PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the more
detailed information and Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes
thereto, appearing elsewhere in or incorporated by reference into this
Prospectus. Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, references in
this Prospectus to the "Company" or "Prime" are to Prime Hospitality Corp. and
its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Prospectus
assumes that the Underwriters' over-allotment option is not exercised. See
"Underwriting."
THE COMPANY
Prime is a leading hotel owner/operator with a portfolio of 86 hotels
totalling 12,617 rooms. Located primarily in secondary markets in 19 states and
the U.S. Virgin Islands, Prime's hotels operate either under franchise
agreements with hotel brands such as Marriott, Radisson, Sheraton, Holiday Inn,
Ramada and Howard Johnson, or under the Company's proprietary brand names,
AmeriSuites(R) and Wellesley Inns(R). The Company owns or leases 49 hotels (the
"Owned Hotels") and manages 37 hotels for third parties (the "Managed Hotels").
Prime holds financial interests in the form of mortgages or profit
participations in 17 of the Managed Hotels. In total, the Company has equity or
financial interests in 66 hotels containing approximately 10,000 rooms.
The Company operates in three major lodging industry segments:
full-service, all-suites and limited-service. Approximately 53% of Prime's hotel
rooms are in full-service hotels. The AmeriSuites hotels, which comprise
approximately 12% of the Company's hotel rooms, are mid-priced, all-suites
hotels, situated near office parks and travel destinations in the Southern and
Central United States. Prime also competes in the limited-service segment, which
comprises approximately 35% of its hotel rooms, primarily through its
economically priced Wellesley Inns, which are located in Florida, the Middle
Atlantic and the Northeast.
Prime is fundamentally committed to hotel equity ownership. Significant
elements of Prime's ownership strategy are strong in-house hotel management and
control of its proprietary brands, both of which have contributed to improved
hotel operating performance. Reflecting Prime's operating strengths, the
Company's hotels generated average operating profit margins that exceeded
comparable industry averages for 1993, as reported by industry sources, by
approximately 25% for full-service hotels, 21% for all-suites hotels and 6% for
limited-service hotels.
The Company's growth strategy is to:
- generate improved results at existing hotels through increased operating
efficiencies;
- acquire full-service hotels with potential for operating and marketing
improvements; and
- expand the AmeriSuites hotel brand to meet growing all-suites segment
demand.
The Company's strategy for improving results at its existing hotels
includes using sophisticated operating, marketing and financial systems and
capitalizing on the operating leverage inherent in the lodging industry.
Implementation of the Company's strategy, together with positive industry
trends, has produced improved performance in recent years. Exemplifying the
Company's operating leverage, during 1994 room revenues increased 7.4% while net
operating income increased 17.0%, as compared to the prior year, for
Company-owned comparable hotels, which are hotels that have been open for all of
1993 and 1994. Lodging industry analysts expect further improvement for the
lodging sector, and the Company expects to continue to improve the performance
of its existing hotels.
The Company seeks to capitalize on its strength as a full-service hotel
owner/operator and the favorable outlook for the full-service segment by
continuing to pursue the acquisition of full-service hotels. In 1994 the Company
acquired four full-service hotels with approximately 1,000 rooms. With a
continued industry outlook for limited new room supply, steady demand growth and
acquisition prices at discounts to replacement cost in the full-service segment,
Prime believes that the acquisition of full-service hotels will continue to
provide significant growth opportunities.
4
<PAGE> 6
Prime is also committed to developing its AmeriSuites all-suites hotel
brand. The Company believes that AmeriSuites provides an excellent guest
experience and offers desirable suite accommodations and other amenities at
mid-scale prices. The performance of AmeriSuites improved significantly in 1994
with revenue per available room ("REVPAR") and net operating income for
comparable hotels increasing by 13.1% and 19.3% over the prior year,
respectively. During the first quarter of 1995, the Company will acquire the
option of ShoLodge, Inc. to purchase a 50% interest in 11 of the Company's 12
AmeriSuites hotels and will also acquire the only AmeriSuites hotel not already
owned by Prime (collectively, the "ShoLodge Transaction"), thereby establishing
Prime's exclusive control over the AmeriSuites brand. In 1994 the Company opened
four new AmeriSuites. The Company currently plans to open or commence
construction of ten new AmeriSuites in 1995 with approximately 1,250 rooms. The
Company already owns six development sites for new AmeriSuites hotels and has
begun construction at sites in Atlanta, Greensboro and Miami.
As a leading owner/operator of hotels, Prime believes that it is well
positioned to benefit from the continuing recovery occurring in the lodging
industry. The recovery has been driven by a favorable supply/demand imbalance
resulting primarily from increased economic activity and the sharp decline in
the growth of the supply of new hotel rooms since 1991. Demand growth exceeded
new supply growth by 3.0% in 1993 and by 3.3% in 1994. Since 1991, demand growth
has outpaced new room supply growth, resulting in an increase in industry-wide
occupancy levels from 60.9% in 1991 to 65.2% in 1994. Higher occupancy levels
have allowed the industry to increase rates. In 1994 average daily rates ("ADR")
increased by 3.8% over 1993 levels, marking the first inflation-adjusted ADR
growth since 1986. REVPAR, which measures the combined impact of rate and
occupancy, increased by 7.3% in 1994. Because of the operating leverage inherent
in the lodging industry, increases in REVPAR have had a major impact on hotel
operating performance, with industry pretax profits growing from breakeven
levels in 1992 to approximately $4.6 billion in 1994, as estimated by Smith
Travel Research.
The Company is the successor in interest to Prime Motor Inns, Inc. and
certain of its subsidiaries ("PMI"), which restructured its operations and
capital structure pursuant to a bankruptcy reorganization completed on July 31,
1992 (the "Effective Date"). Under its restructuring, PMI recruited new
management and directors, reduced its liabilities by $448.8 million, revalued
its assets to reflect fair market value, and eliminated unprofitable contract
commitments. During the period from July 31, 1992 through December 31, 1994, the
Company further reduced its debt by $82.6 million from $266.4 million to $183.8
million, and reduced its portfolio of notes receivable through cash collections
and collateral recoveries by $143.4 million from $226.6 million to $83.2
million. In the process, the Company increased its investment in hotel fixed
assets by $138.9 million from $160.4 million to $299.3 million, and increased
shareholders' equity by $68.5 million from $135.6 million to $204.1 million.
With a strengthened balance sheet, a diminished note receivable portfolio and a
significantly increased base of Owned Hotels, the Company believes that it is
well positioned to implement its growth strategy.
The Company is a Delaware corporation incorporated in 1985. The principal
office of the Company is 700 Route 46 East, Fairfield, New Jersey 07007-2700 and
its telephone number is (201) 882-1010.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective purchasers of Notes should carefully consider, among other
things, the following risk factors before purchasing the Notes offered hereby.
LEVERAGE
As of December 31, 1994, as adjusted for the issuance of the Notes and the
incurrence of $42.6 million of mortgage debt during the first quarter of 1995,
the Company's total long-term debt (including current installments) and
shareholders' equity would have been $301.4 million and $204.1 million,
respectively. The Company expects it will incur indebtedness in addition to the
Notes in connection with the implementation of its growth strategy. The
Indenture governing the Notes does not restrict the ability of the Company or
its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, including Senior
Indebtedness. Additional indebtedness of the Company may rank senior or pari
passu with the Notes in certain circumstances, while additional indebtedness of
the Company's subsidiaries will rank effectively senior to the Notes. See
"Description of Notes." The Company's ability to satisfy its obligations will be
dependent upon its future performance, which is subject to prevailing economic
conditions and financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond
the Company's control. There can be no assurance that the Company's operating
cash flow will be sufficient to meet its debt service requirements or to repay
the Notes at maturity or that the Company will be able to refinance the Notes or
other indebtedness at maturity. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital
Resources."
SUBORDINATION
The Notes will be unsecured subordinated obligations of the Company and
will be subordinated in right of payment to all present and future Senior
Indebtedness of the Company and will be effectively subordinated to all
indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries. In the event
of bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, the assets of the
Company will be available to pay obligations on the Notes only after all Senior
Indebtedness has been paid in full, and there may not be sufficient assets
remaining to pay amounts due on any or all of the Notes then outstanding. The
holders of any indebtedness of the Company's subsidiaries will be entitled to
payment of their indebtedness from the assets of the subsidiaries prior to the
holders of any general unsecured obligations of the Company, including the
Notes. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had approximately $131.2 million of
outstanding Senior Indebtedness, and the subsidiaries of the Company had
approximately $52.6 million of indebtedness. In the event of a payment default
with respect to Senior Indebtedness, no payments may be made on account of the
Notes until such default has been cured or waived. In addition, under certain
circumstances, no payments with respect to the Notes may be made for a period of
up to 179 days if certain non-payment defaults exist with respect to Senior
Indebtedness of the Company. See "Description of Notes." See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
RISKS OF THE LODGING INDUSTRY; COMPETITION
The Company's business is subject to all of the risks inherent in the
lodging industry. These risks include, among other things, adverse effects of
general and local economic conditions, changes in local market conditions,
oversupply of hotel space, a reduction in local demand for hotel rooms, changes
in travel patterns, changes in governmental regulations that influence or
determine wages, prices or construction costs, changes in interest rates, the
availability of credit and changes in real estate taxes and other operating
expenses. The Company's ownership of real property, including hotels, is
substantial. Real estate values are sensitive to changes in local market and
economic conditions and to fluctuations in the economy as a whole. Due in part
to the strong correlation between the lodging industry's performance and
economic conditions, the lodging industry is subject to cyclical changes in
revenues and profits.
The lodging industry is highly competitive. During the 1980s, construction
of lodging facilities in the United States resulted in an excess supply of
available rooms. This oversupply had an adverse effect on occupancy levels and
room rates in the industry, although the oversupply has largely been absorbed.
10
<PAGE> 12
Competitive factors in the industry include reasonableness of room rates,
quality of accommodations, brand recognition, service levels and convenience of
locations. The Company's hotels generally operate in areas that contain numerous
other competitors. There can be no assurance that demographic, geographic or
other changes in markets will not adversely affect the convenience or
desirability of the locales in which the Company's hotels are located.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, in the locales in which the
Company's hotels operate, competing hotels will not pose greater competition for
guests than presently exists, or that new hotels will not enter such locales.
See "Business -- Lodging Industry."
HOTEL DEVELOPMENT AND ACQUISITION RISKS
The Company's growth strategy of developing new hotels and acquiring hotels
with repositioning potential will subject the Company to pre-opening,
pre-stabilization and repositioning costs. As the Company opens additional
Company-owned hotels, such costs may adversely affect the Company's results of
operations. Newly opened hotels historically begin with lower occupancy and room
rates that improve over time. While the Company has in the past successfully
opened or repositioned new hotels, there can be no assurance that the Company
will be able to achieve its growth strategy. Construction, acquisition and
repositioning of hotels involves certain risks, including the possibility of
construction cost overruns and delays, site acquisition cost and availability,
uncertainties as to market potential, market deterioration after commencement of
the acquisition or repositioning, possible unavailability of financing on
favorable terms and the emergence of market competition from unanticipated
sources. Although the Company seeks to manage its construction, acquisition and
repositioning activities so as to minimize such risks, there can be no assurance
that such projects will perform in accordance with the Company's expectations.
AMERISUITES EXPANSION
As part of its growth strategy, the Company intends to expand its
AmeriSuites hotel brand to meet growing demand in the all-suites hotel segment.
On March 31, 1995, in connection with the pending ShoLodge Transaction, the
Company will take over the management of the AmeriSuites hotel brand. Prior to
completion of the ShoLodge Transaction, the Company will have operated only one
of the thirteen AmeriSuites hotels. In addition to the risks associated with
hotel development generally, the Company is subject to additional risks in the
all-suites hotel segment due to its limited operating history in this segment.
Also, the Company competes with other companies in the all-suites segment, some
of whom have greater brand recognition, financial resources and experience than
the Company. There is no assurance that the Company can compete effectively with
these other franchises.
GEOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATION OF HOTELS
Many of the Company's hotels are located in Florida, New Jersey and New
York, and such geographic concentration exposes the Company's operating results
to events or conditions which specifically affect those areas, such as local and
regional economic, weather and other conditions. Adverse developments which
specifically affect those areas may have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations of the Company.
In addition, the Company owns the Marriott's Frenchman's Reef Beach Resort
(the "Frenchman's Reef") in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The Company
obtained ownership and control of this hotel in December 1994 pursuant to the
restructuring of a note receivable. Assuming the Company had obtained ownership
on January 1, 1994, the Frenchman's Reef would have accounted for 11.6% of the
Company's net operating income in 1994. The Frenchman's Reef's operating results
have been adversely affected in recent years by a hurricane, disruption in
airline service and the Persian Gulf War. As a resort hotel primarily operated
for leisure travellers, operating results at the Frenchman's Reef also are
subject to adverse developments in general economic conditions and changes in
travel patterns. Adverse developments with respect to the Frenchman's Reef may
have a material adverse effect on the results of operations of the Company.

RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ROSE AND COHEN SETTLEMENT
In April 1994, the Company received a favorable ruling from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida in litigation with
Financial Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA") with respect to FSA's attempt to
recover a payment made to the Company pursuant to a settlement agreement with
Allan V. Rose ("Rose") and Arthur G. Cohen ("Cohen"). In 1993, the Company
reached a settlement with Rose and Cohen of an adversary proceeding regarding a
promissory note and personal guarantee. FSA asserted in the Bankruptcy Court
proceeding that it was entitled to receive the settlement proceeds otherwise
payable to the Company (approximately $31.2 million) under the terms of an
intercreditor agreement. The Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the Company in
April 1994 and, immediately thereafter, the Company used $25.0 million of the
settlement proceeds to retire its remaining Senior Secured Notes due July 31,
1997. On April 21, 1994, FSA filed a notice of appeal of the Bankruptcy Court's
order. The appeal has been argued before the United States District Court for
the Southern District of Florida and a decision of the District Court is
pending. The Company is retaining the remaining $6.2 million of settlement
proceeds as restricted cash pending disposition of the appeal. If the favorable
decision of the Bankruptcy Court were reversed by the District Court or on
further appeal by FSA, the Company could be required to pay over the $31.2
million in settlement proceeds to FSA, which could have a material adverse
effect on the Company. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
EMPLOYMENT AND OTHER GOVERNMENT REGULATION
The lodging industry is subject to numerous federal, state and local
government regulations, including those relating to the preparation and sale of
food and beverage (such as health and liquor license laws) and building and
zoning requirements. Also, the Company is subject to laws governing its
relationship with employees, including minimum wage requirements, overtime,
working conditions and work permits requirements. The failure to obtain or
retain liquor licenses or an increase in the minimum wage rate, employee benefit
costs or other costs associated with employees, could adversely affect the
Company. Both at the federal and state level, there are proposals under
consideration to increase the minimum wage and introduce a system of mandated
health insurance. Under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA"),
all public accommodations are required to meet certain federal requirements
related to access and use by disabled persons. While the Company believes its
hotels are substantially in compliance with these requirements, a determination
that the Company is not in compliance with the ADA could result in the
imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. These and other
initiatives could adversely affect the Company as well as the lodging industry
in general.
ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and
regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be
liable for the costs of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances
on, under or in such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not
the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such
hazardous or toxic substances. Certain environmental laws and common law
principles could be used to impose liability for release of asbestos-containing
materials ("ACMs") into the air, and third parties may seek recovery from owners
or operators of real properties for personal injury associated with exposure to
released ACMs. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in
which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions
may require expenditures. In connection with the ownership or operation of
hotels, the Company may be potentially liable for any such costs. Although the
Company is currently not aware of any material environmental claims pending or
threatened against it, no assurance can be given that a material environmental
claim will not be asserted against the Company or against the Company and its
managed or franchised hotels. The cost of defending against claims of liability
or of remediating a contaminated property could have a material adverse effect
on the results of operations of the Company.
12
<PAGE> 14
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company currently manages 37 hotels under agreements with third party
hotel owners, including 16 Wellesley Inns for which the Company provides the
brand name. Terms of the management agreements vary but the majority are
short-term and, therefore, there are risks associated with termination of these
agreements. Furthermore, management agreements may be terminated in connection
with a change in ownership of the underlying hotels. Although such risks may be
limited due to the Company's role as lender or provider of the Wellesley Inn
brand name, 18 of the Managed Hotels, including the 16 Wellesley Inns referenced
above, are highly leveraged with debt maturing in December 1995. There can be no
assurance that such debt can be repaid or restructured by the third party hotel
owners in a manner that would permit the Company to continue as manager of such
properties.
IMPORTANCE OF FRANCHISOR RELATIONSHIPS
The Company currently enjoys good relationships with its major franchisors,
Marriott, Radisson, Sheraton, Holiday Inn, Ramada and Howard Johnson, and the
Company has no reason to believe that such relationships will not continue.
However, under the applicable franchise agreements, the franchisor can terminate
the agreement if its quality standards are not maintained or if payments due are
not made in a timely fashion. If any of the franchise agreements were terminated
by the franchisor, the Company could explore entering into a franchise agreement
with another franchisor. There can be no assurance, however, that a desirable
replacement relationship would be available.
DEPENDENCE ON KEY EMPLOYEES
The Company is dependent on its President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board, David A. Simon, its Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer, John M. Elwood, its Executive Vice President of Operations,
Paul H. Hower, and on certain other key members of its executive management
staff, the loss of whose services could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business and future operations. See "Management."
ABSENCE OF PUBLIC MARKET FOR THE NOTES
The Notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no
public market. Although the Company is applying to have the Notes listed on the
New York Stock Exchange, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the
market for the Notes that may develop, the ability of the holders to sell their
Notes or the prices at which holders of the Notes would be able to sell their
Notes. If a market for the Notes does develop, the Notes may trade at a discount
from their initial public offering price, depending on prevailing interest
rates, the market for similar securities, performance of the Company, the market
price of the Company's Common Stock, performance of the lodging sector and other
factors. No assurance can be given as to whether an active trading market will
develop or be maintained for the Notes. See "Underwriting."
13
<PAGE> 15
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes offered hereby are estimated to
be approximately $72.2 million (approximately $83.1 million if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full) after deducting the underwriting
discount and estimated expenses related to the Offering. The Company intends to
use the net proceeds to finance the development or acquisition of hotels or
hotel portfolios and for general corporate purposes. The Company is engaged in
an ongoing program of evaluating and acquiring hotels and hotel portfolios in
selected markets in the United States. However, the Company has no agreement,
understanding or arrangement with any person to effect any material acquisition.
Until used, the net proceeds of this Offering will be invested in short-term
investment grade marketable securities or money market funds or used to repay
mortgage debt on existing hotels that the Company expects would be available, as
a result of such repayment, to support additional indebtedness.

(2) Net income per common share has been restated for all periods to reflect a
9.4% retroactive reduction in the number of shares distributed under PMI's
plan of reorganization from 33.0 million to 29.9 million. This reduction was
effected in September 1994.
(3) EBITDA represents earnings before extraordinary items, net interest expense,
provision for income taxes (if applicable) and depreciation and amortization
and excludes interest income on cash investments and other income. EBITDA is
used by the Company for the purpose of analyzing its operating performance,
leverage and liquidity. Such data are not a measure of financial performance
under generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered
as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
(4) Earnings used in computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges consist of
income before income taxes, fixed charges and extraordinary items. Fixed
charges consist of interest expense, including amounts capitalized and the
amortization of deferred financing fees, and that portion of rental expense
representative of interest (deemed to be one third of rental expense).

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
The Company is a leading hotel owner/operator which owns or leases 49 Owned
Hotels and manages 37 Managed Hotels for third parties. The Company has a
financial interest in the form of mortgages or profit participations in 17 of
the Managed Hotels. The Company records the direct revenues, operating expenses
and depreciation of its Owned Hotels and management fees and interest income,
where applicable, on the Managed Hotels.
The Company has implemented a growth strategy which focuses on improving
results at existing hotels through increased operating efficiencies, acquiring
full-service hotels and expanding its AmeriSuites hotel brand in the all-suites
segment. Operating results have continued to improve at comparable hotels due to
repositioning efforts, yield management programs and overall improvements in the
industry. The Company also added 11 Owned Hotels in 1994 through acquisition,
construction or settlements of notes receivable, thereby increasing its Owned
Hotel rooms by approximately 40%. The Company believes that it is well
positioned to benefit from current industry trends due to its hotel equity
ownership position.
The Company has restated net income per common share for all periods to
reflect a 9.4% reduction in the number of shares distributed under the plan of
reorganization (the "Plan") of the Company's predecessor, PMI. The financial
statements had previously given effect to the maximum amount of 33,000,000
shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan, whereas the Company in total
distributed only 29,913,000 shares under the Plan.

