rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in aggregate Principal Amount of the Outstanding Securities, on
behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or
for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given
the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate Principal Amount of
the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request to the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered
the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not
have received from the Holders of a majority in Principal Amount of Outstanding
Securities a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to
institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request
and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by
the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of said principal
hereof or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein
or for the enforcement of any conversion right.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the Principal Amount,
Purchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price of, and interest and
Additional Amounts, if any, on, this Security at the times, place and rate, and
in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the
office or agency of the Company in The City of New York, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities,
of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate Principal Amount, will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities are issuable only in registered form in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 above that amount,
as provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth. Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate Principal Amount of
Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same.
