SECTION 1.01. Creation of the Debt Securities. In accordance with Section
-------------------------------
301 of the Indenture, the Company hereby creates the Notes as a series of its
Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture. The Notes shall be issued in an
aggregate principal amount initially limited to $55,000,000.
The Company may, subject to Article Three of this Second Supplemental
Indenture, issue Additional Notes having identical terms and conditions to the
Notes offered hereby. The Notes issued on the Closing Date and any Additional
Notes subsequently issued shall be treated as a single class for all purposes
under the Indenture.
SECTION 1.02. Form of the Debt Securities. The Notes shall be represented
---------------------------
by a single fully-registered global note in book-entry form (the "Global Note")
which shall be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company,
New York, New York ("DTC") and registered in the name of the nominee of DTC.
The Notes shall be in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. So long as DTC, or
its nominee, is the registered owner of a Global Note, DTC or its nominee, as
the case may be, shall be considered the sole owner or Holder of the Notes
represented by such Global Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Ownership
of beneficial interests in the Global Notes shall be shown on, and transfers
thereof shall be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect
to beneficial interests of participants or persons that hold interests through
participants) or by participants or persons that hold interests through
participants (with respect to beneficial interests of beneficial owners).
2
Except as provided in this Section, owners of beneficial interests in
the Global Note will not have Notes registered in their names, will not receive
physical delivery of Notes in certificated form and will not be considered the
registered owner or Holder thereof under the Indenture for any purpose.
Notes in certificated form shall be transferred to beneficial owners
in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Note if (i) the DTC (A)
notifies the Company that it is no longer willing or able to continue to act as
depositary for the Global Note and the Company thereupon fails to appoint a
successor depository or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act, and, in each case, the Company fails to locate a qualified
successor within 90 days; (ii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes; or (iii) the Company, at its option,
notifies the Trustee in writing that it elects to cause issuance of the Notes in
certificated form.
SECTION 1.03. Terms and Conditions of the Debt Securities. The Notes
-------------------------------------------
shall be governed by all the terms and conditions of the Indenture, as
supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, and in particular, the
following provisions shall be terms of the Notes:

appropriate.

Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive),
received by the Company after the initial issuance of the Notes
from the issuance or sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of
Qualified Equity Interests of the Company; plus
(C) the aggregate net proceeds including the fair market
value of property other than cash (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose good faith determination shall be conclusive),
received by the Company after January 30, 1997 from the issuance
or sale (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of debt
securities or Disqualified Stock that have been converted into or
exchanged for Qualified Stock of the Company, together with the
aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Company at the time
of such conversion or exchange.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and its Restricted
Subsidiaries may take the following actions, so long as (with respect to
clauses (e), (f) and (g) below) no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing or would occur:
(a) the payment of any dividend within 60 days after the date of
declaration thereof, if at the declaration date such payment would not have
been prohibited by the foregoing provision;
(b) the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for
value of any shares of Capital Stock of the Company, in exchange for, or
out of the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and
sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of Qualified Equity Interests of the
Company;
(c) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or
retirement for value of any Subordinated Debt in exchange for, or out of
the net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance and sale
(other than to a Subsidiary) of Qualified Equity Interests of the Company;
16
(d) the purchase, redemption, defeasance or other acquisition or
retirement for value of Subordinated Debt in exchange for, or out of the
net cash proceeds of a substantially concurrent issuance or sale (other
than to a Subsidiary) of, Subordinated Debt, so long as the Company or a
Restricted Subsidiary would be permitted to refinance such original
Subordinated Debt with such new Subordinated Debt pursuant to clause (xii)
of the definition of Permitted Debt;
(e) the repurchase of any Subordinated Debt at a purchase price not
greater than 101% of the principal amount of such Subordinated Debt in the
event of a change of control in accordance with provisions similar to
Section 303, provided that, prior to or simultaneously with such
repurchase, the Company has made the Change of Control Offer as provided in
Section 303 with respect to the Notes and has repurchased all Notes validly
tendered for payment in connection with such Change of Control Offer;
(f) loans or advances to officers, directors and employees of the
Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries made in the ordinary course
of business after the Closing Date in an amount not to exceed $1 million in
the aggregate at any one time outstanding;
(g) Investments by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in another
Person made with, or out of the net cash proceeds of, a substantially
concurrent issuance and sale (other than to a Subsidiary) of Qualified
Stock of the Company; and
(h) the making of an Investment in a Permitted Joint Venture so long
as the aggregate amount of all such Investments pursuant to this clause (h)
made after January 30, 1997 does not exceed the difference between (A) 25%
of the aggregate Consolidated Adjusted Net Income (without giving effect to
clause (e) of the definition thereof) of the Company during the period
(taken as one accounting period) from the first day of the Company's fiscal
quarter which includes January 30, 1997 to the last day of the Company's
most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements
are available at the time of such proposed Investment, minus (B) the
aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments made after January 30, 1997 in
reliance on the foregoing clause (iii)(A); provided, that, at the time of,
and immediately after giving effect to, the proposed Investment in a
Permitted Joint Venture pursuant to this clause (h), the Company could
incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt)
pursuant to the first paragraph of Section 301.
