If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (i) elects to make an Asset Sale on such terms as it may determine in its sole discretion and (ii) further elects to offer to purchase the Notes with any or all of the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale (the "Net Proceeds Offer"), the Company shall offer to purchase Notes having an aggregate principal amount equal to the Net Proceeds of such Asset Sale that the Company elects to apply to the purchase of Notes (the "Purchase Amount"), at a purchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the purchase date. The Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days and no longer, unless a longer period is required by law (the "Net Proceeds Offer Period").

The Net Proceeds Offer shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including (without limitation), Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act and the rules thereunder and all other applicable Federal and state securities laws. The Company shall commence the Net Proceeds Offer by mailing to the Trustee and each Holder, at such Holder's last registered address, a notice, which shall govern the terms of the Net Proceeds Offer, and shall state: (1) that the Net Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.10, the principal amount of Notes which shall be accepted for payment and that all Notes validly tendered shall be accepted for payment on a pro rata basis; (2) the purchase price and the date of purchase; (3) that any Notes not tendered or accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall continue to accrue interest; (4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the purchase price with respect to any Notes tendered, Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Net Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Net Proceeds Payment Date; (5) that Holders electing to have Notes purchased pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer shall be required to surrender their Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Company prior to the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Net Proceeds Payment Date; 4 (6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day preceding the Net Proceeds Payment Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of Notes the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Notes purchased; (7) that Holders whose Notes are purchased only in part shall be issued Notes representing the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered; provided that each Note purchased and each new Note issued shall be in principal amount of $1,000 or whole multiples thereof; and (8) the instructions that Holders must follow in order to tender their Notes.

The Company shall make a public announcement of the results of the Net Proceeds Offer as soon as practicable after the Net Proceeds Payment Date. For the purposes of this Section 4.10, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. (c) Section 4.12 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: Section 4.12. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any asset (real, personal, tangible or intangible) now owned or hereafter acquired, or on any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, except (i) Liens on Accounts and Inventory and the proceeds thereof (and contract rights and general intangibles relating thereto and any other Mutual Collateral (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)), (ii) Purchase Money Liens and (iii) Permitted Liens. (b) Anything in the Security Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company and its Subsidiaries may grant Liens in accordance with this Section 4.12; provided, that no such Lien shall affect the attachment, perfection or priority of the Lien of the Security Documents. Subject to the foregoing, upon receipt of a written notice from the Company or a pledging Subsidiary or another 5 secured party stating that Collateral is subject to a security interest under a security agreement executed by the pledgor which contains a description of the security, the Trustee shall execute appropriate instruments acknowledging that such Collateral is subject to such other security interest. (d) Section 4.17 is hereby amended by deleting the following clause which begins at the end of the twenty-first line thereof and ends on the twenty-fourth line thereof: "and such Person shall be permitted by virtue of its Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio to incur, immediately after giving effect to such acquisition, at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.9(a) of this Indenture."

(g) Section 8.1 of the Indenture is hereby amended by (i) deleting the words "(as certified by a nationally recognized accounting firm designated by the Company)" on the sixth and seventh lines of Section 8.1(1) and inserting therefor the words "(as certified by an Officers' Certificate delivered by the Company)", (ii) inserting the word "and" after Section 8.1(1), (iii) deleting Sections 8.1(2) and 8.1(3) and (iv) deleting the first sentence of the paragraph immediately following 8.1(4) which begins with the words "Then, this Indenture" and replacing it with a new sentence which shall read as follows: Then, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as provided in this paragraph), and the Trustee, on demand of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging confirmation of and discharge under this Indenture in the case of clause (A) above, and the Company's ability not to comply with restrictive covenants and related Events of Default in the case of clause (B) above, and, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, the release of the Liens created under the Security Documents. 6 ARTICLE 2 MISCELLANEOUS Section 2.01.

The amendments set forth in Article 1 shall become operative on the opening of business on the Acceptance Date, as defined in the Company's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated February 2, 1998, relating to the Company's offer to purchase all of the outstanding Notes. Section 2.04. This Fifth Supplemental Indenture shall be construed, interpreted and the rights of the parties determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, as applied to contracts made and performed within the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of law. Section 2.05. This Fifth Supplemental Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same amendment. Section 2.06. The recitals contained in this Supplemental Indenture are made by the Company and not by the Trustee and all of the provisions contained in the Indenture, in respect of the rights, privileges, immunities, powers and duties of the Trustee shall be applicable in respect thereof as fully and with like effect as if set forth herein in full.
