SECTION 2.07. REPLACEMENT NOTES.
If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Issuer and
the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Note, the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee, upon the written
order of the Issuer signed by two Officers of the Issuer, shall authenticate a
replacement Note if the Trustee's requirements for replacements of Notes are
met. If required by the Trustee or the Issuer in connection with any loss,
theft or destruction of a Note, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder
that is sufficient in the judgment of the Trustee and the Issuer to protect the
Issuer, the Trustee, any Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss which
any of them may suffer if a Note is replaced; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any
institutional Holder may satisfy such requirement for an indemnity bond by
delivering its unsecured indemnity agreement. Each of the Issuer and the
Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a Note.
17
SECTION 2.08. OUTSTANDING NOTES.
The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by
the Trustee except for those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section 2.08 as not outstanding.
If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Note is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section
4.01 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.
Subject to Section 2.09 hereof, a Note does not cease to be
outstanding because the Issuer, a Subsidiary of the Issuer or an Affiliate of
the Issuer holds the Note.
SECTION 2.09. TREASURY NOTES.
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Issuer, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Issuer shall be considered as
though not outstanding, except that for purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes which a Responsible Officer knows to be so owned shall be so
considered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Notes that are to be acquired by the
Issuer, any Subsidiary or an Affiliate of the Issuer pursuant to an exchange
offer, tender offer or other agreement shall not be deemed to be owned by the
Issuer, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, until legal title to such Notes
passes to the Issuer, such Subsidiary or such Affiliate, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES.
Until definitive Notes are ready for delivery, the Issuer may prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be
substantially in the form of definitive Notes but may have variations that the
Issuer and the Trustee consider appropriate for temporary Notes. Without
unreasonable delay, the Issuer shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of
the written order of the Issuer signed by two Officers of the Issuer, shall
authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes. Until such
exchange, temporary Notes shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and
privileges as definitive Notes.
18
SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION.
The Issuer at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.
The Trustee shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer,
exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes
(subject to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act), unless the
Issuer directs cancelled Notes to be returned to it. The Issuer may not issue
new Notes to replace Notes that it has redeemed or paid or that have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. All cancelled Notes held by the
Trustee shall be destroyed and certification of their destruction delivered to
the Issuer, unless by a written order, signed by two Officers of the Issuer, the
Issuer shall direct that cancelled Notes be returned to it.
SECTION 2.12. DEFAULTED INTEREST.
If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it shall
pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful,
interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of
the Notes on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at the
earliest practicable date but in all events at least five Business Days prior to
the next payment date, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes. The
Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed each such special record date and payment
date, and shall, promptly thereafter, notify the Trustee of any such date. At
least 15 days before the special record date, the Issuer (or the Trustee, in the
name of and at the expense of the Issuer) shall mail to Holders of the Notes a
notice that states the special record date, the related payment date and the
amount of such interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.13. RECORD DATE.
The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of
the Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent
authorized or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as provided for
in TIA Section 316(c).
SECTION 2.14. CUSIP NUMBER.
The Issuer in issuing the Notes may use a "CUSIP" number and, if it
does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number in notices of redemption or
exchange as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of
the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Notes and that reliance may be
placed only on
19
the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Issuer will
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number.
ARTICLE 3

