Net broadcast revenue increased to approximately $54.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $32.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 67%. This increase in net broadcast revenue was the result of continuing broadcast revenue growth in all of the Company's markets in which it has operated for at least one year as the Company benefited from historical ratings increases at certain of its radio stations, improved power ratios at these stations as well as industry growth in each of these markets. Additional revenue gains were derived from the Company's mid-1999 acquisitions in Cleveland and in Richmond (where the Company also operates stations under a time brokerage agreement), as well as the more recent acquisitions of radio stations in Philadelphia, Charlotte, Indianapolis and Augusta, Georgia. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation increased to approximately $17.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $12.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 40%. Operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation increased to approximately $31.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $21.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 48%. This increase in expenses was related to the Company's rapid expansion within all of the markets in which it operates including increased variable costs associated with increased revenue, as well as start-up and expansion expenses in its newer markets as well as higher costs associated with operating as a public company. Broadcast operating income increased to approximately $8.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $4.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 90.5%. Broadcast operating income increased to approximately $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 168.3%. This increase was 11 attributable to proportionately higher revenue as described above partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization expenses associated with the Company's several acquisitions made in 1999 and 2000. Interest expense decreased to approximately $3.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $3.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 3%. Interest expense decreased to approximately $7.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 4%. This decrease relates primarily to the pay-down of debt under the Company's bank credit facility with proceeds raised in follow-on equity offerings in November 1999 and March 2000. Other income (almost exclusively interest income) increased to approximately $5.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 5,400%. Other income (almost exclusively interest income) increased to approximately $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 9,600%. This increase was due to the Company's high cash and investment balances following its follow-on equity offerings in November 1999 and March 2000 as well as cash generated from operations. Income before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $0.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 1,860%. Income before provision for income taxes increased to approximately $13.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from a loss of approximately $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was due to higher operating income enhanced by higher interest income, as described above. Net income increased to approximately $5.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from $0.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 1,767%. Net income increased to approximately $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from a loss of approximately $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase in net income for the quarter was due to higher income before provision for income taxes partially offset by an increased provision for income taxes. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $16.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $9.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 72%. Broadcast cash flow increased to approximately $26.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $13.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 89%. This increase was attributable to the increases in broadcast revenue partially offset by higher operating expenses as described above. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA), and excluding stock-based compensation expense, increased to approximately $15.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $8.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or 79%. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, and excluding stock- based compensation expense, increased to approximately $23.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 101%. This increase was attributable to the increase in broadcast revenue and interest income partially offset by higher operating expenses and higher corporate expenses partially associated with the costs of operating as a public company. After-tax cash flow increased to approximately $12.3 million for the quarter ended June, 30, 2000 from approximately $4.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 1999. After-tax cash flow increased to approximately $19.7 million for the six months ended June, 30, 2000 from approximately $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was attributable to the increase in operating income and interest income partially offset by higher interest charges associated with the financings of various acquisitions as well as the provision for income taxes, as described above. (a) "Broadcast cash flow" is defined as broadcast operating income plus corporate expenses (including stock-based compensation) and depreciation and amortization of both tangible and intangible assets. (b) "EBITDA" is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. 12 (c) "After-tax cash flow" is defined as income before income taxes and extraordinary items plus depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation, less the current income tax provision. (d) As of June 30, 2000 the Company had 85,478,030 shares of Common Stock outstanding. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The capital structure of the Company consists of the Company's outstanding long-term debt and stockholders' equity. The stockholders' equity consists of common stock, additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit. The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $6.2 million as of December 31, 1999. The Company's balance of cash and cash equivalents was approximately $148.1 million as of June 30, 2000. This increase resulted primarily from the Company's stronger cash flow from operating activities during the first six months of 2000 as well as the Company's follow-on public offering on March 8, 2000 from which it raised approximately $336.0 million, partially offset by cash paid for the acquisition of WPLY-FM on February 28, 2000, the acquisition of Davis Broadcasting, Inc. on June 7, 2000, the acquisition of three radio stations and one low power television station in the Indianapolis market on June 8, 2000, and an escrow deposit on the pending acquisition of 12 stations from Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and AMFM, Inc. At June 30, 2000 the entire amount of $100.0 million remained available (based on various covenant restrictions) to be drawn down from the Company's bank credit facility. In general, the Company's primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, on undrawn commitments available under the Company's bank credit facility. On July 17, 2000 the Company amended and restated its credit agreement with respect to the existing bank credit facility. Upon consummation of, and contingent upon the Clear Channel/AMFM acquisition, the agreement provides for a new facility under which the Company can borrow up to $750.0 million from a group of banking institutions. The new bank credit facility contains covenants limiting the Company's ability to incur additional debt and additional liens, make dividends and other payments with respect to the Company's equity securities, make new investments and sell assets. This new facility also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit the Company's ability to borrow or otherwise raise funds in the credit and capital markets. Net cash flows from operating activities increased to approximately $18.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 215%. This increase was due to a higher net income resulting from increased revenue and interest income partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization charges associated with the various acquisitions made by the Company in the past year and a higher provision for income taxes as compared to the first six months of 1999. Non-cash expenses of depreciation and amortization increased to approximately $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 from approximately $7.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 69% due to various acquisitions made by the Company within the past year. Net cash flows used in investing activities increased to approximately $213.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to approximately $42.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 408%. During the six months ended June 30, 2000 the Company acquired radio station WPLY-FM in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania market for approximately $80.0 million. The Company also acquired six radio stations in the Charlotte, North Carolina and Augusta, Georgia markets through an acquisition of the stock of Davis Broadcasting, Inc. for approximately $20.0 million in cash and approximately 57,000 shares of Class A Common Stock and 115,000 shares of Class D Common Stock, and three radio stations and one low power television station in the Indianapolis, Indiana market from Shirk, Inc. and IBL, L.L.C. for approximately $30.0 million in cash and 441,000 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Company also made an escrow deposit of approximately $130.3 million on the anticipated acquisition of 12 radio stations in seven markets from Clear Channel/AMFM. Also during the six months ended June 30, 2000 the Company made purchases of capital equipment totaling approximately $1.4 million. Net cash flows from financing activities was approximately $336.4 million for the six months 13 ended June 30, 2000 compared to approximately 36.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 1999 or 819%. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company completed a public offering of common stock that raised net proceeds of approximately $336.0 million. A portion of the proceeds was used to fund the escrow deposit and acquisitions mentioned above, with the balance to be used in part for general operating expenses and to fund future acquisitions. As a result of the aforementioned, cash and cash equivalents increased by $141.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to an approximate $0.6 million increase during the six months ended June 30, 1999. 14 PART II.

The holders of Class A Common Stock did not approve the provisions increasing the authorized shares of Class A Common Stock and providing the right to convert shares of Class A Common Stock to Class D Common Stock. All remaining aspects of the proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation were adopted by a majority of the holders of Common Stock.

                  ___________________________________________


          RADIO ONE, INC. (the "Company"), a corporation organized and existing
under and by virtue of the provisions of the General Corporation Law as of the
State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), certifies as follows:

          FIRST:  The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on July

2.   Ranking.
     -------

     (a) The Preferred Securities shall, with respect to dividend rights and
rights on liquidation, winding up or dissolution, whether voluntary or
involuntary, whether now or hereafter issued, rank (i) on parity with any other
series of Preferred Stock established hereafter by the Board of Directors, the
terms of which shall specifically provide that such series shall rank on parity
with the Preferred Securities with respect to dividend rights and rights on
liquidation, winding up or dissolution (all of such series of Preferred Stock to
which the Preferred Securities ranks on parity are at all times collectively
referred to as "Parity Securities"), (ii) junior to each class of capital stock
or series of Preferred Stock established hereafter by the Board of Directors,
the terms of which shall specifically provide that such series shall rank senior
to the Preferred Securities with respect to dividend rights and rights on
liquidation, winding up or dissolution (all of such series of Preferred Stock to
which the Preferred Securities ranks junior, are at times collectively referred
to herein as the "Senior Securities"), and (iii) senior to the Company's Class A
Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Class A Stock"), the Company's
Class B Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Class B Stock"), the
Company's Class C Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Class C
Stock"), the Company's Class D Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
"Class D Common" and together with the Class A Stock, Class B Stock and Class C
Stock, the "Common Stock") and, subject to clauses (i) and (ii) hereof, any
other equity securities of the Company, with respect to dividend rights and
rights on liquidation, winding up or dissolution, established hereafter by the
Board of Directors which do not expressly provide that it ranks senior to or on
parity with the Preferred Securities (all of such equity securities of the
Company to which the Preferred Securities ranks senior, including the Common
Stock, are at times collectively referred to herein as the "Junior Securities").

3.   Dividends.
     ---------

     (a) Holders of the outstanding shares of Preferred Securities will be
entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company, out of funds legally available therefor, dividends on each share of the
Preferred Securities at the Applicable Rate applied to the stated liquidation
amount of $1,000 per Preferred Security.  The Applicable Rate will be 6 1/2% per
annum (the "Initial Rate") from July 14, 2000 to but excluding the Reset Date
(as defined below).  From the Reset Date, the Applicable Rate will be the Term
Rate established by the Remarketing Agent to be effective on the Reset Date.
During the continuation of a Registration Default (as such term is defined in
that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated July 14, 2000, by and among
the Company and the initial

                                       3


purchasers of the Preferred Securities (the "Registration Rights Agreement"),
the Applicable Rate will be increased by 0.50% per annum and holders of the
outstanding shares of Preferred Securities will be entitled to receive, when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company, out of the funds
legally available therefor, dividends on each share of the Preferred Securities
at the increased Applicable Rate until such Registration Default is cured.
Dividends in arrears for more than one quarter will bear interest thereon
compounded quarterly at the Applicable Rate (to the extent permitted by
applicable law). The term "Dividends" as used herein includes such quarterly
dividends and additional dividends on quarterly dividends not paid on the
applicable Dividend Date (as defined below), as applicable (such additional
dividends herein referred to as "Additional Dividends"). A Dividend is payable
only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Preferred Securities
and to the extent the Company has funds available therefor. The amount of
Dividends payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly
Dividend period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for
any period shorter than a full quarterly Dividend period for which Dividends are
computed, Dividends will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed per 30-day month.

     (b) Dividends on the Preferred Securities will be cumulative, will accrue
from July 14, 2000 and will be payable quarterly in arrears, on the following
dates: January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on
October 15, 2000, except as otherwise described below (each such date being a
"Dividend Date").  The Reset Date is any date (1) not later than July 15, 2005
(or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day), and
(2) not earlier than 80 Business Days prior to July 15, 2005, as may be
determined by the Remarketing Agent, in its sole discretion, for settlement of a
successful remarketing.  The fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding
each Dividend Date is the record date for determining which holders of Preferred
Securities shall be paid the Dividends, if any, payable on such Dividend Date.
If the Reset Date is prior to the record date for the immediately following
Dividend Date, then Dividends, if any, accrued from and after the Reset Date to
but excluding the immediately following Dividend Date shall be paid on such
Dividend Date to the person in whose name each Security is registered on the
relevant record date.  If the Reset Date is on or after the record date for the
immediately following Dividend Date, then (1) Dividends, if any, accrued from
and after the record date to but excluding the Reset Date shall be paid on the
immediately following Dividend Date to the person in whose name each Preferred
Security is registered on the relevant record date and (2) Dividends, if any,
accrued from and after the Reset Date to but excluding the immediately following
Dividend Date shall be paid on the second Dividend Date immediately following
the Reset Date to the

                                       4


person in whose name each Preferred Security is registered on the relevant
record date for such second Dividend Date.

     (c) Dividends on the Preferred Securities will be payable to the holders
thereof as they appear on the books and records of the Company at the close of
business on the relevant record dates.  The relevant record dates shall be on
the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding each relevant payment date,
except as otherwise described in this Certificate of Designations.  Subject to
any applicable laws and regulations and the provisions of this Certificate of
Designations, each such payment in respect of Preferred Securities being held in
book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company (the "Depositary"), or any
successor Depositary appointed pursuant to this Certificate of Designations,
will be made as described under the heading "Description of HIGH TIDES -- Form,
Book-Entry Procedures and Transfer" in the Offering Circular.  Dividends payable
on any Preferred Securities that are not punctually paid on any Dividend Date,
as a result of the Company having failed to make a payment, will cease to be
payable to the Person in whose name such Preferred Securities are registered on
the relevant record date, and such defaulted Dividend will instead be payable to
the Person in whose name such Preferred Securities are registered on the next
record date.  If any date on which Dividends are payable on the Preferred
Securities is not a Business Day, then payment of the Dividend payable on such
date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without
any Additional Dividends or other payment in respect of any such delay) except
that, with respect to any Redemption Date (as defined below), if such Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such Redemption Date shall be the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on such date.

     (d) In the event of an election by the holder to convert its Preferred
Securities through the conversion agent, office or agency where the Preferred
Securities may be presented for conversion (the "Conversion Agent"), into Class
D Common pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities as set forth in this
Certificate of Designations, no payment, allowance or adjustment shall be made
with respect to accumulated and unpaid Dividends on such Preferred Securities,
or be required to be made; provided that holders of Preferred Securities at the
                           --------
close of business on any record date for the payment of Dividends will be
entitled to receive the Dividends payable on such Preferred Securities on the
corresponding payment date notwithstanding the conversion of such Preferred
Securities into Class D Common following such record date.

                                       5


4.   Liquidation Preference.
     ----------------------

     (a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-
up of the Company, holders of Preferred Securities will be entitled to be paid,
out of the assets of the Company available for distribution to its stockholders,
the liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of Preferred Securities,
plus, without duplication, an amount in cash equal to all accumulated and unpaid
dividends (whether or not earned or declared and including Additional Dividends,
if any,) thereon to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
(including an amount equal to a prorated dividend for the period from the last
Dividend Date to the date fixed for liquidation, dissolution or winding-up that
would have been payable had the Preferred Securities been the subject of a
redemption on such date pursuant to Section 5) before any distribution is made
on any Junior Stock. If, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, the amounts payable with respect to
the Preferred Securities and all Parity Stock are not paid in full, the
Preferred Securities and the Parity Stock will share equally and ratably (in
proportion to the respective amounts that would be payable on such shares of
Preferred Securities and the Parity Stock, respectively, if all amounts payable
thereon had been paid in full) in any distribution of assets of the Company to
which each is entitled. After payment of the full amount of the liquidation
preference of the outstanding shares of Preferred Securities (and, if
applicable, an amount equal to a prorated dividend), the holders of shares of
Preferred Securities will not be entitled to any further participation in any
distribution of assets of the Company.

     (b) For the purposes of this Section 4, neither the sale, conveyance,
exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other
consideration) of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the
Company nor the consolidation or merger of the Company with or into one or more
other entities shall be deemed to be a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of
the Company.

5.   Redemption and Distribution.
     ---------------------------

     (a)  Optional Redemption

          (i) To the extent permitted by law, the Preferred Securities shall be
redeemable at any time, or from time to time, in whole or in part, out of
legally available funds, at the option of the Company, on or after July 20,
2003, until but excluding the Tender Notification Date (the "Redemption Date"),
upon giving notice as provided in clause (b) below, at the redemption price of
$1,000 for each share outstanding, plus an amount in cash equal to all accrued
but unpaid dividends on the portion being redeemed to the Redemption Date; such
that if redeemed during the

                                       6


12-month period beginning July 20, 2003 and ending July 20, 2004, the price per
$1,000 principal amount will be $1,016.25; and if redeemed during the 12-month
period beginning July 20, 2004 and ending July 20, 2005, the price per $1,000
principal amount will be $1,000.

          (ii)  The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable after the Reset
Date (except in the event a failed final remarketing), in accordance with the
term call protections, if any, established in the remarketing.

          (iii) The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable, in whole or in
part, at any time on or after the third anniversary of the Reset Date following
a failed final remarketing at a redemption price equal to 100% of the then
outstanding aggregate liquidation value of the Preferred Securities to be
redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid dividends on the portion being redeemed.

          (iv)  The Company shall not be required to (A) issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any of the Preferred Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection for redemption
of Preferred Securities and ending at the close of business on the earliest date
on which the relevant notice of redemption is deemed to have been given to all
holders of Preferred Securities to be so redeemed or (B) register the transfer
of or exchange any Preferred Securities so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Preferred Security being redeemed
in part.

     (b)  Notice of Redemption

          In the event the Company shall redeem shares of Preferred Securities
pursuant to clause (a) above, a notice of such redemption shall be given by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of record of the shares to be
redeemed, at such holder's address as the same appears on the stock books of the
Company's transfer agent.  Each such notice shall state:  (A) the Redemption
Date; (B) the number of shares of Preferred Securities to be redeemed and, if
less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of
such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (C) the redemption price; (D) the
place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for
payment of the redemption price; (E) that payment will be made upon presentation
and surrender of such Preferred Securities; (F) the then current Conversion
Price; (G) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed shall cease to accrue
following such Redemption Date; (H) that such redemption is at the option of the
Company; and (I) that accrued and unpaid dividends up to and including the
Redemption Date will be paid in accordance with the terms herein.