The following table presents the components of operating income, operating
expense margins and other data for the Company and the Company's comparable

(1) For purposes of this discussion of results of operations for 1994 compared
to 1993, comparable Owned Hotels refers to the 31 Owned Hotels that were
owned or leased by the Company during all of 1994 and 1993.
Room revenues increased by $19.3 million, or 27.7%, from $69.5 million in
1993 to $88.8 million in 1994. This increase was primarily due to incremental
room revenues of $17.6 million from hotels acquired or built in 1993 and 1994
and an increase in room revenues at comparable Owned Hotels. Room revenues for
comparable Owned Hotels increased by $4.5 million, or 7.2%, in 1994 compared to
1993 due to improvements in ADR which increased by $4.32, or 7.6%, reflecting
repositioning and refurbishment efforts at several full-service hotels and
improving industry fundamentals. Occupancy rates for comparable Owned Hotels
remained relatively constant in 1994 compared to the prior year.
Food and beverage revenues increased by $5.8 million, or 47.4%, from $12.3
million in 1993 to $18.1 million in 1994. This increase was primarily due to the
impact of incremental revenues of $5.6 million from additional food and beverage
operations of four full-service hotels acquired in 1994. Food and beverage
revenues for comparable Owned Hotels increased by $535,000, or 4.9%, in 1994
compared to 1993 primarily as a result of increased banquet sales and the
repositioning of three lounges to a sports bar theme.
Management and other fees consist of base and incentive fees earned under
management agreements, fees for additional services rendered to Managed Hotels
and sales commissions earned by the Company's national sales group, Market
Segments, Inc. Management and other fees decreased by $810,000, or 7.5%, from
$10.8 million in 1993 to $10.0 million in 1994 primarily due to the loss of
management fees on four Managed Hotels acquired by the Company during 1994. In
addition, the Company's management contracts covering six additional hotels were
terminated during 1994 upon divestiture of those hotels by the third party
19
<PAGE> 21
hotel owners. Partially offsetting these decreased management fees were the
addition of two new management contracts and increased revenues associated with
the remaining Managed Hotels.
Interest on mortgages and notes receivable in 1993 and 1994 primarily
related to mortgages secured by certain Managed Hotels including the Frenchman's
Reef. Interest income on mortgages and notes receivable increased by $1.1
million, or 7.5%, from $14.8 million in 1993 to $15.9 million in 1994 primarily
due to interest recognized on the Company's cash flow notes, which are
subordinated or junior mortgages which remit payment based on hotel cash flow.
These cash flow notes bear many of the characteristics and risks of operating
hotel equity investments and are assigned no value on the Company's balance
sheet due to substantial doubt as to their recoverability. The Company's policy
is to recognize interest on cash flow notes when cash is received. In 1994, the
portion of interest on mortgages and other notes receivable attributable to cash
flow notes increased to $2.0 million from $1.0 million in 1993 primarily due to
the execution of revised cash flow note agreements on three hotels and the
improved operating performance of the underlying hotels. See
"Business -- Mortgages and Notes Receivable."
Approximately $4.3 million and $4.6 million of interest on mortgages and
notes receivable in 1993 and 1994, respectively, was derived from the Company's
$50.0 million note receivable secured by the Frenchman's Reef. This note was
restructured in December 1994 and pursuant to such restructuring, the Company
obtained ownership and control of the Frenchman's Reef (see "-- Liquidity and
Capital Resources").
Direct room expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 26.1%, from $19.5
million in 1993 to $24.5 million in 1994 due primarily to the addition of new
hotels. As a percentage of room revenue, direct room expenses decreased from
28.0% in 1993 to 27.6% in 1994 primarily due to increases in ADR which had
minimal corresponding increases in expenses. For comparable Owned Hotels, direct
room expenses increased $411,000, or 2.4%, but decreased as a percentage of
comparable room revenue from 27.1% in 1993 to 25.9% in 1994.
Direct food and beverage expenses increased by $3.7 million, or 35.7%, from
$10.2 million in 1993 to $13.9 million in 1994 due primarily to the addition of
new full-service hotels. As a percentage of food and beverage revenue, direct
food and beverage expenses decreased from 83.4% in 1993 to 76.8% in 1994
primarily due to increased revenues in higher margin areas such as banquet
departments and sports lounges. For comparable Owned Hotels, direct food and
beverage expenses increased $114,000, or 1.3%, but decreased as a percentage of
food and beverage revenue from 83.0% in 1993 to 80.1% in 1994.
Direct hotel selling and general expenses consist primarily of hotel
expenses which are not specifically allocated to rooms or food and beverage
activities, such as administration, selling and advertising, utilities, repairs
and maintenance. Direct hotel selling and general expenses increased by $6.3
million, or 30.9%, from $20.4 million in 1993 to $26.7 million in 1994 due
primarily to the addition of new hotels. As a percentage of hotel revenues
(defined as rooms and food and beverage revenues), direct hotel selling and
general expenses remained relatively constant at 25.0% in 1994 and 1993. For
comparable Owned Hotels, direct selling and general expenses increased $1.1
million, or 6.2%, but decreased slightly as a percentage of comparable Owned
Hotel revenues from 24.3% in 1993 to 24.1% in 1994.
Occupancy and other operating expenses which consist primarily of
insurance, real estate and other taxes, and rent expense, increased by $214,000,
or 1.9%, from $11.0 million in 1993 to $11.3 million in 1994. As a percentage of
hotel revenues, occupancy and other operating expenses decreased from 13.5% in
1993 to 10.5% in 1994 primarily due to operating leverage, lower property and
liability insurance charges based on favorable claims experiences and reductions
in real estate taxes as a result of successful tax appeals on certain
properties.
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of centralized
management expenses such as operations management, sales and marketing, finance
and hotel support services associated with operating both the Owned and Managed
Hotels and general corporate expenses. General and administrative expenses
decreased by $596,000, or 3.8%, from $15.7 million in 1993 to $15.1 million in
1994 primarily due to savings realized from the restructuring of the Company's
centralized management operations in 1993. As a percentage of total revenues,
general and administrative expenses decreased from 14.4% in 1993 to 11.2% in
1994.
20
<PAGE> 22
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.3 million, or 32.5%,
from $7.1 million in 1993 to $9.4 million in 1994, due to the impact of new
hotel properties acquired in the past year and refurbishment efforts at several
hotels.
Interest expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 13.2%, from $16.1 million in
1993 to $14.0 million in 1994, primarily due to the net reduction of
approximately $27.4 million of debt over the past two years. Interest income on
cash investments increased $701,000, or 63.2%, from $1.3 million in 1993 to $2.0
million in 1994 due to higher average cash balances in 1994.
Other income for 1994 consisted of a gain of approximately $6.2 million
related to the settlement of the Rose and Cohen note receivable (see
"-- Liquidity and Capital Resources"), gains on sales of other hotel assets of
approximately $1.0 million and rebates of prior years' insurance premiums of
$1.3 million.
Pretax extraordinary gains of approximately $292,000 for 1994 relate to the
retirement of secured notes with a face value of $8.3 million. Pretax
extraordinary gains of approximately $6.8 million in 1993 relate to the
retirement of debt with a face value of $25.8 million.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1993 COMPARED TO THE YEAR
ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1992
The Company is the successor in interest to PMI, which emerged from chapter
11 reorganization on the Effective Date. During its approximately two-year
reorganization, PMI restructured its assets, operations and capital structure.
As a result, the Company (i) eliminated numerous unprofitable lease and
management agreements, (ii) revalued its assets to reflect the then approximate
current fair market value of such assets on its financial statements and (iii)
reduced its liabilities by $448.8 million. On the Effective Date, the Company
emerged from chapter 11 reorganization with 75 Owned or Managed Hotels (as
compared to 141 hotels prior to the chapter 11 reorganization), $135.6 million
of total equity and $266.4 million of long-term debt.
The Company implemented "fresh start" reporting in accordance with
Statement of Position 90-7 of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants upon its emergence from reorganization on the Effective Date. Under
"fresh start" reporting, the purchase method of accounting was used and the
assets and liabilities of the Company were restated to reflect their approximate
fair value at the Effective Date. In addition, during the reorganization period
(September 18, 1990 to the Effective Date), the Company's financial statements
were prepared under accounting principles for entities in reorganization which
include reporting interest expense only to the extent paid and recording
transactions and events directly associated with the reorganization proceedings.
Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements of the Company are not
comparable in all material respects to any such financial statement as of any
date or for any period prior to the Effective Date. Subsequent to the Effective
Date, the Company elected to change its fiscal year end from June 30 to December
31.
For purposes of an analysis of the results of operations, comparisons of
the Company's results of operations for 1993 to 1992 are made only when, in
management's opinion, such comparisons are meaningful. Prior to the Effective
Date, the Company did not employ "fresh start" reporting thereby making
comparisons to certain financial statement data prior to such date less
meaningful. The financial information set forth below presents the revenues and
expenses which can be meaningfully compared. The table excludes the items which
were affected by the changes in accounting such as interest expense, occupancy
and other operating expense and depreciation expense for 1992 and 1993. The
financial information below should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements of the Company included elsewhere in this Prospectus and
incorporated by reference. Since the Company changed its fiscal year in 1992,
management has compiled unaudited data for the calendar year ended December 31,
1992.

(1) For purposes of this discussion of results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1993 compared to the year ended December 31, 1992, Comparable
Owned Hotels refers to the 29 Owned Hotels that were owned or leased by the
Company during all of 1993 and 1992.
Room revenue increased by $7.1 million, or 11.4%, from $62.4 million in
1992 to $69.5 million in 1993. This increase was primarily due to incremental
room revenues of $10.9 million from hotels acquired or built during 1993 and
1992 and increased occupancy and ADR at comparable hotels. The increase was
partially offset by a decrease in room revenues of $7.4 million resulting from
the divestiture of four hotels in 1992 and 1993. Room revenues for comparable
Owned Hotels increased by $3.5 million, or 6.8%, in 1993 compared to 1992,
primarily due to an increase in occupancy of 5.9% for 1993, reflecting improved
economic conditions and continued limited new room supply. ADR increased $1.30,
or 2.4%, in 1993.
Food and beverage revenues decreased by $792,000, or 6.1%, from $13.1
million in 1992 to $12.3 million in 1993. The decrease was primarily due to the
loss of food and beverage operations at divested hotels which was partially
offset by an increase in food and beverage revenue at comparable Owned Hotels of
$506,000, or 5.3%, in 1993.
Management and other fees decreased by $621,000, or 5.4%, from $11.5
million in 1992 to $10.8 million in 1993. The decrease was primarily
attributable to the loss of five management contracts due to property
divestitures by independent owners, of which two properties were acquired by the
Company. This decrease was
22
<PAGE> 24
partially offset by increases in management fees attributable to improved
operating results of the Managed Hotels.
Interest on mortgages and notes receivable decreased by $5.3 million, or
26.4%, from $20.1 million in 1992 to $14.8 million in 1993. This decrease was
primarily due to the Company's early collection of a $58.0 million note
receivable in August 1992. The decrease was partially offset by interest income
of $1.0 million recognized on cash flow notes in 1993 due to the improved
performance of the underlying hotels.
Rental and other revenues decreased by $725,000, or 32.5% from $2.2 million
in 1992 to $1.5 million in 1993. The decrease was primarily attributable to the
loss of rental revenues on properties which the Company converted into operating
hotel assets.
Direct room expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 8.9%, from $17.9 million
in 1992 to $19.5 million in 1993. As a percentage of room revenue, direct room
expenses decreased from 28.6% in 1992 to 28.0% in 1993, primarily due to
increases in ADR which had minimal corresponding increases in expenses. Direct
room expenses for comparable Owned Hotels increased by $845,000, or 6.0%, but
decreased as a percentage of room revenue from 27.1% in 1992 to 26.9% in 1993.
Direct food and beverage expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 10.3%, from
$11.4 million in 1992 to $10.2 million in 1993. As a percentage of food and
beverage revenue, direct food and beverage expenses decreased from 87.3% in 1992
to 83.4% in 1993 which reflected an increase in higher margin beverage sales.
For comparable hotels, direct food and beverage expenses increased by $202,000,
or 2.4%, but decreased as a percentage of food and beverage revenue from 86.7%
in 1992 to 84.3% in 1993.
Direct selling and general expenses decreased by $1.7 million, or 7.6%,
from $22.1 million in 1992 to $20.4 million in 1993. As a percentage of hotel
revenue, direct selling and general expenses decreased from 29.3% in 1992 to
25.0% in 1993, primarily due to the divestiture of four full-service hotels in
1992 and 1993, which generally required increased overhead costs. For comparable
Owned Hotels, direct selling and general expenses decreased as a percentage of
hotel revenue from 26.1% in 1992 to 24.8% in 1993, primarily due to the
restructuring of the Company's centralized operations which eliminated certain
allocated central office charges. These cost savings were offset by higher
utility charges as a result of an unusually warm summer in 1993.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.5 million, or 8.6%,
from $17.2 million in 1992 to $15.7 million in 1993. As a percentage of total
revenue, general and administrative charges decreased from 15.7% in 1992 to
14.4% in 1993. These decreases were primarily due to the restructuring of the
Company's centralized management operations in February 1993 which eliminated
approximately $2.5 million of annual costs.
Other income in 1993 consisted primarily of a gain on the sale of a hotel
of $1.0 million, settlement of closing adjustments of $625,000 related to the
sale of a hotel in a prior year, interest of $1.2 million received as part of a
federal tax refund and $500,000 received in settlement of prior year's fees on a
Managed Hotel.
Pretax extraordinary gains of $6.8 million in 1993 relate to the repurchase
of debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations and capital needs through a
combination of cash flow from operations, conversion of non-operating assets to
cash and proceeds from mortgage financings. The Company believes that its cash
flow from operations is sufficient to fund its anticipated working capital
needs, routine capital expenditures and debt service obligations due through
1995. An important component of the Company's growth strategy is to increase its
equity ownership in hotels, particularly in the full-service and all-suites
segments of the market. The Company intends to actively pursue acquisitions of
full-service hotels or hotel portfolios which may also require additional
capital for the costs of any necessary renovation or refurbishment.
Additionally, the Company plans to expand its AmeriSuites hotel brand by opening
or commencing construction on ten AmeriSuites hotels in 1995. The Company plans
to fund its development and acquisition program in 1995 with the proceeds of the
Offering, mortgage financings of $42.6 million being
23
<PAGE> 25
incurred in the first quarter of 1995 and additional mortgage financings on its
unencumbered properties, as well as, potentially, on any properties acquired.
The Company believes that these sources will be adequate to fund the
implementation of its growth strategy in 1995.
At December 31, 1994, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $12.5
million and restricted cash of $9.7 million, which was primarily collateral for
various debt obligations. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $29.0 million
during 1994 primarily due to capital expenditures related to the Company's
development plan.
Cash flow from operations was approximately $28.7 million in 1994 as
compared to $19.7 million in 1993. Cash flow from operations was positively
impacted by the utilization of net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") of $5.9
million and $4.5 million for 1994 and 1993, respectively. At December 31, 1994,
the Company had federal NOLs relating to its predecessor, PMI, of approximately
$117.5 million which are subject to annual utilization limitations and expire
beginning in 2005 and continuing through 2007.
The Company's other major sources of cash in 1994 were a settlement of the
Rose and Cohen note receivable for $31.2 million, mortgage financing and other
borrowings of $19.0 million and other collections of mortgages and notes
receivable of $5.0 million. The Company's major uses of cash in 1994 were
payments of debt of $43.8 million, capital expenditures of $63.4 million and
purchases of debt and other securities of $5.9 million.
Debt. During the first quarter of 1994, the Company purchased at a
discount $7.2 million of its Senior Secured Notes and Junior Secured Notes for
an aggregate purchase price of $7.0 million and retired the debt for a gain of
approximately $200,000. In addition, during the first quarter of 1994, the
Company purchased through a third party agent approximately $5.2 million of its
Senior Secured Notes and Junior Secured Notes for aggregate consideration of
$4.8 million. These notes were held by the third party agent and were not
retired due to certain restrictions under the note agreements. The purchases
were recorded as investments on the Company's balance sheet and gains will not
be recorded on these transactions until the notes mature or are redeemed. In
April 1994, approximately $1.1 million of these notes were retired with a
portion of the proceeds from settlement of the Rose and Cohen note receivable,
resulting in a pretax gain of approximately $100,000.
In April 1994, the Company retired its Senior Secured Notes, due July 31,
1997, with a prepayment of $26.4 million from proceeds of the settlement of the
Rose and Cohen note receivable and other collections from the collateral for the
Senior Secured Notes. The Company issued the Senior Secured Notes on July 31,
1992.
In July 1994, the Company received the required consents from holders of
its Junior Secured Notes to remove certain debt covenants which placed
limitations on the Company's hotel development spending. In consideration of the
consent to the amendment, the Company agreed to increase the interest rate of
the Junior Secured Notes from 9.2% to 10.0% per annum and to shorten the
maturity from July 31, 2000 to July 31, 1999. In addition, the designation of
the Junior Secured Notes changed to Senior Secured Notes as the original Senior
Secured Notes were retired.
In November 1994, the Company obtained mortgage financing of $10.8 million
on two of its unencumbered properties, the proceeds of which were used for the
Company's acquisition and development program in 1994. These notes bear interest
at 11.2% and mature in 2004.
In February 1995, the Company obtained $39.0 million of mortgage financing
on 11 of its unencumbered hotels under two separate loan agreements. Both loans
bear interest at variable rates (approximately 10.5% at closing) and have
five-year maturities. The funds will be used to finance the Company's
acquisition and development program. The Company also expects to incur an
additional $3.6 million of debt in connection with the ShoLodge Transaction. See
"-- Capital Investments."
The Company has $34.9 million of debt obligations related to the
Frenchman's Reef due in December 1996. The Company intends to seek an extension
of the maturity of such debt or refinance it. The debt is secured by the
property which has a book value of $50.0 million.
24
<PAGE> 26
At December 31, 1994, as adjusted to give effect to the Offering and the
incurrence by the Company of $42.6 million of mortgage debt in the first quarter
of 1995, the Company would have had $301.4 million in debt outstanding. Of this
debt approximately $83.7 million will bear interest at floating rates. The
Company has not entered into interest rate protection agreements with respect to
its floating rate debt, and, accordingly, the interest the Company pays on such
debt will increase or decrease depending on the movement of interest rates
generally.
Capital Investments. The Company has implemented a hotel development and
acquisition program which focuses on the acquisition of strategically positioned
full-service hotels or hotel portfolios and the development of AmeriSuites
hotels. The Company spent approximately $51.0 million and assumed $18.7 million
of debt in connection with its development and acquisition program in 1994. The
cash portion was funded by a combination of existing cash balances, cash flow
from operations and mortgage financing.
As part of the Company's full-service acquisition program in 1994, the
Company acquired four full-service hotels: the 183-room Ramada Inn in Clifton,
New Jersey, the 280-room Ramada Inn in Trevose, Pennsylvania (which the Company
has since converted to a Radisson hotel), the 340-room Sheraton hotel in
Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, and the 225-room Sheraton hotel in Mahwah, New
Jersey. The Company is continuing to pursue opportunities to acquire
full-service hotels or hotel portfolios to the extent that attractive
acquisition opportunities are available.
During 1994, the Company opened four newly constructed AmeriSuites hotels
in Overland Park, Kansas, Columbus, Ohio, Tampa, Florida, and Louisville,
Kentucky, and two newly constructed Wellesley Inns in Lakeland and Fort
Lauderdale, Florida. The Company has begun developing or has plans to develop
AmeriSuites on sites it currently owns in the Atlanta, Greensboro, Miami,
Baltimore, Detroit and Cleveland areas and has entered into a contract to
purchase an additional AmeriSuites site in the Dallas area. The Company
currently plans to spend approximately $70.0 million to open or commence
construction on 10 new AmeriSuites hotels in 1995 and has already begun
construction at the Atlanta, Greensboro and Miami sites.
In February 1995, the Company agreed to purchase an AmeriSuites hotel in
Richmond, Virginia and ShoLodge Inc.'s option to acquire a 50% interest in 11 of
the Company's 12 AmeriSuites hotels. The acquisition is scheduled to close on
March 31, 1995. The total consideration payable by the Company in the ShoLodge
Transaction is $34.6 million, of which $16.1 million will be paid in three cash
installments during 1995, and the remaining $18.5 million will be paid in notes
maturing in 1997. The transaction will result in a net increase of $3.6 million
of long-term debt as ShoLodge will forgive certain other existing debt on five
of the 11 AmeriSuites. As a result of the transaction, the Company will manage
these 12 AmeriSuites bringing to 13 the number of AmeriSuites hotels to be owned
and operated by the Company.
The Company continues to pursue its program of refurbishing certain of its
Owned Hotels and repositioning them in order to meet the local market's demand
characteristics. In some instances, this may involve a change in franchise
affiliation. The refurbishment and repositioning program primarily involves
hotels which the Company has recently acquired through mortgage foreclosures or
settlements, lease evictions/terminations or acquisitions. During 1993 and 1994,
the Company spent approximately $5.0 million and $11.9 million on capital
improvements at its Owned Hotels, of which approximately $2.8 million and $8.9
million related to refurbishments and repositionings on 12 Owned Hotels. In
1995, the Company intends to spend approximately $18.0 million on capital
improvements, of which $10.8 million relates to the refurbishing and
repositioning of recently acquired hotels.
Asset Realizations. The Company has pursued a strategy of converting the
mortgage notes receivable and other assets that it owns into cash or operating
hotel assets. Since July 31, 1992, the Company has received $98.5 million in
cash and added seven operating hotel assets through note settlements and lease
terminations. During 1994, the Company reduced its long-term mortgage and notes
receivable portfolio by $81.8 million to $81.3 million at December 31, 1994.
This reduction is primarily attributable to the settlement of the note
receivable from Rose and Cohen described below, which carried a book value of
$25.0 million, for $31.2 million in cash, and the conversion of the Company's
mortgage note receivable secured by the Frenchman's Reef with a book value of
$50.0 million into an operating hotel asset. The Company will
25
<PAGE> 27
continue to pursue settlement with mortgage and note obligors and will utilize
the cash for debt repayments or general corporate purposes.
In April 1994, the Company received a favorable ruling from the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Florida in litigation with
Financial Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA"), with respect to FSA's attempt to
recover a payment made to the Company under the Rose and Cohen note receivable.
In 1993, the Company reached a settlement with Rose and Cohen of an adversary
proceeding regarding a promissory note and personal guarantee. The settlement
provided for Rose or his affiliate to pay the Company the sum of $25.0 million,
all of which was paid into escrow in February 1994, plus proceeds from the sale
of approximately 1.1 million shares of the Company's Common Stock held by Rose.
FSA asserted that it was entitled to receive the settlement proceeds under the
terms of an intercreditor agreement. Upon receipt of the Bankruptcy Court order
in April 1994, the Company used the $25.0 million of settlement proceeds to
retire its Senior Secured Notes. On April 21, 1994, FSA filed its notice of
appeal of the Bankruptcy Court's order. The appeal was argued before the United
States District Court in November 1994 and the decision of the District Court is
pending. During 1994, Rose sold approximately 1.0 million shares of the
Company's Common Stock under the terms of the settlement for net proceeds of
approximately $6.2 million. Subject to further court order, the Company is
required to use the stock proceeds principally to retire Senior Secured Notes.
As the Rose and Cohen note had a book value of $25.0 million on the Company's
balance sheet, approximately $6.2 million was recorded as income in the
Company's statement of operations.
In December 1994, the Company obtained ownership of the Frenchman's Reef
through a pre-negotiated plan of reorganization. The Company had previously
reached an agreement in 1993 to restructure its mortgage notes receivable
secured by the Frenchman's Reef with the general partner of Frenchman's Reef
Beach Associates ("FRBA"), the owner of the hotel. In conjunction with the
agreement, FRBA filed a pre-negotiated chapter 11 petition in September 1993.
During the reorganization period, the Company continued to receive cash payments
on its mortgage notes receivable under a cash collateral order approved by the
Bankruptcy Court. Under the plan of reorganization, which was approved by the
Bankruptcy Court on November 29, 1994, the Company obtained ownership and
control of the hotel.
In addition, during 1994, the Company received $2.2 million in settlement
of other mortgage notes receivable realizing a gain of $125,000. The Company
also sold its fee interests in two hotels in 1994 for a combination of cash and
notes of $2.5 million and realized gains of $1.0 million.

SELECTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA
OF THE COMPANY AND ITS PREDECESSOR
The Company is the successor in interest to the Company's predecessor, PMI,
which emerged from chapter 11 reorganization on the Effective Date, July 31,
1992. PMI had filed for protection under chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code in September 1990. The Company implemented "fresh start"
reporting pursuant to the Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by
Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" of the American Institute
of Certified Public Accountants, as of the Effective Date. Accordingly, the
consolidated financial statements of the Company are not comparable in all
material respects to any such financial statement as of any date or any period
prior to the Effective Date. Subsequent to the Effective Date, the Company
changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. The table below
presents selected consolidated financial data derived from: (i) the Company's
historical financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994,
(ii) the Company's historical financial statements as of and for the five-month
period ended December 31, 1992, (iii) the Company's "fresh start" balance sheet
as of the Effective Date, and (iv) the historical consolidated financial
statements of PMI for the one month ended July 31, 1992 and for the years ended
June 30, 1990, 1991 and 1992. This data should be read in conjunction with the
Consolidated Financial Statements, related notes and other financial information
included and incorporated by reference in this Prospectus.

BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
Prime is a leading hotel owner/operator with a portfolio of 86 hotels
totalling 12,617 rooms. Located primarily in secondary markets in 19 states and
the U.S. Virgin Islands, Prime's hotels operate either under franchise
agreements with hotel brands such as Marriott, Radisson, Sheraton, Holiday Inn,
Ramada and Howard Johnson, or under the Company's proprietary brand names,
AmeriSuites(R) and Wellesley Inns(R). The Company owns or leases 49 hotels and
manages 37 hotels for third parties. Prime holds financial interests in the form
of mortgages or profit participations in 17 of the Managed Hotels. In total, the
Company has equity or financial interests in 66 hotels containing approximately
10,000 rooms.
The Company operates in three major lodging industry segments:
full-service, all-suites and limited-service. Approximately 53% of Prime's hotel
rooms are in full-service hotels. The AmeriSuites hotels, which comprise
approximately 12% of the Company's hotel rooms, are mid-priced, all-suites
hotels, situated near office parks and travel destinations in the Southern and
Central United States. Prime also competes in the limited-service segment, which
comprises approximately 35% of its hotel rooms, primarily through its
economically priced Wellesley Inns, which are located in Florida, the Middle
Atlantic and the Northeast.
Prime is fundamentally committed to hotel equity ownership. Significant
elements of Prime's ownership strategy are strong in-house hotel management and
control of its proprietary brands, both of which have contributed to improved
hotel operating performance. Reflecting Prime's operating strengths, the
Company's hotels generated average operating profit margins that exceeded
comparable industry averages for 1993, as reported by industry sources, by
approximately 25% for full-service hotels, 21% for all-suites hotels and 6% for
limited-service hotels.
The Company's growth strategy is to:
- generate improved results at existing hotels through increased operating
efficiencies;
- acquire full-service hotels with potential for operating and marketing
improvements; and
- expand the AmeriSuites hotel brand to meet growing all-suites segment
demand.
The Company's strategy for improving results at its existing hotels
includes using sophisticated operating, marketing and financial systems and
capitalizing on the operating leverage inherent in the lodging industry.
Implementation of the Company's strategy, together with positive industry
trends, has produced significantly improved performance in recent years.
Exemplifying the Company's operating leverage, during 1994 room revenues
increased 7.4% while net operating income increased 17.0%, as compared to the
prior year, for Company-owned comparable hotels, which are hotels that have been
open for all of 1993 and 1994. Lodging industry analysts expect further
improvement for the lodging sector, and the Company expects to continue to
improve the performance of its existing hotels.
The Company seeks to capitalize on its strength as a full-service hotel
owner/operator and the favorable outlook for the full-service segment by
continuing to pursue the acquisition of full-service hotels. In 1994 the Company
acquired four full-service hotels with approximately 1,000 rooms. With a
continued industry outlook for limited new room supply, steady demand growth and
acquisition prices at discounts to replacement cost in the full-service segment,
Prime believes that the acquisition of full-service hotels will continue to
provide significant growth opportunities.
Prime is also committed to developing its AmeriSuites all-suites hotel
brand. The Company believes that AmeriSuites provides an excellent guest
experience, and offers desirable suite accommodations and other amenities at
mid-scale prices. The performance of AmeriSuites improved significantly in 1994
with REVPAR and net operating income for comparable hotels increasing by 13.1%
and 19.3% over 1993, respectively. During the first quarter of 1995, the Company
will acquire the option of ShoLodge, Inc. to purchase a 50% interest in 11 of
the Company's 12 AmeriSuites hotels and will also acquire the only AmeriSuites
hotel not already owned by Prime (collectively, the "ShoLodge Transaction"),
thereby establishing Prime's exclusive control over the AmeriSuites brand. In
1994 the Company opened four new AmeriSuites. The Company
28
<PAGE> 30
currently plans to open or commence construction of ten new AmeriSuites in 1995
with approximately 1,250 rooms. The Company already owns six development sites
for new AmeriSuites hotels and has begun construction at sites in Atlanta,
Greensboro and Miami.
The Company is the successor in interest to Prime Motor Inns, Inc. and
certain of its subsidiaries ("PMI"), which restructured its operations and
capital structure pursuant to a bankruptcy reorganization completed on July 31,
1992. Under its restructuring, PMI recruited new management and directors,
reduced its liabilities by $448.8 million, revalued its assets to reflect fair
market value, and eliminated unprofitable contract commitments. During the
period from July 31, 1992 through December 31, 1994, the Company further reduced
its debt by $82.6 million from $266.4 million to $183.8 million, and reduced its
portfolio of notes receivable through cash collections and collateral recoveries
by $143.4 million from $226.6 million to $83.2 million. In the process, the
Company increased its investment in hotel fixed assets by $138.9 million from
$160.4 million to $299.3 million, and increased shareholders' equity by $68.5
million from $135.6 million to $204.1 million. With a strengthened balance
sheet, a diminished note receivable portfolio and a significantly increased base
of Owned Hotels, the Company believes that it is well positioned to implement
its growth strategy.
LODGING INDUSTRY
Overview
As a leading owner/operator of hotels, Prime believes that it is well
positioned to benefit from the continuing recovery occurring in the lodging
industry. The recovery has been driven by a favorable supply/demand imbalance
resulting primarily from increased economic activity and the sharp decline in
the growth of the supply of new hotel rooms since 1991. Demand growth exceeded
new supply growth by 3.0% in 1993 and by 3.3% in 1994. Since 1991, demand growth
has outpaced new room supply growth, resulting in an increase in industry-wide
occupancy levels from 60.9% in 1991 to 65.2% in 1994. Higher occupancy levels
have allowed the industry to increase rates. In 1994, ADR increased by 3.8% over
1993 levels, marking the first inflation-adjusted ADR growth since 1986. REVPAR
increased by 7.3% in 1994. Because of the operating leverage inherent in the
lodging industry, increases in REVPAR have had a major impact on hotel operating
performance, with industry pretax profits growing from breakeven levels in 1992
to approximately $4.6 billion in 1994, as estimated by Smith Travel Research.
U.S. Lodging Industry Profile
The following table was compiled from industry operating data as reported
by Smith Travel Research and highlights industry data for the United States and
the regions in which most of the Company's hotels are located: the Middle
Atlantic region, which is comprised of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania;
and the South Atlantic region, which is comprised of Florida, Georgia, South
Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware. The table also
includes operating data concerning the three price levels in which the Company
competes: upscale, mid-price and economy.

Lodging industry analysts expect further improvement for the lodging
sector. The primary reasons contributing to continued growth include:
- Overall supply growth is expected to remain modest in 1995 and 1996 as
replacement costs continue to exceed acquisition prices and the
availability of construction financing remains limited. However, these
disincentives are not equally prevalent in all segments of the industry
as evidenced by the new supply growth in the budget and economy price
levels.
- Room demand growth is expected to continue due to continued economic
growth, expected increases in leisure and international travel and
favorable demographics.
- Higher occupancy rates have provided the industry with pricing power as
evidenced by the 3.8% increase in ADR in 1994, which outpaced the growth
in the consumer price index.

Full-Service Hotels
The Company currently operates 32 full-service hotels under franchise
agreements with Marriott, Radisson, Sheraton, Holiday Inn (including Crowne
Plaza), Ramada and Howard Johnson. The full-service hotels are concentrated in
the Northeast region of the United States. The hotels are generally positioned
along major highways within close proximity to corporate headquarters, office
parks, airports, convention or trade centers and other major facilities. The
customer base for full-service hotels consists primarily of business travelers
and tourists. Consequently, the Company's sales force markets to companies which
have a significant number of employees travelling in the Company's operating
regions who consistently produce a high volume demand for hotel room nights. In
addition, the Company's sales force actively markets meeting and banquet
services to groups and individuals for seminars, business meetings, holiday
parties and weddings.
The Company owns and operates one resort hotel, the Frenchman's Reef in St.
Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. The Frenchman's Reef is a 517-room resort hotel
which includes a 421-room eight-story building and 96 rooms in the adjacent
Morningstar Beach Resort. The Frenchman's Reef has seven restaurants, extensive
convention facilities, complete sports and beach facilities and a self-contained
total energy and desalinization system. The Frenchman's Reef is marketed
directly through its own sales force in New York City and at the hotel, and
through the Marriott reservation system. The Frenchman's Reef markets primarily
to tour groups, corporate meetings, conventions and individual vacationers.
The full-service hotels generally have between 150 and 300 rooms, pool,
restaurant, lounge, banquet and meeting facilities. Other amenities include
fitness rooms, room service, remote-control cable television and facsimile
services. In order to enhance guest satisfaction, the Company has recently
introduced or expanded theme concept lounges such as sports bars, fifties clubs
and country and western bars in a number of its hotels. In recent years, the
Company has received recognition from various franchisors and associations for
its hotel quality and service.

The Company believes opportunities exist for acquisitions of full-service
hotels at attractive multiples of cash flow or at significant discounts to
replacement values. During 1994, the Company acquired the 183-room Ramada Inn in
Clifton, New Jersey, the 280-room Ramada Inn in Trevose, Pennsylvania, which the
Company has since converted to a Radisson, the 340-room Sheraton in Hasbrouck
Heights, New Jersey and the 225-room Sheraton hotel in Mahwah, New Jersey. In
addition, the Company obtained ownership of the 517-room Frenchman's Reef hotel
through a note receivable settlement in 1994. The Company currently plans to
pursue the acquisition of additional full-service hotels in 1995. With a
continued outlook for limited new room supply, steady demand growth and
acquisition prices at discounts to replacement cost in the full-service segment,
Prime believes that the acquisition of full-service hotels will continue to
provide significant growth opportunities.
The majority of the Company's repositioning efforts have been performed at
the full-service hotels. During 1993 and 1994, the Company successfully
completed the repositioning of nine of its full-service hotels which included
changing the franchise affiliations of four such hotels. The Company is in the
process of repositioning two additional full-service hotels, including an $8.5
million project to reposition the recently acquired Hasbrouck Heights Sheraton.
All-Suites Hotels
The Company currently owns 12 AmeriSuites hotels, which are positioned in
the all-suites segment of the lodging industry. AmeriSuites hotels offer guests
an attractively designed suite unit with a complimentary continental breakfast
in a spacious lobby cafe, remote-control cable television and facsimile/computer
service. AmeriSuites is a limited-service concept which offers group meeting
space, but does not include restaurant or lounge facilities. AmeriSuites attract
customers who typically stay in mid-market limited-service and full-service
hotels principally because of the quality of the guest suites, which offer
distinct living, sleeping and kitchen areas. AmeriSuites contain approximately
125 suites and two to four meeting rooms. AmeriSuites are
33
<PAGE> 35
primarily located near corporate office parks and travel destinations in the
Southern and Central parts of the United States. The target customer is
primarily the business traveler with an average length of stay of two to three
nights. AmeriSuites are marketed on a local level primarily through direct sales
and use the ShoLodge reservation system.
In February 1995, the Company entered into the agreements pertaining to the
ShoLodge Transaction, pursuant to which the Company will acquire the option of
ShoLodge to purchase a 50% interest in 11 of the Company's 12 AmeriSuites
hotels. As part of this transaction, the Company will also acquire the only
remaining AmeriSuites not already owned by Prime, thereby establishing Prime's
exclusive control over the AmeriSuites brand.
The following table sets forth for the five years ended December 31, 1994,
certain data with respect to AmeriSuites hotels owned by the Company.

</TABLE>
The Company believes that the all-suites segment will continue to be a high
growth segment of the industry. For 1994, REVPAR for the all-suites segment grew
by 7.8%. The REVPAR growth at the Company's AmeriSuite hotels exceeded this
favorable industry trend. For the six owned AmeriSuites hotels which were opened
for all of 1993 and 1994, REVPAR increased by 13.1% in 1994 resulting in a 19.3%
increase in operating income.
The Company plans to develop the AmeriSuites brand through new
construction. All of the AmeriSuites were constructed within the past five
years. The Company has historically built AmeriSuites at a cost of approximately
$50,000 per room. AmeriSuites have a low cost structure and have generally had
stabilization periods of 24 to 36 months after opening. During 1994, the Company
opened four newly constructed AmeriSuites hotels in Overland Park, Kansas,
Columbus, Ohio, Tampa, Florida, and Louisville, Kentucky. The Company has begun
developing or has plans to develop AmeriSuites on sites it currently owns in
Atlanta, Greensboro, Miami, Baltimore, Detroit and Cleveland areas and has
entered into a contract to purchase an additional AmeriSuites site in the Dallas
area. The Company currently plans to open or commence construction on 10 new
AmeriSuites hotels in 1995 and has already begun construction at the Atlanta,
Greensboro and Miami sites.
Limited-Service Hotels
The Company's limited service hotels consist of 30 Wellesley Inns and 12
other hotels operated under franchise agreements primarily with Howard Johnson.
Of the Company's 30 Wellesley Inns, 16 are located in Florida and the remainder
in the Middle Atlantic and Northeast United States. The Company owns and
operates 14 Wellesley Inns and manages 16 Wellesley Inns for independent owners.
Of the Company-owned Wellesley Inns, ten are located in Florida and four are
located in the Middle Atlantic and the Northeast. The Company has developed
separate strategies for the Wellesley Inns located in Florida and the Wellesley
Inns outside of Florida. In Florida, where the population has grown rapidly and
development opportunities continue to exist, it has built a geographically
concentrated group of Wellesley Inns thereby developing brand name recognition
in Florida. In 1994, the Florida Wellesley Inns average occupancy was
approximately 84.7% and gross operating profits averaged over 51% of hotel
revenues. The prototypical Florida Wellesley Inn has 105
34
<PAGE> 36
rooms and is distinguished by its classic stucco exterior, spacious lobby and
amenities such as continental breakfast, remote control cable television and
facsimile services. The Florida properties are operated through the Company's
Florida regional office. Marketing efforts rely heavily on direct marketing and
billboard advertising. In the Middle Atlantic and Northeast where the Company
believes new development opportunities are limited, the Company has focused on
building the Wellesley Inns system through acquisition and conversion of
existing properties. In 1994, the Wellesley Inns outside of Florida had an
average occupancy of 71.1% and average gross operating profits of 46.6%.
The Company's other limited-service hotels have an average of between 100
and 120 rooms and offer complimentary continental breakfast, remote control
cable television, pool facilities and facsimile services, generally with
restaurant facilities within a short distance of the hotel. They are designed to
appeal primarily to business travelers.
The following table sets forth for the five years ended December 31, 1994,
annual operating data for the 42 limited-service hotels in the Company's
portfolio as of December 31, 1994.