The actions described in clauses (b), (c), (e), (f), (g) and (h) of
this paragraph shall be Restricted Payments that shall be permitted to be
taken in accordance with this paragraph but shall reduce the amount that
would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of
the first paragraph of
17
this Section and the actions described in clauses (a) and (d) of this
paragraph shall be Restricted Payments that shall be permitted to be taken
in accordance with this paragraph and shall not reduce the amount that
would otherwise be available for Restricted Payments under clause (iii) of
the first paragraph of this Section.
For the purpose of making any calculations under this Supplemental
Indenture (i) if a Restricted Subsidiary is designated an Unrestricted
Subsidiary, the Company shall be deemed to have made an Investment in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the net assets of such Restricted
Subsidiary at the time of such designation as determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, whose good faith determination shall be
conclusive, (ii) any property transferred to or from an Unrestricted
Subsidiary shall be valued at fair market value at the time of such
transfer, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose
good faith determination shall be conclusive and (iii) subject to the
foregoing, the amount of any Restricted Payment, if other than cash, shall
be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, whose good faith
determination shall be conclusive.
If the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under
the foregoing provision includes an Investment in an Unrestricted
Subsidiary or other Person that thereafter becomes a Restricted Subsidiary,
the aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the
foregoing provision shall be reduced by the lesser of (x) the net asset
value of such Subsidiary at the time it becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and
(y) the initial amount of such Investment.
If an Investment resulted in the making of a Restricted Payment, the
aggregate amount of all Restricted Payments calculated under the foregoing
provision shall be reduced by the amount of any net reduction in such
Investment (resulting from the payment of interest or dividends, loan
repayment, transfer of assets or otherwise), to the extent such net
reduction is not included in the Company's Consolidated Adjusted Net
Income; provided that the total amount by which the aggregate amount of all
Restricted Payments may be reduced may not exceed the lesser of (x) the
cash proceeds received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in
connection with such net reduction and (y) the initial amount of such
Investment.
In computing Consolidated Adjusted Net Income of the Company under the
foregoing clause (iii)(A), (i) the Company may use audited financial
statements for the portions of the relevant period for which audited
financial statements are available on the date of determination and
unaudited financial statements and other current financial data based on
the books and records of the
18
Company for the remaining portion of such period and (ii) the Company shall
be permitted to rely in good faith on the financial statements and other
financial data derived from the books and records of the Company that are
available on the date of determination. If the Company makes a Restricted
Payment that, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, would
in the good faith determination of the Company be permitted under the
requirements of this Supplemental Indenture, such Restricted Payment shall
be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Supplemental Indenture
notwithstanding any subsequent adjustments made in good faith to the
Company's financial statements affecting Consolidated Adjusted Net Income
of the Company for any period.
SECTION 303. Purchase of Notes upon a Change of Control.
------------------------------------------
If a Change of Control occurs at any time, then each holder of Notes
shall have the right to require that the Company purchase such holder's
Notes, in whole or in part in integral multiples of $1,000, at a purchase
price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes, plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, pursuant to
the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") and the other
procedures set forth in the Indenture.
Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall
notify the Trustee thereof and give written notice of such Change of
Control to each holder of Notes by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at
its address appearing in the Security Register, stating, among other
things, (i) the purchase price and the purchase date, which shall be a
Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date
such notice is mailed or such later date as is necessary to comply with
requirements under the Exchange Act; (ii) that any Note not tendered shall
continue to accrue interest; (iii) that, unless the Company defaults in the
payment of the purchase price, any Notes accepted for payment pursuant to
the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Change
of Control purchase date; and (iv) certain other procedures that a holder
of Notes must follow to accept a Change of Control Offer or to withdraw
such acceptance.
