CAPITAL STOCK

        Section 1.    Authorized Stock.    

        (a)   The total number of shares of all stock which the Corporation has authority to issue is 550,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 500,000,000 shares of common stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), and (ii) 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), issuable in one or more series as hereinafter provided.

        (b)   The number of authorized shares of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares thereof then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors irrespective of the provisions of Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL or any corresponding provision hereinafter enacted, with such outstanding shares of Common Stock and other stock considered for this purpose a single class of stock.

        (c)   Without any further action of the Corporation or any stockholder, each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Corporation which immediately prior to the Effective Time was outstanding or held as treasury stock shall be reclassified into, become and shall be deemed to represent 3.17 shares of Common Stock (such reclassifications collectively, the "Reclassification"). No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the Reclassification. If any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be issuable upon the Reclassification, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional shares of Common Stock, pay to each stockholder who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share an amount in cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the per share initial public offering price of the Common Stock in the Corporation's initial underwritten public offering of Common Stock, computed to the nearest whole cent. Whether a stockholder holds fractional shares after such reclassification shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Common Stock held by such holder immediately prior to such reclassification and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate reclassification.

        Section 2.    Provisions Relating to the Common Stock.    

        (a)    Voting.    Except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or by applicable law, each holder of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled, with respect to each share of Common Stock held by such holder, to one vote in person or by proxy on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Common Stock, whether voting separately as a class or otherwise.

        (b)    Dividends and Distributions.    Subject to the preferences and rights, if any, applicable to shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive such dividends and other distributions in cash, property, stock or otherwise as may be declared thereon by the Board of Directors at any time and from time to time out of assets or funds of the Corporation legally available therefor.

        (c)    Liquidation Rights.    In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for payment of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, and subject to the preferences and rights, if any, applicable to shares of Preferred Stock or any series thereof, the holders of shares of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares of Common Stock held by them.

Annex I

THE POWERS, PREFERENCES AND RELATIVE,
PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS OF
JUNIOR EXCHANGEABLE PREFERRED STOCK DUE 2010 AND
QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS THEREOF

        (a)    Designation.    

        There is hereby created out of the authorized and unissued shares of preferred stock of the Company a class of preferred stock designated as the "Junior Exchangeable Preferred Stock" (the "Junior Preferred Stock"). The number of shares constituting such class shall be 24,500. The initial liquidation preference of each share of Junior Preferred Stock shall be $1,000.00 per share. As of any time, the liquidation preference of any share of Junior Preferred Stock shall be an amount equal to the excess of $1,000.00 over the Adjustment Amount with respect to such share (such amount, the "Liquidation Preference").

        (b)    Rank.    

        The Junior Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company, rank (i) senior to all classes of common stock of the Company (the "Common Stock") and each other class of Capital Stock or series of Preferred Stock of the Company hereafter created by the Board of Directors the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks on a parity with or senior to the Junior Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company (collectively referred to with the Common Stock of the Company as "Junior Securities"), (ii) on a parity with any class of Capital Stock or series of Preferred Stock hereafter created by the Board of Directors, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series shall rank on a parity with the Junior Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company (collectively referred to as "Parity Securities"), and (iii) junior to any class of Capital Stock or series of Preferred Stock hereinafter created by the Board of Directors, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series shall rank senior to the Junior Preferred Stock as to dividend distributions and distributions upon the liquidation, winding up and dissolution of the Company (collectively referred to as "Senior Securities").

        (c)    Dividends.    

            (i)    On each Dividend Payment Date, the Holder of an outstanding share of Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends on such share of Junior Preferred Stock, at a quarterly rate of 3.10%, such quarterly rate to be multiplied by the Stated Amount of such share as of such time. All dividends shall be cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, on a daily basis from the Issue Date and if declared shall be payable quarterly on each Dividend Payment Date with respect to the quarter ending on such Dividend Payment Date, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date. Each distribution in the form of a dividend shall be payable to the Holders of record as they appear on the stock register of the Company on such record date, not less than 10 nor more than 60 days preceding the related Dividend Payment Date, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. Dividends shall cease to accumulate in respect of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock (x) on the Exchange Date or on the date of their earlier redemption or purchase, unless the Company shall have failed to issue the appropriate aggregate principal amount of Exchange Debentures in respect of the Junior Preferred Stock on the Exchange Date or shall have failed to pay the relevant redemption price on the date fixed for redemption or the relevant Change of Control Purchase Price on the date fixed for purchase, or (y) subject to the issuance of the shares of Successor Company Stock as contemplated by paragraph (l)(i) hereof, on any earlier Conversion Date. Dividends payable on shares of the Junior Preferred Stock for any period less than three months shall be computed on the basis of a 90-day quarter of three 30-day months and


    the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which payable. If any Dividend Payment Date occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, any accrued dividends otherwise payable on such Dividend Payment Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

            (ii)   All dividends paid with respect to shares of the Junior Preferred Stock pursuant to paragraph (c)(i) shall be paid to the Holders entitled thereto, pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts thereof to which the respective Holders are entitled.

            (iii)  Nothing herein contained shall in any way or under any circumstances be construed or deemed to require the Board of Directors to declare, or the Company to pay or set apart for payment, any dividends on shares of the Junior Preferred Stock at any time.

            (iv)  Dividends on account of arrears for any past Dividend Period may be declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to the Holders of record on such date, not more than 45 days prior to the payment thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.

            (v)   No full dividends shall be declared by the Board of Directors or paid or funds set apart for payment of dividends by the Company on any Parity Securities for any period (A) during which a Mandatory Redemption Event exists and (B) unless full cumulative dividends shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in full, or declared and a sum in cash set apart sufficient for such payment, on the Junior Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such full dividends on such Parity Securities. If any dividends are not paid in full, as aforesaid, upon the shares of the Junior Preferred Stock and any other Parity Securities, all dividends declared upon shares of the Junior Preferred Stock and any other Parity Securities shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share on the Junior Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Junior Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities bear to each other.

            (vi)  (A) The Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the dividends provided for in paragraph (c)(i) hereof in preference to and in priority over any dividends upon any of the Junior Securities, as and to the extent provided in paragraphs (c)(vi)(B) and (c)(vii) below.

            (B)  So long as any shares of Junior Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not declare, pay or set apart for payment any dividend on any of the Junior Securities, or make any distribution in respect thereof, for (1) any period during which a Mandatory Redemption Event or Dividend Default exists and (2) any period prior to a Public Offering unless full cumulative dividends shall have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid in full, or declared and a sum in cash set apart sufficient for such payment, on the Junior Preferred Stock for all Dividend Periods terminating on or prior to the date of payment of such dividends on such Junior Securities.

            (vii) At any time that a Dividend Default or Mandatory Redemption Event exists, so long as any shares of Junior Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any of the Junior Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any of the Junior Securities, either directly or indirectly, and whether in cash, obligations or shares of the Company or other property, and shall not permit any corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Company to purchase or redeem any of the Junior Securities or any such warrants, rights, calls or options.