</TABLE>
The majority of the Florida Wellesley Inns were constructed within the past
five years. The Company historically has constructed these properties at a cost
of approximately $40,000 per room, depending on land costs. Florida Wellesley
Inns have a low cost structure and have had rapid stabilization periods
generally within six to twelve months of opening. During 1994, the Company
completed construction of Wellesley Inns in Fort Lauderdale and Lakeland,
Florida and converted a Howard Johnson's hotel in Penns Grove, New Jersey to a
Wellesley Inn.
REFURBISHMENT PROGRAM
The Company continuously refurbishes its Owned Hotels in order to maintain
consistent quality standards. The Company generally spends approximately 4% to
6% of hotel revenue on capital improvements at its Owned Hotels and typically
refurbishes each hotel approximately every five years. The Company believes that
its Owned Hotels are in generally good physical condition, with over half of the
Owned Hotels being five years old or less. The Company recommends the
refurbishment and repair projects on its Managed Hotels although spending
amounts vary based on the financial strength of the hotel and its owner and the
significance of the Company's interest as a mortgagee.
35
<PAGE> 37
In addition to making normal capital improvements, the Company reviews on
an on-going basis each hotel's competitive position in the local market in order
to decide the types of product that will best meet the market's demand
characteristics. During the past two years, the Company has implemented a
program of repositioning its Owned Hotels. Repositioning a hotel generally
requires renovation and refurbishment of the exterior and interior of the
building and may result in a change of brand name. In 1993 and 1994, the Company
spent $2.8 million and $8.9 million on the repositioning of 12 of its Owned
Hotels, which included changing the franchise affiliation of six of such hotels.
While the major refurbishment efforts at the Company's existing hotels have
substantially been completed, the Company's future refurbishing spending will
focus on newly acquired hotels. During 1995, the Company currently plans to
spend approximately $10.8 million to reposition or refurbish recently acquired
hotels.
MORTGAGES AND NOTES RECEIVABLE
As of December 31, 1994, mortgages and notes receivable totalled $83.2
million (including current portion) and consisted of an aggregate principal
amount of $60.6 million of mortgages and notes secured by Owned and Managed
Hotels and $22.6 million of other mortgages and notes secured primarily by other
hotels. The Company has pursued a strategy of converting its mortgage and notes
receivable into cash or operating hotel assets. Since July 31, 1992, the Company
has received $98.5 million in cash and added seven operating hotel assets
through note settlements and lease terminations. During 1994, the Company
reduced its long-term mortgage and notes receivable portfolio by $81.8 million
to $81.3 million at December 31, 1994. This reduction is primarily attributable
to the settlement of the Rose and Cohen note receivable, which carried a book
value of $25.0 million, for $31.2 million in cash, and the conversion of the
Company's mortgage note receivable secured by the Frenchman's Reef with a book
value of $50.0 million into an operating hotel asset. The Company will continue
to pursue settlements with mortgage and note obligors and will utilize the cash
for debt repayments or for general corporate purposes.
The Company's mortgage notes secured by hotel properties consist of notes
with a book value of $46.5 million secured primarily by mortgages on ten Managed
Hotels. These notes currently bear interest at rates ranging from 8.5% to 13.5%
per annum and have various maturities through 2017. The mortgages were primarily
derived from the sales of hotel properties. The Company has restructured
approximately $33.0 million of these mortgages and notes to receive the majority
of available cash flow and a participation in the future excess cash flow of
such hotel properties. The restructurings generally include senior mandatory-
payment notes and junior notes payable annually based on cash flow. The Company
believes that these senior, mandatory-payment notes generally do not exceed the
current realizable value of the hotels they encumber. However, the Company
believes that, taken together, the restructured senior and junior mortgage notes
often exceed the value of the properties they encumber. As a result, these
junior notes bear many of the characteristics and risks of operating hotel
equity investments and are not reflected on the Company's balance sheet. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations --Liquidity and Capital Resources."
In addition to the mortgage positions referred to above, the Company also
holds the junior, accruing or cash flow notes and other interests on other
properties managed by the Company. With regard to these properties, third
parties generally hold significant senior mortgages. Because there is
substantial doubt that the Company will recover any of the value on its junior
notes, none of these subordinated financial interests are valued on the
Company's balance sheet.
In 1994, the Company recognized $15.9 million of interest on mortgages and
notes receivable. Approximately $4.6 million, or 28.9%, of the 1994 interest was
derived from the Company's note receivable secured by the Frenchman's Reef which
was converted into an equity ownership position in December 1994. Approximately
$2.0 million or 12.6% of 1994 interest was derived from the junior notes which
are not valued on the Company's balance sheet. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
36
<PAGE> 38
In addition to mortgages and notes receivable, as of December 31, 1994, the
Company had other assets that totalled $16.9 million, which consisted of real
property not related to Owned Hotels (approximately $8.0 million of which
consisted of an office building).
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company provides hotel management services to third party hotel owners
of 37 Managed Hotels including 16 Wellesley Inns for which the Company provides
the brand name. The number of Managed Hotels declined during 1994 due to the
sale of ten hotels by independent owners, four of which were acquired by the
Company. Management fees are derived from the Managed Hotels based on fixed
percentages of the property's total revenues and performance related incentive
payments based on certain measures of hotel income. Additional fees are also
generated from the rendering of specific services such as accounting services,
construction services, design services and sales commissions. The Company's
fixed management fee percentages range from 1.0% to 5.0% and average 3.5% of the
Managed Hotel's total revenues before giving consideration to performance
related incentive payments. The base and incentive fees comprised approximately
59%, or $5.9 million, of the total management and other fees in 1994. Terms of
the management agreements vary but the majority are short-term and, therefore,
there are risks associated with termination of these agreements. Furthermore,
management agreements may be terminated in connection with a change in ownership
of the underlying hotels. Although such risks may be limited due to the
Company's role as lender or provider of the Wellesley Inn brand name, 18 of the
Managed Hotels, including the 16 Wellesley Inns referenced above, are highly
leveraged with debt maturing in December 1995. There can be no assurance that
such debt can be repaid or restructured by the third party hotel owners in a
manner that would permit the Company to continue as manager of such properties.
The Company holds financial interests in the form of mortgages or profit
participations in 17 of the 37 Managed Hotels and other interests and control
rights (primarily brand control) in 13 of the remaining 20 Managed Hotels.
OPERATIONS
As a leading domestic hotel operating company, the Company enjoys a number
of operating advantages over other lodging companies. With 86 hotels covering a
number of price points and broad geographic regions, the Company possesses the
critical mass to support sophisticated operating, marketing and financial
systems. The Company believes that its broad array of central services permits
on-site hotel general managers to effectively focus on providing guest services,
results in economies of scale and leads to above-market hotel profit margins. As
a result of these operating strategies, the Company's hotels generated average
operating profit margins that exceeded comparable industry averages for 1993, as
reported by industry sources, by approximately 25% for full-service hotels,
approximately 21% for all-suites hotels and approximately 6% for limited-service
hotels.
The Company's operating strategy combines operating service and guidance
from its central management team, with decentralized decision-making authority
delegated to each hotel's on-site management. The on-site hotel management teams
focus on providing guest services and consist of a general manager and,
depending on the hotel's size and market positioning, managers of sales and
marketing, food and beverage, front desk services, housekeeping and engineering.
The Company's operating objective is to exceed guest expectations by providing
quality services and comfortable accommodations at the lowest cost consistent
with each hotel's market position. On-site hotel management is responsible for
efficient expense controls and uses operating standards provided by the Company.
Within parameters established in the operating and capital planning process,
on-site management possesses broad decision-making authority on operating issues
such as guest services, marketing strategies, hiring practices and incentive
programs. Each hotel's management team is empowered to take all necessary steps
to ensure guest satisfaction within established guidelines. Key on-site
personnel participate in an incentive program based on hotel revenues and
profits.
37
<PAGE> 39
The central management team, located in Fairfield, New Jersey, provides
four major categories of services: (i) operations management, (ii) sales and
marketing management, (iii) financial reporting and control and (iv) hotel
support services.
Operations Management. Operations management consists of the development,
implementation and monitoring of hotel operating standards and is provided by a
network of regional operating officers who are each responsible for the
operations of 10 to 15 hotels. They are supported by training, food and beverage
and human resources departments, each staffed full-time by specialized
professionals. The cornerstone of operations management is employee training,
with a staff of professionals dedicated to training in sales, housekeeping, food
service, front desk services and leadership. The Company believes these efforts
increase employee effectiveness, reduce turnover and improve the level of guest
services.
The Company's cost-effective centralized management services benefit not
only its existing operations but also provide additional opportunities for
growth and development from acquisitions. In all of the recently acquired
hotels, the Company's headquarters have assumed certain of the operational
responsibilities which previously had been performed by the on-site hotel
management. In addition, the Company believes it has improved operating
efficiencies for each of these hotels that it has acquired.
Sales and Marketing Management. Aggressive sales and marketing is a top
operating priority. Sales and marketing management is directed by a corporate
staff of 20 professionals, including regional marketing directors who are
responsible for each hotel's sales and marketing strategies, and the Company's
12-member national sales group, Market Segments, Inc. ("MSI"). In cooperation
with the regional marketing and organization staff, on-site sales management
develops and implements short- and intermediate-term marketing plans. The
Company focuses on yield management techniques, which optimize the relationship
between hotel rates and occupancies and seek to maximize profitability. In
addition, the Company assumes prominent roles in franchise marketing
associations to obtain maximum benefit from franchise affiliations. The
Company's in-house creative department creates hotel advertising materials and
programs at cost-effective rates.
Complementing regional and on-site marketing efforts, MSI's marketing team
targets specific hotel room demand generators including tour operators, major
national corporate accounts, athletic teams, religious groups and others with
segment-specialized sales initiatives. MSI's primary objective is to book hotel
rooms at the Company's hotels and its secondary objective is to market its
services on a commission basis to major operators throughout the industry. Sales
activities on behalf of non-affiliated hotels increase the number of hotels
where bookings can be made to support marketing efforts and defray the costs of
the marketing organization.
Financial Reporting and Control. The Company's system of centralized
financial reporting and control permits management to closely monitor
decentralized hotel operations without the cost of financial personnel on site.
Centralized accounting personnel produce detailed financial and operating
reports for each hotel. Additionally, central management directs budgeting and
analysis, processes payroll, handles accounts payable, manages each hotel's
cash, oversees credit and collection activities and conducts on-site hotel
audits.
Hotel Support Services. The Company's hotel support services combine a
number of technical functions in central, specialized management teams to attain
economies of scale and minimize costs. Central management handles purchasing,
directs construction and maintenance and provides design services. Technical
staff teams support each hotel's information and communication systems needs.
Additionally, the Company directs safety/risk management activities and provides
central legal services.

<PAGE> 40
FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS
The Company enters into non-exclusive franchise licensing agreements with
various franchisors, which agreements typically have a ten year term and allow
the Company to benefit from franchise brand recognition and loyalty. The
non-exclusive nature of the franchise agreement allows the Company the
flexibility to continue to develop properties with the brands that have shown
success in the past or to develop in conjunction with other brand names. This
flexibility also plays an important role in the Company's repositioning strategy
for continued earnings growth which emphasizes proper positioning of its
properties within these respective markets to maximize their return on
investment. Over the past two years, the Company has repositioned several hotels
that were either owned or managed or recently acquired. These repositionings
include the Portland, Oregon Crowne Plaza (formerly Howard Johnson), the Las
Vegas, Nevada Crowne Plaza (formerly Howard Johnson), the Saratoga Springs, New
York Sheraton (formerly Ramada Renaissance), the Fairfield, New Jersey Radisson
(formerly Sheraton), the Orlando, Florida Shoney's Inn (formerly Howard
Johnson), and the Trevose, Pennsylvania Radisson (formerly Ramada). The Company
believes its relationships with numerous nationally recognized franchisors
provides significant benefits for both its existing hotel portfolio and
prospective hotel acquisitions. While the Company currently enjoys good
relationships with its franchisors, there can be no assurance that a desirable
replacement would be available if any of the franchise agreements were to be
terminated.
The franchise agreements require the Company to pay annual fees, to
maintain certain standards and to implement certain programs which require
additional expenditures by the Company such as remodeling or redecorating. The
payment of annual fees, which typically total 7% to 8% of room revenues, cover
royalty fees and the costs of marketing and reservation services provided by the
franchisors. The use of franchisor reservation systems typically result in
increased occupancy. Franchise agreements, when initiated, generally provide for
an initial fee in addition to annual fees payable to the franchisor.

as it appears in the Notes Register. (Sections 3.1, 3.5 and 10.2)
The Notes will be issued only in fully registered form, without coupons, in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof. (Section 3.2) No
service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. The Company is not
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Note during a
period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the
mailing of a notice of redemption and ending at the close of business on the
date of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of
Notes being redeemed in part. (Section 3.5)
All monies paid by the Company to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the
payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on any Note which
remain unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest becomes
due and payable may be repaid to the Company. Thereafter, the Holder of such
Note may, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment
thereof. (Section 10.3)
The Indenture does not contain any provisions that would provide protection
to Holders of the Notes against a sudden and dramatic decline in credit quality
of the Company resulting from any takeover, recapitalization or similar
restructuring, except as described below under "Repurchase at Option of Holders
Upon a Risk Event."
CONVERSION RIGHTS
The Notes will be convertible into Common Stock of the Company at any time
up to and including the maturity date (subject to prior redemption by the
Company on not less than 15 nor more than 60 days' notice) at the principal
amount thereof, initially at the conversion price stated on the cover page of
this Prospectus (subject to adjustment as described below). The right to convert
Notes called for redemption or delivered for
42
<PAGE> 44
repurchase will terminate at the close of business on the last Trading Day prior
to the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, unless the Company defaults in
making the payment due upon redemption or repurchase. (Section 13.1) For
information as to notices of redemption, see "-- Optional Redemption."
The conversion price will be subject to adjustment in certain events,
including: (i) dividends (and other distributions) payable in Common Stock on
any class of capital stock of the Company, (ii) the issuance to all holders of
Common Stock of rights, warrants or options entitling them to subscribe for or
purchase Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price, (iii) subdivisions,
combinations and reclassifications of Common Stock, (iv) distributions to all
holders of Common Stock of evidences of indebtedness of the Company, cash or
other assets (including securities, but excluding those dividends, rights,
warrants, options and distributions referred to above and excluding dividends
and distributions paid exclusively in cash), (v) distributions consisting
exclusively of cash (excluding any cash portion of distributions referred to in
(iv) above or cash distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which the
second succeeding paragraph applies) to all holders of Common Stock in an
aggregate amount that, combined together with (a) all other such all-cash
distributions made within the preceding 12 months in respect to which no
adjustment has been made and (b) any cash and the fair market value of other
consideration paid or payable in respect of any tender offers by the Company or
any of its subsidiaries for Common Stock concluded within the preceding 12
months in respect of which no adjustment has been made, exceeds 12.5% of the
Company's market capitalization (defined as being the product of the Current
Market Price of the Common Stock times the number of shares of Common Stock then
outstanding) on the record date for such distribution, and (vi) the purchase of
Common Stock pursuant to a tender offer made by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries which involves an aggregate consideration that, together with (a)
any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration paid or payable in
any other tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries for Common
Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender
offer in respect of which no adjustment has been made and (b) the aggregate
amount of any such all-cash distributions referred to in (v) above to all
holders of Common Stock within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such
tender offer in respect of which no adjustments have been made, exceeds 12.5% of
the Company's market capitalization on the expiration of such tender offer.
There will be no upward adjustment in the conversion price except in the event
of a reverse stock split. No adjustment in the conversion price shall be
required unless such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made) would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price; provided, however,
that any adjustments which by reason of this sentence are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent
adjustment. (Section 13.4)
In addition to the foregoing adjustments, the Company will be permitted to
make such reduction in the conversion price as it considers to be advisable in
order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend or
distribution of stock or stock rights will not be taxable to the holders of the
Common Stock. (Section 13.4)
Subject to the rights of Holders of Notes described below under "Repurchase
at Option of Holders Upon a Risk Event," in case of certain consolidations or
mergers to which the Company is a party or the transfer of substantially all of
the assets of the Company, each Note then outstanding would, without the consent
of any Holders of Notes, become convertible only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon the consolidation, merger or
transfer by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such
Note might have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger
or transfer (assuming such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights
of election and received per share the kind and amount received per share by a
plurality of non-electing shares). (Section 13.11)
Fractional shares of Common Stock will not be issued upon conversion, but,
in lieu thereof, the Company will pay a cash adjustment based upon market price.
(Section 13.1) Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close
of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date
to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date (except Notes called
for redemption on a Redemption Date within such period) must be accompanied by
payment of an amount equal to the interest thereon which the registered Holder
is to receive. In the case of any Note that has been converted after any Regular
Record Date but on or before the next Interest Payment Date, interest whose
Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date will be payable on such
Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion,
43
<PAGE> 45
and such interest will be paid to the Holder of such Note on such Regular Record
Date. Except as described above, no interest on converted Notes will be payable
by the Company on any Interest Payment Date subsequent to the date of
conversion. No other payment or adjustment for interest or dividends will be
made upon conversion. (Sections 3.7 and 13.2)
If at any time the Company makes a distribution of property to its
shareholders that would be taxable to such shareholders as a dividend for
Federal income tax purposes (e.g., distributions of evidences of indebtedness or
assets of the Company, but generally not stock dividends or rights to subscribe
for Common Stock) and, pursuant to the antidilution provisions of the Indenture,
the conversion price of the Notes is reduced, such reduction may be deemed to be
the payment of a taxable dividend to Holders of Notes. If the Company
voluntarily reduces the conversion price for a period of time, Holders of the
Notes may, in certain circumstances, have taxable income equal to the value of
the reduction in the conversion price. Holders of Notes could, therefore, have
taxable income as a result of an event pursuant to which they received no cash
or property that could be used to pay the related income tax.
SUBORDINATION
The payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, the
Notes will, to the extent set forth in the Indenture, be subordinated in right
of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness. Upon any
payment or distribution of assets to creditors upon any liquidation,
dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, marshalling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
proceedings of the Company, the holders of all Senior Indebtedness will be first
entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due thereon
before the Holders of the Notes will be entitled to receive any payment in
respect of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes. In
the event of the acceleration of the maturity of any Notes, the holders of all
Senior Indebtedness will first be entitled to receive payment in full of all
amounts due or to become due thereon before the Holders of the Notes will be
entitled to receive any payment upon the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Notes. In the event and during the continuation of (i) any
default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any
Senior Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto or
(ii) any other event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or other
representative on behalf of the holders thereof) to declare such Senior
Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have
become due and payable, upon written notice thereof to the Company and the
Trustee by any holders of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or other
representative on behalf of the holders thereof) (the "Default Notice"), unless
and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived and such
acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or (iii) any judicial
proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment or event
of default, then no payment may be made in respect of principal or premium, if
any, or interest on the Notes or to acquire or repurchase the Notes for cash or
property or on account of the repurchase provisions of the Indenture provided
such payments may not be prevented under clause (ii) above for more than 179
days after an applicable Default Notice has been received by the Trustee unless
the Senior Indebtedness in respect of which such event of default exists has
been declared due and payable in its entirety, in which case no such payment may
be made until such acceleration has been rescinded or annulled or such Senior
Indebtedness has been paid in full. No event of default which existed or was
continuing on the date of any Default Notice may be made the basis for the
giving of a second Default Notice and only one such Default Notice may be given
in any 365 day period. (Article Twelve)
By reason of such subordination, in the event of insolvency, creditors of
the Company who are not holders of Senior Indebtedness or of the Notes may
recover less, ratably, than holders of Senior Indebtedness and may recover more,
ratably, than the Holders of the Notes.
"Senior Indebtedness" is defined in the Indenture as (i) all indebtedness
of the Company for money borrowed, other than the Notes, whether outstanding on
the date of execution of the Indenture or thereafter created, incurred or
assumed, except any such other indebtedness that by the terms of the instrument
or instruments by which such indebtedness was created or incurred expressly
provides that it (a) is junior in right of payment to the Notes or (b) ranks
pari passu in right of payment with the Notes, and (ii) any
44
<PAGE> 46
amendments, renewals, extensions, deferrals, modifications, refinancings and
refundings of any of the foregoing. The term "indebtedness for money borrowed"
when used with respect to the Company is defined to mean (a) any obligation of
the Company for the repayment of borrowed money (including, without limitation,
fees, penalties, expenses, collection expenses, interest yield amounts and other
obligations in respect thereof, and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding under
the Bankruptcy Code whether or not allowed as a claim in such proceeding),
whether or not evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other written
instruments, and any other obligation evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures or
similar instruments, (b) any deferred payment obligation of the Company for the
payment of the purchase price of property or assets evidenced by a note or
similar instrument (excluding any obligations for trade payables or constituting
the deferred purchase price of assets incurred in the ordinary course of
business), (c) any obligation of the Company for the payment of rent or other
amounts under a lease of property or assets which obligation is required to be
classified and accounted for as a capitalized lease on the balance sheet of the
Company under generally accepted accounting principles, (d) all obligations of
the Company due and payable under interest rate and currency swaps, floors, caps
or similar arrangements intended to fix interest rate obligations or currency
fluctuation risks, (e) all obligations of the Company evidenced by a letter of
credit or any reimbursement obligation of the Company in respect of a letter of
credit and (f) all obligations of others of the kinds described in the preceding
clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) assumed by or guaranteed by the Company and
the obligations of the Company under guarantees of any such obligations.
(Section 1.1)
The Notes will be effectively subordinated to all indebtedness and other
liabilities and commitments (including trade payables and lease obligations) of
the Company's subsidiaries. Any right of the Company to receive assets of any
such subsidiary upon the liquidation or reorganization of any such subsidiary
(and the consequent right of the Holders of the Notes to participate in those
assets) will be effectively subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary's
creditors, except to the extent that the Company is itself recognized as a
creditor of such subsidiary, in which case the claims of the Company would still
be subordinate to any security in the assets of such subsidiary and any
indebtedness of such subsidiary senior to that held by the Company.
The Indenture does not prohibit or limit the incurrence of additional
Senior Indebtedness. At December 31, 1994, the Company's Senior Indebtedness
aggregated approximately $131.2 million, excluding accrued interest, and the
Company's subsidiaries had approximately $52.6 million of indebtedness. The
Company and its subsidiaries are expected to incur an additional $42.6 million
in indebtedness during the first quarter of 1995, and the Company and its
subsidiaries expect from time to time to incur additional indebtedness,
including Senior Indebtedness.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The Notes will be redeemable at the Company's option, in whole or from time
to time in part, upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days' notice mailed to
each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder's address appearing in the
Security Register, on any date on or after April 17, 1998 and prior to maturity.
The Redemption Prices (expressed as percentage of principal amount) are as
follows for the 12-month period beginning April 15 (or April 17, in the case of
1998) of the years indicated:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
<S> <C>
1998............................................... %
1999...............................................
2000...............................................
2001...............................................
</TABLE>
and at maturity at 100% of principal, together in the case of any such
redemption with accrued interest to the Redemption Date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant Regular Record Date to receive interest due on
an Interest Payment Date that is on or prior to the Redemption Date) (Sections
2.3, 11.1, 11.5, and 11.7).
No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.

