(hereinafter referred to as the "Selling Shareholder") of the Company, confirm
their respective agreements with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Lynch, Pierce,
▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇ Incorporated ("▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇"), ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ Barney Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Chase Securities
Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc. (collectively, the
"Representatives") and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto
(collectively, the "Underwriters", which term shall also include any underwriter
substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), with respect to (i)
the sale by the Company and the Selling Shareholder, acting severally and not
jointly, and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly,
of 4,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per

Company and the Selling Shareholder, acting severally and not jointly, to the
Underwriters of the
option described in Section 2(c) hereof to purchase all or any part of 750,000
additional shares of Common Stock to cover over-allotments, if any. The
aforesaid 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock (the "Initial Shares") to be
purchased by the Underwriters and all or any part of the 750,000 shares of
Common Stock subject to the option described in Section 2(c) hereof (the "Option
Shares") are hereinafter called, collectively, the "Shares". The Shares are more
fully described in the Prospectus referred to below.
The price to the public per share and the purchase price per share for
the Shares shall be agreed upon by the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the
Underwriters, and such agreement shall be set forth in a separate written
instrument substantially in the form of Schedule B hereto (the "Price
Determination Agreement"). The Price Determination Agreement may take the form
of an exchange of any standard form of written telecommunication between the
Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters and shall specify such
applicable information as is indicated in Schedule B hereto. The offering of the
Shares will be governed by this Underwriting Agreement, as supplemented by the
Price Determination Agreement. From and after the date of the execution and
delivery of the Price Determination Agreement, this Underwriting Agreement shall
be deemed to incorporate, and all references herein to "this Agreement" shall be
deemed to include, the Price Determination Agreement.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 33-80469),
including a prospectus, relating to certain of its debt and equity securities
(including the Shares) and the offering thereof from time to time in accordance
with Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act").
Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission. As
provided in Section 3(a), a prospectus supplement reflecting the terms of the
offering of the Shares and the other matters set forth therein has been filed
pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act. Such prospectus supplement, is herein
referred to as the "Prospectus Supplement." Such registration statement, as
amended at the date hereof, including the exhibits thereto and the documents
incorporated by reference therein, is herein called the "Registration
Statement", and the base prospectus included therein relating to all offerings
of securities under the Registration Statement, as supplemented by the
Prospectus Supplement, is herein called the "Prospectus".
All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules
and other information which is "contained", "included" or "stated" in the
Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or other
references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements and schedules and other information which is incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus, as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to
amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to mean and include the filing
under the 1934 Act of any document which is
2
incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, such preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be.
SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.
(a) Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company
represents and warrants to the Underwriters as of the date hereof, as of the
Closing Time referred to in Section 2(d) hereof, and as of each Date of Delivery
(if any) (as defined in Section 2(c)) referred to in Section 2(d) hereof, and
agrees with the Underwriters, as follows:
(i) Compliance with Registration Requirements. The Company
meets the requirements for use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, and on
the original effective date of the Registration Statement, on the
effective date of the most recent post-effective amendment thereto, if
any, and on the date of the filing by the Company of any annual report
on Form 10-K after the original filing of the Registration Statement,
the Registration Statement complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the
Commission thereunder (the "1933 Act Regulations"), and did not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading; and on the original effectiveness date of the
Registration Statement, on the date hereof, and at the Closing Time (as
defined below) (and, if any Option Shares are purchased, at the Date of
Delivery), (A) the Registration Statement and any amendments and
supplements thereto comply and will comply in all material respects
with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, (B)
neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment or supplement
thereto includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact
or omits or will omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and
(C) neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto
includes or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

not misleading; provided, however, that the Company makes no
representations or warranties as to statements or omissions made in
reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by or on behalf of you, expressly for use in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus.
Each preliminary prospectus and the prospectus filed as part
of the Registration Statement as originally filed or as part of any
amendment thereto, or filed pursuant to Rule 424 under the 1933 Act,
complied when so filed in all material respects with the 1933 Act
Regulations and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus
delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with this offering
was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed
with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the extent permitted
by Regulation S-T.

deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
and the Prospectus, when they became effective or at the time they were

all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the
1933 Act Regulations or the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of
the Commission thereunder (the "1934 Act Regulations"), as applicable,
and, when read together with the other information in the Prospectus,
at the time the Registration Statement became effective, at the time
the Prospectus was issued and at the Closing Time (and, if any Option
Shares are purchased, at the Date of Delivery), did not and will not
contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading.
(iii) Independent Accountants. The accountants who certified
the financial statements and supporting schedules included in the
Registration Statement are independent public accountants as required
by the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations.
(iv) Financial Statements. The consolidated financial
statements included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus or
incorporated or deemed incorporated therein by reference, together with
the related schedules and notes, present fairly the financial position
of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries at the dates indicated
and the statement of operations, Shareholders' equity and cash flows of
the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods
specified; and said financial statements have been prepared in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")
applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved. The
supporting schedules, if any, included in the Registration Statement
present fairly in accordance with GAAP the information required to be
stated therein. The selected financial data and the summary financial
information included in the Prospectus present fairly the information
shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of
the audited financial statements included in the Registration
Statement.
(v) No Material Adverse Change in Business. Since the
respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (A)
there has been no material adverse change in the condition, financial
or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business
prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business
(a "Material Adverse Effect"), (B) there have been no transactions
entered into by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than
those in the ordinary course of business, which are material with
respect to the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, and (C) there has been no dividend or distribution of any
kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of its capital
4
stock other than a dividend paid in kind on February 28, 2000, to the
holders of the Company's 7 3/4% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
(vi) Good Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly
organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware and has corporate power and