If the Issuer elects to redeem Notes pursuant to the optional
redemption provisions of Section 3.07 hereof, it shall furnish to the Trustee,
at least 45 days but not more than 75 days before a redemption date, written
notice setting forth (i) the redemption date, (ii) the principal amount of Notes
to be redeemed and (iii) the redemption price.
SECTION 3.02. SELECTION OF NOTES TO BE REDEEMED.
If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall
select the Notes to be redeemed among the Holders of the Notes in compliance
with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on
which the Notes are listed, or, if the Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata
basis, by lot or in accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair
and appropriate (and in such manner as complies with applicable legal and stock
exchange requirements, if any), provided that no Notes of $1,000 or less shall
be redeemed in part. In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular
Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee
from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Notes
selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of
them selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000; except
that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding
amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, shall be
redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of
Notes called for redemption.
SECTION 3.03. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Subject to the provisions of Section 3.09 hereof, at least 30 days but
not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Issuer shall mail or cause
to be
20
mailed, by first class mail, a notice of redemption to each Holder whose
Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address.
The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall state:
(a) the redemption date;
(b) the redemption price;
(c) if any Note is being redeemed in part, the portion of the
principal amount of such Note to be redeemed and that, after the redemption
date upon surrender of such Note, a new Note or Notes in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion shall be issued;
(d) the name and address of the Paying Agent;
(e) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the
Paying Agent to collect the redemption price;
(f) that, unless the Issuer defaults in making such redemption
payment, interest on Notes called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date;
(g) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that are being
redeemed; and
(h) that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of the CUSIP number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Notes.
At the Issuer's written request, the Trustee shall give the notice of
redemption in the Issuer's name and at its expense.
SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.
Once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03
hereof, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption
date at the redemption price.
SECTION 3.05. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.
On or prior to one Business Day before any redemption date, the Issuer
shall deposit with the Trustee or with the Paying Agent money sufficient to
pay the
21
redemption price of and accrued interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Issuer
any money deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent by the Issuer in
excess of the amounts necessary to pay the redemption price of, and accrued
interest on, all Notes to be redeemed.
On and after the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes or the portions of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed
on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related interest
payment date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid on such
interest payment date to the Person in whose name such Note was registered at
the close of business on such record date. If any Note called for redemption
shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption, because of the failure of
the Issuer to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be paid on the
unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is paid, and to
the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each
case at the rate provided in the Notes.
SECTION 3.06. NOTES REDEEMED IN PART.
Upon surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Issuer shall
issue and upon written order of the Issuer the Trustee shall authenticate for
the Holder of the Notes at the expense of the Issuer a new Note equal in
principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.
SECTION 3.07. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
The Issuer shall have the option to redeem the Notes, in whole or in
part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
thereon to the applicable redemption date.
SECTION 3.08. MANDATORY REDEMPTION.
Except as set forth under Section 3.09 or Section 4.19 hereof, the
Issuer shall not be required to make mandatory redemption payments or sinking
fund payments with respect to the Notes.
22
SECTION 3.09. OFFER TO PURCHASE BY APPLICATION OF
ASSET SALE PROCEEDS.
If at any time the aggregate amount of Asset Sale Proceeds and the net
cash proceeds of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.14(i) that have not
been applied in accordance with this Section 3.09 (exclusive of any Asset Sale
Proceeds or net cash proceeds which remain after the completion of any prior
Asset Sale Offer) exceeds $10 million, the Issuer shall make an offer to all
Holders of Notes (an "Asset Sale Offer") to purchase the maximum principal
amount of Notes that, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may be
purchased with 80% of any such Asset Sale Proceeds or 100% of the net cash
proceeds of such Indebtedness, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to
100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance
with the procedures specified below.
The Asset Sale Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business
Days following its commencement and no longer, except to the extent that a
longer period is required by applicable law (the "Offer Period"). No later than
five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the "Purchase
Date"), the Issuer shall purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes that may
be purchased with 80% of such Asset Sale Proceeds or 100% of the net cash
proceeds of such Indebtedness (the "Offer Amount"), or, if less than the Offer
Amount has been tendered, all Notes tendered in response to the Asset Sale
Offer.
If the Purchase Date is on or after an interest record date and on or
before the related interest payment date, any accrued interest shall be paid to
the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such
record date, and no additional interest shall be payable to Holders who tender
Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.
Upon the commencement of any Asset Sale Offer the Issuer shall send,
by first class mail, a notice to the Trustee and each of the Holders of the
Notes, with a copy to the Trustee. The notice shall contain all instructions
and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the
Asset Sale Offer. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Sale
Offer shall state:
(a) that such Asset Sale Offer is being made pursuant to this Section
3.09 and the length of time such Asset Sale Offer shall remain open;
(b) the Offer Amount, the purchase price and the Purchase Date;
(c) that any Note not tendered or accepted for payment shall continue
to accrue interest in accordance with its terms;
23
(d) that any Note accepted for payment pursuant to such Asset Sale
Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Purchase Date;
(e) that Holders electing to have a Note purchased pursuant to such
Asset Sale Offer shall be required to surrender the Note at least three
Business Days before the Purchase Date with the form entitled "Option of
Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of the Note completed, to the
Issuer, a depositary, if appointed by the Issuer, or a Paying Agent at the
address specified in the notice;
(f) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the
Issuer, depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives, not later
than the expiration of the Offer Period, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the Note the Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that
such Holder is withdrawing his or her election to have the Note purchased;
(g) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by
Holders exceeds the Offer Amount, the Issuer shall select the Notes to be
purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed
appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000, or
integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased); and
(h) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part shall be
issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of
the Notes surrendered.
Any Holder may at any time elect to deliver to the Trustee written
instructions (each a "Standing Instruction") stating that such Holder desires to
participate in any Asset Sale Offer by tendering the maximum permitted number of
such Holder's Notes for repurchase in such Asset Sale Offer. Upon receipt of
such Standing Instruction, the Trustee shall deem the maximum permitted number
of such Holder's Notes tendered upon the commencement of any Asset Sale Offer.
The issuing Holder may withdraw such Standing Instruction at any time prior to
the expiration of an Offer Period by so notifying the Trustee in writing. Each
Holder electing not to deliver a Standing Instruction shall respond to the
notice of an Asset Sale Offer, as set forth in this Section 3.09, prior to the
termination of the Offer Period.
On or before the Purchase Date, the Issuer shall, to the extent
lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary, the
Offer Amount of Notes or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale
Offer, or, if less than the Offer Amount has been tendered, all Notes, and
deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that such Notes or
portions thereof were accepted for
24
payment by the Issuer in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.09. The
Issuer, depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but
in any case not later than five days after the Purchase Date) mail or deliver
(or wire, if requested by a Holder in advance) to each tendering Holder an
amount equal to the purchase price of the Note tendered by such Holder and
accepted by the Issuer for purchase, and the Issuer shall promptly issue a
new Note, and the Trustee shall authenticate and mail or deliver such new
Note to such Holder equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of
the Note surrendered. Any Note not so accepted shall be promptly mailed or
delivered by the Issuer to the Holder thereof. The Issuer shall publicly
announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Purchase Date. In the
event that the aggregate amount of Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds
of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.14(i) exceeds the aggregate
principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof pursuant to such
Asset Sale Offer the Issuer may use the remaining Asset Sale Proceeds or net
cash proceeds of Indebtedness in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.
If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders thereof
exceeds the amount of Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds of
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.14(i), the Trustee shall select
the Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of an Asset
Sale Offer, the amount of Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds of
Indebtedness shall be deemed to be reset at zero.
Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.09, any purchase
pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall be made pursuant to the provisions of
Sections 3.01 through 3.06 hereof.
Whenever any Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds of Indebtedness
incurred pursuant to Section 4.14(i) are received by the Issuer such Asset Sale
Proceeds or net cash proceeds of Indebtedness will be set aside in the Asset
Sale Account pending allocation of such Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds
of Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 3.09.

39
SECTION 6.02. ACCELERATION.
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
clause (e) of Section 6.01 hereof) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by
notice to the Issuer may, or upon written notice from the Required Holders
shall, or the Required Holders by written notice to the Issuer and the Trustee
may, declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon such
declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall
be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e)
of Section 6.01 hereof occurs, such an amount shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder. The Required Holders by written notice to the
Trustee may on behalf of all of the Holders rescind an acceleration and its
consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree
and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest
or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been
cured or waived.
SECTION 6.03. OTHER REMEDIES.
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee and/or
the Collateral Agent, as applicable, may pursue any available remedy (under this
Indenture, the Collateral Documents or otherwise) to collect the payment of
principal and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any
provision of the Notes, this Indenture or the Collateral Documents.
The Trustee or the Collateral Agent 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, the Collateral Agent 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.
The Required Holders by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the
Holders of all of the Notes waive an existing Default or Event of Default and
its consequences under this Indenture, except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on the Notes. 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
and the Collateral Documents; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other Default or Event of Default.
40
SECTION 6.0 DIRECTION BY REQUIRED HOLDERS.
The Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee
and/or the Collateral Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it or
them. However, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent may refuse to follow any
direction that conflicts with the law, this Indenture or the Collateral
Documents, that the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent determines may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent in personal liability.
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:

Agent written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
(b) the Required Holders make a written request to the Trustee
and the Collateral Agent to pursue the remedy;
(c) such Holder of a Note or Holders of Notes offer and, if

liability or expense;

request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if
requested, the provision of indemnity; and
(e) during such 60-day period the Required Holders do not give
the Trustee and the Collateral Agent 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. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF NOTES TO RECEIVE PAYMENT.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of
any Holder of a Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Note,
on or after
41
the respective due dates expressed in the Note, or to bring suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not
be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder, except that no
Holder shall have the right to institute any such suit if and to the extent
that the institution or prosecution thereof or the entry of judgment therein
would under applicable law result in the surrender, impairment, waiver or
loss of the Liens pursuant to the Collateral Documents upon any property
subject to such Liens.
SECTION 6.08. COLLECTION SUIT.
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) hereof occurs and
is continuing, the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent are authorized to recover
judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Issuer
for the whole amount of principal of and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes

further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of

counsel.

Issuer (or any other obligor upon the Notes), the Issuer's creditors or the
Issuer's property and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and
distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims
and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder of a Note to make such payments to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent,
and in the event that the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders of the Notes, to pay to the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, the
Collateral Agent, and their respective agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under Section 7.07 hereof. To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, or their respective agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee and the Collateral Agent under
Section 7.07 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
42
all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties which
the Holders of the Notes 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
or the Collateral Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder of a Note any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder of
a Note thereof, or to authorize the Trustee or the Collateral Agent to vote
in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Note in any such proceeding.