            (viii) At any time that a Dividend Default or Mandatory Redemption Event exists, so long as any shares of Junior Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not make any payment on account of, or set apart for payment money for a sinking or other similar fund for, the purchase, redemption or other retirement of, any of the Parity Securities or any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into any of the Parity Securities, and shall not permit any



    corporation or other entity directly or indirectly controlled by the Company to purchase or redeem any of the Parity Securities or any such warrants, rights, calls or options.

        (d)    Liquidation Preference.    

            (i)    Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company (determined either for the Company alone or with its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis), each Holder of any share of Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding shall be entitled to be paid, out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders, the Liquidation Preference for such share of the Junior Preferred Stock as of such time, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up (including an amount equal to a prorated dividend for the period from the last Dividend Payment Date to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up), before any payment shall be made or any assets distributed to the holders of any of the Junior Securities, including, without limitation, Common Stock of the Company. If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company, the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the Liquidation Preference for the Junior Preferred Stock and liquidation preference for all Parity Securities as of such time and the accumulated and unpaid dividends payable to the holders of outstanding shares of the Junior Preferred Stock and all Parity Securities, then the holders of all such shares shall share equally and ratably in such distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the Liquidation Preference for the Junior Preferred Stock and liquidation preference for all Parity Securities as of such time plus accumulated and unpaid dividends which would be payable on such distribution if the respective amounts thereof to which the Holders of outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock and the holders of outstanding shares of all Parity Securities are entitled were paid in full.

            (ii)   After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference and all accumulated and unpaid dividends to which they are entitled, the Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets of the Company with respect to the shares of Junior Preferred Stock.

            (iii)  For the purposes of this paragraph (d), neither the sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company nor the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into one or more Persons shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company (unless such sale, conveyance, exchange or transfer is in connection with a dissolution or winding-up of the business of the Company, whereby the transferee of such property or assets or the surviving Person in such consolidation or merger does not continue to operate such business as a going concern).

        (e)    Redemption.    

            (i)    Optional Redemption.    (A) The Company may (subject to the legal availability of funds therefor), at the option of the Company, redeem at any time on or after the first anniversary of the Issue Date, from any source of funds legally available therefor, in whole or in part, in the manner provided in paragraph (e)(iii) hereof, any or all of the shares of the Junior Preferred Stock, at a redemption price for any such share equal to the sum of (i) the product of (A) the Liquidation Preference of such share as of the applicable Redemption Date, multiplied by (B) the percentage set forth below with respect to such Redemption Date, plus (ii) without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends with respect to such share (including an amount in cash equal to a prorated dividend for the period from the Dividend


    Payment Date immediately prior to the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date) (collectively, the "Optional Redemption Price"):

            (C)  In the event of a redemption of only a portion of the then outstanding shares of the Junior Preferred Stock, the Company shall effect such redemption as it determines, pro rata, according to the number of shares held by each Holder of the Junior Preferred Stock or by lot, as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

            (ii)    Mandatory Redemption.    On the date which is 11 years after the Issue Date, upon the existence and continuance for at least 180 days of any Mandatory Redemption Event (other than a Mandatory Redemption Event pursuant to clause (1) of the definition thereof) or upon the existence and continuance of a Dividend Default for four consecutive quarterly periods, the Company shall redeem (subject to the Debt Agreements (including the availability of funds by dividend from NAVL in compliance therewith), and to the legal availability of funds therefor) in the manner provided in paragraph (e)(iii) hereof, each share of the Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference of such share as of the applicable Redemption Date, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends with respect to such share (including an amount equal to a prorated dividend for the period from the Dividend Payment Date immediately prior to the Redemption Date to the Redemption Date) (collectively, the "Mandatory Redemption Price").

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

              (1)   whether the redemption is pursuant to paragraph (e)(i)(A), (e)(i)(B), or (e)(ii) hereof;


              (2)   the Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or the Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be;

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

              (4)   the number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock held, as of the appropriate record date, by the Holder that the Company intends to redeem;

              (5)   the date fixed for redemption;

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

              (7)   that dividends on the shares of the Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or the Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be.

            (B)  On or prior to the date fixed for redemption, each Holder of Junior Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Junior Preferred Stock to the Company, duly endorsed, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and on the Redemption Date, the full Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be, for such shares shall be payable in cash to the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the event that less than all of the shares represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares.

            (C)  If the funds of the Company legally available for redemption of shares of Junior Preferred Stock on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be redeemed on such date, or if a complete redemption is not permitted by any Debt Agreement (or any Debt Agreement does not permit NAVL to dividend sufficient legally available funds to the Company to effect a complete redemption), those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of shares of the Holders to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted under each Debt Agreement to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company out of funds legally available therefor. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are legally available for the redemption of shares, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the shares of Junior Preferred Stock which the Company has become obligated to redeem, on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed, to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted under each Debt Agreement to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company out of funds legally available therefor.

            (D)  Unless the Company defaults in the payment in full of the applicable redemption price, dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock called for redemption shall cease to accumulate on the Redemption Date, and the Holders of such shares shall cease to have any further rights with respect thereto on the Redemption Date, other than the right to receive the Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or the Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be, without interest.

        (f)    Voting Rights.    

            (i)    The Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock, except as otherwise required under the laws of the State of Delaware or as set forth in paragraph (f)(ii) below and in paragraphs (h) and (l) hereof, shall not be entitled or permitted to vote on any matter required or permitted to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Company.


            (ii)   So long as any shares of the Junior Preferred Stock are outstanding, the Company shall not amend this Certificate of Designation so as to affect adversely the specified rights, preferences, privileges or voting rights of the Holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock.

            (iii)  Notwithstanding paragraph (f)(ii) above, (1) the creation, authorization or issuance of any shares of any Junior Securities, Parity Securities or Senior Securities, (2) the decrease in the amount of authorized capital stock of the Company of any class, (3) the increase in the amount of authorized capital stock of the Company of any class or (4) the conversion or exchange of the Junior Preferred Stock and any action in connection therewith in accordance with paragraph (l)(i), shall not require the consent of the Holders of Junior Preferred Stock and shall not be deemed to affect adversely the rights, preferences, privileges or voting rights of the Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock.

        (g)    Exchange.    

            (i)    Requirements.    (A) The Company may at its option exchange all, but not less than all, of the then outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock into the Company's Exchange Debentures on any Dividend Payment Date, provided that on the date of such exchange: (1) such exchange is not prohibited by the Debt Agreements; (2) such exchange would comply with the Delaware General Corporation Law; (3) either (a) a registration statement relating to the Exchange Debentures shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), prior to such exchange and shall continue to be in effect on the date of such exchange or (b) (i) the Company shall have obtained a written opinion of counsel to the Company that an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available for such exchange and (ii) such exemption is relied upon by the Company for such exchange; and (4) immediately after giving effect to such exchange, no Default or Event of Default (each as defined in the Exchange Debentures) would exist under the Exchange Debentures. In the event that the issuance of the Exchange Debentures is not permitted on the date of exchange or any of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) of the preceding sentence are not satisfied on the date of exchange, the Company shall use its best efforts to satisfy such conditions and effect such exchange as soon as practicable.

