SECTION 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.
-----------------------------
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or
taken by
-17-
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and the
Guarantors. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such
execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by
law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing
such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved
in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the
same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Issuer, or the
Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Security.
The Issuer or the Guarantors may set any day as a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give, make
-18-
or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or
taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided that the Issuer may not
--------
set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant
to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series
on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on
--------
or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from setting a new
record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set
pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall
automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect),
and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any
action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Issuer, at its own
expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders
and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to
each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in
Section 106.
The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join
in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of
acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute
proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in
Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such
--------
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by
-19-
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee, at the Issuer's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the
Issuer in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the
manner set forth in Section 106.
With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the
"Expiration Date" and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any
earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless
--------
notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant
to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration
Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as
provided in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date
shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.
Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take
any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with
regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such Security or by one or
more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment
with regard to all or any part of such principal amount.
SECTION 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Issuer.
------------------------------------
-20-
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to
be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,

Issuer or by the Guarantors, as the case may be.
SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
-------------------------
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
-21-
In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by
mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the
Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose
hereunder.
SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.
---------------------------------
If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a
provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be
a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If
any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the
Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter
provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to
be excluded, as the case may be.
SECTION 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.
----------------------------------------
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Issuer or the
Guarantors shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture.
---------------------
-22-
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors
hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
SECTION 112. GOVERNING LAW.
-------------
THIS INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES AND THE GUARANTEES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.
--------------
In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated
Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision
of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in
lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any)
need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business
Day with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall
--------
accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date
or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated
Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall
bear interest at the rate of ....% per annum (to the extent that the payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due

principal or premium shall be payable on demand. Any such interest on overdue
principal or premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate
of 2% per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest on interest
shall be legally enforceable), from the date of such demand until the amount so
demanded is paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue
interest shall be payable on demand.]

