common stock, $0.01 par value per share, so that such definition shall read in
its entirety:

per share."

the First Supplemental Indenture:

corporation."

Senior Indebtedness which, at the time of determination, has an
aggregate principal amount outstanding of, or commitments to lend up
to, at least $50,000,000, and is specifically designated by the

Senior Indebtedness as "Guarantor Designated Senior Indebtedness"
for the purposes of this Indenture.

the Conversion Price set
4
forth in such Section from $56.23 to $41.35 so that such defined term will read
in its entirety as follows:
"Conversion Price" means $41.35, as the same may be adjusted
from time to time as provided in this Article V."
Section 2.2. Amendment to Section 5.2 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
The first paragraph of Section 5.2 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby
amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.2. Conversion Procedure. To convert a Note, a Holder must
satisfy the requirements in paragraph 10 of the Notes. The date on which
the holder satisfies all of those requirements is the conversion date (the
"Conversion Date"). As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion
Date, Guarantor shall issue and deliver to the Trustee a certificate or
certificates for the number of whole shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the conversion and a check or other payment for any fractional share in an
amount determined pursuant to Section 5.3. Such certificate or
certificates will be sent by the Trustee to the Conversion Agent for
delivery to the Holder. The Person in whose name the certificate is
registered shall become the stockholder of record on the Conversion Date
and, as of such date, such Person's rights as a Holder with respect to the
converted Note shall cease; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
provided in this Section 5.2, no surrender of a Note on any date when the
stock transfer books of Guarantor shall be closed shall be effective to
constitute the Person entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock upon
such conversion as the stockholder of record of such shares of Common
Stock on such date, but such surrender shall be effective to constitute
the Person entitled to receive such shares of Common Stock as the
stockholder of record thereof for all purposes at the close of business on
the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open;
provided, further, however, that such conversion shall be at the
Conversion Price in effect on the date that such Note shall have been
surrendered for conversion, as if the stock transfer books of Guarantor
had not been closed."
Section 2.3. Amendment to Section 5.3 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.3 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.3. Fractional Shares. Guarantor will not issue fractional
shares of Common Stock upon conversion of a Note. In lieu thereof, the
Company will pay an amount in cash based upon the Daily Market Price of
the Common Stock on the Trading Day prior to the Conversion Date."
Section 2.4. Amendment to Section 5.4 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.4 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.4. Taxes on Conversion. The issuance of certificates for
shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any Note shall be made
without charge to the converting Holder for such certificates or for any
tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates, and such certificates
shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be
directed by, the Holder or Holders of the converted Note; provided,
5
however, that in the event that certificates for shares of Common Stock
are to be issued in a name other than the name of the Holder of the Note
converted, such Note, when surrendered for conversion, shall be
accompanied by an instrument of assignment or transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Company, duly executed by the registered Holder
thereof or his duly authorized attorney; and provided, further, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable
in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any
such certificates in a name other than that of the Holder of the converted
Note, and Guarantor shall not be required to issue and the Company shall
not be required to deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or
Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the
amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the
Company that such tax has been paid or is not applicable.
Section 2.5. Amendment to Section 5.5 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.5 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.5. Guarantor to Provide Stock. Guarantor shall at all
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance
upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all outstanding Notes for
shares of Common Stock.
All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of
the Notes shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable when so issued. Guarantor shall take such action from time
to time as shall be necessary so that par value of the Common Stock shall
at all times be equal to or less than the Conversion Price then in effect.
Guarantor shall from time to time take all action necessary so that
the Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Notes, immediately
upon their issuance will be listed on the principal securities exchanges,
interdealer quotation systems (including the NNM) and markets, if any, on
which other shares of Common Stock are then listed or quoted.
Section 2.6. Amendment to Section 5.6 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.6 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.6. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion
Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
(a) In case Guarantor shall (1) pay a dividend in shares of
Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (2) make a distribution in shares
of Common Stock to holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide its outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or
(4) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Note
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the
number of shares of
6
Common Stock which such Holder would have owned immediately following such
action had such Notes been converted immediately prior thereto. Any
adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective
immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or
distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective
date in the case of a subdivision or combination. In the event such
dividend or distribution is not paid or made, or such subdivision or
combination is not effected, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted
immediately to be the Conversion Price which would then be in effect if
such dividend, distribution, subdivision or combination had not occurred.