            The Company shall send a written notice (the "Exchange Notice") of exchange by mail to each Holder of record, which notice shall state: (v) that the Company is exercising its option to exchange the Junior Preferred Stock for Exchange Debentures pursuant to this Certificate of Designation; (w) the date fixed for exchange (the "Exchange Date"), which date shall not be less than 30 days nor more than 60 days following the date on which the Exchange Notice is mailed (except as provided in the next sentence of this paragraph); (x) that the Holder is to surrender to the Company, at the place or places where certificates for shares of Junior Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for exchange, in the manner designated in the Exchange Notice, the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be exchanged; (y) that dividends on the shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be exchanged shall cease to accrue on the Exchange Date whether or not certificates for shares of Junior Preferred Stock are surrendered for exchange on the Exchange Date unless the Company shall default in the delivery of Exchange Debentures; and (z) that interest on the Exchange Debentures shall accrue from the Exchange Date whether or not certificates for shares of Junior Preferred Stock are surrendered for exchange on the Exchange Date. On the Exchange Date, if the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (4) above are satisfied, the Company shall issue Exchange Debentures in exchange for the Junior Preferred Stock as provided in the next paragraph.

            (B)  Upon any exchange pursuant to paragraph (g)(i)(A), an Exchange Debenture shall be issued in exchange for each share of Junior Preferred Stock, in registered form without coupons, in a principal amount equal to the Stated Amount as of such time.

            (C)  The Exchange Debentures shall be issued in long form without an indenture and shall be in the form having substantially similar terms, as the form of Exchange Debenture attached as Annex A hereto.



            (ii)    Procedure for Exchange.    (A) On or before the date fixed for exchange, each Holder of Junior Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Junior Preferred Stock, in the manner and at the place designated in the Exchange Notice. The Company shall cause the Exchange Debentures to be executed on the Exchange Date and, upon surrender in accordance with the Exchange Notice of the certificates for any shares of Junior Preferred Stock so exchanged (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the notice shall so state), such shares shall be exchanged by the Company into Exchange Debentures. The Company shall pay interest on the Exchange Debentures at the rate and on the dates specified therein from the Exchange Date.

            (B)  If notice has been mailed as aforesaid, and if before the Exchange Date all Exchange Debentures necessary for such exchange shall have been duly executed by the Company, then on the Exchange Date, dividends shall cease to accrue on the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock and all of the rights of the Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock as stockholders of the Company shall cease (except the right to receive Exchange Debentures), and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Exchange Debentures issuable upon exchange shall be treated for all purposes as the registered holder or holders of such Exchange Debentures as of the date of exchange.

        (h)    Change of Control.    

            (i)    Unless otherwise consented to by the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, upon the occurrence after the Issue Date of a Change of Control, each Holder of Junior Preferred Stock then outstanding, subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (h), shall have the right (subject to the Debt Agreements (including the availability of funds by dividend from NAVL in compliance therewith), and to the legal availability of funds therefor) to require the Company to purchase any or all of such Holder's shares of Junior Preferred Stock pursuant to an offer (an "Offer") at a purchase price per share in cash equal to 101% of the Liquidation Preference of such share at the purchase date, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends with respect to such share (including an amount in cash equal to a prorated dividend for the period from the Dividend Payment Date immediately prior to the purchase date, to the purchase date) (collectively, the "Change of Control Purchase Price"). Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Junior Preferred Stock as described under paragraph (e) above, the Company shall, not later than 30 days following the date the Company obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control having occurred, mail a notice (the "Purchase Notice") to each Holder of record stating: (1) that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur and that such Holder has, or upon such occurrence will have, the right (subject to the Debt Agreements (including the availability of funds by dividend from NAVL in compliance therewith), and to the legal availability of funds therefor) to require the Company to purchase any or all shares of such Holder's Junior Preferred Stock at a purchase price per share in cash equal to 101% of the Liquidation Preference thereof on the relevant Purchase Date, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends, if any, with respect to such share; (2) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control; (3) the date fixed for such purchase (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); (4) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this paragraph (h), that a Holder must follow in order to have its shares of Junior Preferred Stock purchased; and (5) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that such Offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control.

            (ii)   Holders of Junior Preferred Stock electing to have shares of Junior Preferred Stock purchased shall be required to surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Junior Preferred Stock, duly endorsed, to the Company in the manner and at the address specified in the Purchase Notice at least three Business Days prior to the date fixed for such purchase. On the Purchase Date, the Change of Control Purchase Price for such shares shall become payable in cash to the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In



    the event that less than all of the shares represented by any such certificate are purchased, a new certificate shall be issued representing the shares not purchased.

            (iii)  If the funds of the Company legally available for any purchase of shares of Junior Preferred Stock under this paragraph (h) on any Purchase Date are insufficient to purchase the total number of shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be purchased on such date or if a complete purchase is not permitted by any Debt Agreement (or any Debt Agreement does not permit NAVL to dividend sufficient legally available funds to the Company to effect a complete purchase), those funds which are legally available shall be used to purchase the maximum possible number of shares of the Holders to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company under each Debt Agreement out of funds legally available therefor. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are legally available for the purchase of shares, such funds shall immediately be used to purchase the balance of the shares of Junior Preferred Stock which the Company has become obligated to purchase on any Purchase Date but which it has not purchased, to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company under each Debt Agreement out of funds legally available therefor.

            (iv)  Unless the Company defaults in the payment in full of the applicable Change of Control Purchase Price, dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock tendered for purchase shall cease to accumulate on the date fixed for such purchase, and the Holders of such shares shall cease to have any further rights with respect thereto on the such date, other than the right to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price without interest.

            (v)   The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of Junior Preferred Stock pursuant to this paragraph (h). To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this paragraph (h), the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this paragraph (h) by virtue thereof.

            (vi)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph (h), the Company shall not be required to purchase any shares of Junior Preferred Stock under this paragraph (h), (A) unless NAVL is required to purchase or repay the outstanding Notes and Senior Discount Notes pursuant to the Indentures and has offered to purchase or repay in full all of the outstanding Notes and Senior Discount Notes and has so purchased or repaid in full all of the outstanding Notes and Senior Discount Notes of each holder of any Note or Senior Discount Note who has accepted such offer and (B) unless the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on all indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility, and all other monetary obligations owing in respect of the Senior Credit Facility, shall have been paid in full, and all letters of credit, bankers acceptances and similar instruments outstanding thereunder shall have expired undrawn.

        (i)    Conversion or Exchange.    

        The Holders of shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall not have any rights hereunder to convert such shares into or exchange such shares for shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of any class or classes of Capital Stock of the Company.

        (j)    Preemptive Rights.    

        No shares of Junior Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Company, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities or such warrants, rights or options may be designated, issued or granted.



        (k)    Business Day.    

