ARTICLE 2.
THE SECURITIES
SECTION 2.1 FORM AND DATING
The Securities and the Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit A. The Securities may have notations,
legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. The Securities shall be
in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof.
The Securities may be initially issued either in the form of a
Global Security or Securities or in the form of Definitive Securities or both. A
Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities as shall be
specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount
of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the
aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced or increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges and
redemptions. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of any
increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby
shall be made by the Trustee or an agent thereof, at the direction of the
Trustee, in accordance with instructions given by the Holder thereof. Definitive
Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced by any
combination of these methods on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any
other manner permitted by the rules of any securities exchange on which the
Securities may be listed, all as determined by the officers executing such
Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and
are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and to the extent
applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this
Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and to be bound thereby.
SECTION 2.2 EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION
Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or
facsimile signature. The Company's seal shall be reproduced on the Securities
and may be in facsimile form.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office
at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security nevertheless shall be
valid.
A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature
of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has
been authenticated under this Indenture.
-9-
The Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue up to the
aggregate principal amount stated in paragraph 4 of the Securities, upon a
written order of the Company signed by two Officers. The aggregate principal
amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed such amount except
as provided in Section 2.6.
The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company
to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company or
an Affiliate.
SECTION 2.3 REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT
The Company shall maintain or cause to be maintained through the Trustee or
such other Person as may be appointed hereunder an office or agency where
Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange
("Registrar") and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for
payment ("Paying Agent"). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities
and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more
co-registrars and one or more additional paying agents. The term "Registrar"
includes any co-registrar and the term "Paying Agent" includes any additional
paying agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without
notice to any Holder. The Company shall notify the Trustee of the name and
address of any Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to
appoint or maintain another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
shall act as such. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying
Agent or Registrar.
SECTION 2.4 PAYING AGENT TO HOLD MONEY IN TRUST
The Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree
in writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust for the benefit of the
Holders or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of
principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, and will notify
the Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any
such default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money
held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to
pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of the Holders
all money held by it as Paying Agent.
SECTION 2.5 REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE
Where Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register
a transfer of or to exchange the Securities for an equal principal amount of
Securities of other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or
make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met; provided,
however, that any Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instruction of
transfer in a form satisfactory to the Company, the Registrar and the Trustee
duly executed by the Holder thereof or the Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing. To permit registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Company shall
issue and the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request.
Without the prior written consent of the Company the Registrar shall not be
required (i) to register the transfer of or to exchange Securities during a
period beginning at the opening of business on a Business Day 15 days before the
day of the mailing of a notice of redemption under Section 3.1 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) to register the transfer of
or to exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable and any other expenses (including the fees
and expenses of the Trustee) in
-10-
connection therewith (other than such transfer tax or similar governmental
charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to Section 3.6 or 9.5).
The transfer and exchange of Global Securities or beneficial interests
therein shall be effected through the Depositary in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.
SECTION 2.6 REPLACEMENT SECURITIES
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and
the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon the written
order of the Company signed by two Officers, shall authenticate a replacement
Security if the Trustee's requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or
the Company, an indemnity bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient
in the judgment of the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the
Trustee, the Agent or any authenticating agent from any loss which any of them
may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in
replacing a Security.
Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.
SECTION 2.7 OUTSTANDING SECURITIES
The Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated
by the Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for
cancellation and those described in this Section 2.7 as not outstanding.
If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.6, it ceases to be
outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.
If the principal amount of any Security is considered paid under Section
4.1, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue as of the
date it is deemed paid. Upon a "legal defeasance" pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or
a "covenant defeasance" pursuant to Section 8.1(c), the Securities shall be
deemed to be outstanding or not outstanding as provided in the applicable
Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(c).
Except as set forth in Section 2.8, a Security does not cease
to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate holds the Security.
SECTION 2.8 TREASURY SECURITIES
In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of
Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned
by the Company or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company shall be
considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so
owned shall be so disregarded.
SECTION 2.9 TEMPORARY SECURITIES
Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities
shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have
variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities.
-11-
SECTION 2.10 CANCELLATION
The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or
payment. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of
transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation, and, upon request of
the Company, certification of their destruction shall be delivered to the
Company unless, by a written order signed by two Officers, the Company shall
direct that canceled Securities be returned to it. The Company may not issue new
Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or that have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation.
SECTION 2.11 DEFAULTED INTEREST
If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, 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 on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate provided
in the Securities. The Company, with the consent of the Trustee, shall fix each
such special record date and payment date. At least 15 days before the special
record date, the Company (or, upon request of the Company, the Trustee, in the
name of and at the expense of the Company) shall mail to Holders a notice that
states the special record date, the related payment date and the amount of such
interest to be paid.
SECTION 2.12 SECURITIES ISSUABLE IN THE FORM OF A GLOBAL SECURITY
(a) If the Company shall establish that the Securities are to be issued in
whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company
shall execute and the Trustee or an agent thereof shall, in accordance with
Section 2.2 and the written order of the Company delivered to the Trustee or its
agent thereunder, authenticate and deliver such Global Security or Securities,
which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of, the outstanding Securities to be represented by
such Global Security or Securities, or such portion thereof as the Company shall
specify in a written order of the Company signed by two Officers, (ii) shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities
or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee or its agent to the
Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction and (iv) shall bear a
legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged
in whole or in part for securities in definitive form, this security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary
or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the
Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or
a nominee of such successor Depositary. Unless this certificate is presented by
an authorized representative of the Depositary to the Company or its agent for
registration of transfer, exchange, or payment, and any certificate issued is
registered in the name of the nominee of the Depositary or in such other name as
is requested by an authorized representative of the Depositary (and any payment
is made to the nominee of the Depositary or to such other entity as is requested
by an authorized representative of the Depositary), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR
OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch
as the registered owner hereof, the nominee of the Depositary, has an interest
herein."
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.12 or of Section
2.5, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, a Global Security may
be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section
2.5, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the
Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or
approved by the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.
(c) (i) If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global
Security or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities shall no longer be
eligible or in good standing under the Exchange Act or any other applicable
statute or regulation, the Company
-12-
shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a
successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or an agent thereof,
upon receipt of a written order of the Company signed by two Officers for the
authentication and delivery of individual Definitive Securities in exchange for
such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Definitive
Securities of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for such Global Security.
(ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that
the Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no
longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the
Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers for the authentication and delivery of individual
Definitive Securities in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security,
will authenticate and deliver individual Definitive Securities of like tenor and
terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such
Global Security or Securities in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities.
(iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to a written order of the
Company signed by two Officers, the Depositary for a Global Security may
surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual
Definitive Securities of like tenor and terms on such terms as are acceptable to
the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee or an agent thereof, upon a written order of the Company signed by two
Officers, shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (1) to each
Person specified by such Depositary a new Definitive Security or Securities of
like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such
Person in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
Person's beneficial interest as specified by such Depositary in the Global
Security; and (2) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and
terms and in an authorized denomination equal to the difference, if any, between
the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate
principal amount of Definitive Securities delivered to Holders thereof.
(iv) In any exchange provided for in (i), (ii) or (iii) of this paragraph
(c), the Company will execute and the Trustee or an agent thereof will
authenticate and deliver individual Definitive Securities in registered form in
authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a
Global Security for individual Definitive Securities, such Global Securities
shall be cancelled by the Trustee or an agent thereof. Except as provided in
(iii) above, Definitive Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security
pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct either the Trustee or the Registrar. Such Trustee or the Registrar
shall deliver such Definitive Securities to the Persons in whose names such
Securities are so registered.