-----------------
GUARANTEE
For value received, Regency Realty Corporation, Regency Office
Partnership, L.P., RRC FL Five, Inc., and RRC Acquisitions, Inc., as Guarantors
(the "Guarantors") hereby unconditionally guarantee to the Holder of the
Security upon which these Guarantees are endorsed, and to the Trustee on
-33-
behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Security when and as the same shall become
due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for
redemption, purchase or otherwise, according to the terms thereof and of the
Indenture referred to therein. In case of the failure of the Issuer punctually
to make any such payment, the Guarantors hereby agree to cause such payment to
be made punctually when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at
the Stated Maturity or by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or
otherwise, and as if such payment were made by the Issuer.
The Guarantors hereby agree that their respective obligations
hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or
enforceability of such Security or the Indenture, the absence of any action to
enforce the same or any release or amendment or waiver of any term of any other
Guarantee of, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other
Guarantee of all or of any of the Securities, the election by the Trustee or any
of the Holders in any proceeding under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the
application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing or grant
of a security interest by the Issuer, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364
of the Bankruptcy Code, the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy
Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Trustee or any of the Holders
for payment of any of the Securities, any waiver or consent by the Holder of
such Security or by the Trustee or either of them with respect to any provisions
thereof or of the Indenture, the obtaining of any judgment against the Issuer or
any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The
Guarantors hereby waive the benefits of diligence, presentment, demand of
payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of the Holders exhaust any
right or take any action against the Issuer or any other Person, filing of
claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any
right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with
respect to such Security or the Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands
whatsoever, and covenant that these Guarantees will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security and in these
Guarantees. The Guarantors hereby agree that, in the event of a default in
payment of principal (or
-34-
premium, if any) or interest on such Security, whether at their Stated Maturity,
by acceleration, call for redemption, purchase or otherwise, legal proceedings
may be instituted by the Trustee on behalf of, or by, the Holder of such
Security, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture,
directly against the Guarantors to enforce these Guarantees without first
proceeding against the Issuer. The Guarantors agree that if, after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee or any
of the Holders are prevented by applicable law from exercising their respective
rights to accelerate the maturity of the Securities, to collect interest on the
Securities, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to
the Securities, the Guarantors agree to pay to the Trustee for the account of
the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have been due
and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised by the
Trustee or any of the Holders.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of these
Guarantees or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the Guarantees of the
Guarantors, which are absolute and unconditional, of the due and punctual
payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the Security upon
which these Guarantees are endorsed.
The Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of this
Security against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantors on
account of this Security pursuant to the provisions of their respective
Guarantees or the Indenture; provided, however, that the Guarantors 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 (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Security and all other Securities issued under the Indenture
shall have been paid in full.
These Guarantees shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for
liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be
appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer's assets, and shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated,
as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Securities of
this series is, pursuant to applicable
-35-
law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned
by any obligee on the Securities of this series whether as a "voidable
preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities of this
series shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.
All terms used in these Guarantees which are defined in the Indenture
referred to in the Security upon which these Guarantees are endorsed shall have
the meanings assigned to them in such Indenture.
These Guarantees shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose
until the certificate of authentication on the Security upon which these
Guarantees are endorsed shall have been executed by the Trustee under the
Indenture by manual signature.
Reference is made to Article Twelve of the Indenture for further
provisions with respect to this Guarantee.
These Guarantees shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.
----------------------------------------------
-40-
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the
Chairman of the Board, the President or one of the Vice Presidents of its
general partner, under the corporate seal of such general partner reproduced
thereon and the Guarantee to be endorsed on the Securities shall be executed on
behalf of the Guarantors by their Chairmen of the Board, their Presidents or one
of their Vice-Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the
Securities may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Issuer or the Guarantors shall
bind the Issuer or the Guarantors, notwithstanding that such individuals or
any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Issuer may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Issuer having a Guarantee endorsed thereon executed by the Guarantors to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Issuer Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities with the Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed
thereon; and the Trustee in accordance with such Issuer Order shall authenticate
and deliver such Securities with the Guarantees of the Guarantors endorsed
thereon as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. If the form or terms
of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or
more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating
such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this
Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to
receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon,
an Opinion of Counsel stating,
(a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant
to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or
pursuant to Board Resolution as
-41-
permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(c) that such Securities have been duly and validly issued in
accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and are entitled to all the
rights and benefits set forth herein; and
(d) that all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery
of such Securities have been complied with and that such Securities, when
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel,
will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to
general equity principles.
If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 301 or the Issuer Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
-42-
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Issuer,
and the Issuer shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as
provided in Section 310, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall
be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall
never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.
--------------------
Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Issuer may execute and the Guarantors may execute, and upon Issuer Order the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise pro produced, in any
authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities
in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Issuer will
cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable
delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at any office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section
1002, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one
or more temporary Securities of any series, the Issuer shall execute and the
Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same
-43-
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and tenor.
SECTION 305. Global Securities.
-----------------
(a) Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary designated by the Issuer for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global
Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no
transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name
of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee
thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Issuer that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B)
has ceased to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act,
and in either case the Issuer fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90
days, (ii) the Issuer executes and delivers to the Trustee an Issuer Order
stating that it elects to cause the issuance of the Securities in certificated
form and that all Global Securities shall be exchanged in whole for Securities
that are not Global Securities (in which case such exchange shall be effected by
the Trustee), (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default or any Event which after notice or lapse of time or both would be an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities, or (iv) there shall exist such
circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been
specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301.
(c) If any Global Security is to be exchanged for other Securities or
canceled in whole, it shall be surrendered by or on behalf of the Depositary or
its nominee to the Trustee, as Security Registrar, for exchange or cancellation
as provided in this Article Three. If any Global Security is to be exchanged for
other Securities or canceled in part, or if another Security is to be exchanged
in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Security, then
either (i) such Global Security shall be so surrendered
-44-
for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Article Three or (ii) the
principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the
portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount
of such other Security to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as
the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of
the Trustee, as Security Registrar, whereupon the Trustee, in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures, shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized
representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such
surrender or adjustment of a Global Security, the Trustee shall, as otherwise
provided in this Article Three, authenticate and deliver any Securities issuable
in exchange for such Global Security (or any portion thereof) to or upon the
order of the Issuer, and registered in such names as may be directed by, the
Depositary or its authorized representative. Upon the request of the Trustee in
connection with the occurrence of any of the events specified in the preceding
paragraph, the Issuer shall promptly make available to the Trustee a reasonable
supply of Securities that are not in the form of Global Securities. The Trustee
shall be entitled to rely upon any order, direction or request of the Depositary
or its authorized representative which is given or made pursuant to this Article
Three if such order, direction or request is given or made in accordance with
the Applicable Procedures.
(d) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of
transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion
thereof, whether pursuant to this Article Three or otherwise, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security,
unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the
Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.
(e) The Depositary or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global
Security, shall be the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the
Indenture and the Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Security shall hold such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures.
Accordingly, any such owner's beneficial interest in a Global Security will be
shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through,
records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Agent Members.
-45-
SECTION 306. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.
------------------------------------------ --------
The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee a register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein
sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for
the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities.
The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein
provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a
series at an office or agency of the Issuer designated pursuant to Section 1002
for such purpose, and provided that the other requirements of this Section 306
have been satisfied, the Issuer shall execute and the Guarantors shall execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations, of a like tenor and aggregate principal amount and
bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.
At the option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of
this Section 306, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations, of a like tenor and
aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be
required by this Indenture, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange,
the Issuer shall execute and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantors,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
-46-
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange.
Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer
or for exchange shall (if so required by the Issuer or the Security Registrar)
be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Issuer and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to the Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other
than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1108 not involving any transfer.
If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor)
are to be redeemed in part, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that
series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1104
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed
in part.
SECTION 307. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.
------------------------------------------------
If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer
shall execute and the Guarantors shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Guarantors and the
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them
-47-
to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall execute and the Guarantors
shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the
same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Issuer or the Guarantors in
its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Issuer
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in
lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to
the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.
SECTION 308. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
----------------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall
be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the
-48-
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.
Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is
not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein
called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder
on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Issuer, at its election in each case,
as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Issuer may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The
Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of
such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the
same time the Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall
be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to
the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days
after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Issuer of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at
the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special
Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Holder at his
-49-
address as it appears in the Security Register, not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be
payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
(2) The Issuer may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful
manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed,
and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange,
if, after notice given by the Issuer to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued
and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
SECTION 309. Persons Deemed Owners.
---------------------
Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer,
the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the
Guarantors, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 308) interest on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be
overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Issuer, the Guarantors, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
-50-
SECTION 310. Cancellation.
------------
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of
transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Issuer or the Guarantors may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer or the Guarantors may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to
any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Issuer has not issued and sold, and
all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as
directed by a Issuer Order.
SECTION 311. Computation of Interest.
-----------------------
Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
ARTICLE FOUR
Satisfaction and Discharge
SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
---------------------------------------
This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein
expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the
Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when
(1) either
-51-
(A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and
delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced
or paid as provided in Section 307 and (ii) Securities
for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer
and thereafter repaid to the Issuer or discharged from
such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(B) all such Securities not theretofore delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation
(i) have become due and payable, or
(ii) will become due and payable at their Stated
Maturity within one year, or
(iii) are to be called for redemption within one
year under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by
the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of
the Issuer,
and the Issuer or the Guarantors, in the case of (i), (ii)
or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with
the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an
amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium, if
any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case
of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the
Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;
-52-
(2) the Issuer or the Guarantors has paid or
caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by
the Issuer or the Guarantors; and
(3) the Issuer has delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each
stating that all conditions precedent herein provided
for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture have been complied with.
Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to
this Article Four, the obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors to the
Trustee under Section 607, the obligations of the Trustee to any Authenticating
Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Sections 307 and 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall
survive.
SECTION 402. Application of Trust Money.
--------------------------
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust
and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuer or the Guarantors acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited
with the Trustee.
ARTICLE FIVE