        If any payment, redemption or exchange would be required by the terms hereof to be made on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment, redemption or exchange shall be made (and deemed required to be made) on the immediately succeeding Business Day.

        (l)    Certain Additional Provisions.    

            (i)    Merger or Consolidation.    (A) Without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, the Company will not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all its assets to, any Person, unless: (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the "Successor Company") will be a Person organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (2) if the Successor Company is not the Company, the Junior Preferred Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for and shall become Capital Stock of the Successor Company ("Successor Company Stock") having, in respect of such Successor Company, substantially the same preferences and relative participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereon, as applied to the Junior Preferred Stock immediately prior to such transaction; (3) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Successor Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction as having been Incurred by the Successor Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction) no Mandatory Redemption Event will have occurred and be continuing; and (4) the Company will have obtained an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each to the effect that such consolidation, merger or transfer complies with this paragraph (l)(i)(A), provided that (x) in giving such opinion such counsel may rely on an Officer's Certificate as to compliance with the foregoing clauses (2) and (3) and as to any matters of fact, and (y) no Opinion of Counsel will be required for a consolidation, merger or transfer described in paragraph (l)(i)(B) below. Any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or that is deemed to be Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) as a result of any such transaction undertaken in compliance with this paragraph (l)(i), and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, shall be deemed to have been Incurred in compliance with paragraph (l)(iii).

            (B)  Any merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease by the Company in compliance with this paragraph (l)(i) shall not be subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) above.

            (C)  Paragraph (l)(i)(A) above shall not apply to any transaction in which (1) any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or (2) the Company consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to (x) an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity or (y) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company so long as all assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof.

            (D)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Designation, each of the Company and any Successor Company shall have the right and power, without the consent or any act of any Holder, to amend or cancel this Certificate of Designation or take any other action necessary (as determined by the Company or such Successor Company in good faith) to effect any conversion or exchange of the Junior Preferred Stock contemplated by paragraph (l)(i)(A)(2) above. Without limiting the foregoing:

              (1)   In the event the Company or such Successor Company has effected or intends to effect such a conversion or exchange (a "Conversion Event"), it will send a written notice (the "Conversion Notice") by mail to each Holder of record, provided that no failure to give such notice nor any deficiency therein shall affect the validity of the procedure for the conversion


      or exchange of any shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be converted or exchanged except as to the Holder or Holders to whom the Company has failed to give such notice or except as to the Holder or Holders whose notice was defective. The Conversion Notice shall state: (x) that a Conversion Event has occurred or that the Company or a Successor Company intends to effect a Conversion Event; (y) that the Holder is to surrender to the Company or the Successor Company the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be converted or exchanged, the place or places where such certificate or certificates are to be surrendered and the manner in which such certificate or certificates are to be surrendered; and (z) that upon surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Junior Preferred Stock to be converted or exchanged in the manner designated in the Conversion Notice, the Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Successor Company a certificate or certificates representing shares of Successor Company Stock thereof.

              (2)   Each Holder of Junior Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Junior Preferred Stock, at the place and in the manner designated in the Conversion Notice, promptly upon its receipt of the Conversion Notice and in no event later than 30 days following the date on which the Conversion Notice is mailed. On the date that is 30 days following the date on which the Conversion Notice is mailed and provided that the Holder has surrendered the certificate of certificates representing the shares of Junior Preferred Stock, the Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Successor Company a certificate or certificates representing shares of Successor Company Stock thereof in accordance with the Conversion Notice.

              (3)   On the date on which the merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease transaction giving rise to the Conversion Event occurs (the "Conversion Date"), and provided that all shares of Successor Company Stock necessary to effect the Conversion Event have been duly issued by the Successor Company in the respective names of the Holders of record as at such date that are entitled thereto, then dividends shall cease to accrue on the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock and all of the rights of the Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred Stock as stockholders of the Company shall cease, and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Successor Company Stock issuable on the Conversion Date shall be treated for all purposes as the registered holder or holders of such Successor Company Stock as of the Conversion Date.

            (ii)    Junior Payments.    (A) Without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of any Junior Securities of the Company, including any such payment in connection with any merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party, except (x) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) and (y) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Junior Securities of the Company held by Persons other than the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than a purchase, redemption, retirement, or other acquisition for value in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of such acquisition) (any such dividend, distribution, purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition being herein referred to as a "Junior Payment"), if at the time the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary makes such Junior Payment:

              (1)   a Mandatory Redemption Event shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

              (2)   NAVL could not incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph (l)(iii)(A) below; or



              (3)   the aggregate amount of such Junior Payment and all other Junior Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive) declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date and then outstanding would exceed the sum of:

                (a)   50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company or (if greater) of NAVL accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from September 30, 1999 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Junior Payment for which consolidated financial statements of the Company or NAVL, as the case may be, are available (or, in case each such Consolidated Net Income shall be a negative number, 100% of the smaller such negative number); and

                (b)   the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the fair market value of Qualified Proceeds received (x) by the Company as capital contributions to the Company after the Issue Date or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) after the Issue Date or (y) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance and sale by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date of Indebtedness that shall have been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), plus the amount of cash and the fair market value of Qualified Proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange.

            (B)  The provisions of the foregoing paragraph (l)(ii)(A) will not prohibit any of the following (each, a "Permitted Payment"):

              (1)   any purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of Capital Stock of the Company made by exchange (including any such exchange pursuant to the exercise of a conversion right or privilege in connection with which cash is paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares) for, or conversion into, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance or sale of, Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary) or out of the proceeds of a substantially concurrent capital contribution to the Company; provided, that the Net Cash Proceeds from such issuance, sale or capital contribution shall be excluded in subsequent calculations under clause (3)(b) of the preceding paragraph (l)(ii)(A);

              (2)   any purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of Junior Securities (x) made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent issuance or sale of, Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in compliance with paragraph (l)(iii) below or (y) to the extent required by the agreement governing such Junior Securities following the occurrence of a Change of Control, but only if in each case, the Company shall have complied with paragraph (h) above and, if required, purchased all shares of Junior Preferred Stock tendered pursuant to an Offer to purchase such shares required thereby, prior to purchasing or repaying such Junior Securities;

              (3)   dividends paid within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof if at such date of declaration such dividend would have complied with the preceding paragraph (l)(ii)(A);

              (4)   payments to repurchase or otherwise acquire Capital Stock (including any options, warrants or other rights in respect thereof), in each case from Management Investors, such payments not to exceed an amount (net of repayments of any such loans or advances equal to (a) $12.5 million plus (b) $2.5 million multiplied by the number of calendar years that have commenced since the Issue Date plus (c) the Net Cash Proceeds received by the Company or NAVL since the Issue Date from, or as a capital contribution from, the issuance or sale of Capital Stock (including any options, warrants or other rights in respect thereof), to the extent such Net Cash Proceeds are not included in any calculation under clause (3)(b)(x) of the preceding paragraph (l)(ii)(A);



