    Section 1.04.  Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.


    In
any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or
covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 


    Any
certificate of an officer of the Company or other obligor on the Securities may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
officer or officers of the Company or other obligor on the Securities stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company or other obligor on the

    Section 1.05.  Acts of Holders.


    (a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in
and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. 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, if made in the manner provided in this
Section 1.05. 


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


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



    (d) The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate
of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof.
Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of
the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 



    (e) If
the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option,
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c), any such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such
Board Resolution, which shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than the date such first solicitation is
completed. 


    If
such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities then Outstanding have
authorized or agreed 


11





 


or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the Securities then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date;  provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after such record date. 


    (f)  For
purposes of this Indenture, any action by the Holders which may be taken in writing may be taken by electronic means or as otherwise reasonably acceptable to
the Trustee. 


 
 

    Section 1.06.  Notices, etc., to the Trustee and the Company.


    Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or 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 or by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as provided in
Section 5.01(c)) hereunder if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
Corporate Trust Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Holders or the Company or any other obligor on the Securities by the Trustee, in any event, with a copy
to the Trustee at Sixth and Marquette, MAC N9303-120, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55479, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration; or 


    (ii) the
Company by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as provided in Section 5.01(c)) hereunder if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to the Company at 3930 Howard Hughes Parkway, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109, Attention: Chief Financial Officer or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 




 
 

    Section 1.07.  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, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to each Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the 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. Any notice when mailed to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively
deemed to have been received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. 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. 



    In
case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of this
Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 


 
 

    Section 1.08.  Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.



    If
any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the Trust Indenture Act or another provision which is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture
by any of the 


12





 


provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, the provision or requirement of the Trust Indenture Act shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 



 
 

    Section 1.09.  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 hereof. 


 
 

    Section 1.10.  Successors and Assigns.


    All
covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. 



 
 

    Section 1.11.  Separability Clause.


    In
case 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 any way be affected or impaired thereby. 


 
 

    Section 1.12.  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 hereunder, any Paying Agent and the
Holders) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 


 
 

    Section 1.13.  No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employee and Stockholders.


    No
past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company or any
successor Person or any of the Company's Affiliates under the Securities, the Indenture, the Security Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their
creation. Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration issuance of the Securities. The waiver may not
be effective to waive liabilities under the Federal securities laws. 


 
 

    Section 1.14.  Governing Law.



    THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.


 
 

    Section 1.15.  Legal Holidays; Payment of Securities.


    In
any case where any Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, Maturity or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal or premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on such Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Maturity or Stated Maturity and no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, Maturity or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

semiannually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2002, at the rate of 7.50% per annum, subject to adjustments as described in the second following
paragraph, in United States dollars, until the principal hereof is paid or duly provided for. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months. 


    The
Holder of this Series A Security is entitled to the benefits of the Registration Rights Agreement. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, subject to the terms and
conditions thereof, the Company is obligated to consummate the Exchange Offer pursuant to which the Holder of this Series A Security shall have the right to exchange this Series A
Security for a like principal amount of the Series B Securities as provided therein. The Series A Securities and the Series B Securities are together referred to as the
"Securities." The Series A Securities rank pari passu in right of payment with the Series B Securities.

the Series A Securities, (b) the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 120th calendar day following the date of original issue of the
Series A Securities or (c) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or, if the Company is prohibited from doing an Exchange Offer, a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective,
in either case, on or prior to the 150th calendar day following the date of original issue of the Series A Securities (each such event referred to in clauses (a) through
(c) above, a "Registration Default"), the interest rate borne by the Series A Securities shall be increased
by an absolute amount of 0.25% per annum upon the occurrence of any Registration Default, which rate (as increased as aforesaid) will increase by an additional absolute amount of 0.25% each
90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue under any such circumstance; provided, that the maximum aggregate increase
in the interest rate will in no event exceed an absolute amount of one percent (1%) per annum. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease and the
interest rate will revert to the original rate, provided, however, that, if after any such reduction in interest rate, a different event specified in
clause (a), (b) or (c) above occurs, the interest rate shall again be increased pursuant to the foregoing provisions. 


    The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security
(or any Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the February 15 or August 15 (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid, or duly 


17

and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or any 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 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 Indenture not inconsistent with the
requirements of such exchange, all as more fully provided in such Indenture. 


    Payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities, and exchange or transfer of the Securities, will be made at the office or agency of the Company in The
City of New York maintained for that purpose (which initially will be a corporate trust office of the Trustee located at Wells Fargo Corporate Trust, c/o Depository Trust Company, 1st Floor, TADS
Department, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041), or at such other office or agency as may be maintained for such purpose, 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; provided, however, that payment of
interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear on the Security Register. 


    Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Series A Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same
effect as if set forth at this place. 


    Unless
the certificate of authentication hereon has been duly executed by the Trustee ref erred to on the reverse hereof or by the authenticating agent appointed as provided in the
Indenture by manual
signature of an authorized signer, this Series A Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Section 2.03.  Form of Reverse of Securities.


    (a) The
form of the reverse of the Initial Securities shall be substantially as follows: 


PARK PLACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION 


    7.50%
Series A Senior Notes due 2009 


This
Series A Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 7.50% Series A Senior Notes due 2009 (herein called the "Series A
Securities"), issued under and subject to the terms of an indenture (herein called the "Indenture") dated as of August 22, 2001 between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as trustee (herein called
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, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to
be, authenticated and delivered. 


    The
Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire Debt on the Securities and (b) certain restrictive covenants and related Defaults and
Events of Default, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 


    The
Securities are subject to redemption at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole but not in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, in
amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). 



    In
the case of any redemption or repurchase of Securities in accordance with the Indenture, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be
payable to the Holders of such Securities of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date or Special Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions
thereof) for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. 


    Each
Holder, by accepting a Security, shall be deemed to have agreed that if the gaming authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries conducts or
proposes to conduct gaming requires that a Person who is a Holder or the beneficial owner of Securities be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming laws, such Holder or beneficial
owner, as the case 


22





 


may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability within the required time period. If such Person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is found unsuitable, the
Company shall have the right, at its option to (a) require such Person to dispose of its Securities or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Company's
election or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such gaming authority; or (b) redeem such Securities at a redemption price equal to the lesser of (i) such Person's
cost or (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the finding of unsuitablility
which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the applicable gaming authority. 


    In
the event of redemption or repurchase of the Securities in accordance with the Indenture in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be
issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 


    If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. 


    The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain amendments permitted without the consent of any Holders and certain amendments which require the consent of all the
Holders) as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the Securities at any time
by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (100% of the Holders in certain circumstances) at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and the Securities and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of a Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Security. 


    No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Securities or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities
(in the event such other obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities), which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the
Securities 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 a Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of such Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 


    Certificated
securities shall be transferred to all beneficial holders in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Securities if (x) the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or (y) there shall
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary. Upon any such issuance, the Trustee is required to register such certificated
Securities in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such Person or Persons (or the nominee of any thereof). All such certificated Series A Securities would be required to include
the Private Placement Legend. 


23





 


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


    At
any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, upon the written request of a Holder of a Series A Security, the Company will
promptly furnish or cause to be furnished such information as is specified pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) to such Holder or to a
prospective purchaser of such Series A Security who such Holder informs the Company is reasonably believed to be a "Qualified Institutional Buyer" within the meaning of Rule 144A under
the Securities Act, as the case may be, in order to permit compliance by such Holder with Rule 144A under the Securities Act. 


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


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


    THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION
5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.


    All
terms used in this Series A Security which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 


    The
Transferee Certificate, in the form of Appendix I hereto, will be attached to the Initial Security. 



    Unless
and until (i) an Initial Security is sold under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or (ii) an Initial Security is exchanged for an
Exchange Security in connection with an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, in each case pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, then the Restricted Security Certificate,
in the form of Exhibit A hereto, will be attached to the Initial Security. After such Initial Security is sold under an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or exchanged
for an Exchange Security, then the Unrestricted Security Certificate, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, will be attached to the Exchange Security. 



    (b) The
form of the reverse of the Exchange Securities shall be substantially as follows: 


PARK PLACE ENTERTAINMENT CORPORATION 


    7.50%
Series B Senior Notes due 2009 


This
Series B Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its 7.50% Series B Senior Notes due 2009 (herein called the "Series B
Securities"), issued under and subject to the terms of an indenture (herein called the "Indenture") dated as of August 22, 2001, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National
Association, as trustee (herein called 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, obligations and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and of the terms upon
which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. 