The notice shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:

Company, depositary or Paying Agent, as the case may be,
receives, not later than the expiration of the Asset Sale Offer
Period, or such longer period as may be required by law, a
telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth
the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security the
Holder delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is
withdrawing his election to have the Security purchased;
(8) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Securities surrendered
by Holders exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Securities
offered to be purchased, the Trustee shall select the Securities

appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in
denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof shall be

-15-

Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in Section 3.3(a) or 3.3(b).
SECTION 3.4 EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION
Once notice of redemption under Section 3.7 is mailed, Securities called
for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the redemption
price. However, if a redemption date is on or before an Interest Payment Date
and on or after the related record date, any interest accrued and unpaid to the
redemption date shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date to the person in
whose name the Security is registered at the close of business on such record
date and the only remaining right of the Holders of Securities called for
redemption shall be to receive the redemption price (excluding such interest)
upon surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent.
SECTION 3.5 DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE OR PURCHASE PRICE
One Business Day prior to the redemption date or the Asset Sale Payment
Date, as the case may be, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with the
Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price or the purchase price
of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed or purchased on that
date. The Trustee or the Paying Agent shall return to the Company any money not
required for that purpose.
If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, interest on the
Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed or purchased (in the case of a
redemption, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment) will cease
to accrue on the applicable redemption date or Asset Sale Payment Date, as the
case may be. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender, or if any Security to be purchased shall not be so paid on the Asset
Sale Payment Date, because of the failure of the Company to comply with the
preceding paragraph, then interest will be paid on the unpaid principal from the
redemption date or the Asset Sale Payment Date, as the case may be, until such
principal is paid and on any interest not paid on such unpaid principal, in each
case, at the rate provided in the Securities and in Section 4.1.
SECTION 3.6 SECURITIES REDEEMED OR PURCHASED IN PART
Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed or purchased in
part, the Company shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder
at the expense of the Company a new Security equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed portion or the portion not purchased of the Security surrendered.
SECTION 3.7 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION

SECTION 3.8 ASSET SALE OFFER
If the Company determines to make an Asset Sale Offer, the Company shall
promptly mail (with notice to the Trustee) or shall cause the Trustee to
promptly mail (in the Company's name and at its expense) notice of an Asset Sale
Offer to each Holder of Securities as set forth in Section 3.3(b). The Asset
Sale Offer shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of such mailing and
shall terminate 30 days after its commencement unless a longer offering period
is required by law (the "Asset Sale Offer Period"). On or prior to the fifth
Business Day following the termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the
"Asset Sale Payment Date"), the Company shall purchase, or cause the Trustee to
purchase, and mail or deliver payment for, as selected by lot (with such
adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities
in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof shall be purchased),
from Holders tendering their Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, the
amount of Securities required to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.8. If the
Asset Sale Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or
before the related interest payment date, any accrued interest will be paid to
the person in whose name a Security is registered at the close of business on
such record date, and no additional interest will be payable to Holders who
tender Securities pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer. Any Asset Sale Offer shall
be conducted in compliance with applicable tender offer rules, including Section
14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1 thereunder.
On or before any Asset Sale Payment Date, the Company, to the extent
lawful, shall (i) accept for payment, as selected by lot (with such adjustments
as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in
denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof shall be purchased),
Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer, (ii)
if the Company appoints a depositary or Paying Agent, deposit with such
depositary or Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price (including
all accrued interest on the purchased Securities) of all Securities or portions
thereof so accepted, (iii) deliver or cause the depositary or Paying Agent to
deliver to the Trustee Securities so accepted and (iv) deliver an Officers'
Certificate identifying the Securities or portions thereof accepted for payment
by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.8. The depositary,
the Paying Agent or the Company, as the case may be, promptly shall mail or
deliver to each tendering Holder an amount equal to the purchase price
(including all accrued interest on the purchased Securities) of the Securities
tendered by such Holder and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the
Trustee promptly shall authenticate and mail or deliver to such Holders a new
Security equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Security
surrendered. Any Securities not so accepted promptly shall be mailed or
delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly
announce the results of the Asset Sale Offer on the Asset Sale Payment Date.
Other than as specifically provided in this Section 3.8, any offer to
purchase Securities pursuant to this Section 3.8 shall be made in accordance
with the other provisions of this Indenture.

observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or
Events of Default of which he may have knowledge and what action the Company is

respect thereto.