type by the Issuer or any such Guarantor with a principal
amount then outstanding, individually or in the aggregate,
in excess of $10 million, whether such Indebtedness now
exists or shall hereafter be created, which default or
defaults shall constitute a failure to pay any portion of
the principal of such Indebtedness when due and payable
after the expiration of any applicable grace period with
respect thereto or shall have resulted in such Indebtedness
becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date
on which it would otherwise have become due and payable; or
(7) a final judgment or final judgments for the payment
of money are entered against the Issuer or any Guarantor in
an aggregate amount in excess of $10 million by a court or

Issuer or any such Guarantor to the entry of a decree or
order for relief in respect of the Issuer or any Guarantor
in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable
Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy
or insolvency case or proceeding against the Issuer or any

such Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action; or
(10) any other Event of Default provided with respect
to Securities of that
-56-
series pursuant to Section 301 of this Indenture.
SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
--------------------------------------------------
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in
Section 501(8) or (9)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities
of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to the Issuer (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and any accrued
interest shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(8) or (9) with respect to Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that
series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration
or other Act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due
and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Issuer and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
(1) the Issuer or the Guarantors has paid or deposited
with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue interest on all Securities of
that series,
-57-
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on)
any Securities of that series which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and,
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful,
any interest thereon at the rate or rates provided by
the Securities of that Series,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest
is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate
or rates provided by the Securities of that Series, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder
in respect of that series of Securities and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel in
respect of that series of Securities;
and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities
of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal
of Securities of that series which have become due solely by
such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
as provided in Section 513.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Issuer covenants that if
(1) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and
payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
or
-58-
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity
thereof,
the Issuer and the Guarantors will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for
the benefit of the Holders of Securities of that series, the whole amount then
due and payable on Securities of that series for principal (and premium, if any)
and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any
overdue interest, at the rate or rates provided by the Securities of that
series, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to
cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel.
If the Issuer or the Guarantors fails to pay such amounts forthwith
upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due
and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may
enforce the same against the Issuer, the Guarantors or any other obligor upon
the Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the
manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer, the Guarantors or any
other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
--------------------------------
In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Issuer or the
Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its
creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
-59-
proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust
Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in
any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect
and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 607.

Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided,

Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series;

of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of
such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such
Holders.