(b) In case Guarantor shall issue rights or warrants to all
holders of Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares
of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) at a price
per share (or having a conversion price per share) less than the Current
Market Price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (f) below) of
the Common Stock on the record date for determining the holders of the
Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined
by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such
record date by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on such
record date plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered
for subscription or purchase (or the aggregate conversion price of the
convertible securities so offered) would purchase at such Current Market
Price, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or into
which the convertible securities so offered are convertible). Such
adjustments shall become effective immediately after such record date. For
the purposes of this subsection (b), the number of shares of Common Stock
at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of
Guarantor but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip
certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of such Common Stock.
Guarantor shall not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect of
shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of Guarantor.
(c) In case Guarantor shall distribute to all holders of
Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of Guarantor (other than Common
Stock), evidences of indebtedness, cash, rights or warrants entitling the
holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase securities (other than rights
or warrants described in subsection (b) above) or other assets (including
securities of Persons other than Guarantor but excluding (i) dividends or
distributions paid exclusively in cash, (ii) dividends and distributions
described in subsection (b) above and (iii) distributions in connection
with the consolidation, merger or transfer of assets covered by Section
5.13), then in each such case the Conversion Price shall be adjusted so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the
Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the record date for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current
Market Price (determined as provided in subsection (f) below) of the
Common Stock on the record date mentioned below less the fair market value
on such record date (as determined by the
7
Board of Directors of Guarantor, whose determination shall be conclusive
evidence of such fair market value and described in a Board Resolution of
the Board of Directors of Guarantor delivered to the Trustee) of the
portion of the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, cash,
rights, warrants or other assets so distributed applicable to one share of
Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of the
Common Stock outstanding on the record date), and of which the denominator
shall be such Current Market Price of the Common Stock. Such adjustment
shall become effective immediately after the record date for the
determination of the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution. In the event such distribution is not paid or made, the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted immediately to be the Conversion Price
which would then be in effect if such distribution had not occurred.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case Guarantor shall distribute rights
or warrants to subscribe for additional shares of Guarantor's Capital
Stock (other than rights or warrants referred to in subsection (b) above)
("Rights") to all holders of Common Stock, Guarantor may, in lieu of
making any adjustment pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
5.6(c), make proper provision so that each Holder of a Note who converts
such Note (or any portion thereof) after the record date for such
distribution and prior to the expiration or redemption of the Rights shall
be entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of
Common Stock issuable upon such conversion (the "Conversion Shares"), a
number of Rights to be determined as follows: (i) if such conversion
occurs on or prior to the date for the distribution to the holders of
Rights of separate certificates evidencing such Rights (the "Distribution
Date"), the same number of Rights to which a holder of a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the number of Conversion Shares is entitled at
the time of such conversion in accordance with the terms and provisions of
the Rights; and (ii) if such conversion occurs after the Distribution
Date, the same number of Rights to which a holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock into which the principal amount of the Note so converted
was convertible immediately prior to the Distribution Date would have been
entitled on the Distribution Date in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Rights.
(d) In case Guarantor shall, by dividend or otherwise, at any
time make a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock exclusively in
cash (including any distributions of cash out of current or retained
earnings of Guarantor but excluding any cash that is distributed as part
of a distribution requiring a Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to
paragraph (c) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, together with
the sum of (x) the aggregate amount of any other distributions made
exclusively in cash to all holders of Common Stock within the 12 months
preceding the date fixed for determining the stockholders entitled to such
distribution (the "Distribution Record Date") and in respect of which no
Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) or (e) of this
Section or this paragraph (d) has been made plus (y) the aggregate amount
of all Excess Payments in respect of any tender offers or other negotiated
transactions by Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries for Common Stock
concluded within the 12 months preceding the Distribution Record Date and
in respect of which no Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to paragraphs
(c) or (e) of this Section or this paragraph (d) has been made, exceeds
15% of the product of the Current Market Price per share (determined as
provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the
Distribution Record Date multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the
8
Distribution Record Date (excluding shares held in the treasury of
Guarantor), the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall
equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction
contemplated by this paragraph (d) by a fraction of which the numerator
shall be the Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in
paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution
Record Date less the sum of the aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate
Excess Payments so distributed or paid within such 12 month period
(including, without limitation, the distribution in respect of which such
adjustment is being made) applicable to one share of Common Stock (which
shall be determined by dividing the sum of the aggregate amount of cash
and the aggregate Excess Payments so distributed or paid within such 12
months (including, without limitation, the distribution in respect of
which such adjustment is being made) by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the Distribution Record Date) and the denominator
shall be such Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in
paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the Distribution
Record Date, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the day following the Distribution Record Date. In
the event such distribution is not paid or made, the Conversion Price
shall be adjusted immediately to be the Conversion Price which would then
be in effect if such distribution had not occurred.