              (5)   the payment of dividends on the common stock or equity of the Company following a public offering of such common stock or equity, in an amount not to exceed in any fiscal year 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds received by the Company in or from such public offering;

              (6)   Junior Payments (including loans or advances) in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $10.0 million (net of repayments of any such loans or advances);

              (7)   payments to satisfy obligations under the Management Agreements to pay any Holding Expenses;

              (8)   payments to holders of Capital Stock of the Company in lieu of issuance of fractional shares of such Capital Stock, not to exceed $100,000 in the aggregate outstanding at any time;

              (9)   the distribution, as a dividend or otherwise, of Investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries;

              (10) the Transactions;

              (11) any purchase, redemption, retirement or other acquisition of Capital Stock that may be deemed to occur upon exercise of stock options, warrants or similar rights to the extent such Capital Stock represents all or part of the exercise price thereof; and

              (12) Junior Payments by any Restricted Subsidiary that are permitted by the Senior Credit Facility or any Indenture;

    provided, that (A) in the case of clauses (3) and (5), the net amount of any such Permitted Payment shall be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Junior Payments, (B) in the case of clause (4), 50% of the amount of any such Permitted Payment shall be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Junior Payments, (C) in the case of clause (12), the net amount of any such Permitted Payment shall be included in subsequent calculations of the amount of Junior Payments to the extent that such net amount is required under each Indenture to be included in concurrent calculations of the amount of Restricted Payments (as defined in such Indenture) under Section 4.08 of the Note Indenture, Section 4.08 of the Senior Discount Note Indenture and Section 6.7 of the Senior Discount Loan Agreement, (D) in all cases other than pursuant to clauses (A), (B) and (C) immediately above, the net amount of any such Permitted Payment shall be excluded in subsequent calculations of the amount of Junior Payments and (E) with respect to clauses (5) and (6), no Mandatory Redemption Event shall have occurred or be continuing at the time of any such Permitted Payment after giving effect thereto.

            (iii)    Limitation on Indebtedness.    (A) Without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock, the Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, Incur any Indebtedness; provided, however, that (1) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company would be greater than 1.75:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred on or prior to December 1, 2001 or 2.00:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred thereafter and (2) NAVL or any Note Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of NAVL would be greater than 2.00:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred on or prior to December 1, 2001 or 2.25:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred thereafter.

            (B)  Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph (l)(iii)(A), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur the following Indebtedness:

              (1)   Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to Credit Facilities (including but not limited to in respect of letters of credit or bankers' acceptances issued or created thereunder) and (without limiting the foregoing) any Refinancing Indebtedness in respect thereof, in a maximum principal amount at any time outstanding (giving effect to any refinancing thereof) not


      exceeding in the aggregate the amount equal to the sum of (x) $475.0 million and (y) the aggregate amount by which the Borrowing Base determined as of the date of such Incurrence exceeds $245.0 million (plus in the case of any refinancing of any Credit Facility or any portion thereof, the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing);

              (2)   Indebtedness (a) of any Restricted Subsidiary to the Company or (b) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, that any subsequent issuance or transfer of any Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary to which such Indebtedness is owed, or other event, that results in such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any other subsequent transfer of such Indebtedness (except to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) will be deemed, in each case, an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the issuer thereof;

              (3)   Indebtedness represented by the Exchange Debentures, the Notes and the Senior Discount Notes (other than Additional Notes), any Indebtedness (other than the Indebtedness described in clauses (1) or (2) above) outstanding on the Issue Date and any Refinancing Indebtedness Incurred in respect of any Indebtedness described in this clause (3) or paragraph (l)(iii)(A) above;

                (1)   if since the beginning of such period, such Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent has Incurred any Indebtedness that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio is an Incurrence of Indebtedness, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period (except that in making such computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility outstanding on the date of such calculation shall be computed based on (A) the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during such four fiscal quarters or such shorter period for which such facility was outstanding or (B) if such facility was created after the end of such four fiscal quarters, the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the period from the date of creation of such facility to the date of such calculation),

                (3)   if since the beginning of such period, such Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent shall have disposed of any company, any business or any group of assets constituting an operating unit of a business (any such disposition, a "Sale"), the Consolidated EBITDA for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) attributable to the assets that are the subject of such Sale for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) attributable thereto for such period and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be reduced by an amount equal to (A) the Consolidated Interest Expense attributable to any Indebtedness of such Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged with respect to such Parent and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such Sale for such period (including but not limited to through the assumption of such Indebtedness by another Person) plus (B) if the Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent is sold, the Consolidated Interest Expense for such period attributable to the Indebtedness of such Restricted Subsidiary to the extent such Parent and its continuing Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer liable for such Indebtedness after such Sale,

                (5)   if since the beginning of such period, any Person became a Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent or was merged or consolidated with or into of such Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent, and since the beginning of such period such Person shall have Discharged any Indebtedness or made any Sale or Purchase that would have required an adjustment pursuant to clause (2), (3) or (4) above if made by such Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of such Parent during such period, Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period shall be calculated after giving pro forma effect thereto as if such Discharge, Sale or Purchase occurred on the first day of such period.

              For purposes of this definition, whenever pro forma effect is to be given to any Sale, Purchase or other transaction, or the amount of income or earnings relating thereto and the amount of Consolidated Interest Expense associated with any Indebtedness Incurred or repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased or otherwise acquired, retired or discharged in connection therewith, the pro forma calculations in respect thereof may include anticipated cost savings relating to any such Sale, Purchase or other transaction that the Company or NAVL reasonably believes in good faith could have been achieved during the relevant four quarter period as a result of such Sale, Purchase or other transaction (provided that both (i) such cost savings were identified and quantified in an Officer's Certificate at the time of the consummation of such transaction and (ii) with respect to each such transaction completed prior to the 90th day preceding the relevant date of determination, actions were commenced or initiated by the Company or NAVL within 90 days of the consummation of such transaction to effect such cost savings identified in such Officer's Certificate and with respect to any other transaction, such Officer's Certificate sets forth the specific steps to be taken within the 90 days after the consummation of such transaction to accomplish such cost savings). 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 any Indebtedness bears, at the option of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, a rate of interest based on a prime or similar rate, a eurocurrency interbank offered rate or other fixed or floating rate, and such Indebtedness is being given pro forma effect, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be calculated by applying such optional rate as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may designate. If any Indebtedness that is being given pro forma effect was Incurred under a revolving credit facility, the interest expense on such Indebtedness shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Indebtedness during the applicable period. Interest on a Capitalized Lease Obligation shall be deemed to accrue at an interest rate determined in good faith by a responsible financial or accounting officer of the Company or NAVL to be the rate of interest implicit in such Capitalized Lease Obligation in accordance with GAAP.