business as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform
its obligations under this Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified
as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing
in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required,
whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the
conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in
good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(vii) Good Standing of Significant Subsidiaries. Each
"significant subsidiary" of the Company (as such term is defined in
Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) (each, a "Significant Subsidiary" and,
collectively, the "Significant Subsidiaries") has been duly organized
and is validly existing as a corporation or a limited liability
company, as the case may be, in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation, has corporate power and authority to

such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or
leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the
failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result in a
Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in the
Registration Statement, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock
of each such Significant Subsidiary has been duly authorized and
validly issued, and, in the case of subsidiaries that are corporations,
is fully paid and non-assessable and is owned by the Company, directly
or through subsidiaries, free and clear of any security interest,
mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance, claim or equity other than those
granted to the Company's lenders pursuant to the terms of that certain
Credit Agreement, dated July 2, 1998, among the Company, as Borrower,
Chase Securities, Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Credit Partners L.P. and TD
Securities (USA), Inc., as Arrangers, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Sachs Credit Partners
L.P., as Syndication Agent, Toronto Dominion (Texas), Inc., as

Subsidiaries listed on Schedule C to this agreement.

capital stock of the Company, including the Shares to be purchased by
the Underwriters from the Selling
5
Shareholder, have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully
paid and non-assessable; no holder thereof is or will be subject to
personal liability by reason of being such a holder; and none of the

duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.
(x) Authorization and Description of Shares. The Shares to
be sold by the Company and the Selling Shareholder have been duly
authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable; no
holder thereof is or will be subject to personal liability solely by
reason of being such a holder.
(xi) Absence of Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of its charter or by-laws
or in default in the performance or observance of any obligation,
agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other
agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound, or to which any
of the property or assets of the Company or any subsidiary is subject
(collectively, "Agreements and Instruments"), except for such defaults
that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement
(including the issuance and sale of the Shares) and compliance by the
Company with its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action and do not and will not, whether with or
without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with
or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as defined
below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any
subsidiary pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such
conflicts, breaches or defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances that
would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action
result in any violation of (i) the provisions of the charter or by-laws
of the Company or any subsidiary or (ii) except for such violations
that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, any applicable law,
statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any
government, government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign,
having jurisdiction over the Company or any subsidiary or any of their
assets, properties or operations. As used herein, a "Repayment Event"
means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note,
debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on
such holder's behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption
or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or
any subsidiary.
6
(xii) Absence of Labor Dispute. No labor dispute with the
employees of the Company or any subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge
of the Company, is imminent, and the Company is not aware of any
existing or imminent labor disturbance by the employees of any of its
or any subsidiary's principal suppliers, manufacturers, customers or
contractors, which, in either case, may reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(xiii) Absence of Proceedings. Except as set forth in the
Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or
investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or
body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge of the
Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any
subsidiary, which is required to be disclosed in the Registration
Statement (other than as disclosed therein), or which might reasonably
be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which might
reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
properties or assets thereof or the consummation of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement or the performance by the Company of its
obligations hereunder. The aggregate of all pending legal or
governmental proceedings to which the Company or any subsidiary is a
party or of which any of their respective property or assets is the
subject which are not described in the Registration Statement,
including ordinary routine litigation incidental to the business, could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

documents which are required to be described in the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus or the documents incorporated by reference
therein or to be filed as exhibits thereto which have not been so
described and filed as required.

procedures), trademarks, service marks, trade names or other
intellectual property (collectively, "Intellectual Property") necessary
to carry on the business now operated by them, and neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries has received any notice or is otherwise
aware of any infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others
with respect to any Intellectual Property or of any facts or
circumstances which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or
inadequate to protect the interest of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries therein, and which infringement or conflict (if the
subject of any unfavorable decision, ruling or finding) or invalidity
or inadequacy, singly or in the aggregate, would result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
(xvi) Absence of Further Requirements. Except as described
in the Prospectus, no filing with, or authorization, approval, consent,
license, order, registration,
7
qualification or decree of, any court or governmental authority or
agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of
its obligations hereunder in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as have
already been obtained or as may be required under the 1933 Act or the
1933 Act Regulations or state securities laws.
(xvii) Possession of Licenses and Permits. Except as set forth
in the Prospectus, the Company and its subsidiaries possess such
permits, licenses, approvals, consents and other authorizations
(collectively, "Governmental Licenses") issued by the appropriate
federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies
necessary to conduct the business now operated by them; the Company and
its subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms and conditions of all
such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would
not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; all of
the Governmental Licenses are valid and in full force and effect,
except when the invalidity of such Governmental Licenses or the failure
of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect would not
have a Material Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any of its
subsidiaries has received any notice of proceedings relating to the
revocation or modification of any such Governmental Licenses which,
singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding, would result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(xviii) Title to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries
have good and marketable title to all real property owned by the
Company and its subsidiaries and good title to all other properties
owned by them, in each case, free and clear of all mortgages, pledges,
liens, security interests, claims, restrictions or encumbrances of any
kind except such as (a) are described in the Prospectus or (b) do not,
singly or in the aggregate, materially affect the value of such
property and do not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made
of such property by the Company or any of its subsidiaries; all of the
leases and subleases material to the business of the Company and its
subsidiaries, considered as one enterprise, and under which the Company
or any of its subsidiaries holds properties described in the
Prospectus, are in full force and effect; and neither the Company nor
any subsidiary has any notice of any material claim of any sort that
has been asserted by anyone adverse to the rights of the Company or any
subsidiary under any of the leases or subleases mentioned above, or
affecting or questioning the rights of the Company or such subsidiary
to the continued possession of the leased or subleased premises under
any such lease or sublease.

