    This
Senior Subordinated Note (this “Note”) has been

    1.   Payments of Interest and
Principal.

     

    (a) Accrued
and unpaid Interest shall be payable in kind annually in arrears on each
anniversary of the Issuance Date by adding the amount of such Interest due to
the then outstanding Principal Amount (such capitalized interest, a “PIK Interest Amount”)
until the entire Principal Amount outstanding shall be paid in full (whether
upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise).  Interest shall be
calculated on the Principal Amount outstanding as of each interest payment date
and on the basis of a 365 day year for the actual number of days
elapsed.

other amounts which are then owing by the Company to the Holder under this Note,

    (c) This Note

partial prepayment shall be applied first to accrued but unpaid Interest and
then to Principal Amount.

     

    (d) All cash
payments under this Note shall be made in lawful money of the United States and
in immediately available funds by wire transfer pursuant to instructions
provided by the Holder in writing from time to time to the

unpaid Interest and then to Principal Amount.  All payments of
Principal Amount shall be accompanied by accrued and unpaid Interest
thereon.  All payments of Principal Amount and Interest shall be due
on or before 2:00 p.m., New York City time and if received later will be deemed
to have been received on the next calendar day.  If a payment of
Principal Amount or Interest is due on a day that is not a Business Day, such
due date shall be deemed to be extended to the next Business Day, but Interest
shall accrue until such payment is made.

     

    2.   Covenants.  So
long as this Note is outstanding:

     

    (a) Operating

(iii) pari passu with the Initial Note and any other Additional
Notes.  The Principal Amount, Interest and all other obligations under
this Note shall be subordinated to any Permitted Senior Indebtedness as set
forth in Section 4 below.  This Note is (i) Permitted Senior
Indebtedness under and as defined in the 2009 Notes and (ii) Senior Debt as

licenses and franchises of the Company and such Subsidiary; provided, however, that
Subsidiaries of the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right,
license or franchise if its Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of
the such Subsidiary and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holder.

     

    (f) Compliance with Laws, etc.  The
Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply (i) in all
material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders and
(ii) with all indentures, or loan or credit agreements or any other agreement,
lease or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or its properties may
be bound or affected, except, in each case, where the failure to so comply would
not have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (g) Indebtedness.  The
Company will not and will cause its Subsidiaries not to create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any Indebtedness except Permitted Indebtedness.

Warranties.  The Company represents and warrants to the Holder
that each of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in the

Holder hereby agrees in the event of any payment or distribution of assets of
the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property, or securities
in any Insolvency Proceeding:  (i) the Permitted Senior Indebtedness
shall first be paid in full before any payment is made in respect of this Note;

entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, or other
liquidating lender making such payment or distribution directly to holders of
the Permitted Senior Indebtedness for application to the payment of the
Permitted Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the terms thereof, giving

Senior Permitted Indebtedness.
