been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or
instrument for which it is substituted. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless
be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits of this Indenture equally and
ratably with all other Outstanding Securities.



     SECTION 1.4. Acts of Holders.



     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given to or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by

action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments (including any appointment of an
agent) is or are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company or the Guarantor. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any
such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company or the Guarantor, if made in the manner provided in this

signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or her the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a Person acting in other than his or her individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his or her authority. The fact and date of the
execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the



- 11 -









 







Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems
sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.



     (c) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Securities Register.



     (d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by
the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of
every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company or the
Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.



     (e) Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled to take any action hereunder with regard
to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such
Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such
appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.



     (f) Except as set forth in paragraph (g) of this Section 1.4, the Company may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled
to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of
Securities. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant
action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date (as
defined in Section 1.4(h)) by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the
Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been
set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and
with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect). Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee
in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.



     (g) The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of
Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default,
(ii) any declaration of acceleration or rescission or annulment thereof referred to in
Section 5.2, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in
Section 5.7(b) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12. If any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date,
and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action
for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record
date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no
effect). Promptly after



- 12 -









 







any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense,
shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the
manner set forth in Section 1.6.



     (h) With respect to any record date set pursuant to paragraph (f) or (g) of this
Section 1.4, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the
“Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day;
provided, that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date
is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set
forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is
not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.4, the party
hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the ninetieth
(90th) day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject
to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the one hundred eightieth (180th) day
after the applicable record date.



     SECTION 1.5. Notices, Etc. to Trustee and Company.



     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, Act of Holders, or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or
filed with:




     (i) The Trustee by any Holder, the Company or the Guarantor shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with and
received by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or




     (ii) The Company or the Guarantor by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to the
Company addressed to it at 333 Earle Ovington Blvd., Suite 900, Uniondale, NY 11553,
Attention: John Natalone and Attn: Chief Financial Officer, or at any other address
previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company and/or the Guarantor, as
applicable.



     (b) The Trustee may, but is not required to, rely upon and comply with instructions and
directions sent by email or facsimile, (or any other reasonable means of communication) by persons
believed by the Trustee in good faith to be authorized to provide such instructions or direction;
provided, however, that the Trustee may require such additional evidence, confirmation or
certification from any such party or parties as the Trustee, in its reasonable discretion, deems
necessary or advisable before acting or refraining from acting upon any such instruction or
direction.



     (c) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this
Agreement sent by unsecured email, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic
methods; provided, however, that any Person providing such instructions or directions shall provide
to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which incumbency
certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the



- 13 -









 







listing. If such Person elects to give the Trustee email or facsimile instructions (or
instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon
such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly
from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such
instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Each Person
providing instructions or directions to the Trustee hereunder agrees to assume all risks arising
out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee,
including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting, in good faith, on unauthorized
instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.



     SECTION 1.6. Notice to Holders; Waiver.



     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first
class, postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event to the address of such Holder as it
appears in the Securities Register, not later than the latest date, (if any) and not earlier than
the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. If, by reason of the
suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or for any other reason, it shall be
impossible or impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders when said notice is required to
be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. In
any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or
after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by
Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.



     SECTION 1.7. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.



     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction of this Indenture.



     SECTION 1.8. Successors and Assigns.

Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee, including any successor by operation of law. Except in
connection with a transaction involving the Company that is permitted under Article VIII
and pursuant to which the assignee agrees in writing to perform the Company’s obligations
hereunder, the Company shall not assign its obligations hereunder.



     SECTION 1.9. Separability Clause.



     If any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in



- 14 -









 







any way be affected or impaired thereby, and there shall be deemed substituted for the
provision at issue a valid, legal and enforceable provision as similar as possible to the provision
at issue.



     SECTION 1.10. Benefits of Indenture.



     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors and assigns, the holders of Senior Debt and the
Holders of the Securities any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.



     SECTION 1.11. Governing Law.



     This Indenture and the rights and obligations of each of the Holders, the Company, the
Guarantor and the Trustee shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of New York without reference to its conflict of laws provisions (other than
Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).



     SECTION 1.12. Submission to Jurisdiction.



     ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO OR WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING
OUT OF THIS INDENTURE MAY BE BROUGHT IN OR REMOVED TO THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, IN AND

YORK (IN EACH CASE SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN). BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
INDENTURE, EACH PARTY ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS (AND COURTS OF APPEALS THEREFROM) FOR
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS INDENTURE.



     SECTION 1.13. Non-Business Days.



     If any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be
a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities)
payment of interest, premium, if any, or principal or other amounts in respect of such Security
shall not be made on such date, but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day (and no
interest shall accrue in respect of the amounts whose payment is so delayed for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, until
such next succeeding Business Day) except that, if such Business Day falls in the next succeeding
calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case
with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date or at the
Stated Maturity.



     SECTION 1.14. Shareholder Communications Act.



     (a) With respect to securities under and as defined in the Shareholders Communications Act of
1985 (the “SCA”) issued in the United States, the SCA requires the



- 15 -









 







Trustee to disclose to the issuers, upon their request, the name, address and securities
position of its customers who are (i) the “beneficial owners” (as defined in the SCA) of the
issuer’s securities if the beneficial owner does not object to such disclosure, or (ii) acting as a
“respondent bank” (as defined in the SCA) with respect to the securities. Under the SCA,
“respondent banks” do not have the option of objecting to such disclosure upon the issuers’
request. The SCA defines a “beneficial owner” as any person who has, or shares, the power to vote
a security (pursuant to an agreement or otherwise), or who directs the voting of a security. The
SCA defines a “respondent bank” as any bank, association or other entity that exercises fiduciary
powers which holds securities on behalf of beneficial owners and deposits such securities for
safekeeping with a bank, such as Trustee. Under the SCA, each Holder is either the “beneficial
owner” or a “respondent bank.”



     (b) For purposes of this Indenture, until Trustee receives a contrary written instruction from
a Holder, Trustee shall assume that such Holder is the beneficial owner of the Securities.