8
indirectly controlled by, or acting on behalf of any person which is,
an "investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company

Prospectus, there are no persons with registration rights or other
similar rights to have any securities registered pursuant to the
Registration Statement.

will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that
might be reasonably expected to, cause or result in stabilization or
manipulation of the price of the Common Stock.
(xxii) Environmental Laws. Except as described in the
Registration Statement and except as would not, singly or in the
aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect, (A) neither the Company
nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any federal, state,
local or foreign statute, law, rule, regulation, ordinance, code,
policy or rule of common law or any judicial or administrative
interpretation thereof, including any judicial or administrative order,
consent, decree or judgment, relating to pollution or protection of
human health, the environment (including, without limitation, ambient
air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata) or
wildlife, including, without limitation, laws and regulations relating
to the release or threatened release of chemicals, pollutants,
contaminants, wastes, toxic substances, hazardous substances, petroleum
or petroleum products (collectively, "Hazardous Materials") or to the
manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials (collectively,
"Environmental Laws"), (B) the Company and its subsidiaries have all
permits, authorizations and approvals required under any applicable
Environmental Laws and are each in compliance with their requirements,
(C) there are no pending or threatened administrative, regulatory or
judicial actions, suits, demands, demand letters, claims, liens,
notices of noncompliance or violation, investigation or proceedings
relating to any Environmental Law against the Company or any of its
subsidiaries and (D) there are no events or circumstances that might
reasonably be expected to form the basis of an order for clean-up or
remediation, or an action, suit or proceeding by any private party or
governmental body or agency, against or affecting the Company or any of
its subsidiaries relating to Hazardous Materials or any Environmental
Laws.
(xxiii) Year 2000. The Company has reviewed its operations and
those of its subsidiaries to evaluate the extent to which the business
or operations of the Company or its subsidiaries have been or will be
affected by the Year 2000 Problem (as defined below). As a result of
such review, (A) the Company has identified and resolved all Year 2000
problems, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material
Adverse Effect; and (B) the Company believes that the suppliers,
vendors, customers or other material third parties used or served by
the Company and its subsidiaries have adequately
9
addressed the Year 2000 Problem, except to the extent that a failure to
do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect. "Year 2000 Problem"
means any significant risk that the Company's computer hardware or
software applications and those of its subsidiaries (or of any
suppliers, vendors, customers or other material third parties) will
not, in the case of dates or time periods occurring after December 31,
1999, function at least as effectively as in the case of dates or time
periods occurring prior to January 1, 2000.
(b) Representations and Warranties by the Selling Shareholder. The
Selling Shareholder represents and warrants to the Underwriters as of the date
hereof, as of the Closing Time, and agrees with the Underwriters, as follows:
(i) Accurate Disclosure. To the knowledge of the Selling
Shareholder, the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in Section 1(a) hereof are true and correct; the Selling
Shareholder has reviewed and is familiar with the Registration

amendments or supplements thereto includes any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading; and the Selling Shareholder is
not prompted to sell the Initial Shares to be sold by the Selling
Shareholder hereunder by any information concerning the Company or any

hereunder have been duly authorized by the Selling Shareholder and do
not and will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or
passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or

lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Initial Shares to be sold by the
Selling Shareholder or any property or assets of the Selling
Shareholder pursuant to any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, loan or credit agreement, note, license, lease or other
agreement or instrument to which the Selling Shareholder is a party or
by which the Selling Shareholder may be bound, or to which any of the

by-laws or other organizational instrument of the Selling Shareholder,
if applicable, or any applicable treaty, law, statute, rule,
regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government,
government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having

interest, mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance
of any kind.
(iv) Absence of Manipulation. The Selling Shareholder has
not taken and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action which
is designed to cause or which has constituted or which might reasonably
be expected to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the
price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale
of the Shares.
(v) Absence of Further Requirements. No filing with, or
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration, qualification or
decree of, any court or governmental authority or agency, domestic or
foreign, is necessary or required for the performance by the Selling
Shareholder of its obligations hereunder or in connection with the sale
and delivery of the Initial Shares hereunder or the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except such as may have
previously been made or obtained or as may be required under the 1933
Act or the 1933 Act Regulations or state securities laws.

securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not
apply to the Initial Shares to be sold hereunder.
(vii) Certificates Suitable for Transfer. Certificates for

pursuant to this Agreement are in suitable form for
11
transfer by delivery to the Underwriters at the Closing Time or the

(viii) No Association with NASD. Neither the Selling
Shareholder nor any of its affiliates directly, or indirectly through
one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under

Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.), any member firm of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
(c) Officer's Certificates. Any certificate signed by any officer of
the Company or any of its subsidiaries delivered to the Underwriters or to
counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by
the Company to the Underwriters as to the matters covered thereby; and any

Section 9 or 10), or at such other time not more than ten full business days
thereafter as you, the Company and the Selling Shareholders shall determine