(e) In case a tender offer or other negotiated transaction
made by Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor for all or any portion of
the Common Stock shall be consummated, if an Excess Payment is made in
respect of such tender offer or other negotiated transaction and the
aggregate amount of such Excess Payment, together with the sum of (x) the
aggregate amount of any distributions, by dividend or otherwise, to all
holders of the Common Stock made in cash (including any distributions of
cash out of current or retained earnings of the Company, but excluding any
cash that is distributed as part of a distribution requiring a Conversion
Price adjustment pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section) within the 12
months preceding the date of payment of such current negotiated
transaction consideration or expiration of such current tender offer, as
the case may be (the "Purchase Date"), and as to which no adjustment in
the Conversion Price pursuant to paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) of this
Section or this paragraph (e) has been made plus (y) the aggregate amount
of all Excess Payments in respect of any other tender offers or other
negotiated transactions by Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries for Common
Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the Purchase Date and in
respect of which no adjustment in the Conversion Price pursuant to
paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section or this paragraph (e) has been made,
exceeds 15% of the product of the Current Market Price per share
(determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this Section) of the Common
Stock on the Purchase Date multiplied by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the Purchase Date (including any tendered shares but
excluding any shares held in the treasury of Guarantor), the Conversion
Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined
by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the
effectiveness of the Conversion Price reduction contemplated by this
paragraph (e) by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the Current
Market Price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of this
Section) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date less the sum of the
aggregate amount of cash and the aggregate Excess Payments so distributed
or paid within such 12 month period
9
(including, without limitation, the Excess Payment in respect of which
such adjustment is being made) applicable to one share of Common Stock
(which shall be determined by dividing the sum of the aggregate amount of
cash and the aggregate Excess Payments so distributed or paid within such
12 months (including, without limitation, the Excess Payment in respect of
which such adjustment is being made) by the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding on the Purchase Date and the denominator shall be such
Current Market Price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (f) of
this Section) of the Common Stock on the Purchase Date, such reduction to
become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day
following the Purchase Date.
(f) The "Current Market Price" per share of Common Stock on
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Daily Market Prices for
the shorter of (i) 30 consecutive Business Days ending on the last full
Trading Day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such
Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination or (ii) the period
commencing on the date next succeeding the first public announcement of
the issuance of such rights or such warrants or such other distribution or
such tender offer or other negotiated transaction through such last full
Trading Day on the exchange or market referred to in determining such
Daily Market Prices prior to the time of determination.
"Excess Payment" means the excess of (A) the aggregate of the
cash and fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors of
Guarantor, whose determination shall be conclusive evidence of such fair
market value and described in a Board Resolution of the Board of Directors
of Guarantor delivered to the Trustee) of other consideration paid by
Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the shares of Common
Stock acquired in a tender offer or other negotiated transaction over (B)
the Daily Market Price on the Trading Day immediately following the
completion of the tender offer or other negotiated transaction multiplied
by the number of acquired shares of Common Stock.
In any case in which this Section 5.6 shall require that an
adjustment be made immediately following a record date for an event,
Guarantor may elect to defer, until such event, issuing to the Holder of
any Note converted after such record date the shares of Common Stock and
other Capital Stock of Guarantor issuable upon such conversion over and
above the shares of Common Stock and other Capital Stock of Guarantor
issuable upon such conversion on the basis of the Conversion Price prior
to adjustment; and, in lieu of the shares the issuance of which is so
deferred, Guarantor shall issue or cause its transfer agents to issue due
bills or other appropriate evidence of the right to receive such shares."