American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or (ii) the Company's
independent public accountants do not have in effect a policy, of general
applicability with respect to their clients, that such accountants will not
prepare statements on the subjects specified below, the year-end financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.3 shall be accompanied by a written
statement of the Company's independent public accountants (who shall be a firm
of established national reputation) that
-18-
in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial
statements nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe
that the Company has violated any provisions of Article 4 or 5 or, if any such
violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof,
it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or
indirectly to any Person for any failure to obtain knowledge of any such
violation.
(c) The Company, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, will

such Default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 4.5 CORPORATE EXISTENCE, TAXES, ETC.
Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1, the Company shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its
rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the
Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and the loss thereof is
not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
SECTION 4.6 STAY, EXTENSION AND USURY LAWS
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it
will not at any time insist upon, plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or
take the benefit or advantage of any stay, extension or usury law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the Company's
obligation to pay the Securities; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
insofar as such law applies to the Securities, and covenants that it will not,
by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power,
right or remedy herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power, right or remedy as though no such law has been
enacted.
SECTION 4.7 CHANGE IN CONTROL
(a) Following the occurrence of any Change in Control, each Holder will
have the right, at such Holder's option, to require that the Company purchase (a
"Change in Control Repurchase"), and upon the exercise of such right, the
Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 10.3 hereof, purchase, all
or any part of such Holder's Securities on a date (the "Repurchase Date") that
is no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days after the date on which the
Company gives notice of a Change in Control as provided in (b) below at a
purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the Repurchase
Date.
(b) Within 30 days after any Change in Control, the Company (with notice to
the Trustee), or the Trustee at the Company's request, will mail or cause to be
mailed to all Holders on the date of the Change in Control a notice of the
occurrence of such Change in Control and of the Holders' rights arising as a
result thereof. Such notice, which shall govern the terms of the Change in
Control Repurchase, shall state:
(1) that a Change in Control has occurred and that such Holder has the
right to require the Company to repurchase such Holder's Notes in cash;
(2) the Repurchase Date (which will be no earlier than 30 days nor
later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed);
(3) the purchase price for the repurchase;
(4) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised; and
-19-
(5) the instructions determined by the Company, consistent with this
Section 4.7, that a Holder must follow in order to have its Securities
repurchased.
(c) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the Company
(or a depositary or Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in
the notice referred to in (b) above), on or before the close of business on the
Repurchase Date, the Security or Securities with respect to which the repurchase
right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with the
form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse of each
Security so delivered completed. Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their
election if the Company (or the depositary or Paying Agent designated by the
Company for the purpose of receiving such election) receives, not later than
five Business Days prior to the Repurchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal
amount of the Security or Securities the Holder delivered for purchase and a
statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to the have the Security
or Securities purchased.
(d) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance with
the terms hereof, then subject to Article 10, the Company shall on or promptly
following the Repurchase Date pay or cause to be paid in cash to the Holder
thereof the repurchase price of the Security or Securities as to which the
repurchase right has been exercised. In the event that the repurchase right is
exercised with respect to less than the entire principal amount of a surrendered
Security, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee
shall authenticate for issuance in the name of the Holder a new Security or
Securities in the aggregate principal amount of the unrepurchased portion of
such surrendered security.
(e) If the Repurchase Date is on or before an Interest Payment Date and on
or after the related record date, any interest accrued and unpaid to the
Repurchase Date will be paid to the Person in whose name the Security is
registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional
interest will be payable to Holders who exercise their repurchase right pursuant
to this Section 4.7.
(f) Any Change in Control Repurchase shall be conducted in compliance with
applicable tender offer rules, including Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and
Rule 14(e)(1) thereunder. The Change in Control Repurchase may not be modified
or conditioned by the Company in any manner.
SECTION 4.8 LIMITATIONS ON ASSET SALES
The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to,
consummate any Asset Sale unless (i) the Company or its Subsidiaries receive
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market
value of the assets or Capital Stock included in such Asset Sale (as determined
in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and evidenced by a board resolution) and (ii) not less than 50% of such
consideration is in the form of cash. The Net Proceeds of Asset Sales shall,

any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to such investment; (B) be applied to
the payment of the principal of, and interest on, Senior Indebtedness; (C) be

appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in denominations of $1,000 or
integral multiples thereof shall be purchased), at a purchase price equal to
100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued and
unpaid interest to the date of purchase, in the manner set forth in this
Indenture. Any Asset Sale Offer will be conducted in compliance with applicable
tender offer rules, including Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14e-1

or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, lease, conveyance or
other disposition or assignment is made shall succeed to, and be substituted

