similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

receives evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any

Outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.

the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.
The Company hereby designates the Corporate Trust Office of the

shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or

covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent
that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of

had been named as the Company herein; provided, however, that the predecessor
Company shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and
Interest on the Notes.
ARTICLE 6.
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
Section 6.01. Events of Default.
Each of the following constitutes an "Event of Default":
(i) the failure of the Company to pay all or any
part of the unpaid principal on the Notes when and as the same becomes due
and payable at maturity, upon prepayment, by acceleration, or otherwise;
(ii) failure by the Company to pay installments of
Fixed Interest in full on the Notes for one Interest Payment Date;
(iii) failure by the Company to observe or perform in
all material respects any other covenant or agreement on the part of the
Company contained in the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Agreement if such
failure is not remedied within 30 days after written notice is given to the
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at
least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding, in either
case specifying such default, requiring that such default be remedied and
stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default;"
(iv) the Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of
Bankruptcy Law:
(A) commences a voluntary case,
(B) consents to the entry of an order for
relief against it in an involuntary case,
(C) consents to the appointment of a
Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
property, or
(D) makes a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors; or
(v) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order
or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:
11
(A) is for relief against the
Company in an involuntary case;
(B) appoints a Custodian of the
Company or for all or substantially
all of the property of either the Company; or
(C) orders the liquidation of either the
Company;
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60
consecutive days.
The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator
or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
Section 6.02. Acceleration.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
Outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice
is given by the Holders), may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders
shall, declare the principal of and accrued Interest on the Outstanding Notes to
be immediately due and payable. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such
principal of and accrued Interest shall be immediately due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default as described
in (v) and (vi) of Section 6.01 hereof, the Notes shall become due and payable
without further action or notice. Holders of the Notes may not enforce this
Indenture or the Notes except as provided in this Indenture.
Section 6.03. Other Remedies.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
pursue any available remedy (under this Indenture, or otherwise) to collect the
payment of principal of or interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance
of any provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Security Agreement.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any
of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or
remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or
constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are
cumulative to the extent permitted by law.
Section 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults.
Subject to Section 8.02, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on
behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default or Event of
Default and its consequences under this Indenture (including any acceleration
other than an automatic acceleration resulting from an Event of Default under
clause (v) or (vi) of Section 6.01 hereof) except a continuing Default or Event
of Default in the payment of Interest on, or the principal of, the Notes or in
respect of a covenant or provision of this Indenture which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected;
12
provided, however, that in determining whether the Holders of the required
principal amount of Notes have concurred in any such waiver, Notes owned by the
Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be disregarded, except that
for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in
relying on any such direction, only Notes which such Trustee knows are so owned
shall be disregarded. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist,
and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured
for every purpose of this Indenture; provided, however, that no such waiver
shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.05. Control by Majority.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding
Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however that in
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have
concurred in any such direction, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate
of the Company, shall be disregarded, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, only Notes which such Trustee knows are so owned shall be
disregarded. However, (i) the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that,
in the opinion of counsel to the Trustee, conflicts with law or this Indenture,
that the Trustee reasonably determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights
of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the Trustee in personal liability,
and (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee
which is not inconsistent with such direction. In case an Event of Default shall
occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee will be required, in the exercise
of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of
its own affairs. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this
Indenture, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or
powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such
Holder shall offer to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it
against any loss, liability or expense.
Section 6.06. Limitation on Suits.
A Holder of a Note may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture
or the Notes only if:
(i) the Holder of a Note gives to the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives such notice from
the Company;
(ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then Outstanding Notes make a written request to the Trustee to
pursue the remedy;
(iii) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer
and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred in compliance with such
request;
(iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request
within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested,
the provision of indemnity; and
13
(v) during such 60-day period the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes do not
give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder of a Note may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights
of another Holder of a Note or to obtain a preference or priority over another
Holder of a Note.
Section 6.07. Collection Suit.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(i) or (ii) hereof
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its
own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount of principal of, and Interest remaining unpaid on, the Notes and interest
on overdue principal, Interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection and to the extent lawful, with
interest on overdue principal and installments of Interest at the rate specified
in the Notes in each case, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel.
Section 6.08. Proofs of Claim.
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel) and the
Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company, the Company's creditors or the Company's property, to participate as a
member, voting or otherwise, of any official committee of creditors appointed in
such manner and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other securities or property payable or deliverable upon
the conversion or exchange of the Notes or on any such claims and any Custodian
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee under Section 7.06 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any
such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06
hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason,
payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any
and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that
the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation
or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.
Section 6.9. Priorities.
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall
pay out the money in the following order:
14
First: to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, and its agents and
attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.06 hereof, including payment of all
compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent and the costs and expenses of collection;
Second: to Holders of Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes
for principal and Interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes first for principal, then
for Fixed Interest, respectively;
Third: without duplication, to the Holders for any other Obligations
owing to the Holders under this Indenture, the Notes or the Security Agreement;
and
Fourth: to the Company or to such party as a court of competent
jurisdiction shall direct.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders of Notes pursuant to this Section 6.09.
Section 6.10. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce
any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then, and in every such case, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 6.11. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or wrongfully taken Notes, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
Section 6.12. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the
Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as
may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.
Section 6.13. Undertaking for Costs.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party
litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the
15
court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due
regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant. This Section 6.14 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee or a suit by
Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes.
ARTICLE 7.
TRUSTEE
Section 7.01. Duties of Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has knowledge, the Trustee shall exercise
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same
degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or
use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) the duties of the Trustee shall be determined solely by
the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee need perform only those
duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and
(ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee, and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under
a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy
of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own
willful misconduct, except that:
(i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph
(b) of this Section 7.01;
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that
the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction
received by it pursuant to Section 6.05 hereof.
(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of
this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs
(a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.01.
(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend
or risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the
request of any Holderof Notes, including without limitation the provisions of
16
Section 6.05 hereof, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee,
security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense
that might be incurred by it in complying with such request.
(f) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely on the truth of the statements
and correctness of the opinions contained in, and shall be protected from acting
or refraining from acting upon, any document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an
Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be
liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on
such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. Prior to taking, suffering or
admitting any action, the Trustee may consult with counsel of the Trustee's own
choosing and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full
and complete authorization and protection from liability in respect of any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.
(c) The Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not
be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
to take in good faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or
powers conferred upon it by this Indenture.
(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any
demand, request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company.
(f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of
any of the Holders unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee
security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses
and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.
(g) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or
Event of Default with respect to the Notes unless either (1) a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge of such Default or Event of
Default or (2) written notice of such Default or Event of Default shall have
been given to the Trustee by the Company or by any Holder of the Notes.
(h) The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given
to the Trustee, including without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are
extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities
hereunder and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.
(i) The Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officer's
Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers
authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture,
which Officer's Certificate may be signed by any Person authorized to sign an
17
Officer's Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superceded.
Section 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee.
The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in
the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate
such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue
as Trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
Section 7.04. Disclaimer.
The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation
as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes; it shall not be
accountable for any money paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction
under any provision of this Indenture; it shall not be responsible for the use
or application of any money received by any Paying Agent other than itself; and
it shall not be responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement
in the Notes or any other document in connection with the sale of the Notes or
pursuant to this Indenture other than its certificate of authentication.
Section 7.05. Notice of Defaults.
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders
of Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it
occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment on any
Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of the Holders of the Notes.
Section 7.06. Compensation and Indemnity.
The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation as
shall be agreed between the Company and the Trustee for its acceptance of this
Indenture and services hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee's
compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an
express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for