     (c) For purposes of this Indenture, until Trustee receives a contrary instruction from a
Holder, Trustee shall release the name, address and securities position to the Company, if the
Company requests such information pursuant to the SCA for the specific purpose of direct
communications between the Company and such Holder. With respect to securities issued outside of
the United States, if applicable, information shall be released to issuers only if required by law
or regulation of the particular country in which the securities are located.

provided, further, that any overdue principal, premium, if any, and any overdue installment of
interest shall bear Additional Interest at the Fixed Rate during the Modification Period, and
thereafter at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.43% per annum (in each case, to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), compounded quarterly, from the dates
such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be
payable on demand.



     Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the
respective Interest Payment Dates. During the Modification Period, the amount of interest payable
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the amount payable for
any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. Upon expiration of the Modification Period, the amount of interest
payable for any Interest Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed in the relevant Interest Period. The interest so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall, as provided in the Indenture, be
paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. Any
such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice
whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special
Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice
as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.



     Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on this Security shall be made in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest due at
the Maturity of this Security shall be made at the Place of Payment upon surrender of such
Securities to the Paying Agent, and payments of interest shall be made, subject to such surrender
where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking institution in
the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper written transfer
instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case such payments shall
be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall appear in the Security
Register.



     The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided in the Indenture,
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt, and
this Security is issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each
Holder



- 17 -









 







of this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions,
(b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such actions as may be
necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee
his or her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each Holder hereof, by his or her
acceptance hereof, waives all notice of the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained
herein and in the Indenture by each holder of Senior Debt, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.



     Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose.



[FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY]




     This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (the
“Securities”) issued under the Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated as of May 6, 2009 (the
“Indenture”), between the Company, the Guarantor and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (in such
capacity, the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the
Guarantor, the Trustee, the holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities and of the
terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.



     All terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture. The Company may, on any Interest Payment Date, at its option,
upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Holders
of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) on or after
April 30, 2012, and subject to the terms and conditions of Article XI of the Indenture, redeem this
Security in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a Redemption Price equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such
redemption, with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, through but excluding the
date fixed as the Redemption Date.



     In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Special Event, the Company
may, at its option, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ nor more than sixty (60) days’ written
notice to the Holders of the Securities (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), redeem this Security, in whole but not in part, subject to the terms and conditions
of Article XI of the Indenture at a Redemption Price equal to one hundred seven and one
half percent (107.5%) of the principal amount hereof, together, in the case of any such redemption,
with accrued interest, including any Additional Interest, through but excluding the date fixed as
the Redemption Date.



     In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation
hereof. If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than sixty (60) days prior to the Redemption Date by the



- 18 -









 







Trustee from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption, by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security.



     The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Company, the Guarantor
and the Trustee at any time to enter into a supplemental indenture or indentures for the purpose of
modifying in any manner the rights and obligations of the Company, the Guarantor and of the Holders
of the Securities, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities, on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company or the Guarantor with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof
or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Security.



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium, if any, and interest, including any Additional Interest (to the
extent legally enforceable), on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.



     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the
transfer of this Security is restricted to transfers to “Qualified Purchasers” (as such term is
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), and is registrable in the Securities
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of
the Company maintained for such purpose, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar and duly executed by,
the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Securities, of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.



     The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations
of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof. As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities and of like tenor of a different authorized denomination, as
requested by the Holder surrendering the same.



     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith.



     The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws provisions (other than
Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

ARTICLE III.




THE SECURITIES




     SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest.



     (a) The unpaid principal amount of the Securities shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate during
the Modification Period and thereafter at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 2.43% per annum until paid
or duly provided for, such interest to accrue from the Original Issue Date or from the most recent
Interest Payment Date on and to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, and any overdue
principal, premium, if any, and any overdue installment of interest shall bear Additional Interest
at the Fixed Rate during the Modification Period, and thereafter at a variable rate of LIBOR plus
2.43% per annum, compounded quarterly from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or
funds for the payment thereof are made legally available for payment.



     (b) Interest and Additional Interest on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, except that interest and any Additional Interest payable on
the Stated Maturity (or any date of principal repayment upon early maturity) of the principal of a
Security or on a Redemption Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. The initial
payment of interest on any Security that is issued between a Regular Record Date and the related
Interest Payment Date shall be payable as provided in such Security.



     (c) Any interest on any Security that is due and payable, but is not timely paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities (herein called “Defaulted Interest”)
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date



- 23 -









 







by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company,
at its election in each case, as provided in paragraph (i) or (ii) below:




     (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at
the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest (a
“Special Record Date”), which shall be fixed in the following manner. At least thirty (30)
days prior to the date of the proposed payment, the Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the
date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of
such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest. Thereupon the
Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
shall be not more than fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date
of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice
of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to
be mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security at the address of such
Holder as it appears in the Securities Register not less than ten (10) days prior to such
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to
the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered on such Special Record Date; or




     (ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation
system on which the Securities may be listed, traded or quoted and, upon such notice as may
be required by such exchange or automated quotation system (or by the Trustee if the
Securities are not listed), if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.



     (d) Payments of interest on the Securities shall include interest accrued to but excluding the
respective Interest Payment Dates. During the Modification Period, the amount of interest payable
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the amount payable for
any partial period shall be computed on the basis of the number of days elapsed in a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. Upon expiration of the Modification Period, the amount of interest
payable shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in
the relevant Interest Period.



     (e) Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities shall be made in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for
payment of public and private debts. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and



- 24 -









 







interest due at the Maturity of such Securities shall be made at the Place of Payment upon
surrender of such Securities to the Paying Agent and payments of interest shall be made subject to
such surrender where applicable, by wire transfer at such place and to such account at a banking
institution in the United States as may be designated in writing to the Paying Agent at least ten
(10) Business Days prior to the date for payment by the Person entitled thereto unless proper
written transfer instructions have not been received by the relevant record date, in which case
such payments shall be made by check mailed to the address of such Person as such address shall
appear in the Security Register.