Indenture and the Securities.
ARTICLE 6
DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
SECTION 6.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
An "Event of Default" occurs if:
(1) the Company defaults in the payment of the principal of, or any
premium on, any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether at
Stated Maturity, upon redemption, upon acceleration or otherwise;
(2) the Company defaults in the payment of interest on any Security
when the same becomes due and payable and the Default continues for a
period of 30 days (even if such payment is prohibited by Article 10
hereof);
-21-
(3) the Company fails to comply with any of its agreements or
covenants in, or provisions of, the Securities or this Indenture and such
failure continues for the period and after the notice specified below;
(4) any acceleration of the maturity of Indebtedness of the Company or
its Subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of at least $50.0
million or a failure to pay such Indebtedness at its Stated Maturity;
provided that such acceleration or failure to pay is not cured within 10
days after such acceleration or failure to pay;
(5) the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or
within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:
(a) commences a voluntary case,
(b) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
an involuntary case,
(c) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all
or substantially all of its property, or
(d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
or
(6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under
any Bankruptcy Law that:
(a) is for relief against the Company or any of its Significant
Subsidiaries as debtor in an involuntary case,
(b) appoints a Custodian of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries or a Custodian for all or
substantially all of the property of the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries, or
(c) orders the liquidation of the Company or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries,
and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days.
The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator or
similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of a Default unless it has actual
knowledge of such Default or receives written notice of such Default with
specific reference to such Default.
A Default under clause (3) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee
notifies the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the then outstanding Securities notify the Company and the Trustee, of
the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within 45 days after
receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be
remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default."
SECTION 6.2 ACCELERATION
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default with respect to the
Company specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.1) occurs and is continuing,
the Trustee by written notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may declare all Securities to be due and payable
immediately. Upon such declaration the amounts due and payable on the
Securities, as determined in the next succeeding paragraph, shall be due and
payable immediately. If
-22-
an Event of Default with respect to the Company specified in clause (5) or (6)
of Section 6.1 occurs, such an amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately
due and payable without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the then outstanding Securities by written notice to the Trustee may 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 of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or that
resulted from a failure to comply with Section 4.7) have been cured or waived.
In the event that the maturity of the Securities is accelerated pursuant to
this Section 6.2, 100% of the principal amount thereof and premium, if any,
shall become due and payable plus accrued interest to the date of payment plus
interest on defaulted interest to the extent provided herein.
SECTION 6.3 OTHER REMEDIES
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any
available remedy to collect the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of any provision of the
Securities or this Indenture.
The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of
the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or
omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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 6.4 WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or
Event of Default and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on
any Security or in respect of a provision under this Indenture which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security then
outstanding. 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; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other Default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent
thereon.
SECTION 6.5 CONTROL BY MAJORITY
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities may direct the time, method and place of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or
power conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction
that conflicts with law or this Indenture, that the Trustee determines may be
unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability, in each case as determined by the Trustee.
SECTION 6.6 LIMITATIONS ON SUITS
A Holder may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Securities only if:
(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing
Event of Default;
(2) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue
the remedy;
-23-
(3) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory
to the Trustee in its sole discretion against any loss, liability or
expense;
(4) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after
receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and
(5) during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the then outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee
a direction inconsistent with the request.
A Holder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or
to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder.
SECTION 6.7 RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any
Holder of a Security to receive payment and interest on the Security, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, 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.
SECTION 6.8 COLLECTION SUIT BY TRUSTEE
If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or (2) occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust against the Company for the amount of principal,
premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Securities, determined in
accordance with Section 6.2, and interest on overdue principal and premium, if
any, and, to the extent lawful, interest on overdue installments of interest,
and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses
of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
SECTION 6.9 TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM
The Trustee is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Holders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company, its
creditors or its 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 to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event
that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.6. To the
extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.6 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be
denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and
shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities
and other properties which the Holders of the Securities may be entitled to
receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of
reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on
behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders,
vote for the election of a trustee (or similar official) in bankruptcy and may
be a member of the creditors' committee.
SECTION 6.10 PRIORITIES
-24-
If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay
out the money in the following order:
First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.6;
Second: to Holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for
principal, premium, if any, and interest, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities
for principal, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and
Third: to the Company.
The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to
Holders pursuant to this Article.
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 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 suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11
does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section
6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities.
ARTICLE 7
TRUSTEE
SECTION 7.1 DUTIES OF TRUSTEE
(1) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in such exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.
(2) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(a) the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically
set forth in this Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(b) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however,
the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine
whether or not, on their face, they appear to conform to the requirements
of this Indenture.
(3) 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:
(a) this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (2) of this
Section;
-25-
(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by a Trust Officer, unless it is proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(c) 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 6.5.
(4) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this
Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (1),
(2), (3) and (5) of this Section 7.1.
(5) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or incur any liability. The Trustee may refuse to perform any
duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to
it against any loss, liability or expense.
(6) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by
it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.
SECTION 7.2 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE
(1) Subject to Section 7.1, the Trustee may rely on any document believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper Person,
and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.
(2) 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 and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall
be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon.
(3) The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the
misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.
(4) 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.
(5) Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand,
request, direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by
an Officer of the Company.
SECTION 7.3 INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any of its
Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent
may do the same with like rights.
SECTION 7.4 TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this
Indenture or the Securities or as to the Company's ability to pay the Securities
when and as due or perform its other obligations hereunder. It shall not be
accountable for the Company's use of the proceeds from the Securities or any
money paid to the Company or upon the Company's direction under any provision
hereof. It shall not be responsible for the use or application of any
-26-
money received by any Paying Agent other than the Trustee. It shall not be
responsible for any statement or recital herein or any statement in the
Securities other than its certificate of authentication.
SECTION 7.5 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS
If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is
known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default
or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a
Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on any Security or that resulted from a failure by the Company to
comply with Section 4.7, the Trustee may withhold the notice if it in good faith
determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders.
SECTION 7.6 COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY
The Company 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 Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon
request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred by it.
Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and
expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.
The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, its employees, officers, directors
and agents and any predecessor Trustee hereunder against any loss, liability or
expense incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of its duties under this Indenture or in connection with
enforcing this indemnification provision, except as set forth in the next
paragraph. The Trustee promptly shall notify the Company of any claim for which
it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not
pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or
liability incurred by the Trustee through negligence or bad faith.
To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section 7.6, the
Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held
or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on particular Securities. 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 6.1(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 7.7 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 and be discharged from the trust hereby created by
so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
then outstanding Securities may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee
and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee if:
(1) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 310(b) of the TIA;
-27-
(2) 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;
(3) a Custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its
property; or
(4) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting.
If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office
of Trustee for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee.
If a successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the
Holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee.
If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 310 of the TIA, any Holder 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 Company. 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 its succession to Holders. The retiring
Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.6.
Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.7, the
Company's obligations under Section 7.6 shall continue for the benefit of the
retiring Trustee.
SECTION 7.8 SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC.
Subject to Section 7.9, if the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts
into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to,
another corporation, the successor corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee.
SECTION 7.9 ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a bank or
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trustee power, shall be subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state (or the District of Columbia) authority and
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 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 ss. 310(a)(1) and 310(a)(2). The Trustee is subject to TIA ss. 310(b). If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 7.7.
ARTICLE 8
DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE
SECTION 8.1 TERMINATION OF COMPANY'S OBLIGATIONS
-28-
(a) This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except that the
Company's obligations under Section 7.6 and the Trustee's and Paying Agent's
obligations under Section 8.3 shall survive) when all outstanding Securities
theretofore authenticated and issued have been delivered (other than destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or paid) to the Trustee for
cancellation and the Company has paid all sums payable hereunder. In addition,
the Company may elect to have either paragraph (b) or paragraph (c) below be
applied to the outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set
forth in paragraph (d).
(b) Upon the Company's exercise under paragraph (a) of the option
applicable to this paragraph (b), the Company shall be deemed to have been
released and discharged from its obligations with respect to the outstanding
Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "legal defeasance"). For this purpose, such legal defeasance means
that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
indebtedness represented by the outstanding Securities, which shall thereafter
be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of the Sections of and
matters under this Indenture referred to in (i) and (ii) below, and to have
satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture
insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for
the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive solely
from the trust fund described in paragraph (d) below and as more fully set forth
in such paragraph, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (ii) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 4.2,
and, with respect to the Trustee, under Section 7.6, (iii) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section
8.1. Subject to compliance with this Section 8.1, the Company may exercise its
option under this paragraph (b) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under paragraph (c) below with respect to the Securities.
(c) Upon the Company's exercise under paragraph (a) of the option
applicable to this paragraph (c), the Company shall be released and discharged
from its obligations under any covenant contained in Article 5 and in Section
4.3, 4.4 and 4.6 through 4.8 with respect to the outstanding Securities on and
after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
"covenant defeasance"), and the Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not
"outstanding" for the purpose 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 the 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 any 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 6.1, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and
such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
(d) The following shall be the conditions to the application of either
paragraph (b) or (c) above to the outstanding Securities:
(1) the Company has irrevocably deposited in trust with the Trustee
or, at the option of the Trustee, with a trustee satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Company under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement
in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion,
money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption
(in the opinion of a nationally recognized accounting firm of independent
certified public accountants expressed in a written certificate delivered
to the Trustee) and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder; provided
that (i) the trustee of the irrevocable trust shall have been irrevocably
instructed to pay such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government
Obligations to the Trustee and (ii) the Trustee shall have been irrevocably
instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such U.S. Government
Obligations to the payment of said principal, premium, if any, and interest
with respect to the Securities;
-29-