Section 2.7. Amendment to Section 5.7 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.7 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.7. No Adjustment. No adjustment in the Conversion Price
shall be required until cumulative adjustments amount to 1% or more of the
Conversion Price as last adjusted; provided, however, that any adjustments
which by reason of this Section 5.7 are not required to be made shall be
carried forward and taken into account in any
10
subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article V shall be made
to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the
case may be. No adjustment need be made for rights to purchase Common
Stock pursuant to a Guarantor plan for reinvestment of dividends or
interest. No adjustment need be made for a change in the par value or no
par value of the Common Stock."
Section 2.8. Amendment to Section 5.8 of the First Supplemental Indenture.
Section 5.8 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to read in its
entirety as follows:
"SECTION 5.8. Other Adjustments. In the event that, as a result of
an adjustment made pursuant to Section 5.6 above, the Holder of any Note
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall become entitled to receive any
shares of Capital Stock of Guarantor other than shares of its Common
Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable
upon conversion of any Notes shall be subject to adjustment from time to
time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the
provisions with respect to Common Stock contained in this Article V.
In the event that any shares of Common Stock (or securities
convertible into Common Stock) issuable upon exercise of any of the
rights, options or warrants referred to in Section 5.6(b) and Section
5.6(c) hereof are not delivered prior to the expiration of such rights,
options, or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to the
Conversion Price which would otherwise have been in effect had the
adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been
made on the basis of delivery of only the number of such rights, options
and warrants which were actually exercised."
Section 2.9. Amendment to Section 5.12 of the First Supplemental
Indenture. Section 5.12 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:

supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 5.13; or
(c) there is a dissolution or liquidation of Guarantor;
the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the
Registrar's books and the Trustee a notice stating the proposed record or
effective date, as the case may be. The Company shall mail the notice at
least 15 days before such date; however, failure to mail such notice or
any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction
referred to in clause (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 5.12."
Section 2.10. Amendment to Section 5.13 of the First Supplemental
Indenture. Section 5.13 of the First Supplemental Indenture is hereby amended to
read in its entirety as follows:
11
"SECTION 5.13. Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers,
Continuances or Sales on Conversion Privilege. If any of the following
shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Notes (other than a
change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par
value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii)
any consolidation or merger to which Guarantor is a party other than a
merger in which Guarantor is the continuing corporation and which does not
result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name,
or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, outstanding
shares of Common Stock, (iii) any continuance in a new jurisdiction which
results in a reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name,
or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to
par value) in, outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (iv) any sale or
conveyance of all or substantially all of the property of Guarantor, then
Guarantor, or such successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may
be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change,
consolidation, merger, continuance, sale or conveyance, execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee providing that the Holder of each Note then
outstanding shall have the right to convert such Note into the kind and
amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including
cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation,
merger, continuance, sale or conveyance by a holder of the number of
shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Note
immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
continuance, sale or conveyance. Such supplemental indenture shall provide
for adjustments of the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly
equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion
Price provided for in this Article V. The foregoing, however, shall not in
any way affect the right a Holder of a Note may otherwise have, pursuant
to clause (ii) of the last sentence of subsection (c) of Section 5.6, to
receive Rights upon conversion of a Note. If, in the case of any such
consolidation, merger, continuance, sale or conveyance, the stock or other
securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder
of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property
of a corporation or other business entity other than the successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger,
continuance, sale or conveyance, then such supplemental indenture shall
also be executed by such other corporation or other business entity and
shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the
Holders of the Notes as the Board of Directors of the Company shall
reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing. The provision of
this Section 5.13 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, continuances, sales or conveyances.
In the event Guarantor shall execute a supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Section 5.13, the Company shall promptly file with the
Trustee (x) an Officers' Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor,
the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including
cash) receivable by Holders of the Notes upon the conversion of their
Notes after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger,
continuance, sale or conveyance and any adjustment to be made with respect
thereto and (y) an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions
precedent relating to such
12
transaction have been complied with, and shall promptly mail notice
thereof to all holders."
Section 2.11. Amendment to Section 5.14 of the First Supplemental
Indenture. The second sentence of Section 5.14 of the First Supplemental
Indenture is amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value or
any securities or assets issued upon conversion of the Notes and the
Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure of either Guarantor or
the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article V."
ARTICLE 3
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 3.1. Additional Event of Default With Respect to Notes. Default in
the performance, or breach, of any covenant of Guarantor contained in this
Second Supplemental Indenture and the continuance of such default or breach for
a period of 60 days after written notice has been given to the Company and
Guarantor by the Trustee or to Guarantor, the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding shall constitute an additional Event of Default with respect to the
Notes.