ARTICLE 5
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

        Section 5.1    Events of Default.    An "Event of Default" occurs if:

            (a)   the Company defaults in any payment of interest on any Debenture when due, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 4, and such default continues for a period of 30 days;

            (b)   the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of any Debenture when the same becomes due at its Stated Maturity, upon optional redemption, upon required purchase, upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise, whether or not such payment shall be prohibited by Article 4;

            (c)   the Company fails to comply with Section 6.1 and such failure continues for 30 days after the notice specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 5.1;

            (d)   the Company fails to comply with Section 7.4 (other than a failure to purchase the Debentures), and such failure continues for 30 days after the notice specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 5.1;

            (e)   the Company fails to comply with any of its agreements in this Debenture Certificate (other than those referred to in (a), (b), (c) and (d) above) and such failure continues for 60 days after the notice specified in the penultimate paragraph of this Section 5.1;

            (f)    the Company or any Significant Subsidiary fails to pay any Indebtedness within any applicable grace period after final maturity or the acceleration of any such Indebtedness by the holders thereof because of a default if the total amount of such Indebtedness unpaid or accelerated exceeds $15,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent;

            (g)   the Company or any Significant Subsidiary pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

              (1)   commences a voluntary case;

              (2)   consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

              (3)   consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for any substantial part of its property; or

              (4)   makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

            (h)   a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

              (1)   is for relief against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case;

              (2)   appoints a Custodian of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or for any substantial part of its property; or

              (3)   orders the winding up or liquidation of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary;

24



    and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or

            (i)    there is rendered any judgment or decree for the payment of money in an amount (net of any insurance or indemnity payments actually received within 90 days from the entry thereof, or to be received in respect thereof in the event any appeal thereof shall be unsuccessful) in excess of $15,000,000 or its foreign currency equivalent against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary by a court or other adjudicatory authority of competent jurisdiction that is not discharged, or bonded or insured by a third Person, if such judgment or decree remains outstanding for a period of 90 days following such judgment or decree and is not discharged, waived or stayed.

        The foregoing will constitute Events of Default whatever the reason for any such Event of Default and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body.

        The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Title 11, United States Code, or any similar Federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

        A Default under clause (c), (d) or (e) is not an Event of Default until the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Debentures notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified therein after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default." When a Default or an Event of Default is cured, it ceases.

        The Company shall deliver to the Holders, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of any Event of Default under clause (f) or (i) and any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time would become an Event of Default under clause (c), (d) or (e), its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

        Section 5.2    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.    If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures by notice to the Company, specifying in such notice the respective Event of Default and that such notice is a "notice of acceleration," may, but only in the event that all Designated Senior Indebtedness shall first have been paid in full, declare the principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon the effectiveness of such a declaration, such principal and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (g) or (h) of Section 5.1 with respect to the Company occurs and is continuing, then the principal of and any accrued interest on all the outstanding Debentures will ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any Holder. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debentures by notice to the Company may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except non-payment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of such acceleration. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a declaration of acceleration in respect of the Notes because an Event of Default specified in clause (f) of Section 5.1 shall have occurred and be continuing, such declaration of acceleration of the Debentures and such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (including without limitation any acceleration or resulting payment default) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Holders, and be of no further effect, if within 60 days after such Event of Default arose (x) the Indebtedness that is the basis

25



for such Event of Default has been discharged, or (y) the holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default, or (z) the default in respect of such Indebtedness that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

        Section 5.3    Other Remedies; Collection Suit by Trustee.    If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Debentures have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 5.2, the Holder of any Debenture then outstanding may, but only in the event that all Designated Senior Indebtedness shall first have been paid in full, proceed to pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal of or interest on the Debentures or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Debentures or this Debenture Certificate.

        Section 5.4    Application of Money Collected.    Any money collected by any Holder pursuant to this Article 5 shall be applied in the following order, and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Debentures and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

            First: to holders of Senior Indebtedness to the extent required by Article 4;

            Second: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Debentures for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, 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 Notes for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively; and

            Third: to the Company.

        Section 5.5    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.    No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved 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 5.6    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.    No delay or omission of any Holder of any Debenture 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 5 or by law to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Holders, but only in the event that all Designated Senior Indebtedness shall first have been paid in full.

        Section 5.7    Waiver of Past Defaults.    The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Debentures may on behalf of the Holders of all the Debentures waive any past Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default

            (a)   in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Debenture (which may only be waived with the consent of each Holder of Debentures affected), or

            (b)   in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 8.4(b) cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Debenture affected.

        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 Debenture Certificate; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. In case of any such waiver, the Company, any other obligor upon the Debentures

26


and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Debentures, respectively.

ARTICLE 6
COVENANTS

Any Indebtedness that becomes an obligation of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (or that is deemed to be Incurred by any Restricted Subsidiary that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary) as a result of any such transaction undertaken in compliance with this Section 6.1, and any Refinancing Indebtedness with respect thereto, shall be deemed to have been Incurred in compliance with Section 6.3.

        (B)  Paragraph 6.1(A) above shall not apply to any transaction in which (1) any Restricted Subsidiary consolidates with, merges into or transfers all or part of its assets to the Company or (2) the Company consolidates or merges with or into or transfers all or substantially all its properties and assets to (x) an Affiliate incorporated or organized for the purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Company in another jurisdiction or changing its legal structure to a corporation or other entity or (y) a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company so long as all assets of the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries immediately prior to such transaction (other than Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary) are owned by such Restricted Subsidiary and its Restricted Subsidiaries immediately after the consummation thereof.

        (D)    Successor Company Substituted.    Upon any transaction involving the Company in accordance with Section 6.1(A)-(C), in which the Company is not the Successor Company, the Successor Company will succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Debenture Certificate, and thereafter the predecessor Company shall be relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Debenture Certificate.

        Section 6.2    Junior Payments.    (A) Without the consent of the Majority Holders, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on or in respect of any Junior Securities of the Company, including any such payment in connection with any merger or consolidation to which the Company is a party, except (x) dividends or distributions payable solely in its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) and (y) dividends or distributions payable to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire for value, prior to scheduled maturity, scheduled

            (1)   a Mandatory Redemption Event shall have occurred and be continuing (or would result therefrom);

            (2)   NAVL could not incur at least an additional $1.00 of Indebtedness pursuant to paragraph 6.3(A) below; or

            (3)   the aggregate amount of such Junior Payment and all other Junior Payments (the amount so expended, if other than in cash, to be as determined in good faith by the Board, whose determination shall be conclusive) declared or made subsequent to the Issue Date and then outstanding would exceed the sum of:

              (a)   50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Company or (if greater) of NAVL accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from September 30, 1999 to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter ending prior to the date of such Junior Payment for which consolidated financial statements of the Company or NAVL, as the case may be, are available (or, in case each such Consolidated Net Income shall be a negative number, 100% of the smaller such negative number); and

              (b)   the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds and the fair market value of Qualified Proceeds received (x) by the Company as capital contributions to the Company after the Issue Date or from the issuance or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of its Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) after the Issue Date or (y) by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance and sale by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date of Indebtedness that shall have been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock), plus the amount of cash and the fair market value of Qualified Proceeds received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary upon such conversion or exchange.

