Notwithstanding any other provision of this First Supplemental Indenture, the provisions of this First Supplemental Indenture, including the covenants set forth herein, are expressly and solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities.  The Securities constitute a separate series of Securities as provided in Section 2.1 of the Indenture.


 


Section 2.02   Creation of the Securities.  In accordance with Section 2.1 of the Indenture, the Company hereby creates the Securities as a separate series of its Securities issued pursuant to the Indenture.

Interest on the Securities shall be payable quarterly in arrears in U.S. Dollars on January 31, April 30, July 31 and October 31 of each year, commencing on July 31, 2014 (each such date, a “Interest Payment Date” for the purposes of the Securities under this First Supplemental Indenture).

Additional Securities issued in this manner shall be consolidated with and shall form a single series with the previously outstanding Securities.


 


(g) Redemption.  The Securities are subject to redemption by the Company in whole or in part in the manner described herein.


 


(h) Ranking.  The Securities will be the Company’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank equally with all of its current and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness and senior to all of its current and future subordinated debt.

(v) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6.0 million;


 


(vi) repurchases of Qualified Capital Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities to the extent such Qualified Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price of those stock options, warrants or other convertible or exchangeable securities;

In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Issue Date in accordance with clause (c) of Section 4.02(a), amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i), (ii)(B), (iii)(B)(II) and (iv) shall be included in such calculation.


 


Section 4.03            Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company to:


 


(i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock;


 


(ii) make loans or advances to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary or to pay any Indebtedness or other obligation owed to the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; or

except in each case for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:


 


(b) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;


 


(c) the Indenture and the Securities;


 


(d) the Credit Agreement;


 


(e) customary non-assignment and similar provisions of any contract,  lease or license entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(h) any encumbrance or restriction on the transfer of assets subject to any Lien permitted under the Indenture imposed by the holder of such Lien;


 


(i) restrictions imposed by any agreement to sell assets or Capital Stock permitted under the Indenture to any Person pending the closing of such sale;


 


(j) Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness and mortgage financings for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and  Capitalized Lease Obligations that only impose restrictions on the property so acquired;


 


(k) any agreement pursuant to which Indebtedness was issued if (i) the encumbrance or restriction applies only in the event of a payment default or a default with respect to a financial covenant contained in such Indebtedness, (ii)(A) the encumbrance or restriction is not materially more disadvantageous to the holders of the Securities than is customary in comparable financings (as determined by the Company) and (B) the Company determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially affect its ability to make principal or interest payments on the Securities;


 


(l) Indebtedness permitted to be incurred subsequent to the date of the Indenture pursuant to Section 4.04; provided that such encumbrances or restrictions are no less favorable to the Company, taken as a whole, in any material respect than the encumbrances or restrictions contained in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;


 


(m) customary provisions in joint venture agreements, Sale and Leaseback Transactions and other similar agreements (in each case relating solely to the respective joint venture or similar entity or the equity interests therein) entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

Section 4.04            Limitation on Incurrence of Additional Indebtedness.


 


(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness); provided, however, that if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Indebtedness, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Indebtedness (including, without limitation, Acquired Indebtedness), in each case if on the date of the incurrence of such Indebtedness, after giving effect to the incurrence thereof, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company is greater than 2.0 to 1.0.


 


(b) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness which by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) is expressly subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is also by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) made expressly subordinate to the Securities to the same extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be.


 


Section 4.05 Limitation on Asset Sales.


 


(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:


 


(i) the Company or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors);


 


(ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Company or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such Asset Sale shall be in the form of cash, Cash Equivalents and/or Replacement Assets (as defined below) (or a combination thereof) and is received at the time of such disposition; provided that


 



	
  

	
(A)

	
the amount of any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Securities) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets;







 



	
  

	
(B)

	
the fair market value of any securities or other assets received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary in exchange for any such assets that are converted into cash within 180 days after such Asset Sale; and







 



	
  

	
(C)

	
any of the assets described in clauses (iii)(B) and (C)







 



	
  

	
shall be deemed to be cash for purposes of this provision; and







 


(iii) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Company shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof either:


 



	
  

	
(A)

	
to repay (i) any Obligations under the Credit Agreement and effect a permanent reduction in the availability under such Credit Agreement and (ii) in the case of an Asset Sale by a Restricted Subsidiary, Obligations of such Restricted Subsidiary;













	
  

	
(B)

	
to invest or commit to invest in properties and assets that replace the properties and assets that were the subject of such Asset Sale or in properties and assets (including Capital Stock) that will be used in the business of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as existing on the Issue Date or in businesses reasonably related thereto (“Replacement Assets”);













	
  

	
(C)

	
to acquire or commit to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the voting Capital Stock of a Permitted Business; and/or













	
  

	
(D)

	
a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by the foregoing clauses (iii)(A) through (iii)(C);












provided that in the case of a commitment under clauses (B) and (C) above made prior to the expiration of such 365-day period, such investment or acquisition shall be deemed to comply with this covenant if consummated within six months after such commitment.