     (f) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Holders of the Securities have certain
rights to direct the Company to modify the Interest Payment Dates and corresponding Redemption Date
and Stated Maturity of the Securities or a portion of the Securities pursuant to the Exchange
Agreement. In the event any such modifications are made to the Securities or a portion of the
Securities, appropriate changes to the form of Security set forth in Article II hereof shall be
made prior to the issuance and authentication of new or replacement Securities. Any such
modification of the Interest Payment Date and corresponding Redemption Date and Stated Maturity
with respect to any Securities or tranche of Securities shall not require or be subject to the
consent of the Trustee. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any such modifications,
which notice shall identify with particularity the necessary changes to the form of security set
forth in Article II. The Company agrees to cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Trustee
and the Holders in connection with any of the foregoing, provided that no action requested of the
Company in connection with such cooperation shall materially increase the obligations or materially
decrease the rights of the Company pursuant to the Securities.



     (g) The Company may, at its option from time to time, upon not less than thirty (30) days
prior written notice to the Trustee and the Holders, elect to terminate the Modification Period.



     (h) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.1, each Security delivered under
this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.



     SECTION 3.2. Denominations.



     The Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in minimum
denominations of $100,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.



     SECTION 3.3. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.



     (a) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities in an aggregate principal amount (including all then Outstanding
Securities) not in excess of Forty Seven Million One Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($47,180,000)
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture



- 25 -









 







in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully
protected in relying upon:




     (i) a copy of any Board Resolution relating thereto; and




     (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that: (1) such Securities, when authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute, and the Indenture
constitutes, valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, each enforceable in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles; (2) the Securities have been
duly authorized and executed by the Company and have been delivered to the Trustee for
authentication in accordance with this Indenture; (3) the Securities are not required to be
registered under the Securities Act; and (4) the Indenture is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act.



     (b) The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board,
its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the
proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.



     (c) No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of
one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such
Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.8, for all purposes of
this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.



     (d) Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.



     SECTION 3.4. Global Securities.



     (a) Upon the election of the Holder after the Original Issue Date, which election need not be
in writing, the Securities owned by such Holder shall be issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee. Each Global Security issued
under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Company
for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof
or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all
purposes of this Indenture.



- 26 -









 





     (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged
in whole or in part for registered Securities, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in
part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Trustee and the Company in
writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Security, and no qualified successor is
appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice,
(ii) such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no
successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of such
event, (iii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that the
Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or (iv) an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in
clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Trustee shall notify the Depositary and instruct the
Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security of the occurrence
of such event and of the availability of Securities to such owners of beneficial interests
requesting the same. The Trustee may conclusively rely, and be protected in relying, upon the
written identification of the owners of beneficial interests furnished by the Depositary, and shall
not be liable for any delay resulting from a delay by the Depositary. Upon the issuance of such
Securities and the registration in the Securities Register of such Securities in the names of the
Holders of the beneficial interests therein, the Trustee shall recognize such holders of beneficial
interests as Holders.



     (c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in part, or if
another Security is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global
Security, then either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation
as provided in this Article III or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or
increased by an amount equal to (x) the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or (y) the
principal amount of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as
the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Securities
Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Depositary Procedures, shall
instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its
records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security by the Depositary, accompanied
by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security
(or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary. The Trustee shall
not be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected in relying on, such instructions.



     (d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be authenticated and
delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in
the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.



     (e) Reserved.



     (f) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the
Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the Securities,



- 27 -









 







and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to
the Applicable Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global
Security shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through,
records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary Participants. The Securities
Registrar and the Trustee shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes of this
Indenture relating to a Global Security (including the payment of principal and interest thereon
and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests therein and the
giving of notices) as the sole Holder of the Security and shall have no obligations to the owners
of beneficial interests therein. Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall have any
liability in respect of any transfers effected by the Depositary.



     (g) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall be exercised only
through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such
owners and the Depositary and/or its Depositary Participants.



     (h) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a
Depositary shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and
such Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. None of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the
Guarantor or the Trustee will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or
maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee
or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a
Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing
the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Security.



     SECTION 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally.



     (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the
“Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities
(the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall
provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The
Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI
shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.



     (b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any
authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.



     (c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any
authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of



- 28 -









 







the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.



     (d) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid
obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.



     (e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.



     (f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.



     (g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 3.5 (g): (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a
period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for
redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the
day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Security
to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.



     (h) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities
may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the
Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office
or agency.



     (i) The Securities may only be transferred to the Company or a “Qualified Purchaser” as such
term is defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act.



     (j) Neither the Trustee nor the Securities Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining
whether any transfer hereunder complies with the registration provisions of or any exemptions from
the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or the applicable laws of any other
jurisdiction, ERISA, the United States Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Investment
Company Act; provided, that if a certificate is specifically required by the express terms of this
Section 3.5 to be delivered to the Trustee or the Securities Registrar by a Holder or transferee of
a Security, the Trustee and the Securities Registrar shall be under a duty to receive and examine
the same to determine whether or not the certificate substantially conforms on its face to the
requirements of this Indenture and shall promptly notify the party delivering the same if such
certificate does not comply with such terms.



     SECTION 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     (a) If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Trustee to save the Company and the Trustee harmless, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and aggregate principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.



     (b) If there shall be delivered to the Trustee (i) evidence to its satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required
by it to save each of the Company and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
shall execute and upon its receipt of a Company Order written request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of
like tenor and aggregate principal amount as such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.



     (c) If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become
due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such
Security.



     (d) Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may
require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith.



     (e) Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.6 in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation
of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued hereunder.



     (f) The provisions of this Section 3.6 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.



     SECTION 3.7. Persons Deemed Owners.



     The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the
Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any interest on such Security and
for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



     SECTION 3.8. Cancellation.



     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered
to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and
Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be



- 30 -









 







promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Company may have acquired
in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled
as provided in this Section 3.8, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All
canceled Securities shall be retained or disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its
customary practices and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of such disposition.

     SECTION 3.10.  Reserved.


     SECTION 3.11. Agreed Tax Treatment.



     (a) Each Security issued hereunder shall provide that the Company and, by its acceptance or
acquisition of a Security or a beneficial interest therein, the Holder of, and any Person that
acquires a direct or indirect beneficial interest in, such Security, intend and agree, unless
otherwise required by law, to treat such Security as indebtedness of the Company for United States
Federal, state and local and foreign tax purposes. The provisions of this Indenture shall be
interpreted to further this intention and agreement of the parties.



     (b) Intentionally Omitted.



