Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. In case by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.

ARTICLE THREE THE SECURITIES SECTION 301. TITLE AND TERMS. The aggregate principal amount at maturity of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to up to $256,800,000, except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 304, 305, 306, 801, 906, 1016, 1017 or 1108. 36 The Initial Securities shall be known and designated as the "14 1/2% Senior Discount Notes due 2009" of the Company. The Exchange Securities shall be known and designated as the "14 1/2% Exchange Senior Discount Notes due 2009" of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities shall be February 1, 2009 and, except as otherwise set forth herein, they shall bear interest at the rate of 14 1/2% per annum from February 1, 2004, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, payable on August 1, 2004 and semi-annually thereafter on February 1 and August 1 in each year and at said Stated Maturity, until the principal thereof is paid or duly provided for. Except in the case of a Registration Default (as defined in the form of Securities), the principal of the Securities shall not accrue interest until February 1, 2004, except in the case of a default in payment of the amount due at Maturity, in which case the amount due on the Securities shall bear interest at a rate of 17 1/2% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which shall accrue from the date of such default to the date the payment of such amount has been made or duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal amount shall be payable on demand. The Securities are issued at a discount to their aggregate principal amount at maturity and will generate gross proceeds to the Company of $100,003,056 (and net proceeds of $96,752,957). Original issue discount will accrete from the Issue Date (January 27, 1999) until February 1, 2004. Based on the issue price thereof, the yield on the Securities is 17 1/2% (computed on a semiannual bond equivalent basis) calculated from January 27, 1999. The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose in The City of New York, or at such other office or agency of the Company as may be maintained for such purpose; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, at the option of the Company, interest may be paid by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security Register. The Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article Eleven. SECTION 302. DENOMINATIONS. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount at maturity and any integral multiple thereof. SECTION 303. EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any of its Chairman, its President or a Vice President, the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief 37 Financial Officer, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. In case the Company, pursuant to Article Eight, shall be consolidated or merged with or into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid, shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of the 38 Holders but without expense to them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name. SECTION 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. SECTION 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times, the Security Register shall be open to inspection by the Trustee. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as security registrar (the "Security Registrar") for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations of a like aggregate principal amount. 39 At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount at maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange (including an exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities), the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive PROVIDED that no exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities shall occur until an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission and that the Initial Securities to be exchanged for the Exchange Securities shall be cancelled by the Trustee. All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 801, 906, 1016, 1017 or 1108 not involving any transfer. The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the selection of Securities to be redeemed under Section 1104 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a beneficial owner of any Security. (b) Transfers of a Global Security shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees and, in part, in the circumstances described in paragraph (d) hereof. Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary and the provisions of Section 307. Beneficial owners may obtain Physical Securities (which shall bear the Private Placement Legend if required by Section 202) in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security upon request in accordance with the Depositary's and the Security Registrar's procedures at any time. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Security if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Global Security or the Depositary ceases to be a "Clearing Agency" registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and Holders of more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding represented by the Global Securities advise the Trustee through the Depositary in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary with respect to the Global Securities is no longer required. (c) In connection with any transfer pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section of a portion of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to beneficial owners, upon receipt of written instructions from the Depositary, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date and a decrease in the principal amount at maturity of the Global Security in an amount equal to the principal amount at maturity of the beneficial interest in the Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like tenor and amount. (d) In connection with the transfer of the entire Global Security to beneficial owners pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section, the Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and 41 the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in the Global Security an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity of Physical Securities of authorized denominations. (e) Any Physical Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Security pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall, except as otherwise provided by paragraph (a)(i)(x) or paragraph (e) of Section 307, bear the legend regarding transfer restrictions applicable to the Physical Security set forth in Section 202. (f) The registered holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities. (g) In connection with the execution, authentication and delivery of Physical Securities in exchange for beneficial interests in a Global Security pursuant to Section 306(b), the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records a decrease in the principal amount at maturity of the relevant Global Security equal to the principal amount at maturity of such Physical Securities and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Securities having an equal aggregate principal amount at maturity.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security. Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such defaulted interest and (to the extent lawful) interest on such defaulted interest at the rate borne by the Securities (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called "Defaulted Interest") may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below: (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date, and in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given in the manner provided for in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2). (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed 47 payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. SECTION 310. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to the due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 309) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures and certification of their disposal delivered to the Company unless by Company Order the Company shall direct that cancelled Securities be returned to it. SECTION 312. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 48 SECTION 313. FORM OF RULE 144A CERTIFICATE.