                                       7


          Notice having been mailed as aforesaid, on and after the Redemption
Date, unless the Company shall be in default in providing money for the payment
of the redemption price (including an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid
dividends up to and including the Redemption Date), (x) dividends on the shares
of the Preferred Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, (y)
said shares shall be deemed no longer outstanding, and (z) all rights of the
holders thereof as stockholders of the Company (except the right to receive from
the Company the monies payable upon redemption, without interest thereon, upon
surrender of the certificates evidencing such shares) shall cease.  The
Company's obligation to provide monies in accordance with the preceding sentence
shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Redemption Date, the Company
shall deposit with a bank or trust company having an office or agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at
least $500,000,000, the principal amount of funds necessary for such redemption,
in trust for the account of the holders of the shares to be redeemed (and so as
to be and continue to be available therefor), with irrevocable instructions and
authority to such bank or trust company that such funds be applied to the
redemption of the shares of Preferred Securities so called for redemption.  Any
interest accrued on such funds shall be paid to the Company from time to time.
Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of three years from such
Redemption Date shall be released or repaid to the Company, after which, subject
to any applicable laws relating to escheat or unclaimed property, the holder or
holders of such shares of Preferred Securities so called for redemption shall
look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price.

          Upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the certificates for
any such shares so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the
Board of Directors shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares
shall be redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price aforesaid.
If fewer than all the outstanding shares of Preferred Securities are to be
redeemed, shares to be redeemed shall be selected by the Company from
outstanding shares of Preferred Securities not previously called for redemption
by lot or pro rata or by any other equitable method determined by the Board of
Directors in its sole discretion.  If fewer than all the shares represented by
any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the
unredeemed shares without cost to the holder thereof.

     (c)  Redemption and Remarketing Procedures

          (i) Holders will be given not less than 15 nor more than 60 days
notice of an Optional Redemption.  For purposes of the calculation of the date
of redemption and the dates on which notices are given pursuant to this Section
5(c)(i)

                                       8


(other than notices in connection with a Remarketing, the terms of which shall
be governed by the Remarketing Agreement), a redemption notice shall be deemed
to be given on the day such notice is first mailed by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to holders of Preferred Securities. Each redemption notice shall be
addressed to the holders of Preferred Securities at the address of each such
holder appearing in the books and records of the Company. No defect in the
redemption notice or in the mailing of either thereof with respect to any holder
shall affect the validity of the redemption proceedings with respect to any
other holder.

          (ii)  In the event that fewer than all the outstanding Preferred
Securities are to be redeemed, the Preferred Securities to be redeemed shall be
redeemed Pro Rata from each holder of Preferred Securities, it being understood
that, in respect of Preferred Securities registered in the name of and held of
record by the Depositary (or any successor Depositary) or any nominee, the
distribution of the proceeds of such redemption will be made to each Participant
(or Person on whose behalf such nominee holds such securities) in accordance
with the procedures applied by such agency or nominee.

          (iii) If Preferred Securities are to be redeemed and the Company
gives a redemption notice, which notice may only be issued if the Preferred
Securities are redeemed as set out in this Section 5 (which notice will be
irrevocable), then (A) with respect to Preferred Securities held in book-entry
form, by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, to the extent
funds are available, with respect to Preferred Securities held in global form,
the Company will deposit irrevocably with the Depositary (or successor
Depositary) funds sufficient to pay the amount payable on redemption with
respect to such Preferred Securities and will give the Depositary irrevocable
instructions and authority to pay the amount payable on redemption to the
holders of such Preferred Securities, and (B) with respect to Preferred
Securities issued in certificated form, to the extent funds are available, the
Company will irrevocably deposit with the Paying Agent funds sufficient to pay
the amount payable on redemption to the holders of such Preferred Securities and
will give the Paying Agent irrevocable instructions and authority to pay the
amount payable on redemption to the holders thereof upon surrender of their
certificates.  If a redemption notice shall have been given and funds deposited
as required, then on the date of such deposit, all rights of holders of such
Preferred Securities so called for redemption will cease, except the right of
the holders of such Preferred Securities to receive the Redemption Price, but
without interest on such Redemption Price, and such Preferred Securities will
cease to be outstanding.  The Company shall not be required to register or cause
to be registered the transfer of any Preferred Securities that have been so
called for redemption.  If any date fixed for redemption of Preferred Securities
is not a Business Day, then payment of the


                                       9


amount payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of any such
delay) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year, such
payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on such date fixed for redemption. If
payment of the Redemption Price in respect of any Preferred Securities is
improperly withheld or refused and not paid either by the Company, Dividends on
such Preferred Securities will continue to accrue at the then applicable rate,
from the original redemption date to the date of payment, in which case the
actual payment date will be considered the date fixed for redemption for
purposes of calculating the amount payable upon redemption (other than for
purposes of calculating any premium).

          (iv)  Redemption notices shall be sent by the Company to (A) in the
case of Preferred Securities held in book-entry form, the Depositary and (B) in
the case of Preferred Securities held in certificated form, the holders of such
certificates.

          (v)   Subject to the foregoing and applicable law (including, without
limitation, United States federal securities laws), the Company or any of its
affiliates may at any time and from time to time purchase outstanding Preferred
Securities, including by tender, in the open market or by private agreement;
provided that neither the Company nor any of its affiliates may purchase
- --------
Preferred Securities on the Reset Date or submit orders in the Remarketing.

6.   Conversion Rights.
     -----------------

     The holders of Preferred Securities shall have the right at any time prior
to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Tender Notification Date and, in the
event of a Convertible Remarketing or a Final Failed Remarketing, from and after
the Reset Date (except that Preferred Securities called for redemption by the
Company will be convertible at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time
on any Redemption Date), at their option, to cause the Conversion Agent to
convert Preferred Securities, on behalf of the converting holders, into shares
of Class D Common in the manner described herein on and subject to the following
terms and conditions:

     (a) The Preferred Securities will be convertible at the office of the
Conversion Agent into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class D Common
pursuant to the holder's direction to the Conversion Agent to convert such
Preferred Securities into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Class D Common
on or prior to the Tender Notification Date, into 53.3832 shares of Class D
Common per $1,000 principal amount of Preferred Securities (which is equivalent
to a conversion price of $18.7325 per share of Class D Common, subject to
certain adjustments set forth

                                      10


below (as so adjusted, "Initial Conversion Price"). On and after the Reset Date,
the Preferred Securities may, at the option of the Company and subject to the
results of the Remarketing, become nonconvertible or convertible into a
different number of shares of Class D Common.

     (b) In order to convert Preferred Securities into Class D Common the holder
shall submit to the Conversion Agent at the office referred to above an
irrevocable request to convert Preferred Securities on behalf of such holder
(the "Conversion Request"), together, if the Preferred Securities are in
certificated form, with such certificates.  The Conversion Agent shall not cause
the conversion of any Preferred Securities except pursuant to such a Conversion
Request.  The Conversion Request shall (i) set forth the number of Preferred
Securities to be converted and the name or names, if other than the holder, in
which the shares of Class D Common should be issued and (ii) direct the
Conversion Agent to immediately convert such Preferred Securities on behalf of
such holder, into Class D Common (at the conversion rate specified in the
preceding paragraph).  The Conversion Agent shall thereupon notify the Company
of the holder's election to convert such Preferred Securities into shares of
Class D Common.  Holders of Preferred Securities at the close of business on a
Dividend record date will be entitled to receive the Dividend payable on such
Preferred Securities on the corresponding Dividend payment date notwithstanding
the conversion of such Preferred Securities following such record date but prior
to such dividend payment date.  Except as provided above, the Company will not
make, or be required to make, any payment, allowance or adjustment upon any
conversion on account of any accumulated and unpaid Dividends accrued on the
Preferred Securities, whether or not in arrears, surrendered for conversion, or
on account of any accumulated and unpaid dividends on the shares of Class D
Common issued upon such conversion, except to the extent that such shares are
held of record on the record date for any such Dividends.  Preferred Securities
shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of
business on the day on which a Notice of Conversion relating to such Preferred
Securities is received by the Company in accordance with the foregoing provision
(the "Conversion Date").  The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Class D
Common issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Securities shall be treated for
all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Class D Common at such
time.  As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company
shall issue and deliver at the office of the Conversion Agent a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Class D Common issuable upon such
conversion, together with the cash payment, if any, in lieu of any fraction of
any share to the Person or Persons entitled to receive the same, unless
otherwise directed by the holder in the notice of conversion and the Conversion
Agent shall distribute such certificate or certificates to such Person or
Persons.

                                      11


     (c) Each holder of a Preferred Security by his acceptance thereof appoints
The American Stock Transfer & Trust Company "Conversion Agent" for the purpose
of effecting the conversion of Preferred Securities in accordance with this
Section 6. In effecting the conversion and transactions described in this
Section 6, the Conversion Agent shall be acting as agent of the holders of
Preferred Securities directing it to effect such conversion transactions.  The
Conversion Agent is hereby authorized to convert all or a portion of the
Preferred Securities into Class D Common.

     (d) No fractional shares of Class D Common will be issued as a result of
conversion, but in lieu thereof, such fractional interest will be paid in cash,
based on the closing price of the Class D Common at the time of conversion, by
the Company to the to the holder or holders of Preferred Securities so
converted.

     (e) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its
authorized and unissued Class D Common, solely for issuance upon the conversion
of the Preferred Securities, free from any preemptive or other similar rights,
such number of shares of Class D Common as shall from time to time be issuable
upon the conversion of all the Preferred Securities then outstanding.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to deliver upon
conversion of Preferred Securities, shares of Class D Common reacquired and held
in the treasury of the Company (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and
unissued shares of Class D Common), so long as any such treasury shares are free
and clear of all liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances.  Any shares
of Class D Common issued upon conversion of the Preferred Securities shall be
duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.  The Company
shall deliver the shares of Class D Common to the converting holder free and
clear of all liens, charges, security interests and encumbrances, except for
United States withholding taxes.  The Company shall prepare and shall use its
best efforts to obtain and keep in force such governmental or regulatory permits
or other authorizations as may be required by law, and shall comply with all
applicable requirements as to registration or qualification of the Class D
Common (and all requirements to list the Class D Common issuable upon conversion
of Preferred Securities that are at the time applicable), in order to lawfully
issue the Class D Common to each holder upon conversion of the Securities.

     (f) The Company will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of shares of Class D Common on conversion of Preferred
Securities.  The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which
may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of
shares of Class D Common in a name other than that in which the Preferred

                                      12


Securities so converted were registered, and no such issue or delivery shall be
made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company
the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid.

     (g)  Nothing in the preceding Section 6(f) shall limit the requirement of
the Company to withhold taxes pursuant to the terms of the Preferred Securities
set forth in this Certificate of Designations or otherwise require the Company
to pay any amounts on account of such withholdings.

     (h)  The Conversion Price in effect at any time shall be adjusted, without
duplication, as follows:

          (i)   If the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, effect a
subdivision of the outstanding Class D Common, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately before such subdivision shall be proportionately decreased and,
conversely, if the Company shall, at any time or from time to time, effect a
combination of the outstanding Class D Common, the Conversion Price in effect
immediately before such combination shall be proportionately increased.  Any
adjustment under this subdivision shall become effective at the close of
business on the record date fixed for the applicable subdivision or combination.

          (ii)  In the event the Company shall, at any time or from time to
time, make or issue to all holders of shares of Class D Common (or fix a record
date for the determination of holders of Class D Common entitled to receive), a
dividend or other distribution payable in shares of Class D Common, then the
Conversion Price then in effect shall be decreased as of the time of such
issuance (or, in the event such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the
close of business on such record date) by multiplying the Conversion Price by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Class D Common
outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination
and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total
number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such
reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on the
day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this
Section 6(h)(ii), the number of shares of Class D Common at any time outstanding
shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company. In the event that
such dividend or distribution is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall
again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such dividend or distribution had not occurred.

                                      13


          (iii) In the event that the Company shall fix a date for determination
of stockholders entitled to receive rights or warrants to be issued to all
holders of shares of Class D Common the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination
shall be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Class D Common outstanding at the
close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of
shares of Class D Common which the aggregate of the offering price of the total
number of shares of Class D Common so offered for subscription or purchase would
purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Class D Common outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed
for such determination plus the number of shares of Class D Common so offered
for subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination. To the extent that rights are not so issued or shares of Class D
Common are not so delivered after the expiration of such rights or warrants, the
Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the Conversion Price which would then be
in effect if such date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to
receive such rights or warrants had not been fixed. For the purposes of this
Section 6(h)(iii), the number of shares of Class D Common at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the trea sury of the Company.

          (iv)  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6(h)(iv), in the
event that the Company shall make a payment of dividends and other distributions
to all holders of Class D Common consisting of evidences of indebtedness,
securities or capital stock, cash or assets of the Company, except for those
rights or warrants referred to in Section 6(h)(iii) above and dividends and
distributions paid exclusively in cash the Conversion Price shall be reduced so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price
reduction contemplated by this Section 6(h)(iv) by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in
Section 6(h)(vii)) of the Class D Common on the date fixed for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution (the "Reference Date")
less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution
of the Board of Directors), on the Reference Date, of the portion of the
evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and assets so
distributed applicable to one share of Class D Common and the denominator shall
be such current market price per share of the Class D Common, such reduction to
become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the Reference Date.  In the event that such dividend or distribution
is not so paid or

                                      14


made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the Conversion Price
which would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 6(h)(iv), any dividend or distribution that
includes shares of Class D Common or rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase shares of Class D Common shall be deemed instead to be (1) a dividend
or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash
or assets other than such shares of Class D Common or such rights or warrants
(making any Conversion Price reduction required by this Section 6(h)(iv))
immediately followed by (2) a dividend or distribution of such shares of Class D
Common or such rights or warrants (making any further Conversion Price reduction
required by Sections 6(h)(ii) or (iii)), except any shares of Class D Common
included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at
the close of business on the date fixed for such determination" within the
meaning of Section 6(h)(ii).

          (v)   In the event that the Company or any of its subsidiaries shall
make a payment to all holders of Class D Common in respect of a tender or
exchange offer, other than an odd-lot offer, for the Class D Common at a price
in excess of 110% of the current market price of the Class D Common as of the
trading day next succeeding the last date tenders or exchanges may be made
pursuant to the tender or exchange offer the Conversion Price shall be reduced
so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price
reduction contemplated by this Section 6(h)(v) by a fraction of which the
numerator shall be the number of shares of Class D Common outstanding (including
any tendered or exchanged shares) at the last time tenders or exchanges may be
made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the "Expiration Time")
multiplied by the current market price per share (determined as provided in
Section 6(h)(vii)) of the Class D Common on the trading day next succeeding the
Expiration Time and the denominator shall be the sum of (x) the fair market
value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a resolution of the Board of
Directors) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders based on the
acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender or exchange
offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged and not withdrawn as of the
Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted, up to any such maximum, being
referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (y) the product of the number of
shares of Class D Common outstanding (less any Purchased Shares) at the
Expiration Time and the current market price per share (determined as aforesaid)
of the Class D Common on the trading day next succeeding the Expiration Time,
such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business
on the day following the Expiration Time.

                                      15


          (vi)  In the event that the Company shall make a payment of dividends
and other distributions to all holders of Class D Common exclusively in cash,
except (A) cash dividends that do not exceed the per share amount of the
smallest of the immediately four preceding quarterly cash dividends, as adjusted
to reflect any of the events described in Section 6(h)(i)-(v) above and (B) cash
dividends the per share amount of which, together with the aggregate per share
amount of any other cash dividends paid within the 12 months preceding the date
of payment of such cash dividends, does not exceed 12 1/2% of the current market
price of the Class D Common as of the trading day immediately preceding the date
of declaration of the dividend the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the
same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in
effect immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction
contem  plated by this Section 6(h)(vi) by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the current market price per share (determined as provided in Section
6(h)(vii)) of the Class D Common on the date fixed for the payment of such
distribution less the amount of cash so distributed and not excluded as provided
applicable to one share of Class D Common and the denominator shall be such
current market price per share of the Class D Common, such reduction to become
effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the
date fixed for the payment of such distribution; provided, however, that in the
                                                 --------  -------
event the portion of the cash so distributed applicable to one share of Class D
Common is equal to or greater than the current market price per share (as
defined in Secton 6(h)(vii)) of the Class D Common on the record date mentioned
above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so
that each holder of Preferred Securities shall have the right to receive upon
conversion the amount of cash such holder would have received had such holder
converted each Preferred Security immediately prior to the record date for the
distribution of the cash.  In the event that such dividend or distribution is
not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall again be adjusted to be the
Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had not been
fixed.

