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