SECTION 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with the
Underwriters as follows:
(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission
Requests. The Company, subject to Section 3(b), will notify the
Underwriters immediately, and confirm the notice in writing, (A) when
any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement shall become
effective, or any supplement to the Prospectus, any amended Prospectus
or any document that would as a result thereof be incorporated by
reference in the Prospectus shall have been filed, (B) of the receipt
of any comments from the Commission, (C) of any request by the
Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or any
amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or for additional
information, and (D) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of
any order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary
prospectus, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for
any of such purposes. The Company will promptly effect the filings
necessary pursuant to Rule 424(b) and will take such steps as it deems
necessary to ascertain promptly whether the form of prospectus
transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the
Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file
such prospectus. The Company will make every reasonable effort to
prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is
issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(b) Filing of Amendments. The Company will give the
Underwriters notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment
to the Registration Statement or any amendment, supplement or revision
to either the prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the
time it became effective or to the Prospectus, whether pursuant to the
1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, and will furnish the Underwriters
with copies of any such documents a reasonable amount of time prior to
such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or
use any such document to which the Underwriters or counsel for the
Underwriters shall object.
(c) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has
furnished or will deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ and counsel for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇, without charge, signed copies of the Registration Statement as
originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits
filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents
incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) and
signed copies of all consents and certificates of experts, and will
also deliver to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, without charge, a conformed copy of the
Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment
thereto (without exhibits) for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇. The copies of the
Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇ will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies
thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to ▇▇▇▇▇, except to the
extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

1933 Act. The Company will furnish to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, without charge,

Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Shares, any event
shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriters or for the
Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the
Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue
statements of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the
light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to a
purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel,
at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend or
supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of
the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, the Company will promptly
prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(b), such

or omission or to make the Registration Statement or the Prospectus
comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the
Underwriters such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as
the Underwriters may reasonably request.
(f) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports
pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally

(g) State Securities Laws. The Company will use its best
efforts, in cooperation with the Underwriters, to qualify the Shares
for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such
states and other jurisdictions as you may designate and to maintain

from the date hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to
qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer
15
in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to
subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any
jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will
file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each
jurisdiction in which the Shares have been qualified as above provided.
The Company will also supply you with such information as is necessary
for the determination of the legality of the Shares for investment
under the laws of such jurisdictions as you may request.
(h) Listing. The Company will use its best efforts to effect
and maintain the quotation of the Shares on the Nasdaq National Market
and will file with the Nasdaq National Market all documents and notices
required by the Nasdaq National Market of companies that have
securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market and
quotations for which are reported by the Nasdaq National Market.

other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part,
directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the
Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause
(i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such
other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall
not apply to (A) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (B) any shares of
Common Stock issued by the Company upon the exercise of an option or
warrant or the conversion of a security outstanding on the date hereof
and referred to in the Prospectus, (C) any shares of Common Stock

prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), a copy of
which written information shall have been previously delivered to you), agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters and each person, if any, who
controls the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act as
follows:
(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule
430A Information, and all documents incorporated therein by reference,
or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading or arising out of an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact included in any preliminary
prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto)
or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any
claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or
any such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is
effected with the written consent of the Company and the Selling
Shareholder; and
21
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including, subject to Section 7(c) hereof, reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel chosen by you), reasonably incurred in
investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or
investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body,
commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such
untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or
omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under
subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement does not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue

upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Underwriters expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, or any preliminary prospectus or
the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); provided further that
the foregoing indemnification with respect to any preliminary prospectus shall
not inure to the benefit of the Underwriters (or any person controlling such
Underwriters) from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities purchased any of the Shares if a copy of the Prospectus (as then
amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or
supplements thereto) was not sent or given by or on behalf of the Underwriters
to such person, if such is required by law, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Shares to such person and if the Prospectus (as
so amended or supplemented) would have cured the defect giving rise to such
loss, claim, damage or liability; and provided further that the liability of the
Selling Shareholder pursuant to this Section 6 is limited to the amount of the
net proceeds of the offering of the Shares (after deducting the underwriting
discount, but before deducting expenses) received by such Selling Shareholder.

liabilities under the 1933 Act of any person who is a partner of the
Underwriters or who controls the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act and who, at the date of this Agreement, is a director or officer
of the Company or controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the

in the Registration Statement under Item 17 thereof.
(b) The Underwriters agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration
Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and the Selling Shareholder and each person, if
any, who controls the Selling Shareholder within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
described in the indemnity agreement in Section 6(a), as incurred, but only with
respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or
omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto),
including the Rule 430A Information, or any preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in
22
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Underwriters
expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto),
including the Rule 430A Information, or such preliminary prospectus or the
Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent
permitted by law, the Selling Shareholder, its directors and officers or general