          (vii) For the purpose of any computation under Sections 6(h)(iii),
(iv), (v) and (vi), the current market price per share of Class D Common on any
date in question shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices
for the ten consecutive trading days prior to the earlier of the day in question
and, if applicable, the day before the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) with
respect to the issuance or distribution requiring such computation; provided,
                                                                    --------
however, that if the day in question or the "ex" date for any event (other than
- -------
the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that requires an
adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 6(h)(iii), (iv), (v) or
(vi) occurs during such 10 consecutive trading days, the closing price for each
trading day prior to such date for such other

                                      16


event shall be adjusted by multiplying such closing price by the same fraction
by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such
other event. For purposes of this Section 6(h)(vii), the term "ex" date (A) when
used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which
the Class D Common trades regular way on the relevant exchange or in the
relevant market from which the closing price was obtained without the right to
receive such issuance or distribution, (B) when used with respect to any
subdivision or combination of shares of Class D Common, means the first date on
which the Class D Common trades regular way on such exchange or in such market
after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective and
(C) when used with respect to any tender or exchange offer means the first date
on which the Class D Common trades regular way on such exchange or in such
market after the Expiration Time of such offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
whenever successive adjustments to the Conversion Price are called for pursuant
to this Section 6, such adjustments shall be made to the current market price as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the intent of this Section 6 and
to avoid unjust or inequitable results, as determined in good faith by the Board
of Directors.

          (viii) The Company may at its option make reductions in the
applicable Conversion Price as the Board of Directors deems advisable to avoid
or diminish any income tax to holders of shares of Class D Common resulting from
any dividend or distribution of stock or rights to acquire stock, or from any
event treated similarly for federal income tax purposes.

     (i)  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment will be
made to the Conversion Price by reason of (A) the issuance of options or rights
to purchase shares of Class D Common, or the issuance of Class D Common upon
exercise of such rights or options, pursuant to any present or future employee,
director or consultant benefit plan or program of the Company, (B) the issuance
of Class D Common pursuant to any option, warrant, right, or exercisable,
exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date the Preferred
Securities were first issued, (C) the issuance of Class D Common pursuant to any
present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest
payable on the Company's capital stock and the investment of additional optional
amounts in shares of Class D Common, or (D) the issuance of Class D Common upon
the conversion of the Preferred Securities.

     (j)  No adjustment in the Conversion Price need be made unless the
adjustment pursuant to Section 6(h) would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% in the Conversion Price.  Where the Conversion Price is not adjusted
pursuant to

                                      17


this Section 6(j), the adjustment that is not made will be carried forward and
taken into account in any future adjustment.

     (k)  No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value of the Class
D Common.

     (l)  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly
mail to holders of Preferred Securities a notice of adjustment briefly stating
the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it.

     (m)  (i)  In the event that the Company shall be a party to any transaction
(including without limitation (A) any recapitalization or reclassification of
the Class D Common (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no
par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or
combination of the Class D Common), (B) any consolidation of the Company with,
or merger of the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person
into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in a
reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of
Class D Common of the Company), (C) any sale or transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company or (D) any compulsory share exchange (each of
the events in the preceding clauses (A) through (D) being referred to as a
"Company Transaction"), in each case, as a result of which shares of Class D
Common shall be converted into the right to receive other securities, cash or
other property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of such
Company Transaction whereby the holder of each Preferred Security then
outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Preferred Security
only into (1) in the case of any such transaction other than a Common Stock
Fundamental Change (as defined in Section 6(m)(iii)), the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon consummation of such Company
Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of Class D Common of the Company
into which such Preferred Security could have been converted immediately prior
to such Company Transaction, after giving effect to any adjustment in the
Conversion Price required by the provisions of Section 6(m)(ii)(A) and (B), or
(2) in the case of a Company Transaction involving a Common Stock Fundamental
Change, common stock of the kind received by holders of Class D Common as a
result of such Common Stock Fundamental Change in an amount determined pursuant
to the provisions of Section 6(m)(ii)(B).  Holders of the Preferred Securities
shall have no voting rights with respect to any Company Transaction described in
this Section 6(m).

          The Company or the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting
from such merger or which acquired such assets or which acquires the Company's

                                      18


shares, as the case may be, shall make provision in its certificate or articles
of incorporation or other constituent document to establish such right.  Such
certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document shall
provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of
such certificate or articles of incorporation or other constituent document,
shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided
for in this Section 6.  The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive
transactions of the foregoing type.

          (ii)  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 6 to the
contrary, in the case of any Company Transaction involving a Fundamental Change,
then the Conversion Price will be adjusted immediately before such Fundamental
Change as follows:

                (A) in the case of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change, the
     Conversion Price of the Preferred Securities shall thereupon become the
     lower of (1) the Conversion Price immediately prior to such Non-Stock
     Fundamental Change, but after giving effect to any other prior adjustments
     effected pursuant to this Section 6, and (2) the result obtained by
     multiplying the greater of the Relevant Price (as defined in Section
     6(m)(iii)) or the then applicable Reference Market Price (as defined in
     Section 6(m)(iii)) by the Optional Redemption Ratio (as defined in Section
     6(m)(iii)) (such product shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Adjusted
     Relevant Price" or the "Adjusted Reference Market Price", as the case may
     be); and
                (B) in the case of a Common Stock Fundamental Change, the
     Conversion Price of the Securities in effect immediately prior to such
     Common Stock Fundamental Change, but after giving effect to any other prior
     adjustments effected pursuant to this Section 6, shall thereupon be
     adjusted by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the
     numerator shall be the Purchaser Stock Price (as defined in Section
     6(m)(iii)) and the denominator shall be the Relevant Price; provided,
                                                                 --------
     however, that in the event of a Common Stock Fundamental Change in which
     -------
     (A) 100% of the value of the consideration received by a holder of Class D
     Common is common stock of the successor, acquiror or other third party (and
     cash, if any, is paid only with respect to any fractional interests in such
     common stock resulting from such Common Stock Fundamental Change) and (B)
     all of the Class D Common shall have been exchanged for, converted into or
     ac  quired for common stock (and cash with respect to fractional interests)
     of the successor, acquiror or other third party, the Conversion Price of
     the Preferred Securities in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock
     Fundamental Change shall thereupon be adjusted by multiplying such
     Conversion Price by

                                      19


     a fraction of which the numerator shall be one and the denominator shall be
     the number of shares of common stock of the successor, acquiror, or other
     third party received by a stockholder for one share of Class D Common as a
     result of such Class D Common Fundamental Change.

          (iii) The following definitions shall apply to terms used in this
Section 6:

                (A) "Closing Price" of any security on any day means the last
                     -------------
     reported sale price of the security on that day, or in case no sale takes
     place on that day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in each
     case on the principal national securities exchange on which the securities
     are listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading
     on any national securities exchange, on the National Market System of the
     National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any successor national
     automated interdealer quotation system (the "NNM") or, if the securities
     are not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange
     or quoted on the NNM, the average of the closing bid and asked prices of
     the security in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York
     Stock Exchange member firm selected by the Company for that purpose.

                (B) "Common Stock Fundamental Change" means any Fundamental
                     -------------------------------
     Change in which more than 50% of the value (as determined in good faith by
     the Company's Board of Directors) of the consideration received by holders
     of Class D Common consists of common stock that for each of the ten
     consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Entitlement
     Date has been admitted for listing or admitted for listing subject to
     notice of issuance on a national securities exchange or quoted on the NNM;
     provided, however, that a Fundamental Change will not be a Common Stock
     --------  -------
     Fundamental Change unless either: (1)  the Company continues to exist after
     the occurrence of the Fundamental Change and the outstanding Preferred
     Securities continue to remain outstanding without having been converted
     into another security; or (2)  not later than the occurrence of the
     Fundamental Change, the outstanding Preferred Securities are converted into
     or exchanged for preferred securities of a corporation succeeding to our
     business, which preferred securities have terms substantially similar to
     those of the Preferred Securities.

                (C) "Entitlement Date" shall mean the record date for
                     ----------------
     determination of the holders of Class D Common entitled to receive
     securities, cash or other property in connection with a Non-Stock


                                      20


     Fundamental Change or a Common Stock Fundamental Change or, if there is no
     such record date, the date upon which holders of Class D Common shall have
     the right to receive such securities, cash or other property.

                (D) "Fundamental Change" shall mean the occurrence of any
                     ------------------
     transaction or event in connection with a Company Transaction pursuant to
     which all or substantially all of the Class D Common shall be exchanged
     for, converted into, acquired for or constitute solely the right to receive
     securities, cash or other property (whether by means of an exchange offer,
     liquidation, tender offer, consolidation, merger, combination,
     reclassification, recapitalization or otherwise); provided, however, in the
                                                       --------  -------
     case of a Company Transaction involving more than one such transaction or
     event, for purposes of adjustment of the Conversion Price, such Fundamental
     Change shall be deemed to have occurred when substantially all of the Class
     D Common of the Company shall be exchanged for, converted into, or acquired
     for or constitute solely the right to receive securities, cash or other
     property, but the adjustment shall be based upon the highest weighted
     average of consideration per share that a holder of Class D Common could
     have received in such transactions or events as a result of which more than
     50% of the Class D Common of the Company shall have been exchanged for,
     converted into, or acquired for or constitute solely the right to receive
     securities, cash or other property.

                (E) "Non-Stock Fundamental Change" shall mean any Fundamental
                     ----------------------------
     Change other than a Common Stock Fundamental Change.

                (F) "Optional Redemption Ratio" shall mean a fraction of which
                     -------------------------
     the numerator will be $1,000 and the denominator will be the then current
     optional redemption price or, on or prior to the Reset Date and at any time
     after the Reset Date at which the Preferred Securities are not redeemable
     at the option of the Company, an amount per Preferred Security determined
     by the Company in its sole discretion, after consultation with a nationally
     recognized investment banking firm, to be the equivalent of the
     hypothetical redemption price that would have been applicable if the
     Preferred Securities had been redeemable during that period.

                (G) "Purchaser Stock Price" shall mean, with respect to any
                     ---------------------
     Common Stock Fundamental Change, the average of the daily Closing Prices of
     the common stock received in such Common Stock Fundamental Change for the
     ten consecutive Trading Days prior to and including the Entitlement Date,
     multiplied by the number of shares of such common stock received by a
     holder of one share of Class D Common as a result of such Common Stock

                                      21


     Fundamental Change, as adjusted in good faith by the Board of Directors to
     appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in Section 6(h)(i),
     (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi).

                (H) "Reference Market Price" shall initially mean on the date of
                     ----------------------
     original issuance of the Preferred Securities, $10.5832 and, in the event
     of any adjustment to the Conversion Price from such date to (but excluding)
     the Reset Date, other than as a result of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change,
     the Reference Market Price shall also be adjusted so that the ratio of the
     Reference Market Price to the Conversion Price after giving effect to any
     such adjustment shall always be the same as the ratio of $10.5832 to the
     Initial Conversion Price.  If the Preferred Securities are convertible into
     Class D Common on and after the Reset Date, the Reference Market Price on
     such date will be an amount equal to 66 2/3% of the Closing Price of the
     Class D Common on the Reset Date and, in the event of any adjustment to the
     Conversion Price from the Reset Date and thereafter, other than as a result
     of a Non-Stock Fundamental Change, the Reference Market Price shall also be
     adjusted so that the ratio of the Reference Market Price to the Conversion
     Price after giving effect to any such adjustment shall always be the same
     as the ratio of the Closing Price of the Class D Common on the Reset Date
     to the Term Conversion Price.

                (I) "Relevant Price" shall mean (i) in the event of a Non-Stock
                     --------------
     Fundamental Change in which the holders of the Class D Common receive only
     cash, the amount of cash received by a stockholder for one share of Class D
     Common, and (ii) in the event of any other Non-Stock Fundamental Change or
     any Common Stock Fundamental Change, the average of the daily Closing
     Prices of the Class D Common for the ten consecutive Trading Days prior to
     and including the Entitlement Date, in each case, as adjusted in good faith
     by the Company to appropriately reflect any of the events referred to in
     Section 6(h)(i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi).

                (J) "Trading Day" shall mean a day on which securities are
                     -----------
     traded on the national securities exchange or quotation system used to
     determine the Closing Price.

7.   Voting Rights.
     -------------

     (a) The holders of Preferred Securities, except as otherwise required under
Delaware law or as set forth in Sections 7(b) and 7(c) below, shall not be

                                      22


entitled to vote on any matter required or permitted to be voted upon by the
stockholders of the Company.

     (b)  (i)  If dividends on the Preferred Securities are in arrears and
unpaid for six or more dividend periods (whether or not consecutive) (a "Voting
Rights Triggering Event"), then the number of directors constituting the Board
of Directors will, subject to Section 7(b)(v), be increased by two directors and
the holders of the then outstanding shares of Preferred Securities (together
with the holders of Parity Stock upon which like rights have been conferred and
are exercisable), voting separately and as a class, shall, subject to any
restrictions imposed by the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the
rules and policies of the Federal Communications Commission, have the right and
power to elect to serve on the Board of Directors two additional members to the
Board of Directors.

          (ii)  The voting rights set forth in Section 7(b)(i) above will
continue until such time as all dividends in arrears on the Preferred Securities
are paid in full, at which time the term of any directors elected pursuant to
the provisions of Section 7(b)(i) above (subject to the right of holders of any
other Preferred Stock to elect directors pursuant to the terms of the
instruments governing such Preferred Stock) shall terminate forthwith and the
number of directors constituting the Board of Directors shall be decreased by
such number (until the occurrence of any subsequent Voting Rights Triggering
Event).

          At any time after voting power to elect directors shall have become
vested and be continuing in the holders of Preferred Securities (together with
the holders of Parity Stock upon which like rights have been conferred and are
exercisable) pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) hereof, or if vacancies shall exist in
the offices of directors elected by such holders, a proper officer of the
Company may, and upon the written request of the holders of record of at least
25% of the shares of Preferred Securities then outstanding or the holders of 25%
of the shares of Parity Stock then outstanding upon which like rights have been
confirmed and are exercisable addressed to the secretary of the Company shall,
call a special meeting of the Holders of Preferred Securities and the holders of
such Parity Stock for the purpose of electing the directors which such holders
are entitled to elect pursuant to the terms hereof; provided, however, that no
such special meeting shall be called if the next annual meeting of stockholders
of the Company is to be held within 60 days after the voting power to elect
directors shall have become vested, in which case such meeting shall be deemed
to have been called for such next annual meeting.  If such meeting shall not be
called by a proper officer of the Company within 20 days after personal service
to the secretary of the Company at its principal executive offices, then the
Holders of record of at least 25% of the outstanding shares of Preferred

                                      23


Securities or the holders of 25% of the shares of Parity Stock upon which like
rights have been confirmed and are exercisable may designate in writing one of
their members to call such meeting at the expense of the Company, and such
meeting may be called by the person so designated upon the notice required for
the annual meetings of stockholders of the Company and shall be held at the
place for holding the annual meetings of stockholders. Any holder of Preferred
Securities or such Parity Stock so designated shall have, and the Company shall
provide, access to the lists of holders of Preferred Securities and the holders
of such Parity Stock to be called pursuant to the provisions hereof.  If no
special meeting of the holders of Preferred Securities and the holders of such
Parity Stock is called as provided in this Section 7(b), then such meeting shall
be deemed to have been called for the next annual meeting of stockholders of the
Company or special meeting of the holders of any other capital stock of the
Company.

          (iii) At any meeting held for the purposes of electing directors
at which the holders of Preferred Securities (together with the holders of
Parity Stock upon which like rights have been conferred and are exercisable)
shall have the right, voting together as a separate class, to elect directors as
aforesaid, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of at least a
majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of Preferred Securities (and
such Parity Stock) shall be required to constitute a quorum thereof.

          (iv)  Any vacancy occurring in the office of a director elected by the
holders of Preferred Securities (and such Parity Stock) may be filled by the
remaining director elected by the holders of Preferred Securities (and such
Parity Stock) unless and until such vacancy shall be filled by the holders of
Preferred Securities (and such Parity Stock).

          (v)   If an event occurs at any time that results in the holders of
any Parity Stock having voting rights to elect directors to the Board of
Directors, then holders of Preferred Securities shall, whether or not such event
otherwise constitutes a Voting Rights Triggering Event pursuant to Section
7(b)(i), have the voting rights set forth in Sections 7(b)(i) and 7(b)(ii), and
such event shall be deemed (for purposes of this Section 7 only) to constitute a
Voting Rights Triggering Event. In addition, in the event that during a time in
which directors elected by the holders of Preferred Securities pursuant to this
Section 7(b) are serving on the Board of Directors ("Previously-Elected
Directors") an event occurs that results in holders of Parity Stock having
voting rights to elect (voting together with the holders of Preferred
Securities) at least two directors to the Board of Directors, the holders of
Preferred Securities shall vote together with the holders of such Parity Stock
to elect such new directors, and upon the election of the new directors the
Previously-Elected Directors shall (unless such Previously-Elected

                                      24


Directors are elected as new directors) cease to serve on the Board of
Directors.

     (c)  (i)   So long as any shares of the Preferred Securities are
outstanding, the Company will not authorize, create or increase the authorized
amount of any class or series of Senior Stock without the affirmative vote or
consent of holders of at least two-thirds of the shares of Preferred Securities
then outstanding, voting or consenting, as the case may be, as one class, given
in person or by proxy, either in writing or by resolution adopted at an annual
or special meeting.  However, without the consent of any holder of Preferred
Securities, the Company may create additional classes of stock, increase the
authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock or issue a series of Parity Stock
or Junior Stock.