24





 


    The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the entire Debt on the Securities and (b) certain restrictive covenants and related Defaults and
Events of Default, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth therein. 


    The
Securities are subject to redemption at any time, at the option of the Company, in whole or but not in part, on not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, in
amounts of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Make-Whole Premium, together with accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of Holders of record on relevant record dates to receive interest due on an Interest Payment Date). 


    In
the case of any redemption or repurchase of Securities in accordance with the Indenture, interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be
payable to the Holders of such Securities of record as of the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date or Special Record Date referred to on the face hereof. Securities (or portions
thereof) for whose redemption and payment provision is made in accordance with the Indenture shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. 


    Each
Holder, by accepting a Security, shall be deemed to have agreed that if the gaming authority of any jurisdiction in which the Company or any of its subsidiaries conducts or
proposes to conduct gaming requires that a Person who is a Holder or the beneficial owner of Securities be licensed, qualified or found suitable under applicable gaming laws, such Holder or beneficial
owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability within the required time period. If such Person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is
found unsuitable, the Company shall have the right, at its option to (a) require such Person to dispose of its Securities or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of
notice of the Company's election or such earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such gaming authority; or (b) redeem such Securities at a redemption price equal to the lesser of
(i) such Person's cost or (ii) 100% of the principal amount of the Securities plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the earlier of the Redemption Date or the date of the
finding of unsuitability which may be less than 30 days following the notice of redemption if so requested or prescribed by the applicable gaming authority. 



    In
the event of redemption or repurchase of the Securities in accordance with the Indenture in part only, a new Security or Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof shall be
issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof. 


    If
an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal amount of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. 


    The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions (including certain amendments permitted without the consent of any Holders and certain amendments which require the consent of all the
Holders) as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Indenture and the Securities at any time
by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (100% of the Holders in certain circumstances) at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and the Securities and certain past Defaults under the Indenture and the Securities and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by or on behalf of the Holder of a Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Security. 


25





 


    No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of the Securities or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities
(in the event such other obligor is obligated to make payments in respect of the Securities), which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the
Securities 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 a Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of such Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 



    Certificated
securities shall be transferred to all beneficial holders in exchange for their beneficial interests in the Global Securities if (x) the Depositary notifies the
Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Exchange Global Security and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days or (y) there
shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default and the Security Registrar has received a request from the Depositary. Upon any such issuance, the Trustee is required to register such
certificated Securities in the name of, and cause the same to be delivered to, such Person or Persons (or the nominee of any thereof). 


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


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


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


    THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION
5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.


    All
terms used in this Series B Security which are defined in the Indenture and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 



    The
Unrestricted Security Certificate, in the form of Exhibit B hereto, and the Transferee Certificate, in the form of Appendix II hereto, will be attached to the
Exchange Security. 


 
 

ARTICLE III
  
    THE SECURITIES    



 
 
Section 3.01.  Title and Terms.



    The
aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. Additional Securities may be issued under this Indenture after
the date hereof without the consent of Holders. 


26





 


    The Initial Securities shall be known and designated as the "7.50% Series A Senior Securities due 2009" of the Company. The Exchange Securities shall be known and designated as
the "7.50% Series B Senior Securities due 2009" of the Company. The Stated Maturity of the Securities shall be September 1, 2009, and the Securities shall each bear interest at the rate
of 7.50% per annum, as such interest rate may be adjusted as set forth in the Securities and the Registration Rights Agreement, from August 22, 2001 or from the most recent Interest Payment
Date to which interest has been paid, as applicable, payable semiannually on March 1 and September 1 in each year, commencing March 1, 2002, until the principal thereof is paid or
duly provided for. Interest on any overdue principal, interest (to the extent lawful) or premium, if any, shall be payable on demand. 


    The
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Securities shall be payable and the Securities shall be exchangeable and transferable at an office or agency of the Company in
The City of New York maintained for such purposes (which initially will be a corporate trust office of the Trustee located at
Wells Fargo Corporate Trust, c/o Depository Trust Company, 1st Floor, TADS Department, 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041); provided,  however, that
payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed to addresses of the Persons entitled thereto as shown on the
Security Register. 



