each related Record Date. Interest on each Note will be calculated on the
basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) -
thirty (30) day months. If, in accordance with this Note Agreement, the
Trustee holds in the Note Payment Account on a date set for redemption or
the stated maturity of one or more Notes, money or securities, if permitted
hereunder, sufficient to pay in full the Notes to be redeemed on that date,
then on and after that date such Notes shall cease to be outstanding and
interest, if any, on such Notes shall cease to accrue; provided, if such
Notes are to be redeemed, notice of such redemption has been duly given
pursuant to this Note Agreement or provision therefor satisfactory to the
Trustee has been made.
(f) PAYMENTS AT MATURITY. Principal on a Note is due and payable in
full on its original stated maturity date (the "Maturity Date") unless,
between the tenth Business Day and fifth Business day prior to the Maturity
Date of the Note, the Trustee has received written notification from the
Debtor that the Noteholder intends to exchange all or a portion of the Note
for a new Note having terms and conditions identical to the Note exchanged
and the Debtor has given written direction to the Trustee to exchange the
Note. If, between the tenth Business Day and the fifth Business Day prior
to the Maturity Date of a Note, the Trustee has received the notification
and written direction referred to in the preceding sentence, or receives
notification and written direction that only a portion of the principal
amount of the Note will be exchanged, the Trustee shall exchange the
Noteholder's Note (or portion thereof set forth in the notice and written
direction) for a new Note having terms and conditions identical to the Note
exchanged (except with respect to changes necessary to reflect any payment
of a portion of principal on the Maturity Date as set forth in the notice
and written direction) without further action on the part of the
Noteholder; provided, however, that Notes shall only be exchanged pursuant
to this sub-section (f) if the Debtor furnishes a then current prospectus
containing audited financial statements as required by the rules and
regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchanged Commission, as then in
effect, and a state blue sky qualification, or valid exemption therefrom,
is in effect with respect to the state in which the applicable beneficial
owner(s) of the Note resides, and the Debtor furnishes a certificate to the
Trustee to the forgoing effect or represents the same in the notice
referred to above. If such current prospectus is not available or such blue
sky qualification or exemption is not effective on the Maturity Date, the
maturing Note shall be paid on the Maturity Date. Any notice received by
the Trustee modifying a previous notice received by the Trustee with
respect to a Note under this Section 2.01(f) shall supersede and restate
the previous notice in its entirety and shall be controlling if received by
the Trustee within the time period specified in this Section 2.01(f). If a
Noteholder wishes to renew a maturing Note as provided above, written
notice must be given to the Debtor at least 90 calendar days but no more
than 120 calendar days prior to the Maturity Date. If the Debtor
determines, at its option, not to renew such Note then the Debtor shall
give written notice to such effect to such requesting Noteholder not less
than 20 days nor more than 60 days before the Maturity Date in accordance
with Section 2.05.
10
(g) DEPOSIT OF NOTE PROCEEDS. With respect to the gross proceeds from
initial sale of beneficial interests in a Note, the Debtor agrees to cause
each Broker/Dealer or other brokerage firm for which the Broker/Dealer acts
as agent selling for such beneficial interest to forward to the Debtor the
gross proceeds promptly upon receipt by the Broker/Dealer or other
brokerage firm. The Debtor shall remit the gross proceeds from the initial
sale of each such beneficial interest by wire transfer to the Trustee for
deposit into the Concentration Account not later than the Business Day
following the date such proceeds are received by the Debtor and constitute
cleared funds in the Debtor's accounts. In connection with the wire
transfer to the Trustee, the Debtor shall provide to the Trustee a written
statement setting forth with respect to each class of Note for which gross
proceeds are being wired to the Trustee: (i) the name of the Broker/Dealer
that will be the Noteholder and (ii) the class, principal balance, interest
rate, Date of Issue, Maturity Date, and amount of gross proceeds received
by class by the Debtor with respect to the Note. Upon receipt of such gross
proceeds, the Trustee shall deposit such proceeds into the Concentration
Account.
SECTION 2.02. REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES.