          (ii)  So long as any shares of the Preferred Securities are
outstanding, the Company will not amend this Certificate of Designations so as
to affect adversely the specified rights, preferences, privileges or voting
rights of holders of shares of Preferred Securities or to authorize the issuance
of any additional shares of Preferred Securities without the affirmative vote or
consent of holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares
of Preferred Securities, voting or consenting, as the case may be, as one class,
given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by resolution adopted at an
annual or special meeting.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company when
authorized by resolutions of its Board of Directors may amend or supplement this
Certificate of Designations without the consent of any holder to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change provided that such
amendments or supplements shall not adversely affect the interests of the
holders.

          (iii) Except as set forth in Section 7(c)(i) or (ii) above, (A)
the creation, authorization or issuance of any shares of any Junior Stock or
Parity Stock, including the designation of a series of Preferred Securities, or
(B) the increase or decrease in the amount of authorized capital stock of any
class, including Preferred Stock, shall not require the consent of holders of
Preferred Securities and shall not be deemed to affect adversely the rights,
preferences, privileges or voting rights of shares of Preferred Securities.

     (d) In any case in which the holders of Preferred Securities shall be
entitled to vote pursuant to this Section 7 or pursuant to Delaware law, each
holder of Preferred Securities entitled to vote with respect to such matters
shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Preferred Securities held.

                                      25


     (e) Except as required by law, the holders of the Preferred Securities will
not be entitled to vote on any merger or consolidation involving the Company or
a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company.

8.   Amendments to Certificate of Designations.
     -----------------------------------------

     If any proposed amendment to this Certificate of Designations provides for,
(i) any action that would adversely affect the powers, preferences or rights of
the Preferred Securities, whether by way of amendment to this Certificate of
Designations or otherwise, or (ii) the dissolution, winding-up or termination of
the Company, then the holders of outstanding Preferred Securities will be
entitled to vote on such amendment or proposal (but not on any other amendment
or proposal) and such amendment or proposal shall not be effective except with
the approval of the holders of at least a majority in liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities, voting together as a single class.

9.   Pro Rata.
     --------

                         [FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]

          Dividends payable on each Preferred Security will accrue at the
Applicable Rate applied to the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Preferred
Security.  The Applicable Rate will be 6 1/2% per annum (the "Initial Rate")
from the date of original issuance of the Preferred Securities to but excluding
the Reset Date, and the Term Rate from the Reset Date and thereafter.  The Term
Rate will be the rate established by the Remarketing Agent to be effective on
the Reset Date.  The Applicable Rate will be increased by 0.50% per annum during
the continuation of a Registration Default.  Dividends in arrears for more than
one quarter will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Applicable
Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law).  The term "Dividends" as used
herein includes such quarterly Dividends and additional Dividends on quarterly
Dividends not paid on the applicable Dividend Date, as applicable.  A Dividend
is payable only (i) to the extent that payments are made in respect of the
Preferred Securities (ii) to the extent the Company has funds available therefor
and (iii) when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company.
The amount of Dividends payable for any period will be computed for any full
quarterly Dividend period on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months, and for any period shorter than a full quarterly Dividend period for
which Dividends are computed, Dividends will be computed on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed per 30-day month.

          Except as otherwise described below, Dividends on the Preferred
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from July 14, 2000 and will be
payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, of
each year (except as provided below), commencing on October 15, 2000 to Holders
of record at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately
preceding  the applicable payment date.  The Reset Date is any date (1) not
later than July 15, 2005 (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day), and (2) not earlier than 80 Business Days prior to
July 15, 2005, as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent, in its sole
discretion, for settlement of a successful remarketing. The fifteenth day of the
month immediately preceding each Dividend Date is the record date for
determining which holders of Preferred Securities shall be paid the Dividends,
if any, payable on such Dividend Date.  If the Reset Date is prior to the record
date for the immediately following Dividend Date, then Dividends, if any,
accrued from and after the Reset Date to but excluding the immediately following
Dividend Date shall be paid on such Dividend Date to the person in whose name
each Preferred Security is registered on the relevant record date.  If the Reset
Date is on or after the record date for the immediately following Dividend Date,
then (1) Dividends, if any, accrued from and after the record date to but
excluding the Reset Date shall be paid on the immediately following Dividend
Date to the person

                                       1


          in whose name each Preferred Security is registered on the relevant
record date and (2) Dividends, if any, accrued from and after the Reset Date to
but excluding the immediately following Dividend Date shall be paid on the
second Dividend Date immediately following the Reset Date to the person in whose
name each Preferred Security is registered on the relevant record date for such
second Dividend Date.

          The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Certificate of Designations.

          The Preferred Securities shall be convertible into shares of Class D
Common, in the manner and according to the terms set forth in the Certificate of
Designations.

          Holders of restricted Preferred Securities shall have all the rights
and obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.

prepare and, not later than the Filing Deadline, shall file with the Commission

under the Act as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the
Effectiveness Deadline, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and
sale of the Securities by the Holders from time to time in accordance with the
methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf
Registration Statement; provided, however, that no Holder (other than a
                        --------  -------
Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such
Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by
all the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder.

          (b)  The Company shall use its best efforts

               (i) to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously
          effective in order to permit the Prospectus included therein to be
          lawfully delivered by the Holders of the relevant Securities, for a
          period of two years (or for such other period as shall be required
          under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act or any successor rule thereto)

          period being called the "Shelf Registration Period"):

               (A) when all the Preferred Securities covered by the Shelf
               Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf
               Registration Statement, or

               (B) when all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of any
               such Preferred Securities that had not been sold pursuant to the
               Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to the Shelf
               Registration Statement and

                                       5


               (ii) during the Shelf Registration Period, promptly upon the
          request of any Holder to take any action reasonably necessary to
          register the sale of any Securities of such Holder and to identify
          such Holder as a selling securityholder.

          The Company shall be deemed not to have used its best efforts to keep
the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period
if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Securities
covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities during such
period, unless such action is required by applicable law.

          (c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary,
the Company shall cause the Shelf Registration Statement and the related
Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of
the Shelf Registration Statement, amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the
rules and regulations of the Commission and (ii) not to contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that
failure by the Company to comply with this Section 2(c) shall not be deemed a
breach of this provision if such failure results from inclusion of any untrue
statement or materials provided by Holders, in writing, specifically for
inclusion in such Shelf Registration Statement, related Prospectus or amendment
or supplement thereto.

     3.   Registration Procedures.  In connection with any Shelf Registration
Statement, the following provisions shall apply:

          (a) The Company shall furnish to (i) the Purchasers, and (ii) any
other Holders who so request, and their respective counsel and accountants,
prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of any Shelf
Registration Statement, and each amendment thereof and each amendment or
supplement, if any, to the Prospectus included therein and shall use its
reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the
Commission, such comments as the Purchasers and such other Holders reasonably
may propose.

          (b) The Company shall give written notice to the Purchasers and the
Holders:

               (i) when the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment
          thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the

                                       6


          Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto
          has become effective; and

               (ii) of any written request by the Commission for amendments or
          supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus
          included therein or for additional information.

               (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order
          suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or
          the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

               (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with
          respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities
          included therein for sale in any state or the initiation or
          threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and

               (v) of the happening, during the Shelf Registration Period, of
          any event that requires the making of any changes in the Shelf
          Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, the
          Registration Statement and the Prospectus do not contain an untrue
          statement of a material fact and do not omit to state a material fact
          required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
          therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in light of the circumstances
          under which they were made) not misleading (which advice shall be
          accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus
          until the requisite changes have been made).

          (c) The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance,
and if issued to obtain the withdrawal, of any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible time.

          (d) The Company shall furnish to each Purchaser and each requesting
Holder of Securities included within the coverage of any Shelf Registration
Statement, without charge, at least one copy of such Shelf Registration
Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto (including, to any such
Purchaser or Holder who so requests, any reports or other documents incorporated
therein by reference), including financial statements and schedules included
therein, and, if such Holder so requests, all exhibits (including those
incorporated by reference).

                                       7


          (e) The Company shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver
to each Holder of Securities included within the coverage of any Shelf
Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus
(including each preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf Registration
Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably
request; and the Company consents to the use, in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement, of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto by each
of the selling Holders of Securities in connection with the offering and sale of
the Securities covered by the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto
during the Shelf Registration Period.

          (f) Prior to any offering of Securities pursuant to any Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company shall register or qualify, or shall
cooperate with the Holders of Securities included therein and their respective
counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of, such Securities
for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such states as any
such Holders reasonably request in writing and do any and all other acts or
things necessary or advisable to enable the offer and sale in such states of the
Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that
the Company will not be required to qualify generally to do business in any
jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action which would
subject it to general service of process or to taxation in any such jurisdiction
where it is not then so subject.

          (g) Unless the applicable Securities shall be in book-entry only form,
the Company shall cooperate with the Holders of Securities to facilitate the
timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Securities to be
sold pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement free of any restrictive
legends and in such permitted denominations and registered in such names as
Holders may request in connection with the sale of Securities pursuant to such
Shelf Registration Statement.

          (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraphs (ii)
through (v) of Section 3(b) above (other than a request by the Commission solely
for additional information as referred to in Section 3(b)(ii) and unless
directed otherwise by the Commission), the Company shall promptly prepare and
file a post-effective amendment to any Shelf Registration Statement or an
amendment or supplement to the related Prospectus or file any other required
document so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of the
Securities included therein, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue statement
of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not

                                       8


misleading. If the Company notifies the Purchasers or the Holders of the
Securities in accordance with paragraphs (ii) through (v) of Section 3(b) above
to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes to the
Prospectus have been made, then the Purchasers and the Holders of the Securities
shall suspend use of the Prospectus for such time.

          (i) Not later than the effective date of any Shelf Registration
Statement hereunder, the Company shall provide a CUSIP number for the Preferred
Securities registered under such Shelf Registration Statement, and provide the
applicable transfer agent with certificates for such Securities, in a form
eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company.

          (j) The Company shall use its best efforts to comply with all
applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally
available to its security holders (or otherwise provide in accordance with
Section 11(a) of the Securities Act) as soon as practicable after the effective
date of the applicable Shelf Registration Statement an earning statement
satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, but in no
event later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such
period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company's first
fiscal quarter commencing after the effective date of the Registration
Statement, which statement shall cover such 12-month period.

          (k) The Company may require each Holder of Securities to be sold
pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement as a condition to the registration
of such Holder's Securities thereunder to furnish to the Company such
information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Securities as the
Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in such Shelf
Registration Statement.  Each Holder who offers and sells Securities by means of
the Shelf Registration Statement shall do so in accordance with the terms
thereof and the requirements of the Securities Act.

          (l) The Company shall, if requested, promptly incorporate in a
Prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to a Shelf Registration
Statement, such information as the Managing Underwriters, if any, reasonably
agree should be included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably
object and shall make all required filings of such Prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after it is notified of the
matters to be incorporated in such Prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment.

                                       9


          (m) The Company shall enter into such customary agreements (including
underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all other appropriate
actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition
of the Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is
entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and
procedures substantially identical to those set forth in Section 5 hereof (or
such other customary provisions and procedures acceptable to the Managing
Underwriters, if any) with respect to all parties to be indemnified pursuant to
Section 5 hereof.

          (n) The Company shall (i) make reasonably available for inspection by
the Holders of Securities to be registered thereunder, any underwriter
participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement,
and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by such Holders or any such
underwriter, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate
documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries as shall reasonably
be requested in connection with the discharge of their due diligence
obligations; (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and
independent public accountants and to supply at the Company's expense all
relevant information reasonably requested by such Holders or any such
underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Shelf
Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations;
provided, however, that any information that is designated in writing by the
Company in good faith as confidential at the time of delivery of such
information shall be kept confidential by such Holders or any such underwriter,
attorney, accountant or agent, unless such disclosure is made in connection with
a court proceeding or required by law, or such information becomes available to
the public generally or through a third party without an accompanying obligation
of confidentiality; and provided further that the foregoing inspection and
information gathering shall be coordinated on behalf of the Holders and the
other parties entitled thereto by one counsel who shall be Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP unless another nationally-recognized law firm with
specialization in securities laws shall be chosen by the Company; (iii) make
such representations and warranties to the Holders of Securities registered
thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are
customarily made by the issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten
offerings and covering matters as are customarily covered in representations and
warranties requested in primary underwritten offerings including, but not
limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (iv) obtain opinions of
counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form,
scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing
Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if
any, thereof and dated, in the case of the initial opinion, the effective date
of such Shelf Registration Statement (it being agreed that the matters to be
covered by such opinion shall

                                       10


include, without limitation, the due incorporation and good standing of the
Company and its subsidiaries; the due authorization, execution and delivery of
the relevant agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(m) hereof; the due
authorization, execution, authentication and issuance, and the validity and
enforceability, of the applicable Securities; the absence of material legal or
governmental proceedings involving the Company and its Subsidiaries; the absence
of governmental approvals required to be obtained in connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the offering and sale of the applicable Securities, or
any agreement of the type referred to in Section 3(m) hereof; the compliance as
to form of such Shelf Registration Statement and any documents incorporated by
reference therein with the requirements of the Securities Act; and, as of the
date of the opinion and as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration
Statement or most recent post-effective amendment thereto, as the case may be,
that such counsel does not believe that such Shelf Registration Statement and
the Prospectus included therein, as then amended or supplemented, and any
documents incorporated by reference therein contain an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state therein a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case
of any such documents, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time
that such documents were filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act); (v)
cause its officers to execute and deliver all customary documents and
certificates and updates thereof requested by such Holders and any underwriters
of the applicable Securities and (vi) cause its independent public accountants
and the independent public accountants with respect to any other entity for
which financial information is provided in the Shelf Registration Statement to
provide to the Holders of the applicable Securities and any underwriter therefor
a comfort letter in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily
covered in comfort letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings,
subject to receipt of appropriate documentation as contemplated, and only if
permitted, by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 72. The foregoing actions set
forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of this Section 3(n) shall be
performed at (A) the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement and each
post-effective amendment thereto and (B) each closing under any underwritten
offering of the Securities to the extent required under any related underwriting
or similar agreement.

          (o) The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Common Stock
relating to such Shelf Registration Statement to be listed on each securities
exchange, over-the-counter market, or respective counterpart if any, on which
any shares of Common Stock are then listed.

          (p) The Company shall, in the event that any broker-dealer registered
under the Exchange Act shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a

                                       11


member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or "assist in the
distribution" (within the meaning of the Rules of Fair Practice and the By-Laws
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  ("NASD")) thereof,
whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or
sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, assist such
broker-dealer in complying with the requirements of such Rules and By-Laws,
including, without limitation, by (A) if such Rules or By-Laws, including Rule
2720, shall so require, engaging a "qualified independent underwriter" (as
defined in Rule 2720) to participate in the preparation of the Shelf
Registration Statement relating to such Securities, to exercise usual standards
of due diligence in respect thereto and, if any portion of the offering
contemplated by such Shelf Registration Statement is an underwritten offering or
is made through a placement or sales agent, to recommend the yield of such
Securities, (B) indemnifying any such qualified independent underwriter to the
extent of the indemnification of underwriters provided in Section 5 hereof and
(C) providing such information to such broker-dealer as may be required in order
for such broker-dealer to comply with the requirements of the Rules of Fair
Practice of the NASD.

          (q) The Company shall use its best efforts to take all other steps
necessary to effect the registration, offering and sale of the Securities
covered by the Shelf Registration Statement contemplated hereby.

     4.   Registration Expenses.  (a) All expenses incident to the Company's
performance of and compliance with this Agreement will be borne by the Company,
regardless of whether a Shelf Registration Statement is ever filed or becomes
effective, including without limitation;

               (i) all registration and filing fees and expenses;

               (ii) all fees and expenses of compliance with federal securities
          and state "blue sky" or securities laws;

               (iii) all expenses of printing (including printing certificates
          for the Securities without the Restrictive Legend to be issued and
          printing of Prospectuses), messenger and delivery services and
          telephone;

               (iv) all fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company;

               (v) all application and filing fees in connection with listing
          the Securities on a national securities exchange or automated
          quotation system pursuant to the requirements hereof; and

                                       12


               (vi) all fees and disbursements of independent certified public
          accountants of the Company (including the expenses of any special
          audit and comfort letters required by or incident to such
          performance).

          The Company will bear its internal expenses (including, without
limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing
legal or accounting duties), the expenses of any annual audit and the fees and
expenses of any person, including special experts, retained by the Company.

          (b) In connection with any Shelf Registration Statement required by
this Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Purchasers and the Holders who
are selling or reselling Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement
for the reasonable fees and disbursements of not more than one counsel, who
shall be Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP unless another nationally-
recognized law firm with specialization in securities laws shall be chosen by
the Company; provided that such fees and disbursements do not exceed $35,000.