SECTION 6.11. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent 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 court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the

made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply
43
to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to Section
6.06 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the
then outstanding Notes.
SECTION 6.12. 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 adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the

determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture, if any.
44
(c) The Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own
negligent action, its own 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 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 Holders of Notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to
the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.
(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 Issuer.
Money held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.
SECTION 7.02. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.
(a) The Trustee may conclusively rely 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 Officers' 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 Officers' Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may
consult with counsel, accountants and other experts and the written advice of
such counsel, accountants and other experts or any Opinion of Counsel shall be
full and complete authorization and
45
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 which it believes to be authorized or within its
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture or the Collateral
Documents.
(e) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture,
any demand, request, direction or notice from the Issuer shall be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Issuer.
(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 each of the
Trustee and the Collateral Agent reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction.
(g) Without limitation and notwithstanding any other provision
herein, the Trustee (i) shall not be required to take any action regarding any
Real Estate, including, without limitation, foreclosure or other action
(collectively, a "Foreclosure Action"), which could result in the Trustee being
deemed to be an "operator" under CERCLA (as defined in the definition of
"Hazardous Substance"), if in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee by taking
such action it would incur unacceptable environmental liability, and (ii) shall
have the right, prior to taking any Foreclosure Action with respect to any Real
Estate, to obtain a "Phase One" or other environmental report concerning such
Real Estate prepared by a consultant of its choice and to be reimbursed for the
reasonable cost thereof pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, if, in its reasonable
judgment, such report is necessary in order to assess the matters described in
clause (i) hereof. In making an evaluation described under clause (i) of the
preceding sentence, the Trustee shall assess its potential liability as compared
to the indemnity available pursuant to Section 7.07 hereof, or from any Holder
pursuant to Section 7.01(e) and/or 7.02(f) hereof.
SECTION 7.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or any
Affiliate of the Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not the
Trustee. However, in the event that the Trustee acquires any conflicting
interest it must eliminate such
46
conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as
trustee or resign. Any Agent may do the same with like rights and duties.
The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10 and 7.11 hereof, as specified
therein, of this Indenture.
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 of the Notes, it shall not
be accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money
paid to the Issuer or upon the Issuer'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. The Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity, value or condition of any property covered or
intended to be covered by the Lien of the Collateral Documents or any part
thereof or as to the title of the Issuer or any Subsidiary to such property or
as to the security afforded by the Collateral Documents or hereby.
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 and/or the Collateral Agent,
the Trustee and/or the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the other, and
the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Notes a notice of the Default or Event
of Default within 30 days after it occurs. Notwithstanding anything
contained in TIA Section 315(b) to the contrary, the Trustee shall not
withhold any such notice.
SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS OF THE NOTES.
Within 60 days after each January 1 beginning with the January 1
following the Issue Date, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes
a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section
313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within
the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be
transmitted). The Trustee shall, within 90 days thereof, and in compliance
with TIA Section 313(b), notify the Holders of the Notes in the event of (1)
the release, or release and substitution, of any collateral pursuant to
Section 10.03 or 10.04 hereof (and the consideration therefor, if any) the
fair value of which equals or exceeds 10% of the principal amount of the
Notes outstanding at the time of such release or (2) the character and amount
of any advances made by it since
47
the date of the last report transmitted pursuant to TIA Section 313(a) (or if
no such report has yet been so transmitted, since the date hereof), for the
reimbursement of which it may claim a lien or charge higher than that of the
Notes, the aggregate amount of which at any time exceeds 10% of the principal
amount of the Notes outstanding at such time. The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all
reports as required by TIA Section 313(c).
A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of
Notes shall be mailed to the Issuer and filed with the SEC and each stock
exchange, if any, on which the Notes are listed, in accordance with TIA
Section 313(d). The Issuer shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes
are listed on any stock exchange.
SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY.
The Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The
Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse the Trustee promptly
upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and 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.
The Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee against any
and all losses, liabilities or expenses incurred by it arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this
Indenture without negligence or bad faith on its part, including, but not
limited to, all losses, liabilities or expenses arising in connection with the
release or presence of any Hazardous Substance at or from the Real Estate
whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, regardless of the source of such release
or when such release occurred or such presence is discovered. The foregoing
indemnity includes, without limitation, all costs of removal, remediation of any
kind, and disposal of such Hazardous Substances (whether or not such Hazardous
Substances may be legally allowed to remain in the Real Estate if removal or
remediation is prudent), after a foreclosure, the cost of determining whether
the Real Estate that was the subject of the foreclosure is in compliance and
causing such Real Estate to be in compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws, and the Trustee's reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees and court
costs relating thereto. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any
claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the
Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer
shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the reasonable fees
and expenses of such counsel.
48
The Issuer need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 7.07 shall survive
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
To secure the Issuer's payment obligations in this Section, 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. 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(e) 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 7.08. 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.
The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from
the trust hereby created by so notifying the Issuer. The Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so
notifying the Trustee and the Issuer in writing. The Issuer may remove the
Trustee if:
(a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;
(b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an
order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any
Bankruptcy Law;
(c) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or
its property; or
(d) 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 Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders
of a majority in
49
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor
Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Issuer, or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
If the Trustee after written request by any Holder of a Note who has
been a Holder of a Note for at least six months fails to comply with Section
7.10 hereof, such Holder of a Note may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
Trustee.
A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon, the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the
successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee
under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of such
succession to Holders of the Notes. The retiring Trustee shall promptly
transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee provided
all sums owing to the retiring Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to
the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding replacement of
the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section
7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.09. 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 or association without any further act shall be the
successor Trustee.
SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America or of any state thereof authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, shall be subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authority and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $100 million
as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition.
This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the
requirements of TIA Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject
to TIA Section 310(b).
50
SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF
CLAIMS AGAINST ISSUER.
The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any
creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has
resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent
indicated therein.
ARTICLE 8
DEFEASANCE
SECTION 8.01. OPTION TO EFFECT DEFEASANCE.
The Issuer may, at the option of its Board of Trustees evidenced by a
resolution set forth in an Officers' Certificate, at any time, with respect to
the Notes, elect to have Section 8.02 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Eight.
SECTION 8.02. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.
Upon the Issuer's exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option
applicable to this Section 8.02, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the
date the conditions set forth below (including Section 8.03) are satisfied
(hereinafter, "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the
Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
"outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.04 hereof and the other
Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) of this Section 8.02, and
to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture
(and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of
Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in
Section 8.03 hereof, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of and interest on such Notes when such payments are
due, (b) the Issuer's obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections
2.04, 2.06, 2.07, 2.10 and 4.02 hereof, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Issuer's obligations in
connection therewith, and (d) this Article Eight.
51
SECTION 8.03. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE.
The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section
8.02 hereof to the outstanding Notes:
(a) the Issuer shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