<PAGE> 47
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The following will be Events of Default under the Indenture: (i) failure to
pay principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due, whether or not such
payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (ii)
failure to pay any interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days, whether
or not such payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of the
Indenture; (iii) default in the payment of the Repurchase Price in respect of
any Note on the Repurchase Date therefor, whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the subordination provisions of the Indenture; (iv) failure to
perform any other covenant of the Company in the Indenture, continued for 60
days after written notice as provided in the Indenture; (v) a default under any
indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary in
an amount, together with all other such indebtedness, exceeding $5,000,000,
which default (a) shall constitute a failure to pay any principal or interest
with respect to any such indebtedness when due and payable after the expiration
of any applicable grace period with respect thereto or (b) shall have resulted
in such indebtedness in an amount exceeding $5,000,000 becoming or being
declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have
become due and payable, if such indebtedness is not discharged, or such
acceleration is not annulled, within 10 days after written notice as provided in
the Indenture; (vi) a final judgment or final judgments for payment of money
against the Company or any Significant Subsidiary which remains undischarged for
a period of 60 days, provided that the aggregate of all such outstanding
judgments exceeds $5,000,000 (excluding any amounts covered by insurance as to
which the insurer has not denied liability); and (vii) certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary. (Section 5.1) Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to
the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its
rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the
Holders, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity. (Section 6.3) Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of
the Trustee, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. (Section 5.12)
If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, either the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may accelerate the maturity of all Notes; provided, however,
that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on
acceleration, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such
acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated
principal, have been cured or waived as provided in the Indenture. (Sections 5.2
and 5.13) For information as to waiver of defaults, see "Modification and
Waiver" below.
No Holder of any Note will have any right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall
have previously (i) given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default and unless also the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee
to institute proceedings, (ii) such Holder has offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity, (iii) the Trustee for 60 days after receipt of such notice has failed
to institute any such proceeding and (iv) no direction inconsistent with such
request shall have been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. (Section
5.7) However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder of
a Note for enforcement of (a) payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
or interest on such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Note, (b) the right to require repurchase of such Note or (c) the right to
convert such Note in accordance with the Indenture. (Section 5.8)
The Indenture provides that the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within
60 days after the end of each fiscal year, an officers' certificate, stating as
to each signer thereof that he or she is familiar with the affairs of the
Company and whether or not to his or her knowledge the Company is in default in
the performance and observance of any of the Company's obligations under the
Indenture and if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults
of which he has knowledge and the nature and status thereof. (Section 10.4)
46
<PAGE> 48
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER AND SALE OF ASSETS
The Company, without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes under
the Indenture, may consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey,
transfer or lease its assets substantially as an entirety to any Person,
provided that (i) the successor is a Person, organized under the laws of any
domestic jurisdiction; (ii) the successor Person, if other than the Company,
assumes the Company's obligations on the Notes and under the Indenture; (iii)
after giving effect to the transaction no Event of Default, and no event which,
after notice or lapse of time, would become an Event of Default, shall have
occurred and be continuing; and (iv) certain other conditions are met. (Section
8.1 and 8.2)
MODIFICATION AND WAIVER
Modifications and amendments of the Indenture may be made by the Company
and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Notes; provided, however, that no such
modification or amendment may, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Note affected thereby, (i) change the Stated Maturity of the
principal of, or any installment of interest on, any Note; (ii) reduce the
principal amount of, or the premium or interest on, any Note; (iii) change the
place of payment where, or currency in which, any Note or any premium or
interest thereof is payable; (iv) impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any payment on or with respect to any Note; (v) adversely affect
the right to convert the Notes; (vi) adversely affect the right to cause the
Company to repurchase the Notes; (vii) modify the subordination provisions in a
manner adverse to the Holders of the Notes; (viii) reduce the above-stated
percentage of Outstanding Notes necessary to modify or amend the Indenture; or
(ix) reduce the percentage of aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Notes
necessary for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or
for waiver of certain defaults. (Section 9.2)
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding
Notes may waive compliance by the Company of certain restrictive provisions of
the Indenture. (Section 10.08) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Notes may waive any past default or right under the
Indenture, except (i) a default in payment of principal, premium or interest,
(ii) the right of a Holder to redeem or convert the Note or (iii) with respect
to any covenant or provision of the Indenture that requires the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Note affected. (Section 5.13)
REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDERS UPON A RISK EVENT
The Indenture provides that if a Risk Event (as defined below) occurs, each
Holder of Notes shall have the right, at the Holder's option, to require the
Company to repurchase all of such Holder's Notes, or any portion thereof that is
an integral multiple of $1,000, on the date (the "Repurchase Date") that is 45
calendar days after the date of the Company Notice (as defined below), for cash
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes to be repurchased
(the "Repurchase Price"), together with accrued interest to the Repurchase Date.
(Section 14.1)
Within 15 calendar days after the occurrence of a Risk Event, the Company
is obligated to mail to all Holders of record of the Notes a notice (the
"Company Notice") of the occurrence of such Risk Event and of the repurchase
right arising as a result thereof. The Company must deliver a copy of the
Company Notice to the Trustee and cause a copy or a summary of such notice to be
published in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York. To
exercise the repurchase right, a Holder of such Notes must deliver on or before
the fifth day preceding the Repurchase Date irrevocable written notice to the
Trustee of the Holder's exercise of such right (except that the right of the
Holders to convert such Notes shall continue until the close of business on the
last Trading Day preceding the Repurchase Date), together with the Notes with
respect to which the right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to the
Company. (Section 14.2)
A Risk Event will be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
(i) any Person (including any syndicate or group deemed to be a
"Person" under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than the
Company, any subsidiary of the Company or any current or future employee or
director benefit plan of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or
any entity holding
47
<PAGE> 49
capital stock of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of such plan, or
an underwriter engaged in a firm commitment underwriting in connection with
a public offering of capital stock of the Company) is or becomes the
beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, through a purchase, merger or
other acquisition transaction or series of transactions, of shares of
capital stock of the Company entitling such Person to exercise 50% or more
of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock of the Company
entitled to vote generally in the election of directors;
(ii) the Company adopts a plan relating to the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company;
(iii) there occurs any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of
the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the
Company, or any sales or transfers of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company to another Person (other than a merger (a) which does
not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of
outstanding shares of Common Stock or (b) which is effected solely to
change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Company and results in a
reclassification, conversion or exchange of outstanding shares of Common
Stock solely into shares of Common Stock); or
(iv) a change in the Board of Directors of the Company in which the
individuals who constituted the Board of Directors of the Company at the
beginning of the twelve-month period immediately preceding such change
(together with any other director whose election by the Board of Directors
of the Company or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the
Company was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then
in office either who were directors at the beginning of such period or
whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease
for any reason to constitute a majority of the directors then in office;
provided, however, that a Risk Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if the
closing price per share of the Common Stock for any five Trading Days within the
period of ten consecutive Trading Days ending immediately before the Risk Event
shall equal or exceed 105% of the conversion price of such Notes in effect on
each such Trading Day. A "beneficial owner" shall be determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3 promulgated by the Commission under the Exchange Act, as in
effect on the date of execution of the Indenture. (Section 14.3)
The right to require the Company to repurchase Notes as a result of the
occurrence of a Risk Event could create an event of default under Senior
Indebtedness as a result of which any repurchase could, absent a waiver, be
blocked by the subordination provisions of the Notes. See "Subordination" above.
Failure of the Company to repurchase the Notes when required would result in an
Event of Default with respect to the Notes whether or not such repurchase is
permitted by the subordination provisions. The Company's ability to pay cash to
the Holders of Notes upon a repurchase may be limited by certain financial
covenants contained in the Company's credit agreements.
Rule 13e-4 under the Exchange Act requires among other things the
dissemination of certain information to security holders in the event of any
issuer tender offer and may apply in the event that the repurchase option
becomes available to Holders of the Notes. The Company will comply with this
rule to the extent applicable at that time.
The repurchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more
difficult or discourage a takeover of the Company and the removal of incumbent
management. The foregoing provisions would not necessarily afford Holders of the
Notes protection in the event of highly leveraged or other transactions
involving the Company that may adversely affect Holders.
Subject to the limitation on mergers and consolidations described above,
the Company could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including
certain recapitalizations, the sale of all or substantially all of its assets,
or the liquidation of the Company, that would not constitute a Risk Event under
the Indenture, but that would increase the amount of Senior Indebtedness (or any
other indebtedness) outstanding at such time or substantially reduce or
eliminate the Company's assets. There are no restrictions in the Indenture on
the creation of Senior Indebtedness (or any other indebtedness) and, under
certain circumstances, the incurrence
48
<PAGE> 50
of significant amounts of additional indebtedness could have an adverse effect
on the Company's ability to service its indebtedness, including the Notes.
If a Risk Event were to occur, no assurance can be given that the Company
would have sufficient funds to repurchase all Notes tendered by the Holders
thereof or to make any principal, premium, if any, or interest payment otherwise
required by the Notes.
As noted above, one of the events that constitutes a Risk Event under the
Indenture is a sale or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets
of the Company. The Indenture will be governed by New York law, and the
definition under New York law of "substantially all" of the assets of a
corporation varies according to the facts and circumstances of the transaction.
Accordingly, if the Company were to engage in a transaction in which it disposed
of less than all of its assets, a question of interpretation could arise as to
whether such disposition was of "substantially all" of its assets and whether
the transaction was a Risk Event.
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
The Company may discharge its obligations under the Indenture while Notes
remain Outstanding if (i) all Outstanding Notes will become due and payable at
their scheduled maturity within one year or (ii) all Outstanding Notes are
scheduled for redemption within one year, and, in either case, the Company has
deposited with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay and discharge all
Outstanding Notes on the date of their scheduled maturity or the scheduled date
of redemption. (Section 4.1)
GOVERNING LAW
The Indenture and Notes will be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to such State's
conflicts of laws principles.
INFORMATION CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Bank One, Columbus, N.A. is the Trustee under the Indenture. A successor
Trustee may be appointed in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
The Trustee's duties are set forth in the Trust Indenture Act, as amended
(the "Trust Indenture Act"), and in the Indenture. The Trust Indenture Act
imposes certain limitations on the right of the Trustee, in the event it becomes
a creditor of the Company, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to
realize on certain property received in respect to any such claim as security or
otherwise. The Trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions;
provided, however, if it acquires any conflicting interest within the meaning of
Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act, it must generally either eliminate such
conflict or resign.
Prior to an Event of Default, the Trustee is responsible to perform only
such duties as are specifically set out in the Indenture. In case an Event of
Default shall occur (and shall not be cured), the Trust Indenture Act requires
that the Trustee use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of
its own affairs in the exercise of its powers. Subject to such provisions, the
Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers
under the Indenture at the request of any of the Holders of Notes, unless they
shall have offered to the Trustees reasonable security or indemnity. (Section
6.3)

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 50,000,000 shares
of Common Stock and 20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock.
COMMON STOCK
At March 8, 1995, 30,556,385 shares of Common Stock were issued and
outstanding. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on all
matters submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders, including the
election of directors. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
Subject to the preferential rights of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock,
the holders of Common Stock will be entitled to such dividends as may be
declared from time to time by the Board of Directors from funds legally
available therefor, and will be entitled to receive pro rata all assets of the
Company available for distribution to such holders upon liquidation. No shares
of Common Stock have any preemptive or conversion rights, or the benefit of any
sinking fund. All shares of Common Stock are fully paid and non-assessable.
PREFERRED STOCK
The Board of Directors has authority to establish the designations,
liquidation preferences, dividend rights, terms of redemption, conversion
rights, sinking fund terms and all other preferences and rights (including
voting rights) of any series of Preferred Stock. The ability of the Board of
Directors to issue Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection
with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other
things, adversely affect the voting powers of holders of Common Stock and, under
certain circumstances, may discourage an attempt by others to gain control of
the Company.
WARRANTS
Warrants to purchase 2,106,383 shares of the Company's Common Stock were
issued to former shareholders of the Company's predecessor, PMI, in partial
settlement of their bankruptcy interests. The warrants became exercisable on
August 31, 1993 at an exercise price of $2.71 per share. The exercise price was
determined from the average per share daily closing price of the Company's
Common Stock during the year following the Effective Date. As of December 31,
1994, warrants to purchase 250,497 shares of Common Stock had been exercised.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Certain provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the
Company summarized below may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may
delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder
might consider in its best interest, including an attempt that might result in a
premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.
Staggered Board of Directors. The Certificate of Incorporation and the
Bylaws provide that the Board of Directors will be divided into three classes of
Directors, each class constituting approximately one-third of the total number
of Directors and with the classes serving staggered three-year terms. The
classification of Directors will have the effect of making it more difficult for
shareholders to change the composition of the Board of Directors. The Company
believes, however, that the longer time required to elect a majority of a
classified Board of Directors will help to ensure continuity and stability of
the Company's management and policies.
The classification provisions could also have the effect of discouraging a
third party from accumulating large blocks of the Company's stock or attempting
to obtain control of the Company, even though such an attempt might be
beneficial to the Company and its stockholders. Accordingly, stockholders could
be deprived of certain opportunities to sell their shares of Common Stock at a
higher market price than might otherwise be the case.
Fair Price Provisions. Provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation (the
"Fair Price Provisions") limit the ability of an Interested Stockholder (defined
as the beneficial owner of 20% of outstanding voting shares)
50
<PAGE> 52
to effect certain transactions involving the Company. Unless the Fair Price
Provisions are satisfied, an Interested Stockholder may not engage in a business
combination involving the Company unless approved by 75% of the Company's
outstanding voting shares or a majority of the Disinterested Directors (as
defined therein). A business combination includes a merger, consolidation, sale
of assets valued at over $25.0 million or issuance or transfer of securities
valued at over $25.0 million, or a similar transaction. In general, the Fair
Price Provisions require that an Interested Shareholder pay shareholders at
least the same amount of cash or the same amount and type of consideration paid
by the Interested Shareholder when it initially acquired the Company's shares.
The Fair Price Provisions are designed to discourage attempts to take over
the Company in non-negotiated transactions utilizing two-tier pricing tactics,
which typically involve the accumulation of a substantial block of the target
corporation's stock followed by a merger or other reorganization of the acquired
company on terms determined by the purchaser. Due to the difficulties of
complying with the requirements of the Fair Price Provisions, the Fair Price
Provisions generally discourage attempts to obtain control of the Company.
LIMITATIONS ON DIRECTORS' LIABILITY
The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director of the
Company shall be liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages
for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any
breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) in respect of certain unlawful
dividend payments or stock redemptions or redemptions or repurchases pursuant to
Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for any transaction
from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. The effect of
these provisions is to eliminate the rights of the Company and its stockholders
(through stockholders' derivative suits on behalf of the Company) to recover
monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director
(including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior), except in the
situations described above. These provisions will not limit the liability of
directors under Federal securities laws.
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF DELAWARE LAW REGARDING AN INTERESTED STOCKHOLDER
Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law prohibits certain
transactions between a Delaware corporation and an "interested stockholder,"
which is defined as a person who, together with any affiliates or associates of
such person, beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, 15% or more of the
outstanding voting shares of a Delaware corporation. This provision prohibits
certain business combinations (defined broadly to include mergers,
consolidations, sales or other dispositions of assets having an aggregate value
in excess of 10% of the consolidated assets of the corporation, and certain
transactions that would increase the interested stockholder's proportionate
share ownership in the corporation) between an interested stockholder and a
corporation for a period of three years after the date the interested
stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, unless (i) the business
combination is approved by the corporation's board of directors prior to the
date the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder; (ii) the
interested stockholder acquired at least 85% of the voting stock of the
corporation (other than stock held by directors who are also officers or by
certain employee stock plans) in the transaction in which it becomes an
interested stockholder; or (iii) the business combination is approved by a
majority of the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of 66 2/3% of the
outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

UNDERWRITING
The Underwriters named below have severally agreed, subject to the terms
and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement, to purchase from the Company, the
respective principal amounts of Notes set forth opposite their names below. The
Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the Underwriters to pay

The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose initially to
offer the Notes to the public on the terms set forth on the cover page of this
Prospectus. The Underwriters may allow to selected dealers a commission of not
more than % of the principal amount of Notes, and the Underwriters may
allow, and such dealers may reallow a discount of not more than % of the
principal amount of the Notes to other dealers. The public offering price and
the concession and discount to dealers may be changed by the Underwriters after
the initial public offering of the Notes. The Notes are offered subject to
receipt and acceptance by the Underwriters, and to certain other conditions,
including the right to reject orders in whole or in part.
The Company has granted the Underwriters an option for 30 days to purchase
up to an additional $11,250,000 principal amount of Notes solely to cover
over-allotments, if any, at the same price per Note as the initial $75,000,000
principal amount of Notes to be purchased by the Underwriters. To the extent the
Underwriters exercise this option, each of the Underwriters will be committed to
purchase such additional Notes in approximately the same proportion as set forth
in the above table.
The Underwriting Agreements provides that the Company will indemnify the
Underwriters against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the
Securities Act or will contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required
to make in respect thereof.
The Notes are a new issue of securities for which there is currently no
public market. The Company is applying to have the Notes listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. However, no assurance can be given as to the liquidity of or
trading market for the Notes.
Directors and executive officers of the Company, who in the aggregate
own shares (including options to purchase shares) of Common Stock,
have agreed not to offer for sale, sell, distribute or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or warrants to
purchase shares of Common Stock, now owned or hereafter acquired for a period of
approximately 90 days after the date of this Prospectus without prior written
consent of the Underwriters.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Prime Hospitality Corp.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prime
Hospitality Corp. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries ("the Company") as
of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and the five months
ended December 31, 1992. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Prime Hospitality Corp. and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and the five months
ended December 31, 1992 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

PRIME HOSPITALITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1992, 1993 AND 1994
NOTE 1 -- BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS ACTIVITIES:
Prime Hospitality Corp. (the "Company") is a hotel owner/operator with
ownership or management of hotels in the United States and the U.S. Virgin
Islands. The Company's hotels primarily provide moderately priced, quality
accommodations in secondary markets, and operate under franchise agreements
with national hotel chains or under the Company's proprietary Wellesley
Inns or AmeriSuites brand names.
The Company emerged from the Chapter 11 reorganization proceeding of its
predecessor, Prime Motor Inns, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries
("PMI"), which consummated its Plan of Reorganization ("the Plan") on July
31, 1992 (the "Effective Date"). PMI and certain of its subsidiaries had
filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code
in September of 1990. During the reorganization, PMI re-negotiated most of
its leases, management agreements and debt commitments, resulting in the
elimination of a substantial number of unprofitable contract relationships
and excessive debt obligations.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
Pursuant to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountant's
Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in
Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"), the Company adopted
fresh start reporting as of July 31, 1992. Under fresh start reporting, the
reorganization value of the entity was allocated to the reorganized
Company's assets on the basis of the purchase method of accounting. The
reorganization value (the approximate fair value) of the assets of the
emerging entity was determined by consideration of many factors and various
valuation methods, including discounted cash flows and price/earnings and
other applicable ratios believed by management to be representative of the
Company's business and industry. Liabilities were recorded at face values,
which approximate the present values of amounts to be paid determined at
appropriate interest rates. Under fresh start reporting, the consolidated
balance sheet as of July 31, 1992 became the opening consolidated balance
sheet of the emerging Company.
In accordance with SOP 90-7, financial statements covering periods prior to
July 31, 1992 are not presented because such statements have been prepared
on a different basis of accounting and are thus not comparable.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
CASH EQUIVALENTS:
Cash equivalents are highly liquid unrestricted investments with a maturity
of three months or less when acquired.