     5.   Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  In connection with any Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Purchasers, each Holder of Securities covered thereby (including the
Purchasers), their respective partners, directors, and officers  and each
person, if any, who controls the Purchasers or any such Holder within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each Purchaser, Holder and such
controlling persons are referred to collectively as the "Indemnified Parties")
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any
actions in respect thereof (including, but not limited to, any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the
Securities) to which each Indemnified Party may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state statutory law or
regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
the Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment or
supplement thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, or in any
amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon 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, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and shall reimburse
each such Indemnified Party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided,

                                       13


however, that (i) the Company will not be liable in any case to the extent that
any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any
such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchasers or any
such Holder specifically for inclusion therein and (ii) the foregoing indemnity,
with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission made in any preliminary Prospectus relating to a Shelf
Registration Statement, shall not inure to the benefit of any Holder (or any
person controlling such Holder) from whom the person asserting any such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities purchased the Securities concerned, to the extent
that a Prospectus relating to such Securities was required to be delivered by
such Holder under the Securities Act in connection with such purchase and any
such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Holder results from the fact that
there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written
confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such person, a copy of the final
Prospectus if the Company had previously furnished copies thereof to such Holder
at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such Securities to such
person and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission contained in the preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the
final Prospectus (or the final prospectus as supplemented). This indemnity
agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise
have.

          The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, their officers,
directors and each person who controls such underwriters within the meaning of
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as provided above with
respect to the indemnification of the Holders of the Securities and shall, if
requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such
agreement, as provided in Section 3(m) and Section 6 hereof.

          (b) Each Holder of Securities covered by a Shelf Registration
Statement (including the Purchasers) severally, and not jointly, agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless (i) the Company, (ii) each of the directors of the
Company, (iii) each of its officers who signs such Shelf Registration Statement
and (iv) each person who controls the Company within the meaning of either the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity
from the Company, but only in respect of written information relating to such
Holder furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for
inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity.  This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which any such Holder
may otherwise have.

                                       14


          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
5 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a
governmental investigation), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5,
notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so
to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under
paragraph (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action is brought against any
indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to
the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly
notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of such
indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume
the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such
indemnified party under this Section 5 for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  No indemnifying party
shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any
settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes an
unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims
that are the subject matter of such action and does not include a statement as
to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of
any indemnified party.

          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 5 is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsections (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in
subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one
hand and the indemnified party on the other from the Initial Placement and the
Shelf Registration Statement or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing
clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i)
above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the
one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the parties shall be determined
by reference to, among other things, whether

                                       15


the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the
case may be, on the other, and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d)
shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action
or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Section 5(d), the Holders of the Securities shall not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net
proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to
the Shelf Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such
Holders have otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this paragraph (d), each person,
if any, who controls such indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such
indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the
meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.

          (e) The agreements contained in this Section 5 shall survive the sale
of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full
force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

     6.   Underwritten Offering.  If, pursuant to written notice delivered to
the Company by the Holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation amount of the
Preferred Securities or a majority of holders of the Common Stock, as the case
may be, registered pursuant to a Shelf Registration, such Holders so elect, the
offer and sale of any such Preferred Securities and/or Common Stock may be
effected in the form of an underwritten offering.  In any such underwritten
offering, the investment banker or bankers and manager or managers that will
administer the offering will be selected by, and the underwriting arrangements
with respect thereto will be approved by, the Company; provided, however, that
such investment bankers and managers and underwriting arrangements must be
reasonably satisfactory to the Holders of a majority of the Securities to be
included in such offering.  No Holder may participate in any underwritten
offering contemplated hereby unless such Holder (a) agrees to

                                       16


sell such Holder's Securities in accordance with any approved underwriting
arrangements, and (b) completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires,
powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, lock-up letters and
other documents required under the terms of such approved underwriting
arrangements.

     7.   Changes to the Applicable Rate Under Certain Circumstances. (a) The
Applicable Rate at which dividends are paid on the Preferred Securities shall be
adjusted as follows, if any of the following events occur (each such event in
clauses (i) through (iii) below, a "Registration Default"):

               (i) if a Shelf Registration Statement is not filed with the
          Commission on or prior to the Filing Deadline;

               (ii) if the Shelf Registration Statement is not declared
          effective by the Commission on or prior to the Effectiveness Deadline;

               (iii) if (A) after the Shelf Registration Statement is declared
          effective, such Shelf Registration Statement ceases to be effective
          prior to the end of the Shelf Registration Period or (B) such Shelf
          Registration Statement or the related Prospectus ceases to be usable
          in connection with resales of Securities covered by such Shelf
          Registration Statement prior to the end of the Shelf Registration
          Period because either (1) any event occurs as a result of which the
          related Prospectus forming part of such Shelf Registration Statement
          would include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
          any material fact necessary to make the statements therein in the
          light of the circumstances in which they were made not misleading or
          (2) it shall be necessary to amend such Shelf Registration Statement,
          or supplement the related Prospectus, to comply with the Securities
          Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules thereunder.

          Each of the foregoing will constitute a Registration Default whatever
the reason for any such event and whether it is voluntary or involuntary or is
beyond the control of the Company or pursuant to operation of law or as a result
of any action or inaction by the Commission.

          Additional dividends (the "Additional Dividends") shall accrue on the
Securities over and above the rate set forth in the title of the Securities from
and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to
but excluding the date on which all such Registration Defaults have been cured,
at a rate

                                       17


of 0.50% per annum (the "Additional Dividend Rate").  The increase in the
Applicable Rate attributable to any Registration Default shall cease to be
effective from the date such Registration Default is cured, and the Applicable
Rate shall be reduced at such time to the Applicable Rate in effect immediately
prior to such Registration Default; provided, however, in the event a
Registration Default occurs prior to the Reset Date and is cured on or after the
Reset Date, the Applicable Rate shall be the Term Rate from the date such
Registration Default is cured.

          (b) A Registration Default referred to in Section 7(a)(iii) shall be
deemed not to have occurred and be continuing in relation to the Shelf
Registration Statement or the related Prospectus if (i) such Registration
Default has occurred solely as a result of (x) the filing of a post-effective
amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement to incorporate annual audited
financial information with respect to the Company where such post-effective
amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit
Holders to use the related Prospectus or (y) the occurrence of other material
events or developments with respect to the Company that would need to be
described in such Registration Statement or the related Prospectus and (ii) in
the case of clause (y), the Company is proceeding promptly and in good faith to
amend or supplement such Registration Statement and related Prospectus to
describe such events; provided, however, that in any case if such Registration
                      --------  -------
Default occurs for a continuous period in excess of 30 days, Additional
Dividends shall be payable in accordance with the above paragraph from the day
such Registration Default occurred until such Registration Default is cured.

          (c) Any amounts of Additional Dividends due pursuant to Section 7(a)
will be payable in cash on the regular dividend payment dates with respect to
the Securities.  The amount of Additional Dividend will be determined by
multiplying the applicable Additional Dividend Rate by the principal amount of
the Securities and further multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days such Additional Dividend Rate was applicable during such
period (determined on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day
months), and the denominator of which is 360.

     8.  Rules 144 and 144A.  The Company shall use its best efforts to file
the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file
such reports, it will, upon the request of any Holder of Securities, make
publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of its
securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A of the Securities Act, or any
successor regulation or statute thereto.  The Company covenants that it will
take such further action as any Holder

                                       18


of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to
time to enable such Holder to sell Securities without registration under the
Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and
144A (including the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). The Company will provide a
copy of this Agreement to prospective purchasers of Securities identified to the
Company by the Purchasers upon request. Upon the request of any Holder of
Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to
whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
nothing in this Section 8 shall be deemed to require the Company to register any
of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.

     9.   Miscellaneous.

          (a) Remedies.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by
              --------
it to comply with its obligations under Section 2 hereof may result in material
irreparable injury to the Purchasers or the Holders for which there is no
adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such
injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Purchasers or
any Holder may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the
Company's obligations under Section 2 hereof.  The Company further agrees to
waive the defense in any action for specific performance of Section 2 hereof
that a remedy at law would be adequate.

          (b) No Inconsistent Agreements.  The Company has not, as of the date
              --------------------------
hereof, entered into, nor shall it on or after the date hereof, enter into, any
agreement with respect to its securities or otherwise that is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders herein or otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof.

          (c) Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement,
              ----------------------
including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, qualified,
modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the
provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written
consent of a majority in principal amount, liquidation preference or voting
rights (as applicable ) of the Securities affected by such amendment,
qualification, modification, supplement, waiver or consent.

          (d) Notices.  All notices and other communications provided for or
              -------

telegraphed and confirmed or faxed and confirmed:

          (1) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such

                                       19

     Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation;

          (2) if to the Purchasers, c/o Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation,
     Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: Investment

          The Purchaser or the Company by notice to the other may designate
additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.

          (e) Third Party Beneficiaries.  The Holders shall be third party
              -------------------------
beneficiaries to the agreements made hereunder between the Company, on the one
hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, and shall have the right to enforce
such agreements directly to the extent they may deem such enforcement necessary
or advisable to protect their rights or the rights of Holders hereunder.

          (f) Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit
              ----------------------
of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties and the
Holders, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by
the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities.  The Company hereby
agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Securities and
any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if
an original party hereto.

          (g) Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of
              ------------
counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

          (h) Headings.  The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of
              --------
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

          (i) Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
              -------------
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO
PRINCIPLES OF

                                       20


CONFLICTS OF LAWS.

          (j) Securities Held by the Company.  Whenever the consent or approval
              ------------------------------
of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities is
required hereunder, Securities held by the Company or its affiliates (other than
subsequent Holders of Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be
affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities) shall not be
considered to be outstanding and shall not be counted in determining whether
such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.

          (k) Severability.  In the event that any one of more of the provisions
              ------------
contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held
invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity,
legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of
the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected
thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties
shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

                           (Signature page follows.)

          WHEREAS the Company is issuing on today's date or has heretofore
issued $260,000,000 (or up to $310,000,000 to the extent the option granted by
the Company is exercised in full) aggregate Liquidation Amount (as defined

          NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

          1.  Definitions.  (a)  The following terms shall have the meanings

          6.  Disclosure Documents and Other Information.  (a)  If (i) the
              -------------------------------------------
Registration Statement is not required to be filed with the Commission pursuant
to the provisions of Section 2(b) of this Agreement and (ii) the Remarketing
Agent determines that it is necessary or desirable to use a disclosure document
in connection with the performance of its obligation to remarket the Subject
Securities, the Remarketing Agent will notify the Company and the Company will
provide to the Remarketing Agent prior to the Tender Notification Date at the
Company's expense a disclosure document or documents reasonably satisfactory to
the Remarketing Agent and its counsel in respect of the Subject Securities
(collectively, and including any documents or other information incorporated by
reference therein, the "Nonregistered Offering Documents").  The Company will
                        --------------------------------
supply the Remarketing Agent at the Company's expense with such number of copies
of the Disclosure Documents as the Remarketing Agent reasonably requests from
time to time.  The Company will supplement and amend the Disclosure Documents so
that at all times they will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements in the
Disclosure Documents, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading.

          (b)  The Company agrees to furnish to the Remarketing Agent (i) as
promptly as practicable after they are available, all regular and periodic
reports, if any, which the Company files with the Commission, if any, under the
Exchange Act and all reports which the Company provides generally to holders of
its publicly held securities and (ii) from time to time, such other information
concerning the Company as the Remarketing Agent may reasonably request.

          (c)  The Company will provide the Remarketing Agent with such
certificates, opinions of counsel, accountants' letters and other support for
the information contained in any Disclosure Documents as the Remarketing Agent
and its counsel may reasonably request.

          (d)  If the Registration Statement is filed with the Commission, the
Company agrees that it will:

          (i)  prepare the Registration Statement in conformity with the
     requirements of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations;

          (ii)  cause the Registration Statement to become effective prior to
     the Tender Notification Date (or such later date as may be permitted in
     accordance with the provisions of Section 2(b));

          (iii)  prepare the Prospectus in a form approved by the Remarketing
     Agent and file the Prospectus in accordance with Rule 424(b) (or any
     successor applicable rule) under the Securities Act and Rule 430A(a)(3) (or
     any successor applicable rule) under the Securities Act; make no further
     amendment or any supplement to the Registration Statement or to the
     Prospectus except as permitted herein; advise the Remarketing Agent,
     promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when any amendment
     to the Registration Statement has been filed or becomes effective or any
     supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus has been filed and
     furnish the Remarketing Agent with copies

                                       16


     thereof; advise the Remarketing Agent, promptly after it receives notice
     thereof, of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order or of any
     order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary Prospectus or the
     Prospectus, of the suspension of the qualification of the securities
     covered by such Registration Statement for offering or sale in any
     jurisdiction, of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for any
     such purpose, or of any request by the Commission for the amending or
     supplementing of the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or for
     additional information; and in the event of the issuance of any stop order
     or of any order preventing or suspending the use of any Preliminary
     Prospectus or the Prospectus or suspending any such qualification, promptly
     use its reasonable best efforts to obtain its withdrawal;

          (iv)  furnish promptly to the Remarketing Agent and to counsel for the
     Remarketing Agent a signed copy of the Registration Statement as originally
     filed with the Commission, and each amendment thereto filed with the
     Commission, including all consents and exhibits filed therewith;

          (v)  deliver promptly to the Remarketing Agent such number of the
     following documents as the Remarketing Agent shall reasonably request: (1)
     conformed copies of the Registration Statement as originally filed with the
     Commission and each amendment thereto (in each case excluding exhibits) and
     (2) each Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amended or
     supplemented Prospectus; and, if the delivery of a Prospectus is required
     at any time after the Effective Time in connection with the offering or
     sale of the securities covered by the Registration Statement and if at such
     time any events shall have occurred as a result of which the Prospectus as
     then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a
     material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make
     the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
     were made when such Prospectus is delivered, not misleading, or, if for any
     other reason it shall be necessary to amend or supplement the Prospectus in
     order to comply with the Securities Act, notify the Remarketing Agent and,
     upon its request, prepare and furnish without charge to the Remarketing
     Agent as many copies as the Remarketing Agent may from time to time
     reasonably request of an amended or supplemented Prospectus which will
     correct such statement or omission or effect such compliance;

          (vi)  file promptly with the Commission any amendment to the
     Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any supplement to the
     Prospectus that may, in the judgment of the Company or the Remarketing
     Agent, be required by the Securities Act or requested by the Commission;

          (vii)  prior to filing with the Commission any amendment to the
     Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus or any Prospectus
     pursuant to Rule 424 (or any applicable successor rule) of the Rules and
     Regulations, furnish a copy thereof to the Remarketing Agent and counsel
     for the Remarketing Agent;

          (viii)  as soon as practicable after the Effective Time, make
     generally available to the Company's security holders and deliver to the
     Remarketing

                                       17


     Agent an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need
     not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) (or any applicable successor
     section) of the Securities Act and the Rules and Regulations (including, at
     the option of the Company, Rule 158 (or any applicable successor rule));

          (ix)  promptly from time to time take such action as the Remarketing
     Agent may request to qualify the securities covered by the Registration
     Statement for offering and sale under the securities laws of such
     jurisdictions as the Remarketing Agent may request and to take all steps
     necessary to comply with such laws so as to permit the continuance of sales
     and dealings therein in such jurisdictions for as long as may be necessary
     to complete the distribution of the Subject Securities; provided, however,
                                                             --------  -------
     that in connection therewith the Company will not be required to qualify as
     a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of process in
     any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified; and

          (x)  use its best effort to have the Subject Securities listed on any
     securities exchange or quoted in any automated inter-dealer quotation
     system reasonably requested by the Remarketing Agent.

          7.  Indemnification.  (a)  The Company will indemnify and hold
              ---------------
harmless the Remarketing Agent, its partners, directors and officers and each
person, if any, who controls such Remarketing Agent within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which the Remarketing Agent may become
subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as
such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in any Disclosure Document, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any Exchange Act Report or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein not misleading, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, and will reimburse the Remarketing
Agent for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Remarketing
Agent in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however,
                                                          --------  -------
that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such
loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from
any Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agent specifically for
use therein.

          (b)  The Remarketing Agent will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company and its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject,
under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such
losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out
of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Disclosure Documents, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to

                                       18


make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by the Remarketing Agent specifically for use therein,
and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the
Company in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action
is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i)
an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any
claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a
statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of an indemnified party.

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in this Section is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent on the other from the
Remarketing of the Subject Securities in accordance with this Agreement or (ii)
if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable
law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the
Company on the one hand and the Remarketing Agent on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages
or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The
relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Remarketing
Agent on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the aggregate
outstanding Liquidation Amount bear to the fees received by

                                       19


the Remarketing Agent from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault
shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission
to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the
Remarketing Agent and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or
omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this
subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending
any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding
the provisions of this subsection (d), the Remarketing Agent shall not be
required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the aggregate
outstanding Liquidation Amount of the Subject Securities remarketed exceeds the
amount of any damages which the Remarketing Agent has otherwise been required to
pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission.