of Section 7.10 hereof who shall agree to comply with the provisions of
this Article Eight applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the
purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Notes,
(i) Cash in an amount or (ii) non-callable Governmental Securities which
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof
in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before
the due date of any payment under the Notes, Cash in an amount, or (iii) a
combination thereof, in such amounts, as will be sufficient to pay and
discharge and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge (A) the principal of and interest on the
outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption
date, as the case may be, and (B) any mandatory sinking fund payments or
analogous payments applicable to the outstanding Notes on the day on which
such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture and of such Notes; provided that the Trustee shall have been
irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such non-
callable Governmental Securities to said payments with respect to the
Notes;
(b) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes
shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;
(c) such Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or
instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound;
(d) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate stating that the deposit made by the Issuer pursuant to its
election under Section 8.02 hereof was not made by the Issuer with the
intent of preferring the Holders over other creditors of the Issuer or with
the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the
Issuer or others;
(e) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to the Defeasance under Section 8.02 have
been complied with as contemplated by this Section 8.03;
52
(f) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Issuer
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (ii) since the date hereof, there has been a change in
the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that,
and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders
of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of such Defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
at the same times as would have been the case if such Defeasance had not
occurred; and
(g) the Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such deposit would not constitute a preference
as defined in Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the trust funds would
not constitute property included within the estate of the debtor.
SECTION 8.04. DEPOSITED MONEY AND GOVERNMENTAL
SECURITIES TO BE HELD IN TRUST;
OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
Subject to Section 8.05 hereof, all money and Governmental Securities
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.04, the "Trustee") pursuant
to Section 8.03 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Issuer acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal and interest, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or Governmental Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof or the principal and interest received
in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is
for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes.
Anything in this Article Eight to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon the request of
the Issuer any money or Governmental Securities held by it as provided in
Section 8.03 hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in
53
excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Defeasance.
SECTION 8.05. REPAYMENT TO ISSUER.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Issuer, in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any
Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on its request or (if then
held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Note shall thereafter, as a general unsecured creditor, look only to the Issuer
for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Issuer, as trustees
thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such
Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the
expense of the Issuer cause to be published once, in the New York Times and The
Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed
and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days
from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of
money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
SECTION 8.06. REINSTATEMENT.
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any Cash or
Governmental Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof, as the case may
be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Issuer's obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof, as the case may be; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that, if the Issuer makes any payment of principal or interest on any
Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Issuer shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such payment
from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
54
ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
SECTION 9.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.
Notwithstanding Section 9.02 hereof, the Issuer and the Trustee may
amend or supplement this Indenture and the Notes without the consent of any
Holder of a Note:
(a) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(b) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
place of certificated Notes;
(c) to provide for (i) the assumption of the Issuer's
obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger or
consolidation pursuant to Article 5 hereof, and (ii) certain amendments to
the Collateral Documents expressly called for therein pursuant to Section
10.01 hereof;
(d) to execute and deliver any documents necessary or
appropriate to release Liens on any Collateral as permitted by Section
10.03 or 10.04 hereof;
(e) to make any change that would provide any additional rights
or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not materially
adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; or
(f) to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or
maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.
Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution of the
Board of Trustees of the Issuer authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental Indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 9.06 hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer 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 which may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into any such amended or supplemental Indenture which affects
its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture, the Collateral
Documents or otherwise. The Issuer shall give the Holders of the Notes notice
of the effectiveness of any amendment under this Section 9.01.
55
SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES.
The Issuer and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the
Notes, or any amended or supplemental Indenture with the written consent of the
Required Holders (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer
or exchange offer for the Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default
and its consequences or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the
Notes may be waived with the consent of the Required Holders (including consents
obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes).
Upon the request of the Issuer accompanied by a resolution the Board
of Trustees of the Issuer 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 Required Holders as aforesaid,
and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.06
hereof, the Trustee shall join with the Issuer 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 in its discretion, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.
After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section becomes
effective, the Issuer shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a
notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of
the Issuer 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. Subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07 hereof, the Required
Holders may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Issuer with any
provision of this Indenture or the Notes. However, without the consent of each
Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held
by a nonconsenting Holder of Notes):
(a) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must
consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;
(b) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any
Note or reduce the redemption price of the Notes;
(c) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of
interest on any Note;
(d) 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 Required Holders and a waiver of the payment default
that resulted from such acceleration);
56
(e) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the
Notes;
(f) make any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating
to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive
payments of principal of or interest on the Notes;
(g) directly or indirectly release Liens on all or substantially
all of the Collateral except in connection with a merger, consolidation or
disposition of assets permitted under this Indenture;
(h) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver
provision; or
(i) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note.
SECTION 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.
Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be
set forth in an amended or supplemental Indenture that complies with the TIA as
then in effect.
SECTION 9.04. 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 of a Note 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 of a Note 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 waiver, supplement or amendment becomes
effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance
with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder of a Note.
The Issuer may fix a record date for determining which Holders of the
Notes must consent to such amendment, supplement or waiver. If the Issuer fixes
a record date, the record date shall be fixed at (i) the later of 30 days prior
to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of
Holders of Notes furnished to the Trustee prior to such solicitation pursuant to
Section 2.05 hereof or (ii) such other date as the Issuer shall designate.
57
SECTION 9.05. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES.
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment,
supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Issuer in
exchange for all Notes may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes
that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver.
Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not
affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
SECTION 9.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.
The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental Indenture
authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not
adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
The Issuer may not sign an amendment or supplemental Indenture until its Board
of Trustees approves it. In signing or refusing to sign such amendment or
supplemental Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, if requested,
an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it and to receive and, subject to
Section 7.01 hereof, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment
or supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it
is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the
Issuer in accordance with its terms.
ARTICLE 10
COLLATERAL AND SECURITY
SECTION 10.01. COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS.
The due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on the
Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest
payment date or a principal amortization date, at maturity, by acceleration,
repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of
and interest (to the extent permitted by law), if any, on the Notes and
performance of all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders of Notes, the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent under this Indenture, the Collateral Documents
and the Notes, according to the terms hereunder or thereunder, shall be secured
as provided in the Collateral Documents which the Issuer and the Subsidiaries
have entered into simultaneously with the execution of this Indenture. Each
Holder of Notes, by its acceptance thereof, consents and agrees to the terms of
the Collateral Documents (including, without limitation, the provisions
providing for foreclosure and release of Collateral) as the same may be in