PRIME HOSPITALITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
RESTRICTED CASH:
Restricted cash consists primarily of highly liquid investments that serve
as collateral for debt obligations due within one year.
MORTGAGES AND NOTES RECEIVABLE:
Mortgages and notes receivable are reflected at their fair value as of July
31, 1992, adjusted for payments and other advances since that date. The
amount of interest income recognized on mortgages and notes receivable is
generally based on the stated interest rate and the carrying value of the
notes. The Company has a number of subordinated or junior mortgages which
remit payment based on hotel cash flow. Because there is substantial doubt
that the Company will recover their face value, these mortgages have not
been valued in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Interest on
cash flow mortgages and delinquent loans is generally recognized when cash
is received.
PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS:
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements that the Company intends to
continue to operate are stated at their fair market value as of July 31,
1992 plus the cost of acquisitions subsequent to that date less accumulated
depreciation and amortization from August 1, 1992. Provision is made for
depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the assets. Properties identified for disposal
are stated at their estimated net realizable value.
INCOME TAXES:
The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Federal income tax
return. For financial reporting purposes, the Company follows Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109 ("FAS 109"). In accordance with FAS 109, as well as SOP 90-7, income
taxes have been provided at statutory rates in effect during the period.
Tax benefits associated with net operating loss carryforwards and other
temporary differences that existed at the time fresh start reporting was
adopted are reflected as a contribution to stockholders' equity in the
period in which they are realized.
NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:
Net income per common share is computed based on the weighted average
number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during
each period. The weighted average number of common shares used in computing
primary net income per share was 29,913,000 for the five months ended
December 31, 1992 and 30,721,000 and 32,022,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively. Net income per common shares was
restated for all periods to reflect a 9.4% reduction in the number of
shares distributed under PMI's Plan (See Note 10). The dilutive effect of
stock warrants and options during the five months ended December 31, 1992
and the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 was not material (see Note
10).
RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 1992 and 1993
consolidated financial statements to conform them to the December 31, 1994
presentation.

(a) The Company is the holder of mortgage notes receivable with a book value of
$46,497,000 secured primarily by 10 hotel properties operated by the Company
under management agreements and $14,112,000 in mortgages secured primarily
by 4 properties operated under lease agreements. These notes currently bear
interest at rates ranging from 8.5% to 13.5% and mature through 2017. The
mortgages were primarily derived from the sales of hotel properties. Many of
the managed properties were unable to pay in full the annual debt service
required under the terms of the original mortgages. The Company has
restructured approximately $33,000,000 of these loans to pay based upon
available cash and a participation in the future excess cash flow of such
hotel properties. The restructurings generally include a "senior portion"
featuring defined payment terms, and a "junior portion" payable annually
based on cash flow. The junior portion represents the difference between the
original mortgage and the new senior portion and provides the Company the
opportunity to recover that difference if the hotel's performance improves.
In addition to the junior portion of the restructured mortgages, the Company
holds junior or other cash flow mortgages and subordinated interests in
other hotel properties operated by the Company under management agreements.
The Company's consolidated balance sheets do not reflect any value related
to the junior portions of the restructured notes or the junior mortgages and
subordinated interests on the other hotels as there is substantial doubt
that the Company will recover any of their face value. During 1993 and 1994,
the Company recognized $976,000 and $2,000,000, respectively, of interest
income related to these mortgages.
(b) Other notes receivable currently bear interest at effective rates ranging
from 4% to 10.5%, mature through 2011 and are secured primarily by hotel
properties not currently managed by the Company.
(c) The mortgage notes secured by the Frenchman's Reef Resort Hotel
("Frenchman's Reef") consisted of first and second mortgages with face
values of $53,383,000 and $25,613,000, respectively, with final scheduled
principal payments of $51,976,000 and $25,613,000 due on July 31, 1995. In
connection with the adoption of fresh start reporting, the Company valued
the notes at $50,000,000.

PRIME HOSPITALITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
During the five months ended December 31, 1992, and years ended December 31,
1993 and 1994 the Company recognized $1,770,000, $4,250,000 and $4,586,000
of interest income on these notes, respectively, based on the level of cash
flow generated from the hotel property available to service the notes.
In December 1994, the Company obtained ownership of Frenchman's Reef in
satisfaction of the mortgage note receivable through a pre-negotiated plan
of reorganization. The Company had previously reached an agreement in 1993
to restructure its mortgage notes receivable secured by Frenchman's Reef
with the general partner of Frenchman's Reef Beach Associates ("FRBA"), the
owner of the hotel. In conjunction with the agreement, FRBA filed a
pre-negotiated chapter 11 petition in September 1993. During the
reorganization period, the Company continued to receive cash payments on its
mortgage notes receivable under a cash collateral order approved by the
Bankruptcy Court. Under the plan of reorganization, which was approved by
the Bankruptcy Court on December 16, 1994, the Company obtained ownership
and control of the hotel. As a result of obtaining this control, the Company
reallocated its basis in the mortgage note receivable to the various
operating assets acquired (principally land, hotel building and furniture
and fixtures) based upon their respective fair market value.
(d) The note receivable from Rose and Cohen represented the estimated fair
market value as of July 31, 1992 of certain amounts loaned by PMI to
entities controlled by Allan Rose and Arthur Cohen ("Rose and Cohen").
During 1993, the Company reached a settlement with Rose and Cohen of an
adversary proceeding regarding a promissory note and personal guarantee,
commenced by a subsidiary of PMI during 1991. The settlement provided for
Rose or his affiliate to pay the Company the sum of $25 million, plus
proceeds from approximately 1.1 million shares of the Company's common stock
held by Rose.
Financial Security Assurance, Inc. ("FSA") asserted that it was entitled to
receive the settlement proceeds under the terms of a certain intercreditor
agreement. In April 1994, the Court approved the settlement and ruled that
the Company had an exclusive right to the settlement proceeds. Upon receipt
of the order, the Company used the $25 million of settlement proceeds to
retire certain senior secured notes (see Note 6). On April 21, 1994, FSA
filed its notice of appeal of the Court's order. During 1994, Rose sold
approximately 1.0 million shares of the Company's common stock under the
terms of the settlement for net proceeds of approximately $6.2 million.
Since the Rose and Cohen note had a book value of $25 million at the time of
the settlement, approximately $6.2 million was recorded as income in the
Company's statement of operations.
All proceeds received pursuant to the settlement after April 21, 1994 have
been held in escrow until an order on the appeal is received. The Company
believes that FSA is unlikely to prevail on its claim, and as a result, does
not believe it will have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated
financial statements. Upon receipt of a favorable order from the Court,
substantially all of the net proceeds are required to be used to retire
additional debt (see Note 6).

(a) Pursuant to the Plan, the Company issued two classes of Secured Notes which
are identified as "Senior Secured Notes" and "Junior Secured Notes". The
aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes issued under the Plan was
$91,300,000, comprised of $30,100,000 of 8.20% Fixed Rate Senior Secured
Notes and $61,200,000 of Adjustable Rate Senior Secured Notes. The aggregate
principal amount of Junior Secured Notes issued under the Plan was
approximately $70,000,000.
During 1994, the Company repurchased $6,527,000 of its Adjustable Rate
Senior Secured Notes, $217,000 of its 8.20% Senior Secured Notes and
$461,000 of its 9.20% Junior Secured Notes for an aggregate purchase price
of $7,018,000. The repurchases resulted in pretax extraordinary gains of
$187,000. In April 1994, the Company retired its Senior Secured Notes with a
pre-payment of $26,408,000.
In addition to the repurchases described above, during 1994 the Company
purchased through a third party agent approximately $5,200,000 of its Senior
Secured Notes and Junior Secured Notes for aggregate consideration of
approximately $4,800,000. These notes are currently held by the third party
agent and have not been retired due to certain restrictions under the note
agreements. The purchases were recorded as investments on the Company's
balance sheet and no gain will be recorded on these transactions until the
notes mature or are redeemed. In April 1994, approximately $1,100,000 of the
notes were retired from the proceeds of the Rose and Cohen settlement (See
Note 3) resulting in a pretax extraordinary gain of approximately $100,000.
In August 1994, approximately $37,000 was retired resulting in a pretax
extraordinary gain of $5,000. As of December 31, 1994, the Company had
unrecognized holding gains of approximately $295,000 related to these
securities.
In 1994, the Company received consents from the required holders of its
Junior Secured Notes to remove certain debt covenants which placed
limitations on the Company's hotel development spending. In consideration of
the amendment consent, the Company agreed to increase the coupon interest
rate from 9.2% to 10.0% and to shorten the maturity by one year, from July
31, 2000 to July 31, 1999. In addition, the designation of these notes was
changed from Junior Secured Notes to Senior Secured Notes, as the original
Senior Secured Notes were retired.
The collateral for the Secured Notes consists primarily of mortgages and
notes receivable and real property, net of related liabilities (the "Secured
Note Collateral"), with a book value of $92,215,000 as of December 31, 1994.
Interest on the Secured Notes is payable semi-annually. The Secured Notes
require that 85% of the cash proceeds from the Secured Note Collateral be
applied first to interest then to prepayment of principal. Aggregate
principal payments on the Secured Notes are required in order that one-third
of the principal balance outstanding on December 31, 1996 is paid by July
31, 1998 and all of the balance is paid by July 31, 1999. To the extent the
cash proceeds from the Secured Note Collateral are insufficient to pay
F-12

PRIME HOSPITALITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
interest or required principal payments on the Secured Notes, the Company
will be obligated to pay any deficiency out of its general corporate funds.
The Secured Notes contain covenants which, among other things, require the
Company to maintain a net worth of at least $100,000,000, and preclude cash
distributions to stockholders, including dividends and redemptions, until
the Secured Notes have been paid in full.
(b) The Company has mortgage and other notes payable of approximately
$74,713,000 that are secured by mortgage notes receivable and hotel
properties with a book value of $110,476,000. Principal and interest on
these mortgages and notes are generally paid monthly. At December 31, 1994
these notes bear interest at rates ranging from 4.68% to 12.45% and mature
through 2008.
At December 31, 1994, the Company has outstanding loans in the amount of
$39,896,000 payable to ShoLodge, Inc. ("ShoLodge"). The foregoing loans are
secured by AmeriSuites hotel properties with an aggregate book value of
$63,824,000. The notes bear interest at 10.25% and mature in April 1997. The
Company expects to incur an additional $3,600,000 of debt in the first
quarter of 1995 in connection with its purchase of ShoLodge's option to
acquire a 50% interest in Suites of America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company (see Note 9).
The Company has $11,614,000 of notes restructured under the Plan which bear
interest at rates ranging from 8.00% to 9.20% per annum payable
semi-annually. Prior to maturity, principal amounts outstanding will be paid
semi-annually based on a thirty-year amortization schedule. Each note
matures on July 31, 2002 and is secured by a lien on mortgage notes
receivable and hotel properties with a book value of $11,129,000 at December
31, 1994.
The Company has other notes of $3,156,000, which bear interest at rates
ranging from 8.0% to 8.2% and mature through 1999.
In February 1995, the Company obtained $39 million of mortgage financing
secured by hotels under two separate loan agreements. Both loans bear
interest at variable rates (approximately 10.50% at December 31, 1994) and
mature in 2000.

The Company does not provide any material post employment benefits to its

Contingent Claims
The Company is involved in various other proceedings incidental to the
normal course of its business. The Company believes that the resolution of these
contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Financial Instruments and Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company's accounts receivable and mortgages and other notes receivable
(see Note 3) are derived primarily from and are secured by hotel properties,
which constitutes a concentration of credit risk. These notes are subject to
many of the same risks as the Company's operating hotel assets. A significant
portion of the collateral is located in the Northeastern and Southeastern United
States.
In addition to the hotel property related receivables referred to above,
the Company's financial instruments include (i) assets; cash and cash
equivalents and restricted cash investments and (ii) liabilities; trade and
notes payable and long-term debt (see Note 6). As described in Note 1, in
connection with the adoption of fresh start accounting as of July 31, 1992, the
Company revalued its assets and liabilities at amounts approximating fair market
value. Since there have been no substantive adverse changes in market conditions
since the date of the revaluation and on the basis of market quotes and
experience on recent redemption offers for the Company's long-term debt, the
Company believes that the carrying amount of these financial instruments
approximated their fair market value as of December 31, 1993 and 1994.
As a result of the reorganization proceedings and the rejection of certain
leases, management contracts and other guarantees, the Company has no other
material off-balance-sheet liabilities or credit risk as of December 31, 1994.

At December 31, 1994, the Company had available federal net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $117,500,000 which will expire beginning in 2005
and continuing through 2007. Of this amount, $104,800,000 is subject to an
annual limitation of $8,735,000 under the Internal Revenue Code due to a change
in ownership of the Company upon consummation of the Plan. The Company also has
potential state income tax benefits relating to net operating loss carryforwards
of approximately $9,262,000 which will expire during various periods from 1995
to 2006. Certain of these potential benefits are subject to annual limitations
similar to federal requirements due to factors such as the level of business
conducted in each state and the amount of income subject to tax within each
state's carryforward period.
In accordance with FAS 109, the Company has not recognized the future tax
benefits associated with the net operating loss carryforwards or with other
temporary differences. Accordingly, the Company has provided a valuation
allowance of approximately $41,000,000 against the deferred tax asset as of
December 31, 1994. To the extent any available carryforwards or other tax
benefits are utilized, the amount of tax benefit realized will be treated as
contribution to stockholders' equity and will have no effect on the income tax

(a) The Company manages 15 hotels for partnerships in which related parties own
various interests. The income amounts shown above primarily include
transactions related to these hotel properties.
(b) In 1991, the Company entered into an agreement with ShoLodge, a company
controlled by a former director, whereby ShoLodge was appointed the
exclusive agent to develop and manage certain hotel properties. The Company
had loans payable to ShoLodge of $39,896,000 at December 31, 1994 related to
the development of hotels. The Company also uses the ShoLodge reservation
system for its Wellesley and AmeriSuites properties.
In February 1995, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
ShoLodge's option to purchase a 50% interest in 11 of the Company's
AmeriSuites hotels and will also acquire the only remaining AmeriSuites
hotel not already owned by the Company. The total consideration payable by
the Company in this transaction is $34,600,000 of which $16,100,000 will be
paid in three cash installments during 1995 and the remaining $18,500,000
will be paid in notes maturing in 1997. As a result of this transaction,
which is scheduled to close on March 31, 1995, the Company will take over
the management of these hotels.
NOTE 10 -- COMMON STOCK AND COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS
Pursuant to the Plan, on July 31, 1992 the Company began distributing
shares of common stock to certain claimants and holders of PMI stock. The Plan
provided for issuance of up to 33,000,000 shares of common stock; however, the
number of shares ultimately distributed were 29,913,000. The consolidated
financial statements had previously given full effect to the issuance of the
maximum amount of 33,000,000 shares under the Plan. During 1994, when the
Company resolved the final share distribution, it restated net income for all
prior periods to reflect the 9.4% reduction in the number of shares. In addition
to the shares distributed under the Plan, warrants to purchase 2,106,000 shares
of the Company's common stock were issued to former shareholders of the
Company's predecessor, PMI, in partial settlement of their bankruptcy interests.
The warrants became exercisable on August 31, 1993 at an exercise price of $2.71
per share and expire five years after the date of grant. The exercise price was
determined from the average per share daily closing price of the Company's
common stock during the year following its reorganization on July 31, 1992. As
of December 31, 1994 warrants to purchase 250,497 shares have been exercised.

PRIME HOSPITALITY CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
On July 31, 1992, the Company adopted various stock option and performance
incentive plans under which options to purchase up to 1,650,000 shares of common
stock may be granted to directors, officers or key employees under terms
determined by the Board of Directors. During 1992, options to purchase 350,000
shares were granted to officers and directors, 240,000 of which are exercisable
at December 31, 1994. In addition, options to purchase 330,000 shares were
granted to a former officer in 1992. Such options are currently exercisable and
expire on July 31, 1995. At December 31, 1994, 180,000 of these options were
exercised. The exercise prices of the above options are based on the average
market price one year from the date of grant which was determined to be $2.71
per share. Based on this exercise price, the amount of compensation expense
attributable to these options was $225,000 and $60,000 for the years ended
December 31, 1993 and 1994, respectively.
In June 1993, options to purchase 393,000 shares of common stock were
granted to employees under the Company's stock option plan. The options were
granted at $3.63, which approximates the fair market value at the date of grant.
Generally, options can be exercised during a participant's employment with the
Company in equal annual installments over a three-year period and expire six
years after the date of grant. During 1994, 41,080 shares were exercised.
In August 1993, options to purchase 315,000 shares of common stock were
granted to the members of the Company's Board of Directors. The options were
granted at $3.20, which approximates the fair market value at the date of grant.
One-third of these options became exercisable at the date of grant and the
remaining options can be exercised in equal annual installments over a two-year
period. The options expire six years after the date of grant. During 1994,
25,000 shares were exercised.
In January 1994, options to purchase 50,000 shares of common stock were
granted to a member of the Company's Board of Directors. The options were
granted at $7.375, which approximates the fair market value at the date of
grant. The options can be exercised in equal annual installments over a four
year period. The options expire six years after the date of grant.
In August 1994, options to purchase 317,100 shares of common stock were
granted to employees under the Company's performance incentive plan. The options
were granted at $7.625, which approximates the fair market value at the date of
grant. Generally, options can be exercised during a participant's employment
with the Company in equal annual installments over a three-year period and
expire six years after the date of grant.
In December 1994, options to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock were
granted to new members of the Company's Board of Directors. The options were
granted at $7.125, which approximates the fair market value at the date of
grant. One-third of these options became exercisable at the date of grant and
the remaining options can be exercised in equal annual installments over a two
year period. The options expire six years after the date of grant.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") empowers a
Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative
(other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the
fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. A
corporation may, in advance of the final disposition of any civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding, pay the expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by any officer, director, employee or agent
in defending such action, provided that the director or officer undertake to
repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not
entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. A corporation may indemnify such
person against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith
and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors in an action by
or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor under the
same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial
approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation.
Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or
her against the expenses (including attorneys' fees) which he or she actually
and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. The indemnification provided is
not deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director
may be entitled under any corporation's by-law, agreement, vote or otherwise.
In accordance with Section 145 of the DGCL, Article 8 of the Company's
Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Restated Certificate") and the
Company's By-Laws (the "By-Laws") provide that the Company shall indemnify to
the fullest extent permitted under and in accordance with the laws of the State
of Delaware any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party
to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that he
is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was
serving at the request
II-1
<PAGE> 75
of the Company as director, officer, trustee, employee or agent of or in any
other capacity with another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines
and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in
a manner he reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no
reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The indemnification
provided by the Restated Certificate and the By-Laws shall not be deemed
exclusive of any other rights to which any of those seeking indemnification or
advancement of expenses may be entitled under any other contract or agreement
between the Company and any officer, director, employee or agent of the Company.
Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding
shall (in the case of any action, suit or proceeding against a director of the
Company) or may (in the case of any action, suit or proceeding against an
officer, trustee, employee or agent) be paid by the Company in advance of the
final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board
of Directors of the Company upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of
the indemnified person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined
that he is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. Subparagraph (d) of
Article 8 of the Restated Certificate provides that neither the amendment or
repeal of, nor the adoption of any provision inconsistent with, the
above-referenced provisions of the Restated Certificate shall eliminate or
reduce the effect of such provisions in respect of any matter occurring before
such amendment, repeal or adoption of an inconsistent provision or in respect of
any cause of action, suit or claim relating to any such matter which would have
given rise to a right of indemnification or right to receive expenses pursuant
to such provisions if any such provision had not been so amended or repealed or
if a provision inconsistent therewith had not been so adopted. Subparagraph (e)
of Article 8 of the Restated Certificate provides that a director of the Company
shall not be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary
damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders,
(ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL or
any amendment thereto or successor provision thereto, or (iv) for any
transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. If the
DGCL is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting
the personal liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the
Company shall be eliminated or limited to the fullest extent permitted by the
DGCL as so amended.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
(1) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to its Certificate, By-laws, the Underwriting Agreement or
otherwise, the Registrant had been advised that, in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In
the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(2) The Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(a) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of
this Registration Statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a
form of prospectus filed by the Registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or
(4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of the
Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(b) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and this Offering of such securities at that time shall be
deemed to be the initial bona fide Offering thereof.
(3) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to file an application for
the purpose of determining the eligibility of the trustee to act under
subsection (a) of Section 310 of the Trust Indenture Act ("Act") in accordance
with the rules and regulations prescribed by the Commission under Section
305(b)(2) of the Act.

