
such Statistical Release is no longer published, any publicly available source
of similar market data)) most nearly equal to the then remaining average life
to January 1, 2012; provided, however,
that if the average life to such date of the Notes is not equal to the constant
maturity of a United States Treasury security for which a weekly average yield
is given, the Treasury Rate shall be obtained by linear interpolation
(calculated to the nearest one-twelfth of a year) from the weekly average
yields of United States Treasury securities for which such yields are given,
except that if the average life to such date of the Notes is less than one
year, the weekly average yield on actually traded United States Treasury
securities adjusted to a constant maturity of one year shall be used.


 


(c)           Funds
payable in respect of the redemption price to be paid upon the redemption of any
Notes held by a Holder shall include such Holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the
amounts in the Escrow Account, with respect to such Holder’s Notes that are to
be redeemed.


 


6.             REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.   (a) If there shall occur a Fundamental
Change at any time prior to the maturity of the Notes, then each Holder shall
have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase
all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is a multiple of $1,000
principal amount, for cash on a date designated by the Company (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) that is not less than
twenty (20) nor more than thirty (30) days after the date of the Fundamental
Change Notice for such Fundamental Change at a repurchase price equal to 101%
of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, 


 


A-3

















 


plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but excluding,
the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date
falls after an interest payment record date but on or prior to the
corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will pay the full amount of
accrued and unpaid interest on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of
record at the close of business on the corresponding record date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may
be surrendered for repurchase pursuant to Section 3.08 of the Indenture in
connection with a merger, consolidation or other transaction effected solely
for the purpose of changing the Company’s jurisdiction of incorporation to any
other state within the United States.


 


(b)           If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company
consummates any Asset Sale, within five (5) days of each date when the
aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5.0 million, the Company will make
an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Indenture to all
Holders and all holders of other senior secured Indebtedness that is pari passu
in right of payment and as to security interests with the Notes with respect to
the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale containing provisions
similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase
or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum amount
of Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of
the Excess Proceeds in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 3.09
of the Indenture. The offer price for the Notes in any Asset Sale Offer will be
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the date of purchase.  If any
Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company
may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the
Indenture. If the principal amount of Notes and the amount of other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess
Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu
Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.  Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero.


 


(c)           Funds payable in respect of the purchase price to be paid
upon any such purchase of any Notes (described in paragraph (a) or (b) above)
held by a Holder shall include such Holder’s Pro Rata Amount of the amounts in
the Escrow Account, with respect to such Holder’s Notes that are to be so
purchased.


 


7.             NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. 
At least thirty (30) days but not more than sixty (60) days before a
redemption date, the Company will mail or cause to be mailed, by first class
mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at
its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than
sixty (60) days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in
connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of
the Indenture pursuant to Articles 9 or 13 of the Indenture. Notes in
denominations larger than $1,000 may be repurchased in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be
repurchased. On and after the redemption date, interest ceases to accrue on
Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.


 


8.             DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.  The Notes are in registered form without
coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1.00 in
excess thereof. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be
exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may
require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and
transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and
fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. Neither the Company nor the
Registrar will be required to (1) issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen
(15) days before the day of any selection of Notes for redemption under Section 3.02
of the Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of selection, (2) register
the transfer of or exchange any Note selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part, or (3) register
the transfer of or exchange a Note between a record date and the next
succeeding interest payment date.


 


9.             PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. 
The Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes.


 


10.          AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER.  Subject to certain exceptions in Section 10.02
of the Indenture, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or
supplement the Indenture, any Collateral Agreement, the Notes and the Note
Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then
outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes 


 


A-4

















 


and Note Guarantees), and, subject to Sections 7.04
and 7.07 of the Indenture, any existing Default or Event of Default (other than
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Notes, except a Payment Default resulting from an
acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the
Indenture, any Collateral Agreement or the Notes and Note Guarantees may be
waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Notes (including Additional Notes, if any)
voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for, or purchase of, the Notes).


 


Without the consent of each
Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 10.02 of
the Indenture may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting
Holder): (1) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Notes whose Holders
must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver; (2) reduce the
principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any of
the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes; (3) reduce the
rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default interest,
on any Note; (4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
principal of, or interest on, or premium, if any, on, the Notes (except a
rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including
Additional Notes, if any) and a waiver of the payment default that resulted
from such acceleration); (5) make any Note payable in money other than
that stated in the Notes; (6) make any change in the provisions of the
Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to
receive payments of principal of, or interest on, or premium, if any, on, the
Notes; (7) release any Collateral from the Liens of the pledge and
security agreements, except as contemplated by the pledge and security
agreements; (8) waive a redemption payment or mandatory redemption with
respect to any Notes; (9) release any Guarantor from any of its
obligations under its Note Guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture; or (10) make any change in Section 7.04
or 7.07 of the Indenture or in the provisions relating to amendment, supplement
and waiver in the Indenture.


 


Without the consent of any
Holder, the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee may amend or supplement the
Indenture, any Collateral Agreement, the Notes and the Note Guarantees: (1) to
cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; (2) to provide for
uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; (3) to
provide for the assumption of the obligations of the Company or any Guarantor
to Holders in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s or any Guarantor’s assets in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture; (4) to effect the release of a Guarantor
from its Note Guarantee and the termination of such Note Guarantee, all in
accordance with the provisions of the Indenture governing such release and
termination; (5) to add any Note Guarantee or to secure the Notes or any
Note Guarantee; (6) to make any change that would provide additional
rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not adversely affect the legal
rights under the Indenture, the Notes, the Note Guarantees or any Collateral
Agreement of any Holder; (7) to comply with requirements of the SEC in
order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust
Indenture Act; (8) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in
accordance with the limitations set forth in the Indenture; or (9) to
provide for a successor trustee in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture.


 


11.          DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.  Each of the following is an event of default:
(1) default for thirty (30) days in the payment when due of interest on
the Notes; (2) default in the payment when due (at maturity or otherwise)
of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes; (3) failure by the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions of
Sections 3.08, 5.07, 5.09, 5.10 or 6.01 of the Indenture; (4) failure by
the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for sixty (60) days after
notice to the Company by the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes (including Additional Notes, if any) then
outstanding voting as a single class to comply with any of the other agreements
in the Indenture or any Collateral Agreement; provided,
however, that with respect to a failure by the Company to comply
with Section 5.03 of the Indenture, such period shall be ninety (90) days,
rather than sixty (60) days; (5) default under any mortgage, indenture or
instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or
evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of
its Restricted Subsidiaries), whether such Indebtedness or Guarantee now
exists, or is created after the date of the Indenture, if that default (i) is
caused by a Payment Default or (ii) results in the acceleration of such
Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal
amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any
other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the
maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $10.0 million or more; (6) failure
by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final judgments
entered by a court or courts of competent 


 


A-5

















 


jurisdiction aggregating in excess of $10.0 million,
which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of sixty (60)
days; (7) (i) any revocation, cancellation or relinquishment, which
action is not subject to further appeal, of the Company’s or its Restricted
Subsidiaries’ (A) 24 GHz FCC Licenses covering a population equal to or
greater than 5.0% of the population covered by all of the Company’s and its
Restricted Subsidiaries’ 24 GHz FCC Licenses or (B) 39 GHz licenses
covering a population equal to or greater than 33 1/3% of the population
covered by all of the Company’s and its Restricted Subsidiaries’ 39 GHz
licenses, with the population in each case determined by the most recent
official census conducted by the U.S. government and (ii) such FCC License
revocation, cancellation or relinquishment, individually or in the aggregate,
has a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise),
results of operations, business or prospects of the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries taken as a whole; (8) the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries, pursuant to or within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code (i) commences
a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief
against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or similar official under
the Bankruptcy Code of it or for all or substantially all of its property, (iv) makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or (v) generally is
not paying its debts as they become due; (9) a court of competent
jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Code that (i) is
for relief against the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in an
involuntary case, (ii) appoints a custodian, receiver, trustee, assignee,
liquidator or similar official under any Bankruptcy Code of the Company or any
of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or for all or substantially all of the property
of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or (iii) orders the
liquidation of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; (10) any
Collateral Agreement at any time for any reason shall cease to be in full force
and effect in all material respects, or any Collateral Agreement ceases to give
the Collateral Agent the Liens (other than Liens securing Collateral,
individually or in the aggregate, having a Fair Market Value of less than
$500,000), rights, powers and privileges purported to be created thereby, superior
to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than the holders of
Permitted Liens and subject to no other Liens except as expressly permitted by
any Collateral Agreement or the Indenture; (11) the Company or any of its
Restricted Subsidiaries contest in any manner the effectiveness, validity,
binding nature or enforceability of any Collateral Agreement; or (12) the Note
Guarantee of any Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect or is declared
to be null and void and unenforceable or is found to be invalid or any
Guarantor denies its liability under its Note Guarantee (other than by reason
of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of the Indenture).


 


In the case of an Event of
Default specified in clause (8) or (9) above, with respect to the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, all outstanding Notes plus
any remaining amounts in the Escrow Account will become due and payable
immediately without further action or notice. 
If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or
the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes may declare all the Notes, plus any remaining amounts in the
Escrow Account to be due and payable immediately.


 


Holders may not enforce the
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture.  Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow
any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or the Collateral
Agreements that the Trustee determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights
of other Holders or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability or
expense.


 


Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by written notice to
the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, rescind an
acceleration or waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under the Indenture if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of
principal, interest or premium, if any, that has become due solely because of
the acceleration) have been cured or waived. The Trustee may withhold from the
Holders of the Notes then outstanding notice of any continuing Default or Event
of Default under the Indenture if it determines that withholding notice is in
their interest, except a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture
relating to the payment of principal, interest or premium, if any. Subject to
the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee,
including, without limitation, Section 8.01 of the Indenture, in case an
Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the
request or direction of any Holders unless such Holders have offered to the
Trustee reasonable indemnity or security against any loss, liability or
expense.


 


A-6

















 


The Company and each
Guarantor (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the Trust
Indenture Act) shall deliver to the Trustee, within ninety (90) days after the
end of each fiscal year, an Officer’s Certificate, signed by the Company’s
Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Accounting Officer,
stating that a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries
during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the
signing Officer with a view to determining whether the Company and each obligor
under the Notes and the Indenture has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
its obligations under the Note Documents, and further stating, as to the
Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the
Company and each such obligor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each
and every covenant contained in the Note Documents and is not in default in the
performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of the
Note Documents (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred,
describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have
knowledge and what action the Company or such obligor is taking or proposes to
take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no
event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on
account of the principal of, or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or
if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the
Company or such obligor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


The Company shall, so long
as any of the Notes are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon any
Officer becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, an Officer’s
Certificate specifying such Default or Event of Default and what action the
Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.


 


12.          UNCLAIMED MONEY.  Any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, and interest or premium, if any, on, any Note and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal, and interest or premium, if any,
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if
then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Note shall thereafter look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal (national
edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date
of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining will be repaid to the Company.


 


13.          TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY.  The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with
the Company or any Affiliate of the Company with the same rights it would have
if it were not Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any
conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within ninety (90) days,
apply to the SEC for permission to continue as trustee or resign. Any Agent may
do the same with like rights and duties. The Trustee is also subject to
Sections 8.10 and 8.11 of the Indenture.


 


14.          NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.  No past, present or future director, officer,
employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such,
shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or such Guarantor
under the Notes, the Note Guarantees, the Indenture or the Collateral
Agreements or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such
obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Note waives and
releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to
waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.


 


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


 


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


 


17.          CUSIP NUMBERS.  Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by
the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Company has
caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the Notes and the 


 


A-7

















 


Trustee may use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption
or repurchase as a convenience to Holders. No representation is made as to the
accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any
notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers placed thereon.


 


18.          GOVERNING LAW.  THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN
AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE NOTE GUARANTEES.


 


The Company will furnish to
any Holder upon written request and without charge a copy of the Indenture, the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Collateral
Agreement. Requests may be made to:

WHEREAS, on the date hereof
the Company, the Guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”), and the

defined in the applicable Indenture shall be permitted to be secured by the
Working Capital Facility Collateral (as defined in the applicable Indenture) if
(x) the Secured Indebtedness Documents as defined in the applicable
Indenture, do not prohibit such Working Capital Facility Indebtedness from

into this Omnibus Agreement; and


 


WHEREAS, it is a condition
precedent to the issuance by the Company of the Interim Notes that the Existing

respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Interim Notes Indenture then
in effect, unless and until the occurrence of the Transition Effective Date
(defined below) in which case such defined terms are used herein as defined in
the New Notes Indenture then in effect.


 


Section 2. Effectiveness.


 


2.1           Initial Effectiveness.


 


(a)           This

(b)           As

(a)           The

and deliver to the New Notes Trustee a counterpart of, an intercreditor
agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B, and take such further
action and execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in

(c)           The
Interim Notes Collateral Agent agrees that, upon the Transition Effective Date,
it shall (i) promptly deliver, or cause any third party holding Collateral
(as defined in the Interim Notes Indenture) on its behalf to deliver, the
remainder of the Collateral, if any, in its possession to the designee of the
New Notes Collateral Agent (except as may otherwise be required by applicable
law or court order), and (ii) promptly take such further action and
execute and deliver such additional documents and instruments (in recordable

effect the purposes of the New Notes Indenture and the Note Documents (as
defined in the New Notes Indenture).


 


Section 4. Indemnification.  The Company and the Guarantors party hereto,
jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Wells Fargo
Bank, National Association (or such other entity as may be designated as
contemplated by clauses (e) and (f) of the recitals hereto), in its
capacity as Existing Notes Trustee, Existing Note Collateral Agent, Interim
Notes Trustee, Interim Notes Collateral Agent, New Notes Trustee, or New Notes
Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the
Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent, and in each case their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns, against and
from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind
or nature whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel,
costs and expenses of defending themselves against or investigating any claim
or liability and of complying with any process served upon them or any of their
employees, officers or agents in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of their powers or duties under this Omnibus Agreement or any Collateral
Agreement) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of
them, in any way relating to or arising out of this Omnibus Agreement or any


 


5

















 


Collateral Agreement, any
exercise of remedies hereunder or any other action taken or omitted by them
hereunder, except to the extent a court holds in final and nonappealable
judgment that such claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses directly
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified
Persons.  The provisions of this Section 4
shall survive termination of this Omnibus Agreement and the discharge or
satisfaction of any of the Indentures.


 


Section 5. Governing
Law.  This Omnibus Agreement shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the
State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed in such state and
any applicable laws of the United States of America.


 


Section 6. Binding
on Successors and Assigns.  This
Omnibus Agreement shall be binding upon the Existing Notes Trustee, the Interim
Notes Trustee, the Existing Notes Collateral Agent, the Interim Notes
Collateral Agent, the Holders, each other party that hereafter joins this
Omnibus Agreement (including but not limited to the New Notes Trustee, the New
Notes Collateral Agent, Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent, the Working
Capital Facility Lenders, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, the Pari Passu
Lenders), and in each case, their respective permitted successors and assigns.


 


Section 7. Counterparts.
 This Omnibus Agreement may be executed
in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of
which shall together constitute one and the same document.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this
Omnibus Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall be equally as
effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Omnibus
Agreement.  Any party delivering an
executed counterpart of this Omnibus Agreement by facsimile or electronic
transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this
Omnibus Agreement, but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart
shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this
Omnibus Agreement.


 


Section 8. Amendments,
Etc..  No amendment, modification,
waiver or termination of any of the provisions of this Omnibus Agreement shall
be deemed to be made or effective unless the same shall be in writing signed by
each of the parties at such time party hereto.


 


Section 9. Direction
by Majority Holders.  In accordance
with the Interim Notes Indenture, Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the then outstanding Interim Notes may direct the exercise of all powers and
remedies conferred on or available to the Interim Notes Trustee hereunder
(including without limitation the right to make requests on the Existing Notes
Trustee, the Existing Notes Collateral Agent or any other party hereto,
pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise).  In accordance with the New Notes Indenture,
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding New Notes may
direct the exercise of all powers and remedies conferred on or available to the
New Notes Trustee hereunder (including without limitation the right to make
requests on the Existing Notes Trustee, the Existing Notes Collateral Agent or
any other party hereto, pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise).  However, in accordance with the terms of each
Indenture (including, without limitation, Article 7, Article 8, Article 10
and Article 11), the Interim Notes Trustee or the New Notes Trustee, as
the case may be, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or
the applicable Indenture, this Omnibus Agreement, or the


 


6

















 


Collateral
Agreements that such Interim Notes Trustee or New Notes Trustee determines may
be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or that may involve the
Interim Notes Trustee or New Notes Trustee in personal liability or
expense.  In addition, all powers and
remedies conferred on or available to the Interim Notes Trustee or New Notes
Trustee pursuant to Section 3 hereof, constituting rights to make requests
on the Existing Notes Trustee, the Existing Notes Collateral Agent or any other
party hereto, may (without prejudice to the foregoing) be exercised by Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Interim Notes or New
Notes, as applicable, acting directly and not through the Interim Notes Trustee
or New Notes Trustee.


 


Section 10. MUTUAL WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.  THE PARTIES
HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING
BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR
OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH,
THIS OMNIBUS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO.

provided, however,
that if the jurisdiction in which any such Notes Collateral Document or Pari
Passu Collateral Document will be filed prohibits the inclusion of the language

otherwise expressly prohibited in this Agreement, each Junior Secured Party may
exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against any Obligor in
accordance with the terms of the Notes Documents or Pari Passu Indebtedness
Documents, as applicable, and applicable law. 
For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the
receipt by a Junior Secured Party of the required payments of interest on and

Collateral Agent or any Pari Passu Lender, on the other hand, of any
Enforcement Action in respect of any Lien held by any of them in contravention
of this Agreement.  In the event that a

Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured
creditor, the judgment lien held by such Junior Secured Party shall be deemed
part of the Obligations held by such Junior Secured Party and shall be
subordinated to the Liens securing the other Obligations held by the other
Junior Secured Parties to the extent provided in this Agreement.

except to the extent of the Controlling Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court

Agent uses for similar property pledged to it as collateral for indebtedness
generally.

Pari Passu Collateral Agent’s intention to exercise the purchase option given
by the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent to the Interim Notes
Collateral Agent and Pari Passu Collateral Agent under this Section 5.6,
the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent shall not commence any
foreclosure or other action to sell or otherwise realize upon the Shared
Collateral or immediately desist from taking any further action; provided,
that the purchase and sale with respect to the Working Capital Facility
Indebtedness provided for herein shall have closed by the Outside Closing Date
and the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent shall have received payment
in full of the Working Capital Facility Indebtedness as provided for herein on
or before the Outside Closing Date. 
Nothing contained in this Section 5.6(e) shall restrict
or prohibit the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent from taking action to
the extent that the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent, in its good
faith judgment, deems such action to be necessary to preserve or protect the
Shared Collateral.


 


5.7                                 Escrow.  In connection with the issuance of any Series of
Secured Debt, any Obligor may enter into an escrow agreement (each, an “Escrow
Agreement”) with an escrow agent (each, an “Escrow Agent”), which
may be the Primary Notes Collateral Agent, the Working Capital Facility Collateral
Agent or any Pari Passu Collateral Agent pursuant to which such Obligor may
deposit with such Escrow Agent, from the proceeds of such Series of
Secured Debt, an amount equal to that amount of interest payments on the Series of
Secured Debt specified in the applicable Working Capital Facility Security
Document, Notes Collateral Document or Pari Passu Collateral Document (the “Escrowed
Interest”) and may grant a security interest to the applicable Escrow Agent
in such Escrowed Interest to secure all Obligations under such Series of
Secured Debt.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Escrowed Interest (and any
earnings thereon) for a Series of Secured Debt shall


 


32

















 


not
secure any Series of Secured Debt other than the Obligations under the Series of
Secured Debt to which it is pledged and shall be applied to payment of the Series of
Secured Debt it secures in accordance with the terms of the respective Escrow
Agreement and the other Working Capital Facility Documents, Notes Documents or
Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, as applicable.


 


5.8                                 Collateral
Shared Equally and Ratably Among Senior Subordinated Secured Parties.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the
Interim Notes Collateral Agent, the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent
and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties hereby agree that the
payment and satisfaction of all of the Senior Indebtedness will be secured
Equally and Ratably by the security interests in the Shared Collateral
established in favor of the Interim Notes Collateral Agent (for itself and for
the benefit of the Interim Notes Noteholders) and the Pari Passu Collateral
Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Pari Passu Lenders).  It is understood and agreed that nothing in
this Section 5.8 is intended to alter the priorities among the
Secured Parties and the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent and Working
Capital Facility Lenders as provided in Section 2 hereof.


 


5.9                                 Voting.  Following the Discharge of Working Capital
Facility Obligations, in connection with any decision by the Senior
Subordinated Secured Parties under this Agreement, the votes of each Series of
Senior Subordinated Secured Debt entitled to vote thereon shall be cast in the
manner provided by, and in accordance with the decision of the holders of such Series of
Senior Subordinated Secured Debt made pursuant to the terms of the
corresponding Secured Debt Documents.


 


5.10                           Intercreditor
Decisions.


 


(a)                                  No amendment or supplement to any Notes Documents or Pari
Passu Indebtedness Document that changes the date, amount or method of
calculation of the payment of principal of, or interest or premium (if any) on
the Notes Indebtedness or the Pari Passu Indebtedness, in an a way that
adversely affects the rights of any holder of Notes Indebtedness or the Pari
Passu Indebtedness, will become effective without the consent of the Interim
Notes Collateral Agent and Pari Passu Collateral Agent.


 


(b)                                 The Interim Notes Collateral Agent and the Interim Notes
Noteholders, on the one hand, and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the Pari
Passu Lenders, on the other hand, may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to any Junior Secured Party and without impairing
or releasing the obligations of any person under this Agreement, (i) amend
any agreement related solely to such Series of Secured Debt in accordance
with the terms thereof, (ii) release anyone liable in any manner under or
in respect of the obligations owing in connection with such Series of
Secured Debt (but only in respect of such obligations), and (iii) waive
any provisions of any agreement related solely to such Series of Secured
Debt.


 


Section 6. Insolvency
Proceedings.