as may be necessary or proper, or as may be required by the provisions of the

interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Collateral Documents
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 the Notes
secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The
Issuer shall take, or shall cause the Subsidiaries to take, upon request of
the Trustee, any and all actions reasonably required to cause the Collateral
Documents to create and maintain, as security for the Obligations of the
Issuer hereunder, a valid and enforceable perfected first priority Lien in

superior to and prior to the rights of all third Persons other than those
holding the First Lien Debt, and (b) subject to no Liens other than the Liens

respect to the security interests in the Collateral the details of such action
or referring to prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, and
(B) stating 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
59
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, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral
Documents with respect to the security interests in the Collateral, or
(ii) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action is necessary
to maintain such Lien and assignment.
SECTION 10.03. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL.
(a) Subject to subsections (b) and (d) of this Section 10.03,
Collateral may be released from the Lien and security interest created by the
Collateral Documents at any time or from time to time in accordance with the
provisions of the Collateral Documents.

interest created by the Collateral Documents pursuant to the provisions of the

Offer in accordance with Section 3.09 hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding any of the terms hereof or of any of the
Collateral Documents, at any time when an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing and the maturity of the Notes shall have been accelerated
(whether by declaration or otherwise), the Collateral Agent shall not, without
the consent of the Required Holders, release any Collateral pursuant to the
provisions hereof or any of the Collateral Documents.
(d) The release of any Collateral from the terms of this
Indenture and the Collateral Documents 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 hereof.
To the extent applicable, the Issuer shall cause TIA Section 314(d) relating
to the release of property or securities from the Lien and security interest
of the Collateral Documents and relating to the substitution therefor of any
property or securities to be subjected to the Lien and security interest of
the Collateral Documents to be complied with. Any certificate or opinion
required by TIA Section 314(d) may be made by an Officer of the Issuer except
in cases where TIA Section 314(d) 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 Trustee or
the Collateral Agent in the exercise of reasonable care.
60
SECTION 10.04. CERTIFICATES OF THE ISSUER.
The Issuer shall furnish to the Trustee and the Collateral
Agent, prior to each proposed release of Collateral pursuant to the Collateral
Documents or this Indenture, (i) all documents required by Section 314(d) of the
TIA and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such accompanying
documents constitute all documents required by Section 314(d) of the TIA. The
Trustee may, to the extent permitted by Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, accept as
conclusive evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions the appropriate
statements contained in such documents and such Opinion of Counsel.
SECTION 10.05. AUTHORIZATION OF ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY
THE COLLATERAL AGENT UNDER THE COLLATERAL
DOCUMENTS.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02 hereof, the
Trustee may, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders of
Notes, on behalf of the Holders of Notes, direct the Collateral Agent to take
all actions it deems necessary or appropriate in order to (a) enforce any of the
terms of the Collateral Documents and (b) collect and receive any and all
amounts payable in respect of the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder or under
the Collateral Documents. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have power
to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings and enter into such
agreements as either may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the
Collateral by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of the Collateral
Documents or this Indenture, and such suits, proceedings and agreements 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 Trustee, the
Collateral Agent or the Holders of Notes).
SECTION 10.06. AUTHORIZATION OF RECEIPT OF FUNDS BY THE
TRUSTEE UNDER THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS.
The Trustee shall cause the Collateral Agent to deliver to the Trustee

distributions of such funds to the Holders of Notes according to the provisions
of this Indenture and the Collateral Documents.

this Indenture, the Notes and the Collateral Documents (including an effective

of the Issuer, release the Liens pursuant to this Indenture. If the Trustee or
Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States Dollars or Governmental
Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 hereof by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or Governmental Authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Trustee shall cause the
Collateral Agent to cause the Liens to be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with
Section 8.02 hereof.
SECTION 10.08. COLLATERAL AGENT'S DUTIES.
The Collateral Agent, acting in its capacity as such, shall have only
such duties with respect to the Collateral as are set forth in the Collateral
Documents.

GUARANTEE OF NOTES
SECTION 11.01. UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE.
Subject to the provisions of this Article 11 the Guarantors, jointly
and severally, hereby unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee, the due and
punctual payment of the principal of and interest on such Note, when and as the
same shall become due and payable, whether by declaration thereof or otherwise,
in accordance with the terms of such Note and of this Indenture. The Guarantors
hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity,
irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or this Indenture, any failure
to enforce the provisions of any such Note or this Indenture, any waiver,
modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto, by the
holder of such Note or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor.
The Guarantors hereby waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any
right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, the benefit of
discussion, protest or notice with respect to any such Note or the Indebtedness
evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenant that this Guarantee
will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in full of the
principal of and interest thereon.
62
The Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of any
Notes against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the Holder by the
Guarantors pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
the Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments
arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of
and interest on all Notes shall have been paid in full.
The Guarantees set forth in this Section 11.01 shall not be valid or
become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Note until the certificate
of authentication on such Note shall have been signed by or on behalf of the
Trustee.
SECTION 11.02. CONTRIBUTION.
If any Guarantor shall have paid more than its pro rata share pursuant
to this Article 11, then such Guarantor (a "Funding Guarantor") shall be
entitled to a contribution from all other Guarantors in a PRO RATA amount based
on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor (including the Funding Guarantor)
for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by such Funding Guarantor in
discharging the Issuer's obligations with respect to the Notes or any other
Guarantor's obligations with respect to the Guarantees.
SECTION 11.03. "TRUSTEE" TO INCLUDE PAYING AGENT.
In case at any time any paying agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Issuer and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as
used in this Article 11 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise
require) be construed as extending to and including such paying agent within its
meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such paying agent were named
in this Article 11 in place of the Trustee.
SECTION 11.04. RELEASE OF A GUARANTOR.
Upon the sale or disposition of any Guarantor by the Issuer in
compliance with the terms of this Indenture (including by way of merger or
consolidation), such Guarantor shall be deemed released from all obligations
under this Article 11 without any further action required on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder. All other Guarantors shall remain jointly and severally
liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes as provided
in this Article 11. At the request of the Issuer, however, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.
63
SECTION 11.05. EXECUTION OF GUARANTEES.
To evidence their guarantee to the Holders specified in Section 11.01
hereof, the Guarantors hereby agree to execute the Guarantee substantially in
the form above recited to be endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of each of the
Guarantors by its Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice President prior to
the authentication of the Note on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such
Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall
constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of the Guarantors. Such
signatures upon a Guarantee may be manual or facsimile signature of the present,
past or any future such officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on
the Guarantees, and in case any such officer who shall have signed any of the
Guarantees shall cease to be such officer before the Note on which such
Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
or disposed of by the Issuer, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated and
delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the Guarantee had not
ceased to be such officer of such Guarantor.