     (c) The Company shall pay to the relevant taxing authority in accordance with applicable law,
and indemnify and hold the Holders harmless from, any present or future stamp, documentary, excise,
property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or under
the Securities or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise
with respect to, this Indenture or the Securities (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

amount of Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Other Taxes of any kind imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 3.11, imposed on or paid by any such
Holder and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from
the date any such Holder makes written demand therefor.



     (e) Intentionally Omitted.



     SECTION 3.12. CUSIP Numbers.



     The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption and other similar or related
materials as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such notice or other materials may state
that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or other materials and that reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption
shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.



     SECTION 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.



- 38 -









 





     No delay or omission of the Trustee or any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a
waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article V or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or the Holders, as the case may be.



     SECTION 5.12. Control by Holders.



     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities shall have the right to 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 the Trustee;
provided, that:



     (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,



     (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction, and



     (c) subject to the provisions of Section 6.2, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow such direction if a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee shall, in good
faith, reasonably determine that the proceeding so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the
Holders not joining in any such direction or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.



     SECTION 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.



     (a) The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities may waive any past Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except an Event of
Default:




     (i) in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on any Outstanding Security (unless such Event of Default has been
cured and the Company or the Guarantor has paid to or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay all installments of interest (including any Additional Interest) due and
past due and all principal of and any premium on all Securities due otherwise than by
acceleration), or




     (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that under Article IX cannot
be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of any Outstanding Security.



     (b) Any such waiver shall be deemed to be on behalf of the Holders of all the Outstanding
Securities.



     (c) Upon any such waiver, such Event of 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent
thereon.

     SECTION 5.14. Undertaking for Costs.



     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his or her acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, 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 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of
an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such
party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or any premium on the Security after the Stated Maturity or any interest (including
any Additional Interest) on any Security after it is due and payable.



     SECTION 5.15. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.



     Each of the Company and the Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each
of the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede
the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution
of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.



     SECTION 5.16. Original Kodiak Indentures Events of Default.



     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.1(f), the Company
shall not be deemed to be in default as a result of any payment default under that certain (a)
Junior Subordinated Indenture, dated April 6, 2005 (as amended), by and among the Company, Arbor
Realty Trust, Inc., as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee and (b) Junior
Subordinated Indenture, dated June 2, 2006, by and among the Company, Arbor Realty Trust, Inc., as
guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (the indentures described in (a) and (b)
hereof, together with any operative documents executed in connection therewith, collectively, the
“Original Kodiak Indentures”); provided, however, that at such time as such Kodiak Indentures are
terminated or all of the original preferred securities issued thereunder are exchanged by the
holders thereof with the Company or any of its Affiliates for notes, debt, equity interests or
other securities, this Section 5.16 shall be void and of no further force and effect.



ARTICLE VI.




The Trustee




     SECTION 6.1. Corporate Trustee Required.



- 40 -









 





     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities. The Trustee
shall be a corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States or of any state thereof, authorized to exercise corporate trust powers, having
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or state authority and having an office within the United States. If such entity publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such supervising
or examining authority, then, for the purposes of this Section 6.1, the combined capital
and surplus of such entity shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.1, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article VI.



     SECTION 6.2. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.



     (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:




     (i) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and




     (ii) 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; provided, that in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they substantially conform
on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.



     (b) If an Event of Default known to the Trustee has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee
shall, prior to the receipt of directions, if any, from the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a
prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own
affairs.



     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided,
every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 6.2.
To the extent that, at law or in equity, the Trustee has duties and liabilities relating to the
Holders, the Trustee shall not be liable to any Holder for the Trustee’s good faith reliance on the
provisions of this Indenture. The provisions of this Indenture, to the extent that they restrict
the duties and liabilities of the Trustee otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the
Company and the Holders to replace such other duties and liabilities of the Trustee.



- 41 -









 





     (d) No provisions of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
with respect to matters that are within the authority of the Trustee under this Indenture for its
own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, except that:




     (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error or judgment made in good faith by an
authorized officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent
in ascertaining the pertinent facts;




     (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of at least a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities;




     (iii) the Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it
hereunder except as otherwise agreed in writing with the Company and money held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law; and




     (iv) the Trustee shall not be liable for the failure to take any action with respect to
any Event of Default described in (A) Section 5.1(j) or (B) Section 5.1(h), unless and until
there has been given to the Trustee and the Company by the Holders of at least twenty-five
percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a written notice
specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder.



     SECTION 6.3. Notice of Defaults.



     Within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any default actually known to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Securities, the Trustee shall be fully protected in withholding the
notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of
directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding the
notice is in the interest of Holders of Securities. For the purpose of this Section 6.3,
the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become,
an Event of Default.



     SECTION 6.4. Certain Rights of Trustee.



     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.2:



     (a) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting in good faith and in accordance with the terms hereof upon any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture, note or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;



     (b) if (i) in performing its duties under this Indenture the Trustee is required to decide
between alternative courses of action, (ii) in construing any of the provisions of this Indenture



- 42 -









 







the Trustee finds ambiguous or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or
(iii) the Trustee is unsure of the application of any provision of this Indenture, then, except as
to any matter as to which the Holders are entitled to decide under the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall deliver a notice to the Company requesting the Company’s written instruction as to
the course of action to be taken and the Trustee shall take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, as the Trustee shall be instructed in writing to take, or to refrain from taking, by
the Company; provided, that if the Trustee does not receive such instructions from the Company
within ten Business Days after it has delivered such notice or such reasonably shorter period of
time set forth in such notice the Trustee may, but shall be under no duty to, take such action, or
refrain from taking such action, as the Trustee shall deem advisable and in the best interests of
the Holders, in which event the Trustee shall have no liability except for its own negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct;



     (c) any request or direction of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company
Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced
by a Board Resolution;



     (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel (which counsel may be counsel to the Trustee, the
Company, the Guarantor or any of their Affiliates, and may include any of its employees) and the
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;



     (e) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture,
unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against the costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and
liabilities that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction, including
reasonable advances as may be requested by the Trustee;



     (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, indenture, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee in its discretion
may make such inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the
books, records and premises of the Company and the Guarantor, personally or by agent or attorney;