          (e)  The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the
Remarketing Agent within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act;
and the obligations of the Remarketing Agent under this Section shall be in
addition to any liability which the Remarketing Agent may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act.

          (f)  The Company agrees to indemnify and hold the Tender Agent
harmless against any loss, liability or expense (including the reasonable fees
and expenses of the Tender Agent's counsel) incurred without negligence or bad
faith on the Tender Agent's part arising out of or in connection with the
carrying out of the Tender Agent's duties hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending the Tender Agent against any claim or liability.  In no
case shall the Company be liable under this indemnity with respect to any claim
against the Tender Agent unless the Company shall be notified in writing by the
Tender Agent of the written assertion of a claim against the Tender Agent
promptly after the Tender Agent shall have received any such written assertion.
The Company shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense
of any suit brought to enforce any such claim; and if the Company so elects at
any time after receipt of such notice, the Company shall assume the defense of
any such suit.  In the event that the Company shall so assume the defense of any
such suit, the Company shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel thereafter retained by the Tender Agent, so long as the
Company shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Tender Agent to
defend such suit.

          8.  Remarketing Agent's Liabilities.  Except as specifically provided
              --------------------------------
in Section 7, the Remarketing Agent shall incur no liability to the Company, the
Tender Agent or any holder of Subject Securities for its actions as Remarketing
Agent pursuant to the terms hereof without gross negligence or in the absence of
wilful misconduct. The undertaking of the Remarketing Agent to remarket any
Subject Securities shall be on a "best efforts" basis.

                                       20


          9.  Termination.  This Agreement will terminate upon the earliest to
              ------------
occur of the following:  (i) the written agreement of all parties hereto; (ii)
the date that no Subject Security is outstanding; and (iii) the day immediately
following the Reset Date. The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 11 and 12 hereof will
continue in effect as to actions prior to the date of termination, and each
party will pay to the others any amounts owing at the time of termination.

          10.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.  (a)  The
               --------------------------------------------------
Remarketing Agent may resign at any time hereunder by giving at least 30 days'
written notice thereof to the Company and the Tender Agent.  No successor need
have accepted its appointment for such resignation to be effective.

          (b)  The Remarketing Agent may be removed at any time for Cause by the
holders of a majority in aggregate Par Amount of the Subject Securities
outstanding, by written notice to the Remarketing Agent, the Tender Agent and
the Company.  No successor need have accepted its appointment for such removal
to be effective.

          (c)  If the Remarketing Agent resigns or is removed in accordance with
Section 10(b), the Company will use its best efforts to appoint as the successor
Remarketing Agent hereunder an investment bank, broker, dealer or other
organization which, in the judgment of the Company, is qualified to remarket the
Subject Securities and to establish the Term Provisions.  If the Company fails
to so appoint a successor Remarketing Agent reasonably promptly, in light of the
proximity of the Tender Notification Date, or if such successor fails to accept
such appointment, the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Par Amount of
the Subject Securities outstanding, by written notice to the Tender Agent and
the Company, may appoint a successor Remarketing Agent which is an investment
bank, broker, dealer or other organization qualified to remarket the Subject
Securities and to establish the Term Provisions; provided that for purposes of
                                                 --------
determining the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Par Amount of the
Subject Securities outstanding, Subject Securities owned by the Company or any
of its affiliates shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding.

          (d)  A successor Remarketing Agent shall accept its appointment by
executing and delivering a written instrument of acceptance to the Tender Agent
and the Company.

          (e)  The provisions of Sections 7, 8, 11 and 12 hereof will continue
in effect as to actions of the Remarketing Agent prior to the date of
resignation or removal, and the Remarketing Agent will pay to and have the right
to receive from the other parties hereto any amounts owing at the time of such
event.

          (f)  The Tender Agent shall provide written notice of each resignation
and each removal of the Remarketing Agent and each appointment of a successor
Remarketing Agent and such successor's acceptance thereof by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to the holders of the Subject Securities as their names and
addresses appear in the applicable register.

          (g)  Any corporation or other entity into which the Remarketing Agent
may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
corporation

                                       21


resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Remarketing
Agent may be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all
of the business of the Remarketing Agent, shall be the successor of the
Remarketing Agent hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

          11.  Dealing in Subject Securities by Remarketing Agent.  The
               --------------------------------------------------
Remarketing Agent, either as principal or agent, may buy, sell, own, hold and
deal in Subject Securities, and may join in any action which any owner of the
Subject Securities may be entitled to take with like effect as if it did not act
in any capacity hereunder. Except as provided in the next succeeding sentence,
the Remarketing Agent is under no obligation at any time to purchase Subject
Securities.  If the Term Rate is established by the Remarketing Agent but on the
Reset Date the Remarketing Agent is unable to consummate the sale of one or more
Subject Securities tendered for remarketing, the Remarketing Agent shall
purchase such Subject Securities on the Reset Date for 101% of their aggregate
Par Amount; provided, however, that the Remarketing Agent shall have no
            --------  -------
obligation to purchase such Subject Securities in the event of a Failed
Remarketing.  The Remarketing Agent agrees that the purchase of Subject
Securities for its own account or the account of its affiliates will be upon
terms no more favorable to it than those pertaining to the purchase of Subject
Securities in the market (which shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent in
its sole discretion) in general at the time of such purchase and that neither it
nor its affiliates will elect to retain Subject Securities on the Reset Date if
the Subject Securities could be remarketed pursuant to this Agreement on terms
more favorable to the Company than the terms upon which the Remarketing Agent or
such affiliates would continue to hold it.  The Remarketing Agent, either as
principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any financial or
other transaction with the Company and may act as depository, trustee or agent
for any committee or body of owners of Subject Securities or other obligations
of the Company as freely as if it had no obligations hereunder.

          12.  Records.  The Remarketing Agent agrees to keep books and records
               -------
relating to its activities as Remarketing Agent in accordance with standard
industry practice.

          13.  Purchase and Sales by Company.  While the Company and its
               -----------------------------
affiliates may from time to time purchase, hold and sell Subject Securities, the
Company and the Remarketing Agent acknowledge that neither the Company nor any
affiliate of the Company may acquire or bid to acquire Subject Securities on the
Reset Date or submit orders in the Remarketing.  The Remarketing Agent agrees
that it will not knowingly remarket any Subject Securities to the Company or any
of its affiliates.

          14.  Communication of Remarketing Conditions.  The Remarketing Agent
               ---------------------------------------
agrees, upon request from time to time by any holder of Subject Securities and
to the extent the Remarketing Agent deems advisable, to advise such holder of
current Remarketing Conditions.

                                RADIO ONE, INC.

                 Select Provisions of the Preferred Securities

          Dividends payable on each Preferred Security will accrue at the
Applicable Rate applied to the stated liquidation amount of $1,000 per Preferred
Security.  The Applicable Rate will be 6 1/2% per annum (the "Initial Rate")
from the date of original issuance of the Preferred Securities to but excluding
the Reset Date, and the Term Rate from the Reset Date and thereafter.  The Term
Rate will be the rate established by the Remarketing Agent to be effective on
the Reset Date.  The Applicable Rate will be increased by 0.50% per annum during
the continuation of a Registration Default.  Dividends in arrears for more than
one quarter will bear interest thereon compounded quarterly at the Applicable
Rate (to the extent permitted by applicable law).  The term "Dividends" as used
herein includes such quarterly Dividends, and additional Dividends on quarterly
Dividends not paid on the applicable Dividend Date, as applicable.  A Dividend
is payable only to the extent that payments are made in respect of the Preferred
Securities, to the extent the Company has funds available therefor, and when and
as declared by the Board of Directors of the Company.  The amount of Dividends
payable for any period will be computed for any full quarterly Dividend period
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and for any period
shorter than a full quarterly Dividend period for which Dividends are computed,
Dividends will be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed per
30-day month.

          Except as otherwise described below, Dividends on the Preferred
Securities will be cumulative, will accrue from July 14, 2000 and will be
payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15, of
each year (except as provided below), commencing on October 15, 2000 to  of
record at the close of business on the fifteenth day of the month immediately
preceding  the applicable payment date.  The Reset Date is any date (1) not
later than July 15, 2005 (or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next
succeeding Business Day), and (2) not earlier than 80 Business Days prior to
July 15, 2005, as may be determined by the Remarketing Agent, in its sole
discretion, for settlement of a successful remarketing.  The fifteenth day of
the month immediately preceding each Dividend Date is the record date for
determining which holders of Preferred Securities shall be paid the Dividends,
if any, payable on such Dividend Date.  If the Reset Date is prior to the record
date for the immediately following Dividend Date, then Dividends, if any,
accrued from and after the Reset Date to but excluding the immediately following
Dividend Date shall be paid


on such Dividend Date to the person in whose name each Preferred Security is
registered on the relevant record date. If the Reset Date is on or after the
record date for the immediately following Dividend Date, then (1) Dividends, if
any, accrued from and after the record date to but excluding the Reset Date
shall be paid on the immediately following Dividend Date to the person in whose
name each Preferred Security is registered on the relevant record date and (2)
Dividends, if any, accrued from and after the Reset Date to but excluding the
immediately following Dividend Date shall be paid on the second Dividend Date
immediately following the Reset Date to the person in whose name each Preferred
Security is registered on the relevant record date for such second Dividend
Date.
          The Preferred Securities shall be redeemable as provided in the
Certificate of Designations.

          The Preferred Securities shall be convertible into shares of Class D
Common, in the manner and according to the terms set forth in the Certificate of
Designations.

          Holders of restricted Preferred Securities shall have all the rights
and obligations set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.


                                                                   Exhibit 10.61

 As Representatives of the Several Purchasers,
   c/o Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation,
     Eleven Madison Avenue,
       New York, N.Y. 10010-3629

Dear Sirs:

          1.   Introductory.  Radio One, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the
"Company"), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, that
the Company issue and sell to the several initial purchasers named in Schedule A
hereto (the "Purchasers") 260,000 6 1/2% Convertible Preferred Securities
Remarketable Term Income Deferrable Equity Securities (HIGH TIDES)(SM)
(the "Firm Securities") and also proposes that the Company issue and sell to the
Purchasers, at the option of the Purchasers, an aggregate of not more than
50,000 additional HIGH TIDES ("Optional Securities") as set forth below. The
Firm Securities and the Optional Securities


that the Purchasers may elect to purchase pursuant to Section 3 hereof are
herein collectively called the "Offered Securities". The Offered Securities will
be convertible into shares of Class D common stock, par value $.001 per share,
of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"). Holders (including subsequent
transferees) of the Offered Securities (or any security into which the Offered
Securities are converted) will have the registration rights set forth in the
Registration Rights Agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the "Registration
Rights Agreement") to be entered into between the Company and the Purchasers.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company agrees to file with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a shelf registration
statement (the "Shelf Registration Statement") pursuant to Rule 415 under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), to register sales of
the Offered Securities, and the shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon
conversion thereof (collectively, the "Registrable Securities") following the
sale of the Offered Securities contemplated hereby.

               The Company agrees with the Purchasers as follows:

          2.   Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The Company
represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the several Purchasers that:

          (a) An offering circular relating to the Offered Securities to be
offered by the Purchasers shall be prepared by the Company, and delivered to the
Purchasers at such place or places as they may direct, at or prior to such time
as Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation ("CSFBC") requests.  Such offering
circular together with any other document approved by the Company for use in
connection with the contemplated resale of the Offered Securities, are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Offering Document".  The Offering
Document shall not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The
preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the
Offering Document based upon written information furnished to the Company by any
Purchaser through CSFBC specifically for use therein, it being understood and
agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 7(b).
Except as disclosed in the Offering Document, on the date of this Agreement, the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K most recently filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and all subsequent reports (collectively,
the "Exchange Act Reports") which have been filed by the Company with the
Commission or sent to stockholders pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "Exchange Act") do not include any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  Such
documents, when they were filed with the Commission, conformed in all material
respects to the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
of the Commission thereunder.

          (b) The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing
corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power
and authority (corporate and other) to own its properties and conduct its
business as described in the Offering Document; and the Company is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other
jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its

                                       2


business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify
would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on
the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of
operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole ("Material
Adverse Effect").

          (c) Each Subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated and is
an existing corporation  in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
its incorporation, with power and authority (corporate and other) to own its
properties and conduct its business as described in the Offering Document; each
Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership
or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification,
except where the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect;
all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Subsidiary of the
Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and
nonassessable; except as described in the Offering Document, the capital stock
of each Subsidiary owned by the Company, directly or through Subsidiaries, is
owned free from liens, encumbrances and defects.  For purposes of this
agreement, "Subsidiary" means, as applied to any person, any corporation,
limited or general partnership, trust, association or other business entity of
which an aggregate of at least 50% of the outstanding Voting Shares or an
equivalent controlling interest herein, of such person is, at any time, directly
or indirectly, owned by such person and/or one or more subsidiaries of such
person, including with respect to the Company.  For purposes of the definition
of "Subsidiary", "Voting Shares," means with respect to any corporation, the
capital stock having the general voting power under ordinary circumstances to
elect at least a majority of the board of directors (irrespective of whether or
not at the time stock of any other class or classes shall have or might have
voting power by reason of the happening of any contingency).

          (d) The Offered Securities have been duly authorized by the Company
and, when the Offered Securities have been delivered and paid for in accordance
with this Agreement, on each Closing Date (as defined below), such Offered
Securities will have been validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and will
conform to the description thereof contained in the Offering Document; the
issuance of the Offered Securities is not subject to preemptive or other similar
rights; the Offered Securities will have the rights set forth in a certificate
of designations, in a form reasonably acceptable to CSFBC, which shall be
validly authorized and approved by the Company and filed with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware on or before the First Closing Date (as defined
below) ("the "Certificate of Designations") and the Offered Securities when
issued and delivered against payment therefor as provided herein will be valid
and binding obligations of the Company.

          (e) Subject to receipt of the consents, approvals, authorizations and
orders described in the last sentence of this paragraph, the consummation of any
or all of the transactions described in the Offering Document under the caption
"RECENT AND PENDING TRANSACTIONS" (collectively, the "Transactions") will not
result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any statute, any rule, regulation or order of, any
governmental agency or body (including, but not limited to, any order published
or otherwise known to the Company of the Federal Communications Commission
("FCC")) or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company
or any subsidiary of the Company or any

                                       3


of their properties, or any agreement or instrument to which the Company or any
such subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any such subsidiary is
bound or to which any of the properties of the Company or any such subsidiary is
subject, or the charter or by-laws of the Company or any such subsidiary. The
agreements (collectively, the "Transaction Agreements") to effectuate the
Transactions have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company
and its affiliates which are parties thereto and constitute valid and binding
agreements of the Company and its affiliates, enforceable against the Company
and its affiliates in accordance with their terms (subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or
other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
generally and general principles of equity, regardless of whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). Except as set
forth in the Offering Document, no consent, approval, authorization, or order
of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body (including, without
limitation, the FCC) or any court or other person was or is required to be
obtained or made by the Company for the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Agreements and consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby, except such as have been already obtained or may be required under the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules, regulations and published
administrative orders promulgated thereunder (collectively, the "Federal
Communications Laws").

          (f) The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized by the
Company and, when executed and delivered, will conform in all material respects
to the description thereof contained in the Offering Document.  The Registration
Rights Agreement, when validly executed and delivered by the Company, will
constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company and will be
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights
and to general equity principles and except that the enforceability of the
rights to indemnity and contribution pursuant to Section 5 thereof may be
limited by federal or state securities laws or by principles of public policy.

          (g) The Remarketing Agreement has been duly authorized and when
validly executed and delivered by the Company and the Tender Agent, will
constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles; and
it will conform in all material respects to the description thereof in the
Offering Document.

          (h) When the Offered Securities are delivered and paid for pursuant to
this Agreement on each Closing Date, such Offered Securities will be convertible
into the Common Stock of the Company in accordance with their terms and the
terms of the Certificate of Designations (the Common Stock into which the
Offered Securities are ultimately convertible are referred to herein as the
"Underlying Shares"); the Underlying Shares initially issuable upon conversion
of such Offered Securities have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance
upon such conversion and, when issued upon such conversion, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable; the outstanding shares of Company Common
Stock and the Underlying Shares will conform to the description thereof
contained in the Offering Document; and the stockholders of the Company have no
preemptive rights with respect to the Offered Securities, or the Underlying
Shares.

                                       4


          (i) Except as shall be disclosed in the Offering Document, there are
no contracts, agreements or understandings between the Company and any person
that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company or any Purchaser for a
brokerage commission, finder's fee or other like payment in connection with this
offering.

          (j) Except as (i) disclosed in the Offering Document, (ii) provided
for in this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or (iii) set forth on
Schedule B hereto, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between
the Company and any person granting such person the right to require the Company

or in any securities being registered pursuant to any other registration
statement filed by the Company under the Securities Act.