 


6.1                                 Insolvency
Proceedings Generally.  This
Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition
by or against any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code or the commencement of any
other Insolvency Proceedings and all converted or succeeding


 


33

















 


cases
in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Obligor shall be deemed to
apply to the trustee for any Obligor and any Obligor as
debtor-in-possession.  The relative
rights of the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent, the Interim Notes
Collateral Agent, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the Existing Notes
Collateral Agent in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Shared
Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the filing of such
petition on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any
court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any
Obligor as debtor-in-possession.  This
Agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” for the purposes of Section 510(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding in
accordance with its terms.


 


6.2                                 Financing Issues  From the incurrence of the Working Capital
Facility Obligations until the Discharge of Working Capital Facility
Obligations, if any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and
the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any Working Capital Facility
Lender shall desire (i) to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such
term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code)
constituting Shared Collateral or (ii) to permit any Obligor to obtain
financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code (“DIP
Financing”), then the Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of itself and the
Noteholders, and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Pari Passu
Lenders, will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing
(provided that such DIP Financing is on terms and conditions no less favorable
to the Company and its subsidiaries than any other debtor in possession
financing available to the Company in the market) and to the extent the Liens
securing the Working Capital Facility Obligations (subject to the principal
amount thereof not exceeding the Working Capital Facility Debt Cap) are
subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent will subordinate their respective
Liens on the Shared Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and
all obligations relating thereto) in the same priorities and to the same extent
as provided herein with respect to the Working Capital Facility and will not
request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith
(except, as expressly agreed by the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent
or to the extent permitted by this Section 6.2 or by Section 6.4(b));
provided, that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the DIP
Financing plus the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Working Capital
Facility Indebtedness plus the aggregate face amount of any letters of credit
issued and not reimbursed under the Working Capital Facility Agreement does not
exceed the Working Capital Facility Debt Cap and (ii) the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Noteholders, and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the Pari
Passu Lenders, retain the right to object to any ancillary agreements or
arrangements regarding Cash Collateral use or the DIP Financing that are
materially prejudicial to their interests.


 


(b)                                 From the incurrence of the Interim Notes Obligations until
the Discharge of Interim Notes Obligations, if any Obligor shall be subject to
any Insolvency Proceeding and the Interim Notes Collateral Agent or any Interim
Notes Noteholder shall desire (i) to permit the use of “Cash Collateral”
(as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code) constituting Shared Collateral or (ii) to permit any Obligor to
obtain DIP Financing, then the Existing Notes Collateral Agent, on behalf of
itself and the Existing Notes Noteholders, and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent,
on behalf of the Pari Passu Lenders, will raise no objection to such Cash
Collateral use or DIP Financing and to the extent the Liens securing the
Interim Notes Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP
Financing, the Existing Notes


 


34

















 


Collateral
Agent and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent will subordinate their respective
Liens on the Shared Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and
all obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or
any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the
Interim Notes Collateral Agent or to the extent permitted by this Section 6.2
or by Section 6.4(b).


 


6.3                                 Relief from the
Automatic Stay. Each of the Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of
itself and the Noteholders) and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent (on behalf of
the Pari Passu Lenders) agree that, from the incurrence of the Working Capital
Facility Obligations until the Discharge of Working Capital Facility
Obligations, none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Shared Collateral,
without the prior written consent of the Working Capital Facility Collateral
Agent and the Required Working Capital Facility Lenders.  Until the Discharge of Interim Notes
Obligations, each of the Existing Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself
and the Existing Notes Noteholders) and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent (on
behalf of the Pari Passu Lenders) agree that none of them shall seek relief
from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in
respect of the Shared Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Required
Noteholders under the Interim Notes Indenture and the Required Working Capital
Facility Lenders.


 


6.4                                 Adequate Protection  Subject to Section 6.2, each of
the Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Noteholders) and the
Pari Passu Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Pari Passu Lenders), agree that
none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):


 


(i)                                     any request by
the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or the Working Capital Facility
Lenders for adequate protection; or


 


(ii)                                  any objection
by the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or the Working Capital
Facility Lenders to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the
Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or the Working Capital Facility
Lenders claiming a lack of adequate protection.


 


Subject
to Section 6.2, each of the Existing Notes Collateral Agent (on
behalf of itself and the Existing Notes Noteholders) and the Pari Passu
Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Pari Passu Lenders), agree that none of them
shall contest (or support any other Person contesting):


 


(iii)                               any request by
the Interim Notes Collateral Agent or the Interim Notes Noteholders for
adequate protection; or


 


(iv)                              any objection
by the Interim Notes Collateral Agent or the Interim Notes Noteholders to any
motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Interim Notes Collateral
Agent or the Interim Notes Noteholders claiming a lack of adequate protection.


 


(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.4,
in any Insolvency Proceeding:


 


35
















 


(i)                                     if the Working
Capital Facility Collateral Agent or the Working Capital Facility Lenders (or
any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional
collateral in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then
the Interim Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or any of the Interim
Notes Noteholders) and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or
any of the Pari Passu Lenders) may seek or request adequate protection in the
form of a Lien on such additional collateral, which Lien will be subordinated
to the Liens securing the Working Capital Facility Obligations (subject to the
principal amount thereof not exceeding the Working Capital Facility Debt Cap)
and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all obligations relating
thereto) on the same basis as the other Interim Note Liens or Pari Passu Liens,
as applicable, are so subordinated to the Working Capital Facility Obligations
(subject to the principal amount thereof not exceeding the Working Capital
Facility Debt Cap) under this Agreement; and


 


(ii)                                  in the event
the Interim Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or any of the Interim
Notes Noteholders) or the Pari Passu Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or
any of the Pari Passu Lenders) seeks or requests adequate protection in respect
of any Interim Notes Obligations or Pari Passu Obligations, as applicable, and
such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral, then
the Interim Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or any of the Interim
Notes Noteholders) or the Pari Passu Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself or
any of the Pari Passu Lenders), as applicable, agrees that the Working Capital
Facility Collateral Agent (if Working Capital Facility Obligations are then
outstanding) shall also be granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral
as security for the Working Capital Facility Obligations (subject to the
principal amount thereof not exceeding the Working Capital Facility Debt Cap)
and for any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing provided by the Working
Capital Facility Lenders and that any Note Lien on such additional collateral
shall be subordinated to the Lien on such collateral securing the Working
Capital Facility Obligations (subject to the principal amount thereof not
exceeding the Working Capital Facility Debt Cap) and any such DIP Financing
provided by the Working Capital Facility Lenders (and all obligations relating
thereto) and to any other Liens granted to the Working Capital Facility Lenders
as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Note Liens or other Pari
Passu Liens, as applicable, are so subordinated to such Working Capital
Facility Obligations (subject to the principal amount thereof not exceeding the
Working Capital Facility Debt Cap) under this Agreement.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 6.2
or Section 6.8 or in connection with the exercise of remedies with
respect to the Shared Collateral, nothing herein shall limit the rights of any
Junior Secured Party (other than the Existing Notes Collateral Agent and the
Existing Notes Noteholders) from seeking adequate protection with respect to
their rights in the Shared Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including
adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or
otherwise) and the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent and the Working
Capital Facility Lenders agree that none of them will contest (or support any
other person contesting) any such request for adequate protection that complies
with and seeks relief not prohibited by the provisions of this Section 6.  Until the Discharge of Working Capital
Facility Obligations and the Discharge of Interim Notes Obligations, none of
the Existing Notes Collateral Agent and the Existing Notes Noteholders or their
Authorized Representatives shall seek or obtain or permit to be granted
adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Shared Collateral in
any Insolvency Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a lien
on additional collateral, cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise).


 


36

















 


6.5                                 No Waiver.  Subject to Sections 3.1(a), (e) and
Section 6.4(b)(ii), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any
way limit the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any Working Capital
Facility Lender from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any
action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including, without limitation, action
by a Junior Secured Party seeking adequate protection with respect to its
rights in the Shared Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding (including
adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or
otherwise) or asserting any of its rights and remedies under the Notes
Documents or Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, or
otherwise.  Subject to Sections 3.1(a),
(e) and Section 6.4(b)(ii), nothing contained herein
shall prohibit or in any way limit the Interim Notes Collateral Agent or any
Interim Notes Noteholder from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or
otherwise to any action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including, without
limitation, action by a Junior Secured Party seeking adequate protection with
respect to its rights in the Shared Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding
(including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash
payments or otherwise) or asserting any of its rights and remedies under the
Notes Documents or Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, or
otherwise.


 


6.6                                 Avoidance
Recoveries.  If the
Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any Working Capital Facility
Lender; or Notes Collateral Agent or any Noteholder; or Pari Passu Collateral
Agent or any Pari Passu Lender is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or
otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount
(a “Recovery”), then the relevant Working Capital Facility Indebtedness,
Notes Indebtedness, or Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be reinstated from and
after the Notice Delivery Date to the extent of such Recovery and the Working
Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any Working Capital Facility Lender, or
Notes Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, or Pari Passu Collateral Agent or any
Pari Passu Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies with
respect to such Recovery under the Working Capital Facility Documents, relevant
Notes Documents, Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents or otherwise that it would
have had if it had not received the payment that formed the basis for such
Recovery.  If this Agreement shall have
been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in
full force and effect from and after the date (the “Notice Delivery Date”)
on which the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any Working Capital
Facility Lender, or Notes Collateral Agent or any Noteholder, or Pari Passu
Collateral Agent or any Pari Passu Lender delivers a written notice to the
Notes Collateral Agent and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or Working Capital
Facility Collateral Agent, as the case may be, advising the Notes Collateral
Agent and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent or the Working Capital Facility
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, of such Recovery, and such prior termination
shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the
obligations of the parties hereto from and after the Notice Delivery Date.


 


6.7                                 Reorganization
Securities.  If, in any
Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by
Liens upon any assets of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a
plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of
the Working Capital Facility Obligations, the Notes Obligations and the Pari Passu
Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of
the Working Capital Facility Obligations (subject to the principal amount
thereof not exceeding the Working Capital Facility


 


37

















 


Debt
Cap), the Notes Obligations and the Pari Passu Obligations are secured by Liens
on the same assets, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the
distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with
like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.  If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt
obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any assets of the
reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or
similar dispositive restructuring plan, on account of the Interim Notes
Obligations, the Existing Notes Obligations and the Pari Passu Obligations,
then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Interim
Notes Obligations, the Existing Notes Obligations and the Pari Passu
Obligations are secured by Liens on the same assets, the provisions of this
Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to
such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt
obligations.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Existing Notes Noteholder shall receive in respect of their
Lien on any Shared Collateral any debt or equity securities that are issued by
a reorganized debtor pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive
restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, then unless
such distribution is made under a plan that is consented to by the affirmative
vote of the class composed of the secured claims of Interim Notes Noteholders,
all such debt or equity securities so received shall be paid or delivered
directly to the Controlling Collateral Agent (to be held and/or applied by the
Controlling Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1
hereof).


 


6.8                                 Asset Sales in
Bankruptcy.  Each of the
Notes Collateral Agent (for itself and each of the Noteholders) and the Pari
Passu Collateral Agent (for itself and each of the Pari Passu Lenders) agree
that none of them shall object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any
Collateral free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims under Section 363
of the Bankruptcy Code if Working Capital Facility Indebtedness is outstanding
and the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent has consented to such sale or
disposition of such assets, and such motion does not impair the rights of the
Noteholders or the Pari Passu Lenders under Section 363(k) of the
Bankruptcy Code; provided, that the Working Capital Facility Debt
Cap shall be reduced by an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of such sale
or other disposition which are used to pay the principal or face amount of the
Working Capital Facility Indebtedness. 
Each of the Existing Notes Collateral Agent (for itself and each of the
Existing Notes Noteholders) and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent (for itself and
each of the Pari Passu Lenders) agrees that none of them shall (i) object
to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Collateral free and clear of
security interests, liens or other claims under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code if the Primary Notes Collateral Agent has consented to such
sale or disposition of such assets, or (ii) credit bid for any assets that
are subject to any Disposition in any Insolvency Proceeding in accordance with Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.


 


6.9                                 Separate Grants
of Security and Separate Classification.  Each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees
that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Working Capital Facility
Documents and the Interim Notes Documents and the Pari Passu Indebtedness
Documents and the Existing Notes Documents constitute four separate and
distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of their differing rights in the
Collateral, the secured claims in respect of the Working Capital Facility
Indebtedness, the Interim Notes Indebtedness, the Pari Passu Indebtedness and
the Existing Notes Indebtedness are fundamentally different and must be


 


38

















 


separately
classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency
Proceeding, and none of them shall seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to have
the Working Capital Facility Indebtedness, on one hand, the Interim Notes
Indebtedness, on another hand, the Pari Passu Indebtedness, on another hand, or
the Existing Notes Indebtedness, on another hand, on any of them, be treated as
part of the same class of creditors or shall oppose any pleading or motion to
have the Working Capital Facility Indebtedness, on one hand, the Interim Notes
Indebtedness, on another hand, the Pari Passu Indebtedness, on another hand, or
the Existing Notes Indebtedness, on another hand, and each of them, to be
treated as separate classes of creditors. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is held that the secured claims of
the Working Capital Facility Indebtedness, the Interim Notes Indebtedness, the
Pari Passu Indebtedness and/or the Existing Notes Indebtedness in respect of
the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes
of secured claims as provided herein), then the Secured Parties hereby
acknowledge and agree that all distributions on Collateral securing the
applicable components of such secured claim shall be made as if there were
separate classes of secured claims against the Company and the other Obligors
in respect of such Collateral, all in accordance with the priority set forth in
Section 4.1 hereof.


 


Section 7. Reliance;
Waivers: etc.


 


7.1                                 Reliance
The consent by the Working Capital Facility Lenders to the Lien on the Shared
Collateral granted to the Notes Collateral Agent on behalf of the Noteholders,
and to the Pari Passu Collateral Agent on behalf of the Pari Passu Lenders, and
all loans and other extensions of credit made or deemed made on and after the
date hereof by the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any of the
Working Capital Facility Lenders to the Obligors, shall be deemed to have been
given and made in reliance upon this Agreement. 
Each of the Existing Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the
Existing Notes Noteholders), the Interim Notes Collateral Agent (on behalf of
itself and the Interim Notes Noteholders) and the Pari Passu Collateral Agent
(on behalf of itself and the Pari Passu Lenders) acknowledge that it and the
relevant Noteholders and Pari Passu Lenders, as applicable, have, independently
and without reliance on the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent or any
Working Capital Facility Lender, and based on documents and information deemed
by them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into
the Indentures or acquire the Interim Notes Indebtedness or the Existing Notes
Indebtedness or the Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, and to
enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby,
and they will continue to make their own credit decision in taking or not
taking any action under the Interim Notes Documents, the Existing Notes
Documents or the Pari Passu Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, or this
Agreement.  The consent by the Interim
Notes Noteholders and the Interim Notes Collateral Agent to the Lien on the
Shared Collateral granted to the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent on
behalf of the Working Capital Facility Lenders, to the Existing Notes
Collateral Agent on behalf of the Existing Notes Noteholders, and to the Pari
Passu Collateral Agent on behalf of the Pari Passu Lenders, and all loans and
other extensions of credit made or deemed made before, on and after the date
hereof by the Interim Notes Collateral Agent or any of the Interim Notes
Noteholders to the Obligors, and all Interim Notes acquired, shall be deemed to
have been given and made, or acquired, as applicable, in reliance upon this
Agreement.  Each of the Existing Notes
Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself


 


39

















 


and
the Existing Notes Noteholders), the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent
(on behalf of itself and the Working Capital Facility Lenders) and the Pari
Passu Collateral Agent (on behalf of itself and the Pari Passu Lenders)
acknowledge that it and the relevant Noteholders and Working Capital Facility
Lenders and Pari Passu Lenders, as applicable, have, independently and without
reliance on the Interim Notes Collateral Agent, the Interim Notes Trustee, or
any Interim Notes Noteholder, and based on documents and information deemed by
them appropriate, made their own credit analysis and decision to enter into the
Existing Notes Documents, the Working Capital Facility Documents or the Pari
Passu Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and they will continue to make
their own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Existing
Notes Documents, the Working Capital Facility Documents or the Pari Passu
Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, or this Agreement.


 


(b)                                 The Senior Subordinated Secured Parties hereby acknowledge,
confirm and agree that, for the purposes of determining the Working Capital
Facility Debt Cap, the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent and the
Working Capital Facility Lenders shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and
shall be fully protected in conclusively relying, upon, without further
inquiry, each certificate duly executed by the president, the chief executive officer,
the chief financial officer, the treasurer, or the principal accounting officer
of the Company in the form established by the Working Capital Facility
Agreement certifying that such principal or face amount of Working Capital
Facility Indebtedness is, at the time of its incurrence, not greater than the
Working Capital Facility Debt Cap, taking into account the principal or face
amount of any other Working Capital Facility Indebtedness that will remain
outstanding immediately following the incurrence of such additional Working
Capital Facility Indebtedness.  Such
certificate shall be addressed to and delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent
substantially concurrently with the delivery of such certificate to the Working
Capital Facility Collateral Agent and/or the Working Capital Facility Lenders; provided,
that the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent’s and Working Capital
Facility Lenders’ ability to rely on such certificate shall not be conditioned
on the receipt of such certificate by the Notes Collateral Agent or the Pari
Passu Collateral Agent.


 


(c)                                  The Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent, the Working
Capital Facility Lenders, the Notes Collateral Agent and the Noteholders hereby
acknowledge, confirm and agree that, for the purposes of determining the Pari
Passu Indebtedness Cap, the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and the Pari Passu
Lenders shall be entitled to conclusively rely, and shall be fully protected in
conclusively relying, upon, without further inquiry, each certificate duly executed
by the president, the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the
treasurer, or the principal accounting officer of the Company in the form
established by the applicable Pari Passi Indebtedness Document certifying that
such principal or face amount of Pari Passu Indebtedness is, at the time of its
incurrence, not greater than the Pari Passu Indebtedness Cap, taking into
account the principal or face amount of any other Pari Passu Indebtedness that
will remain outstanding immediately following the incurrence of such additional
Pari Passu Indebtedness.  Such
certificate shall be addressed to and delivered to the Notes Collateral Agent
and the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent substantially concurrently
with the delivery of such certificate to the Pari Passu Collateral Agent and/or
the Pari Passu Lenders; provided, that the Pari Passu Collateral
Agent’s and Pari Passu Lenders’ ability to rely on such certificate shall not
be conditioned on the receipt of such certificate by the Notes Collateral Agent
or the Working Capital Facility Collateral Agent.

The Liens, if any, of the Revolving Agent, the Revolving Creditors and
any Agent, representative or trustee acting on 


 


23

















 


behalf of the Revolving Agent or Revolving Creditors on the
Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, to the extent securing (or purporting to
secure) Excess Revolving Credit Obligations, shall be junior and subordinate to
the Liens of the Term Loan Agent, Term Loan Creditors and any agent,
representative or trustee acting on behalf of the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan
Creditors on the Revolving Credit Priority Collateral, to the extent securing
(or purporting to secure) Term Loan Obligations. The Liens, if any, of the
Revolving Agent, the Revolving Creditors and any agent, representative or
trustee acting on behalf of the Revolving Agent or Revolving Creditors on the
Term Loan Priority Collateral, to the extent securing (or purporting to secure)
the Revolving Credit Obligations, shall be senior to the Liens of the Term Loan
Agent, Term Loan Creditors and any agent, representative or trustee acting on
behalf of the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan Creditors in the Term Loan Priority
Collateral, to the extent securing (or purporting to secure) Excess Term
Obligations.


 


The Liens, if any, of the Revolving Agent, the Revolving
Creditors and any agent, representative or trustee representative acting on
behalf of the Revolving Agent or Revolving Creditors on the Term Loan Priority
Collateral to the extent securing (or purporting to secure) the Revolving
Credit Obligations are and shall be senior in right, priority, operation and
effect to the Liens of the Existing Notes Agent, the Existing Notes Creditors
and any agent, representative or trustee acting on behalf of the Existing Notes
Agent or Existing Notes Creditors on the Term Loan Priority Collateral and such
Liens of the Existing Notes Agent, the Existing Notes Creditors and any agent,
representative or trustee acting on behalf of the Existing Notes Agent or
Existing Notes Creditors on the Term Loan Priority Collateral, in each case
above, are and shall be junior and subordinate in right, priority, operation
and effect to the Liens, if any, of the Revolving Agent, the Revolving
Creditors and any agent, representative or trustee representative acting on
behalf of the Revolving Agent or Revolving Creditors in the Term Loan Priority
Collateral to the extent securing (or purporting to secure) the Revolving
Credit Obligations.


 


(d)           The
priorities of the Liens provided in this Section 2.1 shall not be
altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement,
extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or Refinancing of any of the
Obligations, by any action or inaction which any of the Secured Creditors may
take or fail to take in respect of any Collateral or, except as expressly
contemplated hereby, by the release of any Collateral or the release of any of
the guarantees of any of the Obligations.


 


(e)           All
rights, powers and priorities of the Term Loan Agent as a Primary Priority
Secured Creditor are senior and superior to the rights, powers and priorities
of the Revolving Agent as a Secondary Priority Secured Creditor, and all
rights, powers and priorities of the Term Loan Agent and the other Term Loan
Creditors as secured creditors in respect of the Collateral are senior and
superior to all rights, however arising, of the Existing Notes Creditors as
secured creditors in respect of the Collateral. 
The Revolving Agent as a Secondary Priority Secured Creditor shall exercise
no rights, powers or remedies as a Priority Secured Creditor so long as the
Term Loan Obligations have not been Paid in Full (without prejudice to its
rights as a Junior Secured Creditor under Section 3).  The Existing Notes Creditors shall exercise
no rights, powers or remedies as secured parties in respect of the Collateral
so long as the Term Loan Obligations have not been Paid in Full.  If at any time no Revolving Credit Agreement
shall be in effect, the Term Loan Agent shall be entitled to act a Primary
Priority Secured Creditor in 


 


24

















 


respect of the Term Loan Priority Collateral and the
Revolving Credit Priority Collateral for all purposes of this Agreement.


 


(f)            All
rights, powers and priorities of the Revolving Agent as a Primary Priority
Secured Creditor are senior and superior to the rights, powers and priorities
of the Term Loan Agent as a Secondary Priority Secured Creditor, and all
rights, powers and priorities of the Revolving Agent and the other Revolving
Creditors as secured creditors in respect of the Collateral are senior and
superior to all rights, however arising, of the Existing Notes Creditors as
secured creditors in respect of the Collateral. The Term Loan Agent as a
Secondary Priority Secured Creditor shall exercise no rights, powers or
remedies as a Priority Secured Creditor so long as the Revolving Credit
Obligations have not been Paid in Full (without prejudice to its rights as a
Junior Secured Creditor under Section 3). 
The Existing Notes Creditors shall exercise no rights, powers or
remedies as secured parties in respect of the Collateral so long as the
Revolving Credit Obligations have not been Paid in Full.