ARTICLE 4
CERTAIN COVENANTS OF THE GUARANTOR
SECTION 4.1. The Guarantor hereby covenants and warrants that (a)
immediately after the Effective Time, no condition or event shall exist which
constitutes or would, after notice or lapse of time or both, constitute a
default or an Event of Default (as defined in the Indenture), (b) it has
complied, or has caused the Company to comply, and will comply, or will cause
the Company to comply, with all applicable provisions of Article Five of the
Base Indenture, as amended by the provisions of this Second Supplemental
Indenture, and (c) it has been authorized by its Board of Directors, to execute
this Second Supplemental Indenture.
ARTICLE 5
GUARANTY OF NOTES
SECTION 5.1. Guaranty of Notes. The First Supplemental Indenture is hereby
amended to add the following provisions as a new Article 8 to the First
Supplemental Indenture to be inserted immediately following Article 7 of the
First Supplemental Indenture. Article 8 of the First Supplemental Indenture
shall apply to the Notes only.
"ARTICLE 8
SUBORDINATED GUARANTY OF NOTES
SECTION 8.1. Guaranty. Subject to the provisions of this Article 8,
the Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, on a subordinated basis
as set forth more fully in this Article 8, to each holder of a Note
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
13
in accordance with this Indenture (i) the due and punctual payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including interest on other
amounts which may accrue after the filing against the Company of a
petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"),
whether or not the obligation to pay interest on such amounts shall be
enforceable against the Company) on such Note, when and as the same shall
become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise,
the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of,
premium and interest, if any, on such Note, to the extent lawful, and the
due and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to
the holders or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms of such Note
and of this Indenture, and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of
payment or renewal of any such Note or any of such other obligations, that
the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance
with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise. A demand for payment under this Article 8 shall
not be effective prior to forty-eight (48) hours after a demand upon the
Company for full and complete payment of all amounts due and payable under
the Notes, unless such demand upon the Company shall be stayed by
operation of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. In all other
respects, the Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall
be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected
by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Note or
this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Note or
this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the
Company with respect thereto, by the holder of such Note or the Trustee,
or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives
diligence, presentment, filing of claims with a court in the event of
merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding
first against the Company, the benefit of discussion, protest or notice
with respect to any such Note or the debt evidenced thereby and all
demands whatsoever (except as specified above), and covenants, that this
Guaranty will not be discharged as to any such Note except by payment in
full of the principal thereof, premium if any, and interest thereon. The
Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand,
and the Noteholder and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of
the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in
Article 5 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Guaranty
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby; provided
that notice of such acceleration has been given to the Guarantor by the
Trustee, and (ii) in the event of any declarations of acceleration of such
obligations as provided in Article 8 hereof, such obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the
Guarantor for the purpose of this Guaranty.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the holders of
any Notes against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to the
Noteholder by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty;
provided that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to
receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of
subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all
the Notes shall have been paid in full and until all amounts payable under
any Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full.
14
SECTION 8.2. Subordination Of Guarantee To Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness. The Guarantor covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article 8, the indebtedness
represented by the Notes and the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on each and all of the Notes are hereby expressly
made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.
This Article 8 shall constitute a continuing offer to all persons
who, in reliance upon such provisions, become holders of, or continue to
hold, Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, and such provisions are made for the
benefit of the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, and such holders
are made obliges hereunder and they and/or each of them may enforce such
provisions.
SECTION 8.3. Payment Over Of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. In the
event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor for the
benefit of creditors, marshaling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar proceedings of the Guarantor (each such event herein sometimes
referred to as a "Guarantor Proceeding"), then except in connection with
the consolidation or merger of the Guarantor or its liquidation or
dissolution following the conveyance, transfer or lease of its properties
and assets substantially as an entirety, upon the terms and conditions
described in Article Eight of the Base Indenture, the holders of Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled to receive payment in full, in
cash or cash equivalents, of all amounts due or to become due or in
respect of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of any
Note are entitled to receive any payment of principal of, and premium, if
any, or interest on the Notes or on account of the purchase or redemption
or other acquisition of Notes by the Guarantor ("Guarantor Securities
Payment"), and the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be
entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any payment
or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the Notes in
any such Guarantor Proceeding.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section 8.3, the Trustee or the Holder of any Note shall have received any
payment or distribution or assets of the Guarantor of any kind or
character, whether in cash, property or securities, before all the
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, then such payment or
distribution shall be held in trust for the holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness and shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee
in bankruptcy or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of
the Guarantor for application to the payment of all the Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all the
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of the Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness.