          (k) No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with,
any governmental agency or body (including, without limitation, the FCC) or any
court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement or by the Remarketing Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement
(collectively, the "Company Agreements") in connection with the issuance and
sale of the Offered Securities, except for in connection with the Registration
Rights Agreement, (i) the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with the
Commission under the Securities Act, (ii) the order of the Commission declaring
the Shelf Registration Statement effective and (iii) any actions required by
state securities laws.

          (l) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Company Agreements by the Company, and the issuance and sale of the Offered
Securities by the Company and compliance with the terms and provisions of each
of the foregoing by the Company, and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated herein and therein will not result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under,
any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body
(including without limitation, any order  published or otherwise known to the
Company of the FCC) or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over
the Company, or any Subsidiary of the Company or any of their properties, or any
agreement or instrument to which the Company, or any such Subsidiary is a party
or by which the Company, or any such Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the
properties of the Company, or any such Subsidiary is subject, or the charter,
by-laws or other organizational document of the Company, or any such Subsidiary,
and the Company has full power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the
Offered Securities, as contemplated by this Agreement.

          (m) This Agreement and the Company Agreements have been duly
authorized, and this Agreement has been, and the Company Agreements shall be on
the Closing Date, executed and delivered by the Company.

          (n) Except as shall be disclosed in the Offering Document, the Company
and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real properties and
all other properties and assets owned by them, in each case free from liens,
encumbrances and defects that

                                       5


would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use
made or to be made thereof by them; and except as shall be disclosed in the
Offering Document, the Company and its Subsidiaries hold any leased real or
personal property under valid and enforceable leases with no exceptions that
would materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them.

          (o) The Company and  its Subsidiaries possess adequate certificates,
authorities or permits  and hold all necessary licenses issued by appropriate
governmental agencies or bodies (including, without limitation, licenses issued
by the FCC) necessary to conduct the business now operated by them and have not
received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of
any such certificate, authority, permit or license that, if determined adversely
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would individually or in the
aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in material violation of any material requirement of any Federal
Communications Law or any published order of any court or administrative agency
or authority relating thereto.  The Company and the identified subsidiaries are
the holders of the main commercial radio station licenses issued by the FCC
listed in Attachment I hereto (the "Current FCC Licenses"), all of which are in
full force and effect, for the maximum term customarily issued, with no material
conditions, restrictions or qualifications other than as described in the
Offering Document or that appear in the ordinary course in the Current FCC
Licenses, and such Current FCC Licenses constitute all of the commercial radio
station licenses necessary for the Company and the subsidiaries to own their
properties and to conduct their businesses in the manner and to the full extent
now operated.  Upon consummation of the Transactions (i) the Company and the
identified subsidiaries will be the holders of the main commercial radio station
licenses issued by the FCC listed in Attachment II hereto (the "Prospective FCC
Licenses") and (ii) the Company has no reason to believe that all Prospective
FCC Licenses will not be in full force and effect, for the maximum term
customarily issued, with no material conditions, restrictions or qualifications
other than as described in the Offering Document or that appear in the ordinary
course in the Prospective FCC Licenses, and such Prospective FCC Licenses
constitute all of the material commercial radio station licenses necessary for
the Company and the subsidiaries to operate the radio stations relating to the
Transactions as described in the Offering Document.

          (p) No labor dispute with the employees of the Company or any
Subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent that might
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (q) The Company and its Subsidiaries own, possess or can acquire on
reasonable terms, adequate trademarks, trade names and other rights to
inventions, know-how, patents, copyrights, confidential information and other
intellectual property (collectively, "intellectual property rights") necessary
to conduct the business now operated by them, or presently employed by them, and
have not received any notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights
of others with respect to any intellectual property rights that, if determined
adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would individually or in
the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect.

                                       6


          (r) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has filed all necessary
federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise tax returns that are
required to be filed, except where the failure to file such returns would not
have a Material Adverse Effect and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has
paid all taxes shown as due thereon, except for any assessment, fine or penalty
that is currently being contested in good faith and for which adequate reserves
have been provided or as described in the Offering Document.

          (s) Except as shall be disclosed in the Offering Document, neither the
Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any statute, any rule,
regulation, decision or order of any governmental agency or body or any court,
domestic or foreign, relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or
toxic substances or relating to the protection or restoration of the environment
or human exposure to hazardous or toxic substances  (collectively,
"Environmental Laws"), owns or operates any real property contaminated with any
substance that is subject to any Environmental Laws, is liable for any off-site
disposal or contamination pursuant to any environmental laws, or is subject to
any claim relating to any environmental laws, which violation, contamination,
liability or claim would individually or in the aggregate have a Material
Adverse Effect; and the Company is not aware of any pending investigation which
might lead to such a claim.

          (t) Except as shall be disclosed in the Offering Document, there are
no pending actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or investigations before or
brought by any court or governmental agency or body (including, without
limitation, the FCC)  against or affecting the Company, any of its Subsidiaries
or any of their respective properties that, if determined adversely to the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, would individually or in the aggregate have
a Material Adverse Effect, would result in the revocation or non-renewal of any
of the Current FCC Licenses, or would materially and adversely affect the
ability of the Company or its Subsidiaries to perform their respective
obligations under, or contemplated by, this Agreement or the Company Agreements,
or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Offered
Securities; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or, to the
knowledge of the Company, contemplated.

          (u) The financial statements that shall be included in the Offering
Document shall present fairly the financial position of the Company and its
consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates shown and their results of operations
and cash flows for the periods shown, and, except as otherwise shall be
disclosed in the Offering Document, such financial statements shall have been
prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States applied on a consistent basis; and the assumptions used in
preparing the pro forma financial statements included in the Offering Document
shall provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly
attributable to the transactions or events described therein, the related pro
forma adjustments shall give appropriate effect to those assumptions, and the
pro forma columns therein shall reflect the proper application of those
adjustments to the corresponding historical financial statement amounts.

          (v) The statistical and market-related data (other than market-related
data and statistical data provided by the Company) included in the Offering
Document shall be based on or derived from sources which the Company believes to
be reliable and accurate, it being

                                       7


understood, however, that the Company has conducted no independent investigation
of the accuracy thereof.

          (w) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) make and keep
accurate books and records and (ii) maintain internal accounting controls that
provide reasonable assurance that (A) transactions are executed in accordance
with management's authorization, (B) transactions are recorded as necessary to
permit preparation of its financial statements and to maintain profitability for
its assets, (C) access to its assets is permitted only in accordance with
management's authorization and (D) the reported accountability for its assets is
compared with existing assets at reasonable intervals.

          (x) Except as shall be disclosed in the Offering Document, since the
date of the latest audited financial statements that shall be included in the
Offering Document there shall have been no material adverse change, nor any
development or event involving a prospective material adverse change, in the
condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of
the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, and, except as disclosed in
or contemplated by the Offering Document, there has been no dividend or
distribution of any kind declared, paid or made by the Company on any class of
its capital stock, except for the stock dividend effective on June 6, 2000.

          (y) The Company is not an open-end investment company that is or is
required to be registered under Section 8 of the United States Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"); and the Company
is not and, after giving effect to the offering, the sale of the Offered
Securities, and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the
Offering Document, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the
Company Agreements, will not be an "investment company" as defined in the
Investment Company Act.

          (z) No securities of the Company of the same class (within the meaning
of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Securities Act) as the Offered Securities are
listed on any national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the
Exchange Act or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system.

          (aa)  The offer and sale of the Offered Securities by the Company
to the several Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement will be
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act by reason of
Section 4(2) thereof and Rule 144A thereunder.

          (bb)  Notwithstanding the public offering by the Company pursuant
to a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-30286), neither the
Company nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on behalf of any of the
foregoing (i) has, within the six-month period prior to the date hereof, offered
or sold in the United States or to any U.S. person (as such terms are defined in
Regulation S under the Securities Act) the Offered Securities or any security of
the same class or series as the Offered Securities or (ii) has offered or will
offer or sell the Offered Securities in the United States by means of any form
of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c)
under the Securities Act.  The Company has not entered and will

                                       8


not enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of
the Offered Securities except for this Agreement.

          (cc) The Company is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act.

          3.   Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Offered Securities.  On the basis
of the representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject
to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees that the
Company shall sell to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers agree, severally and
not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $1,000 per
Offered Security plus accrued dividends from July 14, 2000 to the First Closing
Date (as hereinafter defined), the respective number of shares of Firm
Securities set forth opposite the names of the several Purchasers in Schedule A
hereto.

          The Company will deliver against payment of the purchase price the
Firm Securities in the form of one or more permanent global securities in
definitive form (the "Firm Global Securities") deposited with The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC") or its custodian and registered in the name of Cede & Co.,
as nominee for DTC.  Interests in any permanent global securities will be held
only in book-entry form through DTC, except in the limited circumstances that
shall be described in the Offering Document.  Payment for the Firm Securities
shall be made by the Purchasers in Federal (same day) funds by official bank
check or checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to CSFBC
drawn to the order of Radio One, Inc. at the office of CSFBC at 10:00 A.M. (New
York time), on July 14, 2000 (the "Closing Time"), or at such other time not
later than seven full business days thereafter as CSFBC and the Company
determine, such time being herein referred to as the "First Closing Date",
against delivery to DTC or its custodian of the Firm Global Securities
representing all of the Firm Securities.  The Firm Global Securities will be
made available for checking at the above office of CSFBC (or such other location
as CSFBC may direct), at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.

          In addition, upon written notice from CSFBC given to the Company from
time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Offering
Document, the Purchasers may purchase all or less than all of the Optional
Securities at the purchase price per liquidation amount of Offered Securities
(including any accrued dividends thereon to the related Optional Closing Date)
to be paid for the Firm Securities. The Company agrees that it shall sell to the
Purchasers the number of Optional Securities specified in such notice and the
Purchasers agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional
Securities. Such Optional Securities shall be purchased for the account of each
Purchaser in the same proportion as the number of Firm Securities set forth
opposite such Purchaser's name bears to the total number of Firm Securities
(subject to adjustment by CSFBC to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by
the Purchasers at their discretion. No Optional Securities shall be sold or
delivered unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously
are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase the Optional Securities or any
portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not
previously exercised may be surrendered and terminated at any time upon notice
by CSFBC to the Company.

                                       9


          Each time for the delivery of and payment for the Optional Securities,
being herein referred to as an "Optional Closing Date", which may be the First
Closing Date (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any,
being sometimes referred to as a "Closing Date"), shall be determined by CSFBC
on behalf of the Purchasers but shall be not later than five full business days
after written notice of election to purchase Optional Securities is given.  The
Company will deliver against payment of the purchase price the Optional
Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing Date in the form of one or
more permanent global securities in definitive form (each, an "Optional Global
Security") deposited with DTC or its custodian and registered in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.  Payment for such Optional Securities shall be
made by the Purchasers in Federal (same day) funds by official bank check or
checks or wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to CSFBC drawn to the
order of Radio One, Inc. at the office of CSFBC against delivery to DTC or its
custodian of the Optional Global Securities representing all of the Optional
Securities being purchased on such Optional Closing Date.

          As compensation for the Purchasers' commitments, the Company will pay
to CSFBC the sum of $30 per Offered Security times the total number of Offered
Securities purchased by the Purchasers on each Closing Date as commissions for
the sale of the Offered Securities under this Agreement.  Such payment will be
made on each Closing Date with respect to the Offered Securities purchased on
such Closing Date.

          4.   Representations by Purchasers; Resale by Purchasers.

          (a) Each Purchaser severally represents and warrants to the Company
that it is an "accredited investor" within the meaning of Regulation D under the
Securities Act and a "dealer" within the meaning of Rule 144A ("Rule 144A")
under the Securities Act.

          (b) Each Purchaser severally acknowledges that the Offered Securities
have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold
within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons
except pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act.  Each Purchaser severally represents and agrees that, except as
permitted herein, it will not offer, sell or deliver the Offered Securities as
part of its distribution at any time within the United States or to, or for the
account or benefit of, U.S. persons, except in reliance on Rule 144A.

          (c) Each Purchaser severally agrees that it and each of its affiliates
has not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with respect
to the distribution of the Offered Securities except for any such arrangements
with the other Purchasers or affiliates of the other Purchasers or with the
prior written consent of the Company.

          (d) Each Purchaser severally agrees that it and each of its affiliates
will not offer or sell the Offered Securities in the United States by means of
any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of
Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act, including, but not limited to (i) any
advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any
newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or
(ii) any

                                       10


seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation
or general advertising. Each Purchaser severally agrees, with respect to resales
made in reliance on Rule 144A of any of the Offered Securities, to deliver
either with the confirmation of such resale or otherwise prior to settlement of
such resale a notice to the effect that the resale of such Offered Securities
has been made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

          (e) Each Purchaser severally represents and agrees that (i) it has not
solicited, and will not solicit, offers to purchase any of the Offered
Securities from, (ii) it has not sold, and will not sell, any of the Offered
Securities to, and (iii) it has not distributed, and will not distribute, the
Offering Document to, any person or entity in any jurisdiction outside of the
United States except, in each case, in compliance in all material respects with
all applicable laws.  For the purposes of this Agreement, "United States" means
the United States of America, its territories, its possessions and other areas
subject to its jurisdiction.

          5.   Certain Agreements of the Company.  The Company agrees with the
several Purchasers that:

          (a) The Company will advise CSFBC promptly of any proposal to amend or
supplement the Offering Document and will not effect such amendment or
supplementation without CSFBC's consent.  If, at any time prior to the
completion of the resale of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers, any event
occurs as a result of which the Offering Document as then amended or
supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the
Company promptly will notify CSFBC of such event and promptly will prepare, at
its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or
omission or effect such compliance. Neither CSFBC's consent to, nor the
Purchasers' delivery to offerees or investors of, any such amendment or
supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in
Section 6.

          (b) The Company will furnish to CSFBC copies of any preliminary
offering circular, the Offering Document and all amendments and supplements to
such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as
CSFBC requests, and the Company will promptly furnish to CSFBC three copies of
the Offering Document signed by a duly authorized officer of the Company, one of
which will include the independent accountants' reports therein manually signed
by such independent accountants. At any time when the Company is not subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly furnish or
cause to be furnished to CSFBC (and, upon request, to each of the other
Purchasers, if any) and, upon request of holders and prospective purchasers of
the Offered Securities, to such holders and purchasers, copies of the
information required to be delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of
the Offered Securities pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or
any successor provision thereto) in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A in
connection with resales by such holders of the Offered Securities.  The Company
will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Purchasers all such
documents.

                                       11


          (c) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Offered
Securities for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment
under the laws of such jurisdictions as CSFBC designates and will continue such
qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale of the Offered
Securities by the Purchasers, provided that the Company will not be required to
qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such state.

          (d) So long as any Offered Securities remain outstanding, the Company
will furnish to CSFBC and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers, if
any, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its
annual report to stockholders for such year; and the Company will furnish to
CSFBC and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers, if any, (i) as soon as
available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the
Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to
stockholders, and (ii) from time to time, such other information concerning the
Company as CSFBC may reasonably request.

          (e) During the period of two years after the later of the Closing Date
and the last Optional Closing Date, the Company will, upon request, furnish to
CSFBC and, each of the other Purchasers, if any, and any holder of Offered
Securities a copy of the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Offered
Securities.

          (f) During the period of two years after the later of the Closing Date
and the last Optional Closing Date, the Company will not, and will not permit
any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to,
resell any of the Offered Securities that have been reacquired by any of them.

          (g) During the period of two years after the later of the Closing Date
and the last Optional Closing Date, the Company will not be or become, an open-
end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company
that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment
Company Act.

          (h) The Company will pay all expenses incidental to the performance of
its obligations under this Agreement and the Company Agreements, including (i)
all expenses in connection with the execution, issue, authentication, packaging
and initial delivery of the Offered Securities, (ii) all of the Company's
expenses in connection with the preparation and printing of this Agreement, the
Company Agreements, the Offered Securities, the Offering Document and amendments
and supplements thereto, and any other document relating to the issuance, offer,
sale and delivery of the Offered Securities; (iii) the cost of qualifying the
Offered Securities for trading in The Portal(SM) Market ("PORTAL") of the NASDAQ
Stock Market, Inc. and any expenses incidental thereto; (iv) for any expenses
(including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with
qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such
jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as CSFBC designates and the
printing of memoranda relating thereto; (v) for any fees charged by investment
rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities; and (vi) for expenses
incurred in distributing preliminary offering circulars and the Offering
Document (including any amendments and supplements thereto) to the Purchasers.
The Company will pay for all travel expenses of the Company's officers and
employees and any other

                                       12


expenses of the Company in connection with attending or hosting meetings with
prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities.

          (i) In connection with the offering, until CSFBC shall have notified
the Company and the other Purchasers of the completion of the resale of the
Offered Securities, neither the Company nor any of their affiliates has or will,
either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase for any
account in which it or any of its affiliates has a beneficial interest, or
attempt to induce any person to purchase, any Offered Securities or Company
Common Stock; and neither they nor any of their affiliates will make bids or
purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or
of raising the price of, the Offered Securities or Company Common Stock.