Interest.

determination in such proceeding, the Issuer,
-62-
the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and

remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
----------------------------
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security
to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or
an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law
to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as
often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case
may be.

under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series
affected.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event
of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every
purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 514. Undertaking for Costs.
---------------------
In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant (other than the
Trustee) in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and
may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the
extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided, that neither this Section
--------
nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require
such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the
Issuer.
-64-
SECTION 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
--------------------------------
The Issuer and the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer and
the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly
waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not
hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against

application by the Issuer of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer or the Guarantors, in its individual
or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and,
subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Issuer with the
same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent
any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or such other agent.
SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust.
-------------------
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Issuer or the Guarantors.
SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.
------------------------------
The Issuer agrees
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable
compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which

regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture

advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith;
and

connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or

defending itself against any claim or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.
SECTION 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.

meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent
permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series or a trustee under the Indenture dated July
20, 1998 between the Issuer, the guarantors named therein and the Trustee.
SECTION 609. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

Securities of one or more other series. Each Trustee shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and
to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee with respect to the
-69-
Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.
SECTION 610. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
-------------------------------------------------
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee under Section 611.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities
of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer. If an
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to

resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to
the Issuer.

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608
after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any ▇▇▇▇▇▇ who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months, or

Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
-70-
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation,

may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to
Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,

respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trustees.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Issuer, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Issuer and the Guarantors
and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith
upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee
appointed by the Issuer. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the Holders and
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder who has been
a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series.

Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
SECTION 611. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
--------------------------------------
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer and the Guarantors and to the
retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee;
but, on request of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder. Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer, or the
Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts.
In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities,
shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
-72-
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in
the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Issuer or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.
Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer and the
Guarantors shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may
be.
No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time
of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under
this Article.
SECTION 612. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
-73-
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the bond administrative
portion of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor
of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified
and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any
Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then
in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities.
SECTION 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Issuer or the
-------------------------------------------------------
Guarantors.
----------
If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Issuer or
the Guarantors (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of
claims against the Issuer or the Guarantors (or any such other obligor).
SECTION 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.
-----------------------------------
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original
issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Issuer and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
-74-
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating
Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Issuer. The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof
to such Authenticating Agent and to the Issuer. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Issuer and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities
of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.
-75-
The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 607.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternative
certificate of authentication in the following form:
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant
or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