 


(g)           All
rights, powers and priorities of the Term Loan Agent as a Primary Junior
Secured Creditor are senior and superior to the rights, powers and priorities
of the Revolving Agent as a Secondary Junior Secured Creditor.  The Revolving Agent as a Secondary Junior
Secured Creditor shall exercise no rights, powers or remedies as a Junior
Secured Creditor so long as the Term Loan Obligations have not been Paid in
Full, but at all times the Revolving Agent as a Secondary Junior Secured
Creditor shall have the obligations and responsibilities of a Junior Secured
Creditor.


 


(h)           All
rights, powers and priorities of the Revolving Agent as a Primary Junior
Secured Creditor are senior and superior to the rights, powers and priorities
of the Term Loan Agent as a Secondary Junior Secured Creditor.  The Term Loan Agent as a Secondary Junior
Secured Creditor shall exercise no rights, powers or remedies as a Junior
Secured Creditor so long as the Revolving Credit Obligations have not been Paid
in Full, but at all times the Term Loan Agent as a Secondary Junior Secured

Creditor.


 


2.2           No
Alteration of Priority.  The
priorities set forth in this Agreement in respect of Collateral are applicable
irrespective of the order, time, method or manner of the creation, attachment,
or perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or
instrument, or other method of perfecting a Lien in favor of each Secured
Creditor in any Collateral, and notwithstanding any conflicting terms or
conditions that may be contained in any of the Obligation Documents, any
provision of any agreement, document, instrument or applicable law and
notwithstanding any subsequent failure to maintain perfection of the Lien in
favor of the applicable Secured Creditor, provided that there has been an
initial valid perfection of the Lien in such Collateral as to the relevant
Secured Creditor under applicable law. 
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that
the Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and the Collateral
securing the Term Loan Obligations as of the date hereof be identical in all
material respects (except with respect to priorities as set forth in Section 2.1
hereof) and, in furtherance of such intent, the parties hereto agree:  (a) to cooperate in good faith in order
to determine, upon any request by the Revolving Agent or the Term Loan Agent,
the specific assets included in the Collateral securing their respective
Obligations, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and the identity of
the respective parties obligated under 


 


25

















 


any Obligation Document, and (b) any Lien obtained by
any Secured Creditor in respect of any judgment obtained in respect of any
obligations shall be subject in all respects to the terms of this
Agreement.  The parties hereto further
acknowledge and agree that it is their intention that the Collateral securing
the Revolving Credit Obligations and the Collateral securing the Term Loan
Obligations include at all times all of the Collateral securing the Existing
Notes Obligations (subject to the priorities as set forth in Section 2.1
hereof) and, in furtherance of such intent, the Existing Notes Creditors
agree:  (a) to cooperate in good
faith in order to determine, upon any request by the Revolving Agent or the
Term Loan Agent, the specific assets included in the Collateral securing the
Existing Notes Obligations, the steps taken to perfect the Liens thereon and
the identity of the respective parties obligated under any Obligation Document
and (b) any Lien obtained by any Existing Notes Creditor in respect of any
judgment obtained in respect of any obligations shall be subject in all
respects to the terms of this Agreement.. 
The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that it is not their
intention that the Collateral securing the Existing Notes Obligations include
all Collateral securing the Revolving Credit Obligations and the Term Loan
Obligations, and that there may be Collateral securing the Revolving Credit
Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations that does not secure the Existing
Notes Obligations , including without limitation as contemplated by Section 2.4(d)


 


2.3           Perfection; Contesting Liens. 
Each Secured Creditor shall be
solely responsible for creating, perfecting and maintaining the perfection of
its Lien in the Collateral in which such Secured Creditor has been or is
intended to be granted a Lien, provided that pursuant to the Existing
Notes Documents and New Notes Documents, the Obligors party to such agreements
have agreed to be solely responsible for creating, perfecting and maintaining
Liens in the Collateral which secure the Existing Note Obligations or New Notes
Obligations, as the case may be.  The
foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective
Lien priorities as among the Secured Creditors in respect of Collateral and
shall not impose on any Secured Creditor any obligations in respect of the
Disposition of Proceeds or any Collateral that would conflict with prior
perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of
any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.  Each Secured Creditor agrees that it will not
(a) institute, join in or support any contest of the validity, perfection,
priority or enforceability of the Liens granted to, or purported to be granted
to, any other Secured Creditor in the Collateral (or any property purported to
be included in the Collateral), including, without limitation, any equity
interests in, or any assets of, any New License Subsidiary or any proceeds
thereof, or the enforceability of the Term Loan Obligations or the Revolving
Credit Obligations (provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed to prevent or impair the rights of the Term Loan Agent or the
Revolving Agent to enforce this Agreement); or (b) prior to payment in
full of the Term Loan Obligations, assert any right as an unsecured creditor
or, in the case of the Existing Notes Creditors, a secured creditor, in, to or
under any equity interests in, or any assets of, any New License Subsidiary or
any proceeds thereof.


 


2.4           Limitation
on New Liens.


 


(a)           The
parties hereto acknowledge that, as of the date hereof, (i) the Liens of
the Term Loan Agent under the Term Loan Credit Documents do not encumber any
assets of any Obligor which assets are not subject to a Lien of the Revolving
Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents (unless as of the date hereof there
are no Revolving Credit Documents in effect) and (ii) the Liens of the
Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents, if any, 


 


26

















 


do not encumber any assets of any Obligor which assets are
not subject to a Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Loan Credit
Documents and (iii) the Liens of the Existing Notes Creditors under the
Existing Notes Documents do not encumber any assets of any Obligor which assets
are not subject to a Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Loan Credit
Documents and a Lien of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit
Documents (unless as of the date hereof there are no Revolving Credit Documents
in effect).


 


(b)           During any
period when Revolving Credit Obligations are outstanding and until such
Revolving Credit Obligations have been Paid in Full, no Term Loan Creditor
shall acquire after the initial closing date under the Term Loan Credit
Agreement any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Term Loan
Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien, if any shall then
exist, of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents, unless the
Revolving Agent shall be notified thereof and shall have had an opportunity to
create a Lien thereon comparable to the Lien thereon in favor of the Term Loan
Creditors, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Revolving Agent
shall have had an opportunity to create such a comparable Lien and shall have
failed to do so beyond 30 days after the later of (x) the date it receives
notice thereof and (y) the date it has the opportunity to create such
comparable Lien, the Term Loan Creditors shall nevertheless be entitled to
create and maintain such Lien on such assets though they are not also subject
to the Lien of the Revolving Agent under the Revolving Credit Documents.  Such Liens, if created in favor of the Term
Loan Agent or Term Loan Creditors and the Revolving Agent or Revolving
Creditors shall be subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein.  If any Term Loan Creditor shall acquire or
hold any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Term Loan Obligation
which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Revolving Agent under the
Revolving Credit Documents (other than by reason of the failure of the
Revolving Agent or the other Revolving Creditors to obtain such a Lien as
contemplated by the first sentence hereof), subject to the Lien priorities set
forth herein, then the Term Loan Agent (or the relevant Term Loan Creditor)
shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Term Loan Creditor
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Term Loan Credit
Document be deemed to also hold and have held, and the applicable Obligors
hereby grant in favor of the Revolving Agent for the benefit of the Revolving
Creditors as security for the Revolving Credit Obligations, such a comparable
Lien for the benefit of the Revolving Agent as security for the Revolving
Credit Obligations (subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein and other
terms hereof) and the Company shall promptly notify the Revolving Agent in
writing of the existence of such Lien.


 


(c)           Until the
Term Loan Obligations have been Paid in Full, no Revolving Creditor shall
acquire after the initial closing date under the Revolving Credit Agreement any
Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Revolving Credit Obligation
which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Agent under the
Term Loan Credit Documents, unless the Term Loan Agent shall be notified
thereof and shall have had an opportunity to create a Lien thereon comparable
to the Lien thereon in favor of the Revolving Loan Creditors, provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term Loan Agent shall have had an
opportunity to create such a comparable Lien and shall have failed to do so
beyond 30 days after the later of (x) the date it receives notice thereof
and (y) the date it has the opportunity to create such comparable Lien,
the Revolving Loan Creditors shall nevertheless be entitled to create and
maintain such Lien on such assets though they are not also subject to the Lien
of the Term Loan Agent under the Term Loan Credit Documents.  Such Liens, if created in favor of the Term
Loan Agent or 


 


27

















 


Term Loan Creditors and the Revolving Agent or Revolving
Creditors shall be subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein.  If any Revolving Creditor shall acquire or
hold any Lien on any assets of any Obligor securing any Revolving Credit
Obligation which assets are not also subject to the Lien of the Term Loan Agent
under the Term Loan Credit Documents (other than by reason of the failure of
the Term Loan Agent or the other Term Loan Creditors to obtain such a Lien as
contemplated by the first sentence hereof), subject to the Lien priorities set
forth herein, then the Revolving Agent (or the relevant Revolving Creditor)
shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Revolving Creditor
and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other Revolving Credit
Document be deemed to also hold and have held, and the applicable Obligors
hereby grant in favor of the Term Loan Agent for the benefit of the Term Loan
Creditors as security for the Term Loan Obligations, such a comparable Lien for
the benefit of the Term Loan Agent as security for the Term Loan Obligations
(subject to the Lien priorities set forth herein and other terms hereof) and
the Company shall promptly notify the Term Loan Agent in writing of the
existence of such Lien.


 


(d)           No
Existing Notes Creditor shall, after the date hereof, acquire any Lien on (i) any
assets of any Obligor that do not at such time secure the Term Loan Obligations
and, if then outstanding, the Revolving Credit Obligations, or (ii) any
equity interests in, or any assets of, any New License Subsidiary or any
proceeds thereof.


 


2.5           Proceeds
of Collateral.  Subject to the
proviso to the first sentence of Section 6.5, any Non-Priority
Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Secured Creditor including,
without limitation, any such Non-Priority Collateral constituting Proceeds, or
any payment or Distribution, that may be received by any Secured Creditor (a) in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of
setoff) with respect to Non-Priority Collateral, (b) in connection with
any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed in lieu of
condemnation) as to Non-Priority Collateral, (c) from the collection or
other Disposition of, or realization on, Non-Priority Collateral, whether or
not pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding or (d) in violation of this Agreement,
shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the Priority
Secured Creditor, in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements, and each Junior Secured Creditor hereby authorizes the Priority
Secured Creditor to make any such endorsements as agent for such Junior Secured
Creditor (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable).  In furtherance of the
foregoing, any Collateral or Proceeds thereof received by any Existing Notes
Creditor including, without limitation, any such Collateral constituting
Proceeds, or any payment or Distribution, that may be received by any Existing
Notes Creditor (a) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy
(including any right of setoff) with respect to any Collateral, (b) in
connection with any insurance policy claim or any condemnation award (or deed
in lieu of condemnation) as to any Collateral, (c) from the collection or
other Disposition of, or realization on, any Collateral, whether or not
pursuant to an Insolvency Proceeding or (d) in violation of this
Agreement, shall be segregated and held in trust and promptly paid over to the
Priority Secured Creditor, in the same form as received, with any necessary
endorsements, and each Existing Notes Creditor hereby authorizes the Priority
Secured Creditor to make any such endorsements as agent for such Existing Notes
Creditor (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is
irrevocable).  The Term Loan Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Term Loan Creditors, and the Existing Notes Agent, on
behalf of itself and the Existing Notes Creditors, each acknowledges and agrees
that the Revolving Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment and that in
the ordinary 


 


28

















 


course of business Revolving Agent will apply Proceeds of
Revolving Credit Priority Collateral in accordance with the terms thereof
(which may not permanently reduce such revolving commitment) and may make
advances thereunder from time to time, and may apply Proceeds of Term Loan
Priority Collateral not required pursuant to the provisions of the Term Loan
Credit Documents as in effect on the date hereof or this Agreement to be paid
over to the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan Creditors to repay Revolving Credit
Obligations in the ordinary course.  The
Existing Notes Agent, on behalf of itself and the Existing Notes Creditors,
acknowledges and agrees that the Revolving Credit Agreement includes a
revolving commitment and that in the ordinary course of business Revolving
Agent will apply Proceeds of Revolving Credit Priority Collateral in accordance
with the terms thereof (which may not permanently reduce such revolving
commitment) and may make advances thereunder from time to time, and may apply
Proceeds of Term Loan Priority Collateral not required pursuant to the
provisions of the Term Loan Credit Documents as in effect on the date hereof or
this Agreement to be paid over to the Term Loan Agent or Term Loan Creditors to
repay Revolving Credit Obligations in the ordinary course.  The Revolving Agent, on behalf of itself and
the Revolving Creditors, acknowledges and agrees that the Term Loan Credit
Agreement contains provisions requiring prepayment of the Term Loan Obligations
and that the Obligors may continue to make such prepayments of Term Loan
Obligations notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Revolving
Credit Agreement or other Revolving Credit Documents.  The Existing Notes Agent, on behalf of itself
and the Existing Notes Creditors, acknowledges and agrees that Collateral and
Proceeds thereof may be applied to repayment or prepayment of the Revolving
Credit Obligations and Term Loan Obligations in accordance with the provisions
thereof, and prior to payment of the Existing Notes Obligations notwithstanding
any contrary provision in any Existing Notes Document.


 


2.6           Release
of Collateral Upon Permitted Collateral Sale.  Each Junior Secured Creditor shall at any
time in connection with any Permitted Collateral Sale of Collateral that, as to
such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral and that is made free
and clear of the Liens of the Priority Secured Creditors (such Lien continuing
as to Proceeds):  (a) upon the
request of the Priority Secured Creditor as to such Collateral subject to such
Permitted Collateral Sale, release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such
Collateral (provided that such Lien shall continue as to Proceeds
thereof), (b) promptly deliver such terminations of financing statements,
partial lien releases, mortgage satisfactions and discharges, endorsements,
assignments or other instruments of transfer, termination or release
(collectively, “Release Documents”) and take such
further actions as the Priority Secured Creditor shall reasonably require in
order to release and/or terminate such Junior Secured Creditor’s Liens on such
Collateral subject to such Permitted Collateral Sale (but not the Proceeds of
such Collateral), and (c) be deemed to have consented under the applicable
Obligation Documents to such Permitted Collateral Sale free and clear of the
Junior Secured Creditor’s security interest (it being understood that the
Junior Secured Creditor shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement,
have a security interest with respect to the Proceeds of such Collateral) and
to have waived the provisions of the applicable Obligation Documents to the
extent necessary to permit such transaction.


 


2.7           Release
of Collateral Upon Release Event. 
The Junior Secured Creditor shall, at any time in connection with a
Release Event with respect to any Collateral that, as to such Junior Secured
Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral:  (a) upon
the request of the Priority Secured Creditor with respect to such Collateral
subject to such Release Event (which request 


 


29

















 


will specify the principal proposed terms of the sale and the
type and amount of consideration expected to be received in connection
therewith), release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral (provided
that such Lien shall continue as to Proceeds thereof), to the extent the
Disposition of such Collateral is either by (i) the Priority Secured
Creditor or its agents or representatives or (ii) any Obligor with the
consent of the Priority Secured Creditor, (b) be deemed to have consented
under the applicable Obligation Documents to such Disposition free and clear of
the Junior Secured Creditor’s Liens (it being understood that the Junior
Secured Creditor shall still, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a security
interest with respect to the Proceeds of such Collateral) and to have waived
the provisions of the applicable Obligation Documents to the extent necessary
to permit such transaction and (c) deliver such Release Documents and take such
further actions as Priority Secured Creditor may reasonably require in
connection therewith; provided that such release by the Junior Secured
Creditor shall not extend to, or otherwise affect any of the rights of the
Junior Secured Creditor to, the Proceeds from any such Disposition of such
Collateral subject to the provisions hereof.


 


2.8           Power
of Attorney.  As to any Collateral
that, as to any Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral, such
Junior Secured Creditor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the
Priority Secured Creditor as to such Collateral and any officer of such
Priority Secured Creditor, with full power of substitution, as its true and
lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place
and stead of the Junior Secured Creditor and in the name of the Junior Secured
Creditor or in such Priority Secured Creditor own name, from time to time in
such Priority Secured Creditor discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the
terms of Sections 2.6 and 2.7 hereof, to take any and all
appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which
may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of such Sections,
including any Release Documents, and, in addition, to take any and all other
appropriate and commercially reasonable action for the purpose of carrying out
the terms of such Sections, all subject to the limitations set forth therein,
such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and irrevocable until the
Term Loan Termination Date, if the Junior Secured Creditor is the Revolving
Agent, or the Revolving Credit Termination Date, if the Junior Secured Creditor
is the Term Loan Agent.  The Junior
Secured Creditor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or
cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in this Section 2.8
if done in accordance with the provisions hereof.  No Person to whom this power of attorney is
presented, as authority for the Priority Secured Creditor to take any action or
actions contemplated hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek
confirmation from any Junior Secured Creditor as to the authority of the
Priority Secured Creditor to take any action described herein, or as to the
existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this power of attorney, which
is intended to grant to the Priority Secured Creditor the authority to take and
perform the actions contemplated herein. 
The Junior Secured Creditor irrevocably waives any right to commence any
suit or action, in law or equity, against any Person that acts in reliance upon
or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney.


 


2.9           Waiver.  Each Secured Creditor (a) subject to the
requirement that the Company shall be required to designate by written notice
to the Term Loan Agent any Revolving Credit Agreement for purposes hereof, as
contemplated hereby, waives any and all notice from any Secured Creditor of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations under the
Obligation Documents and notice of or proof of reliance by the Secured
Creditors upon this Agreement and protest, demand for payment or notice except
to the extent otherwise 


 


30

















 


specified herein and (b) acknowledges and agrees that
the other Secured Creditors have relied upon the Lien priority and other
provisions hereof in entering into the Obligation Documents and in making funds
available to the Company, subject to the provisions hereof.


 


2.10         Notice
of Interest In Collateral.  This
Agreement, and the execution and delivery by any party hereto to the other
parties hereto, is intended, in part, to constitute an authenticated
notification of a claim by each Secured Creditor to the other Secured Creditors
of an interest in the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of Sections
9-611 and 9-621 of the UCC.


 


Section 3.                                            Enforcement
of Security.


 


3.1           No
Duties of Priority Secured Creditor. 
Each Junior Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the Priority
Secured Creditor shall not have any duties or other obligations to such Junior
Secured Creditor with respect to any Priority Collateral, other than to
transfer to such Junior Secured Creditor (other than any Existing Notes
Creditor, until such time as all Revolving Credit Obligations and all Term Loan
Obligations shall have been Paid in Full) any remaining Collateral that
constitutes Non-Priority Collateral and any Proceeds of the sale or other
disposition of any such Collateral that constitutes Non-Priority Collateral
remaining in its possession following the Payment in Full of the associated
Priority Obligations, or in the case of the Existing Notes Creditors as Junior
Secured Creditors, all Priority Obligations, in each case without
representation or warranty on the part of the Priority Secured Creditor.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each Junior
Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that until the Payment in Full of the
associated Priority Obligations secured by any Collateral on which such Junior
Secured Creditor holds a Lien, the Priority Secured Creditor shall be entitled,
for the benefit of the holders of such Priority Obligations, to sell, transfer
or otherwise dispose of or deal with such Collateral, as provided in the
Priority Documents but in no event inconsistent with the other provisions of
this Agreement, without regard to any junior Lien or any rights to which the
holders of the Junior Obligations would otherwise be entitled as a result of
such Lien, except as otherwise provided herein. 
Without limiting the foregoing, each Junior Secured Creditor agrees that
the Priority Secured Creditor shall not have any duty or obligation first to
sell, dispose of or otherwise liquidate all or any portion of such Priority
Collateral (or any other collateral securing the Priority Obligations), in any
manner that would maximize the return to such Junior Secured Creditor,
notwithstanding that the order and timing of any such realization, sale,
disposition or liquidation may affect the amount of proceeds actually received
by such Junior Secured Creditor from such realization, sale, disposition or
liquidation.  Following the Payment in
Full of the associated Priority Obligations, or in the case of the Existing
Notes Creditors as Junior Secured Creditor, all Priority Obligations, the
Junior Secured Creditor may, subject to any other agreements binding on such
Junior Secured Creditor, assert their rights under the New York UCC or
otherwise to any Proceeds remaining following a sale, disposition or other
liquidation of Collateral by, or on behalf of, the Priority Secured Creditor or
the Junior Secured Creditor.  Each Junior
Secured Creditor waives any claim such Junior Secured Creditor may now or
hereafter have against the Priority Secured Creditor arising out of any actions
that the Priority Secured Creditor takes or omits to take (including actions
with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of Liens on any
Collateral, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or
depreciation of, or failure to realize upon, any of the Collateral, and actions
with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Priority
Obligations from any account debtor, 


 


31

















 


guarantor or any other party) in accordance with this Agreement
and the Priority Documents, or arising out of the collection of the Priority
Obligations or the valuation, use, protection or release of any security for
the Priority Obligations if effected in accordance with this Agreement and the
Priority Documents.