 


(b) When the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph total $5.0 million or more (each, a “Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date”), the Company will, within 30 days, make an offer to purchase (the “Net Proceeds Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any Pari Passu Debt, an offer to purchase to all holders of such Pari Passu Debt, on a date (the “Net Proceeds Offer Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, from all Holders (and holders of any Pari Passu Debt) on a pro rata basis, that amount of Securities (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities (and Pari Passu Debt) to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than as contemplated by clause 2(b) above and other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration), then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this covenant.


 


(c) In the event of the transfer of substantially all (but not all) of the property and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries as an entirety to a Person in a transaction permitted under Article V hereof, which transaction does not constitute a Change of Control, the successor corporation shall be deemed to have sold the properties and assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries not so transferred for purposes of this covenant, and shall comply with the provisions of this covenant with respect to such deemed sale as if it were an Asset Sale. In addition, the fair market value of such properties and assets of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries deemed to be sold shall be deemed to be Net Cash Proceeds for purposes of this covenant.


 


(d) Each Net Proceeds Offer will be mailed to the record Holders as shown on the register of Holders within 30 days following the Net Proceeds Offer Trigger Date, with a copy to the Trustee, and shall comply with the procedures set forth in this Indenture. Upon receiving notice of the Net Proceeds Offer, Holders may elect to tender their Securities in whole or in part in a principal amount of $25 and integral multiples of $25 in excess thereof in exchange for cash. To the extent Holders properly tender Securities in an amount exceeding the Net Proceeds Offer Amount, Securities of tendering Holders will be purchased on a pro rata basis (based on amounts tendered). A Net Proceeds Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 business days or such longer period as may be required by law. If any Net Cash Proceeds remain after the consummation of any Net Proceeds Offer, the Company may use those Net Cash Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture. Upon completion of each Net Proceeds Offer, the amount of Net Cash Proceeds will be reset at zero.


 


(e) The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to a Net Proceeds Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with this Section 4.05 or Section 3.03, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.05 or Section 3.03 by virtue thereof.


 


Section 4.06            Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates.


 


(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under paragraph (c) of this Section and (y) Affiliate Transactions on terms that are no less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company).


 


(b) All Affiliate Transactions (and each series of related Affiliate Transactions which are similar or part of a common plan) involving aggregate payments or other property with a fair market value in excess of $1.0 million must be approved by the Company’s Board of Directors or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, such approval to be evidenced by a Board Resolution stating that such Board of Directors has determined that such transaction complies with the foregoing provisions. If the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary enters into an Affiliate Transaction (or a series of related Affiliate Transactions related to a common plan) that involves an aggregate fair market value of more than $2.5 million, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall, prior to the consummation thereof, obtain a written opinion stating that the Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions  is (i) fair to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from a financial point of view, from an Independent Financial Advisor or (ii) on terms not less favorable than might have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s length basis from a Person who is not an Affiliate, and file the same with the Trustee.


 


(c) The restrictions set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) shall not apply to:


 


(i) reasonable fees and compensation (including the payment of reasonable and customary benefits (including retirement, health, option, deferred compensation and other benefits plans) to officers and employees of the Company) paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors or senior management;


 


(ii) transactions exclusively between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture;


 


(iii) any agreement as in effect as of the Issue Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Issue Date;


 


(iv) Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments permitted by this Indenture; and


 


(v) the issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of the Company otherwise permitted hereunder.


 


Section 4.07            Limitation on Liens.


 


The Company will not, and will not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Issue Date or acquired after the Issue Date, or any proceeds therefrom, or assign or otherwise convey any right to receive income or profits therefrom unless:


 


(a) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness or the Securities, as the case may be, are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and


 


(b) in all other cases, the Securities are equally and ratably secured,


 


except for:


 


(i) Liens existing as of the Issue Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Issue Date;


 


(ii) Liens securing Indebtedness and other Obligations under Credit Facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount permitted to be incurred pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness”;


 


(iii) Liens securing the Securities or any guarantee thereof;


 


(iv) Liens of the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Company on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;


 


