ARTICLE 2
SUBORDINATION
2.1 Subordination to Senior Debt. The Company, for itself, its
successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and the Payee and each
successive Holder by acceptance of this Debenture likewise covenants and
agrees, that the payment of the principal of and interest on this Debenture is
subordinated in right of payment to the payment of all existing and future
Senior Debt (as hereinafter defined) of the Company. "Senior Debt" means the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on (including interest
accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding pursuant to
any Bankruptcy Law (as defined in Section 7.1 below), but only to the extent
allowed or permitted to the holder of such Debt against the bankruptcy or
other insolvency estate of the Company in such proceeding) and fees, expenses,
reimbursement obligations, indemnity obligations and other amounts due on or
in connection with any Debt incurred, assumed or guaranteed by the Company,
whether outstanding on the date of the issuance of the Debentures or
thereafter incurred, assumed or guaranteed and all deferrals, renewals,
extensions and refundings
2
of, or amendments, modifications or supplements to, any such Debt; provided,
however, that the following will not constitute Senior Debt: (a) any Debt if
the instrument creating the same or evidencing the same or pursuant to which
the same is outstanding expressly provides (i) that such Debt shall not be
senior in right of payment to the Debentures, or (ii) that such Debt shall be
subordinated to any other Debt of the Company, unless such instrument
expressly provides that such Debt shall be senior in right of payment to the
Debentures; (b) any Debt of the Company in respect of the Debentures; and (c)
any Debt representing the redemption price of any preferred stock.
2.2 Debt. "Debt" means with respect to any person at any date,
without duplication, (i) all obligations of such person for borrowed money,
(ii) all obligations of such person evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or
other similar instruments, other than any account payable or other accrued
current liability or obligation incurred in the ordinary course of business in
connection with the obtaining of materials or services, (iii) all obligations
of the kinds set forth in (i) and (ii) above of others secured by a lien on
any asset of such person, whether or not such obligation is assumed by such
person, (iv) all obligations of such person with respect to letters of credit
(or local guaranties, as applicable) or bankers' acceptances issued for the
account of such person or with respect to interest rate protection agreements
or currency exchange or purchase agreements, (v) all obligations of such
person in respect to leases of such person as lessee which, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, are required to be accounted for as
capitalized lease obligations on the balance sheet of such person, (vi) all
obligations of such person issued or assumed as the deferred purchase price of
property, all conditional sale obligations of such person and all obligations
of such person under any title retention agreement, and (vii) all obligations
of the kind set forth in (i), (ii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above of others for the
payment of which such person is responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor.
2.3 Default. The Company may not pay principal or interest on the
Debentures and may not acquire, redeem or retire any Debentures for cash or
property other than capital stock of the Company if (i) a default on Senior
Debt occurs and is continuing that permits holders of Senior Debt to
accelerate its maturity, and (ii) the default is the subject of judicial
proceedings or the Company receives notice of a default from a holder of the
Senior Debt. The Company may resume payments on the Debentures and may
acquire, redeem or retire them when (A) the default is cured or waived, or (B)
120 days have passed after the notice of
3
default is given by the holder of the Senior Debt if the default
is not the subject of judicial proceedings.
2.4 Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy. Upon any distribution to
creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the Company or in
a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding
relating to the Company or its property (i) holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the principal of and interest
to the date of payment on the Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to
receive any payment of principal of or interest on the Debentures and (ii)
until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which the
Holder would be entitled but for this Article 2 shall be made to holders of
Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive
securities that are subordinated to Senior Debt to at least the same extent as
the Debentures.
2.5 Acceleration of Debentures. If payment of the Debentures is
accelerated because of an Event of Default as defined in Article 7 hereof, the
Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration. The
Company may pay the Debentures when 120 days have passed after the
acceleration occurs if this Article 2 permits the payment at such time.
2.6 Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Debt
and until the Debentures are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the
rights of the holders of the Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable
to Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 2 to holders of Senior
Debt which would otherwise have been made to Holders is not, as between the
Company and the Holders, a payment by the Company on this Debenture
2.7 Relative Rights. This Article 2 defines the relative rights of
the Holder, as a holder of a general, unsecured indebtedness of the Company,
and the holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Debenture shall: (i) impair,
as between the Company and the Holder, the obligation of the Company to pay
principal and interest on this Debenture in accordance with its terms; (ii)
affect the relative rights of the Holder, as a holder of a general, unsecured
indebtedness of the Company, and creditors of the Company other than the
holders of Senior Debt; or (iii) prevent any Holder from exercising its
available remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders
of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to the Holders.
4
2.8 Article 2 Subordination Not Designed to Prevent Events of
Default. The failure of the Company to make a payment on account of principal
and interest on this Debenture by reason of any provision of this Article 2
shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default
under Article 7 hereof.
ARTICLE 3

(c) is duly licensed or qualified and is in good standing as
a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction wherein the nature of the business
transacted by it or any of its subsidiaries or the nature of the property

so to qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company taken as
a whole;

notified by the holder of any Senior Debt or other Debt, that grounds for
default exist with respect to any Senior Debt or other Debt;
5
(f) the execution and delivery of the Debentures by the
Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
pursuant to the Registration Statement (a) are not in violation or breach of,
do not conflict with or constitute a default under any of the terms of the
charter documents or by-laws of the Company; (b) will not, to the actual
knowledge of the Company, result in a violation under any law, judgment,
decree, order, rule, regulation or other legal requirement or of any

default under any Senior Debt of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of
the Company, where such breach or default would have a materially adverse
effect on the operations or financial condition of the Company; and
(g) the Registration Statement does not, and will not at the
time of the original issuance of this Debenture by the Company, contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required

the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