 


3.2           Management
of Collateral.  Subject to the other
terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Priority Secured Creditor shall
have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the
applicable Obligation Documents with respect to its Priority Collateral, to
exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to its sole
discretion and the exercise of its sole business judgment, including the
exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of such Priority Collateral
and to hold, prepare for sale, process, Dispose of, or liquidate such Priority
Collateral and to incur expenses in connection with such Disposition and to
exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC of any
applicable jurisdiction.  In conducting
any public or private sale under the UCC of its Priority Collateral, the
Priority Secured Creditor shall give the Junior Secured Creditor such notice (a
“UCC Notice”) of such sale as may be
required by the applicable UCC; provided, however, that 10 days’
notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice.  Except as specifically provided in this Section 3.2
or Section 3.4 below, notwithstanding any rights or remedies
available to a Junior Secured Creditor under any of the applicable Obligation
Documents, applicable law or otherwise, no Junior Secured Creditor shall,
directly or indirectly, take any Enforcement Action with respect to Collateral
that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral; provided
that, subject at all times to the provisions of Section 2,
upon the expiration of the applicable Standstill Period, a Junior Secured
Creditor (other than any Existing Notes Creditor) may take any Enforcement
Action as to such Collateral (provided that it gives the Priority
Secured Creditor at least 10 Business Days written notice prior to taking such
Enforcement Action); provided, further, that notwithstanding the
expiration of the Standstill Period or anything herein to the contrary, in no
event shall any Junior Secured Creditor take any Enforcement Action or exercise
or continue to exercise any such rights or remedies, or commence or petition
for any such action or proceeding (including any foreclosure action or
proceeding or any Insolvency Proceeding) as to its Non-Priority Collateral if
either (i) an Insolvency Proceeding occurs and is continuing or (ii) the
Priority Secured Creditor shall have commenced the enforcement or exercise of

obligation of such Obligor; (ii) as between any Obligor and the Term Loan
Creditors, no such indemnification obligations shall be amended or modified
without Term Loan Creditors prior written consent; and
(iii) Term Loan Creditors shall retain all rights under the Term Loan

Creditors shall remit such fee to the Term Loan Agent as and when such fee is
paid by Company or such other Obligors.

6.2                                 Adequate Protection.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions in
this Section 6, in any Insolvency Proceeding, if any Priority
Secured Creditor (or any subset thereof) is granted adequate protection in

not constituting DIP Financing) or use of its cash collateral (e.g. Revolver
Cash Collateral or Term Loan Cash Collateral, as applicable); provided
that the inability of the Junior Secured Creditors to receive a Lien on actions
under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or proceeds thereof shall not affect the
agreements and waivers set forth in this Section 6.2.  No Existing Notes Creditors shall seek any
Junior Adequate Protection Liens or other adequate protection or replacement

Bankruptcy Code, in respect of the interests of the Existing Notes Creditors in
any Collateral


 


6.3                                 Sale of Collateral; Waivers.


 


(a)                                  In any Insolvency Proceeding, the Junior Secured Creditors
agree that they will not object to or oppose a Disposition of any Collateral
that, as to such Junior Secured Creditor, is Non-Priority Collateral, free and
clear of Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or
any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the Priority Secured Creditors
with respect to such Collateral have consented to such Disposition.  No Junior Secured
Creditor shall  initiate or prosecute or join
with any other Person to initiate or prosecute any claim, action or other
proceeding, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or
otherwise take any action whatsoever including, without limitation, (i) challenging
the enforceability, validity, priority (on terms inconsistent with this Agreement)
or perfected status of any Liens on any Collateral securing the Priority
Obligations of the Priority Secured Creditors under the applicable Obligation
Documents, (ii) asserting any claims which the Company or any other
Obligor may hold with respect to the Priority Secured Creditors, or (iii) determination of any other
Secured Creditor in respect of any Priority Collateral or the value of any
claims of such parties under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise.  No Secured Creditor will
assert a claim that challenges the perfection or validity of a Lien or
Obligations of another Secured Creditor that is based on allegations (x) of
fraudulent conveyance, unlawful payment of distributions to equity holders or
other like allegations, or (y) that could be asserted with comparable
merit against Liens, interests or rights of the Person asserting the claim.


 


(b)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, any
Secured Creditor (other than any Existing Notes Creditor) may credit bid for
any assets that are subject to any Disposition in any Insolvency Proceeding in
accordance with Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided,
that (i) unless, prior to or in connection with a successful credit bid,
the Revolving Credit Obligations are Paid In Full, no Term Loan Creditor may
credit bid on any Revolving Credit Priority Collateral and (ii) unless,
prior to or in connection with a successful credit bid, the Term Loan
Obligations are Paid In Full, no Revolving Creditor may credit bid on any Term
Loan Priority Collateral .  No Existing
Notes Creditor may credit bid for any assets 


 


47

















 


that are
subject to any Disposition in any Insolvency Proceeding in accordance with Section 363(k) of
the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.


 


6.4                                 Invalidated Payments.  To the extent that any Secured Creditor
receives payments on its Priority Obligations or Proceeds of Priority
Collateral for application to its Priority Obligations which are subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
Bankruptcy Law, common law, equitable cause or otherwise (and whether as a
result of any demand, settlement, litigation or otherwise) (each a “Priority Claim Avoidance”), then to the extent of such
payment or Proceeds received, such Priority Obligations, or part thereof,
intended to be satisfied by such payment or Proceeds shall be revived and
continue in full force and effect as if such payments or Proceeds had not been
received by such Priority Secured Creditors, and this Agreement, if theretofore
terminated, shall be reinstated in full force and effect as of the date of such
Priority Claim Avoidance, and such prior termination shall not diminish,
release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the Lien priorities and the
relative rights and obligations of the Priority Secured Creditors and the
Junior Secured Creditors provided for herein with respect to any event
occurring on or after the date of such Priority Claim Avoidance.  The Junior Secured Creditors further agree
that none of them shall be entitled to benefit from any avoidance action
affecting or otherwise relating to any distribution or allocation made in
accordance with this Agreement, whether by preference or otherwise, it being
understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise
allocable to them shall instead be allocated and turned over for application in
accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement.


 


6.5                                 Payments.  Nothing in this Agreement prohibits or limits
the right of a Junior Secured Creditor (other than any Existing Notes Creditor)
to receive and retain any debt or equity securities that are issued by a
reorganized debtor in respect of its Lien in its Non-Priority Collateral
pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan
in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, provided that any debt
securities received by a Junior Secured Creditor to the extent on account of
its Junior Obligations in respect of its Non-Priority Collateral that
constitutes a “secured claim” within the meaning of Section 506(b) of
the Bankruptcy Code will be paid over or otherwise transferred to the Priority
Secured Creditor for application in accordance with Section 2.5, unless
such distribution is (x) made under a plan that is consented to by the
affirmative vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of Priority
Secured Creditors or (y) is of debt securities that (A) are secured
by a Lien on assets of the reorganized debtor which assets are, as to such
Junior Secured Creditor in its capacity as Priority Secured Creditor hereunder,
of the same character as its Priority Collateral hereunder, and (B) if
secured by assets that are of the same character as its Non-Priority Collateral
hereunder, such assets referred to in this clause (B) also secure debt
securities distributed to the Priority Secured Creditor in respect of its Lien
on such Collateral that is its Priority Collateral, and such Lien of the Junior
Secured Creditor referred to in this clause (B) is junior in priority to
the Lien of the Priority Secured Creditor in such assets to the same extent as
the Lien on its Non-Priority Collateral is junior to the Lien thereon of the
Priority Secured Creditor as provided herein, and in such case the provisions
of the next sentence shall govern.  If,
in an Insolvency Proceeding, debt securities of the reorganized debtor secured
by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant
to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on
account of the Priority Secured Creditors’ Liens in their Priority Collateral
and on account of Junior Secured Creditors’ Liens in such Collateral, then, to
the extent the debt 


 


48

















 


securities
distributed on account of the Priority Secured Creditors’ Liens in their
Priority Collateral and on account of the Junior Secured Creditors’ Liens in
such Collateral are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of
this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt securities pursuant
to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt
securities.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Existing Notes Creditor shall receive in respect of their
Lien on any Collateral any debt or equity securities that are issued by a
reorganized debtor pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive
restructuring plan in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, then unless
such distribution is made under a plan that is consented to by the affirmative
vote of all classes composed of the secured claims of Priority Secured
Creditors, all such debt or equity securities so received shall be paid or
delivered directly to Priority Secured Creditors (to be held and/or applied by
the Priority Secured Creditors in accordance with the terms of Section 3.8
hereof)


 


In the
event of any Insolvency Proceeding, except as otherwise provided above, all Proceeds
of Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, any Distribution which
would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect
of the Junior Obligations as to such Priority Collateral) shall be paid or
delivered directly to Priority Secured Creditor (to be held and/or applied by
the Priority Secured Creditor in accordance with the terms of the applicable
Obligation Documents) until all Priority Obligations are Paid In Full before
any of the same shall be made to one or more of the Junior Secured Creditors on
account of any Junior Obligations, and each Junior Secured Creditor irrevocably
authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor in possession, receiver,
trustee, liquidator, custodian, conservator or other Person having authority,
to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions in respect of its Junior
Obligations to the Priority Secured Creditor. 
Each Junior Secured Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers
the Priority Secured Creditors, in the name of each Junior Secured Creditor, to
demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions in respect
of any Junior Obligations to which the Priority Secured Creditors are entitled
hereunder.


 


6.6                                 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification.  Each Secured
Creditor acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to
the Term Loan Credit Documents and the Revolving Credit Documents and the
Existing Notes Documents constitute three separate and distinct grants of Liens
and (b) because of their differing rights in the Collateral, the Revolving
Credit Secured Claims, the Term Loan Secured Claims and the Existing Notes
Secured Claims are fundamentally different and must be separately classified in
any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency
Proceeding.  No Term Loan Creditor shall
seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of
creditors as the Revolving Creditors or the Existing Notes Creditors or shall
oppose any pleading or motion for the Revolving Creditors, the Existing Notes
Creditors and the Term Loan Creditors to be treated as separate classes of
creditors.  No Revolving Creditor shall
seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class of
creditors as the Term Loan Creditors or the Existing Notes Creditors or shall
oppose any pleading or motion for the Revolving Creditors, the Existing Notes
Creditors and the Term Loan Creditors to be treated as separate classes of
creditors.  No Existing Notes Creditor
shall seek in any Insolvency Proceeding to be treated as part of the same class
of creditors as the Revolving Creditors or the Term Loan Creditors or shall
oppose any pleading or motion for the Revolving Creditors, the Existing Notes
Creditors and the Term Loan Creditors to be treated as separate classes of
creditors.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if it is held that the Revolving Credit Secured Claims and/or the
Existing Notes 


 


49

















 


Secured
Claims and/or the Term Loan Secured Claims in respect of the Collateral
constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of secured
claims), then the Secured Creditors hereby acknowledge and agree that all
distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims
against the Company and the other Obligors in respect of the Collateral, with
the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Priority
Collateral exceeds the amount of the Priority Obligations, the Priority Secured
Creditors as to such Priority Collateral shall be entitled to receive to the
extent of such excess, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of
principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect
of post-petition interest, and fees, costs and charges incurred subsequent to
the commencement of the applicable Insolvency Proceeding to the extent
constituting Revolving Credit Obligations or Term Loan Obligations, as
applicable, in accordance with the other provisions hereof before any
distribution from such Priority Collateral is made in respect of any of the
claims held by the Junior Secured Creditors as to such Collateral.


 


6.7                                 Rights as Unsecured Lenders; Release of Lien in Non-Priority
Collateral.  In any Insolvency Proceeding, to the extent
not prohibited by this Agreement, each Secured Creditor may take any action,
file any pleading, appear in any proceeding and exercise rights and remedies
that could be taken by any unsecured creditor, in its capacity as such.


 


6.8                                 Relief From the Automatic Stay.  Until the Priority Obligations have been Paid
in Full, the Junior Secured Creditor agrees that it shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Priority Secured Creditor, seek or request relief
from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency
Proceeding in respect of any part of the Priority Collateral or any Proceeds
thereof; provided, that, in the event the Priority Secured Creditor
seeks or requests relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any
other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of its Priority Collateral,
the Priority Secured Creditor agrees that the Junior Secured Creditor may seek
or request similar relief to that sought by the Priority Secured Creditor, so
that the Junior Secured Creditor may seek to exercise its rights and remedies
under the Junior Documents and against such Collateral and Proceeds thereof
subject to the provisions of this Agreement.


 


6.9                                 Effect of Agreement in Bankruptcy.  This Agreement shall
be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against
any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Insolvency Proceeding and
all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein
to any Obligor shall be deemed to apply to any trustee for such Obligor and
such Obligor as a debtor-in-possession. 
The relative rights of the Term Loan Creditors and the Revolving
Creditors and the Existing Notes Creditors in respect of any Collateral or Proceeds
thereof shall continue after the filing of such petition on the same basis as
prior to the date of such filing.  This
Agreement shall constitute a “subordination agreement” for the purposes of Section 510(a) of
the Bankruptcy Code and shall be enforceable in any Insolvency Proceeding in
accordance with its terms.


 


Section 7.                                            Representations
and Warranties.


 


The
Revolving Agent and the Term Loan Agent and the Existing Notes Agent each
represent and warrant to the other parties hereto that it is authorized under
the Revolving

Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the
Existing Notes Indenture, as the case may be, to enter into this Agreement.


 


Section 8.                                            Miscellaneous.


 


8.1                                 Termination.  Subject to Section 6.4 and
subject to Section 3.8, (i) this Agreement shall terminate as
to the Revolving Creditors (except for their obligations and agreements under Section 2,
Section 3.5, Section 3.8, and Section 8,
which shall continue in full force and effect) and be of no further force and
effect with respect to or for the benefit of the Revolving Creditors (except as
aforesaid) upon Payment in Full of the Revolving Credit Obligations, and (ii) this
Agreement shall terminate as to the Term Loan Creditors (except for their
obligations and agreements under Section 2,  Section 3.5,
Section 3.8, Section 8, which shall continue in full
force and effect) and be of no further force and effect with respect to or for
the benefit of the Term Loan Creditors (except as aforesaid) upon Payment in
Full of the Term Loan Obligations.


 


8.2                                 Successors and Assigns; No Third Party Beneficiaries.


 


(a)                                  This Agreement shall be binding upon each Secured Creditor
and its respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of
each Secured Creditor and its respective successors, participants and
assigns.  Except solely to the extent of
the Obligors’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions in Section 8.7(b),
no other Person shall have or be entitled to assert rights or benefits
hereunder.


 


(b)                                 Each Secured Creditor reserves the right to grant
participations in, or otherwise sell, assign, transfer or negotiate all or any
part of, or any interest in, their respective Obligations; provided that
no Secured Creditor shall be obligated to give any notices to or otherwise in
any manner deal directly with any participant in the Obligations and no
participant shall be entitled to any rights or benefits under this Agreement,
except through the Secured Creditor with which it is a participant.


 


(c)                                  In connection with any participation or other transfer or
assignment, a Secured Creditor (i) may, subject to its respective
Obligation Documents, disclose to such assignee, participant or other
transferee or assignee all documents and information which such Secured
Creditor now or hereafter may have relating to any Obligor or the Collateral
and (ii) shall disclose to such participant or other transferee or
assignee the existence and terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.5                                 GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND VENUE.  THIS AGREEMENT AND
THE OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  EACH OF THE
PARTIES HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS
LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY
CLAIMS OR DISPUTES AMONG THE PARTIES HERETO PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO
ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED THAT
THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE
TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO EXPRESSLY SUBMITS
AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN
ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION
WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE
OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS.


 


8.6                                 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL

8.7                                 Amendments.


 


(a)                                  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement,
and no consent to any departure by any Person from the terms hereof, shall in
any event be effective unless it is in writing and (i) insofar as it
relates to any rights or obligations of the Term Loan Agent and Revolving Agent
as between themselves, signed by the Term Loan Agent and the Revolving Agent,
and (ii) insofar as it relates to any rights or obligations of the
Existing Notes Creditors, signed by the Existing Notes Agent, the Term Loan
Agent and the Revolving Agent.


 


(b)                                 No Obligor shall have any right to consent to or approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.


 


54

















 


8.8                                 No Waiver.  No failure or delay on the part of any
Secured Creditor in exercising any power or right under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other power or right.


 


8.9                                 Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the
validity or enforceability of such provisions in any other jurisdiction.


 


8.10                           Further Assurances.  Each party hereto agrees to cooperate fully
with each other party hereto to effectuate the intent and provisions of this
Agreement and, from time to time, to execute and deliver any and all other
agreements, documents or instruments, and to take such other actions, as may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to effectuate the intent and provisions of
this Agreement.


 


8.11                           Headings.  The section headings contained in this
Agreement are and shall be without meaning or content whatsoever and are not
part of this Agreement.


 


8.12                           Credit Analysis.  The Secured Creditors (other than any Person
acting as a trustee or collateral agent) shall each be responsible for keeping
themselves informed of (a) the financial condition of the Obligors and all
other all endorsers, obligors and/or guarantors of the Obligations and (b) all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Obligations.  No Secured Creditor shall
have any duty to advise any other Secured Creditor of information known to it
regarding such condition or any such other circumstances.  No Secured Creditor assumes any liability to
any other Secured Creditor or to any other Person with respect to:  (i) the financial or other condition of
Obligors under any instruments of guarantee with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the
enforceability, validity, value or collectibility of the Obligations, any
Collateral therefor or any guarantee or security which may have been granted in
connection with any of the Obligations or (iii) any Obligor’s title or
right to transfer any Collateral or security.


 


8.13                           Waiver of Claims.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, each
party hereto waives any claim it might have against any Secured Creditor with
respect to, or arising out of, any action or failure to act or any error of
judgment or negligence, mistake or oversight whatsoever on the part of any
other party hereto or their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
with respect to any exercise of rights or remedies under the Obligation Documents
or any transaction relating to the Collateral in accordance with this
Agreement.  None of the Secured
Creditors, nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents
shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Collateral or for any delay in doing so or, except as specifically provided
herein, shall be under any obligation to Dispose of any Collateral upon the
request of any Obligor or any Secured Creditor or any other Person or to take
any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral or any part thereof.


 


8.14                           Conflicts.  In the event of any conflict between the
provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of the Obligation Documents,
the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.


 


55

















 


8.15                           Specific Performance.  Each of the Term Loan Agent and the Revolving
Agent and the Existing Notes Agent may demand specific performance of this
Agreement and, on behalf of itself and the respective other Secured Creditors,
hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law
and any other defense that might be asserted to bar the remedy of specific
performance in any action which may be brought by the respective Secured
Creditors.


 


8.16                           Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.  The provisions of
this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Secured Creditors. 
None of the Obligors or any other creditor thereof shall have any rights
hereunder, and none of the Obligors may rely on the terms hereof.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or
shall impair the obligations of Obligors under the Obligations Documents.


 


8.17                           Lien Priority Provisions; Subrogation.  This Agreement and
the rights and benefits hereunder shall inure solely to the benefit of the Term
Loan Agent, the Term Loan Creditors and the Revolving Agent and the Revolving
Creditors and the Existing Notes Agent and the Existing Notes Creditors and
their respective successors and permitted assigns and no other Person
(including the Obligors or any trustee, receiver, debtor in possession or
bankruptcy estate in a bankruptcy or like proceeding) shall have or be entitled
to assert rights or benefits hereunder. 
Each Junior Secured Creditor hereby agrees that until the Term Loan
Termination Date, if the Junior Secured Creditor is the Revolving Agent, or the
Revolving Credit Termination Date, if the Junior Secured Creditor is the Term
Loan Agent, it will not assert any rights of subrogation it or they may acquire
as a result of any payment hereunder. 
Each Existing Notes Creditor hereby agrees that until the later of the
Term Loan Termination Date and Revolving Credit Termination Date, it will not
assert any rights of subrogation it or they may acquire as a result of any
payment hereunder.  Nothing contained in
this Agreement is intended to or shall impair the obligation of any Obligor to
pay the Obligations as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their respective terms.


 


8.18                           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Obligation Documents
embody the entire agreement of the Obligors, the Term Loan Agent, the Term Loan
Creditors, the Revolving Agent, the Revolving Creditors and the Existing Notes
Agent and the Existing Notes Creditors with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and any draft agreements,
negotiations and/or discussions involving any Obligor and any of the Term Loan
Agent, the Term Loan Creditors, the Revolving Agent, the Revolving Creditors
and the Existing Notes Agent and the Existing Notes Creditors relating to the
subject matter hereof.


 


8.19                           Indemnification.  The Existing Notes Agent, the New Notes
Agent, the Term Loan Agent and each other Secured Creditor shall be entitled to
reimbursement of their respective expenses incurred hereunder and indemnity in
connection with the actions taken by any of them hereunder.  The Obligors, jointly and severally, hereby
agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Existing Notes Agent, the New Notes
Agent, the Term Loan Agent, and each other Secured Creditor and their
respective directors, officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns,
against and from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses
of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any of
them, in any way relating to or arising out of 


 


56

















 


this
Agreement, any exercise of remedies hereunder or any other action taken or
omitted by them hereunder, except to the extent a court holds in a final and
nonappealable judgment that such claims, actions, liabilities, costs, and
expenses directly resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
such indemnified Person.  The provisions
of this Section shall survive Payment in Full of the Existing Notes
Obligations, the New Notes Obligations, and the Term Loan Obligations, the
discharge or satisfaction of the Existing Notes Indenture and the New Notes
Indenture, and the termination of this Agreement.


 


8.20                           Obligations Unconditional.  All rights, interests, agreements and
obligations hereunder of the Priority Secured Creditors in respect of any
Collateral and the Junior Secured Creditors in respect of such Collateral shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of:


 


(a)                                  any lack of validity or enforceability of any Priority
Document or any Junior Document and regardless of whether the Liens of the
Priority Secured Creditor are not perfected or are voidable for any reason;


 


(b)                                 any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in
any other terms of, all or any of the Senior Obligations or Junior Obligations,
or any amendment or waiver or other modification (including any increase in the
amount thereof), whether by course or conduct or otherwise, of the terms of any
Priority Document or any Junior Document to the extent not inconsistent with
the provisions hereof;


 


(c)                                  any lack of perfection of any Lien on any Collateral or
except as expressly provided herein, any exchange or release of Collateral, or
any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether in writing or by course of
conduct or otherwise, of all or any of the Senor Obligations or Junior
Obligations or any guarantee thereof; or


 


(d)                                 the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of
any Obligor.

Junior Debt and any Junior


 

















 


Guaranties and its
execution of the other Junior Debt Documents (whether upon original issue or
upon transfer or assignment) likewise covenants and agrees that the payment of
any and all of the Junior Obligations shall be subordinate and subject in right
of payment, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to the
indefeasible prior payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt, and that each
holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter created, incurred,
assumed or guaranteed, shall be deemed to have acquired Senior Debt in reliance
upon the provisions contained in this Agreement.