29


the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of the Company would be greater than 1.75:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred on or prior to December 1, 2001 or 2.00:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred thereafter and (2) NAVL or any Note Guarantor may Incur Indebtedness if on the date of the Incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the Incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Coverage Ratio of NAVL would be greater than 2.00:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred on or prior to December 1, 2001 or 2.25:1.00 if such Indebtedness is Incurred thereafter.

31


Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in paragraph 6.3(B) above, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall classify such item of Indebtedness and only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses; and (iii) the amount of Indebtedness issued at a price that is less than the principal amount thereof shall be equal to the amount of the liability in respect thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.

        (D)  For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of such Indebtedness Incurred pursuant thereto shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date that such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Indebtedness, provided that (x) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of any such Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the Issue Date, (y) if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such Dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced and (z) the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency and Incurred pursuant to the Senior Credit Facility shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on, at the Company's option, (i) the Issue Date, (ii) any date on which any of the respective commitments under the Senior Credit Facility shall be reallocated between or among facilities or subfacilities thereunder, or on which such rate is otherwise calculated for any purpose thereunder, or (iii) the date of such Incurrence. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

        Section 6.4    Withholding.    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Debenture Certificate, in the event that the Company makes any tax payment in respect of any Debenture or share of Junior Preferred Stock for which such Debenture was exchanged (including but not limited to any withholding tax payment made by the Company under Chapter 3 of Subtitle A of the Code):

            (A)  if the tax payment is in respect of a cash interest payment or distribution made on such Debenture or share, the amount of such cash payment or distribution paid to the Holder of such Debenture or share shall be reduced by the amount of such tax payment, provided that for all purposes hereof the Holder of such Debenture or share shall be treated as having received the amount of such tax payment as part of such cash payment or distribution and as having paid over such tax payment to the taxing authority to which it was paid; and

            (B)  if the tax payment is not in respect of a cash interest payment or distribution made on such Debenture or share (or exceeds a cash payment or distribution made on such Debenture or share), the Principal Amount of such Debenture as of the time of such tax payment shall be reduced by the amount of such tax payment (or the amount of such excess) through an increase (without duplication) in the Adjustment Amount.

If and to the extent that a Holder of any Debenture remits cash to the Company for the specified purpose of funding a tax payment to be made by the Company in respect of such Debenture or share, and such cash is received by the Company prior to the time that the Company makes such tax payment, then such tax payment shall be disregarded for purposes of the preceding sentence. If requested by any Holder of any Debenture, the Company shall consult in good faith with such Holder concerning the Company's obligations to make any tax payments in respect of such Debenture.

        (c)   In the event of a redemption of only a portion of the then outstanding Debentures, the Company shall effect such redemption as it determines, pro rata, according to the number of Debentures held by each Holder of the Debentures or by lot, as may be determined by the Company in its sole discretion.

        Section 7.2    Mandatory Repayments.    Upon the existence and continuance for at least 180 days of any Mandatory Redemption Event (other than a Mandatory Redemption Event pursuant to clause (1) of the definition thereof) or upon the existence and continuance of a Dividend Default for four consecutive quarterly periods, the Company shall redeem (subject to the Debt Agreements (including the availability of funds by dividend from NAVL in compliance therewith), and to the legal availability of funds therefor) in the manner provided in Section 7.3 hereof, each Debenture then outstanding at a redemption price equal to the Principal Amount of such Debenture as of the applicable Redemption Date, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all interest accrued and unpaid to the Redemption Date (collectively, the "Mandatory Redemption Price").

        7.3    Procedures for Optional Redemption and Mandatory Redemption.    (a) At least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for any redemption of the Debentures, written notice (the "Redemption Notice") shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder of record on the record date fixed for such redemption of the Debentures at such Holder's address as the same appears on the Register, provided that no failure to give such notice nor any deficiency therein shall affect the validity of the procedure for the redemption of any Debentures to be redeemed except as to

33



the Holder or Holders to whom the Company has failed to give said notice or except as to the Holder or Holders whose notice was defective. The Redemption Notice shall state:

    (i)
    whether the redemption is pursuant to Section 7.1(A), 7.1(B), 7.2 or 7.5 hereof;

    (ii)
    the Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price, the Mandatory Redemption Price, or the Residual Prepayment Price (as defined in Section 7.5), as the case may be;

    (iii)
    whether all or less than all the outstanding Debentures are to be redeemed and the total Principal Amount of Debentures being redeemed;

    (iv)
    the number of Debentures held, as of the appropriate record date, by the Holder that the Company intends to redeem;

    (v)
    the date fixed for redemption;

    (vi)
    that the Holder is to surrender to the Company, at the place or places where certificates for Debentures are to be surrendered for redemption, in the manner and at the price designated, the certificate or certificates representing the Debentures to be redeemed; and

    (vii)
    that interest on the Debentures to be redeemed shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or the Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be.

        (b)   On or prior to the date fixed for redemption, each Holder of Debentures shall surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Debentures to the Company, duly endorsed, in the manner and at the place designated in the Redemption Notice, and on the Redemption Date, the full Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be, for such Debentures shall be payable in cash to the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof, and each surrendered certificate shall be canceled and retired. In the event that less than all of the Debentures represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed Debentures.

        (c)   If the funds of the Company legally available for redemption of Debentures on any Redemption Date are insufficient to redeem the total number of Debentures to be redeemed on such date, or if a complete redemption is not permitted by any Debt Agreement (or any Debt Agreement does not permit NAVL to Debentures sufficient legally available funds to the Company to effect a complete redemption), those funds which are legally available shall be used to redeem the maximum possible number of Debentures of the Holders to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted under each Debt Agreement to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company out of funds legally available therefor. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are legally available for the redemption of Debentures, such funds shall immediately be used to redeem the balance of the Debentures which the Company has become obligated to redeem, on any Redemption Date but which it has not redeemed, to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted under each Debt Agreement to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company out of funds legally available therefor.

        (d)   Unless the Company defaults in the payment in full of the applicable redemption price, interest on the Debentures called for redemption shall cease to accrue on the Redemption Date, and the Holders of such Debentures shall cease to have any further rights with respect thereto on the Redemption Date, other than the right to receive the Optional Redemption Price, the Special Redemption Price or the Mandatory Redemption Price, as the case may be, without interest.

        Section 7.4    Change of Control.    

        (i)    Unless otherwise consented to by the Majority Holder, upon the occurrence after the Issue Date of a Change of Control, each Holder of Debentures then outstanding, subject to the other

34



provisions of this Section 7.4, shall have the right (subject to the Debt Agreements (including the availability of funds by dividend from NAVL in compliance therewith), and to the legal availability of funds therefor) to require the Company to purchase any or all of such Holder's Debentures pursuant to an offer (an "Offer") at a purchase price per share in cash equal to 101% of the Principal Amount of such Debenture at the purchase date, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Principal Amount of such Debenture to the purchase date (collectively, the "Change of Control Purchase Price"). Unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem the Debentures as described under Section 7.1 above, the Company shall, not later than 30 days following the date the Company obtains actual knowledge of any Change of Control having occurred, mail a notice (the "Purchase Notice") to each Holder of record stating: (1) that a Change of Control has occurred or may occur and that such Holder has, or upon such occurrence will have, the right (subject to the Debt Agreements (including the availability of funds by dividend from NAVL in compliance therewith), and to the legal availability of funds therefor) to require the Company to purchase any or all of such Holder's Debentures at a purchase price per Debenture in cash equal to 101% of the Principal Amount thereof on the relevant Purchase Date, plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accrued and unpaid interest, if any, with respect to such Debenture; (2) the circumstances and relevant facts and financial information regarding such Change of Control; (3) the date fixed for such purchase (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); (4) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 7.4, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Debentures purchased; and (5) if such notice is mailed prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, that such Offer is conditioned on the occurrence of such Change of Control.