     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees and the
Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such agent,
attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder;



     (h) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable to
receive instructions with respect to enforcing any remedy or right or taking any other action with
respect to enforcing any remedy or right hereunder, the Trustee (i) may request instructions from
the Holders (which instructions may only be given by the Holders of the same



- 43 -









 







aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities as would be entitled to direct the
Trustee under this Indenture in respect of such remedy, right or action), (ii) may refrain from
enforcing such remedy or right or taking such action until such instructions are received and
(iii) shall be protected in acting in accordance with such instructions;



     (i) except as otherwise expressly provided by this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be under
any obligation to take any action that is discretionary under the provisions of this Indenture;



     (j) without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other proceeding referred to in clauses (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default, such
expenses (including legal fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) and the compensation for
such services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy laws or
law relating to creditors rights generally;



     (k) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that
a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers’ Certificate addressing such matter, which, upon
receipt of such request, shall be promptly delivered by the Company or the Guarantor;



     (l) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default unless either
(i) a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge or (ii) the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company, the Guarantor or a Holder; and



     (m) in the event that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent,
Securities Registrar or Calculation Agent hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the
Trustee pursuant to this Article VI shall also be afforded such Paying Agent,
Authenticating Agent, Securities Registrar and/or Calculation Agent.



     SECTION 6.5. May Hold Securities.



     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Securities Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company and the Guarantor with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Securities Registrar or such other
agent.



     SECTION 6.6. Compensation; Reimbursement; Indemnity.



     (a) The Company agrees:




     (i) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder in such amounts as the Company and the Trustee shall agree from
time to time (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);



- 44 -









 






     (ii) to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements
of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct; and




     (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to indemnify the Trustee and
its Affiliates, and their officers, directors, shareholders, agents, representatives and
employees for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, damage, liability, tax (other
than income, franchise or other taxes imposed on amounts paid pursuant to (i) or (ii)
hereof), penalty, expense or claim of any kind or nature whatsoever incurred without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust or the performance of the Trustee’s duties
hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.



     (b) To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.6, the Company
hereby grants and pledges to the Trustee and the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities

survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of
the Trustee.



     (d) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost profits,
even if the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the
form of action.



     (e) In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its
obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control, including, but not limited to,
acts of God, flood, war (whether declared or undeclared), terrorism, fire, riot, embargo,
government action, including any laws, ordinances, regulations, governmental action or the like
which delay, restrict or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this Indenture.



     SECTION 6.7. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.



     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article VI shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by
the successor Trustee under Section 6.8.



     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company.



- 45 -









 





     (c) The Trustee may be removed by the Act of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and the Company and the
Guarantor.



     (d) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any reason, the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee, and such
successor Trustee and the retiring Trustee shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section
6.8. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed by such Holders and accepted appointment
within sixty (60) days after the giving of a notice of resignation by the Trustee or the removal of
the Trustee in the manner required by Section 6.8, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months (or, if the Securities have been Outstanding for less than six (6)
months, the entire period of such lesser time) may, on behalf of such Holder and all others
similarly situated, and any resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.



     SECTION 6.8. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.



     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee, each successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.



     (b) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 6.8.



     (c) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance
such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article VI.



     SECTION 6.9. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.



     Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
provided, that such Person shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article VI.
In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation or as otherwise provided above in this
Section 6.9 to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Securities so authenticated,



- 46 -









 







and in case any Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee or in the name of such
successor Trustee, and in all cases the certificate of authentication shall have the full force
which it is provided anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture that the certificate of the
Trustee shall have.



     SECTION 6.10. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.



     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company or the Guarantor, and neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by
the Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.



     SECTION 6.11. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.



     (a) The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Securities,
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities issued upon
original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery
of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall
be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a
corporation or national banking association organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, or of any State or Territory thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of
not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority.
If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually pursuant to law or to
the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 6.11 the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 6.11, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in this Section 6.11.



     (b) Any Person into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent shall be the successor Authenticating Agent
hereunder, provided such Person shall be otherwise eligible under this Section 6.11,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.



- 47 -









 





     (c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the
Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 6.11, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent eligible under the
provisions of this Section 6.11, which shall be acceptable to the Company, and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.



     (d) The Company or the Guarantor agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 6.11 in such amounts as the
Company and the Authenticating Agent shall agree from time to time.



     (e) If an appointment of an Authenticating Agent is made pursuant to this
Section 6.11, the Securities may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:



     This is one of the Securities referred to in the within mentioned Indenture.

     SECTION 10.4. Calculation Agent.



     (a) The Company hereby agrees that for so long as any of the Securities remain Outstanding,
there will at all times be an agent appointed to calculate LIBOR in respect of each Interest
Payment Date in accordance with the terms of Schedule A (the “Calculation Agent”). The
Trustee shall initially serve as Calculation Agent for purposes of determining LIBOR for each
Interest Payment Date. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the Trustee or the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities at any time. If the
Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or is removed, Trustee or the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities will promptly appoint as a
replacement Calculation Agent the London office of a leading bank which is engaged in transactions
in Eurodollar deposits in the international Eurodollar market and which does not control or is not
controlled by or under common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent
may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed.



     (b) The Calculation Agent shall be required to agree that, as soon as possible after 11:00
a.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date (as defined in Schedule A), but in no
event later than 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Business Day immediately following each LIBOR
Determination Date, the Calculation Agent will calculate the interest rate (the Interest Payment
shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with half a cent being rounded upwards) for the related
Interest Payment Date, and will communicate such rate and amount to the Company, the Trustee, each
Paying Agent and the Depositary. The Calculation Agent will also specify to the Company the
quotations upon which the foregoing rates and amounts are based and, in any event, the Calculation
Agent shall notify the Company before 5:00 p.m. (London time) on each LIBOR Determination Date that
either: (i) it has determined or is in the process of determining the foregoing rates and amounts
or (ii) it has not determined and is not in the process of determining the foregoing rates and
amounts, together with its reasons therefor. The Calculation Agent’s determination of the
foregoing rates and amounts for any Interest Payment Date will (in the absence of manifest error)
be final and binding upon all parties. For the sole purpose of calculating the interest rate for
the Securities, “Business Day” shall be defined as any day on which dealings in deposits in Dollars
are transacted in the London interbank market.