 


2.2           Proceedings.  In the event of any Proceeding involving any
Obligor, (a)  all Senior Debt first shall be indefeasibly paid in full in
cash before any payment of or with respect to the Junior Obligations shall be
made; (b) any payment or distribution, whether , property or securities
which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in
respect of the Junior Obligations, shall be paid or delivered directly to the
Trustee (to be held and/or applied by the Trustee in accordance with the terms
of the Indenture) until all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, and each
Junior Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers,
trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in
the premises to effect all such payments and distributions; provided,
that clauses (a) and (b) shall not prohibit any payment or
distribution of common equity securities of the Company or of debt securities
that are subordinated to the Senior Debt or to any securities issued to the
holders of Senior Debt in a Proceeding, at least to the same extent set forth
herein, and which have maturities and other terms no less advantageous to
Obligors, the Trustee and the Holders than the terms contained in the Junior
Debt Documents; (c) each Junior Creditor agrees to execute and deliver to
the Trustee all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred
to in the foregoing clause (b); and (d) each Junior Creditor agrees not to
initiate or prosecute or encourage any other Person to initiate or prosecute
any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability of the
Senior Debt or any liens and security interests securing the Senior Debt.  The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated
as Senior Debt and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern
the relative rights and priorities of the Trustee and the Holders and the
Junior Creditors even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the security interests
securing the Senior Debt are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in
connection with any such Proceeding and this Agreement shall be reinstated if
at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must
otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Debt or any representative of
such holder.


 


2.3         Payment Upon Senior Default.


 


No Obligor may make and no Junior Creditor may receive
any payment of principal, interest or any other amount due or owing with
respect to the Junior Obligations if, at the time of such payment:


 


(a)   Subject to
clauses (D)-(E) of this subsection 2.3, (i) the Obligors and the
Junior Creditors or any Junior Trustee shall have received a Senior Default
Notice from the Trustee or any Holder stating that a Senior Payment Default
exists, and (ii) such Senior Payment Default shall not have been cured or
waived in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents; or


 

















 


(b)   Subject to
clauses (A)-(E) of this subsection 2.3, (i) the Obligors and the
Junior Creditors or any Junior Trustee shall have received a Senior Default
Notice from the Trustee stating that a Senior Non-Payment Default exists or
would be created by the making of such payment, (ii) such Senior
Non-Payment Default shall not have been cured or waived in accordance with the
terms of the Senior Debt Documents and (iii) 90 days shall not have
elapsed since the date such notice was received; or


 


(c)   Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, subject to clauses (D)-(E) of this
subsection 2.3, the Trustee shall have accelerated the Senior Debt or the Trustee or the Holders shall have
instituted judicial proceedings seeking to enforce payment of or to
collect the whole or any part the Senior
Debt against any Obligor and the Trustee shall have notified the Junior
Creditors of that fact.


 


So long as such payments are not otherwise prohibited
under this subsection 2.3,  Obligors may
resume payments (including all payments missed due to the application of clause
(a), (b) or (c) of this subsection 2.3) in respect of the Junior
Obligations or any judgment with respect thereto:


 


(i)            in the case of a Senior Payment
Default referred to in clause (a) of this subsection 2.3, upon a cure or
waiver of such Senior Payment Default in accordance with the terms of the
Senior Debt Documents; or


 


(ii)           in the case of a Senior Non-Payment
Default referred to in clause (b) of this subsection 2.3, upon the earlier
to occur of (x) the cure or waiver of such Senior Non-Payment Default in
accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents, or (y) the
expiration of such period of 90 days; or


 


(iii)          if the acceleration of the Senior Debt
referred to in clause (c) of this subsection 2.3 is rescinded and if each
judicial proceeding referred to in clause (c) of this subsection 2.3 is dismissed;


 


provided that no other or subsequent event of the
nature referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this subsection 2.3
shall have occurred which would independently prohibit such payment as
contemplated hereinabove


 


Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 2.3
to the contrary:


 


A.    The Trustee
shall not issue to the Junior Creditors more than two notices pursuant to
clause (b)(i) of this subsection 2.3 in any 365 day period, provided that
in any 365 day period, there shall be at least 180 days during which no
blockage of payments by reason of the operation of this subsection 2.3,
pursuant to a notice under clause (b)(i) of this subsection 2.3, shall be
effective and continuing;


 


B.    No Senior
Non-Payment Default existing on the date any notice is given pursuant to clause
(b)(i) of this subsection 2.3 shall, unless the same shall have ceased to
exist for a period of 


 

















 


at least 30 consecutive days, be used as a basis for any subsequent
such notice (it being acknowledged that any breach of a financial covenant
giving rise to a Senior Non-Payment Default for a period ending subsequent to
the date of delivery of any such notice with respect to a breach of the same
covenant for a prior period shall constitute a new Senior Non-Payment Default
for this purpose);


 


C.    The failure
of Obligors to make any payment with respect to the Junior Obligations by
reason of the operation of this subsection 2.3 shall not be construed as
preventing the occurrence of a Junior Default under the applicable Junior Debt
Documents; and


 


D.    The
Obligors shall not be prohibited from making payments of interest on the Junior
Debt by the issuance of additional Junior Debt.


 


The provisions of this subsection 2.3 shall not apply
to any payment with respect to which subsection 2.2 would be applicable.


 


2.4           Payments Otherwise Permitted.  Nothing contained in this Section 2 or
elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Junior Debt Documents shall prevent
Obligors at any time, except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred to
in subsection 2.2 or under the conditions referred to in subsection 2.3, from
making or the Junior Creditors or any Junior Trustee from receiving regularly
scheduled payments of accrued and unpaid interest on to the extent required
pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents. 
However, at no time shall prepayments of the Junior Obligations (whether
by way of maturity, acceleration or otherwise) be permitted to be made by any
Obligor or received by any Junior Creditor or any Junior Trustee, without the
prior written consent of the Trustee and the Required Holders.


 


2.5           Restriction on Action by Junior
Creditor.


 


(a)   Until the
Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash, no Junior Creditor or Junior
Trustee shall, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, take
any Collection Action with respect to the Junior Obligations, except as
permitted below.


 


(b)   Upon the
earliest to occur of:


 


(i)            during the existence of any Senior
Default, (A) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of
the properties and assets of the Company and the Guarantors, taken as a whole;
or (B) the sale or other disposition of properties or assets by any
Obligor or any Subsidiary for a purchase price which equals or exceeds 50 % of
then outstanding principal amount of the Notes; or


 


(ii)           commencement of any Senior Collection
Action by the Trustee or any Holder; or


 


(iii)          the passage of 90 days from the
occurrence of any Junior Default (or if later, from the date of the Trustee’s
receipt of a Junior Default Notice in respect 


 

















 


thereof) if such Junior
Default shall not have been cured or waived within such period;


 


the Junior
Creditors or any Junior Trustee on their behalf may, upon at least five
Business Days’ prior written notice of such intention to the Trustee, accelerate
the Junior Obligations or take any other Collection Action; provided, however,
that if following the disposition of assets or properties or the commencement
of any Senior Collection Action in respect of the Senior Debt as described in
clause (i) or (ii) above, such disposition or Senior Collection
Action is rescinded or terminated, then all Collection Actions taken by such
Junior Creditor shall likewise be rescinded or terminated if such Collection
Action is based solely on clause (i) or (ii) above.  Such five Business Day notice may be given
during the 90-day period described in clause (iii) above.  Upon the occurrence of any of the events in
clause (i) or (ii) above, the Trustee (in the case of clauses (i) and
(ii)) and the Company (in the case of clause (i)), shall immediately give
notice thereof to the Junior Creditors and any Junior Trustee.


 


(c)   Notwithstanding
the foregoing, (i) the restriction on the Junior Creditors and any Junior
Trustee taking any Collection Action described above shall immediately
terminate in the event of (A) a Proceeding with respect to any Obligor (so
long as such Proceeding was not initiated by or at the request of any Junior
Creditor or Junior Trustee or any other Person acting in concert with any
Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee) or (B) any payment or distribution of
any character, whether in cash, securities or other property of any Obligor or
any of its Subsidiaries, shall be made to or received by any creditor on any
indebtedness that in right of payment ranks equal with or junior or subordinate
to any Junior Debt, any agreement or other arrangement for such payment or
distribution is entered into or the Board of Directors (or any similar body) of
any Obligor or Subsidiary authorizes or approves such agreement, arrangement,
payment or distribution, (ii)  the Junior Creditor may file proofs of
claim in respect of the Junior Obligations against any Obligor and exercise all
voting rights in respect of the Junior Obligations in any Proceeding involving
any Obligor, and (iii) to the extent necessary (but only to such extent)
that the commencement of a legal action may be required in order to toll the
running of any applicable statute of limitation that might otherwise prevent
the Junior Creditor from making claims in respect of the Junior Obligations it
otherwise could, there shall be no restriction on the Junior Creditor taking
any Collection Action (but in such an event the Junior Creditor shall give
prior written notice to the Trustee and any cash, securities or other amounts
received by the Junior Creditor in connection with any such legal action shall
be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).


 


2.6           Amendments to Junior Obligations.  Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in
full in cash and notwithstanding anything contained in the Junior Debt
Documents, the Indenture or the other Senior Debt Documents to the contrary,
the Junior Creditors and Junior Trustee shall not, without the prior written
consent of the Trustee, agree to any amendment to the Junior Debt Documents
that, (i) increases the maximum principal amount of the Junior Obligations
or rate of interest on any of the Junior Obligations (it being understood that
the imposition of a default rate of interest not to exceed 2% per annum over
the base contract rate contained in the Junior Debt Documents shall not be
restricted by this clause (i)), (ii) accelerates the dates (including
maturity dates, redemption dates or purchase dates) upon which payments of
principal or interest on the Junior Obligations are due, (iii) adds to the
extent not contained in the Senior Debt Documents, or makes 


 

















 


more
restrictive on the Obligors or any of them than any comparable provision in the
Senior Debt Documents, any default or event of default, any representation or
warranty, or any covenant (including the definitions applicable thereto) with
respect to the Junior Obligations set forth in the Junior Debt Documents
(except to the extent any such addition or change merely mirrors any addition
or change made to the Senior Debt Documents following the Issue Date but only (a) to
the extent, in the case where there is a margin between a “basket” or similar
amount in the Senior Debt Documents and the equivalent “basket” or amount under
the Junior Debt Documents, that such is less restrictive by a margin
corresponding (in percentage terms) to that reflected in the covenants in the
Senior Debt Documents and Junior Debt Documents as of the date hereof (but not
less than 20% in differential) and (b) in any other case, that such
addition or change is no more burdensome than the equivalent addition or change
to the Senior Debt Documents), (iv) changes the redemption, prepayment or
purchase provisions of the Junior Obligations, (v) alters the
subordination provisions with respect to the Junior Obligations, including
subordinating the Junior Obligations to any other debt, (vi) grants any
liens or security interests in any assets of any Obligor whether or not such
assets secure the Senior Debt, or (vii) changes or amends any other term
of the Junior Debt Documents if such change or amendment would materially
increase the obligations of the Obligor or confer additional material rights on
any Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee or any other holder of the Junior
Obligations in a manner adverse to the Obligors, the Trustee or the Holders.


 


2.7           Incorrect Payments.  If any payment or distribution on account of
the Junior Obligations not permitted to be made by any Obligor or received by
the Junior Creditors or Junior Trustee under this Agreement is received by any
Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee before all Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid
in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall not be commingled with any
asset of such Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee, shall be held in trust by such
Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee for the benefit of the Trustee and the
Holders and shall be promptly paid over to the Trustee, or the Holders’
designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Indenture)
to the payment of the Senior Debt then remaining unpaid, until all of the
Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in full in cash.


 


3.     Sale,
Transfer; Additional Subsidiaries.


 


(a)   No Junior
Creditor shall assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Junior
Obligations (a) without giving prior written notice of such action to the
Trustee, (b) unless prior to the consummation of any such action, the
transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement
substantially identical to this Agreement, providing for the continued
subordination of the Junior Obligations to the Senior Debt as provided herein,
and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of the Trustee and the
Holders arising under this Agreement in respect of such Junior Obligations and (c) unless
such assignment or other transfer is permitted under the terms of the Junior
Debt Documents. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such
agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any assignment or
other transfer of all or any portion of the Junior Obligations, and the terms
of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each
Junior Creditor, as provided in Section 14 below.  Nothing in this Section 3(a) shall
apply to any pledge of or grant of a participation in any Junior Obligations.


 

















 


(b)   If pursuant
to the Junior Debt Documents, a present or future Subsidiary of any Obligor
becomes a party to any Junior Guaranty, the Company shall cause such Subsidiary
to execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement providing for the
subordination of the Junior Guaranty to the Senior Debt as provided herein and
for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of the Trustee and the
Holders arising under this Agreement.


 


4.     Legends.  Until the Senior Debt is indefeasibly paid in
full, the promissory note(s) or other instrument(s) or agreements
evidencing or governing any Junior Debt at all times shall contain in a
conspicuous manner the following legend:


 


“This [Note/Agreement]
and the indebtedness [evidenced/governed] hereby are subordinate in the manner
and to the extent set forth in that certain [describe the agreement containing
these provisions] (the “Subordination Agreement”) to the Senior Debt (as
defined in such Subordination Agreement) and each [holder of this Note/creditor
pursuant to this agreement], by its [acceptance/execution and delivery] hereof,
shall be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement.”


 


5.     Amendments
to Senior Debt.  The Trustee and the
Holders may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice
to any Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee, without incurring liability to any
Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee and without impairing or releasing the
obligations of any Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee under this Agreement,
change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew
or alter any Senior Debt, or amend in any manner any Senior Debt Document;
provided that no such renewal, alteration or amendment shall (a) increase
the principal amount of the Senior Debt in excess of the maximum principal
amount permitted by the definition of Senior Debt herein, (b) extend the
final maturity of the Senior Debt by more than one year, or (c) prohibit
or restrict the payment of principal of, interest on, or any other amounts
payable with respect to, the Junior Obligations, in a manner that is more
restrictive than the prohibitions and restrictions contained in the Senior Debt
Documents as in effect as of the date hereof and as set forth herein.


 


6.     Continued
Effectiveness of this Agreement.  The
terms of this Agreement, the subordination effected hereby, and the rights and
the obligations of each Junior Creditor or the Trustee and the Holders arising
hereunder, shall not be affected, modified or impaired in any manner or to any
extent by: (a) any amendment to the Indenture, any of the other Senior
Debt Documents or any of the Junior Debt Documents made in accordance with this
Agreement; (b) the invalidity or unenforceability of any of such
documents; or (c) any exercise or non-exercise of any right, power or
remedy under or in respect of the Senior Debt or the Junior Obligations or any
of the instruments or documents referred to in clause (a) above.  Each Junior Creditor hereby acknowledges that
the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be enforceable at all times,
whether before the commencement of, after the commencement of, in connection
with or premised on the occurrence of a Proceeding.


 


7.     Junior Default Notice; Notice of Senior
Default Cure.  The Junior Creditors
and the Obligors shall provide the Trustee with a Junior Default Notice
promptly upon the occurrence of 


 

















 


each Junior Default,
which notice shall specify the date of first occurrence thereof and the nature
of such Junior Default, and the Junior Creditors shall notify the Trustee
promptly in the event such Junior Default is cured or waived.  The Trustee and the Obligors shall provide
the Junior Creditors and any Junior Trustee with a Senior Default Notice
promptly upon the occurrence of each Senior Default, which notice shall specify
the date of first occurrence thereof and the nature of such Senior Default
(including whether it constitutes a Senior Non-Payment Default or a Senior
Payment Default), and the Trustee shall notify the Junior Creditors and any
Junior Trustee promptly in the event such Senior Default is cured or waived.


 


8.     Cumulative Rights; No Waivers.  Each and every right, remedy and power
granted to the Trustee or the Holders hereunder shall be cumulative and in
addition to any other right, remedy or power specifically granted herein, in
the Indenture or the other Senior Debt Documents or now or hereafter existing
in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, and may be exercised by
the Trustee or the Holders, from time to time, concurrently or independently
and as often and in such order as the Trustee or the Holders may deem
expedient. Any failure or delay on the part of the Trustee or the Holders in
exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect the
rights of the Trustee or the Holders thereafter to exercise the same, and any
single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
remedy, or power, and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial
exercise of the rights of the Trustee or the Holders hereunder shall be deemed
to establish a custom or course of dealing or performance among any of the
parties hereto.  Any failure or delay on
the part of any Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee in exercising any right,
remedy or power pursuant to the Junior Debt Documents because of the terms of
this Agreement, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce the
same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect the rights of the Junior
Creditors or Junior Trustee thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or
partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
or power, and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise
of the rights of the Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee because of the terms of
this Agreement shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or
performance among the Obligors and Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee.


 


9.     Amendments.  Any amendment (including a waiver) of any
provision of this Agreement shall not be effective in any event unless the same
is in writing and signed by the Trustee, each Obligor and each Junior Creditor
and Junior Trustee, and then such amendment shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand
on any Junior Creditor or Junior Trustee in any event not specifically required
of the Trustee hereunder shall not entitle any Junior Creditor or Junior
Trustee to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other
circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.


 


10.   Additional
Documents and Actions.  Each Junior
Creditor and Junior Trustee at any time, and from time to time, after the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, promptly will execute and deliver
such further documents and do such further acts and things as the Trustee
reasonable may request that may be necessary in order to effect fully the
purposes of this Agreement.


 

















 


11.   Subrogation
to Rights of the Holder.  Subject to
the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Senior Debt, the Junior
Creditors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders to

to the Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the
Junior Creditors have been applied to the Senior Debt, until all amounts
payable under the Junior Obligations shall have been paid in full.


 


12.   Severability.  In the event that any provision of this
Agreement is deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable by reason of the
operation of any law or by reason of the interpretation placed thereon by any
court or governmental authority, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or
impaired thereby, and the affected provision shall be modified to the minimum
extent permitted by law so as most fully to achieve the intention of this
Agreement.


 


13.   Rules of

or to amendments of any document (including any reference to amendments of any
Senior Debt Document, Junior Debt Document or this Agreement) or law, shall
include any amendments, supplements, replacements, renewals, waivers or other
modifications.  The terms “asset” and “property”
shall be construed to have the same meaning and both shall include all assets
and property of any kind, whether personal, real or mixed, tangible or
intangible.


 


14.   Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of,
and be binding upon, the successors and assigns of the Trustee, the Holders,
the Junior Creditors and any Junior Trustee and shall be binding upon the
successors and assigns of the Obligors.


 


15.   Defines Rights of Creditors.  The provisions of this Agreement are solely
for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Junior Creditors and the
Trustee and the Holders and shall not be deemed to create any rights or
priorities in favor of any other Person, including any Obligor.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the
Junior Debt Documents or elsewhere is intended to or shall (a) impair, as
among any Obligor and the Junior Creditors, the obligation of such Obligor,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Junior Creditors the Junior
Obligations owing by such Obligor as and when the same shall become due and
payable and otherwise perform its obligations under the Junior Debt Documents,
all in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Junior Debt Documents; or (b) affect
the relative rights against any Obligor of the Junior Creditors and creditors
of such Obligor; or (c) prevent the Junior Creditors from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under the Junior
Debt Documents subject to the limitations upon such rights set forth under this
Agreement for the benefit of the Trustee and the Holders.  Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the
occurrence of any Junior Default in the event any of the Obligors fails to
comply with any of the terms of the Junior Debt Documents, whether or not this
Agreement prohibits such Obligor from complying with such terms.


 

















 


16.   Headings.  The section headings used in this Agreement
are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the
provisions hereof.


 


17.   Termination.  This Agreement shall terminate upon the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Senior Debt.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Junior
Creditors shall be the beneficiaries of the rights set forth in Section 11
hereof until all Junior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.


 


18.   Applicable Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING
OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF

SECTION 3.01             Security
Interest.  (a) As
security for the payment or performance, as the case may be, in full of the
Obligations, each Grantor hereby assigns and pledges to the Collateral Agent,

assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest and lien
(the “Security Interest”), in and on all right, title or interest in or
to any and all of the following assets and properties now owned or at any time

(ix)           all Payment Intangibles;


 


(x)            all Goods;

(xvi)        all Pledged Collateral;


 


(xvii)       all books and records pertaining to the
Collateral;


 


(xviii)      all Supporting Obligations; and


 


(xix)         to the extent not otherwise included, all Proceeds and
products of any and all of the foregoing.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Security
Interest shall not extend to, and the term “Collateral” (and any component
definition thereof) shall not include, any Excluded Property.


 


(b)           Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral
Agent at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction
and in any relevant office any (i) financing statements with respect to
the Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (A) indicate
the Collateral as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect, and (B) contain
the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or
amendment, including whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of
organization and any organizational identification number issued to such
Grantor and (ii) in addition to the foregoing and to the documents
referred to below, all other documents as may be necessary or appropriate for
the purpose of perfecting, confirming, continuing, enforcing or protecting the
Security Interest granted by each Grantor, without the signature of any Grantor
if permitted by applicable law, and naming any Grantor or the Grantors as
debtors and the Collateral Agent as secured party, together with all
information necessary or appropriate to be filed therewith.  Each Grantor agrees to provide such
information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon written request.  The Collateral Agent agrees, upon request by
the Borrower and at its expense, to furnish copies of such filings and other
documents to the Borrower.


 


(c)           The Collateral Agent is further irrevocably authorized to
file with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States
Copyright Office (or any successor office) such documents as may be necessary

Agent agrees, upon request by the Borrower and at its expense, to furnish
copies of such filings to the Borrower.


 


(d)           The Security Interest is granted as security only and,
except as otherwise required by applicable law, shall not subject the Collateral
Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any
obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out of the
Collateral.  Nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent or any other Secured
Party liable as a shareholder of any corporation, as a member of any limited
liability company or as a partner of any partnership, neither the Collateral
Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise
(except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties,
obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a
partner in any partnership.  The parties
hereto expressly agree that, unless the Collateral Agent shall exercise its
rights and remedies and become the 


 


H-7

















 


owner of Pledged Collateral consisting of a
limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto,
this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint
venture among the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, any Grantor and/or
any other Person.