    For
all purposes hereunder, the Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities will be treated as one class and are together referred to as the "Securities." The Initial Securities
rank pari passu in right of payment with the Exchange Securities. 


    The
Securities shall be redeemable as provided in Article XI and in the Securities. 


    At
the election of the Company, the entire Debt on the Securities or certain of the Company's obligations and covenants and certain Events of Default thereunder may be defeased as
provided in Article IV. 


 
 

    Section 3.02.  Denominations.


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


 
 

    Section 3.03.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.


    The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by one of its Chairman of the Board, its President, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer or one of its
Vice Presidents attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signatures 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. 


    At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee (with or without
Guarantees endorsed thereon) for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and make available for delivery such Securities as provided in this Indenture and not otherwise. 


27







  




    Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 


    No
Security endorsed thereon 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 duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 



    In
case the Company, pursuant to Article VIII, shall, in a single transaction or through a series of related transactions, be consolidated or merged with or into any other
Person or shall sell, assign, convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially in their entirety to any Person, and the successor Person resulting from such consolidation or surviving such
merger, or into which the Company shall have been merged, or the successor Person which shall have participated in the sale, assignment, conveyance or transfer, as aforesaid, shall have executed an
indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, conveyance or
transfer may, from time to time, at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology and form as may
be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the Trustee, upon request of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and deliver Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person
pursuant to this Section 3.03 in exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to
them, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name. 


    The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities on behalf of the Trustee. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, an
authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
authenticating agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar or Paying Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates. 


    If
an officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates such Security such Security shall be valid nevertheless. 


 
 

    Section 3.04.  Temporary Securities.


    Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary Securities
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. 


    If
temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the
temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose pursuant to
Section 10.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee (in accordance with a Company
Order for the authentication of such Securities) shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged the temporary 


28





 


Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities. 


 
 

    Section 3.05.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.


    The
Company shall cause the Trustee to keep, so long as it is the Security Registrar, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such other office as the Trustee may designate,
a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as the Security Registrar may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. Such transfers of
Securities must be in a minimum amount of $100,000. The Trustee shall initially be the "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.
The Company may change the Security Registrar or appoint one or more co-Security Registrars without notice. 


    Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall (in accordance with a Company Order for the authentication of such Securities) authenticate and make available for delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one
or more new Securities of the same series of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount. 


    Furthermore,
any Holder of the Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial interests in such Global Security may be effected only
through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in a Security shall be required to be reflected in
a book entry. Transfers of beneficial interests must be in a minimum amount of $100,000. 


    At
the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of
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 shall (in accordance with a Company Order
for the authentication of such Securities) authenticate and make available for delivery, Securities of the same series which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive;  provided that no
exchange of Initial Securities for Exchange Securities shall occur until an Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall have been
declared effective by the Commission and the Initial Securities exchanged for the Exchange Securities have been canceled. 


    All
Securities issued upon any registration of 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 registration of transfer or exchange. 


    Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, or for exchange, repurchase or redemption, 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 Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 



    No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer, exchange or redemption of Securities, except for any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection therewith, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 9.06 or 11.08 not involving any transfer. 


    The
Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.04 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (b) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so 


29





 


selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part. 


    Every
Security shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer provided in the legend required to be set forth on the face of each Security pursuant to Section 2.02, and the
restrictions set forth in this Section 3.05, and the Holder of each Security, by such Holder's acceptance thereof (or interest therein), agrees to be bound by such restrictions on transfer. 



    Except
as provided in the preceding paragraph, any Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, any Global Security,
whether pursuant to this Section 3.05, Section 3.04, 3.08, 9.06 or 11.08 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security and bear the legend specified in Section 2.02. 


 
 

    Section 3.06.  Book Entry Provisions for Global Securities.


    (a) Each
Global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depositary,
(ii) be deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary or with the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.02. 


    Members
of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent Members") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary,
or the Trustee as its custodian, or under such Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of a holder of any Security. 


    (b) Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, 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) the Company notifies the
Trustee in writing that such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a clearing
agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days, (ii) the Company, at its option, executes and
delivers to the Trustee a Company Order stating that it elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in certificated form and that all Global Securities shall be exchanged in whole for Securities
that are not Global Securities (in which case such exchange shall be effected by the Trustee) or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or any event which after
notice or lapse of time or both would be an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security. 