11-1/8% Senior Secured Note due 2002
Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in
the Indenture (as defined below) unless otherwise indicated.
1. INTEREST. Mortgage and Realty Trust, a real estate investment
trust organized under the laws of Maryland (the "Issuer"), promises to pay
interest on the principal amount of this Note at the rate and in the manner
specified below. Interest will accrue at 11-1/8% per annum and will be payable
semiannually in arrears on each June 30 and December 31, commencing _________
__, 1995 or if any such day is not a Business Day on the next succeeding
Business Day (each an "Interest Payment Date") to Holders of record of the Notes
at the close of business on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1,
whether or not a Business Day. Interest will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest shall accrue from the
most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from ________ __, 1995. The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue
principal at the rate equal to 2% per annum in excess of the then applicable
interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; and it shall pay interest on
overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace
periods) at the same rate to the extent lawful.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Issuer will pay interest on the Notes
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes
at the close of business on the record date next preceding the Interest Payment
Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before
such Interest Payment Date. The Holder hereof must surrender this Note to a
Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Issuer will pay principal and
interest in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts. The Notes will be payable both
as to principal and interest at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained
for such purpose within the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania or, at the option
of a Holder, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to such Holder at
its address set forth in the register of Holders or by wire to an account
designated by such Holder. Unless otherwise designated by the Issuer, the
Issuer's office or agency in Philadelphia will be the office or agency of the
Trustee maintained for such a purpose.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, the Trustee will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar. The Issuer may change any Paying Agent, Registrar
or co-registrar without prior notice to any Holder of a Note. The Issuer may
act in any such capacity.
A-2
4. INDENTURE. The Issuer issued the Notes under an Indenture, dated
as of ________ __, 1995 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and the Trustee.
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, as amended (15
U.S.C. Sections 77aaa-77bbbb), as in effect on the Issue Date. The Notes are
subject to all such terms, and Holders of Notes are referred to the Indenture
and such act for a statement of such terms. The terms of the Indenture shall
govern any inconsistencies between the Indenture and the Notes. The Notes
are secured obligations of the Issuer limited to $110,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Issuer shall have the option to redeem
the Notes, in whole or in part, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days'
notice, at par plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the applicable
redemption date.
6. MANDATORY REDEMPTION. Except as set forth under Sections 3.09 and
4.19 of the Indenture, the Issuer will not be required to make mandatory
redemption payments or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes.
7. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER.
(a) If there is a Change of Control unless waived by the Required
Holders, the Issuer shall be required to offer to purchase on the Change of
Control Payment Date all outstanding Notes at a purchase price equal to 100% of
the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
Change of Control Payment Date. Holders of Notes that are subject to an offer
to purchase will receive a Change of Control Offer from the Issuer prior to any
related Change of Control Payment Date and may elect to have such Notes
purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase"
appearing below.
(b) If at any time the aggregate amount of Asset Sale Proceeds or net
cash proceeds of Indebtedness incurred pursuant to Section 4.14(i) of the
Indenture that have not been applied in accordance with Section 3.09 of the
Indenture (exclusive of any Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds which
remain after the completion of any prior Asset Sale Offer) exceeds $10 million,
the Issuer shall be required to purchase the maximum principal amount of Notes
that, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, may be purchased with
80% of any Asset Sale Proceeds or 100% of the net cash proceeds of such
Indebtedness, at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer.
To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Notes tendered together
with accrued and unpaid interest thereon pursuant to any Asset Sale Offer is
less than the Asset Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds of Indebtedness available
therefor, the Issuer may use such deficiency in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes surrendered by Holders
thereof together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon exceeds the amount of
Asset
A-3
Sale Proceeds or net cash proceeds of Indebtedness, the Notes to be redeemed
shall be selected on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be
deemed appropriate by the Issuer so that only Notes in denominations of $1,000,
or integral multiples thereof, shall be purchased). Holders of Notes that are
the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the
Issuer (or the applicable Subsidiary) prior to any related purchase date and may
elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled "Option of
Holder to Elect Purchase" appearing below. Any Holder may at any time elect to
deliver to the Trustee written instructions (each a "Standing Instruction")
stating that such Holder desires to participate in any Asset Sale Offer by
tendering the maximum permitted number of such Holder's Notes for repurchase in
such Asset Sale Offer. Upon receipt of such Standing Instruction, the Trustee
shall deem the maximum permitted number of such Holder's Notes tendered upon the
commencement of any Asset Sale Offer. The issuing Holder may withdraw such
Standing Instruction at any time prior to the expiration of an Offer Period by
so notifying the Trustee in writing. Each Holder electing not to deliver a
Standing Instruction shall respond to the notice of an Asset Sale Offer, as set
forth in Section 3.09 of the Indenture, prior to the termination of the Offer
Period.
8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption shall be mailed at
least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each
Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address. Notes may be
redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of $1,000, unless all of the Notes
held by a Holder of Notes are to be redeemed. On and after the redemption date,
interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
9. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered
form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000. The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as
provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder
of a Note, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer
documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the
Indenture. The Registrar need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note
or portion of a Note selected for redemption. Also, it need not exchange or
register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of
Notes to be redeemed.

in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act.

prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), or any other event shall occur
or condition shall exist under any agreement or instrument relating to any such
Indebtedness, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate, or to

Indebtedness shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid
(other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment), prior to the stated

or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Issuer or such
Material Subsidiary seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or

protection, relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the
entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other
similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the
case of any such proceedings instituted against the Issuer or such Material
Subsidiary (but not instituted by it), either such proceedings shall remain
undismissed or unstayed for a period of 30 days or any of the actions sought in
such proceedings shall occur, or the Issuer or such Material Subsidiary shall
take any action to authorize any of the foregoing actions; or any judgment or

Documents shall, for any reason, cease to create a valid Lien on Collateral
having a value of $1,000,000 or more purported to be covered thereby, or such

Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Required Holders
may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Holders of the

Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, the Required Holders may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Required Holders, 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 the Indenture
except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of interest on,
or the principal of, the Notes.
13. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH ISSUER. The Trustee under the Indenture,
in its individual or other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from,
and perform services for the Issuer or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal
with the Issuer or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee; however, if the
Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within
90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or resign.
14. NO PERSONAL LIABILITIES OF TRUSTEES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND
EQUITYHOLDERS. No trustee, officer, employee or equityholder of the Issuer or
any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the
Issuer under the Notes, the Indenture or the Collateral Documents or for any
obligations of the
A-6
Guarantors under the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of,
or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the
Notes by accepting a Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver
and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes.

representation is made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on
the Notes or as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed

subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture and the Collateral
Documents.