1933 Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or
several, and expenses (including any amounts paid in any settlement effected
with the Company's consent) to which the Selling Shareholder, any such director
of officer or general or limited partner or controlling person may become
subject under the 1933 Act, common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, and all documents
incorporated therein by reference, or the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, together
with the documents incorporated by reference therein (as amended or supplemented
if the Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment thereof or
supplement thereto), if used prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement, or contained in the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the
Company shall have filed with the Commission any amendment or supplement
thereto), or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading or (iii) any violation by the Company of any federal, state or common
law rule or regulation applicable to the Company and relating to action required
of or inaction by the Company in connection with the offering, and the Company
will reimburse the Selling Shareholder and each such director, officer, general
or limited partner, and controlling person for any legal or any other expenses
reasonably incurred by any of them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, liability, action or proceeding; provided that the Company
shall not be liable to the Selling Shareholder or any such director, officer,
general or limited partner or controlling person in any such case to the extent
that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect
thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such
Registration Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including the
Rule 430A Information, or in any such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus
(or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Selling
Shareholder or any such director, officer, general or limited partner or
controlling person, specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation
thereof.
23
(d) The Selling Shareholder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (in
the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 6(c)) the Company
and its directors and officers and each person controlling the Company within
the meaning of the 1933 Act with respect to any statement or alleged statement
in or omission or alleged omission from the Registration Statement (or any
amendment or supplement thereto), including the Rule 430A Information, any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto), if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission
was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished
to the Company or its representatives by or on behalf of the Underwriters
specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of the Registration
Statement (or any amendment or supplement thereto), including the Rule 430A
Information, preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto), or a document incorporated by reference into any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that the liability of the Selling Shareholder
pursuant to this Section 6(d) is limited to the proceeds received by the Selling
Shareholder from the sale of the Shares pursuant to this Agreement. Such
indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation
made by or on behalf of the Company or any of its respective directors,
officers, general or limited partners or controlling persons and shall survive
the transfer of the Shares by the Selling Shareholder.
(e) Each indemnified party shall give prompt notice to each
indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which
indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than
on account of this indemnity agreement. An indemnifying party may participate at
its own expense in the defense of such action. In no event shall the
indemnifying party or parties be liable for the fees and expenses of more than
one counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or
separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances. If it so elects within a
reasonable time after receipt of such notice, an indemnifying party, jointly
with any other indemnifying parties receiving such notice, may assume the
defense of such action with counsel chosen by it and approved by the indemnified
parties defendant in such action, unless such indemnified parties reasonably
object to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal defenses
available to them which are different from or are in addition to those available
to such indemnifying party. If an indemnifying party assumes the defense of such
action, the indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any fees and expenses
of counsel for the indemnified parties incurred thereafter in connection with
such action.
SECTION 7. Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances under which the indemnity provided for in Section
6 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties although
applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company, the Selling Shareholder
and the Underwriters shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity
incurred by the Company, the Selling Shareholder and the Underwriters, as
incurred, in such proportions
24
that (a) the Underwriters is responsible for that portion represented by the
percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the
Prospectus, bears to the offering price appearing thereon and (b) the Company
and the Selling Shareholder are severally responsible for the balance on the
same basis as each of them would have been obligated to provide indemnification
pursuant to Section 6; provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person, if any, who
controls the Underwriters within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall
have the same rights to contribution as the Underwriters, and each director of
the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement,
and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Selling Shareholder
within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company or the Selling Shareholder, as the case may be.
SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. The representations, warranties, indemnities, agreements and other
statements of the Selling Shareholder and the Company or their respective
officers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain operative
and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Selling Shareholder, the Company, the Underwriters or any person
who controls the Selling Shareholder, the Company or the Underwriters within the
meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Shares.
SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement. (a) Termination; General. The
Underwriters may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the
Selling Shareholder, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has
been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the respective
dates as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse
change in the condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business
affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as
one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or
(ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets
in the United States, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other
calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change
in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in
each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the
Underwriters, impracticable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the
sale of the Shares, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has
been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the NASDAQ National
Market, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York
Stock Exchange or in the NASDAQ National Market has been suspended or materially
limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum
ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system
or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has
been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.
25
(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this
Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other
party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections
1, 6, 7 and 8 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and
effect.
SECTION 10. Default by the Selling Shareholder or the Company. (a) If
the Selling Shareholder shall fail at Closing Time or at a Date of Delivery to
sell and deliver the number of Shares which the Selling Shareholder is obligated
to sell hereunder, then the Underwriters may, by providing notice to the Company
and the Selling Shareholder, terminate this Agreement without any liability on
the part of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1,
4, 6, 7 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to
this Section shall relieve the Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability
in respect of such default.
In the event of a default by the Selling Shareholder as referred to in
this Section, the Underwriters and the Company shall have the right to postpone
Closing Time or the relevant Date of Delivery for a period not exceeding seven
days in order to effect any required change in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
(b) If the Company shall fail at Closing Time or at a Date of Delivery
to sell the number of Shares that it is obligated to sell hereunder, then this
Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of any
non-defaulting party; provided, however, that the provisions of Sections 1, 4,
6, 7 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect. No action taken pursuant to
this Section shall relieve the Company from liability in respect of such
default.
SECTION 11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder
shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or