 


SECTION 3.02             Representations and Warranties.  The Grantors jointly and severally represent
and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:


 


(a)           Each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the
Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest
hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent,
for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the Security Interest in such
Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)           Uniform Commercial Code financing statements containing a
description of the Collateral have been prepared by the Collateral Agent based
upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
by the Grantors for filing in each governmental office specified on Schedule IV  hereof (or
specified by notice from the Borrower to the Collateral Agent after the Closing
Date in the case of filings required by Section 5.20 of the Indenture),
which are all the filings (other than filings required to be made in the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office in
order to perfect the Security Interest in the Collateral consisting of United
States Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights) that are necessary as of the Closing
Date (or after the Closing Date, in the case of filings, recordings or
registrations required by Section 5.20 of the Indenture) to establish a
legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent
(for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral in which the
Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the
United States (or any political subdivision thereof).  Each Grantor represents and warrants that, to
the extent the Collateral consists of United States Patents, United States
registered Trademarks and United States registered Copyrights, a fully executed
agreement in the form hereof or, alternatively, each applicable short form
security agreement in the forms attached hereto as Exhibits B-1, B-2 and B-3,
and containing a description of all such Collateral has been or will be
delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the United States Patent and
Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C.
§261, 15 U.S.C. §1060 or 17 U.S.C. §205 and the regulations thereunder, as
applicable, to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in
favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in
respect of all such Collateral.


 


(c)           The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and
valid security interest in all Collateral securing the payment and performance
of the Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b)(i), a perfected
security interest in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected
by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document
in the United States (or any state thereof) pursuant to the Uniform Commercial
Code and (iii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b),
a security interest that shall be perfected in all Collateral in which a
security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of this
Agreement (or the applicable short form security agreement) with the United
States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as
applicable, within the three month period (commencing as of the date hereof)
pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261 or 


 


H-8

















 


15 U.S.C. § 1060 or the one month period
(commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 205.  The Security Interest is and shall be prior
to any other Lien on any of the Collateral, other than Permitted Senior Liens.


 


(d)           Schedule II correctly sets forth as of the Closing
Date the percentage of the issued and outstanding shares or units of each class
of the Equity Interests of the issuer thereof represented by the Pledged Stock
and includes all Equity Interests, debt securities and promissory notes
required to be pledged hereunder.


 


(e)           The Pledged Stock and Pledged Debt Securities have been
duly and validly authorized and issued by the issuers thereof and (i) in
the case of Pledged Stock issued by a corporation, are fully paid and
nonassessable and (ii) in the case of Pledged Debt Securities issued by a
Grantor or a Subsidiary of a Grantor, are legal, valid and binding obligations
of the issuers thereof, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other loss affecting creditors’ rights generally
and general principles of equity or at law.


 


(f)            Schedule V correctly sets forth as of the Closing
Date (i) the exact legal name of each Grantor, as such name appears in its
respective certificate or articles of incorporation or formation, (ii) the
jurisdiction of organization of each Grantor, (iii) the mailing address
and, if different, the chief executive office address of each Grantor, (iv) the
organizational identification number, if any, issued by the jurisdiction of
organization of each Grantor, (v) the identity or type of organization of
each Grantor and (vi) the Federal Taxpayer Identification Number, if any,
of each Grantor.  As of the Closing Date,
Schedule V hereto sets forth a list of any other corporate or
organizational names each Grantor has had in the past four months, together with
the date of the relevant change.  As of
the Closing Date, Schedule V hereto sets forth a list of all other names
used by each Grantor, or any other business or organization to which each
Grantor became the successor by merger, consolidation, acquisition or change in
form, nature or jurisdiction of organization or otherwise at any time in the
last four months.  Except as set forth in
Schedule V, as of the Closing Date no Grantor has changed its
jurisdiction of organization at any time during the past four months.


 


(g)           The Collateral is owned or, in the case of FCC Licenses,
held by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Permitted Liens.


 


(h)           Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this
Agreement to the contrary, no representation, warranty or covenant is made with
respect to the creation or perfection of a security interest in Collateral to
the extent such creation or perfection would require (i) any filing other
than a filing in the United States of America, any state thereof and the
District of Columbia, or (ii) other action under the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the United States of America, any state thereof and the
District of Columbia.


 


(i)            As of the Closing Date, no Grantor holds (i) any
Commercial Tort Claims or (ii) any interest in any Chattel Paper or
Instruments, in each case, in an amount in excess of $250,000 individually,
except as described in Schedule VI hereto.


 


(j)            Each Grantor represents and warrants that the Trademarks,
Patents and Copyrights listed on Schedule III include all United States
federal registrations and pending 


 


H-9

















 


applications for Trademarks, Patents and
Copyrights, all as in effect as of the date hereof, that such Grantor owns as
of the date hereof.


 


SECTION 3.03             Covenants.


 


(a)           Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take all
commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend its right, interest and
title in and to the Collateral against all persons and to defend the Security
Interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and the priority thereof
against any Lien that does not constitute a Permitted Senior Lien.


 


(b)           Each Grantor agrees, at its own expense, to execute,
acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments
and other documents and take all actions necessary to obtain, preserve, protect
and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby,
including the payment of any fees and Taxes required in connection with the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest
and the filing of any financing or continuation statements or other documents
in connection herewith or therewith, including but not limited to any actions
as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably deem necessary.


 


(c)           If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at
its option, but only following 5 Business Days’ written notice to each Grantor
of its intent to do so, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due Taxes, assessments,
charges, fees or Liens at any time levied or placed on the Collateral that (i) constitute
a Permitted Senior Lien or (ii) do not constitute a Permitted Lien, and
may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral to the extent
any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Indenture, and each Grantor
jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within 10 days
after demand for any reasonable payment made or any reasonable expense incurred
by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the foregoing authorization; provided,
however, that nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing
any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the
Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or
other promises of any Grantor with respect to Taxes, assessments, charges, fees
or Liens and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Note Documents.


 


(d)           Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform
all conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each
contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance
with the terms and conditions thereof.


 


SECTION 3.04             Other Actions.  In order to further ensure the attachment,
perfection and priority of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce,
the Security Interest in the Collateral, each Grantor agrees, in each case at
such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the
following Collateral:


 


(a)           Instruments
and Tangible Chattel Paper.  If any Grantor shall at
any time hold or acquire any Instruments or Tangible Chattel Paper in excess of
$100,000 individually or in the aggregate when considered together with
Instruments or Tangible Chattel Paper, as the case may be, arising from related
transactions, such Grantor shall, within 30 days following such acquisition (or
such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent 


 


H-10

















 


in writing), endorse, assign and deliver the
same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by such undated instruments of
endorsement, transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral
Agent may from time to time reasonably specify.


 


(b)           Investment
Property.  Subject to the
terms hereof, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Certificated
Securities, such Grantor shall, within 30 days following such acquisition (or
such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent in writing),
endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent, accompanied by
such undated instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as
the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably specify.  Each delivery of Pledged Securities shall be
accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which schedule shall be
attached hereto as Schedule II and made a part hereof and supplement any
prior schedule so delivered; provided that failure to attach any such
schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Pledged
Securities and shall not in and of itself result in any Default or Event of
Default.  Each certificate representing
an interest in any limited liability company or limited partnership controlled
by any Grantor and pledged under Section 3.01 shall be physically
delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture
and endorsed to the Collateral Agent or endorsed in blank.


 


(c)           Commercial
Tort Claims. 
If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire a
Commercial Tort Claim in excess of $250,000 individually, the Grantor shall,
within 30 days following such acquisition (or such longer period as to which
the Collateral Agent may consent in writing), notify the Collateral Agent
thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor including a summary description of
such claim and grant to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, in such writing a security interest therein and in the proceeds
thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.


 


(d)           Security
Interests in Property of Account Debtors. 
If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in
any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which equals
or exceeds $100,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such
Grantor shall promptly assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent
for the benefit of the Secured Parties. 
Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to
continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and
transferees of the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security
interest.


 


(e)           Securities
Accounts; Deposit Accounts.  The
Grantors shall enter into account control agreements governing each Securities
Account and Deposit Account constituting Collateral, granting to the Collateral
Agent Control over such Securities Accounts and Deposit Accounts, such
agreements to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Collateral Agent, and the Grantors shall have no Securities Account or Deposit
Account not subject to such an account control agreement, in each case except
for (i) Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts, the aggregate amount on
deposit in which does not at any time exceed $100,000, and (ii) payroll
and tax withholding accounts maintained as such in the ordinary course of
business.


 


H-11

















 


SECTION 3.05             Voting
Rights; Dividends and Interest, Etc. 
Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and the Collateral Agent shall have given the Grantors notice that
it is to exercising its rights or remedies under this Agreement:


 


(a)           Each Grantor shall be entitled to exercise any and all
voting and/or other consensual rights and powers inuring to an owner of the
Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose consistent with the
terms of this Agreement, the Indenture and the other Note Documents and applicable
law.


 


(b)           The Collateral Agent shall execute and deliver to each
Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to each Grantor, all such
proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such Grantor may
reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the
voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant
to paragraph (a) above.


 


(c)           Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any
and all dividends, interest, principal and other distributions paid on or
distributed in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent and only to the
extent that such dividends, interest, principal and other distributions are not
prohibited by, and are otherwise paid or distributed in accordance with, the
terms and conditions of the Indenture, this Agreement (including without
limitation Section 4.01 hereof), the other Note Documents and
applicable law; provided  that any noncash dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions that would constitute Pledged
Collateral, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if
received by any Grantor, shall be held in trust for the benefit of the
Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties and shall be delivered to the
Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary
endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent) within 30 days
following the receipt thereof (or such longer period as to which the Collateral
Agent may consent in writing).


 


SECTION 3.06             Additional
Covenants Regarding Patent, Trademark and Copyright Collateral.  (a) Each
Grantor agrees that it will not, and will use commercially reasonable efforts
to not permit any of its licensees to, do any act, or omit to do any act,
whereby any Patent that is material to the conduct of such Grantor’s business
may become invalidated or dedicated to the public.


 


(b)           Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or
its sublicensees) will, for each Trademark material to the conduct of such
Grantor’s business, use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such
Trademark in full force free from any claim of abandonment or invalidity for
non-use.


 


(c)           Each Grantor (either itself or through its licensees or
sublicensees) will, for each work covered by a material Copyright, use commercially
reasonable efforts to continue to publish, reproduce, display, adopt and
distribute the work with appropriate copyright notice as necessary to establish
and preserve its rights under applicable copyright laws.


 


(d)           Each Grantor will take all reasonable and necessary steps
that are consistent with the practice in any proceeding before the United
States Patent and Trademark Office, United States Copyright Office or any
office or agency in any political subdivision of the 


 


H-12

















 


United States, to maintain and pursue each
material application relating to the Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights (and
to obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each issued
Patent and each registration of the Trademarks and Copyrights that is material
to the conduct of any Grantor’s business, including timely filings of
applications for renewal, affidavits of use, affidavits of incontestability and
payment of maintenance fees, and, if consistent with good business judgment, to
initiate opposition, interference and cancellation proceedings against third
parties.


 


(e)           Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or
other interest in any United States federal registrations and pending United
States federal applications for Trademarks, Patents and Copyrights after the
Closing Date (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the
provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any
such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the
goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Collateral
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Within 30 days following such acquisition (or
such longer period as to which the Collateral Agent may consent in writing),
the relevant Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an
appropriate short form security agreement (of the type described in the last
sentence of Section 3.02(b)) with respect to such After-Acquired
Intellectual Property, to the extent that such After-Acquired Intellectual
Property is not covered by any previous such short form security agreement
signed and delivered by it.


 


ARTICLE IV


 


Remedies


 


SECTION 4.01             Pledged Collateral.  (a) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and with notice to the Borrower, the
Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall have the right (in
its sole and absolute discretion) to hold the Pledged Securities in its own
name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as pledgee or as sub-agent) or the
name of the applicable Grantor, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of
the Collateral Agent.  Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with notice to
the relevant Grantor, the Collateral Agent shall at all times have the right to
exchange the certificates representing any Pledged Securities for certificates
of smaller or larger denominations for any purpose consistent with this
Agreement.


 


(b)           Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Grantors in
writing of the suspension of their rights under paragraph (c) of Section 3.05,
then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other
distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (c) of
Section 3.05 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon
become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive
right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal
or other distributions.  All dividends,
interest, principal or other distributions received by any Grantor contrary to
the provisions hereof and of Section 3.05 shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other
property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the
Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsement or instrument of assignment).  Any and all money and other property paid
over to or received by the Collateral 


 


H-13

















 


Agent pursuant to the provisions of this
paragraph (b) shall be retained by the Collateral Agent in an account
established by the Collateral Agent upon receipt of such money or other
property and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.03.  After all Events of Default have been cured
or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each applicable Grantor
(without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions
that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms
of paragraph (c) of Section 3.05 and that remain in such
account.


 


(c)           Subject to Section 6.15, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default and with notice to the
Borrower, all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual
rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a) of Section 3.05,
and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (b) of Section 3.05,
shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the
Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority
to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers and each Grantor
shall, at its sole cost and expense, from time to time execute and deliver to
the Collateral Agent appropriate instruments as the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request in order to permit the Collateral Agent to exercise the
voting and other rights which it may be entitled to exercise and to receive all
distributions which it may be entitled to receive; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise directed by the Majority Holders, the Collateral Agent shall
have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an
Event of Default and the provision of the notice referred to above to permit
the Grantors to exercise such rights.  To
the extent the notice referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph (c) has
been given, after all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor
shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights
and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant
to the terms of paragraph (a) of Section 3.05, and the
Collateral Agent shall again have the obligations under paragraph (b) of Section 3.05.


 


(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4.01, if a Bankruptcy Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give any notice
referred to in Section 3.05 or this Section 4.01 in
order to exercise any of its rights described in said Sections, and the
suspension of the rights of each of the Grantors under said Sections shall be
automatic upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Default.


 


SECTION 4.02             Uniform Commercial Code and Other
Remedies.  Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor
agrees to deliver each item of Collateral to the Collateral Agent on demand,
and it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to take any of
or all the following actions at the same or different times: (a) with
respect to any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, on demand, to
cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of
any of or all such Collateral by the applicable Grantor to the Collateral
Agent, or to license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and
whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Collateral throughout
the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral
Agent shall determine (other than in violation of any then-existing licensing
arrangements), (b) with or without legal process and with or without prior
notice or demand for performance, to take possession of the Collateral without
breach of the peace, and subject to the terms of any related lease agreement,
to enter any premises where the Collateral may be located for the purpose of
taking possession of or removing the Collateral, and (c) generally, to
exercise 


 


H-14

















 


any
and all rights afforded to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of
any relevant jurisdiction or other applicable law.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Grantor agrees that the Collateral Agent shall have the right,
subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law, to sell or otherwise
dispose of all or any part of the Collateral at a public or private sale or at
any broker’s board or on any securities exchange upon such commercially
reasonable terms and conditions as it may deem advisable, for cash, upon credit
or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate.  The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at
any such sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective
bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a
view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such
sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver
to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any such sale shall
hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right on the part of
any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law)
all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may
at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter enacted.


 


The Collateral Agent shall give each applicable
Grantor 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice
within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent
in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of
Collateral.  Such notice, in the case of
a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of
a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board
or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the
Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or
exchange.  Any such public sale shall be
held at such time or times and at a time and at such place or places as the
Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice (if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion
thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate
parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion)
determine.  The Collateral Agent shall
not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not
to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall
have been given.  The Collateral Agent
may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause
the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the
time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the
Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may
be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the
purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent shall not incur any
liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and
pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such
Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. 
At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made
pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) from any right of redemption, stay,
valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also
hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), the
Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account
thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any
Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may,
upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such
property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a


 


H-15
















 


bona fide written agreement
to purchase the Collateral or any portion thereof entered into by the
Collateral Agent in good faith shall be treated as a sale thereof; the
Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such
agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or
any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the
Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of
Default shall have been remedied and the Obligations paid in full.  As an alternative to exercising the power of
sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or
suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court
or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a
court-appointed receiver.


 


Each Grantor irrevocably (until the Termination
Date) makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers,
employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true
and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) for the purpose, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Event of Default, of making, settling and
adjusting claims in respect of Collateral under policies of insurance,
endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other
item of payment for the proceeds of such policies of insurance and for making
all determinations and decisions with respect thereto.  In the event that any Grantor at any time or
times shall fail to obtain or maintain any of the policies of insurance
required under the Indenture or to pay any premium in whole or part relating
thereto, the Collateral Agent may, without waiving or releasing any obligation
or liability of any Grantor hereunder or any Default or Event of Default, in
its sole discretion or upon the instruction of the Majority Holders, obtain and
maintain such policies of insurance and pay such premium and take any other
actions with respect thereto as the Collateral Agent or Majority Holders deem
advisable.  All sums disbursed by the
Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including attorneys’ fees,
court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable,
upon demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional
Obligations secured hereby.


 


SECTION 4.03             Application of Proceeds.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall remit the proceeds of any
collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral to the
Trustee to be used to satisfy the Obligations in accordance with Section 7.10
of the Indenture.


 


Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral
Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a
judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or of the officer
making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers
of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be
obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over
to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the
misapplication thereof.


 


SECTION 4.04             Grant of
License to Use Intellectual Property.  For the purpose of enabling the Collateral
Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the
Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and
remedies, each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable
(until the Termination Date), nonexclusive license, subject in all respects to
any existing licenses (exercisable without payment of royalty or other
compensation to the Grantors), to use, license or sublicense any of 


 


H-16

















 


the
Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired
by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such
license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded
or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or
printout thereof.  The use of such
license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the
Collateral Agent, only upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default; provided, however, that any license, sublicense
or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon each Grantor notwithstanding that such Event of
Default may be cured or cease to exist.


 


SECTION 4.05             Securities
Act, Etc.  In view of the
position of the Grantors in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of
other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the U.S.
Securities Act of 1933, as now or hereafter in effect, or any similar statute
hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar
statute as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities
Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted
hereunder.  Each Grantor understands that
compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the
course of conduct of the Collateral Agent if the Collateral Agent were to
attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, and might also
limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of
any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same.  Similarly, there may be other legal
restrictions or limitations affecting the Collateral Agent in any attempt to
dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral under applicable “blue sky” or
other state securities laws or similar laws analogous in purpose or
effect.  Each Grantor recognizes that to
the extent such restrictions and limitations apply to any proposed sale of
Pledged Collateral, the Collateral Agent may, with respect to any sale of such
Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other
things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof, Each
Grantor acknowledges and agrees that to the extent such restrictions and
limitations apply to any proposed sale of Pledged Collateral, the Collateral Agent,
in its sole and absolute discretion (a) may proceed to make such a sale whether
or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged
Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities
Laws and (b) may approach and negotiate with a limited number of potential
purchasers (including a single potential purchaser) to effect such sale.  Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any
such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller
than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions.  In the event of any such sale, the Collateral
Agent shall incur no responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of
the Pledged Collateral at a price that the Collateral Agent, in its sole and
absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances,
notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have
been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid
or if more than a limited number of purchasers (or a single purchaser) were
approached.  The provisions of this Section
4.05 will apply notwithstanding the existence of a public or private market
upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at
which the Collateral Agent sells.


 


SECTION 4.06             Intercreditor
Agreement.  The rights and
remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Trustee, on behalf of the Secured
Parties, under this Agreement shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement,
if any, in effect from time to time.  In
the event of any conflict 


 


H-17

















 


between
the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the
Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.


 


SECTION 4.07             Exercise of
Control.  Unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent agrees that
it will not (nor will it direct any agent acting as a trustee or other agent as
secured party pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement or any “control agreement”
to) deliver any notice of control or otherwise exercise control or issue any
entitlement orders or instructions over any Account or any other deposit or
securities account of any Grantor subject to a “control agreement”.  Upon the cure or written waiver of such Event
of Default in accordance with the Note Documents and provided that no Event of
Default then exists, the Collateral Agent will (or will direct any agent acting
as a trustee or other agent as secured party pursuant to the Intercreditor
Agreement or any “control agreement” to) deliver a termination of any notice of
control previously sent by the Collateral Agent, and hereby agrees to no longer
issue any entitlement orders or instructions with respect to, any Account or
any other deposit or securities account of such Grantor over which control was
previously exercised.

to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 14.02 of the Indenture.


 


SECTION 6.02             Survival of
Agreement.  All covenants,
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower and Guarantors
in the Note Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or
delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note
Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Secured Parties
and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Note Documents and the
issuance of any Notes, regardless of any investigation made by any Holder or on
its behalf and notwithstanding that the Trustee, Collateral Agent or any Holder
may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or
warranty, and shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination
Date.


 


SECTION 6.03             Binding
Effect; Several Agreement. 
This Agreement shall become effective as to the Borrower or any
Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the Borrower or such
Guarantor, as applicable, shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and
a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral
Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the Borrower or such Guarantor, as
applicable, and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors
and assigns, and shall inure to the 


 


H-18

















 


benefit
of the Borrower or such Guarantor, as applicable, the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
except that neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall have the right to
assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein
or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void),
except as contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or the Indenture.  This Agreement shall be construed as a
separate agreement with respect to the Borrower and each Guarantor and may be
amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to the Borrower
or any Guarantor without the approval of any other of the Borrower and the
Guarantors and without affecting the obligations of any other of the Borrower
and the Guarantors hereunder.


 


SECTION 6.04             Successors and Assigns.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties
hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors
and permitted assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements
by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective
successors and assigns.


 


SECTION 6.05             Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.  The parties hereto agree that the Collateral
Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder and
indemnity in connection with the actions taken hereunder.  Each Grantor hereby agrees to indemnify and
hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, employees and
agents against and from any and all claims, actions, liabilities, costs and
expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted
against any of them, in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement,
any exercise of remedies hereunder or any other action taken or omitted by them
hereunder, except to the extent a court holds in final and nonappealable
judgment that such claims, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses directly
resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnified
Persons.  The provisions of this Section 6.05
shall survive the Termination Date.


 


SECTION 6.06             Collateral
Agent Appointed Attorney-in—Fact. 
Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent as the
attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of, upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the
Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes
hereof, which appointment is irrevocable (until the Termination Date) and
coupled with an interest; provided, however, that the Collateral
Agent shall not execute on behalf of Grantors any application or other
instrument to be submitted to the FCC.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the
right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the
name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all
notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment
relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive
payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or any of
the Collateral, (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of
lading relating to any of the Collateral, (d) to send verifications of Accounts
to any Account Debtor, (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions
or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to
collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any
rights in respect of any Collateral, (f) to 


 


H-19

















 


settle,
compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or proceedings
relating to all or any of the Collateral, (g) to notify, or to require any
Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral
Agent, and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with
respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all
other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms, as fully and completely as though the Collateral
Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring
or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any
inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the
Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any
action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or
to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby.  The Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the
exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their
officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor
for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court in a final and nonappealable
judgment.  The foregoing powers of
attorney being coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until the Security
Interest shall have terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


SECTION 6.07             Applicable
Law.  THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


SECTION 6.08             Waivers;
Amendment.  (a) No failure or
delay by the Collateral Agent, the Trustee or any Holder in exercising any
right or power hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a
waiver hereof or thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a
right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right or power.  The rights
and remedies of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Note
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that
they would otherwise have.  No waiver of
any provision of any Note Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower
or any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall
be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 6.08, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose
for which given.  Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the purchase of a Note shall not be construed as a
waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Secured Party may have had
notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  Except as otherwise provided herein, no
notice or demand on the Borrower or any Guarantor in any case shall entitle the
Borrower or any Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.