ARTICLE TEN
Covenants
SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.
------------------------------------------
The Issuer covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the
terms of the Securities and this Indenture.
SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
-------------------------------
-85-
The Issuer and the Guarantors will maintain for any series of
Securities in Jacksonville, Florida or in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of
New York, an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Issuer in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served. The Issuer and the Guarantors will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or
agency. If at any time the Issuer or the Guarantors shall fail to maintain any
such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Issuer and the
Guarantors hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
The Issuer may also from time to time designate one or more other
offices or agencies (in or outside Jacksonville, Florida or the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York) where the Securities of one or more series may
be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to
time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
-------- -------
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Issuer of its obligation to maintain
an office or agency in Jacksonville, Florida or in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, for such purposes. The Issuer will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.
SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.
-------------------------------------------------
If the Issuer or the Guarantors shall at any time act as its own
Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any of
the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium,
if any) or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will
-86-
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
Whenever the Issuer shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.
The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in
which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Issuer (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.
The Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Issuer or the Guarantors or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held
by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by
the Issuer or the Guarantors or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any
Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Issuer or the Guarantors, in trust for the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request, or (if
then held by the
-87-
Issuer or the Guarantors) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to
the Issuer and the Guarantors for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability
of the Issuer and the Guarantors as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease;
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required
-------- -------
to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer and the Guarantors
cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language,
customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The
City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Issuer or the Guarantors, as the case may be.
SECTION 1004. Existence.
---------
Subject to Article Eight, the Issuer will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Issuer shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the
Board of Directors in good faith shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Issuer and that the
loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.
SECTION 1005. Maintenance of Properties.
-------------------------
The Issuer will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of
its business or the business of any Subsidiary of the Issuer to be maintained
and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all
necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Issuer may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided,
--------
however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Issuer from
-------
discontinuing the operation or
-88-
maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, as determined
by the Board of Directors in good faith, desirable in the conduct of its
business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders.
SECTION 1006. Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.
---------------------------------
The Issuer and the Guarantors will pay or discharge or cause to be
paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes,
assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Issuer, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, and (2) all lawful claims for
labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon
the property of the Issuer, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Issuer and any Guarantor shall not be
-------- -------
required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.
SECTION 1007. Maintenance of Insurance.
------------------------
The Issuer and the Guarantors shall, and shall cause each of their
Subsidiaries to, keep at all times all of their properties which are of an
insurable nature insured against loss or damage with insurers believed by the
Issuer to be responsible to the extent that property of similar character is
usually so insured by corporations similarly situated and owning like properties
in commercially reasonable amounts and types. The Issuer shall, and shall cause
its Subsidiaries to, use the proceeds from any such insurance policy to repair,
replace or otherwise restore the property to which such proceeds relate.
SECTION 1008. Limitations on Incurrence of Indebtedness.
-----------------------------------------
Neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary will incur any Indebtedness if,
immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional
Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof, the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in
-89-
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of
the sum of (without duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries as of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Issuer's
Annual Report on Form 10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be,
most recently filed with the Trustee (or such reports of Regency if filed by the
Issuer with the Trustee in lieu of filing its own reports) prior to the
incurrence of the additional Indebtedness and (ii) the purchase price of any
real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired and the amount of any
securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that the proceeds were not
used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce
Indebtedness) by the Issuer or any Subsidiary since the end of the calendar
quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of
the additional Indebtedness.
In addition to the foregoing limitation on the incurrence of
Indebtedness, neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary will incur any Indebtedness
secured by any Encumbrance upon any of the property of the Issuer or any
Subsidiary if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of the
additional Indebtedness and the application of the proceeds thereof, the
aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis which is secured by any Encumbrance on
property of the Issuer or any Subsidiary is greater than 40% of the sum of
(without duplication) (i) the Total Assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries as
of the end of the calendar quarter covered in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form
10-K or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, most recently filed
with the Trustee (or such reports of Regency if filed by the Issuer with the
Trustee in lieu of filing its own reports) prior to the incurrence of the
additional Indebtedness and (ii) the purchase price of any real estate assets or
mortgages receivable acquired and the amount of any securities offering proceeds
received (to the extent that the proceeds were not used to acquire real estate
assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Indebtedness) by the Issuer or
any Subsidiary since the end of the calendar quarter, including those proceeds
obtained in connection with the incurrence of the additional Indebtedness.
The Issuer and its Subsidiaries must at all times own Total
Unencumbered Assets equal to at least 150% of the
-90-
aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Unsecured Indebtedness of the
Issuer and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.
In addition to the foregoing limitations on the incurrence of
Indebtedness, neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary will incur any Indebtedness
if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to the Annual
Service Charge for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended
prior to the date on which such additional Indebtedness is to be incurred shall
have been less than 1.5 to 1, on a pro forma basis, after giving effect thereto
and to the application of the proceeds therefrom and calculated on the
assumption that (i) such indebtedness and any other Indebtedness incurred by the
Issuer or its Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period and
the application of the proceeds therefrom, including Indebtedness to refinance
other Indebtedness, had occurred at the beginning of the period, (ii) the
repayment or retirement of any other Indebtedness by the Issuer and its
Subsidiaries since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred,
repaid or retired at the beginning of that period (except that, in making such
computation, the amount of Indebtedness under any revolving credit facility
shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of the Indebtedness
during such period), (iii) in the case of Acquired Indebtedness or Indebtedness
incurred in connection with any acquisition since the first day of the four-
quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of the
period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to the acquisition being
included in the pro forma calculation, and (iv) in the case of any acquisition
or disposition by the Issuer or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets
since the first day of such four-quarter period, including, without limitation,
by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition
or disposition or any related repayment of Indebtedness had occurred as of the
first day of such period with appropriate adjustments with respect to the
acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.
SECTION 1009. [Intentionally Omitted]
SECTION 1010. Provision of Financial Information.

shall file with the Commission the annual reports, quarterly reports and other
documents which the Issuer would have been required to file with the Commission
pursuant to such Section 13(a) or 15(d) or any successor provision thereto if
the Issuer were so required, such documents to be filed with the Commission on
or prior to the respective dates (the "Required Filing Dates") by which the
Issuer would have been required so to file such documents if the Issuer were so
required.