For purposes of this Article 8 only, the words "any payment or
distribution of any kind of character" and "cash, property or securities"
shall not be deemed to include a payment or distribution of equity or
subordinated securities of the Guarantor provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment or of any other corporation provided for by
such plan of reorganization or readjustment that, in the case of
subordinated securities,
15
are subordinated in right of payment to all then outstanding Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness to at least the same extent as the Notes, as the case
may be, are so subordinated as provided in this Article 8.
SECTION 8.4. No Payment When Certain Guarantor Senior Indebtedness
In Default. In the event that any Guarantor Senior Default Payment (as
defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor
Securities Payment shall be made unless and until such Guarantor Senior
Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceases to
exist or all amounts then due and payable in respect of the Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness or other obligations that are the subject of such
Guarantor Senior Payment Default shall be been paid in full. For purposes
hereof, a "Guarantor Senior Payment Default" shall be been deemed to have
occurred in (1) the principal of (or premium, if any), or interest or
other amounts on, Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is not paid when due and
any applicable grace period with respect to such default has ended and
such default has not been cured or waived or ceased to exist, (2) the
maturity of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated because
of a default.
In the event that any Guarantor Senior Nonmonetary Default (as
defined below) shall have occurred and be continuing, then, upon the
receipt by the Guarantor and the Trustee of written notice of such
Guarantor Senior Nonmonetary Default from an authorized Person on behalf
of any holder of Guarantor Designated Senior Indebtedness, no Guarantor
Securities Payment shall be made during the period (the "Guarantor Payment
Blockage Period") commencing on the date of receipt of such written notice
(the "Guarantor Blockage Notice") and ending on the earliest or (i) the
180th day after the date of such receipt of the Guarantor Blockage Notice,
(ii) the date, if any, on which the Guarantor Designated Senior
Indebtedness to which such default relates is discharged or such default
is waived or otherwise cured and (iii) the date, if any, on which such
Guarantor Payment Blockage Period shall have been terminated by written
notice to the Guarantor or the Trustee from the Person who gave the
Guarantor Blockage Notice. Not more than one Guarantor Blockage Notice may
be given in any consecutive 365-day period, irrespective of the number of
Guarantor Senior Nonmonetary Defaults which occur during such period. No
Guarantor Senior Nonmonetary Default that existed or was continuing on the
date of commencement of any Guarantor Payment Blockage Period with respect
to the Guarantor Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Guarantor
Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis for the
commencement of a subsequent Guarantor Payment Blockage Period unless such
Guarantor Senior Nonmonetary Default shall have been cured or waived for a
period of not less than 90 consecutive days. For purposes hereof,
"Guarantor Senior Nonmonetary Default" means the occurrence or existence
of any event, circumstance, condition or state of facts that, by the terms
of any instrument pursuant to which any Guarantor Designated Senior
Indebtedness is outstanding, permits one or more holders of such Guarantor
Designated Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on behalf of the
holders thereof) to declare such Guarantor Designated Senior Indebtedness
due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise become due
and payable, other than a Guarantor Senior Payment Default.
16
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor
shall make any payment to the Trustee or any Holder prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section 8.4, such payment shall be held in
trust for the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and shall be paid
over and delivered forthwith to the holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay in full all
the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 8.5. Payment Permitted If No Default. Nothing contained in
this Article 8 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes shall, at
any time except during the pendency of any Guarantor Proceeding referred
to in Section 8.3 or under the conditions described in Section 8.3,
prevent (a) the Guarantor from making Guarantor Securities Payments, or
(b) the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it
hereunder to Guarantor Securities Payments or the retention of such
payment by the Holders.
SECTION 8.6. Subrogation To Rights Of Holders Of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness. Subject to the payment in full of all Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the Notes shall be subrogated
to the rights of the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to
receive payments and distributions of cash, property and securities
applicable to the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness until the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall be paid in full. For
purposes of such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders
of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities
to which the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee would be entitled except
for the provisions of this Article 8, and not payments over pursuant to
the provisions of this Article 8 to the holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness by Holders of the Notes or the Trustee, shall, as among the
Guarantor, its creditors other than holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes be deemed to be a payment or
distribution of the Guarantor to or on account of the Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness. Neither the Holders or the Notes nor the Trustee shall have
any claim against the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness for any
impairment of the subrogation rights herein granted arising out of any
release of Guarantor Liens securing the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.