all reasonable disbursements, advances and actual out of pocket expenses
incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses
of the Trustee's agents and counsel, but shall not include expenses incurred as
a result of the Trustee's negligence or willful misconduct.
The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or expenses,
including taxes (other than taxes based on or measured by the income or gross
receipts of the Trustee) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including
this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
18
negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder, except to
the extent of actual prejudice to the Company resulting from such failure. The
Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense.
The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company shall pay the reasonable
fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement
made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.06, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or
collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and
Interest on particular Notes redeemed, defeased, repurchased or otherwise
satisfied and discharged. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(v) or (vi) hereof occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and
counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
Bankruptcy Law.
Section 7.07. Replacement of Trustee.
A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section 7.07.
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from
the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the
Trustee if:
(a) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for
relief is entered with respect to the Trustee, as applicable, under any
Bankruptcy Law;
(b) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or
(c) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes may appoint a
successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or
the Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes
may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
19
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and the duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
succession to the Holders of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee provided
that all sums owing to the retiring Trustee have been paid and subject to the
Lien provided for in Section 7.06 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of the
Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.07, the Company's obligations under Section
7.06 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
Section 7.08. Successor Trustee by Merger, etc.
If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor
Trustee.
ARTICLE 8.
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
Section 8.01. Without Consent of Holders of the Notes.
Notwithstanding Section 8.02 of this Indenture, without the consent of
any Holder of Notes, the Company and the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Security Agreement or
the Notes:
(i) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency
which, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company
evidenced by a Board Resolution, exists;
(ii) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to
or in place of certificated Notes;
(iii) to comply with Article 5 hereof;
(iv) to make any change that would provide any
additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or, in the good
faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, evidenced by a Board
Resolution, does not materially adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of
any Holder of the Notes;
(v) to execute and deliver any documents necessary or
appropriate to release Liens on any Collateral as permitted by Section 9.03
hereof; or
Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by resolutions of
the Board of Directors or other governing body of the Company authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall join
with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture
authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental
indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture
or otherwise.
20
Section 8.02. With Consent of Holders of Notes.
Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, this
Indenture and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding
voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a
tender offer or exchange offer for Notes), and, in such case, without prior
written notice to the Holders and subject to Section 6.04 hereof, any existing
Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Indenture
or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then Outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in
connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for Notes). It is further
understood that the provisions of any definition set forth herein (other than
the definition of "Maturity Date") may be amended or supplemented, or any such
definition waived, with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Notes then Outstanding voting as a single class
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for Notes).
Upon the written request of the Company accompanied by resolutions of
the Board of Directors or other governing body of the Company authorizing the
execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing
with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the
Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 8.05 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or
supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes
under this Section 8.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment
or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 8.02
becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of each Note affected
thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any
failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or
supplemental indenture or waiver.
Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver,
including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:
(i) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders
must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(ii) reduce the principal of or change the Stated Maturity
of any Note;
(iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
Interest on any Note;
(iv) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of
principal of or Interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of
the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of
21
the then Outstanding Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted
from such acceleration);
(v) make any Note payable in money other than that stated
in the Notes; or
(vi) change the place or currency of payment of principal of
or Interest on, any Note; (vii) impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or after the Stated Maturity of any Note;
(viii) reduce the above stated percentage of Outstanding
Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary to modify or amend this
Indenture;
(ix) reduce the percentage or aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Notes the consent of whose Holders is necessary for waiver of
compliance with provisions of this Indenture or for waiver of defaults that
require the consent of all Holders to waive; or
(x) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver
provisions.
Section 8.03. Revocation and Effect of Consents.
Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent
to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as
the consenting Holder's Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any
Note. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the
consent as to its Note if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation
before the date the Trustee receives notice evidencing the taking of action by
the Holders of the specified percentage in aggregate principal amount specified
in this Indenture with respect to such waiver, supplement or amendment. When an
amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms,
it thereafter binds every Holder.
Section 8.04. Notation on or Exchange of Notes.
The Company may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in
exchange for all Notes may issue new Notes that reflect the amendment,
supplement or waiver.

Company has entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture.
Each Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the

providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in
effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms,
appoints the Collateral Agent to act as the "Collateral Agent" thereunder and
authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Agreement
and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance
therewith. The Company shall do or cause to be done all such acts and things as
may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the
Security Agreement, to assure and confirm to the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the
Security Agreement or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as
to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and
of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein
expressed. The Company shall take, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to take any
and all actions reasonably required to cause the Security Agreement to create
and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the Company hereunder, a valid
and enforceable perfected Lien in and on all the Collateral, in favor of the
Collateral Agent for its benefit and the ratable benefit of the Holders of
Notes, superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than those
holding First Lien Debt, and subject to no Liens (other than Liens permitted by
the Security Agreement).

promptly following the execution and delivery of this Indenture, an Officer's
Certificate, either (i) certifying that all actions have been taken with respect

statements or other instruments of further assurance as is necessary to maintain
the Lien of the Security Agreement and reciting with respect to the security
interests in the Collateral the details of such actions.
(b) The Company shall furnish to the Collateral Agent and the Trustee
within three months after each anniversary of the Issue Date an Officer's
certificate, dated as of such date, either (i) (A) certifying that all actions
have been taken with respect to the recording, registering, filing,
23
re-recording, re-registering and re-filing of all supplemental indentures,
financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments of further
assurance as is necessary to maintain the Lien of the Security Agreement and
reciting with respect to the security interests in the Collateral the details of
such action or referring to prior Officer's Certificates in which such details
are given and (B) certifying that, based on relevant laws as in effect on the
date of such Opinion of Counsel, all financing statements and continuation
statements have been executed and filed that are necessary as of such date and
during the succeeding 12 months fully to preserve and protect, to the extent
such protection and preservation are possible by filing, the rights of the
Holders of Notes and the Collateral Agent and the Trustee hereunder and under
the Security Documents with respect to the security interests in the Collateral,
or (ii) stating that, in the opinion of such officer, no such action is
necessary to maintain such Lien and assignment.
Section 9.03. Release of Collateral.
(a) Subject to subsections (b)and (c) of this Section 9.03, Collateral
may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the Security
Agreement at any time or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of
the Security Agreement and as provided hereby. The Collateral will be
automatically released from the Lien at such time as the Company has paid in
full or otherwise provided for the payment in full in accordance with this
Indenture of the principal amount and Interest due on all of the Notes. If the
Trustee is not the Collateral Agent, the Trustee shall thereafter deliver a
certificate to the Collateral Agent stating that such principal amount and
Interest have been paid in full, and instruct the Collateral Agent to release
the Liens pursuant to this Indenture and the Security Agreement. Upon the
request of the Company pursuant to an Officer's Certificate certifying that all
conditions precedent to such release hereunder and under the Security Agreement
have been met, the Collateral Agent shall release the Collateral. Upon receipt
of such Officer's Certificate, the Collateral Agent shall (at the sole cost and
expense of the Company) execute, deliver or acknowledge any necessary or proper
instruments of termination, satisfaction or release to evidence the release of
any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the
Security Agreement.
(b) No Collateral shall be released from the Lien and security
interest created by the Security Agreement pursuant to the provisions of the
Security Agreement unless there shall have been delivered to the Collateral
Agent the certificate required by this Section 9.03.
(c) The release of any Collateral from the terms of this Indenture and
the Security Agreement shall not be deemed to impair the security under this
Indenture in contravention of the provisions hereof if and to the extent the
Collateral is released pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement. Any
certificate or opinion required may be made by an Officer of the Company except