to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange

hereof, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether or not to the best knowledge
of the signers thereof the Issuer is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of Section 801 or
Sections 1004 to 1010, inclusive, and if the Issuer shall be in default,
specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may
have knowledge.
(b) The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and
in any event within 10 days after the Issuer becomes aware or should reasonably
become aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to any series
of Securities or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities, an
Officers'
-92-
Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default, and
the action which the Issuer proposes to take with respect thereto.
SECTION 1012. Waiver of Certain Covenants.
---------------------------
The Issuer may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
covenant or condition set forth in Section 801 and Sections 1004 to 1010, if
before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each series shall, by Act of
such Holders on behalf of the Holders of such series, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Issuer and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such covenant or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date of the principal amount of Securities of such
series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be
redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration
of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities
or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.
SECTION 1104. Selection by Trustee of Securities to BeRedeemed.
------------------------------------------------
If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed
(unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee
shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series,
provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security
shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of
such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption
affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not
previously
-94-
called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and each Security
Registrar in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and,
in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as aforesaid, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed.
The provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with
respect to any redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such
Security is to be redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such
redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the
Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than
the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.
For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise
requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate,
in the case of any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the
portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.
SECTION 1105. Notice of Redemption.
--------------------
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption
Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in
the Security Register.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date,
(2) the Redemption Price,
(3) if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series
consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such
Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be
redeemed and, if less than
-95-
all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single
Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular
Security to be redeemed,
(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that
interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,
(5) the place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered
for payment of the Redemption Price, and
(6) that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.
Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of
the Issuer shall be given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer's request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer and shall be irrevocable.
SECTION 1106. Deposit of Redemption Price.
---------------------------
Prior to any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as its own Paying
Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.
SECTION 1107. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.
-------------------------------------
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so
to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the
Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any
such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall
be paid by the Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to
the Redemption Date;
-96-
provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
-------- -------
301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section
308.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall,
until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate provided by the
Security.
SECTION 1108. Securities Redeemed in Part.
---------------------------
Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at an office or agency of the Issuer designated for that purpose pursuant to
Section 1002 (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement
by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and
the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing), and the Issuer and the Guarantors shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service
charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such ▇▇▇▇▇▇, in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered.
ARTICLE TWELVE
Guarantees
SECTION 1201. Guarantees.
----------
The Guarantors, jointly and severally, as primary obligors and not
merely as sureties, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to each
Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and
punctual payment when due, whether at Stated Maturity of any series, by
acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuer now or hereafter
existing under this Indenture whether for principal of or interest on the
Securities of each series (and premium, if any) and all other monetary
-97-
obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities of each series
in respect of the Securities of each series and (b) the full and punctual
performance within the applicable grace periods of all other obligations of the
Issuer under this Indenture and the Securities of each series (all such
obligations guaranteed hereby by the Guarantors being the "Guaranteed
Obligations"). The guarantees of the Guarantors under this Article 12 is herein
referred to as this "Guarantees".
The Guarantors agree to pay any and all fees and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or the Holders
in enforcing any rights under this Article 12 with respect to the Guarantors.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, these Guarantees
guarantee, to the extent provided herein, the payment of all amounts which
constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Issuer
under this Indenture or the Securities of each series but for the fact that they
are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy,
reorganization or similar proceeding involving the Issuer.
SECTION 1202. Guarantees Absolute.
-------------------
Each Guaranty is irrevocable, absolute and unconditional. The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, guarantee that the Guaranteed Obligations
will be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Indenture,
regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any
jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Trustee or the
Holders with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantors under these
Guarantees are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action
or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor to enforce these
Guarantees, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Issuer or
any other guarantor or whether the Issuer or any other guarantor is joined in
any such action or actions. The liability of the Guarantors under these
Guarantees shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, regularity or enforceability of this
Indenture or the Securities of any
-98-
series with respect to the Issuer or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or
waiver of or any consent to departure from this Indenture;
(c) the failure to give notice to the Guarantors of the occurrence of
a default under the provisions of this Indenture or the Securities of any
series;
(d) any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to
departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations;
(e) any failure, omission, delay by or inability on the part of the
Trustee or the Holders to assert or exercise any right, power or remedy
conferred on the Trustee or the Holders in this Indenture or the Securities
of any series;
(f) any change in the corporate or other structure, or termination,
dissolution, consolidation or merger of the Issuer or any Guarantor with or
into any other entity, the voluntary or involuntary liquidation,
dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the
assets of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the marshaling of the assets and
liabilities of the Issuer or any Guarantor, the receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization,
arrangement, composition with creditors, or readjustments of, or other or
other similar proceedings affecting the Issuer or any Guarantor, or any of
the assets of any of them;
(g) the election by the Trustee or any of the Holders in any
proceeding under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the
"Bankruptcy Code") of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code, any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the
Issuer, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code,
the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any
portion of the claims of the Trustee or any of the Holders for payment of
any of the Securities of any series, any
-99-
waiver or consent by the Holder of such Security or by the Trustee with
respect to any provisions thereof or of this Indenture;
(h) the assignment of any right, title or interest of the Trustee
or any Holder in this Indenture or the Securities of any series to any
other Person; or
(i) any other event or circumstance (including any statute of
limitations), whether foreseen or unforeseen and whether similar or
dissimilar to any of the foregoing, that might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the Issuer or any Guarantor, other
than performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations for the payment of
money; it being the intent of any Guarantor that its obligations hereunder
shall not be discharged except by payment of all amounts owing pursuant to
this Indenture or the Securities of any series.
These Guarantees shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance with respect to any
of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the