 


(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be
waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in
writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and any of the Borrower and the
Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to
apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Article 10 of the
Indenture.

SECTION 6.09             WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO, AND EACH OTHER SECURED
PARTY, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A)
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES
THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS,
THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.09.


 


SECTION 6.10             Severability.  In the event any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement or in any other Note Document should be
held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect by any court or
governmental authority of competent jurisdiction (including but not limited to
the FCC), the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions
contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a
particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such
provision in any other jurisdiction). 
The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions.


 


SECTION 6.11             Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in Section
6.03.  Delivery of an executed
signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission shall
be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.


 


SECTION 6.12             Headings.  Article and Section headings and the Table of
Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of
this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into

SECTION 6.13             Jurisdiction;
Consent to Service of Process. 
(a) Each of the parties hereto, and the other Secured Parties, by their
acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive
jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States
of America, in each case, sitting in New York City, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or the other Note Documents, or for recognition or enforcement
of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto and the other Secured Parties,
by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or
proceeding may be heard 


 


H-21

















 


and
determined in such New York State or, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, in such Federal court. 
Each of the parties hereto and the other Secured Parties, by their
acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement agrees that a final judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any
other Note Document shall affect any right that any Secured Party may otherwise
have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the other
Note Documents against the Borrower or any Guarantor or their respective
properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.


 


(b)           Each of the parties hereto and the other Secured Parties,
by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do
so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the other Note Documents in any New York State or Federal court described in
clause (a).  Each of the parties hereto
and the other Secured Parties, by their acceptance of the benefits of this
Agreement hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court.


 


(c)           Each of the parties hereto and the other Secured Parties,
by their acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement hereby irrevocably
consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section
14.02 of the Indenture.  Nothing in
this Agreement or any other Note Document will affect the right of any party to
this Agreement or any other Secured Party to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.


 


SECTION 6.14             Termination
or Release.  (a) This
Agreement, the Security Interest, the pledge of the Pledged Collateral and all
other security interests granted hereby shall terminate on the Termination
Date.


 


(b)           A Guarantor shall automatically be released from its
obligations hereunder and the Security Interests created hereunder in the
Collateral of such Guarantor shall be automatically released upon the
consummation of any transaction permitted by the Indenture as a result of which
such Guarantor ceases to be a Guarantor under the Indenture.


 


(c)           Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any
Collateral that is permitted under the Indenture to any person that is not the
Borrower or a Grantor, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the
release of the Security Interest granted hereby in any Collateral in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture, the Security Interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released,


 


(d)           In connection with any termination or release pursuant to
paragraph (a), (b) or (c) above, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute
and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s sole expense, all Uniform
Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents that such Grantor
shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents
pursuant to this Section 6.14 shall be without recourse to or
representation or warranty by the Collateral Agent (other than any
representation and warranty that the Collateral Agent has the authority to
execute and deliver such documents) or 


 


H-22

















 


any Secured Party.  Without limiting the provisions of Section
6.05, the Borrower shall reimburse the Collateral Agent upon demand for all
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including the fees, charges and
expenses of counsel, incurred by it in connection with any action contemplated
by this Section 6.14.


 


(e)           At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the
Collateral Agent take any action described in preceding paragraph (d) above, it
shall, upon request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent an
officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral
is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c).  The Collateral Agent shall have no liability
whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by
it as permitted (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be
permitted) by this Section 6.14.


 


SECTION 6.15             FCC
Compliance.  (a) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement, instrument
or document executed in connection herewith, no party hereto shall take any
actions hereunder that would constitute or result in a transfer of control of
an entity holding any FCC License or an assignment of any FCC License requiring
the prior approval of the FCC without first obtaining such prior approval of the
FCC.  In addition, the parties
acknowledge that the voting rights of the Pledged Stock in such an entity shall
remain with the relevant Grantor thereof even upon the occurrence and during
the continuance of an Event of Default until the FCC shall have given its prior
consent to the exercise of voting rights by a purchaser at a public or private
sale of such Pledged Stock or the exercise of such rights by the Collateral
Agent or by a receiver, trustee, conservator or other agent duly appointed
pursuant to applicable law.


 


(b)           If an Event of Default shall have occurred and is
continuing, each Grantor shall take any action which the Collateral Agent may
reasonably request in the exercise of its rights and remedies under this
Agreement in order to effectuate any transfer of control of any Grantor or any
assignment of the Collateral to the Collateral Agent or to such one or more
third parties as the Collateral Agent may designate, or to a combination of the
foregoing.  To enforce the provision of
this Section 6.15, the Collateral Agent is empowered to seek from the
FCC and any other governmental authority, to the extent required by applicable
law or government regulation, consent to or approval of any voluntary or
involuntary transfer of control of any entity whose Collateral is subject to
this Agreement or any voluntary or involuntary assignment of the Collateral, in
each case for the purpose of seeking a bona fide purchaser of some or all of
the Collateral.  Each Grantor agrees to
cooperate with any such purchaser and with the Collateral Agent in the
preparation, execution and filing of any application and such other forms, and
in providing any information that may be necessary or useful in obtaining the
FCC’s consent to the transfer of control or assignment of the Collateral.  Each Grantor hereby irrevocably (x) consents
to any such voluntary or involuntary transfer of control or assignment after
and during the continuation of an Event of Default and, without limiting any
rights of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement, to the Collateral Agent’s
right to appoint a trustee or receiver to acquire or assume control of the
Collateral, subject only to required judicial, FCC or other consents required
by governmental authorities, in order to effectuate the transactions
contemplated by this Section 6.15 and (y) waives any right such Grantor
may have to object to the appointment of such trustee or receiver, such Grantor
acknowledging that the Collateral Agent’s uncontested right to have a trustee
or receiver appointed for the foregoing purposes is considered essential by 


 


H-23

















 


Holders in connection with the enforcement of
their rights and remedies hereunder and was a material factor in inducing
Holders to participate in the Exchange Offer and/or hold the Notes.  Such trustee or receiver shall have all the
rights and powers as provided to it by law or court order, or to the Collateral
Agent under this Agreement.  Each Grantor
shall cooperate fully in obtaining the consent of the FCC and the approval or
consent of each other governmental authority required to effectuate the
foregoing.


 


(c)           Without limiting the obligations of any Grantor hereunder
and the rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder in any respect, each Grantor
further agrees that if such Grantor, upon or after the occurrence (and during
the continuance) of an Event of Default, should fail or refuse for any reason
whatsoever, to sign (within five (5) Business Days of a request by Collateral
Agent) any application to the FCC or any other governmental authority which is
necessary or useful for the exercise of any remedy by Collateral Agent
hereunder, such Grantor agrees that such application may be executed on such
Grantor’s behalf by the clerk or other designee of any court of competent
jurisdiction without notice to such Grantor pursuant to court order.


 


SECTION 6.16             Additional
Parties.  Pursuant to Section
5.20 of the Indenture, each Guarantor that was not in existence or not a
Guarantor on the Closing Date is required to enter into this Agreement as a
Grantor within such periods set forth in the Indenture.  Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral
Agent and such Guarantor of a supplement in the form of Exhibit A
hereto, such Guarantor shall become a Grantor hereunder with the same force and
effect as if originally named as a Grantor herein.  The execution and delivery of any such
instrument shall not require the consent of the Borrower or any other Guarantor
hereunder.  The rights and obligations of
each Grantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding
the addition of any new Grantor as a party to this Agreement.


 


SECTION 6.17             Security
Interest and Obligations Absolute. 
Subject to Section 6.14 hereof, all rights of the Collateral
Agent hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the
Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be
absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or
enforceability of the Indenture, any other Note Document, any agreement with
respect to any of the Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating
to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment
of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other
amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Indenture, any
other Note Document, or any other agreement or instrument (so long as the same
are made in accordance with the terms of the Indenture), (c) any exchange,
release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or
amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee,
securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Obligations, (d) any bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation
or the like of any other Grantor, (e) any exercise, non-exercise or waiver of
any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof, the Indenture
or any other Note Document except as specifically set forth in a waiver,
forbearance, consent or amendment granted pursuant to the provisions of Section
6.08 hereof, or (f) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute
a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the
Obligations or this Agreement.

Exhibit A
to the


Collateral
Agreement


 


SUPPLEMENT
NO. [·] (this “Supplement”)
dated as of [·], to the
Collateral Agreement dated as of
[            ],
2009 (the “Collateral Agreement”), among FIBERTOWER CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), each subsidiary of the Borrower
from time to time party thereto (each such subsidiary of Borrower, a “Guarantor”
and collectively, the “Guarantors”; the Guarantors and the Borrower are
referred to collectively herein as the “Grantors”) and WELLS FARGO BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Collateral Agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral
Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined therein).


 


A.            Reference is made to the Indenture
dated as of
[            ],
2009 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among the Borrower,
certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower party thereto, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as trustee (in such capacity, the “Trustee”).


 


B.            Capitalized terms used herein and
not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Indenture or the Collateral Agreement, as applicable.


 


C.            The Grantors have entered into the
Collateral Agreement in order to induce the Holders to purchase Notes.  Section 6.16 of the Collateral
Agreement provides that certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the
Borrower may become Grantors under the Collateral Agreement by execution and
delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned subsidiary (the “New Party”)
is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the
Indenture to become a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement.


 


Accordingly,
the Collateral Agent and the New Party agree as follows:


 


SECTION 1.           In accordance with Section 6.16
of the Collateral Agreement, the New Party by its signature below becomes a
Grantor under the Collateral Agreement with the same force and effect as if
originally named therein as a Grantor and the New Party hereby (a) agrees
to all the terms and provisions of the Collateral Agreement applicable to it as
a Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that it has become a
Guarantor under the Indenture and that the representations and warranties made
by it as a Grantor under the Collateral Agreement are true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the date hereof (for this purpose, as though
references therein to the Closing Date were to the date hereof).  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New
Party, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Obligations
(as defined in the Collateral Agreement), does hereby create and grant to the
Collateral Agent, its successors and permitted assigns, for the benefit of the
Secured Parties, their successors and permitted assigns, a security interest in
and lien on all of the New Party’s right, title and interest in and to the
Collateral (as defined in the Collateral Agreement) of the New Party.  Each reference to a “Grantor” or a “Guarantor”
in the Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Party.  The Collateral Agreement is hereby
incorporated herein by reference.


 

















 


SECTION 2.           The New Party represents and warrants
to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal,
valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its
terms except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and by general equitable principles.


 


SECTION 3.           This Supplement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract.  This
Supplement shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received
counterparts of this Supplement that, when taken together, bear the signatures
of the New Party and the Collateral Agent. 
Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by
facsimile or electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a
manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.


 


SECTION 4.           The New Party hereby represents and warrants
that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and
correct schedule of (i) any and all Equity Interests and Pledged Debt
Securities now owned by the New Party, (ii) any and all United States
federal registrations and pending applications for Trademarks, Patents and
Copyrights now owned by the New Party, (iii) any and all Commercial Tort
Claims of such New Party, and (iv) any and all Instruments and Chattel
Paper held by such New Party meeting the thresholds required by Section 3.04
of the Collateral Agreement, and (b) set forth under its signature hereto,
is the true and correct legal name of the New Party and its jurisdiction of
organization.


 


SECTION 5.           Except as expressly supplemented
hereby, the Collateral Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.


 


SECTION 6.         THE
INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS
SUPPLEMENT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW
TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE
REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


SECTION 7.           In case any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and in the Collateral Agreement shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in
and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction).  The parties hereto shall
endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable
provisions.


 


SECTION 8.           All communications and notices
hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Collateral
Agreement) be in writing and given as provided in Section 14.02 of the
Indenture.  All communications and
notices hereunder to the New Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower
as provided in Section 14.02 of the Indenture.


 

















 


SECTION 9.           The New Party agrees to reimburse the
Collateral Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this
Supplement (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel), and to
indemnify it, in accordance with Section 6.05 of the Collateral Agreement.


 

















 


IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Party and the Collateral Agent have duly executed this
Supplement to the Collateral Agreement as of the day and year first above
written.

Exhibit I


 


FORM OF COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
(COPYRIGHTS)


 

















 


[FORM OF]


 


COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
(COPYRIGHTS) (NEW NOTES)


 


THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT (COPYRIGHTS) (NEW NOTES) (the “Assignment”),
dated as of
[                      ], 2009,
is made and given by [                              ], a
[                        ]
(the “Assignor”), to WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
collateral agent for the Holders of the Notes defined below (in such capacity,
the “Agent,” and the Agent together with its successors and assigns, the
“Assignee”).


 


THIS ASSIGNMENT, AND THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER, ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDED
AND RESTATED INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
[                                ],
2009, AMONG THE TRUSTEE AND THE OTHER CREDITORS PARTY THERETO FROM TIME TO
TIME, AND THE BORROWERS AND THE GUARANTORS, AS AMENDED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED
FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS THEREOF.


 


RECITALS


 


A.            Reference is made to
the Indenture dated as of
[              ],
2009 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among FiberTower
Corporation (the “Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower party
thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (in such
capacity, the “Trustee”), governing those certain 9.00% Senior Secured
Notes Due 20[    ] (the “Notes”).  Capitalized terms used in this Assignment and
not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.


 


B.            In connection with
the Indenture, each of the Borrower and the Guarantors is entering into the
Collateral Agreement, dated as of even date with the Indenture (the “Collateral
Agreement”), with the Agent.  To
secure all the Note Obligations of the Assignor to the Assignee, Trustee, and
the Holders arising under the Notes and the Indenture and each other Note
Document, whether now existing or hereafter arising, the Assignor has pledged
and granted to the Assignee a security interest in the property described in
the Collateral Agreement, which property includes general intangibles
including, without limitation, patents, inventions, trademarks, trade names,
copyrights, and trade secrets.  The
Assignor owns the copyright registrations set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto, and the copyrights so listed are registered or application has
been made for such registration as noted in Exhibit A in the United
States Copyright Office or applicable foreign copyright office.


 


C.            The Holders are
acquiring the Notes pursuant to the Mandatory Redemption and upon the terms and
conditions specified in the Indenture. 
The Indenture and the Collateral Agreement require, and the terms of the
Mandatory Redemption contemplate, among other things, the execution and
delivery of this Assignment by the Borrower and each Guarantor.  Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as
follows:


 


1.             The Assignor does
hereby collaterally (and, effective upon the giving of a notice by the
Assignee of the type described in the next sentence, absolutely) assign, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law, all of its right, title, and interest in and to all of
the present 


 

















 


United States and foreign copyrights, registered or
unregistered, now or hereafter acquired, by Assignor in and to all copyrightable
works, including, but not limited to, those copyright registrations identified
on Exhibit A, (the “Copyrights”), including but not limited
to those registered copyrights set forth on Exhibit A, and
including, without limitation, all proceeds thereof together with the right to
recover for past, present and future infringements, all rights corresponding
thereto throughout the world and all renewals and extensions thereof, said
Copyrights to be held and enjoyed by the Assignee, for its own use and behalf,
and for its legal representatives, successors and assigns, as fully and
entirely as the same would have been held by the Assignor had this Assignment
not been made.  Except to the
extent the foregoing assignment creates a collateral assignment (which
assignment is currently effective), the foregoing assignment shall be effective
only upon the written notice by the Assignee to the Assignor of the acceptance
by the Assignee of this Assignment that is given upon and occurrence and during
the continuation of an Event of Default under the Indenture, which written
notice shall constitute conclusive proof of the matters set forth therein;
unless and until the giving of such notice by the Agent, such assignment shall
have no effect.  Upon the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Assignee shall be
entitled to transfer the Copyrights pursuant to the Assignment of Copyrights
attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Assignee to complete (including
without limitation attaching an appropriate updated list of Copyrights as an
annex thereto) the undated Assignments of Copyrights at the time of transfer.


 


2.             The Assignor hereby
covenants and warrants that:


 


(a)           except
for applications pending, the Copyrights listed on Exhibit A have
been duly issued and are subsisting and, as of the date hereof, have not been
adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part;


 


(b)           as
of the date hereof or, if later, the date on which Exhibit A is
amended as described in Section 4 hereof (but only as to
Copyrights that are added to Exhibit A on such date), to the Assignor’s
knowledge, each of
the Copyrights listed on Exhibit A is valid and enforceable;


 


(c)           as
of the date hereof, no written claim has been made to the Assignor or, to the
knowledge of the Assignor, to any other person, that any of the Copyrights does
or may violate the rights of any third person and no claim has been made by the
Assignor that any other person is infringing upon the rights of the Assignor
under the Copyrights, in each case except to the extent that any such
claim does not relate to any Copyright that is material to the conduct of the
Assignor’s business;


 


(d)           after the date hereof, the Assignor will give prompt
written notice to the Assignee of any claim of the type described in the
preceding clause (c) (and notwithstanding whether such claim arose on,
prior to or after the date hereof);


 


(e)           the
Assignor has the unqualified right to enter into this Assignment and perform
its terms;


 


I-2

















 


(f)            the
Assignor will be, until the Note Obligations shall have been satisfied in full
and the Note Documents shall have been terminated, in material compliance with
statutory notice requirements, and will pay all renewal, maintenance and other
fees, relating to the Copyrights, that are material to the
conduct of the Assignor’s business;


 


(g)           except
for Permitted Liens, the Assignor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire
and unencumbered right, title, and interest in and to each of the Copyrights
listed on Exhibit A, free and clear of any liens, charges, and
encumbrances, including without limitation licenses and covenants by the
Assignor not to sue third persons;


 


(h)           as
of the date hereof or, if later, the date on which Exhibit A is
amended as described in Section 4 hereof, the Copyrights listed on Exhibit A
are all of the United States Copyrights and applications therefor now owned by
the Assignor; and


 


(i)            the
Assignor will, at any time upon reasonable request, communicate to the Assignee
and its successors and assigns, any facts relating to the Copyrights or the
history thereof as may be known to the Assignor or its officers, employees, and
agents, and cause such officers, employees, and agents with direct
knowledge of material relevant information to testify as to the same in any infringement or other
litigation at the reasonable request of the Assignee.


 


3.             The Assignor agrees
that, until the rights of the Assignee in the Copyrights are terminated
pursuant to Section 6, it will not enter into any agreement that is
in conflict with its obligations under this Assignment.


 


4.             If, before the Note
Obligations shall have been satisfied in full (other than contingent
indemnification obligations), the Assignor shall obtain any new copyright or
any enhancements or derivative works therefrom, such copyrights shall be
included in the definition of “Copyrights” as used in this Assignment, Section 1
hereof shall automatically apply thereto, and the Assignor shall give to the
Assignee prompt notice thereof in writing. 
The Assignor authorizes the Assignee to modify this Assignment by
amending Exhibit A to include any future copyright(s).


 


5.             The Assignor agrees
not to sell, assign, or encumber its interest in, or grant any license with
respect to, any of the Copyrights, except for the licenses listed on Exhibit C
attached hereto and except in the ordinary course of business and in accordance
with the terms of the Collateral Agreement and the Indenture.


 


6.             The Assignor agrees
that it will authorize, execute, and deliver to Assignee all documents
requested by Assignee to facilitate the purposes of this Assignment, including,
but not limited to, documents required to record Assignee’s interest in any
appropriate office in any domestic or foreign jurisdiction.  If the Assignee is required by the Collateral
Agreement to release its Lien in any or all of the Copyrights, the Assignee
shall upon request of the Assignor execute and deliver to the Assignor all
termination statements and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to
terminate this Assignment and assign to the Assignor all the Assignee’s rights
in the subject Copyrights.


 


I-3

















 


7.             Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Assignee shall have the right but shall
in no way be obligated to bring suit in its own name to enforce or to defend
the Copyrights or any license thereunder if the Assignor has failed to bring
such suit in circumstances in which a prudent person would have brought such
suit.  The Assignor shall at the  reasonable request of the Assignee do any and
all lawful acts and execute any and all proper documents required by the
Assignee in aid of such enforcement or defense (including without limitation
participation as a plaintiff or defendant in any proceeding), and, if Assignor
has failed to bring such suit in circumstances in which a prudent person would
have brought such suit, the Assignor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and
indemnify the Assignee for all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Assignee in the exercise of its
rights under this Section.


 


8.             This Assignment
shall also serve to evidence the security interest in the Copyrights granted by
the Assignor to the Assignee pursuant to the Collateral Agreement.


 


9.             No course of
dealing between the Assignor and the Assignee, failure to exercise, nor any
delay in exercising, on the part of the Assignee, with respect to any right,
power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right,
power, or privilege.


 


10.           All of the Assignee’s
rights and remedies with respect to the Copyrights, whether established hereby,
by any other agreements, or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently.


 


11.           This Assignment is
subject to modification only by a writing signed by the parties, except as
provided in Section 4 hereof.

Note Document), this Assignment shall terminate and all rights to the
Copyrights shall revert to the Assignor.


 


14.           The rights and remedies of the Assignee,
on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral Agreement),
under this Assignment shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any,

THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF (A) ANY STATE AS TO RIGHTS OR

[FORM OF]


 


COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
(PATENTS) (NEW NOTES)


 


THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT (PATENTS) (NEW NOTES) (the “Assignment”),
dated as of
[              ], 2009,
is made and given by
[                ],
a
[                ]
(the “Assignor”), to WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
collateral agent for the Holders of the Notes defined below (in such capacity,
the “Agent,” and the Agent together with its successors and assigns, the
“Assignee”).


 


THIS ASSIGNMENT, AND THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER, ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDED
AND RESTATED INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
[                                ],
2009, AMONG THE TRUSTEE AND THE OTHER CREDITORS PARTY THERETO FROM TIME TO
TIME, AND THE BORROWERS AND THE GUARANTORS, AS AMENDED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED
FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS THEREOF.