     SECTION 10.5. Additional Indebtedness.



     (a) The Company shall be permitted to incur additional Debt (including convertible debt);
provided, that, during the Modification Period any such additional Debt shall not be used, in whole
or in part, to redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, or make a liquidation payment on, any of the
Company’s common or preferred stock or other Equity Interests. If the Company elects to use any or
all proceeds of such Debt for purposes prohibited hereunder, then the Company shall give notice of
such election to the Holders within ten (10) days after such



- 56 -









 







election and shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Modification Period effective as
of the first Interest Payment Date occurring after nine (9) months have elapsed since the
incurrence of such additional Debt. If the Company inadvertently violates the terms hereof, then
if the Company has not cured such violation or breach to the satisfaction of the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the of the Outstanding Securities within seven (7) days
after such breach or violation, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the
Modification Period effective nine (9) months after the incurrence of such Debt and such election
shall not be deemed to constitute an Event of Default. The foregoing restrictions shall not be
deemed to prohibit the conversion of convertible debt to common or preferred stock or other Equity
Interests.



     SECTION 10.6. Additional Covenants.



     (a) The Company covenants and agrees with each Holder of Securities that (i) during the
Modification Period and (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, it shall
not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, or otherwise
acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s common or preferred
stock or other Equity Interests, (ii) vote in favor of or permit or otherwise allow any of its
Subsidiaries to declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, or otherwise

Interests are perpetual or otherwise) other than to the Company, or (iii) make any payment of
principal of or any interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt
securities of the Company that rank pari passu in all respects with or junior in interest to the
Securities (other than (A) repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital
stock of the Company in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other similar
arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or
consultants, in connection with a dividend reinvestment or stockholder stock purchase plan or in
connection with the issuance of capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or
exercisable for such capital stock) as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into
while the Modification Period is not in effect prior to an Event of Default, (B) as a result of an
exchange or conversion of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock (or any capital stock
of a Subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company’s capital stock or of any
class or series of the Company’s indebtedness for any class or series of the Company’s capital
stock upon substantially the same terms, (C) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the
Company’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or
the security being converted or exchanged, (D) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any

such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the dividend is being
paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock) (F) with respect to the Taberna Indenture I,
the Taberna Indenture II, the Attentus Indenture I, the Attentus Indenture II, and the Original
Kodiak Indentures or (G) any other dividends or distributions necessary in order for the Company to
maintain its REIT status, provided that (x) such dividend or distributions shall be declared and
paid in stock in an amount up to the maximum extent permitted by the Code or rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder, with

the balance payable in cash, and (y) the Company shall be permitted to increase its
distribution from the minimum requirement under the Code to distribute ninety percent (90%) of its
taxable income to one hundred percent (100%) of the taxable income and, with respect to this
subsection (G), any violation of this subsection G shall not be an Event of Default unless the
Company or the Guarantor fail to cure to the satisfaction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the of the Outstanding Securities any breach or default within seven (7) days
after discovery thereof.



     (b) Intentionally omitted.



     (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.6(a) the Company shall be permitted
during the Modification Period to issue common or preferred shares of the Company’s stock (each, a

dividends are permitted to be declared without declaring or paying dividends upon or otherwise
making payments upon any other Equity Interests (except to comply with the REIT status maintenance
requirements described in Section 10.6(a); (ii) the holders of such New Stock Class shall
not receive dividends that exceed 15% per annum of the purchase price of such New Stock Class; and
(iii) not more than 25% of the capital raised from the issuance of such New Stock Class is used to
repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire Equity Interests of the Company. If at any time the
Company elects to issue a New Stock Class and more than 25% of the capital raised from the issuance
of the New Stock Class is used for the repurchase or redemption of any common or preferred stock of
the Company, then the Company may elect, and shall be deemed to have elected to, terminate the
Modification Period effective nine (9) months after such repurchase or redemption. If the Company
has otherwise violated or breached the terms hereinabove, then the Company shall notify the Holders
and shall cure such violation or breach to the satisfaction of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities within seven (7) days, the failure of
which shall be deemed an election to terminate the Modification Period effective nine (9) months
after such repurchase or redemption and such election shall not be deemed to constitute an Event of
Default. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, from and after the
Modification Period Termination Date, there shall be no limitation on the Company’s rights to issue
common or preferred shares of the Company’s stock, declare or pay any dividends or distributions
on, or redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of
the Company’s common or preferred stock or other Equity Interests.



     (d) Intentionally Omitted.



     SECTION 10.7. Waiver of Covenants.

contained in Sections 10.5 and 10.6 if, before or after the time for such compliance, the
Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall,
by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance
with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective,

force and effect.



- 58 -









 





     SECTION 10.8. Treatment of Securities.



     The Company will treat the Securities as indebtedness of the Company, and the amounts, other
than payments of principal, payable in respect of the principal amount of such Securities as

provided above shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder

     Prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date specified in the notice of
redemption given as provided in Section 11.5, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or

redemption, the principal of and any premium on such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.



ARTICLE XII.




Subordination of Securities




     SECTION 12.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt.



     The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
Article XII, the payment of the principal of and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made subordinate and
subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt.



     SECTION 12.2. No Payment When Senior Debt in Default; Payment Over of Proceeds Upon
Dissolution, Etc.



     (a) In the event and during the continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of
any principal of or any premium or interest on any Senior Debt (following any grace period, if
applicable) when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for
prepayment or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, then, upon written notice of such
default to the Company by the holders of such Senior Debt or any trustee therefor, unless and until
such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect
payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made
on account of the principal of or any premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on
any of the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, repayment, retirement, purchase or other
acquisition of any of the Securities.



     (b) In the event of a bankruptcy, insolvency or other proceeding described in
clause (d) or (e) of the definition of Event of Default (each such event, if any,
herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”), all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon
accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any
payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder
of any of the Securities on account thereof. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for
by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the
extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the



- 62 -









 







Securities, to the payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities
issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment), which would
otherwise (but for these subordination provisions) be payable or deliverable in respect of the
Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of Senior Debt in accordance with the
priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt (including any interest thereon
accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) shall have been paid in full.