SECTION 8.7. Provisions Solely To Define Relative Rights. The
provisions of this Article 8 are and are intended solely for the purpose
of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the
holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing
contained in this Article 8 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes
is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Guarantor, its creditors
other than holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the
Notes, the obligation of the Guarantor, which is absolute and
unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article 8 of
the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally
with all other general obligations of the Guarantor) to pay to the Holders
of the Notes the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Notes as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Guarantor of
the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Guarantor other than the
holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or
the Holder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted
and
17
applicable by law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the
rights, if any, under this Article 8 of the holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Trustee or such Holders. The holders of Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this
Article 8 against the Company, the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee.
SECTION 8.8. Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of a
Note by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 8 and appoints the
Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
SECTION 8.9. No Waiver Of Subordination Provisions. No right of any
present or future holder of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to enforce
subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the
Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such
holder, or by any noncompliance by the Guarantor with the terms,
provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge
thereof any such Holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing
paragraph, the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as the case may
be, at any time from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the
Trustee of the Holders of the Notes, without incurring responsibility to
the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes and without impairing or releasing
the subordination provided in this Article 8 or the obligations hereunder
of the Holders of the Notes to the holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness, as the case may be, do any one or more of the following: (i)
change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment
of, or renew or alter Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be,
or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness, as the case may be, or any instrument evidencing the same or
any agreement under which Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as the case may
be, is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with
any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the
collection of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain
from exercising any rights against the Guarantor and other Person.
SECTION 8.10. Notice To Trustee. The Guarantor shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Guarantor which
would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect
of the Notes and of any subsequent cure or waiver thereof. Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article 8 or any other provision of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge or the existence of any
facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Notes, unless and until the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Guarantor or a holder of the Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee or agent therefor, and prior to
the receipt of any such
18
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, shall be entitled in all respect to assume that no such
facts exist.
Subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee
shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent therefor) to establish that such
notice has been given by a holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (or a
trustee or agent therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of
any Person as a holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as the case may
be, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article
8, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, held by such Person, the extent
of which is such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person
under this Article 8, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to
the right of such Person to receive such payment.
SECTION 8.11. Reliance On Judicial Order Or Certificate Of
Liquidation Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the
Guarantor referred to in this Article 8, the Trustee shall, subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, and the Holders of the Notes hall
be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction in a Guarantor Proceeding, or a certificate of the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee
for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Notes, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution, the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness
and other indebtedness of the Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 8.
SECTION 8.12. Trustee Not Fiduciary For Holders Of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness. Except to the extent of its obligations under the
penultimate paragraph of Section 8.3 and the last paragraph of Section
8.4, the Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any
such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute
to Holders of Notes or to the Guarantor or to any other Person cash,
property or securities to which any holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 8 or otherwise.
The Trustee's duties with respect to holders of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness are limited to those specifically set forth in this
Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be construed by
any provision hereof.
SECTION 8.13. Rights Of Trustee As Holder Of Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness; Preservation Of Trustee's Rights. The Trustee in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article 8 with respect to any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness which may at
any time be held by it, to the same extent as any
19
other holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
SECTION 8.14. Applicability To Paying Agents. In case at any time
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall be been appointed by the
Guarantor and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this
Article 8 shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be
construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its
meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article 8 in addition to or in place of the Trustee;
provided, however, that this Section 8.14 shall not apply to the Guarantor
or any Affiliate of the Guarantor if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying
Agent.
SECTION 8.15. Defeasance Of This Article 8. The subordination of the
Notes provided by this Article 8 is expressly made subject to the
provisions for defeasance or covenant defeasance in Article Twelve of the
Base Indenture and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon
the effectiveness of any such defeasance or covenant defeasance, the Notes
then outstanding shall thereupon cease to be subordinated pursuant to this
Article 8.