 


RECITALS


 


A.            Reference is made to
the Indenture dated as of
[              ],
2009 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among FiberTower
Corporation (the “Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower party
thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (in such capacity,
the “Trustee”), governing those certain 9.00% Senior Secured Notes Due
20[    ] (the “Notes”).  Capitalized terms used in this Assignment and
not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.


 


B.            In connection with
the Indenture, each of the Borrower and the Guarantors is entering into the
Collateral Agreement, dated as of even date with the Indenture (the “Collateral
Agreement”), with the Agent.  To
secure all the Note Obligations of the Assignor to the Assignee, Trustee, and the
Holders arising under the Notes and the Indenture and each other Note Document,
whether now existing or hereafter arising, the Assignor has pledged and granted
to the Assignee a security interest in the property described in the Collateral
Agreement, which property includes general intangibles including, without
limitation, patents, inventions, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, and trade
secrets.  The Assignor owns the patents
registrations set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, and the
patents so listed are registered or application has been made for such
registration as noted in Exhibit A in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office or applicable foreign patent office.


 


C.            The Holders are
acquiring the Notes pursuant to the Mandatory Redemption and upon the terms and
conditions specified in the Indenture. 
The Indenture and the Collateral Agreement require, and the terms of the
Mandatory Redemption contemplate, among other things, the execution and delivery
of this Assignment by the Borrower and each Guarantor.  Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as
follows:


 


1.             The Assignor does
hereby collaterally (and, effective upon the giving of a notice by the Assignee
of the type described in the next sentence, absolutely) assign, to the extent
not prohibited by applicable law, all of its right, title, and interest in and
to all of the present 


 

















 


United States and foreign patents and the registrations and
applications therefor owned by the Assignor together with inventions disclosed
therein (the “Patents”), including but not limited to those registered
patents set forth on Exhibit A, and including, without limitation,
all proceeds thereof together with the right to recover for past, present, and
future infringements, all rights corresponding thereto throughout the world,
and all renewals and extensions thereof, said Patents to be held and enjoyed by
the Assignee, for its own use and behalf, and for its legal representatives,
successors, and assigns, as fully and entirely as the same would have been held
by the Assignor had this Assignment not been made.  Except to the extent the foregoing assignment
creates a collateral assignment (which assignment is currently effective), the
foregoing assignment shall be effective only upon the written notice by the Assignee
to the Assignor of the acceptance by the Assignee of this Assignment that is
given upon and occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
under the Indenture, which written notice shall constitute conclusive proof of
the matters set forth therein; unless and until the giving of such notice by
the Agent, such assignment shall have no effect.  Upon the occurrence and continuation of an
Event of Default under the Indenture, the Assignee shall be entitled to
transfer the Patents pursuant to the Assignment of Patents attached hereto as Exhibit B.  Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Assignee to complete (including without limitation attaching an appropriate
updated list of Patents as an annex thereto) the undated Assignments of Patents
at the time of transfer.


 


2.             The Assignor hereby
covenants and warrants that:


 


(a)           except
for applications pending, the Patents listed on Exhibit A have been
duly issued and are subsisting and, as of the date hereof, have not been
adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part;


 


(b)           as
of the date hereof or, if later, the date on which Exhibit A is
amended as described in Section 4 hereof (but only as to Patents
that are added to Exhibit A on such date), to the Assignor’s
knowledge, each of the Patents listed on Exhibit A is valid and
enforceable;


 


(c)           as
of the date hereof, no written claim has been made to the Assignor or, to the
knowledge of the Assignor, to any other person, that any of the Patents or use
of the inventions described therein does or may violate the rights of any third
person and no claim has been made by the Assignor that any other person is
infringing upon the rights of the Assignor under the Patents, in each case
except to the extent that any such claim does not relate to any Patent that is
material to the conduct of the Assignor’s business;


 


(d)           after
the date hereof, the Assignor will give prompt written notice to the Assignee
of any claim of the type described in the preceding clause (c) (and
notwithstanding whether such claim arose on, prior to or after the date
hereof);


 


(e)           the
Assignor has the unqualified right to enter into this Assignment and perform
its terms;


 


(f)            the
Assignor will be, until the Note Obligations shall have been satisfied in full
and the Note Documents shall have been terminated, in material compliance with 


 


J-2

















 


statutory notice
requirements, and will pay all renewal, maintenance and other fees, relating to
the Patents that are material to the conduct of the Assignor’s business;


 


(g)           except
for Permitted Liens, the Assignor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire
and unencumbered right, title, and interest in and to each of the Patents
listed on Exhibit A, free and clear of any liens, charges, and encumbrances,
including without limitation licenses and covenants by the Assignor not to sue
third persons;


 


(h)           as
of the date hereof or, if later, the date on which Exhibit A is
amended as described in Section 4 hereof, the Patents listed on Exhibit A
are all of the United States and foreign Patents and applications therefor now
owned by the Assignor; and


 


(i)            the
Assignor will, at any time upon reasonable 
request, communicate to the Assignee and its successors and assigns any
facts relating to the Patents or the history thereof that may be known to the
Assignor or its officers, employees, and agents, and cause such officers,
employees, and agents with direct knowledge of material relevant information to
testify as to the same in any infringement or other litigation at the
reasonable  request of the Assignee.


 


3.             The Assignor agrees
that, until the rights of the Assignee in the Patents are terminated pursuant
to Section 6, it will not enter into any agreement that is in
conflict with its obligations under this Assignment.


 


4.             If, before the Note
Obligations shall have been satisfied in full (other than contingent
indemnification obligations), the Assignor shall obtain rights to any new
patent, or become entitled to the benefit of any patent application or registration
or any renewal or extension of any patent registration, such shall be included
in the definition of “Patents” as used in this Assignment, Section 1
hereof shall automatically apply thereto, and the Assignor shall give to the
Assignee prompt notice thereof in writing. 
The Assignor authorizes the Assignee to modify this Assignment by
amending Exhibit A to include any future patent(s).


 


5.             The Assignor agrees
not to sell, assign, or encumber its interest in, or grant any license with
respect to, any of the Patents, except for the licenses listed on Exhibit C
attached hereto and except in the ordinary course of business and in accordance
with the terms of the Collateral Agreement and the Indenture.


 


6.             The Assignor agrees
that it will authorize, execute, and deliver to Assignee all documents
requested by Assignee to facilitate the purposes of this Assignment, including,
but not limited to, documents required to record Assignee’s interest in any
appropriate office in any domestic or foreign jurisdiction.  If the Assignee is required by the Collateral
Agreement to release its Lien in any or all of the Patents, the Assignee shall
upon request of the Assignor execute and deliver to the Assignor all
termination statements and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to
terminate this Assignment and assign to the Assignor all the Assignee’s rights
in the subject Patents.


 


7.             The Assignor
shall (a) prosecute diligently any pending Patent application as of
the date of this Assignment or thereafter until the Indenture and the Note
Documents shall have been terminated in accordance with their terms, (b) make
application on those patentable 


 


J-3

















 


inventions, products, and processes that are unregistered but capable
of being registered and that a prudent person would reasonably cause to be
registered, and (c) preserve and maintain all rights in all Patents
that a prudent person would reasonably preserve and maintain, provided that
Assignor shall not be obligated to perform any of clauses (a), (b),
or (c) above in the event that Assignor determines, in the reasonable
business judgment of Assignor, that the same is not material to the business of
Assignor.  Any expenses incurred in
connection with applications that constitute Patents shall be borne by the
Assignor.  The Assignor shall not abandon
any material application presently pending that constitutes a Patent without
the written consent of the Assignee.


 


8.             Upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Assignee shall have the
right but shall in no way be obligated to bring suit in its own name to enforce
or to defend the Patents or any license thereunder if the Assignor has failed
to bring such suit in circumstances in which a prudent person would have
brought such suit.  The Assignor shall at
the reasonable request of the Assignee do any and all lawful acts and execute
any and all proper documents required by the Assignee in aid of such enforcement
or defense (including, without limitation, participation as a plaintiff or
defendant in any proceeding) and, if Assignor has failed to bring such suit in
circumstances in which a prudent person would have brought such suit, the
Assignor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Assignee for
all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by the Assignee in the exercise of its rights under this Section.


 


9.             This Assignment
shall also serve to evidence the security interest in the Patents granted by
the Assignor to the Assignee pursuant to the Collateral Agreement.


 


10.           No course of dealing
between the Assignor and the Assignee, failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Assignee, with respect to any right, power, or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or
privilege.


 


11.           All of the Assignee’s
rights and remedies with respect to the Patents, whether established hereby, by
any other agreements, or by law shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently.


 


12.           This Assignment is
subject to modification only by a writing signed by the parties, except as
provided in Section 4 hereof.


 


13.           This Assignment
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the parties.


 


14.           Upon payment in full of all Note
Obligations (other than Assignor’s unmatured indemnity obligations under any
Note Document), this Assignment shall terminate and all rights to the Patents
shall revert to the Assignor.


 


15.           The rights and remedies of the
Assignee, on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral
Agreement), under this Assignment shall be subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, if any, in effect from time to time. 
In the event of any conflict between 


 


J-4

















 


the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Assignment, the terms
of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.


 


16.           THIS ASSIGNMENT AND
THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF (A) THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA AS TO RIGHTS AND INTERESTS HEREUNDER THAT ARE REGISTERED OR FOR THE
REGISTRATION OF WHICH APPLICATION IS PENDING WITH THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND
TRADEMARK OFFICE AND (B) THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ALL OTHER
RESPECTS.  WHENEVER POSSIBLE, EACH
PROVISION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ANY OTHER STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR RELATING HERETO SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH
MANNER AS TO BE EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION
OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR RELATING HERETO SHALL BE HELD TO BE PROHIBITED OR
INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE ONLY TO THE
EXTENT OF SUCH PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF
SUCH PROVISION OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER
STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR RELATING HERETO.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT WITHIN, BETWEEN,
OR AMONG THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT, ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, OR ANY
OTHER STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR
RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, THOSE PROVISIONS GIVING THE ASSIGNEE THE GREATER
RIGHT SHALL GOVERN.

[FORM OF]


 


COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT
(TRADEMARKS) (NEW NOTES)


 


THIS COLLATERAL ASSIGNMENT (TRADEMARKS) (NEW NOTES) (the “Assignment”),
dated as of
[              ],
2009, is made and given by [                        ], a
[                        ]
(the “Assignor”), to WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as
collateral agent for the Holders of the Notes defined below (in such capacity,
the “Agent,” and the Agent together with its successors and assigns, the
“Assignee”).


 


THIS ASSIGNMENT, AND THE
RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER, ARE SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THE AMENDED
AND RESTATED INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF
[                                ],
2009, AMONG THE TRUSTEE AND THE OTHER CREDITORS PARTY THERETO FROM TIME TO
TIME, AND THE BORROWERS AND THE GUARANTORS, AS AMENDED OR OTHERWISE MODIFIED
FROM TIME TO TIME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS THEREOF.


 


RECITALS


 


A.            Reference is made to
the Indenture dated as of
[              ],
2009 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), among FiberTower
Corporation (the “Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower party
thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (in such
capacity, the “Trustee”), governing those certain 9.00% Senior Secured
Notes Due 20[    ] (the “Notes”).  Capitalized terms used in this Assignment and
not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.


 


B.            In connection with
the Indenture, each of the Borrower and the Guarantors is entering into the
Collateral Agreement, dated as of even date with the Indenture (the “Collateral
Agreement”), with the Agent.  To
secure all the Note Obligations of the Assignor to the Assignee, Trustee, and
the Holders arising under the Notes and the Indenture and each other Note
Document, whether now existing or hereafter arising, the Assignor has pledged
and granted to the Assignee a security interest in the property described in the
Collateral Agreement, which property includes general intangibles including,
without limitation, patents, inventions, trademarks, trade names, copyrights,
and trade secrets.  The Assignor owns the
trademark and trade name registrations set forth in Exhibit A
attached hereto, and the trademarks and trade names so listed are registered or
application has been made for such registration as noted in Exhibit A
in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or applicable foreign
trademark office.


 


C.            The Holders are
acquiring the Notes pursuant to the Mandatory Redemption and upon the terms and
conditions specified in the Indenture. 
The Indenture and the Collateral Agreement require, and the terms of the
Mandatory Redemption contemplate, among other things, the execution and
delivery of this Assignment by the Borrower and each Guarantor.  Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as
follows:


 

















 


1.             The Assignor does
hereby collaterally (and, effective upon the giving of a notice by the
Assignee of the type described in the next sentence, absolutely) assign, to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law, all of its right, title, and interest in and to all of
the present United States and foreign trademarks and trade names and the
registrations and applications (except for intent to use applications) therefor
owned by the Assignor (the “Trademarks”), including but not limited to
those registered trademarks and tradenames set forth on Exhibit A,
and including, without limitation, any and all common law rights in Trademarks
owned by the Assignor, all proceeds thereof together with the right to recover
for past, present, and future infringements, all rights corresponding thereto
throughout the world, and all renewals and extensions thereof, together with
the goodwill of the business associated with said Trademarks, said Trademarks
to be held and enjoyed by the Assignee for its own use and behalf, and for its
legal representatives, successors, and assigns, as fully and entirely as the
same would have been held by the Assignor had this Assignment not been
made.  Except to the extent the
foregoing assignment creates a collateral assignment (which assignment is
currently effective), the foregoing assignment shall be effective only upon the
written notice by the Assignee to the Assignor of the acceptance by the
Assignee of this Assignment that is given upon and occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default under the Indenture, which written notice
shall constitute conclusive proof of the matters set forth therein; unless and
until the giving of such notice by the Agent, such assignment shall have no
effect.  Upon the occurrence and
continuation of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the Assignee shall be
entitled to transfer the Trademarks pursuant to the Assignment of Trademarks
attached hereto as Exhibit B. 
Assignor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Assignee to complete
(including without limitation attaching an appropriate updated list of
Trademarks as an annex thereto) the undated Assignments of Trademarks at the
time of transfer.


 


2.             The Assignor hereby
covenants and warrants that:


 


(a)           except
for applications pending (and intent to use applications), the Trademarks
listed on Exhibit A have been duly issued and are subsisting and,
as of the date hereof, have not been adjudged invalid or unenforceable in whole
or in part;


 


(b)           as
of the date hereof or, if later, the date on which Exhibit A is
amended as described in Section 4 hereof (but only as to
Trademarks that are added to Exhibit A on such date), to the
Assignor’s knowledge,
each of the Trademarks listed on Exhibit A is valid and
enforceable;


 


(c)           as
of the date hereof, no written claim has been made to the Assignor or, to the
knowledge of the Assignor, to any other person, that use of any of the Trademarks
does or may violate the rights of any third person and no claim has been made
by the Assignor that any other person is infringing upon the rights of the
Assignor under the Trademarks, in each case except to the extent that any
such claim does not relate to any Trademark that is material to the conduct of
the Assignor’s business;


 


(d)           after the date
hereof, the Assignor will give prompt written notice to the Assignee of any
claim of the type described in the preceding clause (c) (and
notwithstanding whether such claim arose on, prior to or after the date
hereof);


 


K-2

















 


(e)           the
Assignor has the unqualified right to enter into this Assignment and perform
its terms;


 


(f)            the
Assignor will be, until the Note Obligations shall have been satisfied in full
and the Note Documents shall have been terminated, in material compliance with
statutory notice requirements, and will pay all renewal, maintenance and other
fees, relating to its use of the Trademarks that are material to the conduct of
the Assignor’s business;


 


(g)           except
for Permitted Liens, the Assignor is the sole and exclusive owner of the entire
and unencumbered right, title, and interest in and to each of the Trademarks
listed on Exhibit A, free and clear of any liens, charges, and
encumbrances, including without limitation licenses and covenants by the
Assignor not to sue third persons;


 


(h)           as
of the date hereof or, if later, the date on which Exhibit A is
amended as described in Section 4 hereof, the Trademarks listed on Exhibit A
are all of the United States and foreign Trademarks and applications therefor
now owned by the Assignor;


 


(i)            the
Assignor will, at any time upon reasonable request, communicate to the Assignee
and its successors and assigns any facts relating to the Trademarks or the
history thereof as may be known to the Assignor or its officers, employees, and
agents, and cause such officers, employees, and agents with direct
knowledge of material relevant information to testify as to the same in any
infringement or other litigation at the reasonable request of the Assignee; and


 


(j)            the
Assignor will not, with respect to any Trademarks which are material to the
conduct of the Assignor’s business, cease to use any such Trademarks or fail to maintain
such level of quality or products sold and services rendered under any of such
Trademark at a level at least substantially consistent with the quality of the
products and services as of the date hereof, and Assignor shall take all steps
necessary to ensure that licensees of such Trademark use such consistent
standards of quality.


 


3.             The Assignor agrees
that, until the rights of the Assignee in the Trademarks are terminated
pursuant to Section 6, it will not enter into any agreement that is
in conflict with its obligations under this Assignment.


 


4.             If, before the Note
Obligations shall have been satisfied in full (other than contingent
indemnification obligations), the Assignor shall obtain rights to any new
trademark or trade name, or become entitled to the benefit of any trademark
application (except for intent to use applications), registration, trademark,
or trade name or any renewal or extension of any trademark registration, such
shall be included in the definition of “Trademarks” as used in this Assignment,
Section 1 hereof shall automatically apply thereto, and the
Assignor shall give to the Assignee prompt notice thereof in writing.  The Assignor authorizes the Assignee to
modify this Assignment by amending Exhibit A to include any future
trademark or trade name.


 


5.             The Assignor agrees
not to sell, assign, or encumber its interest in, or grant any license with
respect to, any of the Trademarks, except for the licenses listed on Exhibit C



 


K-3

















 


attached hereto and except in the ordinary course of business and in
accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agreement and the Indenture.


 


6.             The Assignor agrees
that it will authorize, execute, and deliver to Assignee all documents
requested by Assignee to facilitate the purposes of this Assignment, including,
but not limited to, documents required to record Assignee’s interest in any
appropriate office in any domestic or foreign jurisdiction.  If the Assignee is required by the Collateral
Agreement to release its Lien in any or all of the Trademarks, the Assignee
shall upon request of the Assignor execute and deliver to the Assignor all
termination statements and other instruments as may be necessary or proper to
terminate this Assignment and assign to the Assignor all the Assignee’s rights
in the subject Trademarks.


 


7.             The Assignor shall (a) prosecute
diligently any pending Trademark application as of the date of this Assignment
or thereafter until the Indenture and the Note Documents shall have been
terminated in accordance with their terms, (b) make application on those
trademarks and trade names that are unregistered but capable of being
registered and that a prudent person would reasonably cause to be registered,
and (c) preserve and maintain all rights in all Trademarks that a prudent
person would reasonably preserve and maintain, provided that Assignor shall not
be obligated to perform any of clauses (a), (b), or (c) above in the event
that Assignor determines, in the reasonable business judgment of Assignor, that
the same is not material to the business of Assignor.  Any expenses incurred in connection with
applications that constitute Trademarks shall be borne by the Assignor.  The Assignor shall not abandon any material
application presently pending that constitutes a Trademark without the written
consent of the Assignee.


 


8.             Upon the
occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Assignee shall have the right but shall
in no way be obligated to bring suit in its own name to enforce or to defend
the Trademarks or any license thereunder if the Assignor has failed to bring
such suit in circumstances in which a prudent person would have brought such
suit.  The Assignor shall at the reasonable
request of the Assignee do any and all lawful acts and execute any and all
proper documents required by the Assignee in aid of such enforcement or defense
(including, without limitation, participation as a plaintiff or defendant in
any proceeding), and, if Assignor has failed to bring such suit in
circumstances in which a prudent person would have brought such suit, the
Assignor shall promptly, upon demand, reimburse and indemnify the Assignee for
all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel)
incurred by the Assignee in the exercise of its rights under this Section.


 


9.             This Assignment
shall also serve to evidence the security interest in the Trademarks granted by
the Assignor to the Assignee pursuant to the Collateral Agreement.


 


10.           No course of dealing
between the Assignor and the Assignee, failure to exercise, nor any delay in
exercising, on the part of the Assignee, with respect to any right, power, or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other
or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or
privilege.


 


K-4

















 


11.           All of the Assignee’s
rights and remedies with respect to the Trademarks, whether established hereby,
by any other agreements, or by law, shall be cumulative and may be exercised
singularly or concurrently.


 


12.           This Assignment is
subject to modification only by a writing signed by the parties, except as
provided in Section 4 hereof.


 


13.           This Assignment
shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and
permitted assigns of the parties.


 


14.           Upon payment in full of all Note
Obligations (other than Assignor’s unmatured indemnity obligations under any
Note Document), this Assignment shall terminate and all rights to the
Trademarks shall revert to the Assignor.


 


15.           The rights and remedies of the
Assignee, on behalf of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Collateral
Agreement), under this Assignment shall be subject to the Intercreditor
Agreement, if any, in effect from time to time. 
In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor
Agreement and this Assignment, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall
govern and control.


 


16.           THIS ASSIGNMENT AND
THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF (A) THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
AS TO RIGHTS AND INTERESTS HEREUNDER THAT ARE REGISTERED OR FOR THE
REGISTRATION OF WHICH APPLICATION IS PENDING WITH THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND
TRADEMARK OFFICE AND (B) THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ALL OTHER RESPECTS.  WHENEVER POSSIBLE, EACH PROVISION OF THIS
ASSIGNMENT AND ANY OTHER STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR RELATING HERETO SHALL BE INTERPRETED IN SUCH MANNER AS TO BE
EFFECTIVE AND VALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, BUT IF ANY PROVISION OF THIS
ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY OR RELATING HERETO SHALL BE HELD TO BE PROHIBITED OR INVALID UNDER
APPLICABLE LAW, SUCH PROVISION SHALL BE INEFFECTIVE ONLY TO THE EXTENT OF SUCH
PROHIBITION OR INVALIDITY, WITHOUT INVALIDATING THE REMAINDER OF SUCH PROVISION
OR THE REMAINING PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT OR ANY OTHER STATEMENT,
INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR RELATING HERETO.  IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT WITHIN, BETWEEN,
OR AMONG THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ASSIGNMENT, ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, OR ANY
OTHER STATEMENT, INSTRUMENT, OR TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY OR
RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, THOSE PROVISIONS GIVING THE ASSIGNEE THE GREATER
RIGHT SHALL GOVERN.