    (c) If
any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or its nominee to the
Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article III. 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 the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to 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 Trustee, as Security
Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its 


30





 


records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, subject to this Section 3.06(c) and as otherwise provided in this Article III, authenticate and
deliver any Securities issuable in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the order of, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the Depositary or its
authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall promptly make available to the
Trustee a reasonable supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary or its authorized
representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article III if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with the Applicable Procedures. 


    (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, whether
pursuant to this Article III or otherwise, 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) The
Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under this Indenture and the
Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global
Security will 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 Agent Members. 



 
 

    Section 3.07.  Special Transfer and Exchange Provisions.


    (a) Certain Transfers and Exchanges.  Transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a
Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.07 shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.07. 


    (b) Exchanges Between Global Security and Non-Global Security.  A beneficial interest in a
Global Security may be exchanged for a Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.06(b). 


    (c) Private Placement Legends.  Initial Securities and their Successor Securities shall bear a Private
Placement Legend, subject to the following: 



     (i) subject
to the following clauses of this Section 3.07(c), a Security or any portion thereof which is exchanged, upon transfer or otherwise, for a Global
Security or any portion thereof shall bear the Private Placement Legend borne by such Global Security while represented thereby; 



    (ii) subject
to the following clauses of this Section 3.07(c), a new Security which is not a Global Security and is issued in exchange for another Security
(including a Global Security) or any portion thereof, upon transfer or otherwise, shall bear the Private Placement Legend borne by such other Security; 


    (iii) Exchange
Securities, and all other Securities sold or otherwise disposed of pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, together
with their respective Successor Securities, shall not bear a Private Placement Legend; 


    (iv) at
any time after the Securities may be freely transferred without registration under the Securities Act or without being subject to transfer restrictions pursuant
to the Securities Act, a new Security which does not bear a Private Placement Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion thereof which
bears such a legend if the Trustee has received an Unrestricted Securities Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, satisfactory to the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder
of such legended 



31





 


Security or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and after such date and receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security in exchange for or in lieu of
such other Security as provided in this Article III; 


    (v) a
new Security which does not bear a Private Placement Legend may be issued in exchange for or in lieu of a Security (other than a Global Security) or any portion
thereof which bears such a legend if, in
the Company's judgment, placing such a legend upon such new Security is not necessary to ensure compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Trustee, at the direction
of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such a new Security as provided in this Article III; and 


    (vi) notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07(c), a Successor Security of a Security that does not bear a particular form of Private
Placement Legend shall not bear such form of legend unless the Company has reasonable cause to believe that such Successor Security is a "restricted security" within the meaning of Rule 144, in
which case the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, shall authenticate and deliver a new Security bearing a Private Placement Legend in exchange for such Successor Security as provided in this
Article III. 




    By
its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this
Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture. 


    The
Security Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 3.06 or this Section 3.07. The Company
shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Security
Registrar. 


 
 

    Section 3.08.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.


    If
(i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or (ii) the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Security, and there is delivered to the Company, and the Trustee, such security or indemnity, in each case, as may be required by them to save each of them 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 a Company Request the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding. 


    In
case 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 replacement
Security, pay such Security. 


    Upon
the issuance of any replacement Securities under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer
taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. 



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


32





 


    The provisions of this Section 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 3.09.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.


    Interest
on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Security
(or any Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest payment. 



    Any
interest on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on the Stated Maturity of such interest, and interest on such defaulted interest at the
then applicable interest rate borne by the Securities, to the extent lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called "Defaulted Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Subsection (a) or (b) below: 


    (a) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or any relevant Predecessor Securities) are registered
at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the proposed payment (the "Special Payment Date"), 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 Special Payment Date, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
date of the Special Payment Date and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of
such Special Record Date. In the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee 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 at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date and Special Payment Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names
the Securities are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Subsection (b). 



    (b) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest 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 this Indenture not inconsistent with the requirements of such exchange, if, after written notice given by the Company to the
Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 


    Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.09, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of 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, which were carried by such other Security.

    Section 3.10.  CUSIP Numbers.


    The
Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and the Company, or the Trustee on behalf of the Company, shall use CUSIP numbers in notices
of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice shall 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 exchange and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed
on the Securities; and provided further, however, that failure to use CUSIP numbers in any notice of redemption or exchange shall not affect the
validity or sufficiency of such notice. 