     (c) In the event of any Proceeding, after payment in full of all sums owing with respect to
Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities, together with the holders of any obligations of the
Company ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining
assets of the Company the amounts at the time due and owing on account of unpaid principal of and
any premium and interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities and such other
obligations before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise, shall
be made on account of any Equity Interests or any obligations of the Company ranking junior to the
Securities and such other obligations. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash, securities or other property (other
than securities of the Company or any other entity provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in these
subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, to the
payment of all Senior Debt at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in respect thereof
under any such plan of reorganization or readjustment) shall be received by the Trustee or any
Holder in contravention of any of the terms hereof and before all Senior Debt shall have been paid
in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of,
and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt at the time
outstanding in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to
the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior
Debt (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any Proceeding) in full. In
the event of the failure of the Trustee or any Holder to endorse or assign any such payment,
distribution or security, each holder of Senior Debt is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or
assign the same.



     (d) The Trustee and the Holders, at the expense of the Company, shall take such reasonable
action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior Debt or
consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the opinion of
counsel designated by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Debt at
the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure the effectiveness of the subordination
effected by these provisions.



     (e) The provisions of this Section 12.2 shall not impair any rights, interests,
remedies or powers of any secured creditor of the Company in respect of any security interest the
creation of which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.



     (f) The securing of any obligations of the Company, otherwise ranking on a parity with the
Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations
from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking
junior to the Securities.



- 63 -









 





     SECTION 12.3. Payment Permitted If No Default.



     Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time, except during the pendency of the conditions
described in paragraph (a) of Section 12.2 or of any Proceeding referred to in
Section 12.2, from making payments at any time of principal of and any premium or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or (b) the application by the Trustee of any
moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any
premium or interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such
payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have
knowledge (in accordance with Section 12.8) that such payment would have been prohibited by
the provisions of this Article XII, except as provided in Section 12.8.



     SECTION 12.4. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Debt.



     Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on all Senior Debt, or the
provision for such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Debt, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the
payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of
this Article XII (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company
that by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company to substantially the same
extent as the Securities are subordinated to the Senior Debt and is entitled to like rights of
subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Debt) to the
rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property
and securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of and any premium and interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt 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 XII, and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this
Article XII to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee,
shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt, and the Holders of
the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the
Senior Debt.



     SECTION 12.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.



     The provisions of this Article XII 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 Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XII or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Company and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of
the Securities and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of
Senior Debt 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, including filing and



- 64 -









 







voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article XII
of the holders of Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.



     SECTION 12.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.



     Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee
on his or her behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XII and appoints the Trustee his or
her attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.



     SECTION 12.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.



     No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt 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 that any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.



     SECTION 12.8. Notice to Trustee.



     (a) The Company shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of
any fact known to the Company that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in
respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XII or any other
provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee, agent or
representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided
for in this Section 12.8 at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the principal
of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, 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 that may be received by it within two (2)
Business Days prior to such date.



     (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent,
representative or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a
holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact 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 Debt to participate in any payment or distribution
pursuant to this Article XII, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to
the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by such Person, the
extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any



- 65 -









 







other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article XII, 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 12.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.



     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this
Article XII, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to
conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which
such 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 Debt 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 XII.



     SECTION 12.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt.



     The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt 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 any holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article XII or otherwise.



     SECTION 12.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt; Preservation of Trustee’s
Rights.



     The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article XII with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee
of any of its rights as such holder. With respect to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company,
the Trustee undertakes to perform only such of its obligations as are specifically set forth in
this Article XII, and no implied covenant or obligations with respect to the holders of
such Senior Debt of the Company shall be read into this Indenture as against the Trustee. Nothing
in this Article XII shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant
to Section 6.6.



     SECTION 12.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.



     If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article XII shall
in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including
such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent
were named in this Article XII in addition to or in place of the Trustee. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Company shall not be permitted to appoint itself or any Affiliate as a
Paying Agent hereunder.

punctual performance of all other obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. In
case of the failure of the Company to punctually pay its obligations on any Security, the Guarantor
hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the same shall become due
and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon redemption or otherwise, and as if such

     To the extent provided herein, the Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall be liable as
principal and as debtor hereunder with respect to its obligations under this Article. This Article

obligations hereunder shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall
be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any Security or this
Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any Security or this Indenture, or any waiver,
modification, consent or indulgence granted with respect thereto by the holder of such Security or
the Trustee, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or
any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety
or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of
claims with a court in the event of merger, insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to
require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Security
or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee
will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and
interest (including Additional Interest) on the Securities and the complete performance of all
other obligations contained in the Securities and this Indenture. The Guarantor further agrees, to
the fullest extent that it lawfully may do so, that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and
the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, the maturity of the Securities shall or may, as the
case may be, be accelerated as provided in this Indenture for purposes of the Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or prohibition existing
under any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law of any jurisdiction
preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby.



     SECTION 13.3. Reinstatement.



     This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time a payment in respect of any Security, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise

of the Company or otherwise.



     SECTION 13.4. Subrogation.



     The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of any Security against the
Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions
of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to
receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation as a result of payment
under this Guarantee, if, after giving effect to any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid
under this Guarantee. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding
sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders (other than the Company
or its Affiliates) and to pay such amount to the Holders (other than the Company or its
Affiliates).



     SECTION 13.5. Pari Passu Guarantees.



     The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 13 shall rank pari passu with the
obligations of the Guarantor under any similar guarantees or guarantee agreements issued by the
Guarantor with respect to Securities (if any) similar to the Securities or any preferred
securities, of the Company or related to trusts established or to be established by the Company
(if any), including, without limitation, the guarantee agreements issued by the Guarantor in

Indenture II.