Exhibit A
FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY'S COUNSEL
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO
SECTION 5(b)(i)
(i) The Company, based on a certificate of good standing of the State of
Delaware, and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the
laws of the state of Delaware.
(ii) The Company has corporate power and authority to own, lease and
operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the
Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Underwriting
Agreement.
(iii) The Shares to be purchased by the Underwriters from the Company have
been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.
(iv) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company.
(v) The Registration Statement has been declared effective under the
1933 Act; any required filing of the Prospectus pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been
made in the manner and within the time period required by Rule 424(b); and, to
the best of our knowledge, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement has been issued
under the 1933 Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or
are pending or threatened by the Commission.
(vi) The information in the Registration Statement under Item 15, has
been reviewed by us and correctly describes the general effect of Section 102
and Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, and the
Company's charter and by-laws in all material respects.
(vii) To our knowledge, there are no franchises, contracts, indentures,
mortgages, loan agreements, notes, leases or other instruments required to be
described or referred to in the Registration Statement or to be filed as
exhibits thereto other than those described or referred to therein or filed or
incorporated by reference as exhibits thereto, and the descriptions thereof or
references thereto are correct in all material respects.
(viii) To our knowledge neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary
is in violation of its charter or by-laws.
A-1
(ix) To our knowledge, no filing with, or authorization, approval,
consent, license, order, registration or qualification of, any court or
governmental authority or agency, under the law, rules and regulations of the
United States of America or the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware
(other than under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, which have been
obtained, or as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the
various states, and other than the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and the
published rules, regulations, decisions and orders of the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC") thereunder and any consent, approval, license, or
authorization of, or filing with, the FCC pursuant to the Telecommunications Act
of 1934, as to which we express no opinion) is necessary or required in
connection with the due authorization, execution and delivery of the
Underwriting Agreement, the issuance of the Shares by the Company or the
offering, sale or delivery of the Shares by the Underwriters.
(x) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting
Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Shares thereunder and compliance by
the Company with its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement do not and
will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time or both,
(i) conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default or Repayment Event (as
defined in Section 1(a)(xi) of the Underwriting Agreement) under, or result in
the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance on the Company's
credit agreement dated July 2, 1998, the indenture dated November 27, 1997 , the
indenture dated February 28, 1998 or the certificate of designation for the
Series A convertible preferred stock due 2014, or (ii) violate any of the
provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary, or (iii) violate any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation
(other than under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, which have been
obtained, or as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws of the
various states, and other than the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and the
published rules, regulations, decisions and orders of the FCC thereunder and any
consent, approval, license, or authorization of, or filing with, the FCC
pursuant to the Telecommunications Act of 1934, as to which we express no
opinion), judgment, order, writ or decree, known to us, of any government,
government instrumentality or court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction
over the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their respective
properties, assets or operations. We do not express any opinion, however, as to
whether the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the
Underwriting Agreement will constitute a violation of or a default under any
covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial ratios or tests or
any aspect of the financial condition or results of operations of the Company
and its subsidiaries.
(xi) The Company is not an "investment company" or an entity "controlled"
by an "investment company", as such terms are defined in the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇.
(xii) The statements made in the Prospectus under the caption "Certain
United States Federal Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders", insofar as such
statements constitute a summary of the law, accurately describe the material
U.S. federal income and estate tax
A-2
consequences of the ownership and disposition of the common stock by Non-U.S.
Holders subject to the qualifications contained therein.
Nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that (x)
the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, at the time it became
effective, or the Prospectus at the Closing Time or any supplement thereto,
excluding the documents incorporated, in such Registration Statement and
Prospectus by reference (in each case except for the financial statements and
other information of a statistical accounting, or financial nature included
therein, as to which no view need be expressed) were not appropriately
responsive in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act
and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, (y) the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, and the
Company's current report on Form 8-K filed on January 18, 2000, which have been
incorporated by reference in the Prospectus (except for financial statements and
supporting schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by
reference therein or omitted therefrom, as to which no view need be expressed),
when they were filed with the Commission were not appropriately responsive in
all material respects to the requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder, or (z) the Registration Statement at
the time such Registration Statement became effective (except for financial
statements and supporting schedules and other financial data included or
incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, as to which no view need
be expressed) contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to
state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus at the Closing Time
(except for financial statements and supporting schedules and other financial
data included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, as to
which no view need be expressed), included or includes an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.
In rendering such opinion, such counsel may rely, as to matters of fact
(but not as to legal conclusions), to the extent they deem proper, on
certificates of responsible officers of the Company and public officials. Such
opinion shall not state that it is to be governed or qualified by, or that it is
otherwise subject to, any treatise, written policy or other document relating to
legal opinions, including, without limitation, the Legal Opinion Accord of the
ABA Section of Business Law (1991).