 
 

    Section 3.11.  Persons Deemed Owners.


    Prior
to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may 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, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.09) interest on, such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 


 
 

    Section 3.12.  Cancellation.


    All
Securities surrendered for payment, purchase, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already canceled, shall be promptly
canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which 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 3.12, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be returned to the Company. The Trustee shall provide the Company a list of all
Securities that have been canceled from time to time as requested by the Company. 


 
 

    Section 3.13.  Computation of Interest.



    Interest
on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. 


 
 

ARTICLE IV
  
    DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE    



 
 
Section 4.01.  Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


    The
Company may, at its option by Board Resolution, with respect to the Securities, elect to have either Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 be applied to all of the
Outstanding Securities (the "Defeased Securities"), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article IV. 


 
 

    Section 4.02.  Defeasance and Discharge.


    Upon
the Company's exercise under Section 4.01 of the option applicable to this Section 4.02, the Company and any other obligor upon the Securities, if any, shall be
deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth in Section 4.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, "defeasance").
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company and any other obligor upon the Securities shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the Defeased Securities,
which shall thereafter be deemed to 


34





 


be "Outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 4.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company and upon Company Request, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of Defeased Securities to receive, solely
from the trust fund described in Section 4.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such Securities, when such
payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Defeased Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.08, 10.02 and 10.03, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including, without limitation, the Trustee's rights under Section 6.07, and (d) this Article IV. Subject to compliance with this
Article IV, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 4.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 4.03 with respect to the Securities. 


 
 

    Section 4.03.  Covenant Defeasance.


    Upon
the Company's exercise under Section 4.01 of the option applicable to this Section 4.03, the Company shall be released from its obligations under any covenant or
provision contained or referred to in Sections 10.05 through 10.11, inclusive, and Article VIII hereof, with respect to the Defeased Securities on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 4.04 below are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not "Outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver,
consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For
this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Defeased Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or
limitation set forth in any such Section, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.01(c) but, except as specified above, the remainder
of this Indenture and such Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 


 
 

    Section 4.04.  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


    The
following shall be the conditions to application of either Section 4.02 or Section 4.03 to the Defeased Securities: 


    (a) The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (i) cash in United States dollars, (ii) U.S. Government Obligations, or
(iii) a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally recognized investment
banking firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest (which shall include Additional Interest, if any) on, the Defeased Securities, on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, of
such principal, premium, if any, or interest (which shall include Additional Interest, if any) on such Defeased Securities if at or prior to electing to exercise either its option applicable to
Section 4.02 or its option applicable to Section 4.03, the Company has delivered to the Trustee an irrevocable notice of such defeasance, including the date that such defeasance is to
occur. For this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (i) direct obligations of the United States of America for the timely payment of which its full faith and credit
is pledged or (ii) obligations 


35





 


of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit
obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as
defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act), as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government
Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is
not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the
specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such depositary receipt; 


    (b) In
the case of an election under Section 4.02, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Independent Counsel in the United States
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date
hereof, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Independent Counsel in the United States shall confirm
that, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred; 


    (c) In
the case of an election under Section 4.03, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Independent Counsel in the United States
reasonably acceptable to such Trustee to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; 



    (d) No
Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit)
shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, and with respect to an election under Section 4.02 insofar as Section 5.01(e) or (f) is concerned, at any time
during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period); 


    (e) Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement
or instrument to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound; 


    (f)  The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the
holders of the Securities over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; 


    Opinions
of Counsel or Opinions of Independent Counsel required to be delivered under this Section shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and may have
qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such opinions may rely on certificates of the Company or government or other officials customary for opinions of the
type required, which certificates shall be limited as to matters of fact, including that various financial covenants have been complied with. 


36





 

 
 

    Section 4.05.  Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.



    Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all United States dollars and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04 in respect of the Defeased Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (excluding the Company or any of its Affiliates acting as Paying Agent), as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law. 


    The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 4.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is imposed, assessed or for the account of the Holders of the
Defeased Securities. 


    Anything
in this Article IV to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any United States dollars or
U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 4.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect defeasance or covenant defeasance. 


 
 

    Section 4.06.  Reinstatement.