If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(8) or 501(9) occurs and is continuing, then the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all of the Outstanding Securities shall IPSO FACTO become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of either the Trustee or any Holder. At any time after a declaration of acceleration hereunder, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind such declaration and its consequences if (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay, (A) all overdue interest on all Outstanding Securities, (B) all unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any Outstanding Securities that have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at the rate borne by such Securities, (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest and overdue principal at the rate borne by such Securities, and (D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and (2) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of amounts of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE. The Company covenants that if 53 (a) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, and interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installment of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities, and, in addition thereto, 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. If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. SECTION 504. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 54 (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents and take such other actions, including participating as a member of any official creditors committee appointed in the matter as it may deem 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 of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official 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 the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606. 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. SECTION 506. APPLICATION OF MONEY COLLECTED. 55 Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 606; SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto. SECTION 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless (1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority or more in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; 56 it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment, as provided herein and in such Security of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 309) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 509. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. SECTION 510. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 308, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. SECTION 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER. 57 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount at maturity of the Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, PROVIDED that (1) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and (3) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders not consenting. SECTION 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Outstanding Securities may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, waive any past defaults hereunder, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any such Security, or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security. 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 58 SECTION 514. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

As security for the performance of such obligations of the Company, the Trustee shall have a claim prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular Securities.

SECTION 608. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or 64 consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. In case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee. In all such cases such certificates shall have the full force and effect which this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee shall have; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule l4e-l under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable securities laws and regulations in connection with a Change of Control Offer. The Company will not enter into any agreement that would prohibit the Company from making a Change of Control Offer to purchase the Securities or, if such Change of Control Offer is made, to pay for the Securities tendered for purchase. SECTION 1017. LIMITATION ON SALE OF ASSETS. (a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any Asset Sale unless (i) the consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such Asset Sale is not less than the Fair Market Value of the shares or assets sold (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution) and (ii) the 82 consideration received by the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Asset Sale consists of at least 75% cash or Cash Equivalents. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may consummate an Asset Sale without complying with clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence if at least 75% of the consideration for such Asset Sale consists of any combination of cash, Cash Equivalents and those items described in clause (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) below. (b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset Sale, the Company may use the Net Cash Proceeds thereof, within 12 months after the later of such Asset Sale or the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, (i) to permanently repay or prepay any then outstanding Senior Bank Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, any then outstanding Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary or any other then outstanding unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company, (ii) to invest in any one or more businesses (including, without limitation, in the Capital Stock of any Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such investment or that is received in connection with a Permitted Investment made under clause (g), (h) or (i) of the definition thereof), make capital expenditures (including lease payments for one or more capital assets) or invest in other tangible assets of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, in each case, engaged, used or useful in the Cable/Telecommunications Business, the DTH Business or the Entertainment/Programming Business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (or enter into a legally binding agreement to do so within six months of the date on which such agreement is executed) or (iii) to invest in properties or assets that replace the properties and assets that are the subject to such Asset Sale (or enter into a legally binding agreement to do so within six months of the date on which such agreement is executed). If any such legally binding agreement to invest such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, then the Company may, within 90 days of such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is later, apply or invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (ii) or (iii) (without regard to the parenthetical contained in clauses (ii) or (iii)) above. The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this paragraph (b) constitutes "Excess Proceeds." (c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $15 million the Company shall, within 30 business days, make an offer to purchase (an "Excess Proceeds Offer") from all holders of Securities, on a PRO RATA basis (together with and including any Series C Notes that may be outstanding pursuant to the Series C Indenture), in accordance with the procedures set forth below, the maximum Accreted Value of Securities that may be purchased with the Excess Proceeds less the amount of Excess Proceeds, if any, required to be applied under the PCI Indenture for the repurchase of PCI Notes and applied under the Old Indenture and the Series C Indenture for the repurchase of the Old Notes and Series C Notes, respectively. The offer price shall be payable in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the Accreted Value of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any (the "Offered Price"), to the date such Excess Proceeds Offer is consummated (the "Offer Date"). To the extent that the aggregate Accreted Value of Securities tendered 83 pursuant to an Excess Proceeds Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds relating thereto, the Company may use such additional Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. If the Accreted Value of Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, Securities to be purchased will be selected on a PRO RATA basis (together with and including the Series C Notes that may be outstanding pursuant to the Series C Indenture). Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero. (d) If the Company becomes obligated to make an Offer pursuant to clause (c) above, the Securities shall be purchased by the Company, at the option of the holder thereof, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000 on a date that is not earlier than 30 days and not later than 60 days from the date the notice is given to holders, or such later date as may be necessary for the Company to comply with the requirements under the Exchange Act, subject to proration in the event the amount of Excess Proceeds is less than the aggregate Offered Price of all Securities tendered. (e) The Company will comply with the applicable tender offer rules, including Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, in connection with an Excess Proceeds Offer. SECTION 1018. LIMITATION ON DIVIDENDS AND OTHER PAYMENT RESTRICTIONS AFFECTING RESTRICTED SUBSIDIARIES.

For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities, the Company 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 501(4), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
