     At the Company's option, each interest payment due on this Note (as defined

interest which shall be paid solely in cash, may be made in cash or by issuing
additional senior subordinated notes in an original principal amount equal to
the amount of the interest payable (the "Interest Notes"); provided, however,

the interest accrued on this Note, together with any amounts included in the
taxable income of Noteholder pursuant to Sections 1271 through 1275 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, during the interest period in respect

amount of Notes held by such holder bears to the aggregate principal amount of