    If
the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be, by
reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be
revived and reinstated, with present and prospective effect, as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such United States dollars or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 4.02 or 4.03, as the case may be;  provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall promptly pay any such amount to the Holders of the Securities and the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the United States dollars and U.S. Government Obligations held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

    (d) an
acceleration of the maturity of Debt of the Company (other than Non-recourse Debt), at any one time, in an aggregate amount in excess of the greater

    Section 5.02.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


    If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(e) and (f) with respect to the Company) shall occur and be continuing with respect to this
Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare all
unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on all Securities to be due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the Securities)
and upon any such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and interest shall become due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of
Section 5.01 occurs with respect to the Company and is continuing, then all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be due and payable
immediately in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Securities, together with accrued and unpaid interest 


38





 


thereon, if any, to the date the Securities become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Thereupon, the Trustee may, at its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders of the Securities by appropriate judicial proceedings. 


    After
a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in
this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration

Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay 



     (i) all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, 


    (ii) all
overdue interest on all Outstanding Securities, 


    (iii) the
principal of and premium, if any, on any Outstanding Securities which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon
at a rate borne by the Securities, 


    (iv) to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate borne by the Securities, and 




    (b) all
Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of the Securities which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 




 
 

    Section 5.03.  Collection of Debt and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


    The
Company covenants that if 



    (a) default
is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
or 


    (b) default
is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security at the Stated Maturity thereof, 




the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any,
and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the
rate borne by the Securities; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel. 


    If
the Company fails to pay such amounts within 3 Business Days of such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated. 


    If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this Indenture by such
appropriate private or judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this
Indenture or in aid of 


39





 


the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 5.12. No recovery of any such judgment upon any property of the Company
shall affect or impair any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustee or the Holders. 



 
 

    Section 5.04.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.


    In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall
then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, 



    (a) to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, and premium, if any, and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other
papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and 


    (b) to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 




and
any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07. 



    Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. 


 
 

    Section 5.05.  Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.


    All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities
in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 


 
 

    Section 5.06.  Application of Money Collected.


    Any
money and property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article or otherwise on behalf of the Holders or the Trustee pursuant to this Article or through any proceeding or any
arrangement or
restructuring in anticipation or in lieu of any proceeding contemplated by this Article shall be applied, subject to applicable law, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee
and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid

    THIRD:
The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto, including the Company, provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders and the Trustee have been paid in
full as required by this Indenture. 




 
 

    Section 5.07.  Limitation on Suits.


    No
Holder of any Securities shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Securities, or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless 



    (a) such
Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default; 


    (b) the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as trustee hereunder; 


    (c) such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee an indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance

Trustee for 15 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer (and if requested, provision) of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and 


    (e) no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 15-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities; 




it
being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Security to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Security,
except in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders. 


 
 

    Section 5.08.  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.


    Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right based on the terms stated herein, which is absolute and unconditional, to

such Holder. 


 
 

    Section 5.09.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.


    If

or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Company, any other obligor on the Securities, the Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted. 


41





 

 
 

    Section 5.10.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.


    No
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 



 
 

    Section 5.11.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


    No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security 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 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 by 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 exercising 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 (including, without limitation, Section 5.07), expose the Trustee to
personal liability, or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joining therein; and 


    (b) subject
to the provisions of Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction. 




 
 

    Section 5.13.  Waiver of Past Defaults.


    The
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of all Outstanding Securities waive any past Default
hereunder and its consequences, except a Default 



    (a) in
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security; or 


    (b) in
respect of a covenant or a provision hereof which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security
Outstanding affected by such modification or amendment. 




    Upon
any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or 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 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, suffered 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, against any party litigant in such
suit, having due regard to the merits and 


42





 


good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, but the provisions of this Section 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 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal
of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date). 


 
 

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


    The
Company 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 stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities contemplated herein or in the Securities or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company
(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.  Remedies Subject to Applicable Law.


    All
rights, remedies and powers provided by this Article V may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not violate any applicable provision of law in the
premises, and all the provisions of this Indenture are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be controlling in the premises, including applicable gaming laws,
and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render this Indenture invalid, unenforceable or not entitled to be recorded, registered or filed under the provisions of any applicable
law.

    The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their

time for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Company
covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of the
Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents) except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold
it harmless against, any claim, loss, liability, tax, assessment or other governmental charge (other than taxes applicable to the Trustee's compensation hereunder) or expense incurred without
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder,

each predecessor Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute an additional 


46





 


obligation hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee. 