ARTICLE XIV.

thereon accruing after the commencement of any such proceedings) shall first be paid in full before

Guarantor in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all Senior Debt

for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to
the extent provided in these subordination provisions with respect to the indebtedness evidenced by

or security shall be received in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and
transferred to, the holders of the Senior Debt of the Guarantor at the time outstanding in
accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders for application to the payment of
all Senior Debt of the Guarantor remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all such Senior

action (including the delivery of this Indenture to an agent for any holders of Senior Debt of the
Guarantor or consent to the filing of a financing statement with respect hereto) as may, in the
opinion of counsel designated by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the



- 69 -









 







Senior Debt of the Guarantor at the time outstanding, be necessary or appropriate to assure
the effectiveness of the subordination effected by these provisions.

powers of any secured creditor of the Guarantor in respect of any security interest the creation of
which is not prohibited by the provisions of this Indenture.

Securities or ranking junior to the Securities, shall not be deemed to prevent such obligations
from constituting, respectively, obligations ranking on a parity with the Securities or ranking
junior to the Securities.

     Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent (a) the Guarantor, at any time, except during the pendency of the

deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of and any premium or
interest (including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such payment by

subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Debt
of the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Article XIV (equally and ratably with the

     SECTION 14.5. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.



     The provisions of this Article XIV 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 Debt of
the Guarantor on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article XIV or elsewhere in this
Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between the Guarantor and the
Holders of the Securities, the obligations of the Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional,
to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and any premium and interest (including
any Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, (b) affect the relative rights against the Guarantor of the Holders of
the Securities and creditors of the Guarantor other than their rights in relation to the holders of
Senior Debt of the Guarantor or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security (other than
the Company and its Affiliates) from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law
upon default under this Indenture, including filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to
the rights, if any, under this Article XIV of the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor to
receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such
Holder.



     SECTION 14.6. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.



     Each Holder of a Security by such Holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the
Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination provided in this Article XIV and appoints the Trustee
such Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.



     SECTION 14.7. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.



     (a) No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt of the Guarantor 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 Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by
any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Guarantor with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.



     (b) Without in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section 14.7, the
holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor may, at any time and from to time, without the consent of
or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to such
Holders of the Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this
Article XIV or the obligations hereunder of such Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior
Debt of the Guarantor, 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, Senior Debt of the Guarantor, or
otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt of the Guarantor or any instrument
evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Debt of the Guarantor is outstanding, (ii)
sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise
securing Senior Debt of the Guarantor, (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the
payment of Senior Debt of the Guarantor and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Guarantor and any other Person.

     SECTION 14.8. Notice to Trustee.



     (a) The Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee of
any fact known to the Guarantor that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XIV or any other
provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts that would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received written
notice thereof from the Guarantor or a holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor or from any trustee,
agent or representative therefor; provided, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
provided for in this Section 14.8 at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any monies may become payable for any purpose (including, the payment of the principal
of and any premium on or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any Security), then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, 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 that may be received by it within two
Business Days prior to such date.



     (b) The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself or herself to be a holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor (or a
trustee, agent, representative or attorney-in-fact therefor) to establish that such notice has been
given by a holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor (or a trustee, agent, representative or
attorney-in-fact 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 Debt of the
Guarantor to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article XIV, the Trustee
may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the
amount of Senior Debt of the Guarantor 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 XIV, 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 14.9. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.



     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor referred to in this Article XIV,
the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order
or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such 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 Debt of the Guarantor and
other indebtedness of the Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts
paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article XIV.



- 72 -









 





     SECTION 14.10. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor.



     The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under this Indenture, shall not owe or be deemed to
owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor 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 Guarantor or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any
holders of Senior Debt of the Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article XIV or
otherwise.



     SECTION 14.11. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor; Preservation
of Trustee’s Rights.



     The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article XIV with respect to any Senior Debt of the Guarantor that may at any time be held by it, to
the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt of the Guarantor, and nothing in this Indenture
shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. With respect to the holders of
Senior Debt of the Guarantor, the Trustee undertakes to perform only such of its obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Article XIV, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to
the holders of such Senior Debt of the Guarantor shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee. Nothing in this Article XIV shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under
or pursuant to Section 6.6.



     SECTION 14.12. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.



     If at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Trustee and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article XIV shall in such
case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying
Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named
in this Article XIV in addition to or in place of the Trustee.



* * * *




     This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

EXHIBIT A

DETERMINATION OF LIBOR




     With respect to the Securities, the London interbank offered rate (“LIBOR”) shall be
determined by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the following provisions (in each case
rounded to the nearest .000001%):



     (1) On the second LIBOR Business Day (as defined below) prior to an Interest Payment Date
(each such day, a “LIBOR Determination Date”), LIBOR for any given security shall for the following
interest payment period equal the rate, as obtained by the Calculation Agent from Bloomberg
Financial Markets Commodities News, for three-month Eurodollar deposits that appears on Dow Jones
Telerate Page 3750 (as defined in the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. 1991
Interest Rate and Currency Exchange Definitions), or such other page as may replace such Page 3750,
as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such LIBOR Determination Date.



     (2) If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, such rate does not appear on Dow Jones Telerate Page
3750 or such other page as may replace such Page 3750, the Calculation Agent shall determine the
arithmetic mean of the offered quotations of the Reference Banks (as defined below) to leading
banks in the London interbank market for three-month Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by
the Calculation Agent by reference to requests for quotations as of approximately 11:00 a.m.
(London time) on the LIBOR Determination Date made by the Calculation Agent to the Reference Banks.
If, on any LIBOR Determination Date, at least two of the Reference Banks provide such quotations,
LIBOR shall equal such arithmetic mean of such quotations. If, on any LIBOR Determination Date,
only one or none of the Reference Banks provide such quotations, LIBOR shall be deemed to be the
arithmetic mean of the offered quotations that leading banks in the City of New York selected by
the Calculation Agent are quoting on the relevant LIBOR Determination Date for three-month
Eurodollar deposits in an amount determined by the Calculation Agent by reference to the principal
London offices of leading banks in the London interbank market; provided that, if the
Calculation Agent is required but is unable to determine a rate in accordance with at least one of
the procedures provided above, LIBOR shall be LIBOR as determined on the previous LIBOR
Determination Date.



     (3) As used herein: “Reference Banks” means four major banks in the London interbank market
selected by the Calculation Agent; and “LIBOR Business Day” means a day on which commercial banks
are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and foreign currency deposits) in
London.