security, in Mortgagee's sole discretion and without notice to Mortgagor, revoke
said authority and may collect and retain any or all of the Rents, without
taking possession of all or any part of the Property. The right to collect
Rents as herein provided shall not be deemed to grant to Mortgagee the right to
possession of the Property, except as expressly herein provided, or to impose
upon Mortgagee the duty to produce any Rents or maintain the Property in whole
or in part. Any Rents collected by Mortgagee may be applied by Mortgagee, in
its sole discretion, against any of the Secured Obligations whether now existing
or hereafter arising. Collection of any Rents by Mortgagee shall not waive any
other right or remedy of Mortgagee hereunder or any notice of default given
hereunder or invalidate any acts done pursuant to notice.
18. DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any Event of Default under (and as
defined and particularly described in) the Plan and Collateral Agreement shall
constitute a default (a "Default") by Mortgagor hereunder.
19. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Following the occurrence of a Default and
upon the instruction of Lenders pursuant to the Plan, Mortgagee, in its sole
discretion, shall have any and all of the following rights and remedies without
regard to the adequacy of any security for the obligations and indebtedness
hereby secured:
9
(a) ACCELERATION OF MATURITY. In accordance with the Plan, to
declare the Liabilities immediately due and payable, without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived
by Mortgagor. Any Acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Lenders
pursuant to Lenders Action. No such rescission and annulment shall affect any
subsequent Default or Acceleration or impair any right of any Lender with
respect to any subsequent Default or Acceleration;
(b) PERFORMANCE OF MORTGAGEE. With or without notice and
without releasing Mortgagor from any obligation hereunder, to cure any default
under any agreement affecting the security hereof and in connection therewith to
enter upon the Property and do such acts and things as Mortgagee deems necessary
or desirable to protect the security hereof including (i) appear in and defend
any action or proceeding purporting to affect the security hereof or the rights
or powers of Mortgagee hereunder, (ii) pay, purchase, contest or compromise any
encumbrance, charge, lien or claim of lien as and to the extent authorized by
the terms of the Plan and Collateral Agreement, (iii) pay any premium or charge
with respect to insurance required to be carried hereunder or in the Plan or
Collateral Agreement, or (iv) employ counsel, accountants, contractors and other
appropriate persons to assist either of them;
(c) PROCEEDINGS. To commence and maintain an action or actions,
or other case or proceeding, in any court of competent jurisdiction, to
foreclose this instrument as a mortgage, for appointment of a receiver, or for
specific enforcement of the covenants of Mortgagor hereunder, and Mortgagor
agrees that such covenants shall be specifically enforceable by injunction or
any other appropriate equitable remedy;
(d) POSSESSION OF PROPERTY; APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER.
Irrespective of whether Mortgagee exercises the option provided in subparagraph
(a) above, to enter upon, take possession of, manage and operate the Property or
any part thereof in person or by agent or by court-appointed receiver; to make,
terminate, enforce or modify leases of the Property upon such terms and
conditions as Mortgagee deems proper, make repairs, alterations and improvements
to the Property or develop the Property, for the purpose of protecting or
enhancing the security hereof, and Mortgagor agrees to pay all expenses of
action so taken only as and to the extent required by the Collateral Agreement
and the Plan and the payment thereof shall be secured hereby. All sums realized
by Mortgagee hereunder, less all costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, and less such sum as Mortgagee deems necessary and appropriate
as a reserve to meet such future expenses, shall be applied upon any
indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Mortgagee, in its sole discretion,
shall determine. Neither application of said sums to said indebtedness nor any
other action taken by Mortgagee hereunder shall waive any other right or remedy
of Mortgagee
10
hereunder or any notice of default hereunder or nullify the effect of any such
notice of default. Any action taken under this subparagraph may be taken by
Mortgagee or any employee or agent of Mortgagee with or without bringing any
action or proceeding, or may be taken by a receiver appointed by a court, and
any such action may be taken without regard to the adequacy of the security for
the indebtedness secured hereunder and whether or not notice of default has been
recorded, and Mortgagor consents to the appointment of a receiver hereunder;
(e) SALE OF PROPERTY. Without prior notice to Mortgagor, to
execute a written notice of such default and of Mortgagee's election to cause
the Property to be sold to satisfy all or any of the Secured Obligations. Such
notice of sale shall be given and recorded as then required by law as a
condition for conducting a sale by Mortgagee. When the minimum period of time
required by law after such notice has elapsed, Mortgagee, without demand on
Mortgagor, shall sell the Property at the time and place of sale fixed by it in
the notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate parcels and in such order
as it or Mortgagee may determine, at a public auction to the highest bidder for
cash in lawful money of the United States, payable at time of sale. Mortgagee
may hold one or more sales of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to time thereafter
may postpone such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Property by public
announcement at such time fixed by the preceding postponement. Mortgagee shall
deliver to the Purchaser at such sale or sales its deed or xxxx of sale
conveying the property so sold, but without any covenant or warranty, express or
implied. The recitals in such deed or xxxx of sale of any matters or facts
shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. Any person including
Mortgagor or Mortgagee may purchase at such sale. If Mortgagee is the
successful purchaser, it may apply any of the outstanding obligations secured
hereby in settlement of the purchase price. After deducting all costs, fees and
expenses of Mortgagee and of this Mortgage, including costs of evidence of title
and reasonable attorneys' fees in connection with such sale, Mortgagee shall, if
permitted by applicable law, apply the proceeds of sale, if any, to payment of
(i) all sums expended by or on behalf of Mortgagee under the terms hereof not
then repaid, with accrued interest thereon at the legal rate, (ii) the payment
of the Secured Obligations pursuant to the instructions of Mortgagee, and (iii)
the remainder, if any, to the person or persons legally entitled thereto.
20. UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT AND FINANCING
STATEMENT. This Mortgage is a security agreement and financing statement
pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the items specified above as
part of the Property which, under applicable law, may be subject to a security
interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, and Mortgagor hereby grants
Mortgagee a security interest in said terms. This
11
Mortgage is filed as a fixture filing and covers goods which are or are to
become fixtures. The address of Mortgagee (secured party) from which
information concerning the security interest may be obtained and the mailing
address of Mortgagor (debtor) are set forth on the first page of this Mortgage.
The types, or items, of collateral are described in Paragraph 1 of this
Mortgage. Mortgagor agrees that Mortgagee may file any appropriate document in
the appropriate index as a financing statement for any of the items specified
above as part of the Property. In addition, Mortgagor agrees to execute and
deliver to Mortgagee, upon Mortgagee's request, any financing statements, as
well as extensions, renewals and amendments thereof, and reproductions of this
instrument in such form as Mortgagee may require to perfect a security interest
with respect to said items. Mortgagor shall pay all costs of filing such
financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments, and releases
thereof, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches
for financing statements Mortgagee may reasonably require. Without the prior
written consent of Mortgagee, Mortgagor shall not create or suffer to be created
pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code any other security interest in said
items, including replacements and additions thereto except as otherwise
expressly permitted in the Collateral Agreement or Plan. Upon a Default,
Mortgagee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code and, at Mortgagee's option, may also invoke the other remedies
provided in this Mortgage and the Collateral Agreement as to such items. In
exercising any of said remedies, Mortgagee may proceed against the items of real
property and any items of personal property specified above as part of the
Property separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way
affecting the availability of Mortgagee's rights or remedies under the Uniform
Commercial Code or of the other remedies provided in this Mortgage, in the
Collateral Agreement, or by law.
TO MAKE MORTGAGEE'S RIGHT TO ENFORCE REMEDIES HEREUNDER MORE FLEXIBLE AND
EFFECTIVE, THE PARTIES ADDITIONALLY AGREE:
21. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. All rights and remedies of Mortgagee
hereunder are cumulative and in addition to all rights and remedies provided by
law and by the Collateral Agreement.
22. MARSHALLING. Mortgagor hereby waives any marshalling equity or
other right to inhibit, delay or restrict any sale or other disposition of the
Property or any part thereof by Mortgagee or to direct the order of such sale or
sales or other disposition.
23. NOTICE OF SALE. Any power granted to Mortgagee in this Mortgage
may be exercised, pursuant to a single notice of trustee's sale, separately with
respect to each and every item or parcel of Property or with respect to groups
and assemblages of Property, in Mortgagee's sole discretion, and may be
exercised on
12
separate days or at separate times or in separate places; the exercises of such
power of sale shall not be an action for purposes of any law or statute
pertaining to actions to enforce secured transactions.
24. JURY TRIAL. Each of the parties hereto waives any right it may
have to trial by jury.
BECAUSE COLLATERAL FOR THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS IS LOCATED IN DIFFERENT STATES,
THE MORTGAGOR AGREES TO WAIVE CERTAIN ADDITIONAL RIGHTS RESPECTING THE
ENFORCEMENT OF REMEDIES, AS FOLLOWS:
25. REDEMPTION AND VALUATION. As and to the fullest extent permitted
by law, Mortgagor waives any statutory right of redemption following any sale or
other disposition of Property by Mortgagee and any right to have Property which
is sold or otherwise disposed of by Mortgagee valued after such sale or
disposition, so that the total deficiency then remaining may be bid in any order
and in any party by Mortgagee at any other sale until the debt is satisfied in
full or the final deficiency then remaining shall be reducible to judgment
against Mortgagor by any court of competent jurisdiction; provided that the
value of the Property sold or otherwise disposed of by Mortgagee shall, to the
extent required by the law of the jurisdiction in which such Property is
located, be taken into account before entering a deficiency judgment against
Mortgagor.
26. DEFENSES. Any defense available to Mortgagor with respect to or
as a result of a sale or other disposition of any Property pursuant to this
section within one state shall not be available to Mortgagor with respect to any
Property located in any other state.
27. SALE OF PROPERTY. Following the occurrence of a Default and upon
the instruction of Lenders pursuant to the Plan, Mortgagee shall be entitled to
sell or dispose of any Property or any part thereof pursuant to this Mortgage in
any order and in any state or states, whether privately or by court proceeding
for foreclosure, seizure, appointment of receiver or otherwise, without regard
to any substantive or procedural defense, pleading bar, sanction or other remedy
which would otherwise be available to Mortgagor affecting Mortgagee's sole
discretion to sell or dispose of the Property or any part thereof in one action
rather than in multiple actions, en masse rather than by parcel, or in
satisfaction of all the indebtedness then secured by such Property rather than
of any part of the indebtedness designated by the Mortgagee in its sole
discretion, and for that purpose, and as and to the extent required to make the
remaining waivers, representations and agreements set forth in this section and
permitted by law, Mortgagor hereby disclaims any right and waives any defense
under:
13
(a) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580d, concerning
the bar against rendition of a deficiency judgment after foreclosure under a
power of sale,
(b) California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726, concerning
the form of foreclosure proceedings with respect to real property security
located in California,
(c) California Civil Code Section 1479, concerning the
application of general performance under several obligations to one creditor,
(d) California Civil Code, Section 2924g, concerning the conduct
of trustee's sales,
(e) California Civil Code Section 3433, concerning the relative
rights of different creditors interested in the same property, and
(f) Any laws or equitable principles in any other states in the
United States of America similar to the laws delineated in subparagraphs (a),
(b), (c), (d), and (e) above.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
28. NON-WAIVER.
(a) By accepting payment of any amount after its due date or
late performance of any obligation secured hereby, Mortgagee will not waive its
right either to require prompt payment when due of any other amounts or prompt
performance of any other obligations so secured or to declare a default for
failure to pay or perform when due. No exercise of any right or remedy by
Mortgagee hereunder shall constitute a waiver of any other right or remedy
herein contained or provided by law.
(b) No waiver by Mortgagee will be effective unless it is in
writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any payment made by the Mortgagee for insurance
premiums, Impositions or any other charges affecting the Property, shall not
constitute a waiver of Mortgagor's default in making such payments and shall not
obligate Mortgagee to make any further payments.
(c) Mortgagor agrees that in the event that any or all of such
Property is sold subject to this Mortgage and Mortgagee enters into any
agreement with the then owner of such Property respecting, or extending the time
for, payment of all or any part of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise
modifying any of the terms hereof, Mortgagor shall continue to be liable for the
Secured Obligations pursuant to the terms of the Plan and Collateral Agreement.

