LEHMAN BROTHERS INC.
3 World Trade Center
New York, New York 10285
Dear Sirs:
FINOVA Capital Corporation (formerly known as Greyhound Financial
Corporation), a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), confirms its agreement
with Lehman Brothers Inc. (the "Underwriter") with respect to the sale by the
Company and the purchase by the Underwriter of $147,450,000 aggregate principal
amount of the Company's 6 3/8% Notes due October 15, 2000 (the "Securities").
The Securities are to be issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of September
1, 1992 (the "Indenture") between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").
Prior to the purchase and public offering of the Securities by the
Underwriter, the Company and the Underwriter shall enter into an agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the "Pricing Agreement"). The
Pricing Agreement may take the form of an exchange of any standard form of
written telecommunication between the Company and the Underwriter and shall
specify such applicable information as is indicated in Exhibit A hereto. The
offering of the Securities will be governed by this Agreement, as supplemented
by the Pricing Agreement. From and after the date of the execution and delivery
of the Pricing Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed to incorporate the
Pricing Agreement.
The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 33-52845) for the
registration of $1,000,000,000 of its Senior Debt Securities, including the
Securities, and the offering thereof from time to time under the Securities Act
of
<PAGE> 2
1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), has filed such amendments thereto, if any, as
may have been required to the date hereof, and will file such additional
amendments thereto and such amended prospectuses as may hereafter be required.
Such registration statement has been declared effective by the Commission and
the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the "1939 Act"). Such registration statement, as amended, and the
prospectus constituting a part thereof (including in each case all documents, if
any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to
the 1933 Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"),
or otherwise, are hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement" and
the "Prospectus," respectively, except that if any revised prospectus shall be
provided to the Underwriter by the Company for use in connection with the
offering of the Securities which differs from the Prospectus on file at the
Commission at the time the Registration Statement became effective (whether or
not such revised prospectus is required to be filed by the Company pursuant to
Rule 424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations), the term "Prospectus" shall refer to
such revised prospectus from and after the time it is first provided to the
Underwriter for such use. All references in this Agreement to financial
statements and schedules and other information which is "contained," "included"
or "stated" in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other
references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such
financial statements and schedules and other information which are or are deemed
to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as the case may be; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or
supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to
mean and include the filing of any documents under the 1934 Act after the date
of this Agreement which are or are deemed to be incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be.
The Company understands that the Underwriter proposes to make a public
offering of the Securities as soon as the Underwriter deems advisable after the
Pricing Agreement has been executed and delivered.
Section 1. Representations and Warranties.

date hereof, as of the date of the Pricing Agreement (such latter date being
hereinafter referred to as the "Representation Date") and as of the Closing Time

Statement did comply and will comply in all material respects with the

thereunder (the "1939 Act Regulations") and did not and will not contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading. The Prospectus, at the Representation Date (unless the
term "Prospectus" refers to a prospectus provided to the Underwriter by
the Company for use in connection with the offering of the Securities

Registration Statement became effective, in which case at the time it is
first provided to the Underwriter for such use) and at Closing Time
referred to in Section 2 hereof, will not include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the representations and
warranties in this subsection (i) shall not apply to that part of the
Registration Statement which shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility

information in the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement
became, and any amendments to the Registration Statement become,

required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein,

Regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X promulgated by
the Commission), and such pro forma adjustments have been properly applied
to the historical amounts in the compilation of such statements.

(vii) Each subsidiary of the Company has been duly incorporated and

any material contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or
other instrument to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries is a

unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to
materially adversely affect the conduct of the business, operations,
financial condition or income of the Company and its subsidiaries
considered as one enterprise.
(xii) There is no action, suit or proceeding before or by any court
or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to
the actual knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting, the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, which would reasonably be expected to

6
<PAGE> 7
payment of the consideration set forth in the Pricing Agreement, the
Securities will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement
thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws relating
to or affecting creditors' rights generally or by general equity
principles, including concepts of commercial reasonableness, and will be
entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture; the Securities and the
Indenture conform in all material respects to all statements relating
thereto contained in the Registration Statement; and, after giving effect