          (j) For a period of 60 days after the date of the initial offering of
the Offered Securities (the "Lock-Up Period"), the Company will not, and will
not permit its Subsidiaries to, offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or
otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a
registration statement under the Securities Act (other than one or more
registration statements (x) on Form S-3 relating solely to the registration of
shares issuable upon the sale of transferred employee stock options or (y) on
Form S-8) relating to any additional shares of (A) any preferred securities or
any preferred stock, (B) any preferred stock or any other security of the
Company that is substantially similar to the Offered Securities, (C) any shares
of common stock of the Company other than shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Offered Securities or (D) any other securities which are
convertible into, or exchangeable or exercisable for, any of (A) through (D), or
publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge,
disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of CSFBC except (i)
grants of employee stock options pursuant to the terms of a plan in effect on
the date hereof or hereafter, (ii) issuances of Company Common Stock pursuant to
the exercise of such options, or (iii) the exercise of any other employee stock
options outstanding on the date hereof.  Such agreement will not prevent the
offer, sale, contract to sell, announcement of an intention to sell, or other
disposition of, or filing with the Commission by the Company and the Company of
(x) a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights
Agreement) relating solely to (i) the Offered Securities, (ii) Company Common
Stock issued or delivered upon conversion of the Offered Securities, or (iii)
securities issued or delivered upon conversion, exchange or exercise of any
other securities of the Company outstanding on the date of the offering circular
related to the Offered Securities and (y) a shelf registration statement
pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act relating to debt securities,
warrants for debt securities or Company Common Stock, provided, however, that
the Company shall not offer, sell, contract to sell, announce an intention to
sell, or other disposition of, any securities of the type described in clauses
(A) through (D) above under such registration statement during the Lock-Up
Period.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Company
will not at any time offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose
of, directly or indirectly, any securities under circumstances where such offer,
sale, pledge, contract or disposition would cause the exemption afforded by
Section 4(2) of the Securities Act to cease to be applicable to the offer and
sale of the Offered Securities.

                                       13


          6.   Conditions of the Obligations of the Purchasers.  The obligations
of the several Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Firm Securities on the
First Closing Date and the Optional Securities to be purchased on each Optional
Closing Date will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and
warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements
of officers of the Company made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the
performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following
additional conditions precedent:

          (a) The Purchasers shall have received a letter, dated the date of
delivery hereof, of Arthur Andersen LLP confirming that they are independent
public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Act and the applicable
published rules and regulations thereunder (the "Rules and Regulations") and
stating to the effect that:

               (i) in their opinion the financial statements and schedules
     examined by them and included in the Offering Document and in the Exchange
     Act Reports comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable
     accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related published
     Rules and Regulations;

               (ii) they have performed the procedures specified by the
     American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for a review of interim
     financial information as described in Statement of Auditing Standards No.
     71, Interim Financial Information, on the unaudited financial statements
     included in the Offering Document and in the Exchange Act Reports;

               (iii) on the basis of the review referred to in clause (ii)
     above, a reading of the latest available interim financial statements of
     the Company, inquiries of officials of the Company who have responsibility
     for financial and accounting matters and other specified procedures,
     nothing came to their attention that caused them to believe that:

                    (A) the unaudited financial statements included in the
               Offering Document and in the Exchange Act Reports do not comply
               as to form in all material respects with the applicable
               accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related
               published Rules and Regulations or any material modifications
               should be made to such unaudited financial statements for them to
               be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles;

                    (B) the unaudited consolidated net revenue, net operating
               income and summary of earnings, net income and net income per
               share amounts for the 3-month period ended March 31, 1999 and
               2000 included in the Offering Document do not agree with the
               amounts set forth in the unaudited consolidated financial
               statements for those same periods or were not determined on a
               basis substantially consistent with that of the corresponding
               amounts in the audited statements of income;

                                       14


                    (C) at the date of the latest available balance sheet read
               by such accountants, or at a subsequent specified date not more
               than three business days prior to the date of this Agreement,
               there was any change in the capital stock or any increase in
               short-term indebtedness or long-term debt of the Company and its
               consolidated subsidiaries or, at the date of the latest available
               balance sheet read by such accountants, there was any decrease in
               consolidated net current assets or net assets, as compared with
               amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included in the
               Offering Document; or

                    (D) for the period from the closing date of the latest
               income statement included in the Offering Document to the closing
               date of the latest available income statement read by such
               accountants there were any decreases, as compared with the
               corresponding period of the previous year, and with the period of
               corresponding length ended the date of the latest income
               statement included in the Offering Document, in consolidated net
               broadcasting revenues, or net operating income or in the total or
               per share amounts of consolidated net income or in the ratio of
               earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends combined,
               except in all cases set forth in clauses (B) and (D) above for
               changes, increases or decreases which the Offering Document
               discloses have occurred or may occur or which are described in
               such letter; and

               (iv) on the basis of their review of the unaudited pro forma
     financial statements, selected consolidated financial data and ratio of
     earnings to fixed charges included in the Offering Document and inquiries
     of officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and
     accounting matters and other specified procedures, nothing came to their
     attention that caused them to believe that the unaudited pro forma
     financial, selected consolidated financial data and ratio of earnings to
     fixed charges statements included in the Offering Document do not each
     comply as to form in all material respects with the accounting requirements
     under the Securities Act as generally applicable to such information if
     included in a registration statement; and

               (v) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or percentages
     derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial information contained
     in the Offering Document and in the Exchange Act Reports (in each case to
     the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial
     information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company
     and its Subsidiaries subject to the internal controls of the Company's
     accounting system or are derived directly from such records by analysis or
     computation) with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such
     general accounting records and other procedures specified in such letter
     and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial
     information to be in agreement with such results, except as otherwise
     specified in such letter.

                                       15


          (b) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there
shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a
prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties
or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole
which, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Purchasers including the
CSFBC, is material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to
proceed with completion of the public offering or the sale of and payment for
the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt
securities or preferred stock of the Company by any "nationally recognized
statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under
the Securities Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has
under surveillance or review its rating of any debt securities or preferred
stock of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a
possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such
rating); (iii) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum
prices for trading on such exchange, or any suspension of trading of any
securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market;
(iv) any banking moratorium declared by U.S. Federal or New York authorities; or
(v) any outbreak or escalation of major hostilities in which the United States
is involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other substantial
national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of a
majority in interest of the Purchasers including CSFBC, the effect of any such
outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency makes it impractical or
inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and
payment for the Offered Securities.

          (c) The Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated such Closing
Date, of Kirkland & Ellis, counsel for the Company, to the effect that:

               (i) Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries is a corporation
     validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of
     its incorporation, the Company has the full corporate power to enter into
     and perform its obligations hereunder and the Company and each of its
     subsidiaries has the corporate power to own and lease its properties and to
     carry on its business as described in the Offering Document;

               (ii) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is duly
     qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in and is in good
     standing in each jurisdiction listed opposite its name on Attachment III
     hereto;

               (iii) All of the issued and outstanding shares of capital
     stock of, or other ownership interests in, each of the Subsidiaries listed
     on Attachment IV have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully
     paid and nonassessable, and to such counsel's knowledge, all such shares
     are owned, directly or through wholly owned Subsidiaries of the Company, by
     the Company, free and clear of any lien, except as described in the
     Offering Document;

                                       16


               (iv) (A) Each of the Company Agreements has been duly
     authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and (B) each of the
     Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date has been duly authorized,
     executed, issued and delivered and is fully paid and nonassessable;

               (v) The Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date are
     convertible into the shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with the
     Certificate of Designations; the Underlying Shares issuable upon conversion
     of the Offered Securities have been duly authorized and reserved for
     issuance upon such conversion and, when issued upon such conversion in
     accordance with the Certificate of Designations, will be validly issued,
     fully paid and nonassessable; and the stockholders of the Company have no
     preemptive rights with respect to the Offered Securities or the Underlying
     Shares;

               (vi) No consent, approval, authorization or order of, or
     filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for
     the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by this
     Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement in connection with the
     issuance or sale of the Offered Securities by the Company, except for (A)
     any of the foregoing as may be required under state securities or blue sky
     laws and (B) in connection with the Registration Rights Agreement, (1) the
     filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with the Commission under the
     Securities Act and (2) the order of the Commission declaring the Shelf
     Registration Statement effective;

               (vii)  Except as set forth in the Offering Document, to such
     counsel's knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings,
     pending or actively threatened against, the Company or any of its
     subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that, if determined
     adversely to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, would individually or
     in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect;

               (viii)  To such counsel's knowledge, there are no outstanding
     options, warrants or other rights calling for the issuance of, or any
     commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any shares of capital stock of
     the Company or any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable
     for any capital stock of the Company, except as described in the Offering
     Document.

               (ix)  The execution, delivery and performance of this
     Agreement and the Company Agreements, the issuance and sale of the Offered
     Securities, and compliance by the Company with the terms and provisions
     hereof and thereof will not (A) violate any statute, rule, regulation or
     order of which such counsel is aware of any governmental agency or body or
     any court having jurisdiction over the Company or any Subsidiary of the
     Company or any of their respective properties, (B) to such counsel's
     knowledge, breach the provisions of, or cause a default under, any
     agreement or instrument to which the Company or any

                                       17


     such Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any such Subsidiary
     is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company or any such
     Subsidiary is subject, or (C) violate any provision of the charter, by-laws
     or any other constitutive document of the Company or any such Subsidiary;

               (x) The Exchange Act Reports, when they were filed with the
     Commission, appeared on their face to comply as to form in all material
     respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and
     regulations of the Commission thereunder; while such counsel is not passing
     upon and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or
     fairness of the statements contained in the Offering Document except to the
     extent specifically set forth in this paragraph (x), such counsel has no
     reason to believe that the Offering Document or any amendment or supplement
     thereto (including Exchange Act Reports) as of its date and as of such
     Closing Date, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
     state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
     the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
     are made,  not misleading; the statements in the Offering Document under
     the captions "The Remarketing," "The Remarketing Agent," "Description of
     HIGH TIDES," "Registration Rights," "Certain United States Federal Income
     Tax Consequences," and "Description of Capital Stock," insofar as such
     statements constitute summaries of laws, regulations, legal matters,
     agreements or other legal documents referred to therein, are accurate in
     all material respects and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein;
     it being understood that such counsel need express no opinion or belief as
     to the financial statements or other financial or statistical data derived
     therefrom included in the Offering Document;

               (xi)  This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and
     delivered by the Company; and

               (xii)  Based upon and assuming the accuracy of the
     representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, it is not
     necessary in connection with either (A) the offer, sale and delivery to the
     Purchasers of the Offered Securities or (B) the resales of the Offered
     Securities by the Purchasers in the manner contemplated by this Agreement,
     to register the Offered Securities under the Securities Act.

          (d) The Purchasers shall have received an opinion, dated such Closing
Date, of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, FCC Counsel to the Company, to the effect
that:

               (i) Except as previously made or obtained, or as disclosed in the
     Offering Document, as the case may be, no filing or registration with, or
     authorization, approval, consent, license, order, qualification or decree
     of any court or administrative agency or authority is necessary or required
     under the Federal Communications Laws to be obtained or made by the Company
     or any Subsidiary of the Company for the consummation of the Transactions
     described in

                                       18


     the Offering Document or in connection with the execution or delivery by
     the Company of the Company Agreements, the performance by the Company of
     the transactions contemplated thereby or the offering, issuance or sale of
     the Offered Securities, all as of the date hereof.

               (ii)  To their knowledge, neither the Company nor any of its
     Subsidiaries is in violation in any material respect of any Federal
     Communications Law or in violation of any published order of any court or
     administrative agency or authority relating thereto.

               (iii) The Company and the identified Subsidiaries are the
     holders of the Current FCC Licenses, all of which are in full force and
     effect, for the maximum term customarily issued, with no material
     conditions, restrictions or qualifications other than as described in the
     Offering Document or that appear in the ordinary course in the Current FCC
     Licenses, and to their knowledge, such Current FCC Licenses constitute all
     of the commercial radio station licenses necessary for the Company and the
     Subsidiaries to own their properties and to conduct their businesses in the
     manner and to the full extent now operated as described in the Offering
     Document. To their knowledge there are no facts or circumstances which
     would justify the Commission denying the pending applications for
     assignment of any of the Prospective FCC Licenses, or approving the
     assignment for less than the maximum term customarily issued, or with
     material conditions, restrictions or qualifications other than as described
     in the Offering Document.

               (iv)  The execution, delivery and performance of this
     Agreement, and the issuance and sale of the Offered Securities do not and
     will not violate any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
     under (A) the Federal Communications Laws or (B) the Current FCC licenses
     held by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.

               (v)   There are no published or, to their knowledge, unpublished
     FCC orders, decrees or rulings outstanding against the Company or any of
     its Subsidiaries or any pending or threatened actions, suits or proceedings
     against the Company or any of its subsidiaries by or before the FCC that
     seek to revoke, or if determined adversely to the Company or any of its
     subsidiaries, would have a Material Adverse Effect or would result in a
     revocation or non-renewal of, any of the Current FCC Licenses, other than
     as disclosed in the Offering Document.

          (e) The Purchasers shall have received from Skadden, Arps, Slate,
Meagher & Flom LLP, counsel for the Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated
such Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the Company, the
validity of the Offered Securities delivered on such Closing Date, the Offering
Document and other related matters as the Purchasers

                                       19


may require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents
as they request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

          (f) The Purchasers shall have received a certificate, dated such
Closing Date, of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of
the Company, in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after
reasonable investigation, shall state that: the representations and warranties
of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct; the Company has complied
with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or
satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Closing Date; and, subsequent to the
date of the most recent financial statements in the Offering Document, there has
been no material adverse change, nor any development or event involving a
prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or other),
business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in or contemplated by the
Offering Document or as described in such certificate.

          (g) The Purchasers shall have received a letter, dated such Closing
Date, of Arthur Anderson LLP which meets the requirements of subsection (a) of
this Section, except that the specified date referred to in such subsection will
be a date not more than three days prior to such Closing Date for the purposes
of this subsection.

          The Company will furnish the Purchasers with such conformed copies of
such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Purchasers reasonably
request.  CSFBC may in its sole discretion waive on behalf of the Purchasers
compliance with any conditions to the obligations of the Purchasers hereunder,
whether in respect of an Optional Closing Date or otherwise.

          7.   Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The  Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its partners, directors and officers
and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser may become subject, under
the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact contained in the Offering Document, or any amendment or supplement thereto,
or the Exchange Act Reports or arise out of or are based upon 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 not misleading, in the
light of the circumstances under which they were made, including the Company's
failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement, and
will reimburse each Purchaser for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the
extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based
upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged
omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser through CSFBC
specifically for use therein,

                                       20


it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any
Purchaser consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

          (b) Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, and its directors, and officers and each person, if any
who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act
against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may
become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in the Offering Document, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission
or the 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, in each case to
the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser
through CSFBC specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or
other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with
investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as
such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such
information furnished by any Purchaser consists of the following information in
the Offering Document furnished on behalf of each Purchaser: the information
contained in the second sentence in the fifth paragraph, third sentence of the
ninth paragraph, tenth paragraph and second sentence of the eleventh paragraph
under the caption "Plan of Distribution."

          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section
of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a
claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under
subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve
the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above.  In case any such action
is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party
of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other
indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with
counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the
consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its
election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be
liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other
expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the
defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.  No indemnifying
party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect
any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any
indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been
sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes
an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any
claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a
statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of an indemnified party.

                                       21


          (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or
(b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as
is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the
one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Offered
Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as
the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by
the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the
Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state
a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Purchasers
and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount
paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be
deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or
claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Offered
Securities purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which
such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  The Purchasers'
obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to
their respective purchase obligations and not joint.

          (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section  shall be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any
Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the
obligations of the Purchasers under this Section shall be in addition to any
liability which the respective Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend,
upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the
Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

          8.   Default of Purchasers.  If any Purchaser or Purchasers default in
their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either the First
or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate liquidation amount of Offered
Securities that such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers agreed but failed to
purchase does not exceed 10% of the total liquidation amount of Offered
Securities that the Purchasers are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date,
CSFBC may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such
Offered Securities by other persons, including any of the Purchasers, but if no
such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Purchasers
shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective

                                       22


commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting
Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Purchaser
or Purchasers so default and the aggregate liquidation amount of Offered
Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of
the total liquidation amount of Offered Securities that the Purchasers are
obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to
CSFBC and the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities by other
persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the
Company, except as provided in Section 9 (provided that if such default occurs
with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement
will not terminate as to the Firm Securities or any Optional Securities
purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term
"Purchaser" includes any person substituted for an Purchaser under this Section.
Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its
default.

          9.   Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations.  The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company or their officers and of the several Purchasers set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof,
made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective
Purchasers, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive
delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 8 or if for any reason the purchase of the