Agreement, Mortgagee shall have the right (a) to appear in and defend any action
or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Mortgagor which Mortgagee, in its
sole discretion, determines may adversely affect the Property or this Mortgage;

discretion, feels should be brought to protect its interest in the Property or
their respective rights hereunder. All costs and expenses incurred by Mortgagee
in connection with such actions or proceedings, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs shall be paid by Mortgagor, on demand.
33. ATTORNEYS' FEES. Mortgagor shall be liable for any attorneys'
fees or costs incurred by Mortgagee with regard to the collection, perfection or
enforcement of any right or remedy provided for herein pursuant to the
provisions of the Plan and Collateral Agreement.
34. SEVERABILITY. If any term of this Mortgage or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances shall to any extent be invalid, illegal

sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree
that the Deed of Trust is amended as follows:
1. REFERENCES. All references in the Deed of Trust to the
"Collateral Agreement" are hereby deemed to refer to the Original Collateral

amended and restated by the 1995 Amended Collateral Agreement; all references in
the Deed of Trust to the "Plan" are hereby deemed to refer to the 1995 Plan. In

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree
that the Mortgage is amended as follows:
1. REFERENCES. All references in the Mortgage to the "Collateral
Agreement" are hereby deemed to refer to the Original Collateral Agreement, as
amended by the 1992 Amendment to Collateral Agreement and as amended and
restated by the 1995 Amended Collateral Agreement; all references in the
Mortgage Trust to the "Plan" are hereby deemed to refer to the 1995 Plan. In
each instance where the Mortgage is to be governed by, or is subject to, the
terms of the Plan or the Collateral Agreement, the Mortgage shall also be
governed by, or be subject to, the terms of the Indenture. The Mortgage is
hereby incorporated herein by this reference (subject to the modifications set
forth in this First Amendment), and Mortgagor hereby restates the grants,
mortgages and warrants made by Mortgagor in the Mortgage as if set forth
in their entirety herein, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the
Mortgage, as amended hereby, secures and shall continue to secure the
Liabilities of MRT (including, without limitation, repayment of the Notes) under
and pursuant to (i) the 1990 Plan, as amended by the 1992 Plan Amendment and as
further modified by the 1995 Plan, (ii) the Original Collateral Agreement, as
amended by the 1992 Amendment to Collateral Agreement and as amended and
restated by the 1995 Amended Collateral Agreement, and (iii) the Mortgage,
as amended by this First Amendment.
2. RATIFICATION OF LIEN. Neither this First Amendment, the 1995 Plan,
the Indenture, the reissuance of the Notes in replacement form nor the 1995
Amended Collateral Agreement extinguishes, terminates or acts as a novation of
(or will be deemed to extinguish, terminate or act as a novation of) the Deed of
Trust or the lien created thereby, or otherwise adversely affects or otherwise
impairs the lien created by the Mortgage, and the Mortgage and the
lien created thereby is hereby ratified and confirmed and remains validly
existing and in full force and effect. For purposes of the Mortgage, as
amended by this First Amendment, the term "Liabilities" shall not impose on MRT
any greater indebtedness, liability or obligation than as such term was defined
prior to the date of this First Amendment.
3. NO IMPOSITION OF PERSONAL LIABILITY. This First Amendment has been
executed on behalf of Mortgagor by the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer in
his capacity as an officer of Mortgagor. As provided in section 7.2 of the
declaration of trust of Mortgagor, no trustee, officer, agent or shareholder of
Mortgagor shall be bound or held to any personal liability in connection with
the obligations of Mortgagor arising out of the execution of this First
Amendment. The execution of this First Amendment by the said individual shall
not bind the said individual and he shall not be held to any personal
3
liability in connection with the obligations under this First Amendment as a
result of such execution.
4. COUNTERPARTS. This First Amendment may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, copies of which
when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