(a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at its Corporate Trust Office a
Note Register (the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Trustee shall provide for the
recordation of Notes and of transfers, pledges and exchanges of Notes as
herein provided. Each Note shall be held, transferred, and exchanged
through the book-entry facilities of the Trustee in accordance with its
customary procedures.
(b) At the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be transferred to
another Broker/Dealer or exchanged for other Notes in the same series and
of the same class in authorized denominations evidencing the same aggregate
principal amount, interest rate and maturity (subject to Section 2.01(f))
in accordance with the customary procedures of the Trustee with respect to
the transfer or exchange of book-entry obligations. All Notes canceled by
the Trustee in connection with a transfer or Exchange of Notes shall not be
entitled to payment of principal and shall have no further legal rights or
effect.
SECTION 2.03. REGISTRATION, TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF BENEFICIAL INTERESTS
IN NOTES.
(a) By its acceptance of Notes whether upon original issue or upon
transfer or assignment thereof, each Broker/Dealer accepts and agrees to be
bound by the following provisions. Except as provided below, the Notes
issued to a Broker/Dealer shall at all times remain registered in the name
of that Broker/Dealer or its nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of the Notes may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Broker/Dealer;
(ii) the Broker/Dealer and any brokerage firm for which the
Broker/Dealer acts as agent with respect to the Notes shall maintain
book-entry records with respect to the holders of beneficial interests
in such Notes and with respect to ownership and transfers of such
interests;
11
(iii) ownership and transfers of registration and exchanges of
the Notes on the books of the Broker/Dealer shall be governed by
applicable rules and procedures established by the Broker/Dealer;
(iv) the Broker/Dealer may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses with respect to the registration of ownership,
transfer, and exchange of interests in the Notes;
(v) the Trustee shall deal with the Broker/Dealer as a
representative of the holders of beneficial interests in its Notes for
purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders under this Note
Agreement, and requests or directions from, or votes of, the
Noteholder with respect to any matter shall not be deemed inconsistent
if made with respect to (or in separate proportions corresponding to)
different holders of beneficial interests in the Notes.
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying
upon information requested by the Trustee and furnished by the
Broker/Dealer, with respect to its holders of beneficial interests in
a Note and furnished by a brokerage firm for which it acts as agent
with respect to the Note with respect to Persons shown on the books of
such brokerage firms as holders of beneficial interests in the Note.
(b) All transfers by a Broker/Dealer of beneficial interests in a Note
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the
Broker/Dealer or other brokerage firm representing the holders of
beneficial interests in the Note, as applicable. Each Broker/Dealer shall
only transfer beneficial interests in a Note of the holders thereof that it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent with respect
the Notes in accordance with the Broker/Dealer's customary procedures.
(c) The Trustee shall not have any duty to monitor, maintain records
concerning (or determine compliance with any of the restrictions on
transfer applicable to) holders of beneficial interests in a Note. The
Trustee shall not have any liability for the accuracy of the records of the
Broker/Dealers or the brokerage firms for which they act as agents, or any
actions or omissions of such the Broker/Dealers or the brokerage firms.
SECTION 2.04. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to notice to the Trustee for
registration of the transfer of a Note, the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered in the Note Register
as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments and for all
other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Trustee, nor any agent of the
Trustee, shall be affected by notice to the contrary. Brokerage firms for which
a Noteholder acts as agent and holders of beneficial interests in a Note
represented by the Noteholder or the brokerage firm shall have no rights under
this Note Agreement with respect to such Notes. The rights of holders of
beneficial interests in a Note shall be limited to those established by law and
agreements between such Broker/Dealers and brokerage firms representing such
