Indebtedness").

holders of the Other Indebtedness, or the trustee in respect thereof, seeks to
accelerate the maturity of any such Other Indebtedness or to enforce or exercise
any remedies in respect thereof.
3. MODIFICATION OF ORIGINAL NOTES.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Notes, the Company and
each Holder hereby agree that the interest on the Notes which is due and payable
on May 1, 2000 (the "May 2000 Interest Payment"), will be deemed to be Defaulted
Interest but will be payable on the earlier of (i) August 1, 2000, or (ii) a
date that is substantially contemporaneous with the amendment of the Other
Indebtedness, as contemplated by the Company's Consent Solicitation Statement