(2) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
stating that (A) all conditions precedent provided for relating to either
the legal defeasance under paragraph (b) above or the covenant defeasance
under paragraph (c) above, as the case may be, have been complied with and
(B) if any other Indebtedness of the Company shall then be outstanding or
committed, such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance will not violate
the provisions of the agreements or instruments evidencing such
Indebtedness; and
(3) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit;
(4) the Trustee shall not have received notice from any holder of Bank
Debt or any holder of Senior Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount
in excess of $20 million that such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance
would violate the provisions of the agreements or instruments evidencing
such Senior Indebtedness;
(5) such legal defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default or event of default under,
this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound;
(6) in the case of an election under paragraph (b) above, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from nationally
recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Company
has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling, (y) there exists controlling precedent, or (z) since the
date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in any case to the effect that the Holders of the
outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such legal defeasance and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and
at the same time as would have been the case if such legal defeasance had
not occurred; and
(7) in the case of an election under paragraph (c) above, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from nationally
recognized counsel acceptable to the Trustee (i) to the effect that the
Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount and
in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such
covenant defeasance had not occurred or (ii) that the Company has received
from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling
to the foregoing effect.
After such irrevocable deposit made pursuant to this Section 8.1 and
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth herein, the Trustee upon request
shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of the Company's obligations under
this Indenture except for those surviving obligations specified above.
The Company may make an irrevocable deposit pursuant to this Section 8.1
only if at such time it is not prohibited from doing so under the provisions of
Article 10 and the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee and any Paying
Agent an Officers' Certificate to that effect.
In order to have money available on a payment date to pay principal,
premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, the U.S. Government Obligations
shall be payable as to principal, premium, if any, or interest on or before such
payment date in such amounts as will provide the necessary money to effect the
applicable defeasance. U.S. Government Obligations shall not be callable at the
issuer's option.
-30-
SECTION 8.2 APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY
The Trustee or a trustee satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall
hold in trust money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited with it pursuant to
Section 8.1. It shall apply the deposited money and the money from U.S.
Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this
Indenture to the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities.
SECTION 8.3 REPAYMENT TO THE COMPANY
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon
written request any excess money or securities held by them at any time.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company at their option
or upon written request any money held by them for the payment of principal,
premium, if any, or interest that remains unclaimed for two years after the date
upon which such payment shall have become due; provided, however, that the
Company shall have either caused notice of such payment to be mailed to each
Holder entitled thereto no less than 30 days prior to such repayment or within
such period shall have published such notice in a financial newspaper of
widespread circulation published in The City of New York. After payment to the
Company, Holders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as
general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property law designates another
Person, and all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to
such money shall cease.
SECTION 8.4 REINSTATEMENT
If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or U.S.
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1 by reason of any legal
proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.1 until
such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money or
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.1; provided, however,
that if the Company has made any payment of premium, if any, or interest on or
principal of any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government Obligations held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE 9
AMENDMENTS
SECTION 9.1 WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS
The Company and the Trustee may amend this Indenture or the Securities or
waive any provision hereof without the consent of any Holder:
(1) to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;
(2) to comply with Section 5.1;
(3) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by
a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities;
-31-
sss
(4) to make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights
hereunder of any Holder; or
(5) to comply with a provision or provisions of the TIA applicable to this
Indenture.
Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution of the Board
of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 9.6, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any supplemental
indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and make any
further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained,
but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any supplemental indenture
that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise. After an amendment or waiver under this Section becomes effective,
the Company shall mail to the Holders of each Security affected thereby a notice
briefly describing the amendment or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
SECTION 9.2 WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS
Except as provided in this Section 9.2, the Company and the Trustee may
amend this Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders
of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities.
Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a resolution of the Board
of Directors authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section
9.6, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such
supplemental indenture unless such 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 supplemental indenture.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section
to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall
be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding may waive compliance in a particular instance by the Company with
any provision of this Indenture or the Securities. However, without the consent
of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this Section may not:
(1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of
interest on, any Security;
(2) reduce the principal amount of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
any Security;
(3) modify the provisions of Article 10 hereof in a manner adverse to the
Holders;
(4) change the place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which,
any Security or any premium or interest thereon is payable;
(5) adversely affect the right of Holders to require the Company to
repurchase Securities pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof or modify the
obligations of the Company to make an Asset Sale Offer in accordance
with Sections 4.8 and 3.8 or modify the redemption provisions of
Section 3.7;
-32-
(6) impair the right of Holders to institute suit for the enforcement of
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
Securities on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or in the case of
redemption, on or after the redemption date);
(7) reduce the percentage in principal amount of Securities, the consent
of whose Holders is required for any modification or amendment of the
Indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver
of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
Defaults or Events of Default hereunder and their consequences
provided for in this Indenture; or
(8) modify any of the provisions of Section 6.4 or this sentence of this
Section 9.2.
The right of any Holder to participate in any consent required or sought
pursuant to any provision of this Indenture (and the obligation of the Company
to obtain any such consent otherwise required from such Holder) may be subject
to the requirement that such Holder shall have been the Holder of record of any
Securities with respect to which such consent is required or sought as of a date
identified by the Trustee in a notice furnished to Holders in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture.
SECTION 9.3 COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT
Every amendment to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply in form
and substance with the TIA as then in effect.
SECTION 9.4 REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS
Until an amendment (which includes any supplement) or waiver becomes
effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by
the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security
that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if
notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder
may revoke the consent as to his or her Security or portion of a Security if the
Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the amendment or
waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance
with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder of a Security whether
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered.
The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment or
waiver. If the Company elects to fix a record date for such purpose, 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 furnished to the
Trustee prior to such solicitation, or (ii) such other date as the Company shall
designate. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the
immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were Holders at such record
date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be
entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent
previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be Holders after such
record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after
such record date unless consents from Holders of the principal amount of
Securities required hereunder for such amendment or waiver to be effective shall
have also been given and not revoked within such 90-day period.
SECTION 9.5 NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver
on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for the
Securities may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities that
reflect the amendment or waiver.
SECTION 9.6 TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC.
-33-
The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized
pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment does not adversely affect the
rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the
Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing or refusing to sign such
amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
and, subject to Section 7.1 and 7.2 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 Company in accordance with its terms.
ARTICLE 10
SUBORDINATION
SECTION 10.1 SECURITIES SUBORDINATED TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS
The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his
acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in
the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article 10, the indebtedness
represented by the Securities and all Payments or Distributions in Respect of
the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
If at any time following the payment of any amount to a holder of Senior
Indebtedness with respect to such Senior Indebtedness, such payment is rescinded
or must otherwise be returned by such holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
reorganization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any other Person or
otherwise, and is so rescinded or returned to the party or parties making such
payment, such Senior Indebtedness shall be reinstated to the extent of such
payment and the provisions of this Article 10 shall be applicable as if such
payment were never made.
The provisions of this Article 10 are for the benefit of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, and each Holder of the Securities, by his purchase or other
acquisition of the Securities, hereby agrees for the benefit of each holder of
Senior Indebtedness that his Securities are subject to the provisions of this
Article 10.
SECTION 10.2 PAYMENT OVER OF PROCEEDS UPON DISSOLUTION, ETC.
In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any
receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding,
relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to a substantial part
of its assets, or (b) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other
winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not
involving insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company,
then and in any such event the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled
to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect
of all Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Allowed and
Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses), or provision shall be made
for such payment in cash or in a manner otherwise satisfactory to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to
receive any Payment or Distribution in Respect of the Securities (other than
payments of amounts deposited prior to any such case, proceeding, dissolution or
other winding up or event in accordance with the defeasance provisions of
Article 8 hereof), and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities,
including any such payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable
by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being
subordinated to the payment of the Securities, which may be payable or
deliverable in respect of the Securities in any such case, proceeding,
dissolution, liquidation or other winding up or event.
-34-
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any
Payment or Distribution in Respect of the Securities in any such case,
proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up or event (other than
payments of amounts deposited prior to any such case, proceeding, dissolution or
other winding up or event in accordance with the defeasance provisions of
Article 8 hereof), including any such payment or distribution which may be
payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the
Company being subordinated to the payment of the Securities, before all Senior
Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Allowed and Disallowed
Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses) is paid in full or payment thereof
provided for, and, if (i) subject to Section 10.8, such fact shall, at or prior
to the time of such payment or distribution, have been made known to the
Trustee, then and in such event such payment or distribution shall be paid over
or delivered forthwith to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to a
representative duly appointed by any such holder or holders of Senior
Indebtedness unless otherwise required by law or court order or (ii) such fact
shall have been made known to such Holder at any time before or after such
payment, then and in such event such Holder shall forthwith pay over and deliver
such payment to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to a representative duly
appointed by any such holder or holders of such Senior Indebtedness unless
otherwise required by law or court order, in either such case for application to
the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary
to pay all Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Allowed and
Disallowed Post- Commencement Interest and Expenses) in full, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness.
The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company into,
another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the
conveyance or transfer of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety
to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 5 shall not
be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for
the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company
for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or
into which the Company is merged or which acquires by conveyance or transfer
such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be,
shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, comply
with the conditions set forth in Article 5.
SECTION 10.3 PRIOR PAYMENT TO SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS UPON ACCELERATION OF
SECURITIES
In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before their
Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of Senior Indebtedness
outstanding at the time such Securities so become due and payable shall be
entitled to receive payment in full in cash, or in a manner otherwise
satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, of all amounts due on or in
respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Allowed
and Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses) before the Holders of
the Securities are entitled to receive any Payment or Distribution in Respect of
the Securities (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the
payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the
payment of the Securities), other than payment of amounts previously deposited
in accordance with the defeasance provisions of Article 8 hereof, by or for the
account of the Company.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall make
any Payment or Distribution in Respect of the Securities to the Trustee or the
Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section,
then if (i) subject to Section 10.8, such fact shall, prior to the time of such
payment, have been made known to the Trustee, then and in such event the Trustee
shall forthwith pay over and deliver such payment to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness or to a representative duly appointed by any such holder or holders
of such Senior Indebtedness or (ii) such fact shall have been made known to such
Holder at any time before or after such payment, then and in such event such
Holder shall forthwith pay over and deliver such payment to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness or to a representative duly appointed by any such holder or
holders of such Senior Indebtedness, in either such case for application to the
payment of all Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid (including, without
limitation, all Allowed and Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses),
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
benefit of holders of Senior Indebtedness.