        (ii)   Holders of Debentures electing to have Debentures purchased shall be required to surrender the certificate or certificates representing such Debentures, duly endorsed, to the Company in the manner and at the address specified in the Purchase Notice at least three Business Days prior to the date fixed for such purchase. On the Purchase Date, the Change of Control Purchase Price for such Debentures shall become payable in cash to the Person whose name appears on such certificate or certificates as the owner thereof. In the event that less than all of the shares represented by any such certificate are purchased, a new certificate shall be issued representing the shares not purchased.

        (iii)  If the funds of the Company legally available for any purchase of Debentures under this Section 7.4 on any Purchase Date are insufficient to purchase the aggregate amount of Debentures to be purchased on such date or if a complete purchase is not permitted by any Debt Agreement (or any Debt Agreement does not permit NAVL to dividend sufficient legally available funds to the Company to effect a complete purchase), those funds which are legally available shall be used to purchase the maximum possible number of shares of the Holders to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company under each Debt Agreement out of funds legally available therefor. At any time thereafter when additional funds of the Company are legally available for the purchase of shares, such funds shall immediately be used to purchase the balance of the amount of Debentures which the Company has become obligated to purchase on any Purchase Date but which it has not purchased, to the extent permitted by each Debt Agreement and to the extent NAVL is permitted to dividend an equal amount of funds to the Company under each Debt Agreement out of funds legally available therefor.

        (iv)  Unless the Company defaults in the payment in full of the applicable Change of Control Purchase Price, interest on the Debentures tendered for purchase shall cease to accrue on the date fixed for such purchase, and the Holders of such Debentures shall cease to have any further rights with respect thereto on the such date, other than the right to receive the Change of Control Purchase Price without interest.

        (v)   The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the purchase of

35



Debentures pursuant to this Section 7.4. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 7.4, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 7.4 by virtue thereof.

        (vi)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.4, the Company shall not be required to purchase any Debentures under this Section 7.4, (A) unless NAVL is required to purchase or repay the outstanding Notes and Senior Discount Notes pursuant to the Indentures and has offered to purchase or repay in full all of the outstanding Notes and Senior Discount Notes and has so purchased or repaid in full all of the outstanding Notes and Senior Discount Notes of each holder of any Note or Senior Discount Note who has accepted such offer and (B) unless the principal of and all accrued and unpaid interest on all indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility, and all other monetary obligations owing in respect of the Senior Credit Facility, shall have been paid in full, and all letters of credit, bankers acceptances and similar instruments outstanding thereunder shall have expired undrawn.

        Section 7.5.    Special Prepayment.    The Company may (subject to the legal availability of funds therefor), at the option of the Company, redeem at any time, from any source of funds legally available therefor, in whole or in part, in the manner provided in Section 7.3 hereof, any portion of the Principal Amount of the Debentures in an amount that does not exceed the Residual Principal, at a redemption price for any such Debenture equal to the portion of the Principal Amount of the Debentures to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on such portion of the Principal Amount to be redeemed (collectively, the "Residual Prepayment Price").

            (g)   to provide for or confirm the issuance of Additional Debentures,

            (h)   to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder under the Debentures or this Debenture Certificate or

            (i)    to make any Conforming Change (as defined in Section 8.4(e) below).

        (b)    With Consent of Holders.    The Company may amend or supplement this Debenture Certificate or the Debentures with the written consent of the Majority Holders (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Debentures), and the Majority

37


Holders (including by consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Debentures) may waive any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance by the Company with any provision of this Debenture Certificate or the Debentures.

        Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.4(b), without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Article 5, may not:

            (i)    reduce the principal amount of the Debentures whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver;

            (ii)   reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Debenture;

            (iii)  reduce the principal or extend the Stated Maturity of any Debenture;

            (vi)  make any change in Article 4 that adversely affects the rights of any Holder in any material respect;

            (vii) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest on such Holder's Debentures on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder's Debentures; or

            (viii) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions described in this sentence.

        Notwithstanding Section 8.4(a) and the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4(b), no amendment to Article 4 of this Debenture Certificate or the definitions relating thereto that adversely affects the rights of any Holder of Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding (which Senior Indebtedness has been previously designated in writing by the Company to the Holders for this purpose) may be made unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent in writing to such amendment.

        It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 8.4(b) 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 8.4(b) becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of each Debenture affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, 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 or effectiveness of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

        (c)    Revocation and Effect of Consents.    Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Debenture or any Debenture that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Holder's Debenture, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Debenture. Subject to the following paragraph of this Section 8.4(c), any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to such Holder's Debenture by notice to the Company received by the Company before the date on which the Holders receive an Officer's Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Debentures have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment, supplement or waiver. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver.

38



        After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Holder of Debentures, unless it makes a change described in any of clauses (i) through (viii) of the second paragraph of Section 8.4(b). In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Debenture who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of such Debenture or any Debenture that evidences all or any part of the same debt as the consenting Holder's Debenture.

        (d)    Notation on or Exchange of Notes.    If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Debenture, the Company may request the Holder of the Debenture to deliver it to the Company. The Company shall place an appropriate notation on the Debenture about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company shall issue in exchange for the Debenture a new Debenture that reflects the changed terms. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Debenture shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.

        (e)   "Conforming Change" means, in the event any provision of the Credit Agreement or any Indenture is amended or waived in accordance with its terms and if any provision in Article 5 or 6 or Section 7.4 of this Debenture is substantially similar to such amended or waived provision in such other agreement, any amendment or waiver hereunder made (or deemed made in the case of a waiver) in like manner and to the same extent.

        (f)    Any term of this Debenture may only be amended or waived in accordance with this Section 8.4, and any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 8.4 shall be binding upon the Holder and the Company, whether or not (in the case of an amendment or waiver affecting this Debenture) the substance of such amendment or waiver is thereafter incorporated on the face of this Debenture Certificate.

        Section 8.5    Headings.    

        The headings of the articles and sections of this Debenture Certificate are inserted for convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof.

        Section 8.6    Notices.    

        Any notice or other communication under this Debenture shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given or made (i) when delivered by hand, (ii) four Business Days after it is sent by express, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or (iii) one Business Day after it is sent by nationally recognized overnight courier, in each case addressed as follows:
