1. Interest. HEALTHSOUTH CORPORATION, a corporation incorporated in
Delaware (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
or if no interest has been paid, from the date of the original issuance of the
Notes. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, commencing April 1, 2002. Interest will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to
the extent lawful from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes.
2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at
the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date (whether or not such day is a Business Day) even if the
Notes are canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange
after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. Payments of principal and premium, if any, will be
made (on presentation of such Notes if in certificated form) in U.S. legal
tender; provided, however, that the Company may pay principal, premium, if any,
and interest by check payable in U.S. legal tender. The Company may deliver any
such interest payment by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address will appear on the security register.
3. Paying Agents and Registrar. Initially, Wilmington Trust Company
(the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act as
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agents, Registrar or co-Registrar
without notice to the Holders. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent but may act as Registrar or co-Registrar.
4. Indenture. The Company issued this Note under an Indenture, dated
as of September 28, 2001 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified the
"Indenture"), by and between the Company and the Trustee. This Note is one of a
duly authorized issue of Initial Notes of the Company designated as its ____%
Senior Notes due 20__ (the "Notes"), as amended and restated pursuant to the
Second Supplemental Indenture, dated June 24, 2004, to the Indenture. The Notes
include the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture. The Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes of this maturity are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Capitalized terms
herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.
Code xx.xx. 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in effect on the date of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are
subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture
and the TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company.
5. Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at
the option of the Company at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus any applicable Make-Whole
Premium (together, the "Redemption Price") plus accrued interest thereon to the
date of redemption.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date,
the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such redemption date, plus 0.50%.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by a Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of such Notes.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption
date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such
redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains three or fewer such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
"Make-Whole Premium" means, for any Note to be redeemed, a premium
equal to the excess (if any) of (i) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on such Note discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted
Treasury Rate over (ii) 100% of the unpaid principal amount of such Note. If a
redemption date does not fall on an interest payment date, then, with respect
to the interest payment immediately succeeding the redemption date, only the
unaccrued portion of such interest payment as of the redemption date shall be
included in the calculation pursuant to clause (i) above.
"Quotation Agent" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means (i) each of UBS Warburg LLC and
Deutsche Banc Alex. Xxxxx Inc. and their respective successors; provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.
Government securities dealer in New York, New York (a "Primary Treasury
Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury
Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee
after consultation with the Company.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined
by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the
third business day preceding such redemption date.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time,
selection of the Notes to be redeemed will be made by the Trustee from among
the outstanding Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method
permitted in the Indenture. On and after the redemption date, interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
The Notes will not be entitled to any sinking fund.
6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption under paragraph 5 of
this Note will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's
registered address.
Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of
the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent
for redemption on such Redemption Date, then the Notes called for redemption
will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date and the only
right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption
Price plus interest accrued through the Redemption Date, if any.
7. Offers to Purchase. Prior to the occurrence of the Fall-Away Event
(as defined in the Indenture), the Indenture provides that, after certain Asset
Sales (as defined in the Indenture) or upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to further limitations
contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts
of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
7A. Holders' Right to Require Purchase. Each Holder of the Notes shall
have the right to require the Company to purchase all outstanding Notes held by
such Holder on January 2, 2009, for a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of
purchase (the "Purchase Price").
A Holder electing to require the Company to purchase its Notes must
provide written notice of its irrevocable election to exercise its put option
pursuant to this Section 7A not more than 150 days and no fewer than 120 days
prior to January 2, 2009, and the Company shall purchase the Notes from all
Holders who have delivered such notice on January 2, 2009. A Holder electing to
require the Company to purchase its Notes in accordance with the previous
sentence may not thereafter revoke such notice and shall be required to
surrender the Notes in accordance with this Section 7A.
Holders electing to have their Notes purchased by the Company shall be
required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent prior
to the close of business on January 2, 2009.
On January 2, 2009, the Company shall accept such Notes for payment
and deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay the
Purchase Price of the Notes to be purchased on January 2, 2009, the Paying
Agent shall mail to each Holder of Notes being purchased payment in an amount
equal to the Purchase Price for such Notes.
8. Registration Rights. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement
by and between the Company and the Initial Purchasers, the Company will be
obligated to consummate an exchange offer pursuant to which the Holder of this
Note shall have the right to exchange this Note for the Company's Series B
8-3/8% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Exchange Notes"), at such time as the
Exchange Notes shall have been registered under the Securities Act, in like
principal amount and having terms identical in all material respects to the
Initial Notes (except that such Exchange Notes will not contain terms with
respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest). The Holders of the
Initial Notes shall be entitled to receive certain Additional Interest payments
in the event such exchange offer is not consummated and upon certain other
conditions, all pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the
Registration Rights Agreement.
9. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in definitive,
fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 and
in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the
transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the
Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any
Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.
10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be
treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes.
11. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for two years (or such shorter period for the return of such
moneys to the Company under applicable abandoned property laws), the Trustee
and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company. After that,
Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an "abandoned property" law designates another person.
12. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. If the Company at any
time deposits with the Trustee U.S. legal tender or other obligations of the
types set forth in the Indenture sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the Notes to Stated Maturity or redemption, if applicable, and
complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating to Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Company will be discharged from certain
provisions of the Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but
excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes).
13. Amendments, Supplements, and Waivers. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate outstanding
principal amounts of the Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or
noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto
may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not
adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder of a Note.
14. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations
on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, make
payments in respect of its Capital Stock, incur additional Indebtedness, make
certain investments, sell assets, enter into transactions with Affiliates,
create Liens, merge or consolidate with or into any other Person or sell,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or
create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Subsidiaries of the
Company. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications
and exceptions and, in certain instances upon the occurrence of certain events,
cease to be binding upon the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company must
report on an annual basis to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
15. Successor. When a Successor assumes, in accordance with the
Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the
Indenture, and immediately before and thereafter no Default exists and certain
other conditions are satisfied, the predecessor entity will be released from
those obligations.
16. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the
Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect
to the Company pursuant to SECTION 6.01(F) or 6.01(G) of the Indenture) shall
have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee by written notice to the
Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may declare to be immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of
all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued interest to the date of
acceleration; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a
judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee may rescind and annul such
acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default, other than
the nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due
solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in
Section 6.01(F) or 6.01(G) of the Indenture occurs, the principal amount,
together with premium, if any, and interest with respect to all of the Notes,
shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes.
17. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in
its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from,
and perform services for the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company,
its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.
18. No Recourse Against Others. No incorporator, director, officer,
employee, stockholder or controlling person, as such, of the Company shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and
release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.
19. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or
Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this
Note.
20. Multiple Counterparts. The parties may sign multiple counterparts
of this Note. Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original but all of
them together represent one and the same Note.
21. Governing Law. THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAW. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE INDENTURE HAS AGREED TO SUBMIT TO
THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR

__% AMENDED AND RESTATED SENIOR NOTE DUE 20__
1. Interest. HEALTHSOUTH CORPORATION, a corporation incorporated in
Delaware (the "Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of
this Note at the rate per annum shown above. Interest on the Notes will accrue
from the most recent date on which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
or if no interest has been paid, from the date of the original issuance of the
Notes. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, commencing April 1, 2002. Interest will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.
The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and on overdue
installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) to
the extent lawful from time to time on demand at the rate borne by the Notes.
2. Method of Payment. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are the registered Holders at
the close of business on March 15 or September 15 immediately preceding the
Interest Payment Date (whether or not such day is a Business Day) even if the
Notes are canceled on registration of transfer or registration of exchange
after such Record Date. Holders must surrender Notes to a Paying Agent to
collect principal payments. Payments of principal and premium, if any, will be
made (on presentation of such Notes if in certificated form) in U.S. legal
tender; provided, however, that the Company may pay principal, premium, if any,
and interest by check payable in U.S. legal tender. The Company may deliver any
such interest payment by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled
thereto as such address will appear on the security register.
3. Paying Agents and Registrar. Initially, Wilmington Trust Company
(the "Trustee"), will act as Paying Agent and the Trustee will act as
Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agents, Registrar or co-Registrar
without notice to the Holders. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
or Affiliates may act as Paying Agent but may act as Registrar or co-Registrar.
4. Indenture. The Company issued this Note under an Indenture, dated
as of September 28, 2001 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified the
"Indenture"), by and between the Company and the Trustee. This Note is one of a
duly authorized issue of Exchange Notes of the Company designated as its __%
Senior Notes due 20__ (the "Notes"), as amended and restated pursuant to the
Second Supplemental Indenture, dated June 24, 2004, to the Indenture. The Notes
include the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes issued pursuant to the
Indenture. The Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes of this maturity are
treated as a single class of securities under the Indenture. Capitalized terms
herein are used as defined in the Indenture unless otherwise defined herein.
The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.
Code xx.xx. 77aaa-77bbbb) (the "TIA"), as in effect on the date of the
Indenture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Notes are
subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture
and the TIA for a statement of them. The Notes are general unsecured
obligations of the Company.
5. Redemption. The Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at
the option of the Company at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus any applicable Make-Whole
Premium (together, the "Redemption Price") plus accrued interest thereon to the
date of redemption.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date,
the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of the principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such redemption date, plus 0.50%.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by a Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining
term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new
issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining
term of such Notes.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption
date, (i) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such
redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee obtains three or fewer such
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.
"Make-Whole Premium" means, for any Note to be redeemed, a premium
equal to the excess (if any) of (i) as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum
of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and
interest on such Note discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted
Treasury Rate over (ii) 100% of the unpaid principal amount of such Note. If a
redemption date does not fall on an interest payment date, then, with respect
to the interest payment immediately succeeding the redemption date, only the
unaccrued portion of such interest payment as of the redemption date shall be
included in the calculation pursuant to clause (i) above.
"Quotation Agent" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers
appointed by the Trustee after consultation with the Company.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means (i) each of UBS Warburg LLC and
Deutsche Banc Alex. Xxxxx Inc. and their respective successors; provided,
however, that if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S.
Government securities dealer in New York, New York (a "Primary Treasury
Dealer"), the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury
Dealer; and (ii) any other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee
after consultation with the Company.
"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined
by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in
writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m. on the
third business day preceding such redemption date.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time,
selection of the Notes to be redeemed will be made by the Trustee from among
the outstanding Notes on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method
permitted in the Indenture. On and after the redemption date, interest will
cease to accrue on the Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
The Notes will not be entitled to any sinking fund.
6. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption under paragraph 5 of
this Note will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the
Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's
registered address.
Except as set forth in the Indenture, if monies for the redemption of
the Notes called for redemption shall have been deposited with the Paying Agent
for redemption on such Redemption Date, then the Notes called for redemption
will cease to bear interest from and after such Redemption Date and the only
right of the Holders of such Notes will be to receive payment of the Redemption
Price plus interest accrued through the Redemption Date, if any.
7. Offers to Purchase. Prior to the occurrence of the Fall-Away Event
(as defined in the Indenture), the Indenture provides that, after certain Asset
Sales (as defined in the Indenture) or upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control (as defined in the Indenture), and subject to further limitations
contained therein, the Company will make an offer to purchase certain amounts
of the Notes in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture.
7A. Holders' Right to Require Purchase. Each Holder of the Notes shall
have the right to require the Company to purchase all outstanding Notes held by
such Holder on January 2, 2009, for a purchase price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of
purchase (the "Purchase Price").
A Holder electing to require the Company to purchase its Notes must
provide written notice of its irrevocable election to exercise its put option
pursuant to this Section 7A not more than 150 days and no fewer than 120 days
prior to January 2, 2009, and the Company shall purchase the Notes from all
Holders who have delivered such notice on January 2, 2009. A Holder electing to
require the Company to purchase its Notes in accordance with the previous
sentence may not thereafter revoke such notice and shall be required to
surrender the Notes in accordance with this Section 7A.
Holders electing to have their Notes purchased by the Company shall be
required to surrender the Notes, with the form entitled "Option of Holder to
Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the Paying Agent prior
to the close of business on January 2, 2009.
On January 2, 2009, the Company shall accept such Notes for payment
and deposit with the Paying Agent U.S. legal tender sufficient to pay the
Purchase Price of the Notes to be purchased on January 2, 2009, the Paying
Agent shall mail to each Holder of Notes being purchased payment in an amount
equal to the Purchase Price for such Notes.
8. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Notes are in definitive,
fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $1,000 and
in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. A Holder shall register the
transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The Registrar
may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements
and transfer documents and to pay certain transfer taxes or similar
governmental charges payable in connection therewith as permitted by the
Indenture. The Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any
Notes or portions thereof selected for redemption.
9. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note shall be
treated as the owner of such Note for all purposes.
10. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal or interest
remains unclaimed for two years (or such shorter period for the return of such
moneys to the Company under applicable abandoned property laws), the Trustee
and the Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company. After that,
Holders entitled to money must look to the Company for payment as general
creditors unless an "abandoned property" law designates another person.
11. Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance. If the Company at any
time deposits with the Trustee U.S. legal tender or other obligations of the
types set forth in the Indenture sufficient to pay the principal of and
interest on the Notes to Stated Maturity or redemption, if applicable, and
complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating to Legal
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, the Company will be discharged from certain
provisions of the Indenture and the Notes (including certain covenants, but
excluding its obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes).
12. Amendments, Supplements, and Waivers. Subject to certain
exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the
written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate outstanding
principal amounts of the Notes, and any existing Default or Event of Default or
noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto
may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Notes to, among other things, cure
any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency or make any other change that does not
adversely affect in any material respect the rights of any Holder of a Note.
13. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations
on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, make
payments in respect of its Capital Stock, incur additional Indebtedness, make
certain investments, sell assets, enter into transactions with Affiliates,
create Liens, merge or consolidate with or into any other Person or sell,
lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or
create dividend or other payment restrictions affecting Subsidiaries of the
Company. Such limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications
and exceptions and, in certain instances upon the occurrence of certain events,
cease to be binding upon the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Company must
report on an annual basis to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations.
14. Successor. When a Successor assumes, in accordance with the
Indenture, all the obligations of its predecessor under the Notes and the
Indenture, and immediately before and thereafter no Default exists and certain
other conditions are satisfied, the predecessor entity will be released from
those obligations.
15. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default are set forth in the
Indenture. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect
to the Company pursuant to SECTION 6.01(F) or 6.01(G) of the Indenture) shall
have occurred and be continuing, then the Trustee by written notice to the
Company, or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Notes then outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may declare to be immediately due and payable the entire principal amount of
all the Notes then outstanding plus accrued interest to the date of
acceleration; provided, however, that after such acceleration but before a
judgment or decree based on such acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee may rescind and annul such
acceleration and its consequences if all existing Events of Default, other than
the nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest that has become due
solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived. No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in
Section 6.01(F) or 6.01(G) of the Indenture occurs, the principal amount,
together with premium, if any, and interest with respect to all of the Notes,
shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes.
16. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in
its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from,
and perform services for the Company, and may otherwise deal with the Company,
its Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee.
17. No Recourse Against Others. No incorporator, director, officer,
employee, stockholder or controlling person, as such, of the Company shall have
any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes or the
Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation. By accepting a Note, each Holder shall waive and
release all such liability. The waiver and release shall be part of the
consideration for the issue of the Notes.
18. Authentication. This Note shall not be valid until the Trustee or
Authenticating Agent manually signs the certificate of authentication on this
Note.
19. Multiple Counterparts. The parties may sign multiple counterparts
of this Note. Each signed counterpart shall be deemed an original but all of
them together represent one and the same Note.

ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AS APPLIED TO CONTRACTS MADE
AND PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF
CONFLICTS OF LAW. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THE INDENTURE HAS AGREED TO SUBMIT TO
THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK IN ANY ACTION OR