SECTION 8.16. Article 8 Not To Prevent Events Of Default. The
failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest on the
Notes by reason of any provision of this Article 8 shall not be construed
as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Notes. Nothing contained in this Article 8 shall limit the right of the
Trustee or the Holders of Notes, to take any action to accelerate the
maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 502 of the Base Indenture or to
pursue any rights or remedies hereunder; provided that all Guarantor
Senior Indebtedness then or thereafter due or declared to be due shall
first be paid in full before such Holders or the Trustee are entitled to
receive any payment from the Guarantor of principal of or interest on the
Notes.
SECTION 8.17. Execution of Guaranty. To evidence their guaranty to
the Noteholders specified in Section 8.1, the Guarantor hereby agrees to
execute the Guaranty in substantially the form above recited to be
endorsed on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee after the
Effective Time or, in lieu thereof, stamp each such Note with an
appropriate notation on such Note. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its
Guaranty set forth in Section 8.1 shall remain in full force and effect
notwithstanding any failure to include such endorsement or notation of
such Guaranty on each Note. If applicable, the Guaranty shall be signed on
behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, President or a Vice
President, prior to the authentication of the Note on which it is
endorsed, and the delivery of such Note by the Trustee, after the
authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the
Guaranty on behalf of the Guarantor. Such signatures upon the Guaranty may
be manual or facsimile signatures of the present, past or any future such
officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guaranty, and
in case any such officer who shall have signed the Guaranty shall cease to
be such officer before the Note on which such Guaranty is endorsed shall
have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the
Company, such Note nevertheless may be authenticated
20
and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed the Guaranty
had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.
SECTION 8.18. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms.
(a) Except as set forth in Article __ of the Base Indenture,
nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of the Guarantor with or into the Company or
shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of the Guarantor as
an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to the Company. Upon any such
consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Guaranty given by the
Guarantor shall no longer have any force or effect.
(b) Nothing contained in this Indenture (including, without
limitation, Section 8.17(a) hereof) or in any of the Notes shall prevent
any consolidation or merger of the Guarantor with or into a corporation or
corporations other than the Company (whether or not affiliated with the
Guarantor), or successive consolidations or mergers in which the Guarantor
or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall
prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of the Guarantor as an
entirety or substantially as an entirety, to a corporation other than the
Company (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor) authorized to
acquire and operate the same; provided, however, that the Guarantor hereby
covenants and agrees, that, except as provided in Section 8.17(a), upon
any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Guaranty endorsed
on the Notes, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all
of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the
Guarantor, shall be expressly assumed (in the event that the Guarantor is
not the surviving corporation in the merger), by supplemental indenture
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the
Trustee, by the corporation formed by such consolidation, or into which
the Guarantor shall have been merged, or by the corporation which shall
have acquired such property. In case of any such consolidation, merger,
sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor corporation,
by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and
satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guaranty endorsed upon the
Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and
conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such
successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the
Guarantor, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a
Guarantor. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed the
Guaranty to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the

Section 6.6. Notice of Second Supplemental Indenture. After the Effective

Notes then outstanding and all Notes presented or delivered to the Trustee on

the effect to the Second Supplemental Indenture or, in lieu thereof, stamped
with a notation substantially as follows:
The principal amount of this Note has become convertible into
shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Sanmina
Corporation, at an initial conversion price per share of $41.35,
such conversion price being subject to certain adjustments
23
as set forth in the Indenture. Reference herein to "Common Stock of
the Company" or the "Company's Common Stock" shall be deemed to be
to the Common Stock of Sanmina Corporation. The payment of principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes has been guaranteed
by Sanmina Corporation on a subordinated basis as set forth in the
Indenture. The Indenture and a Supplemental Indenture No. 1, each
dated as of March 15, 2000, referred to in this Note has been
amended by a Second Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December __,
2001, to provide for such convertibility and guarantee. Reference is
hereby made to said Second Supplemental Indenture, copies of which
are on file with Sanmina Corporation and SCI Systems, Inc., for a

hereunder.
The Company agrees to provide the Trustee with a stamp or means of
reproducing the above legend on the Notes without materially obscuring the text

Anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall not at any time be under any responsibility to acquire or cause any Note
now or hereafter outstanding to be presented or delivered to it for any purpose
provided for in this Section 6.6.
Section 6.7. Multiple Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies
of this Second Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original,
but all of them together represent the same agreement. One signed copy is enough
to prove this Second Supplemental Indenture.