The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect
to which Section 10.2 is applicable.
SECTION 10.4 NO PAYMENT UPON CERTAIN DEFAULTS WITH RESPECT TO SENIOR
INDEBTEDNESS
(a) No Payment or Distribution in Respect of the Securities (other than
payments of amounts previously deposited in accordance with the defeasance
provisions of Article 8 hereof) shall be made by or for the account of the
Company upon the occurrence of any default in the payment of any Bank Debt or
any Senior Indebtedness (other than Bank Debt) in excess of $20 million beyond
any applicable grace period, unless and until such default is cured or waived or
ceases to exist or such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full or provision
for such payment in cash or in a manner otherwise satisfactory to holders of
Senior Indebtedness has been made.
(b) Upon any default with respect to the financial covenants under the
Credit Agreement as specified therein, or if any payment or distribution by the
Company with respect to any Security would, immediately after giving effect
thereto, result in such default, no Payment or Distribution in Respect of the
Securities (other than payments of amounts previously deposited in accordance
with the defeasance provisions of Article 8 hereof), including any payment which
may be payable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness being
subordinated to the payment of the Securities, shall be made by or for the
account of the Company on account of principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities or on account of the purchase, redemption or other
acquisition of the Securities for the period specified below (the "Payment
Blockage Period"). The Payment Blockage Period shall commence upon the receipt
of notice by the Company or the Trustee from the Bank Agent and shall end on the
earlier of (i) 179 days thereafter, (ii) the date on which such default with
respect to the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement is cured or waived
or ceases to exist or on which such Bank Debt is paid in full or provision for
such payment in money or money's worth has been made, (iii) the date on which
the maturity of any Indebtedness (other than Senior Indebtedness) shall have
been accelerated by virtue of such event, or (iv) the date on which such Payment
Blockage Period shall have been terminated by notice to the Company or the
Trustee from the Bank Agent, after which any and all required payments in
respect of the Securities, including any missed payments, may resume. Only one
Payment Blockage Period may be commenced during any period of 365 consecutive
days. No default with respect to the financial covenants under the Credit
Agreement that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any
Payment Blockage Period will be, or can be, made the basis for the commencement
of a second Payment Blockage Period whether or not within a period of 365
consecutive days, unless such default has been cured or waived for a period of
not less than 90 consecutive days. In no event will a Payment Blockage Period
extend beyond 179 days.
(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section, then (i) subject to Section 10.8, if such
fact shall, at or prior to the time of such payment, have been made known to the
Trustee, then and in such event the Trustee shall forthwith pay over and deliver
such payment to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to a representative duly
appointed by any such holder or holders of such Senior Indebtedness or (ii) such
fact shall have been made known to such Holder at any time before or after such
payment, then and in such event such Holder shall forthwith pay over and deliver
such payment to the holders of Senior Indebtedness or to a representative duly
appointed by any such holder or holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect
to which Section 10.2 is applicable.
SECTION 10.5 PAYMENT PERMITTED IF NO DEFAULT
Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any
of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the
pendency of any case, proceeding, dissolution, liquidation or other winding up,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets and
liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 10.2 or under the conditions
described in Section 10.3 or Section 10.4, from making any Payment or
-36-
Distribution in Respect of the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee
of any money deposited with it hereunder with respect to any Payment or
Distribution in Respect of the Securities or the retention of such Payment or
Distribution in Respect of the Securities by the Holders, if, at the time of
such application by the Trustee, it had not been notified in accordance with
Section 10.8 that such payment was prohibited by the provisions of this Article
10.
SECTION 10.6 SUBROGATION TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS
Subject to the payment in full in cash of all amounts due on or in respect
of Senior Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Allowed and
Disallowed Post-Commencement Interest and Expenses, except to the extent
provided below), the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent
of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 (equally and ratably with the
holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is
subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same
extent as the Securities are subordinated and are entitled to like rights of
subrogation) to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive
payments and distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the
Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on
the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no
payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash,
property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee
would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 10, and no payments
over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the
Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders
of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to
or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.6, the Holders
of the Securities hereby agree that they shall have no rights of subrogation
with respect to amounts paid to the holders of Senior Indebtedness in payment of
any interest, reimbursements, costs, expenses or indemnities that are not
allowed claims enforceable against the Company in a case or proceeding under
Bankruptcy Law.
SECTION 10.7 PROVISIONS SOLELY TO DEFINE RELATIVE RIGHTS
The provisions of this Article 10 are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the
one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing
contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation
of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of
the Securities the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the
Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of
Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 10 of
the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder. The failure to
make a payment on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, or
any other amounts then payable with respect to, the Securities by any reason of
this Article 10 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event
of Default under Section 6.1.
SECTION 10.8 APPLICATION BY TRUSTEE OF MONIES DEPOSITED WITH IT
Money and U.S. Government Obligations deposited in trust with the Trustee
pursuant to Section 8.2 and in compliance with Section 8.1 shall be for the sole
benefit of the Holders and, to the extent allocated for the payment of
Securities, shall not be subject to the subordination provisions of this Article
10. Otherwise, any deposit of monies by the Company with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent (whether or not in trust) for payment on account of principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Securities or that otherwise constitutes a
Payment or Distribution in Respect of the Securities shall be subject to the
provisions of Sections 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4 except that, if at least
-37-
three Business Days prior to the date on which by the terms of this Indenture
any such monies may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or the interest on
any Security) the Trustee shall not have received with respect to such monies
the notice provided for in Section 10.4(b) or 10.11, then the Trustee shall have
full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the same to the
purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary which may be received by it within three Business Days of such
date. This Section shall be construed solely for the benefit of the Trustee and
Paying Agent and shall not otherwise affect the rights of holders of Senior
Indebtedness.
SECTION 10.9 TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION
Each holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs
the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate
to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and appoints the
Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 10.10 NO WAIVER OF SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to
enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without
the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities,
without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without
impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter,
compromise, accelerate, extend or refinance Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise
amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness is
outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release, foreclose upon or otherwise deal with
any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii)
release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior
Indebtedness; (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the
Company and any other Person; (v) increase or reduce the rate of interest or
amount of principal payable on any Senior Indebtedness; (vi) release or
discharge the Company, by acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of
foreclosure or otherwise, as to all or any portion of the Senior Indebtedness;
or (vii) release, substitute or add any one or more guarantors or endorsers,
accept additional or substituted security for payment or performance of the
Senior Indebtedness, or release or subordinate any security therefor. No
exercise, delay in exercise or failure to exercise by any holder of any Senior
Indebtedness of any right hereby given it, no dealing by any holder of any
Senior Indebtedness with the Company or any other guarantor, endorser or other
person, no change, impairment or suspension of any right or remedy of any holder
of any Senior Indebtedness, and no act or thing which but for this provision
could act as a release or exoneration of the Holders of the Securities
hereunder, shall in any way affect, decrease, diminish or impair any of the
obligations of the Holders of the Securities and the Trustee or give to the
Holders of the Securities, the Trustee or any other person or entity any
recourse or defense against any holder of any Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 10.11 NOTICE TO TRUSTEE
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact
known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or a holder of
-38-
Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee or other representative therefor; and,
prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the
provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, shall be entitled in all respects to assume
that no such facts exist.
Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines
in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article 10, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 10, and if such
evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment.
SECTION 10.12 RELIANCE ON JUDICIAL ORDER OR CERTIFICATE OF LIQUIDATING AGENT
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in
this Article 10, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.2,
and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or
decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up
or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article
10.
SECTION 10.13 TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in
good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the
Company or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 10 or otherwise.
SECTION 10.14 RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS HOLDER OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS; PRESERVATION
OF TRUSTEE'S RIGHTS
The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights
set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at
any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of
its rights as such holder.