have been issued and sold by the Company will not exceed the amount of
securities registered pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(xv) The Company and its subsidiaries have made all necessary
filings and taken all other necessary action so that, with respect to all
of the equipment and other property reflected in the consolidated balance
sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of June 30,
1995, and with respect to all equipment and other property acquired by the
Company or a subsidiary since then, the interest of the Company or of the
appropriate subsidiary in such equipment or other property is free and
clear, in all material respects, of any claims, liens, encumbrances or
liabilities not also reflected in such consolidated balance sheets and
that the interest of the Company or of the appropriate subsidiary has, in
all material respects, been perfected so as not to be subordinate to the
claim of a purchaser in due course or any other bona fide purchaser.
(xvi) The financing contracts reflected in the consolidated balance
sheets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of June 30,
1995, and the financing contracts entered into by the Company or a
subsidiary since then are, in all material respects, legal, valid and
binding obligations of the obligors enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, or other laws relating to or affecting creditors'
rights generally or by general equity principles, including concepts of
commercial reasonableness; the obligors thereunder are, in all material
respects, in the good faith business judgment of the Company and except to
the extent reflected or stated in the Prospectus, financially capable of
performing their respective obligations thereunder, and any defaults in
the payments under all such contracts in the aggregate, at the date
hereof, are not of such amount that, were no more payments to be received
under the financing contracts in respect of which such defaults exist, and
after considering estimated
7
<PAGE> 8
collateral values to be recovered, the consolidated financial condition or
operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, or of the
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, would be materially adversely
affected thereby, excluding impairment of related reserves.
(xvii) The Indenture has been duly and validly authorized, executed
and delivered by the Company and to the best of the Company's knowledge,
the Trustee; and the Indenture constitutes a legally valid and binding
obligation of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally or by general equity principles,
including concepts of commercial reasonableness.
(xviii) The Company is not an "investment company" nor is the Company
"controlled" by an "investment company" as such terms are defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").
(xix) Neither the Company nor any affiliate thereof (as defined in
Section 517.021(1), Florida Statutes) does business with the government of
Cuba or with any person or affiliate located in Cuba.
(b) Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered

covered thereby.

Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose. The Company will make every reasonable effort to prevent the
issuance of any such stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to
obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible moment.
(b) The Company will give the Underwriter notice of its intention
to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement (including
any post-effective amendment) or any amendment or supplement to the
Prospectus (including any revised prospectus which the Company proposes
for use by the Underwriter in connection with the offering of the
Securities which differs from the prospectus on file at the Commission at
the time the Registration Statement becomes effective, whether or not such
revised prospectus is required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the
1933 Act Regulations, whether pursuant to the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or
otherwise), will furnish the Underwriter with copies of any such amendment

(c) The Company has delivered to your counsel one signed copy and
will deliver to the Underwriter as many conformed copies of the

(including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein

therein) as the Underwriter may reasonably request.
(d) The Company will furnish to the Underwriter, from time to
time during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered

Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as the Underwriter may reasonably
request for
9
<PAGE> 10
the purposes contemplated by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the
respective applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
(e) If any event shall occur as a result of which it is
necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Underwriter, to amend or
supplement the Prospectus in order to make the Prospectus not misleading
in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is required to
be delivered to a purchaser, the Company will forthwith amend or
supplement the Prospectus (in form and substance satisfactory to counsel
for the Underwriter) so that, as so amended or supplemented, the
Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is
required to be delivered to a purchaser, not misleading, and the Company
will furnish to the Underwriter a reasonable number of copies of such
amendment or supplement.
(f) The Company will endeavor, in cooperation with the
Underwriter, to qualify the Securities for offering and sale under the
applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions of the
United States as the Underwriter may designate; provided, however, that
the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service
of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in
which it is not so qualified. In each jurisdiction in which the
Securities have been so qualified, the Company will file such statements
and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction to
continue such qualifications in effect for a period of not less than one
year from the effective date of this Agreement. The Company will promptly
advise the Underwriter of the receipt by the Company of any notification
with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for
sale in any state or jurisdiction or the initiating or threatening of any
proceeding for such purpose.
(g) The Company will make generally available to its security
holders as soon as practicable, but not later than 60 days after the close
of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying
with the provisions of Rule 158 of the 1933 Act Regulations) covering a
twelve month period beginning not later than the first day of the
Company's fiscal quarter next following the "effective date" (as defined
in said Rule 158) of the Registration Statement.
(h) The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the
sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Prospectus under the
caption "Use of Proceeds."
(i) Immediately following the execution of the Pricing Agreement,
the Company will prepare, and file or transmit for filing with the
Commission in accordance with Rule
10
<PAGE> 11
424(b) of the 1933 Act Regulations, copies of a supplement to the
Prospectus containing the terms of the Securities and such other
information as the Underwriter and the Company deem appropriate.
(j) From the date of this Agreement until Closing Time, the
Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriter,
directly or indirectly, sell, offer to sell, contract to sell, or
otherwise dispose of, or announce the offering of, any Securities or
securities similar to the Securities, or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for any Securities or any such similar
securities, except for Securities sold to the Underwriter pursuant to this
Agreement.