The Company shall comply with the applicable tender offer rules
including Rule l4e-l under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable
securities laws and regulations in connection with a Change of Control
Offer.
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, create any restriction (other than restrictions existing under Debt as
in effect on the Closing Date or in refinancings of such Debt) that would
materially impair the ability of the Company to make a Change of Control
Offer to purchase the Notes
19
or, if such Change of Control Offer is made, to pay for the Notes tendered
for purchase.
SECTION 304. Limitation on Certain Asset Sales.
---------------------------------
(a) The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, engage in any Asset Sale unless (i) the consideration
received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary for such Asset Sale
is not less than the fair market value of the assets sold (as determined by
the Board of Directors of the Company, whose good faith determination shall
be conclusive) and (ii) the consideration received by the Company or the
relevant Restricted Subsidiary in respect of such Asset Sale consists of at
least 85% cash or cash equivalents.
(b) If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary engages in an Asset
Sale, the Company may, at its option, within 12 months after such Asset
Sale, (i) apply all or a portion of such Net Cash Proceeds to the repayment
of senior Debt of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) invest (or
enter into a legally binding agreement to invest) all or a portion of such
Net Cash Proceeds in properties and assets to replace the properties and
assets that were the subject of the Asset Sale or in properties and assets
that will be used in businesses of the Company or its Restricted
Subsidiaries, as the case may be, existing on the Closing Date, or in
Permitted Joint Ventures. If any such legally binding agreement to invest
such Net Cash Proceeds is terminated, the Company may, within 90 days of
such termination or within 12 months of such Asset Sale, whichever is
later, invest such Net Cash Proceeds as provided in clause (i) or (ii)
(without regard to the parenthetical contained in such clause (ii)) above.
The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds not so used as set forth above in this
paragraph (b) constitutes "Excess Proceeds".
---------------
(c) When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $5 million,
the Company shall, within 30 days thereafter, make an offer to purchase
from all holders of Notes, on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the
procedures set forth in the Indenture, the maximum principal amount
(expressed as a multiple of $1,000) of Notes that may be purchased with the
Excess Proceeds, at a purchase price in cash equal to 100% of the principal
amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the date such offer to
purchase is consummated. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount
of Notes tendered pursuant to such offer to purchase is less than the
Excess Proceeds, the Company may use such deficiency for general corporate
purposes. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and
not withdrawn by holders thereof exceeds the Excess Proceeds, the Notes to
be purchased shall be selected on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such
offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset to zero.
20
SECTION 305. Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.
------------------------------------------
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, enter into or suffer to exist any transaction
with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or any beneficial
owner of 5% or more of any class of the Capital Stock of the Company at any
time outstanding ("Interested Persons"), unless (a) such transaction is on
terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Restricted
Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could have been obtained in
an arm's length transaction with third parties who are not Interested
Persons and (b) either (i) with respect to any transaction or series of
transactions involving aggregate payments in excess of $1 million, but less
than $5 million, the Company delivers an officers' certificate to the
Trustee certifying that such transaction or transactions comply with clause
(a) above or (ii) with respect to a transaction or series of transactions
involving aggregate payments equal to or greater than $5 million, such
transaction or transactions have been approved by the Board of Directors
(including a majority of the Disinterested Directors) of the Company or the
Company has obtained a written opinion from a nationally recognized
investment banking firm to the effect that such transaction or transactions
are fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial
point of view.
The foregoing covenant shall not restrict
(A) transactions among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
(B) the Company from paying reasonable and customary regular
compensation and fees to directors of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary who are not employees of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary; and
(C) the application, directly or indirectly, of up to $5 million of
the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund the Company's
Investment in a Permitted Joint Venture doing business in Latin America.
SECTION 306. Limitation on Dividends and Other Payment Restrictions
------------------------------------------------------
Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.