holders of beneficial interests in a Note.
12
SECTION 2.05. REDEMPTION.
(a) The Debtor, at its option, at any time may redeem one or more of
the Outstanding Notes in whole or in part. If the Debtor elects to redeem
all or part of any Note, it shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
redemption date and the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. The
Debtor shall give the notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section
2.05 in the case of any redemption of the Notes, at least 25 days but not
more than 65 days before the redemption date unless a shorter notice shall
be satisfactory to the Trustee.
(b) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, (i) the Debtor
shall designate in writing to the Trustee the Notes or portions thereof to
be redeemed or (ii) if the Debtor does not so designate or such method is
prohibited by the rules of any securities exchange or quotation system on
which the Notes are then listed or quoted, the Trustee shall select the
Notes to be redeemed pro rata or by lot among classes of Notes and by lot
within each class. The Debtor or the Trustee shall make the selection at
least 20 days, but not more than 60 days, before the redemption date from
Outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Debtor or the
Trustee may select for redemption Notes or portions of the principal amount
of Notes that have denominations of $5,000 or larger but only in integral
multiples of $1,000 of initial principal amounts. If the Trustee designates
Notes or portions thereof for redemption, the Trustee shall notify the
Debtor promptly of the Notes or portions thereof to be redeemed.
(c) At least 20 days but not more than 60 days before a redemption
date, the Trustee shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to each Noteholder of Notes (or portion thereof) to be
redeemed. The notice shall identify the Notes to be redeemed and shall
state:
(i) the redemption date;
(ii) the Redemption Price;
(iii) the name and address of the Trustee as paying agent;
(iv) if fewer than all the Outstanding Notes are to be redeemed,
the certificate number and principal amounts of the particular Notes
to be redeemed; and
(v) that interest, if any, on Notes (or portions thereof) called
for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date.
(d) The notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the
Noteholder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice
by mail or any defect in the notice to the Noteholder of any Note
designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. At the
Debtor's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Debtor's name. All redemption notices shall be at the Debtor's expense.
13
(e) Once notice of redemption is given pursuant to this Section 2.05,
the Notes or portion of the Notes called for redemption become due and
payable on the redemption date and at the Redemption Price. Upon the
redemption date, such Notes shall be paid at the Redemption Price stated in
the notice.
(f) Prior to 11:00 a.m., Mountain Time, on one Business Day prior to
the redemption date, the Debtor shall deposit with the Trustee into the
Note Payment Account immediately available funds sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of all Notes or portion of the Notes to be redeemed on
that date other than Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption which
prior thereto have been delivered by the Debtor to the Trustee for
cancellation, and on or after the redemption date (unless the Debtor shall
default in the payment of the Notes at the Redemption Price), interest, if
any, on the Notes or portion of Notes called for redemption shall cease to
accrue and, except as provided in Section 8.02 below, to be entitled to any
benefit or security under this Note Agreement, and the Noteholders thereof
shall have no right in respect of such Notes (or portion thereof) except
the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof. The Trustee shall as
promptly as practicable return to the Debtor from amounts on deposit in the
Note Payment Account all funds so deposited by the Debtor that are not
required to be paid to Noteholders as the Redemption Price.
(g) Upon partial redemption of a Note, the Trustee shall make the
appropriate entries on the Note Register to evidence such partial
redemption and a new authorized denomination equal in principal amount to
the unredeemed portion of the Note.
(h) Pursuant to this Note Agreement, any amounts held under this Note
Agreement which are available to redeem Notes may instead be used by the
Trustee at the direction of the Debtor to purchase Outstanding Notes at the
same times and subject to the same conditions (except as to price) as apply
to the redemption of Notes. Any Notes purchased shall be retired by the
Trustee and shall no longer be deemed Outstanding hereunder.