1939 Act and the regulations of those Acts.
(xiii) There are no legal or governmental proceedings
pending or to the best of such counsel's knowledge,
threatened which are required to be disclosed in the
Registration Statement, other than those disclosed therein,
and all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which
the Company or any subsidiary is a party or of which any of
their property is the subject which are not described in the
Registration Statement, including ordinary routine litigation
incidental to the business, are reasonably expected to be,
alone or in the aggregate, not material.
(xiv) To the best of such counsel's knowledge, there

of any court or governmental authority or agency is required
in connection with the sale of the Securities, except such as
may be required under the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act
Regulations or state securities laws; and the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the Pricing Agreement and the
Indenture and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated herein and therein did not and will not conflict
with or constitute a breach of, or default under, or result
in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or any
subsidiary pursuant to, any contract, indenture, mortgage,
loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument known to such
counsel and to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries
is a party or by which it or any of them may be bound or to
which any of the property or assets of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is subject, or any law, administrative
regulation or administrative or court decree known to such
counsel to be applicable to the Company of any court or
governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator
having jurisdiction over the Company; nor will such action
result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or
by-laws of the Company.
(xvi) Each document, if any, filed pursuant to the
1934 Act (other than the financial statements, schedules and
other financial and statistical data included therein, as to
which no opinion need be rendered) and incorporated by

subsidiaries has received any notice of infringement of or
conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any
trademarks, service marks or trade names which, singly or in
the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision,
ruling or finding, would reasonably be expected to materially
adversely affect the conduct of the business, operations,
financial condition or income of the Company and its
subsidiaries considered as one enterprise.
(xviii) The Company is not an "investment company" nor
is it "controlled" by an "investment company" as such terms
are defined in the Investment Company Act.
In giving such opinion such counsel may rely as to all
matters of law other than the federal laws of the United States of
America, the laws of the State of Arizona, and the General
Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, and as to all matters of
foreign law, upon opinions of counsel satisfactory to counsel to the
Underwriter, in which case, the opinion shall state that although
such counsel has not made an independent investigation of the laws
of any jurisdiction other than the federal laws United States of
America, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the
laws of Arizona, such counsel believes the Underwriter and he are
entitled so to rely. In giving the opinions referred to in the
foregoing clause (iv), such counsel may omit reference to a foreign
subsidiary so long as (A) he shall have delivered to the Underwriter
a signed opinion of other counsel for such foreign subsidiary,
satisfactory to counsel to the Underwriter which other opinion shall
give substantially the same opinions with respect to such foreign
subsidiary as required by the foregoing clause (iv), and (B) he
states that such other opinion is satisfactory to him and that

(b)(l) and (b)(2), respectively, of this Section, Mr. Hallinan and
Brown & Wood shall each additionally state that nothing has come to
their attention that would lead such counsel to believe that
16
<PAGE> 17
the Registration Statement (other than the financial statements,
schedules and other financial and statistical data included or
incorporated therein, and the Form T-1, as to which no statement
need be made), at the time it became effective or at the 10-K Filing
Date (with respect to Mr. Hallinan) or at the Representation Date,
contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein not misleading or that the Prospectus (other
than the financial statements, schedules and other financial and
statistical data included or incorporated therein, as to which no
statement need be made), at the Representation Date (unless the term

in which case at the time it is first provided to the Underwriter
for such use) or at Closing Time, included an untrue statement of a
material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) At Closing Time there shall not have been, since the date
hereof or since the respective dates as of which information is given in
the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition, financial or
otherwise, of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, or in the earnings, business affairs or business prospects of
the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or
not arising in the ordinary course of business, and the Underwriter shall
have received a certificate of the Chairman, President and Chief Executive
Officer or a Senior Vice President or a Vice President of the Company and
of the chief financial or chief accounting officer of the Company, dated
as of Closing Time, to the effect that (i) there has been no such material
adverse change, (ii) the representations and warranties in Section 1
hereof are true and correct with the same force and effect as though
expressly made at and as of Closing Time, (iii) the Company has complied
with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be
performed or satisfied at or prior to Closing Time, and (iv) no stop order
suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued
and no proceedings for that purpose have been initiated or threatened by
the Commission. As used in this Section 5(c), the term "Prospectus" means
the Prospectus in the form first used to confirm sales of the Securities.
(d) At the time of execution of this Agreement, the Underwriter
shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP a
17
<PAGE> 18
letter dated such date, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Underwriter, and substantially in the same form as the draft letter
previously delivered to and approved by the Underwriter.
(e) At Closing Time the Underwriter shall have received from
Deloitte & Touche LLP a letter, dated as of Closing Time, to the effect
that they reaffirm the statements made in the letter furnished pursuant to
subsection (d) of this Section, except that the "specified date" referred
to in such letter shall be a date not more than three days prior to
Closing Time.
(f) All proceedings taken by the Company in connection with the
issuance and sale of the Securities as herein contemplated shall be
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Underwriter and
counsel for the Underwriter.