Exhibit B
FORM OF REGULATORY OPINION
TO BE DELIVERED BY ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇,
GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b)(ii)
(i) The Company's respective subsidiaries are duly authorized by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to hold the licenses identified in
Schedule E (the "Licenses"). The Licenses are in full force and effect and have
not been revoked, suspended, canceled or modified in any adverse way and, except
as set forth on Schedule E hereto, are not subject to any conditions or
requirements that are not generally imposed by the FCC upon the holders of such
licenses.
(ii) The Company has paid all fees and has made all reports and
filings, including tariffs applicable to its interstate service, required by the
FCC for the conduct of its businesses in the manner described in the Prospectus,
no further FCC authorizations are required by the Company to conduct its
business as described in the Prospectus, and there are no complaints,
investigations, protests, proceedings or petitions outstanding or to our
knowledge threatened at or by the FCC, formal or informal, against the Company
or its subsidiaries or the Licenses or any adverse judgments, decrees,
injunctions, or published orders of any court or the FCC naming the Company or
its subsidiaries that are likely to result in the revocation, suspension,
termination, non-renewal or material adverse modification of the Licenses or
prevent the Company or its subsidiaries from conducting its current business as
described in the Prospectus.
(iii) The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreements and the
consummation of the Offerings (as such terms are defined in the Prospectus) as
contemplated by the Prospectus do not violate the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and, where applicable, the
published rules and regulations, decisions and orders of the FCC in effect on
the date hereof ("Communications Act").
(iv) All required governmental approvals, i.e, any consent, approval,
license or authorization of or filing with the FCC pursuant to the
Communications Act, have been obtained in connection with the consummation of
the Offerings and such consummation will not cause any cancellation,
termination, revocation, forfeiture or material impairment of any of the
Licenses or prevent the Company or its subsidiaries from conducting its current
business as described in the Prospectus.
B-1
(v) The statements in the Prospectus insofar as such statements
constitute a summary of the rules, regulations, or proceedings of the FCC
conform in all material respects with such rules, regulations, or proceedings.
B-2
Exhibit C
OPINION OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b)(ii)
(i) (A) The execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by
the Company and the issue and sale of the Class A Common Stock contemplated
thereby, respectively, do not violate (1) the law, i.e. the rules, regulations
and applicable statutes governing the provision of telecommunications services,
of any State, or (2) any decree from any court, and (B) no authorizations of or
filings with any State regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
telecommunications services provided by the Company or its subsidiaries are
necessary for the execution and delivery of the Underwriting Agreement by the
Company and the sale of the Class A Common Stock contemplated thereby,
respectively.
(ii) The Company has made all reports and filings and paid all fees
required by Law except where the failure to make such report or filing or pay
such fee would have no material adverse effect upon the prospects, condition,
financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business, or operations of the
Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, and the Company has obtained all
certificates, orders, permits, licenses, authorizations, consents, and approvals
(collectively, "State Authorizations") from State regulatory authorities
necessary to conduct its current business as described in the Prospectus. The
Company has all necessary authorizations and/or tariffs on file in the States
and no further authority is required to be obtained by the Company from any such
State or any other state to conduct its telecommunications business as described
in the Prospectus.
(iii) The Company has not received any notice of proceedings relating
to the revocation or modification of any such State Authorizations, the effect
of which singly or in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect on the
prospects, condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business, or
operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(iv) (A) No decree or order of any State regulatory authority is
outstanding against the Company or its subsidiaries, and (B) no litigation,
proceeding, inquiry, or investigation has been commenced or threatened, and no
notice of violation or order to show cause has been issued, against the Company
or its subsidiaries before any State regulatory authority.
(v) The Company is conducting its business in accordance with its
State Authorizations, where applicable, and is not in violation of, or in
default under, any Law, the effect of which, singly or in the aggregate, would
have a material adverse effect on the prospects,
C-1
condition, financial or otherwise, or on the earnings, business, or operations
of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(vi) The Company is conducting its business as described in the
Prospectus in part pursuant to licenses issued by the Federal Communications
Commission to the Company's subsidiaries (the "Licenses"). The Company is not in
violation of, or in default under, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
including the Telecommunications Act of 1996, or of the conditions of any of the
Licenses, the effect of which, singly or in the aggregate, would have a material
adverse effect on the prospects, condition, financial or otherwise, or on the
earnings, business, or operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a
whole.
(vii) The statements set forth in the Prospectus, insofar as such