the Trustee as secured party and any amendments to UCC-1 financing
statements as are necessary to perfect and protect the Trustee's interests
in the Collateral on behalf of the Noteholders and the proceeds thereof and

UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral or amendments,

form readable by the Trustee listing all of the (i) Collateral then pledged
to the Trustee and each of the related UCC-1 financing statements showing
the Trustee as secured party, the location where each was filed, filing
number assigned by the applicable public recording agency, date of filing,
and the Debtor's name appearing as debtor thereon and (ii) the UCC-1

(including, without limitation, legal opinions in form and substance
19
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee), and take all further action, that
may be necessary or desirable, or that the Trustee may reasonably request,
in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported
to be granted hereby or to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Collateral. Debtor shall
from time to time at Trustee's request provide promptly to it a current,
accurate and complete list of all Health Care Providers (and their
respective addresses) from whom Debtor has acquired any Receivables.
Insofar as any property and/or documents which may be Collateral hereunder,
the Debtor will sign and deliver to the Trustee on demand such forms of
financing statements as may be required by the Trustee, will pay any
related filing fees, and will file, or cause to be filed, such financing
statements in the applicable jurisdictions. The Trustee's rights as
specified herein or therein shall be in furtherance of and/or in addition
to, but not in limitation of, the Trustee's rights under any applicable
law.

time to time, statements and schedules further identifying and describing

payment of its charges (including all unpaid amounts due and owing),
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee

act as depository for, and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a
member of, or act in any other capacity in respect to, any committee formed to
protect the rights of the Noteholders or to effect or aid in any reorganization

exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the

Indebtedness" shall not include (i) indebtedness evidenced by the Notes,
(ii) indebtedness of the Debtor to any subsidiary parent or affiliate of
the Debtor, a majority of the voting stock of which is owned, directly or
indirectly, by the same Persons, (iii) accounts payable or other
indebtedness to trade creditors created or assumed by the Debtor in the
ordinary course of business unless required by law to be senior in right of
32
payment to the Notes, and (iv) any particular indebtedness in which the
instrument creating or evidencing the same or the assumption or guarantee
thereof expressly provides that such indebtedness shall not be senior in
right of payment to, or is pari passu with, or is subordinated or junior
to, the Notes.
SECTION 6.02. NOTEHOLDERS' RIGHTS NOT IMPAIRED. Subject to the right of any
Senior Indebtedness to be repaid from the income, assets, and properties of the
Debtor to the extent not pledged to the Trustee hereunder, nothing contained in
this Article VI or elsewhere in this Note Agreement or in the Notes is intended
to or shall impair, as between the Debtor, its creditors and the Noteholders,
the obligation of the Debtor to pay to the Noteholders the amounts due to them
hereunder as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
the terms of this Note Agreement, nor shall anything herein prevent the Trustee
or the Noteholder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
by applicable law upon default under this Note Agreement, subject to the rights,
if any, under this Article VI of the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 6.03. ACCEPTANCE BY NOTEHOLDERS. Each Noteholder by such
Noteholder's acceptance of Notes acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing
provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to
each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was
created, assumed or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to
acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness
and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have
relied on such provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing
to hold, such Senior Indebtedness, and no amendment or modification of the
provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holder or holders
unless such holder or holders shall have agreed in writing thereto. Each Person
holding any Note whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment
thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions of this Article VI.

(b) subject to Section 7.02(c), the Trustee shall upon written request of
Noteholders of Outstanding Applicable Notes evidencing more than fifty percent
(50%) of the principal due on the Outstanding Applicable Notes, by notice to

thereupon become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or notice
of any kind, other than are hereby expressly required by this Section 7.02, all
of which are hereby expressly waived by Debtor). Upon such acceleration, in
addition to the other remedies set forth in Section 7.03:
(a) The Trustee may liquidate all funds in the Accounts related to the
Applicable Notes (and all related funds that may thereafter be deposited in
34
such Accounts) and the Permitted Investments related to the Applicable
Notes. Upon such liquidation, the proceeds realized from any such
liquidation shall be applied by the Trustee on the next Interest Payment
Date on which the Applicable Notes are Outstanding in the following order
of priority:
(i) First, to the payment of all of Trustee's fees, costs and
expenses incurred by it or incurred by acting on behalf of the
Noteholders of the Applicable Notes in enforcing Its rights and
remedies hereunder (including, without limitation, its attorneys' fees
and expenses);

the Noteholders of the Applicable Notes incurred in enforcing their
rights and remedies hereunder (including, without limitation, their
attorneys' fees and expenses) or under the other related Transaction
Documents;
(v) Fifth, to the payment to the Noteholders of the Applicable
Notes, pro rata, the amount then owing or unpaid under the Note for
interest and then principal; and
(vi) Sixth, to the extent available, to the payment to Debtor,
its successors or assigns, or to whomever may be lawfully entitled to
receive same any remaining proceeds of such liquidation.
(b) The Trustee shall apply all payments received thereafter with
respect to the Receivables or other Collateral securing the Applicable
Notes in the order of priority set forth in Paragraph 7.02(a) above.
(c) Upon providing to the Trustee adequate indemnity for costs,
expenses and liability, the Trustee shall take any and all actions
permitted by law to realize upon their security interest in the Collateral
securing the Applicable Notes and otherwise exercise remedies and undertake
all actions as may be desirable or necessary to recover all amounts due and
owing Noteholders of the Applicable Notes;
(d) The Trustee may, and upon the written instruction of Noteholders
of Outstanding Applicable Notes evidencing more than fifty percent (50%) of