when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated by the
Underwriter by notice to the Company at any time at or prior to Closing Time,
and such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party

(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriter
and each person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration
Statement (or any amendment thereto), or the omission or alleged omission
therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any
preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement
thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and
expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount
paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding
by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any
claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any
such alleged untrue statement or omission, if such
18
<PAGE> 19
settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and
(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred
(including, subject to Section 6(c) hereof, the fees and disbursements of
counsel chosen by the Underwriter), incurred in investigating, preparing
or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by
any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim
whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such
alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense
is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;
provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss,
liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue
statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance
upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the
Underwriter expressly for use in the Registration Statement (or any amendment
thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any amendment or
supplement thereto).
(b) The Underwriter agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company,
its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and
each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the 1933 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense
described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as
incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged
untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any
amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus (or any
amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by the Underwriter expressly for use in the
Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or such preliminary prospectus
or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto).
(c) Each indemnified party shall give as promptly as reasonably
practicable notice to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it
in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify
an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any
liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity
agreement, except to the extent of any prejudice to such indemnifying party
arising from the failure to provide such notice. An indemnifying party may
participate at its own expense in the defense of such action. In no event shall
the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one
counsel (in addition to any local counsel per jurisdiction) separate from their
own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or
separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of
the same general allegations or circumstances.
19
<PAGE> 20
Section 7. Contribution. To provide for just and equitable contribution
in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 6
hereof is for any reason held to be unenforceable by the indemnified parties
although applicable in accordance with its terms, the Company and the
Underwriter shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims,
damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by said indemnity agreement
incurred by the Company and the Underwriter, as incurred, in such proportions
that the Underwriter is responsible for that portion represented by the
percentage that the underwriting discount appearing on the cover page of the
Prospectus bears to the initial public offering price appearing thereon and the
Company is responsible for the balance; provided, however, that no person guilty
of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933
Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of
such fraudulent misrepresentation. Furthermore, in no event shall the
Underwriter be required to contribute an amount in excess of the total
underwriting discounts received by the Underwriter in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For purposes of this Section, each
person, if any, who controls the Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of
the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and
each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within
the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act shall have the same rights to
contribution as the Company.
Section 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive
Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this
Agreement and the Pricing Agreement, or contained in certificates of officers of
the Company submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Underwriter or a controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and
shall survive delivery of the Securities to the Underwriter.
Section 9. Termination of Agreement.
(a) The Underwriter may terminate this Agreement, immediately upon
notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to Closing Time (i) if there has
been, since the date of this Agreement or since the respective dates as of which
information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the
condition, financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, business affairs or
business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one
enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii)
if there has occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other
calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the United
States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriter,
impracticable to market the Securities or enforce contracts for the sale of the
Securities, or (iii) if trading in
20
<PAGE> 21
any securities of the Company has been suspended by the Commission or a national
securities exchange, or if trading generally on either the American Stock
Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange has been suspended, or minimum or
maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for
securities have been required, by either of said exchanges or by order of the
Commission or any other governmental authority, or if a banking moratorium has
been declared by federal or New York authorities, or (iv) if the rating assigned
by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization to any debt
securities of the Company shall have been lowered or if any such rating agency
shall have publicly announced subsequent to the date of this agreement that it
has placed any debt securities of the Company on what is commonly termed a
"watch list" for possible downgrading. As used in this Section 9(a), the term

termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as
provided in Section 4 hereof.

Company to the Holder of this Note not less than 15 days preceding such
subsequent record date.

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than 66 2/3% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities at the time outstanding which are affected thereby. The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, 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 Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder

future Holders of this Note and of any Note 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 Note.
As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no
Holder of any Note will have the right to institute any proceeding with respect
to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder unless: (a) such Holder shall
have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing event of
default with respect to the Notes; (b) the Holders of 25% or more in principal
amount of outstanding Notes shall have made written request and offered
reasonable indemnity and security satisfactory to the Trustee to institute such
proceeding; and (c) the Trustee shall have failed to institute such proceeding
within 60 days of receiving such notice, request and offer; provided that such
limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the
enforcement of payment of the principal of or interest on this Note on or after
the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provisions of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