Trustee, any Holder or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made or occurred. The obligations of the Guarantors
under these Guarantees shall not be subject to reduction, termination or other
impairment by any set-off, recoupment, counterclaim or defense or for any other
reason.
SECTION 1203. Waivers.
-------
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law:
(a) promptness, demand for payment, diligence, presentment, notice of
acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations and its Guaranty;
(b) any requirement that the Trustee, any Holder or any other Person
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Encumbrance or any property subject
thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the Issuer
-100-
or any other Person, or obtain any relief pursuant to this Indenture or
pursue any other available remedy;
(c) all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Securities
of any series;
(d) filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against
the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to such Security or the Indeb
tedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever;
(e) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon
an election of remedies by the Trustee or any Holder which in any manner
impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects its subrogation,
contribution or reimbursement rights or other rights to proceed against the
Issuer or any other Person; and
(f) any duty on the part of the Trustee or any Holder to disclose to
such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
operation or condition of the Issuer and its assets now known or hereafter
known by the Trustee or such Holder.
SECTION 1204. Waiver of Subrogation and Contribution.
--------------------------------------
Until this Indenture has been discharged, each Guarantor hereby
irrevocably waives any claim or other right which it may now or hereafter
acquire against the Issuer or any guarantor that arise from the existence,
payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor's obligations under its
Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of the Trustee or any Holder against the Issuer or any guarantor which the
Trustee or any Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim,
remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law,
including the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly,
in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid
to a Guarantor in violation of the preceding
-101-
sentence and the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of,
and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee, and the Holders, and shall
forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders to be credited
and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it
will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by this Indenture and that the waivers set forth in this Section
1204 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of
subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed
hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each
Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the
Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations
guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 5 hereof for the
purposes of its Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other
prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations
guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of
such obligations as provided in Article 5 hereof, such obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Guarantor
for the purpose of its Guaranty.
SECTION 1205. Certain Agreements.
------------------
Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, as a condition to the
acceptability of its Guaranty to the Trustee and the Holders, it will:
(a) comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules,
regulations and orders, such compliance to include paying when due all
taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon it or upon its
property except to the extent contested in good faith; and
(b) preserve and maintain its existence, rights (contractual and
statutory) and franchises; provided,
--------
-102-
however, that such Guarantor shall not be required to preserve any right or
-------
franchise if the board of directors or general partner of such Guarantor
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of such Guarantor and the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Guarantor or such Holders.
(c) not consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such
Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated
with such Guarantor unless:
(i) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or
merger is organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof or the District of Columbia and, unless such
successor entity is the Issuer or a Guarantor, unconditionally assumes
all the obligations of such Guarantor pursuant to a supplemental
indenture in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, under the
Securities of each series, the Indenture and its Guaranty on the terms
set forth herein or therein; and
(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no
default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any
series exists.
Any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance is subject
to the condition that the Trustee receive an Officers' Certificate of such
Guarantor and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the merger, sale, lease
or conveyance, and the assumption by any successor entity, complies with the
provisions of this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to such transactions have been complied with.
In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon
the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and
delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the
Guaranty endorsed upon the Securities of each series and the due and punctual
performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed by such Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be
-103-
substituted for such Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named
herein as a Guarantor. Such Guarantor's Guaranty shall in all respects have the
same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture theretofore and thereafter
issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though such Guaranty
had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
SECTION 1206. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees.
------------------------------------
The Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities of each series shall
include the terms of the Guarantees set forth in this Article 12 and any other
terms that may be set forth in the form established pursuant to Section 205.
The Guarantors hereby agree to execute their respective Guarantee, in a form
established pursuant to Section 205, to be endorsed on each Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
The Guarantees shall be executed on behalf of each Guarantor by its
Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The
signature of any or all of these persons on a Guarantee may be manual or
facsimile.
A Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of a Guarantor shall bind such
Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of the Security on
which such Guarantee is endorsed or did not hold such offices at the date of
such Guarantee.
The delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication
thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee endorsed
thereon on behalf of the respective Guarantor. The Guarantors hereby agree that
their respective Guarantee set forth in Section 1201 shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse a Guarantee on any Security.
SECTION 1207. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
------------------------------
No failure on the part of the Trustee or any Holder to exercise, and
no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any
-104-
single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. The
Trustee and the Holders shall have all of the rights and remedies granted in
this Indenture and available at law or in equity, and these same rights and
remedies may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against the
Issuer or the Guarantors.
SECTION 1208. Continuing Guarantees.
---------------------
Each Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and, except as otherwise
provided herein, shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the
satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) be binding upon the respective
Guarantor and (c) enure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the
Holders and their successors, transferees and assigns.
SECTION 1209. Severability.
------------
Any provisions of this Article 12 which is prohibited, unenforceable
or not authorized in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or non-
authorization, without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting
the validity, enforceability or legality of such provision in any other
jurisdiction.
SECTION 1210. Limitation on Guarantor Liability.
---------------------------------
Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance hereof, each Holder, hereby
confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guaranty by such
Guarantor pursuant to its Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law.
To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under this Article 12
shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other
contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such
laws and after giving effect to any collections from or
-105-
payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the
obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 12, if any, result in the
obligations of the Guarantor under such Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance.
ARTICLE THIRTEEN
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
SECTION 1301. Issuer's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Issuer may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, elect
to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any
series of Securities, as the case may be, upon compliance with the conditions
set forth below in this Article Thirteen. Any such election shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section
301 for such Securities.
SECTION 1302. Defeasance and Discharge.
------------------------
Upon the Issuer's exercise of the option provided in Section 1301
applicable to this Section applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in
this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, "defeasance"). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the
Issuer shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper
instru ments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of
Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when such
payments are due, (B) the Issuer's obligations with respect to such Securities
-106-
under Sections 304, 305, 306, 307, 1002 and 1003, (C) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article
Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Issuer may

notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303
applied to such Securities.
SECTION 1303. Covenant Defeasance.
-------------------
Upon the Issuer's exercise of the option provided in Section 1301
applicable to this Section applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, (i) the Issuer shall be released from its
obligations under Sections 1005 through 1010, inclusive, and Section 801, and
(ii) the occurrence of an event specified in Sections 501(3) (with respect to
Clauses (1), (3) or (4) of Section 801), 501(5) (with respect to any of Sections
1005 through 1010, inclusive), 501(6) and 501(7) shall not be deemed to be or
result in an Event of Default in each case with respect to such Securities as
provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"). For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Issuer may
omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or Clause, whether
directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such
Section or Clause, or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Clause
to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.
SECTION 1304. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
--------------------------- -------------------
The following shall be the conditions to application of either
Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be:
(1) The Issuer shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
of Section 609 who shall agree
-107-
to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as
trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S.
Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide,
not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an
amount, or (C) a combination thereof, in each case, sufficient, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to
pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium, if
any,) and each installment of interest on such Securities on the respective
Stated Maturities of such principal or installment of interest in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. For
this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (x)
direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which
its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person
controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of
the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally
guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of
America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the
option of the issuer thereof, and shall also include a depository receipt
issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as
custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government Obligation or a specific
payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S. Government Obligation
held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depository
receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is
--------
-108-
not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder
of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in
respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of
principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by
such depository receipt.
(2) In the case of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Issuer
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x)
the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has
been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
Holders such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal
income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as
would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance and discharge had not
occurred.
(3) In the case of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Issuer
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in
the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
deposit and covenant defeasance had not occurred.
(4) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate to the
-109-
effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same
series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a
result of such deposit.
(5) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the
Trustee to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 608 and for
purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the
Issuer.
(6) No Event of Default with respect to any series or event which
with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default with
respect to any series shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or, insofar as subsections 501(8) and (9) are concerned, at
any time during the period ending on the 121st day after the date of such
deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).
(7) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other
agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which it is
bound.
(8) The Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 1302
or the covenant defeasance under Section 1303 (as the case may be) have
been complied with.
(9) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in the
trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company as
defined in the Investment Company Act or such trust shall be qualified
under such act or exempt from regulation thereunder.
-110-
SECTION 1305. Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in
-------------------------------------------------------------
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.
-------------------------------------
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively, for purposes of
this Section 1305, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any
Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Issuer acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities,
of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium,
if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.
The Issuer shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for
the account of the Holders of the Outstanding Securities.
Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Issuer from time to time upon Issuer Request
any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304
with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which
would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent defeasance or
covenant defeasance.
SECTION 1306. Reinstatement.
-------------
If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Section 1302 or 1303 with respect to any Securities by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
-111-
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Issuer's
obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Issuer has
been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article
Thirteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply
all such money in accordance with Section 1302 or 1303; provided, however, that
-------- -------
if the Issuer makes any payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any such Security following the reinstatement of its obligations,
the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities
to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
SINKING FUNDS
Section 1401. Applicability of Article.
------------------------
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of any series designated pursuant to Section
301 as being subject to redemption or purchase pursuant to any sinking fund or
analogous provisions, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
301 for such Securities.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of any Securities is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund
payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund
payment". Unless otherwise provided by the terms of any Securities, the cash
amount of any sinking fund payment shall be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 1402. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.
Section 1402. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.
-----------------------------------------------------
The Issuer (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other
than any previously called for redemp-
-112-
tion) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of such
Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction
of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of
such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and
to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the
--------
Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The
Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by
the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be
redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of
such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.
Section 1403. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.
-----------------------------------------
Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
Securities, the Issuer will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such
Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section 1402 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date,
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 1104 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Issuer
in the manner provided in Section 1105. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 1107 and 1108.
