1. Indenture. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes
---------
of Holdings designated as its 11 1/2% Senior Discount Notes Due 2008, Series A
(herein called the "Initial Notes"). The Notes are limited (except as otherwise
provided in the Indenture referred to below) in aggregate principal amount at
maturity to $218,838,000, which may be issued under an indenture (herein called
the "Indenture"), dated as of August 12, 1998, between Holdings and Bank of
Montreal Trust Company, as trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term
includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities
thereunder of Holdings, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The
Notes include the Initial Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted
Notes (including the Exchange Notes referred to below), issued in exchange for
the Initial Notes pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. The Initial
Notes, the Private Exchange Notes and the Unrestricted Notes are treated as a
single class of securities under the Indenture.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the
"TIA"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to this Indenture and the
TIA for a statement of such terms.
No reference herein to this Indenture and no provisions of this Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of Holdings, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.
2. Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in the following
-------------------
paragraph, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of Holdings prior to
August 15, 2003. Thereafter, the Notes will be redeemable, at Holdings' option,
in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's
registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages
of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date
to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date), if redeemed
during the 12-month period commencing on August 15 of the years set forth below:
Redemption
Period Price
------ ----------
2003......................................................................... 105.750%
2004......................................................................... 103.833%
2005......................................................................... 101.917%
2006 and thereafter.......................................................... 100.000%
In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to August 15,
2001, Holdings may redeem in the aggregate up to 35% of the aggregate principal
amount at maturity of the Notes with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public
Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 111 1/2% of their Accreted
Value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, at the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that not less than 65% of
6
the aggregate principal amount at maturity of Notes originally issued must
remain outstanding after each such redemption.
In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any
time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in
compliance with any applicable requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then
listed on a national securities exchange (or if the Notes are so listed but the
exchange does not impose requirements with respect to the selection of debt
securities for redemption), on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the
Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate;
provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount at maturity of $1,000 or
less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall promptly notify Holdings and
the Registrar in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case
of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount at maturity
thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in Accreted Value and principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.

of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, obligations and immunities
thereunder of Holdings, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes, and of the
terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The

single class of securities under the Indenture.
All terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the
Indenture.
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those
made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the
"TIA"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are subject
to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture and the
TIA for a statement of such terms.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of Holdings, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Note at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.
2. Optional Redemption. Except as set forth in the following
-------------------
paragraph, the Notes will not be redeemable at the option of Holdings prior to

in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days' prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder's
registered address, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages
of principal amount), plus accrued and unpaid interest to the Redemption Date
(subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date

amount at maturity of the Notes with the Net Cash Proceeds of one or more Public
Equity Offerings at a redemption price equal to 111 1/2% of their Accreted
Value, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, at the Redemption Date;
provided, however, that not less than 65% of the aggregate principal amount at
maturity of Notes originally issued must remain outstanding after each such
redemption.
In the event that less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any
time, selection of such Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee in
compliance with any applicable requirements of the principal national securities
exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed or, if the Notes are not then
listed on a national securities exchange (or if the Notes are so listed but the
exchange does not impose requirements with respect to the selection
4
of debt securities for redemption), on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such
method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem fair and appropriate;
provided, however, that no Notes of a principal amount at maturity of $1,000 or
less shall be redeemed in part. The Trustee shall promptly notify Holdings and
the Registrar in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case
of any Notes selected for partial redemption, the principal amount at maturity
thereof to be redeemed. A new Note in Accreted Value and principal amount equal
to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the Holder
thereof upon cancellation of the original Note.