---------------------------------
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or
become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction of any kind on
the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to (a) pay dividends, in cash or
otherwise, or make any
21
other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, (b) pay any Debt
owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (c) make loans or
advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary, (d) transfer
any of its properties or assets to the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary or (e) guarantee any Debt of the Company or any other Restricted
Subsidiary, except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or
by reason of:
(i) any agreement in effect on the Closing Date;
(ii) customary non-assignment provisions of any lease governing a
leasehold interest of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;
(iii) the refinancing or successive refinancings of Debt incurred
under the agreements in effect on the Closing Date, so long as such
encumbrances or restrictions are no less favorable to the Company or any
Restricted Subsidiary than those contained in such original agreement;
(iv) Warehouse Facilities and other credit facilities, provided,
however, that the terms and conditions of any such encumbrances or
restrictions are not materially more restrictive in the aggregate than
those contained in the revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks
and Fleet Bank, National Association, as agent, dated March 28, 1995, in
effect on the Closing Date in the judgment of the Board of Directors of the
Company as evidenced by a resolution of the Board of Directors of the
Company and filed with the Trustee; or
(v) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in existence at the time of such
acquisition (but not created in contemplation thereof), which encumbrance
or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets
of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the
Person, so acquired.
SECTION 307. Limitation on Issuances and Sales of Capital Stock of
-----------------------------------------------------
Restricted Subsidiaries.
-----------------------
The Company (a) shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue
any Capital Stock (other than to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary)
and (b) shall not permit any Person (other than the Company or a Restricted
Subsidiary) to own any Capital Stock of any Restricted Subsidiary;
provided, however, that this Section shall not prohibit (i) the sale or
other disposition of all, but not less than all, of the issued and
outstanding Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary owned by the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries in compliance with the other
22
provisions of this Supplemental Indenture and the provisions of the
Indenture or (ii) the ownership by directors of director's qualifying
shares or the ownership by foreign nationals of Capital Stock of any
Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent mandated by applicable law.
SECTION 308. Limitation on Guarantees of Debt by Restricted
----------------------------------------------
Subsidiaries.
------------
The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or
indirectly, to guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable for
the payment of any Debt of the Company or any Debt of any other Restricted
Subsidiary, unless (a) such Restricted Subsidiary simultaneously executes
and delivers a supplemental indenture providing for a guarantee of payment
of the Notes by such Restricted Subsidiary and (b) with respect to any
guarantee of Subordinated Debt by a Restricted Subsidiary, any such
guarantee is subordinated to such Restricted Subsidiary's guarantee with
respect to the Notes at least to the same extent as such Subordinated Debt
is subordinated to the Notes, provided that the foregoing provision shall
not be applicable to any guarantee by any Restricted Subsidiary that
existed at the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not
incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a
Restricted Subsidiary.
Any guarantee by a Restricted Subsidiary of the Notes pursuant to the
preceding paragraph shall provide by its terms that it shall be
automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon (i) any
sale, exchange or transfer to any Person not an Affiliate of the Company of
all of the Company's and the Restricted Subsidiaries' Capital Stock in, or
all or substantially all the assets of, such Restricted Subsidiary (which
sale, exchange or transfer is not prohibited by this Supplemental
Indenture) or (ii) the release or discharge of the guarantee that resulted
in the creation of such guarantee of the Notes, except a discharge or
release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee.
SECTION 309. Unrestricted Subsidiaries.
-------------------------
(a) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any
Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) to be
an Unrestricted Subsidiary so long as (i) neither the Company nor any
Restricted Subsidiary is directly or indirectly liable for any Debt of such
Subsidiary, (ii) no default with respect to any Debt of such Subsidiary
would permit (upon notice, lapse of time or otherwise) any holder of any
other Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to declare a default
on such other Debt or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or
payable prior to its stated maturity, (iii) any Investment in such
Subsidiary made as a result of designating such
23
Subsidiary an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not violate the provisions of
Section 1008, (iv) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has a
contract, agreement, arrangement, understanding or obligation of any kind,
whether written or oral, with such Subsidiary other than those that might
be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company
and (v) neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has any
obligation to subscribe for additional shares of Capital Stock or other
equity interest in such Subsidiary, or to maintain or preserve such
Subsidiary's financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve
certain levels of operating results. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company may not designate DVI Business Credit Corporation or DVI Financial
Services Inc. as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and may not sell, transfer or
otherwise dispose of any properties or assets of DVI Business Credit
Corporation or DVI Financial Services Inc. to an Unrestricted Subsidiary,
other than in the ordinary course of business.