A-1
10 3/4% SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2004
1. INTEREST. INTERGRATED HEALTH SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at
10 3/4% per annum from the date this Security is issued until maturity. The
Company will pay interest semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year,
or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day
(each an "Interest Payment Date"). Interest on the Securities will accrue from
the most recent date on which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been
paid, from the date of issuance; provided, that if there is no existing Default
in the payment of interest, and if this Security is authenticated between a
record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment
Date; provided, further, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be January
15, 1995. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will pay interest on the Securities
(except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of
Securities at the close of business on the record date next preceding the
Interest Payment Date, even if such Securities are canceled after such record
date and on or before such Interest Payment Date. In the case of a Security
which is called for redemption on a redemption date, or to be repurchased by the
Company in connection with a Change in Control Repurchase pursuant to paragraph
6 or an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Paragraph 7, on or after an interest
payment record date and prior to the next Interest Payment Date, the registered
holder of such Security as of such record date shall be entitled to accrued and
unpaid interest to the redemption date or repurchase date, as the case may be,
as provided in paragraphs 5, 6 and 7 below. The Holder must surrender this
Security to a Paying Agent to collect principal payments. The Company will pay
the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities in money of
the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. The Company, however, may pay such amounts
by check payable in such money mailed to a Holder's registered address.
3. PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, Signet Trust Company, the Trustee
under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may
change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar without notice to any Holder.
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity.
4. INDENTURE. The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as
of July 1, 1994, as subsquently supplemented by a Supplemental Indenture dated
as of June 13, 1996 and amended and restated by an Amended and Restated
Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 15, 1997 ("Indenture") between the
Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities 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. Code xx.xx. 77aaa-77bbbb), as in
effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. The Securities are subject to
all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a
statement of such terms. The Securities are unsecured general obligations of the
Company limited to $100,000,000 in aggregate principal amount, plus amounts, if
any, sufficient to pay interest on outstanding Securities as set forth in
Paragraph 2 hereof.
5. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. The Company may redeem all or any of the Securities
at any time on or after July 15, 1999 at the following redemption prices
(expressed as percentages of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest
to the redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning:
A-2
Optional
Year Redemption Price
---- ----------------
July 15, 1999 105.375%
July 15, 2000 103.583%
July 15, 2001 101.792%
July 15, 2002 and thereafter 100%
6. RIGHT TO REQUIRE REPURCHASE. Following the occurrence of any Change in
Control, each Holder will have the right to require that the Company repurchase
(a "Change in Control Repurchase") such Holder's Securities at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities, plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of repurchase. Within 30 days
after any Change in Control, the Company or, at the Company's request, the
Trustee, shall cause to be mailed a notice to all Holders notifying such Holders
of the occurrence of such Change in Control, the Holder's rights arising as a
result thereof and the procedures to be followed by Holders wishing to exercise
such rights.
A Holder of Securities may exercise the right to require a Change in
Control Repurchase after receipt of notice of the existence of such right by
completing the form entitled "OPTION OF HOLDER TO ELECT PURCHASE" appearing on
this Security and by complying with the other procedures set forth in such
notice. Any portion of Securities with respect to which the Holder wishes to
exercise such right must be in integral multiples of $1,000.
7. MANDATORY OFFER TO REPURCHASE. If the Company consummates any Asset Sale
(as such term is defined in the Indenture), the Company will, under certain
circumstances, be required to utilize a portion of the net proceeds received
from such Asset Sale to offer to purchase Securities at a purchase price equal
to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities plus accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption (the "Asset Sale Offer"). Holders of
Securities that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset
Sale Offer from the Company or the Trustee. The Asset Sale Offer shall remain
open for a period of 30 days after its commencement unless a longer offering
period is required by law (the "Asset Sale Offer Period"). On or prior to the
fifth Business Day following the termination of the Asset Sale Offer Period (the
"Asset Sale Payment Date"), the Company shall purchase, or cause the Trustee to
purchase, and mail or deliver payment for the amount of Securities required to
be purchased pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer or, if less than the amount of
Securities required to be purchased pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer has been
tendered, all Securities tendered in response to the Asset Sale Offer.
A Holder of Securities may tender or refrain from tendering all or any
portion of his Securities at his discretion by completing the form entitled
"OPTION OF HOLDER TO ELECT PURCHASE" appearing on this Security. Any portion of
Securities tendered must be in integral multiples of $1,000.
8. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION. Notice of Redemption will be mailed at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. Securities in denominations
larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole multiples of
$1,000, unless all of the Securities held by a Holder are to be redeemed. On and
after the redemption date interest ceases to accrue on Securities or portions
thereof called for redemption.
9. SUBORDINATION. The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the
extent provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to
the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the
Indenture), and this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the
Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of this Security, by accepting the
same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and