(v) Liens securing Refinancing Indebtedness which is incurred to Refinance any Indebtedness which has been secured by a Lien permitted under this Indenture and which has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that such Liens: (i) are no less favorable to the Holders in any material respect and are not more favorable to the lienholders in any material respect with respect to such Liens than the Liens in respect of the Indebtedness being Refinanced; and (ii) do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not securing the Indebtedness so Refinanced;


 


(vi) Liens securing Indebtedness (including Liens securing any Obligations in respect thereof) consisting of Indebtedness incurred in compliance with Section 4.04, provided that after giving effect to such incurrence of Indebtedness (or on the date of the initial borrowing of such Indebtedness after giving pro forma effect to the incurrence of the entire committed amount of such Indebtedness), the Consolidated Secured Leverage Ratio shall not exceed 3.0 to 1.0; and


 


(vii) Permitted Liens.


 


Section 4.08            Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantees of Company Indebtedness.  The Company shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to guarantee any Indebtedness of the Company (other than the Securities) unless such Restricted Subsidiary executes and delivers to the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for the guarantee of the Securities by such Subsidiary, which guarantee of the Securities will rank equally in right of payment with such Subsidiary’s guarantee of the Company Indebtedness (unless the Company Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities, in which case the guarantee of the Indebtedness of the Company shall be subordinated to the guarantee of the Securities to the same extent as the Indebtedness of the Company is subordinated to the Securities). Any guarantee of the Securities provided pursuant to this Section 4.08 will be automatically released when the Indebtedness is no longer outstanding or the guarantee of the Indebtedness is released or terminated, in each case, other than as a result of a payment thereon by the Restricted Subsidiary.


 


Section 4.09 Payments for Consent.


 


The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to or for the benefit of any Holder of Securities for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Holders of the Securities that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.


 


Section 4.10            Limitation on Preferred Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.


 


The Company will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue any Preferred Stock other than Preferred Stock issued to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary. The Company will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Preferred Stock issued by a Restricted Subsidiary or permit a Restricted Subsidiary to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Preferred Stock issued by a Restricted Subsidiary, other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 4.10 will prohibit Preferred Stock issued by a Person prior to the time:







(A)           such person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;







(B)           such person merges with or into a Restricted Subsidiary; or







(C)           a Restricted Subsidiary merges with or into such person;







provided, however, that such Preferred Stock was not issued or incurred by such person in anticipation of a transaction contemplated by subclause (B) or (C) above.







Section 4.11 Conduct of Business.


 


The Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries will not engage in any businesses other than a Permitted Business, except to the extent as would not be material to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(Reverse of Security)







GENERAL FINANCE CORPORATION







●% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2021












1.           This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company designated as its ●% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Securities”) limited in aggregate principal amount to $● issued and to be issued under an indenture, dated as of June ●, 2014, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor Trustee under the Indenture), and the first supplemental indenture, dated as of June ●, 2014 (the “Base Indenture,” as so supplemented and as it may be further supplemented or amended from time to time, is herein referred to as the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee.  Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Securities, including the principal thereof and interest thereon (including post-default interest), will constitute unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and will rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company's current and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.







2.           The Securities are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, from time to time, at the Company’s option at the Redemption Prices set forth in the Indenture.


 


3.           Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event, unless the Company has given written notice with respect to a redemption of the Securities pursuant to paragraph 2 of this Security, each Holder of Securities will have the right to require the Company to purchase all or a portion of such Holder’s Securities pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase.







4.           When the Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales not applied or invested as provided in the Indenture total $5.0 million or more, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase an amount of Securities (and Pari Passu Debt) equal to the Net Proceeds Offer Amount at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities (and Pari Passu Debt) to be purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to the date of purchase.







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







6.           The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the Guarantors and the rights of the Holders of Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.







7.           No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, places and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.







8.           As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security may be registered on the Securities Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instruction of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, and duly executed by the Holder hereof or such Holder’s attorney, duly authorized in writing, on which instruction the Company can rely, 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.







9.           The Securities are issuable only in fully registered form, without coupons, in minimum denominations of $25 or any amount in excess thereof which is an integral multiple of $25. 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 in authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.







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







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







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







13.           The Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not the Trustee.







14.           No past, present or future director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder or other owner of Capital Stock of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, shall have any liability for any obligations of  the Company or of the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture, the Securities Guarantees 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 for issuance of the Securities. The waiver and release may not be effective to waive or release liabilities under the federal securities laws. 







15.           This Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee or an authenticating agent.







16.           Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUT (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).







17.           Each Holder of this Security covenants and agrees by such Holder’s acceptance thereof to comply with and be bound by the foregoing provisions.







18.           THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  EACH OF THE COMPANY, THE TRUSTEE AND THE HOLDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS NOTE.


 


19.           All capitalized terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