(b) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any
Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such
designation shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Debt by a Restricted
Subsidiary of any outstanding Debt of such Unrestricted Subsidiary and such
designation shall only be permitted if (i) such Debt is permitted under
Section 301 and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing following such designation.
SECTION 310. Limitation on Liens.
-------------------
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary
to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien of any kind on or with respect to any of its property or assets,
including any shares of stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary,
whether owned at the Closing Date or thereafter acquired, or any income,
profits or proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to
receive income thereon, unless (a) in the case of any Lien securing
Subordinated Debt, the Notes are secured by a Lien on such property, assets
or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Lien and (b) in the case of
any other Lien, the Notes are equally and ratably secured with the
obligation or liability secured by such Lien.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may, and may permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, incur the following Liens ("Permitted Liens"):
(i) Liens on property or assets securing Permitted Warehouse Debt of
the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, other than Liens on Excess Spread
Receivables related to such Permitted Warehouse Debt not created in favor
of the lenders under the related Warehouse Facility;

granted in favor of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary;
(v) Liens securing the Notes;

purchase money security interests, so long as the aggregate amount secured
by such Liens does not exceed the amount permitted by clause (vi) of the
definition of "Permitted Debt";
(vii) Liens securing Acquired Debt created prior to (and not in
connection with or in contemplation of) the incurrence of such Debt by the
Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such Lien does not
extend to any property or assets of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary other than the property and assets acquired in connection with
the incurrence of such Acquired Debt;
(viii) Liens (other than on any Excess Spread Receivables) securing
obligations under Hedging Obligations permitted to be incurred pursuant to
clause (v) of the definition of "Permitted Debt";
(ix) statutory Liens or landlords', carriers', warehouseman's,

million;
(x) Liens for taxes, assessments, government charges or claims that
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly
instituted and diligently conducted;
(xi) Liens incurred or deposits made to secure the performance of
tenders, bids, leases, statutory obligations, surety and appeal bonds,

25
(xii) easements, rights-of-way, restrictions and other similar
charges or encumbrances not interfering in any material respect with the
business of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary incurred in the
ordinary course of business;
(xiii) Liens arising by reason of any judgment, decree or order of
any court, so long as such Lien is adequately bonded and any appropriate
legal proceedings that may have been duly initiated for the review of such
judgment, decree or order have not been finally terminated or the period
within which such proceedings may be initiated has not expired;
(xiv) Liens securing reimbursement obligations with respect to
letters of credit that encumber documents and other property relating to
such letters of credit and the products and proceeds thereof;
(xv) Liens in favor of customs and revenue authorities arising as a
matter of law to secure payment of customs duties in connection with the
importation of goods; and
(xvi) any extension, renewal or replacement, in whole or in part, of
any Lien described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (xv); provided that
any such extension, renewal or replacement is no more restrictive in any
material respect than the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced and does
not extend to any additional property or assets.
SECTION 311. Limitation on Investment Company Status.
---------------------------------------
The Company shall not take any action, or otherwise permit to exist any
circumstance, that would require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to
register as an "investment company" under the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
SECTION 312. Reports.
-------
The Company shall be required to file on a timely basis with the
Commission, to the extent such filings are accepted by the Commission and
whether or not the Company has a class of securities registered under the
Exchange Act, the annual reports, quarterly reports and other documents
that the Company would be required to file if it were subject to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company shall also be required (a) to
file with the Trustee, and provide to each holder of Notes, without cost to
such holder, copies of such reports and documents within 15 days after the
date on which the Company files such reports and documents with the
Commission or the date on which the Company would be required to file such
reports and documents if the Company
26
were so required and (b) if filing such reports and documents with the
Commission is not accepted by the Commission or is prohibited under the
Exchange Act, to supply at the Company's cost copies of such reports and
documents to any prospective holder of Notes promptly upon written request.

FURTHER AMENDMENT
SECTION 401. For purposes of the Notes and any Additional Notes

following:
SECTION 1403. Covenant Defeasance.
-------------------
Upon the Company's exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company
shall be released from its obligations under Sections 301 through 310 and
312 of the Second Supplemental Indenture on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant
defeasance"), and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed not to be
"Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
"Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding
Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability
in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default
under Section 501(4) or Section 501(8) or otherwise, as the case may be,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of the Indenture and such
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