or premium, if any, or interest on, any Security, (iii) modify the subordination
provisions of the Indenture in a manner adverse to the Holders, (iv) change the
place of payment where, or the coin or currency in which, any Security or any
premium or interest thereon is payable, (v) adversely affect the right of

the obligations of the Company to make an Asset Sale Offer or modify the
redemption provisions of the Indenture, (vi) impair the right of a Holder to
institute suit for the enforcement of payment of the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or
in the case of a redemption, on or after the redemption date) or (vii) reduce
the percentage in principal amount of Securities the consent of whose Holders is
required for any modification or amendment of the Indenture, or the consent of
whose Holders is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions
of the Indenture or certain Defaults or Events of Default thereunder.

payment of principal or premium on the Securities; (ii) default in payment of
interest on the Securities for 30 days; (iii) failure by the Company for 45 days
after notice to it to comply with any of its other agreements in the Indenture
or the Securities; (iv) any acceleration of Indebtedness of the Company or its
Subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of $50 million or a failure
to pay such Indebtedness at its stated maturity; and (v) certain events of
bankruptcy or insolvency. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Securities may declare all the Securities to be immediately due and
payable for an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities,
and premium, if any, plus accrued interest to the date of payment, except that
in the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency, all outstanding Securities

become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. Holders may
not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture.
The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the
Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may direct the
Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold from
Holders notice of any continuing default (except a default in payment of
principal or interest or that resulted from the failure of the Company to comply
with its obligations with respect to Holders' rights to require repurchase of
Securities upon a Change in Control) if it determines that withholding notice is
in their interests. The Company must furnish an annual compliance certificate to
the Trustee.
14. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH COMPANY. The Trustee, in its individual or any
other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services
for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or
its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
15. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS. A director, officer, employee or
stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not have any liability for any
obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any
claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and releases all such