in cases where it requires that such certificate or opinion be made by an
independent Person, which Person shall be an independent engineer, appraiser or
other expert selected or approved by the Company.
Section 9.04. Certificates of the Trustee.
In the event that the Company wishes to release Collateral in
accordance with the Security Agreement and has delivered the certificates and
documents required by the Security Agreement and Sections 9.03 and 9.04 hereof,
the Trustee shall determine whether it has received all documentation required
in connection with such release and, based on such determination, shall deliver
a certificate to the Collateral Agent setting forth such determination;
provided, however, that so long as the Trustee is the Collateral Agent, the
24
requirement that the Trustee deliver a certificate to the Collateral Agent shall
not be applicable.
Section 9.05. Authorization of Actions to Be Taken by the Trustee and the
Collateral Agent Under the Security Agreement.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, the Trustee
shall, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of Notes,
direct, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, the Collateral Agent to take all
actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (a) enforce any of the
terms of the Security Agreement and (b) collect, receive and distribute any and
all amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Company hereunder or
under the Security Agreement. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have
power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem
expedient to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts that may be
unlawful or in violation of the Security Agreement or this Indenture, and such
suits and proceedings as the Trustee or the Collateral Agent may deem expedient
to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders of Notes
in the Collateral (including power to institute and maintain suits or
proceedings to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislative or
other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or
otherwise invalid if the enforcement of, or compliance with, such enactment,
rule or order would impair the security interest hereunder or be prejudicial to
the interests of the Holders of Notes or of the Trustee or the Collateral
Agent).
Section 9.06. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the
Security Agreement.
The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee is
authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders of Notes
distributed under the Security Agreement, and to make further distributions of
such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions of this Indenture
and the Security Agreement.
ARTICLE 10.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
Section 10.01. Satisfaction and Discharge.
This Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further
effect as to all Notes issued hereunder, when:
(1) either:
(a) all Notes issued and outstanding (except lost, stolen or destroyed
Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company) have
been delivered to the Registrar for cancellation; or
(b) the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited
with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders,
cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination
thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any
reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the
Notes not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal on, accrued
and unpaid Fixed Interest to the date of maturity or the next Interest Payment
25
Date and the maximum remaining amount of Contingent Interest payable on all
Outstanding Notes;
(2) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such
deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or
constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company
is a party or by which the Company is bound;
(3) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by it
under this Indenture; and
(4) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee
under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the
Notes at maturity or the prepayment date, as the case may be.
In addition, the Company must deliver an Officer's Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to
satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, if
money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of
clause (1) of this Section, the provisions of Section 11.01 shall survive.
Section 10.02. Application of Trust Money.
All money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall
be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the
Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and Interest, for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee; provided, however, such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or
Government Securities in accordance with Section 10.01 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01;
provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of
Interest on any Notes because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to
receive such payment from the money or Government Securities held by the Trustee
or Paying Agent.

Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to Time as follows:
(a) In case the Company shall (i) declare a dividend or make a
distribution on the outstanding shares of its Common Stock, (ii)
subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of its Common Stock
into a greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the
outstanding shares of its Common Stock into a smaller number of
shares, then the Conversion Price in effect at the time of,
respectively, the record date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification
shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of any Security
surrendered for conversion after such time shall be entitled to
receive the number of shares of Common Stock which he would have owned
or been entitled to receive had such Security been converted
immediately prior to such time. Any shares of Common Stock issuable in
payment of a dividend shall be deemed to have been issued immediately
prior to the time of the record date for such dividend for purposes of
calculating the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock under
subsections (b) and (c) below. Such adjustments shall be made
successively whenever any event specified above shall occur. In the
event that any such dividend, subdivision, reclassification or
combination causing any such adjustment does not thereafter occur,
then the adjusted Conversion Price then in effect shall be readjusted,
effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to
effect such dividend, subdivision, reclassification or combination, to
the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date
or effective date had not been
(b) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of
rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock without any
charge to such holders entitling them (for a period expiring within 45
days after the record date mentioned above) to subscribe for or
purchase shares of its Common Stock (or securities convertible into
shares of its Common Stock) at a price per share (or having an initial
conversion price per share) less than the Current Market Price (as
defined) of the Common Stock on such record date, the Conversion Price
shall be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the
price determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall
be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record
date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the number of shares of such Common Stock so offered
for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate initial conversion
price of the convertible securities so offered) would purchase at the
Current Market Price per share, and of which the denominator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date
plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase (or into which the convertible securities so
offered are initially convertible) . Shares of Common Stock owned by
or held for the Company shall not be deemed outstanding for the
purpose of any computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever such a record date is fixed. In the event that any such
rights or warrants (or convertible securities), as the case may be, to
the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date
had not been fixed.
(c) In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of a
distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock (i) of
shares of any class other than its Common Stock or (ii) of evidences
of indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary or (iii) of assets
(excluding cash dividends or distributions referred to in subsection
(a) above) or (iv) of rights or warrants (excluding those referred to
in subsection (b) above), in each such case the Conversion Price shall
be adjusted immediately thereafter so that it shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior thereto by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date
multiplied by the Current Market Price per share on such record date,
less the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a Board
Resolution filed with the Trustee) of said shares or evidences of
indebtedness or assets or rights or warrants so distributed, and of
which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding on such record date multiplied by such Current Market
Price per share. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever
such a record date is fixed. In the event that any such distribution
is thereafter no so made, then the adjusted Conversion Price then in
effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of
Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of
indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants, as the case may be, to the
Conversion Price which would then be in effect if such record date had
not been fixed.
(d) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b) and (c)
above, the "Current Market Price" per share at any date shall be
deemed to be the Average Closing Price of the Company's common stock.
(e) In any case in which this Article X shall require that an
adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for
an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (i)
issuing to the Holder of any Security converted after such record date
and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment
required by such event over and above the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment
and (ii) paying to such Holder any amount in cash in lieu of a
fractional share of Common Stock pursuant to Section 10.6; provided,
however, that the Company shall deliver to such Holder a due xxxx or
other appropriate instrument evidencing such Holder's rights to
receive such additional shares of Common Stock, and such cash, upon
the occurrence of the event requiring such adjustment.
(f) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required with
respect to shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the
Securities unless such adjustment would require an increase or
decrease in the amount equal to at least one percent of such price;
provided, however, that any such adjustment which is not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment made not later than three years after the
happening of the specified event or events.
(g) The Company from time to time may reduce the Conversion Price by
any amount for any period of time if the reduction is irrevocable
during the period.
(h) All calculations under this Article X shall be made to the nearest
cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.
Whenever the Conversion Price is reduced, the Company shall mail to Holders
of the Securities a notice of the reduction. The Company shall mail the notice
at least 15 days before the date the reduced Conversion Price takes effect. The
notice shall state the reduced Conversion Price and the period for which it will
be in effect.
A reduction of the Conversion Price does not change or adjust the
Conversion Price otherwise in effect for purposes of this Section.
12. Effect of Reclassification, Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Lease or
Conveyance.
(a) In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company into
another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the
Company is the continuing corporation), or in case of any sale, lease
or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor, leasing
or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute a
supplemental debenture providing that the Holder of each Security then
outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Security
solely into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities,
property or cash or any combination thereof receivable -upon such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such Security might have
been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale,
lease or conveyance.
(b) In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of the Securities (other than a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a
subdivision or combination, but including any change in the shares of
Common Stock into two or more classes or series of shares) or in the
case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the
Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in
which there is a reclassification or change (including a change in the
right to receive cash or other property) of the shares of Common Stock
(other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value,
or as a result of a subdivision or combination, but including any
change in the shares of Common Stock into two or more classes or
series of shares), or any reorganization within the meaning of Section
368 (a) (1) (B) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the
Company and the person obligated to deliver stock, other securities,
property or cash (or any combination thereof) upon the effectiveness
of such reorganization and the issuer of any stock or other securities
so to be delivered, if a different person, shall execute a
supplemental debenture providing that the Holder of each Security then
outstanding shall have the right thereafter to convert such Security
solely into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities,
property or cash or any combination thereof receivable upon such
classification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which such Security might have
been converted immediately prior to such reclassification, change,
consolidation or merger.
(c) Any supplemental debenture entered into pursuant to this Section
shall (i) where appropriate, state the Conversion Price in terms of one
full share of Common Stock or one full share of the Common Stock of any
successor, leasing, purchasing or affiliate corporation (as the case
may be) and (ii) provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in

such supplemental debenture to be mailed to each Holder of Securities
at his address as the same appears in the Security register.