 
 

    Section 6.08.  Conflicting Interests.


    The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 


 
 

    Section 6.09.  Trustee Eligibility.


    There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as trustee under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and which shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $250,000,000, to the extent there is an institution eligible and willing to serve. If the Trustee does not have a Corporate Trust Office in The City of New York, the Trustee may
appoint an agent in The City of New York reasonably acceptable to the Company to conduct any activities which the Trustee may be required under this Indenture to conduct in The City of New York. If
such Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 6.09, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation 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 6.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 


 
 

    Section 6.10.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.


    (a) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee under Section 6.11. 


    (b) The
Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice or
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, a copy of which shall be delivered to the
resigning Trustee and a copy to the successor trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint and prescribe a successor
trustee. 


    (c) The
Trustee may be removed at any time for any cause or for no cause by an Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. 


    (d) If
at any time: 



     (i) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 3.09(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, 


    (ii) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or 


    (iii) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or
any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, 



47





 

then,
in any case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee, or (ii) subject to Section 5.14, the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. 



    (e) 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 cause, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within 60 days after such resignation, removal or
incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, the Company has not appointed a successor Trustee, a successor trustee shall be appointed by the Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee. Such successor trustee so appointed shall forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment become the successor
trustee and supersede the successor trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the Securities and accepted appointment in
the manner hereinafter provided, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, subject to Section 5.14, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. 


    (f)  The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee and each appointment of a successor trustee by mailing written notice of such
event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and
the address of its Corporate Trust Office or agent hereunder. 


 
 

    Section 6.11.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.


    Every
successor trustee appointed hereunder 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 as if originally named as Trustee hereunder; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges
pursuant to Section 6.07 then unpaid, such retiring Trustee shall pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. 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 such rights and powers. 


    No
successor trustee with respect to the Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 6.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible to act as trustee under the provisions of Trust Indenture Act Section 3.09(a) and this Article VI and shall have a
combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 6.10. 


    Upon
acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 6.11, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities, by mailing
such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the appointment, then the notice
called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 6.10. If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment
by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company. 


48







  




 
 

    Section 6.12.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.


    Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the trust created by this Indenture) shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided that such corporation shall be eligible under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and this
Article VI and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 6.09, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. 


    In
case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such
successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not
have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases
such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have;  provided that the right to adopt the
certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any
predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. 



 
 

    Section 6.13.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.


    If
and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or other obligor under the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to
the extent indicated therein.

such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 



    Any

property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if failure to pay or discharge the same could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Company to perform its
obligations hereunder and (b) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon the property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,

Company to perform its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required
to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings

financially sound and responsible, against loss or damage to the extent that property of similar character is usually so insured by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties in the
same general geographic areas in which the Company and its Subsidiaries operate, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition
(financial or otherwise), earnings, business affairs or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. 


 
 

    Section 10.07.  Limitation on Liens.


    (a) Neither

Company and any Restricted Subsidiary may, directly or indirectly, create, assume or suffer to exist Permitted Liens.

(o) of the definition of "Permitted Liens" to create, assume or suffer to exist a Lien on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Securities, or (ii) an amount
equal to (A) the greater of the net cash proceeds of such sale or the fair market value of such property (in the opinion of the Board of Directors) less (B) the fair market value (in the
opinion of the Board of Directors) of any noncash proceeds of the sale of such property (provided such noncash proceeds constitute "Principal Property," acquired on the date the property sold in the
Sale and Lease-Back Transaction was acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries), is applied within 180 days to the retirement or other discharge of the Securities
or Pari Passu Debt.

    The
notice if mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such

owner, as the case may be, shall apply for a license, qualification or a finding of suitability within the required time period.
If such Person fails to apply or become licensed or qualified or is found unsuitable, the Company shall have the right, at its option: 



    (a) to
require such Person to dispose of its Securities or beneficial interest therein within 30 days of receipt of notice of the Company's election or such
earlier date as may be requested or prescribed by such gaming authority, or

Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such redemption as soon as practicable. The Company shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses any Holder or beneficial
owner may incur in connection with its application for a license, qualification or a finding or suitability.