35
Servicing Agreement, the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents with respect to the Applicable Notes; and
(e) The Trustee may, and upon the written instruction of Noteholders
of Outstanding Applicable Notes evidencing more than fifty percent (50%) of
the principal due on the Outstanding Applicable Notes shall, waive the
Event of Default, except failure to pay principal and interest when due,
provided that no waiver of any Event of Default shall constitute a waiver
of any other or any succeeding Event of Default or of the continuance of
the Event of Default so waived except in accordance with the terms of the
waiver.
SECTION 7.03. REMEDIES.
(a) Pursuant to the Debtor's collateral assignment of all of its
interest in the Collateral to the Trustee, and pursuant to the Servicing
Agreement, Debtor agrees that the Trustee may, upon occurrence of an Event
of Default, collect, at the Debtor's expense, all amounts due or to become
due under the Collateral securing the Applicable Notes. In connection with
such collections, the Debtor agrees that the Trustee may take or direct
such action as the Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection or liquidation of such Collateral.
(b) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against
the Debtor for the whole amount owing with respect to the Applicable Notes
and the amounts provided for in Section 5.10.
(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Trustee may, and
shall upon the direction of the Noteholders as provided in Section 7.02
above, exercise any of the rights provided for in this Note Agreement
(including Section 7.02) or other Transaction Document with respect to the
Applicable Notes, or at law or equity, including, without limitation, all
the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC. The Trustee shall
be obligated to act only upon receipt of full and adequate indemnification
from Noteholders of the Applicable Notes for any and all costs and
liabilities that may result from exercise of such remedies prior to
undertaking any thereof.
(d) At any time after a declaration of acceleration has been made
pursuant to Section 7.02 and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as provided herein, the
Noteholders of Outstanding Applicable Notes evidencing more than fifty
percent (50%) of the principal due on the Outstanding Applicable Notes, by
written notice to the Debtor and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:
(i) the Debtor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay:
(A) all overdue installments of interest on such Applicable
Notes,
36
(B) the principal of and premium, if any, on such Applicable
Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the respective rates borne
by such Applicable Notes,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
interest upon overdue installments of interest at the respective
rates borne by such Applicable Notes, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, in each case, with
respect to such Applicable Notes; and
(ii) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of such Applicable Notes which have become due solely by
such acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in this Note
Agreement.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
SECTION 7.04. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.
(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Debtor or any
other obligor upon the Notes or the property of the Debtor or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the
principal of the Notes of any class or series 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 Debtor for the
payment of overdue principal, premium, if any, or interest) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such
lesser amount as may be provided for in the Applicable Notes, of
principal and interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the
Applicable Notes 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 and its agents and counsel)
and of the Noteholders allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(ii) to collect and receive any money or other property payable
or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or
other similar official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Noteholder to make such payments to the Trustee,
and if the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Noteholder, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
37
of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee.
(b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Applicable Notes or the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or
to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder
of an Applicable Note in any such proceeding.
(c) In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any
proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture
to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to
represent all the Noteholders of the Applicable Notes, and it shall not be
necessary to make any Noteholder of the Applicable Notes parties to any
such proceedings.
SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. Within ninety (90) days after the
occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Applicable Notes, the
Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the extent provided in Section
313(c) of the TIA notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless
such default shall have been cured or waived. Such default shall be treated as
known to the Trustee only when actual knowledge of such default is obtained by
any officer within the Corporate Trust Department of the Trustee, including,
without limitation, any Vice President, Assistant Vice President, Secretary,
Assistant Secretary or any other officer of the Trustee customarily performing
functions similar to those performed by any of the above designated officers and