Exhibit D
OPINION OF ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇
GENERAL COUNSEL TO THE COMPANY
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(b)(ii)
(i) The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is
duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and to my knowledge
is in good standing or similar status, in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of
property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or
to be in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) Each of the Significant Subsidiaries of the Company listed on
Schedule C of the Underwriting Agreement (the "Significant Subsidiaries") has
been duly formed or incorporated, as applicable, and is validly existing and in
good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation. Based on my
review of the good standing certificates for all Significant Subsidiaries other
than Associated Communications of Deutschland GmbH, as to which I express no
opinion, (A) each of the Significant Subsidiaries is qualified or otherwise has
authority to do business and is in good standing or similar status, as a
corporation or limited liability company, as applicable, under the laws of each
Significant Subsidiaries' state of incorporation, and (B) each of such
Significant Subsidiaries has the corporate or limited liability company power
and authority, as applicable, to conduct its business as required and to own or
lease property. The outstanding equity interests or shares of capital stock, as
applicable, of each Significant Subsidiary have been duly authorized and, in the
case of Significant Subsidiaries that are corporations, are validly issued,
fully paid and non-assessable and, to my knowledge, are owned by the Company,
directly or indirectly, free and clear of any security interest, lien, pledge or
encumbrance other than pursuant to the Company's credit agreement dated July 2,
1998; to my knowledge, none of the outstanding shares of capital stock or
members' interests, as applicable, of any Significant Subsidiary was issued in
violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any stockholder or
member, as applicable. The only "significant subsidiaries" of the Company (as
such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) are the Significant
Subsidiaries listed on Schedule C of the Underwriting Agreement.
(iii) The Company has the corporate power and corporate authority to
own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described
in the Prospectus and to perform all of its obligations under the Underwriting
Agreement.
(iv) To my knowledge except as set forth in the Prospectus, there is
not any pending or any threatened action, suit or proceeding to which the
Company or any subsidiary is a party, or to which the property of the Company or
any subsidiary is subject, before or brought
D-1
by any governmental agency or body which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect or which could reasonably be expected to materially and
adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and
the Company's obligations hereunder.
(v) The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company as of December 31, 1999 is as set forth in the Prospectus in the column
entitled "Historical" under the caption "Capitalization" (except for subsequent
issuances, if any, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or pursuant to
reservations, agreements or employee benefit plans referred to in the Prospectus
or pursuant to the exercise of convertible securities or options referred to in
the Prospectus); the shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of the
Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and
non-assessable; and none of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the
Company was issued in violation of the preemptive or other similar rights of any
security holder of the Company.
(vi) The Shares issued and sold by the Company have been duly
authorized by the Company and, when delivered to and paid for by the
Underwriters in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, will be
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. To my knowledge, the Shares are
not subject to the preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the
Company.
(vii) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by the Company.
(viii) The execution and delivery by the Company of the Underwriting
Agreement, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder in
accordance with its terms, do not (i) constitute a violation of or a default
under any contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit
agreement, note or lease material to the business or financial condition of the
Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole and which have been filed as
exhibits to the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1999, other than the Company's credit agreement dated July 2, 1998, the
indenture dated November 27, 1997, the indenture dated February 28, 1998 and
the certificate of designation for the Series A convertible preferred stock due
2014 as to which I express no opinion ("Applicable Contracts"), or (ii) cause
the creation of any security interest or lien upon any of the property of the
Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to any Applicable Contract. I do not express
any opinion, however, as to whether the execution, delivery or performance by
the Company of the Underwriting Agreement will constitute a violation of or a
default under any covenant, restriction or provision with respect to financial
ratios or tests or any aspect of the financial condition or results of
operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries.
(ix) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of
the Underwriting Agreement nor the consummation by the Company of the
transactions
D-2
contemplated therein will contravene any provision of any Applicable Law (as
hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term "Applicable Laws" means the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and the laws, rules and
regulations of the United States of America that, in my experience, are normally
applicable to transactions of the type contemplated by the Underwriting
Agreement; provided, however, that such term does not include securities laws of
any jurisdiction or the rules and regulations of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc.
(x) To my knowledge, except such as have been obtained, no
authorization, approval, consent or order of any court or governmental authority
or agency is legally required to be obtained by the Company under Applicable
Laws in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of the
Underwriting Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations
thereunder (other than under the 1933 Act and the 1933 Act Regulations, which
have been obtained, or as may be required under the securities or blue sky laws
of the various states, and other than the Telecommunications Act of 1996, and
the published rules, regulations, decisions and orders of the Federal
Communications Commission (the "FCC") thereunder and any consent, approval,
license, or authorization of, or filing with, the FCC pursuant to the
Telecommunications Act of 1934, as amended, as to which I express no opinion),
except that I do not express any opinion as to any such authorization, approval,
consent or order which may have become applicable to the Company as a result of
the involvement of the Underwriters in the transactions contemplated by the
Underwriting Agreement because of their legal or regulatory status or because of
any other facts specifically pertaining to them.
(xi) To my knowledge, no default by the Company or any subsidiary
exists in the due performance or observance of any material obligation,
agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage,
loan agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument that is described
or referred to in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or filed or
incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, except
any default that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(xii) To my knowledge, there are no statutes, regulations, contracts or
other documents that are material to the Company that are required to be
described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or to be filed or
incorporated by reference as exhibits to the Registration Statement that are not
described, filed or incorporated as required.
(xiii) To my knowledge, except as described in the Prospectus, there are
no persons with registration rights to have any securities registered pursuant
to the Registration Statement.

Exhibit E
FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE SELLING SHAREHOLDER
TO BE DELIVERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 5(c)
(i) No filing with, or consent, approval, authorization, license,
order, registration, qualification or decree of, any court or governmental
authority or agency, domestic or foreign, (other than the issuance of the order
of the Commission declaring the Registration Statement effective and such
authorizations, approvals or consents as may be necessary under state securities
laws, as to which we need express no opinion) is necessary or required to be
obtained by the Selling Shareholder for the performance by the Selling
Shareholder of its obligations under the Underwriting Agreement or in the Power
of Attorney and Custody Agreement, or in connection with the offer, sale or
delivery of the Shares.
(ii) The Underwriting Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
delivered by or on behalf of the Selling Shareholder.
(iii) The execution, delivery and performance of the Underwriting
Agreement and the Power and the sale and delivery of the Shares and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated in the Underwriting Agreement and
in the Registration Statement and compliance by the Selling Shareholder with its
obligations under the Underwriting Agreement have been duly authorized by all
necessary action on the part of the Selling Shareholder and do not and will not,
whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both,
conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default under or result in the
creation or imposition of any tax, lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Shares
or any property or assets of the Selling Shareholder pursuant to, any contract,
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, license,
lease or other instrument or agreement to which the Selling Shareholder is a
party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of the property or assets of
the Selling Shareholder may be subject, nor will such action result in any
violation of the provisions of the charter or by-laws of the Selling Shareholder
, if applicable, or any law, administrative regulation, judgment or order of any
governmental agency or body or any administrative or court decree having
jurisdiction over the Selling Shareholder or any of its properties.
(iv) To the best of our knowledge, the Selling Shareholder has valid
and marketable title to the Shares to be sold by the Selling Shareholder
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, free and clear of any pledge, lien,
security interest, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance of any kind, and has
full right, power and authority to sell, transfer and deliver such Shares
pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. By delivery of a certificate or
certificates therefor the Selling Shareholder will transfer to the Underwriters
(without notice of any defect in the title of the Selling Shareholder and who is
otherwise a bona fide purchaser for purposes of the Uniform
E-1
Commercial Code) valid and marketable title to such Shares, free and clear of
any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity or encumbrance of any
kind.
Nothing has come to our attention that would lead us to believe that the
Registration Statement or any amendment thereto (except for financial statements
and schedules and other financial data included or incorporated by reference
therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need make no statement), at the
time such Registration Statement or any such amendment became effective,
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading or that the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
(except for financial statements and schedules and other financial data included
or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom, as to which we need
make no statement), at the time the Prospectus was issued, at the time any such
amended or supplemented prospectus was issued or at the Closing Time, included
or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state
a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