also, with respect to a particular matter, any other officer of the Trustee to
whom such matter is referred because of such officer's knowledge of and
familiarity with the particular subject. Except in the case of a default in the
payment of the principal of or interest with respect to any Applicable Note, or
in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Notes, the
Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as an
authorized officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding
of such notice is in the interest of the Noteholders. The second sentence of
this Section 7.05 shall be in lieu of the proviso to Section 315(b) of the TIA,
and such provision is hereby expressly excluded from this Note Agreement, as
permitted by the TIA. For the purpose of this Section 7.05, the term "default"
means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become,
an Event of Default with respect to the Applicable Notes. The Trustee shall not
give notice of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest with
respect to any Applicable Note until at least sixty (60) days have passed since
its occurrence.
SECTION 7.06. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF NOTES. All
rights of action and claims under this Note Agreement or the Applicable Notes
may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of
the Applicable Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name 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 Noteholders in respect of which such judgment has been
recovered.
38
SECTION 7.07. LIMITATION ON SUITS.
(a) No Holder of any Applicable Note shall have any right to institute
any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Note Agreement,
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless:
(i) such Noteholder has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Applicable
Notes of the same series;
(ii) the Noteholders of Outstanding Applicable Notes evidencing
not less than twenty five percent (25%) of the principal due on the
Outstanding Applicable Notes 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;
(iii) such Noteholder or Noteholders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request;
(iv) the Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any
such proceeding; and
(v) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been
given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Noteholders of
Outstanding Applicable Notes evidencing more than fifty percent (50%)
of the principal due on the Outstanding Applicable Notes;
(b) One or more Noteholders shall not have any right in any manner
whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Note
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other
Noteholders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Noteholders or to enforce any right under this Note Agreement,
except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit
of all the Noteholders.
ARTICLE VIII
TERMINATION OF NOTE AGREEMENT
SECTION 8.01. DEPOSIT OF PAYMENT. When the Debtor has delivered to the
Trustee a statement that it does not intend to authorize any further series or
classes of Notes under this Note Agreement and all Outstanding Notes have become
due and payable and the Debtor deposits with the Trustee funds, as permitted by
the terms of this Note Agreement including all supplemental note agreements,
sufficient to pay at their stated maturity the principal and accrued and unpaid
interest of all Outstanding Notes, and the Debtor deposits with the Trustee or
pays, or adequate provision has been made for, all other sums payable under this
Note Agreement and all supplemental note agreements, then this Note Agreement
and all supplemental note agreements and the trusts created thereby shall,
subject to Section 5.10 above, cease to be of force and further effect and shall
39
terminate. The Trustee shall join in the execution of a document prepared by the
Debtor and reasonably acceptable to the Trustee acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Note Agreement and all supplemental note agreements on request
of the Debtor.
SECTION 8.02. APPLICATION OF FUNDS. The Trustee shall hold in trust for the
benefit of the Noteholders all amounts deposited pursuant to Section 8.01 (and
all investments of such amounts). The Trustee shall apply such deposited amounts
first in accordance with Section 5.11(a) and then 5.11(c) this Note Agreement.
SECTION 8.03. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee is unable to apply any amounts
deposited in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of any order or judgment of
any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise
prohibiting such application, then the Debtor's obligations under this Note
Agreement shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article VIII, until such time as the Trustee is permitted to
apply all such amounts in accordance with Section 8.02; provided, however, that
if the Debtor makes any payment of principal of or interest on any Note
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Debtor shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Noteholders to receive such payment from the amounts held
by the Trustee after payment in full to the Notehholders.
SECTION 8.04. UNCLAIMED FUNDS. The Trustee shall return to the Debtor any
money held by it for the payment of any amount with respect to the Notes that
remains unclaimed one year subsequent to the due date of such payment provided,
the Trustee before being required to make any such return, shall mail to each
such Noteholder notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date
of mailing, any unclaimed money then remaining will be returned to the Debtor.
After return to the Debtor, Noteholders entitled to the money must look to the
Debtor for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned property
law designates another Person.