Dear Sirs:
SECTION 1. Introductory. Prime Hospitality Corp., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell $75,000,000 principal
amount (the "Firm Notes") of its ___% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2002
(the "Notes") to be issued under an indenture, to be dated as of _____________,
1995 (the "Indenture"), between the Company and ___________________, as
Trustee, to Montgomery Securities and Smith Barney Inc. (the "Underwriters")
and also proposes to issue and sell to the Underwriters, at the option of the
Underwriters, an aggregate of not more than an additional $11,250,000 principal
amount (the "Option Notes") of the Notes as provided in Section 6 hereof. The
Firm Notes and, to the extent such option is exercised, the Option Notes are
herein collectively called the "Notes."
The Underwriters have advised the Company that they propose to make a
public offering of their respective portions of the Notes on the effective date

in their judgment is advisable.
The Company hereby confirms its agreements with respect to the

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Underwriters that:
(a) A registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration
No. 33-___________) with respect to the Notes, including a preliminary
form of prospectus, has been carefully prepared by the Company in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the
"Trust Indenture Act"), and the rules and regulations (the "Rules and
Regulations") of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the

registration statement and each amendment thereto) and the
pre-effective prospectus or final form of prospectus have been
delivered to the Underwriters. Such registration statement as amended
at the time it becomes effective or, if a post-effective amendment is
filed with respect thereto, as amended by such post- effective
amendment at the time of its effectiveness, including in each case
information incorporated by reference therein and financial statements
and exhibits, and the information (if any) contained in a prospectus

the Act and deemed to be a part of the registration at the time of its

date of filing thereof with the Commission, and the Prospectus and any
amendment or supplement thereto, on the date of filing thereof with
the Commission, or as first used to confirm sales, and at the Closing
Date (as hereinafter defined), conformed or will conform in all
material respects with the requirements of the Act, the Trust
Indenture Act and the Rules and Regulations; each part of the
Registration Statement, when such part became or becomes effective,

Delivery of certificates for the Firm Notes to be purchased by the

place as may be agreed upon by the Company and the Underwriters) at such time

that any of the Notes are released by the Underwriters for sale to the public,
as the Underwriters shall designate by at least 48 hours prior notice to the

agrees to sell to the Underwriters the principal amount of Option Notes
specified in such notice and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly,

Notes for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the
Underwriters reasonably designate and to continue such qualifications
in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Notes but in
no event for more than 180 days, except that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation
or to execute a general consent to service of process in any
jurisdiction or to subject itself to general taxation in respect of
doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so
subject. The Company will also arrange for the determination of the
eligibility for investment of the Notes under the laws of such
jurisdictions as the Underwriters reasonably request.

Company will furnish to the Underwriters: (i) as soon as practicable

each of the directors and executive officers of the Company listed
under the heading "Management" contained in the Prospectus not to
issue, offer, sell, grant options to purchase or otherwise dispose of
any of the Company's equity securities or any other securities
convertible into or exchangeable with its Common Stock or other equity
security.
(i) The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale
of the Notes to be sold by it hereunder for the purposes set forth in
the Prospectus.
(j) The Company will use its best efforts to qualify or
register its Common Stock for sale in non- issuer transactions under
(or obtain exemptions from the application of) the Blue Sky laws of
the State of California (and thereby permit market making transactions
and secondary trading in the Company's Common Stock in California),
will comply with such Blue Sky laws and will continue such
qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect for a period of
five years after the date hereof.
(k) The Company will use its best efforts to list subject
to official notice of issuance, on the New York Stock Exchange, the
Stock to be issued on exchange of the Notes.
The Underwriters, may, in their sole discretion waive in writing the
performance by the Company of any one or more of the foregoing covenants or
extend the time for their performance.
SECTION 6. Payment of Expenses. The Company, whether or not
the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is
prevented from becoming effective under the provisions of Section 13(a) hereof
or is terminated, will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its
obligations hereunder, will pay the expenses of printing all documents relating
to the offering, and will reimburse the Underwriters for any expenses
(including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the
Underwriters in connection with the matters referred to in Section 5(f) hereof
and the preparation of memoranda relating thereto and for any filing fee of the
NASD relating to the Notes. If the sale of the Notes provided for herein is
not consummated by reason of the Company having failed, refused or been unable,
at or prior to the Closing Date, to perform any agreement on its part to be
performed hereunder or because any other condition of the Underwriters'
obligations hereunder required to be fulfilled by the Company is not fulfilled,
the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for all reasonable out-of-pocket
disbursements (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred
by the Underwriters in connection with the Underwriters' investigation,
preparing to market and marketing the Notes or in contemplation of performing
the Underwriters' obligations hereunder. The Company shall not in any event be
liable to the Underwriters for loss of anticipated profits from the
transactions covered by this Agreement.

(i) The statements contained in the
Prospectus under the caption "Description of Notes" insofar as
they purport to describe the terms of the Notes, constitute
accurate summaries thereof in all material respects;

Such counsel shall also include a statement to the
effect that nothing has come to such counsel's attention that would
lead such counsel to believe that either at the effective date of the
Registration Statement or at the applicable Closing Date, the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or
supplement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading;
(ii) An opinion of Joseph Bernadino, Esq., Senior
Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel of the Company,

the Registration Statement, the Company and its subsidiaries
are in compliance with all applicable existing federal, state,
local and foreign laws and regulations relating to
Environmental Laws, except for such instances of noncompliance
which, either singly or in the aggregate, would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. There is no alleged liability, or,
to the best of his knowledge, potential liability (including,
without limitation, alleged or potential liability for
investigatory costs, cleanup costs, governmental response
costs, natural resources damages, property damages, personal
injuries, or penalties) of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries arising out of, based on or resulting from (i)

subsidiaries has previously conducted or is currently
conducting any business (whether or not owned by the Company
or any of its subsidiaries) or has previously owned or
currently owns any property or (ii) any violation or alleged
violation of any Environmental Law, in either case (x) which
alleged or potential liability is required to be disclosed in
the Registration Statement, other than as disclosed therein,
or (y) which alleged or potential liability, singly or in the
aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Material Adverse Effect.

obligation, agreement or condition contained in any of the
agreements filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.
(e) All of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of each such subsidiary have been duly authorized and

nonassessable and will conform to the description thereof
contained in the Prospectus.

counsel for the Underwriters, dated the First Closing Date or
the Second Closing Date, as the case may be, with respect to

and neither the Registration Statement nor the
Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto
includes any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading;
(4) Since the initial date on which the
Registration Statement was filed, no agreement,
written or oral, transaction or event has occurred
which should have been set forth in an amendment to
the Registration Statement or in a supplement to or
amendment of any prospectus which has not been

its subsidiaries have not sustained a material loss
or damage by strike, fire, flood, windstorm, accident
or other calamity (whether or not insured).

such shares without the prior written consent of Montgomery
Securities, which consent may be withheld at the sole
discretion of Montgomery Securities, as the case may be.
All such opinions, certificates, letters and documents shall be in
compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are satisfactory to you and

you with such manually signed or conformed copies of such opinions,
certificates, letters and documents as you request. Any certificate signed by
any officer of the Company and delivered to the Underwriters or to counsel for
the Underwriters shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the
Company to the Underwriters as to the statements made therein.
If any condition to the Underwriters' obligations hereunder to be
satisfied prior to or at the First Closing Date is not so satisfied, this
Agreement at the Underwriters' election will terminate upon notification by the
Underwriters to the Company without liability on the part of any Underwriter or
the Company except for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Company
pursuant to Sections 6 and 7 hereof and except to the extent provided in
Section 10 hereof.
SECTION 8. Reimbursement of Underwriters' Expenses.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, if this Agreement shall be
terminated by you pursuant to Section 7, or if the sale to the Underwriters of
the Notes at the First Closing is not consummated because of any refusal,
inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein
or to comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse the
Underwriters upon demand for all out-of-pocket expenses that shall have been
reasonably incurred by the Underwriters and them in connection with the
proposed purchase and the sale of the Notes, including but not limited to fees
and disbursements of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage,
telegraph charges and telephone charges relating directly to the offering
contemplated by the Prospectus. Any such termination shall be without
liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions of this
Section. This Section 8, Section 6 and Section 10 shall at all times be
effective and shall apply.
SECTION 9. Effectiveness of Registration Statement. The
Underwriters and the Company will use their and its best efforts to cause the
Registration Statement to become effective, to prevent the issuance of any stop
order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, if such
stop order be issued, to obtain as soon as possible the lifting thereof.
SECTION 10. Indemnification.
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
each Underwriter and each person if any, who controls any Underwriter
within the meaning of the Act against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, joint or several to which such Underwriter or
such controlling person may become subject, under the Act, the
Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or
at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation,
if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the
Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any
19
<PAGE> 20
material fact contained in the Registration Statement any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or
arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state in any of them a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements in any of them not misleading, or
arise out of or are based in whole or in part on any inaccuracy in the
representations and warranties of the Company contained herein or any
failure of the Company to perform its obligations hereunder or under
law; and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling
person for any legal and other expenses as such expenses are
reasonably incurred by such Underwriter or such controlling person in
connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or
paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action;
provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such
case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or
expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or
any amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity
with the information furnished by the Underwriters to the Company
specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement.
In addition to its other obligations under this Section 10(a), the
Company agrees that as an interim measure during the pendency of any
claim action, investigation inquiry or other proceeding arising out of
or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged statement or
omission, or any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of
the Company herein or failure to perform its obligations hereunder,
all as described in this Section 10(a), it will reimburse each
Underwriter on a quarterly basis for all reasonable legal or other
expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any
such claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding
notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the
propriety and enforceability of the Company's obligation to reimburse
each Underwriter for such expenses and the possibility that such
payments might later be held to have been improper by a court of
competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any such interim
reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, each
Underwriter shall promptly return it to the Company together with
interest compounded daily, determined on the basis of the prime rate
(or other commercial lending rate for borrowers of the highest credit
standing) announced from time to time by Bank of America NT&SA, San
Francisco, California (the "Prime Rate"). Any such interim
reimbursement payments which are not made to an Underwriter within 30
days of a request for reimbursement shall bear interest at the Prime
Rate from the date of such request. This indemnity agreement will be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
(b) Each Underwriter will severally indemnify and hold
harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who
signed the Registration Statement, and each person if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act against any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to which the Company, or any
such director, officer, or controlling person may become subject,
under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory
law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the
written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as
contemplated below) arise out of or are based upon any untrue or
alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or
any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon
the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
20
<PAGE> 21
statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent but only
to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration
Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity
with the information furnished by the Underwriters to the Company
specifically for use in the preparation of the Registration Statement,
and will reimburse the Company, or any such director, officer or
controlling person for any legal and other expense reasonably incurred
by the Company, or any such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with investigating defending, compromising or paying any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action. In addition
to its other obligations under this Section 10(b), each Underwriter
severally agrees that as an interim measure during the pendency of any
claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding arising out
of or based upon any statement or omission or any alleged statement or
omission, described in this Section 10(b) which relates to information
furnished by the Underwriters to the Company specifically for use in
the preparation of the Registration Statement, it will reimburse the
Company (and, to the extent applicable, each officer, director or
controlling person) on a quarterly basis for all reasonable legal or
other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending
any such claim, action investigation inquiry or other proceeding
notwithstanding the absence of a judicial determination as to the
propriety and enforceability of the Underwriters' obligation to
reimburse the Company (and, to the extent applicable, each officer,
director or controlling person) for such expenses and the possibility
that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a
court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any such interim
reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, the Company
(and, to the extent applicable, each officer, director or controlling
person) shall promptly return it to the Underwriters together with
interest compounded daily, determined on the basis of the Prime Rate.
Any such interim reimbursement payments which are not made to the
Company within 30 days of a request for reimbursement shall bear
interest at the Prime Rate from the date of such request. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such
Underwriter may otherwise have.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under
this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under this Section, notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the
omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for
contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section or to the extent it is not prejudiced as a proximate
result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against
any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to
seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will
be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to
assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to
such indemnified party; provided, however, if the defendants in any
such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be a conflict between the positions of the indemnifying
party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such
action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or
other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or
parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such
action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt
of notice from the indemnifying party to such
21
<PAGE> 22
indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under
this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless
(i) the indemnified party shall have employed such counsel in
connection with the assumption of legal defenses in accordance with
the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the
expenses of more than one separate counsel, approved by the
Underwriters in the case of paragraph (a), representing the
indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the
indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified
party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the
action in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall
be at the expense of the indemnifying party.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section
10 is required by its terms but is for any reason held to be
unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an
indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (b) or (c) in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein,
then each applicable indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to herein (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company and the Underwriters from the offering of the
Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above
but also the relative fault of the Company and the Underwriters in
connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the
representations and warranties herein which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The respective relative benefits
received by the Company and the Underwriters shall be deemed to be in
the same proportion, in the case of the Company as the total price
paid to the Company for the Notes sold by it to the Underwriters (net
of underwriting commissions but before deducting expenses) bears to
the total price to the public set forth on the cover of the
Prospectus, and in the case of the Underwriters, as the underwriting
commissions received by them bears to the total price to the public
set forth on the cover of the Prospectus. The relative fault of the
Company and the Underwriters shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact or the inaccurate or the alleged inaccurate
representation and/or warranty relates to information supplied by the
Company or the Underwriters and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent
such statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as
a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth in subparagraph (c) of this Section 10, any
legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in
connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The
provisions set forth in subparagraph (c) of this Section 10 with
respect to notice of commencement of any action shall apply if a claim
for contribution is to be made under this subparagraph (d); provided,
however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to
any action for which notice has been given under subparagraph (c) for
purposes of indemnification. The Company and the Underwriters agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to
this Section 10 were determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if
the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by
any other
22
<PAGE> 23
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in this paragraph. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 10, no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the total
underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection
with the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No
person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 12(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The
Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 10
are several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments
and not joint.
(e) It is agreed that any controversy arising out of the
operation of the interim reimbursement arrangements set forth in
Sections 10(a) and 10(b) hereof, including the amounts of any
requested reimbursement payments and the method of determining such
amounts, shall be settled by arbitration conducted under the
provisions of the Constitution and Rules of the Board of Governors of
the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. or pursuant to the Code of
Arbitration Procedure of the NASD. Any such arbitration must be
commenced by service of a written demand for arbitration or written
notice of intention to arbitrate, therein electing the arbitration
tribunal. In the event the party demanding arbitration does not make
such designation of an arbitration tribunal in such demand or notice,
then the party responding to said demand or notice is authorized to do
so. Such an arbitration would be limited to the operation of the
interim reimbursement provisions contained in Sections 10(a) and 10(b)
hereof and would not resolve the ultimate propriety or enforceability
of the obligation to reimburse expenses which is created by the
provisions of such Sections 10(a) and 10(b) hereof.
SECTION 11. Default of Underwriters. It shall be a condition to
this Agreement and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver the Notes
hereunder, and of each Underwriter to purchase the Notes in the manner as
described herein, that, except as hereinafter in this paragraph provided, each
of the Underwriters shall purchase and pay for all the Notes agreed to be
purchased by such Underwriter hereunder upon tender to the Underwriters of all
such Notes in accordance with the terms hereof. If either Underwriter defaults
in its obligation to purchase Notes hereunder on either the First or Second
Closing Date and the aggregate amount of Notes which such defaulting
Underwriter agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date does not exceed
10% of the total amount of Notes which the Underwriters are obligated to
purchase on such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriter shall be
obligated to purchase the Notes which such defaulting Underwriter agreed but
failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If either Underwriter so defaults and
the aggregate amount of Notes with respect to which such default occurs is more
than the above percentage and arrangements satisfactory to the non-defaulting
Underwriter and the Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are
not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate
without liability on the part of the non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company
except for the expenses to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 6 hereof
and except to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof.
In the event that Notes to which a default relates are to be purchased
by the non-defaulting Underwriter or by another party or parties, the
non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company shall have the right to postpone the
First or Second Closing Date, as the case may be, for not more than five
business days in order that the necessary changes in the Registration
Statement, Prospectus and any other documents, as well as any other
arrangements, may be effected. As used in this Agreement the term
"Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.
23
<PAGE> 24
SECTION 12. Effective Date. This Agreement shall become
effective immediately as to Sections 6, 8, 10, 13 and 14 and, as to all other
provisions, (i) if at the time of execution of this Agreement, the Registration
Statement has not become effective, at 2:00 p.m., California time, on the first
full business day following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, or
(ii) if at the time of execution of this Agreement, the Registration Statement
has been declared effective, at 2:00 p.m., California time, on the first full
business day following the date of execution of this Agreement; but this
Agreement shall nevertheless become effective at such earlier time after the
Registration Statement becomes effective as the Underwriters may determine on
and by notice to the Company or by release of any of the Notes for sale to the
public. For the purposes of this Section 12, the Notes shall be deemed to have
been so released upon the release for publication of any newspaper
advertisement relating to the Notes or upon the release by the Underwriters of
telegrams (i) advising the Underwriters that the Notes are released for public
offering, or (ii) offering the Notes for sale to securities dealers, whichever
may occur first.
SECTION 13. Termination. Without limiting the right to terminate
this Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof:
(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Company by
notice to the Underwriters or by the Underwriters by notice to the
Company at any time prior to the time this Agreement shall become
effective as to all its provisions, and any such termination shall be
without liability on the part of the Company to any Underwriter
(except for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by the Company
pursuant to Sections 6 and 8 hereof and except to the extent provided
in Section 10 hereof) or of any Underwriter to the Company (except to
the extent provided in Section 10 hereof).
(b) This Agreement may also be terminated by the
Underwriters prior to the First Closing Date by notice to the Company
(i) if additional material governmental restrictions, not in force and
effect on the date hereof, shall have been imposed upon trading in
securities generally or minimum or maximum prices shall have been
generally established on the New York Stock Exchange or on the
American Stock Exchange or in the over the counter market by the NASD,
or trading in securities generally shall have been suspended on either
such Exchange or in the over the counter market by the NASD, or a
general banking moratorium shall have been established by federal, New
York or California authorities, (ii) if an outbreak of major
hostilities or other national or international calamity or any
substantial change in political, financial or economic conditions
shall have occurred or shall have accelerated or escalated to such an
extent, as, in the judgment of the Underwriters, to affect adversely
the marketability of the Notes, (iii) if any adverse event shall have
occurred or shall exist which makes untrue or incorrect in any
material respect any statement or information contained in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus or which is not reflected in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus but should be reflected therein
in order to make the statements or information contained therein not
misleading in any material respect, or (iv) if there shall be any
action suit or proceeding pending or threatened, or there shall have
been any development or prospective development involving particularly
the business or properties or securities of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
which, in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, may
materially and adversely affect the Company's business or earnings and
makes it impracticable or inadvisable to offer or sell the Notes. Any
termination pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be without liability
on the part of any Underwriter to the Company or on the
24
<PAGE> 25
part of the Company to any Underwriter (except for expenses to be paid
or reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Sections 6 and 8 hereof and
except to the extent provided in Section 10 hereof).
SECTION 14. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery.
The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company, of its officers and of the Underwriters set forth in
or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect,
regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter or the
Company or any of its or their partners, officers or directors or any
controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and
payment for the Notes sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 15. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in
writing and, if sent to the Underwriters shall be mailed, delivered or
telegraphed and confirmed to the Underwriters at 600 Montgomery Street, San
Francisco, California 94111, Attention: George W. Yandell, III, with a copy to
John D. Watson, Esq., Latham & Watkins, 1001 Pennsylvania Avenue, Suite 1300,

The Company or the Underwriters may change the address for receipt of
communications hereunder by giving notice to the others.
SECTION 16. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit
of and be binding upon the parties hereto, including any substitute
Underwriters pursuant to Section 11 hereof, and to the benefit of the officers
and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 10, and in each
case their respective successors, personal representatives and assigns, and no
other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. No such assignment
shall relieve any party of its obligations hereunder. The term "successors"
shall not include any purchaser of the Notes as such from any of the
Underwriters merely by reason of such purchase.
SECTION 17. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Section, paragraph or
provision hereof. If any Section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is
for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed
to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to
make it valid and enforceable.
SECTION 18. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by
and construed in accordance with the internal laws (and not the laws pertaining
to conflicts of laws) of the State of California.
SECTION 19. General. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or
oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements, understandings and negotiations
with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in
several counterparts, each one of which shall be an original and all of which
shall constitute one and the same document.
In this Agreement the masculine, feminine and neuter genders and the

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 Company.
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 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee
and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
(b) 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.
(c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining
the Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action,
authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the
Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in
respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such
vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if
later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided
pursuant to Section 7.1) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case
may be. With regard to any record date, only
7
<PAGE> 15
the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled
to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action.
(d) The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register.
(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Note shall bind every future
Holder of the same Note and the Holder of every Note 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 or the
Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Note.
1.5 Notices to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of Holders or
other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given
or furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its
principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture,
or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee
by the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.
1.6 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 Note 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.
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 to every purpose hereunder.
1.7 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.

Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so
expressed or not.
1.10 Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture
or in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and

claim under this Indenture.

by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
1.13 Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Note or the last date on which a
Holder has the right to convert his Notes shall not be a Business Day, then
(notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Notes) payment
of interest or principal (and premium, if any) or conversion of the Notes 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 or
Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, or on such last day for conversion,
provided that no additional interest shall accrue an a result of such delayed
payment for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.

the Notes, expressed or implied, shall be construed to constitute a security
interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or
hereafter enacted and in effect, in any jurisdiction where property of the
Company or its Subsidiaries is located.
1.15 Immunity of Incorporators, Stockholders, Officers and
Directors. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any), or the interest, if any, on any Note, or for any claim based
thereon, or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of this Indenture,
against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past,
present or future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either
directly or indirectly through the Company or of any successor corporation,
whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law or by the

because of the incurring of the indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by
reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this
Indenture or in the Notes, or to be implied herefrom or therefrom; and that all
such personal liability is hereby expressly released and waived as a condition
of, and as part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and
the issuance of the Notes.

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Company designated as its ___% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2002
(herein called the "Notes"), limited in aggregate principal amount to
$75,000,000 (subject to increase as provided in the Indenture up to $86,250,000
aggregate principal amount), issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated
as of ___________, 1995 (herein called the "Indenture"), between the Company
and Bank One, Columbus, N.A. as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which
term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes and of the terms upon which the Notes
are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of the
Indenture, the Holder of this Note is entitled, at his option, at any time on
or before the close of business on April 15, 2002, or in case this Note or a
portion hereof is called for redemption or submitted for repurchase upon the
occurrence of a Risk Event, then in respect of this Note or such portion hereof
until and including, but (unless the Company defaults in making the payment due
upon redemption or repurchase, as the case may be) not after, the close of
business on the last Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date or Repurchase
Date, respectively, to convert this Note (or any portion of the principal
amount hereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), at the
principal amount hereof, or of such portion, into fully paid and nonassessable
shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of
Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to $ aggregate
principal amount of Notes for each share of Common Stock (or at the current
adjusted conversion price if an adjustment has been made as provided in the
Indenture) by surrender of this Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company
or in blank, to the Company at its office or agency maintained for that purpose
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, accompanied by written
notice to the Company in the form provided in this Note (or such other notice
as is acceptable to the Company) that the Holder hereof elects to convert this
Note, or if less than the entire principal amount hereof in to be converted,

Predecessor Note) of record at such Regular Record Date to receive an
installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in the Indenture), no

reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which this Note might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or

plurality of non-electing shares).

$1,000, for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Notes
to be repurchased together with accrued interest to the Repurchase Date.

Note in part only, a new Note or Notes for the portion hereof not redeemed,

Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at

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 Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Note issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made up this Note.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company,

Manhattan, The City of New York, duly endorsed by or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Note
Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing, in each case, with an appropriate signature guarantee, and thereupon
one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in
the Indenture and subject certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith
(except as provided in the Indenture).

may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof

3.1 Title and Terms. The aggregate principal amount of Notes
which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is limited to (a)
$75,000,000 plus (b) such additional aggregate principal amount (which may not
exceed $11,250,000 principal amount) of Notes as may be purchased by the
Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, dated ___________, 1995,
between the Company, Montgomery Securities and Smith Barney Inc., as
Underwriters, solely to cover over-allotments, except for Notes authenticated
and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu
of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 9.6, 11.8 or 13.2.
The Notes shall be known and designated as the "____% Convertible
Subordinated Notes Due 2002" of the Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be
April 15, 2002, and they shall bear interest at the rate of ____% per annum,
from the date of initial issuance or from the most recent Interest Payment Date
to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be,
payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15, commencing October, 1995,
until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment.
The principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Notes shall
be payable at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, maintained for such purpose and at any other office or
agency maintained by the Company for such purpose; provided, however, that at
the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Note Register.
The Notes shall be redeemable as provided in Article 11.
The Notes shall be subordinated in right of payment to Senior
Indebtedness as provided in Article 12.
The Notes shall be convertible as provided in Article 13.
The Notes shall be subject to repurchase by the Company, at the
election of Holders, as provided in Article 14.
3.2 Denominations. The Notes shall be issuable only in registered
form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof.
3.3 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Notes
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its
President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal reproduced
thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The
signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual or facsimile.
Notes bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of
this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with
20
<PAGE> 28
a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes; and the
Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver
such Notes as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.
Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Note
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been
duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
3.4 Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of definitive Notes,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by
their execution of such Notes.
If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive
Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at any office or agency of the
Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2, without charge to the Holder.
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Notes of authorized
denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Notes shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Notes.
3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Company 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 designated pursuant to Section 10.2 being herein sometimes collectively
referred to as the "Note Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Notes and of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Note
Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as
herein provided.
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at an office
or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of
any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.
At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of
any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any
Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Notes which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.
21
<PAGE> 29
All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Note Registrar duly executed, by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company 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 Notes, other than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.4, 9.6, 11.8 or 13.2 not involving any
transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register transfer of
or exchange any Note during a period beginning at the opening of business
fifteen (15) days before day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Notes
selected for redemption under Section 11.4 and ending at the close of business
on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Note so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed
portion of any Note being redeemed in part.
3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated
Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor
and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, or theft of any Note and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them
and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the
Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become
or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.
Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company 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 Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note
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
Notes 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 Notes.
22
<PAGE> 30
3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on
any Note 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 Note (or
one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.
Any interest on any Note 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 Company, at its election in each case, as provided
in Clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any
Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their
respective Predecessor Notes) 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 Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Company 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 fifteen (15) days and not less than ten (10) days prior
to the date of the proposed payment and not less than ten (10) days
after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, 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 address as it
appears in the Note Register, not less than ten (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 Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) 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 Company may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the Notes may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if,
after notice given by the Company 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 Note
delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange
for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.
In the case of any Note which is converted after any Regular Record
Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than
any Note whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest whose
Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such
Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest
(whether or
23
<PAGE> 31
not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of
business on such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Note which is
converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of
such Note shall not be payable.
3.8 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Note for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as
the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Note and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
3.9 Cancellation. All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange or conversion shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be
promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee
for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Notes so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as provided in
this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled
Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.
3.10 Computation of Interest. Interest on the Notes shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
ARTICLE 4
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
4.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of conversion,
registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for),
and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture,
when
(1) either
(A) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered
(other than (i) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and
which have been replaced or paid an provided in Section 3.6 and (ii)
Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust
or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid
to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section
10.3) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
(B) all such Notes 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 (1) year, or
24
<PAGE> 32
(iii) are to be called for redemption within one (1)
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 Company,
and the Company, 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 Notes 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 Notes which have
become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date,
as the case may be;
(2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company; and
(3) the Company 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, the
obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7 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 Section 4.2 and the last
paragraph of Section 10.3 shall survive.
4.2 Application of Trust Money. Subject to the provisions of the
last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or
through any Paying Agent (including the Company 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. All moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Section 4.1 (and held by it or any Paying Agent) for the payment of Notes
subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon Company Request.
4.3 Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money in accordance with this Article 4 by reason of any order or
judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's obligations under
this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 4 until such time as the Trustee
or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust with respect to
the Notes; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of or any premium or interest on any Note following the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Holders to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise
have become due and payable, without such indebtedness having been
discharged, or such acceleration having been rescinded or annulled,
within a period of ten (10) days after there shall have been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 10% in principal

amounts covered by insurance as to which the insurer has not denied
liability); or
26
<PAGE> 34
(7) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises
of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company or a
Significant Subsidiary in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or
other similar law or (B) a decree or order adjudging the Company or a
Subsidiary bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a
petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or

writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become
due, or the taking of corporate action by the Company or any
Significant Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action.
5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an
Event of Default 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 Notes may declare the principal of all the Notes to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal shall become
immediately due and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration 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 Notes, by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a
sum sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue interest on all Notes,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any
Notes which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at
the rate borne by the Notes,
(C) to the extent that payment of such interest is
lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate
borne by the Notes, and
27
<PAGE> 35
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee
hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel;
and
(2) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereon.
5.3 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee. The Company covenants that if:
(1) default is made in the payment of any interest on any
Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for
a period of thirty (30) days, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any Note at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes,
the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes 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 borne by the Notes, 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 an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in
its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders 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.
5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of any judicial
proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its

respectively.
5.7 Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this

remedy hereunder, unless
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

been given to the Trustee during such sixty (60) day period by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes.
It being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any
right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of
this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders,

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.
5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Holder of any Note to exercise any right or remedy accruing
upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a

be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, an the case may be.

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.

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 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 Company or in any suit for the enforcement of the right to
convert any Note in accordance with Article 13.
5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist

though no such law had been enacted.

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 Notes 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 Notes so authenticated with the same effect as
if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Whenever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the
Trustees certificate of authentication, such references 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 Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof 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 say 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 Company. 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 Company. 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 Company and shall mail written notice of
such appointment by first- class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders as their
names and addresses appear in the Note Register. 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.
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 6.7.

endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustees certificate of authentication, an
alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense of the Company cause

improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company 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 Company from discontinuing the operation or
maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the
judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business and the
business of its Subsidiaries and not disadvantageous in any material respect to
the Holders.

such Holders, 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,

SUBORDINATION OF NOTES
12.1 Notes Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness. The Company
covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Note, by his acceptance thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth in this Article (subject to the provisions of Article 4),
the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on each and
all of the Notes (including any repurchases or payments pursuant to Article 14)
are hereby expressly made subordinate and subject in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.
12.2 Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc. In the event
of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization other similar case or proceeding in connection
therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its
assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company,
whether voluntary or involuntary whether or not involving insolvency or
bankruptcy, or any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other
marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such
event specified in (a), (b) or (c) above (each such event, if any, herein
sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding") the holders of Senior Indebtedness
shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become
due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for
such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Notes are
entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, on account of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on the Notes or on account of any purchase
(including any repurchase pursuant to Article 14) or other acquisition of Notes
by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (all such payments,
distributions, purchases and acquisitions herein referred to, individually and
collectively, as a "Notes Payment"), and to that end the holders of all Senior
Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment
thereof, any Notes Payment which may be payable or deliverable in respect of
the Notes in any such Proceeding.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Note shall have received any Notes
Payment before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full or payment thereof
provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and if such fact shall, at or prior to
the time of such Notes Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the
case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such Notes Payment shall be
paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment
or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all
Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness.
45
<PAGE> 53
For purposes of this Article only, the words "any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities"
shall not be deemed to include a payment or distribution of stock or securities
of the Company provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment
authorized by an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in a
reorganization proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or of any other
corporation provided for by such plan of reorganization or readjustment which
stock or securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then
outstanding Senior Indebtedness to substantially the same extent as the Notes
are so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the
Company with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the
liquidation or dissolution or the Company following the conveyance or transfer
of all or substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to
another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article 8 shall not
be deemed a Proceeding for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by
such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which
acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets as an entirety,
as the case may be, all, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or
transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article 8.
12.3 No Payment on Notes in Certain Circumstances. In the event
that any Notes are declared due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then
and in such event the holders of the Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the
time such Notes so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment
in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in respect of all Senior
Indebtedness, or provision shall made for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any Notes
Payment (including any payment which may be payable by reason of the payment of
any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the
Notes).
In the event and during the continuation of (i) any default in the
payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior
Indebtedness beyond any applicable grace period with respect thereto, or (ii)
any other event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have
occurred and be continuing permitting the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
(or a trustee or other representative on behalf of the holders thereof) to
declare such Senior Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it
would otherwise have become due and payable, upon written notice thereof to the
Company and the Trustee by any holders of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or
other representative on behalf of the holders thereof) (the "Default Notice"),
unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or
annulled, or (iii) any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any
such default payment or event of default, then no Notes Payment shall be made;
provided, however, that clause (ii) of this paragraph shall not prevent the
making of any Notes Payment for more than 179 days after a Default Notice shall
have been received by the Trustee unless the Senior Indebtedness in respect of
which such event of default exists has been declared due and payable in its
entirety in which case no such payment may be made until such acceleration has
been rescinded or annulled or such Senior Indebtedness has on paid in full.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no event of default which existed or was
continuing on the date of any Default Notice shall be made the basis for the
giving of a second Default Notice; provided, further, however, that only one
such Default Notice may be given in any 365 day period.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any Notes Payment to the Trustee or any Holder prohibited by the foregoing
provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time of
such Notes Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the
46
<PAGE> 54
case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such Notes Payment shall be
paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Notes Payment
with respect to which Section 12.2 would be applicable.
12.4 Payment Permitted if No Default. Nothing contained in this
Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent (a)
the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding referred
to in Section 12.2 or under the conditions described in Section 12.3, from
making Notes Payments, or (b) the application by the Trustee of any money
deposited with it hereunder to Notes Payments or the retention of such Notes
Payment by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it
did not have knowledge that such Notes Payment would have been prohibited by
the provisions of this Article.
12.5 Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in
respect of Senior Indebtedness, or the provision for such payment in cash or
cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of the Notes shall be subrogated to the extent of the
payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
pursuant to the provisions of this Article (equally and ratably with the
holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its express terms is
subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as
the Notes are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to
the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and
distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior
Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Notes shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of he Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or
securities to which the Holders of the Notes or the Trustee would be entitled
except for the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the
provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by Holders of
the Notes or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Notes, be deemed to be a
payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior
Indebtedness.
12.6 Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights. The provisions
of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the holders of Senior
Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere
in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among
the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the
Holders of the Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and
unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other
general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Notes the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on, and to make any repurchases
required by Article 14 of, the Notes as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights
against the Company of the Holders of the Notes and creditors of the Company
other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or (c) prevent the Trustee or
the Holder of any Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if
any, under this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash,
property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such
Holder.
47
<PAGE> 55
12.7 Trustee to Effectuate Subordination. Each Holder of a Note by
his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any
and all such purposes.
12.8 No Waiver of Subordination Provisions. No right of any
present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination as
herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any
act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to
act, in good faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any
knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes,
without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Notes and without
impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Notes to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior
Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior
Indebtedness, any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise
deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection
of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Company and any other Person.
12.9 Notice to Trustee. The Company shall give prompt written
notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Notes.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee
in respect of the Notes, unless and until the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or
from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written
notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be
entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however,
that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice provided for in this
Section at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date upon which by the
terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose (including, without
limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
on, or amounts payable upon repurchase of, any Note), then, anything herein
contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power
and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for
which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary which may received by it within three (3) Business Days prior to such
date.
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee
therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines
in good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of
any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or
distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Indebtedness held by
48
<PAGE> 56
such Person, the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.
12.10 Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
Agent. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the
Holders of the Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered
by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or
a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee,
custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making
such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of
Notes, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or
to this Article.
12.11 Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. The
Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good
faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Notes or to the Company
or to any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.
12.12 Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness;
Preservation of Trustee's Rights. The Trustee in its individual capacity shall
be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as
any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall
deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.
Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7.
12.13 Article Applicable to Paying Agents. In case at any time any
Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company
and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee" as used in this Article shall
in such case (unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending
to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents
and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to
or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that Section 12.12 shall not
apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such Affiliate
acts as Paying Agent.
12.14 Certain Conversions Deemed Payment. For the purposes of this
Article only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon
conversion of Notes in accordance with Article 13 shall not be deemed to
constitute a payment or distribution on account of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on Notes or on account of the purchase or other
acquisition of Notes, and (2) the payment, issuance or delivery of cash,
property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion of a Note
shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of the principal of such Note.
For the purposes of this Section, the term "junior securities" means (a) shares
of any stock of any class of the Company, (b) securities of the Company which
are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may be
outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Notes are so
subordinated
49
<PAGE> 57
as provided in this Article and (c) securities into which the Notes become
convertible pursuant to Section 13.11. Nothing contained in this Article or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Notes is intended to or shall impair, as
among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and
the Holders of the Notes, the right, which is absolute and unconditional, of
the Holder of any Note to convert such Note in accordance with Article 13.
ARTICLE 13
CONVERSION OF NOTES
13.1 Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price. Subject to and
upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the
Holder thereof, any Note or any portion of the principal amount thereof which
is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal
amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable
shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of
Common Stock of the Company at the conversion price, determined as hereinafter
provided, in effect at the time of conversion. Such conversion right shall
expire at the close of business on April 15, 2002. In case a Note or portion
thereof is called for redemption at the election of the Company or delivered
for repurchase pursuant Article 14, such conversion right in respect of the
Note or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the last
Trading Day prior to the Redemption Date or the Repurchase Date, as the case
may be, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption
or repurchase.
The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon
conversion (herein called the "conversion price") shall be initially
$___________ per share of Common Stock. The conversion price shall be adjusted
in certain instances as provided in this Article 13.
13.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the
conversion privilege, the Holder of any Note to be converted shall surrender
such Note, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2,
accompanied by written notice to the Company (in form and substance
satisfactory to the Company) at such office agency that the Holder elects to
convert such Note or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be
converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Notes surrendered for
conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record
Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on
such Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Notes or portions
thereof which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such
period) be accompanied by payment in New York Clearing House funds or other
funds acceptable to Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Notes being surrendered for
conversion. Subject to the provisions Section 3.7 relating to the payment of
Defaulted Interest by the Company, the interest payment with respect to a Note
called for redemption on a Redemption Date during the period from the close of
business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to
the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such
Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Note at the close of business on
such Regular Record Date notwithstanding the conversion of such Note after such
Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, and the Holder
converting such Note need not include a payment of such interest payment amount
upon surrender of such Note for conversion. Except as provided in the
preceding sentence and subject to the final paragraph of Section 3.7, no
payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any
interest accrued on the Notes surrendered for conversion or on account of any
dividends on the Common Stock issued upon conversion.
50
<PAGE> 58
Notes shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the
close of business on the day of surrender of such Notes for conversion in
accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the
Holders of such Notes as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such
time. As promptly as practicable on or after the Conversion Date, the Company
shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
provided in Section 13.3.
In the case of any Note which is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Note or
Notes of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the
unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Note.
13.3 Fraction of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock
shall be issued upon conversion of Notes. If more than one Note shall be
surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of full
shares which shall issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions
thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which
would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Note or Notes (or specified
portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in respect of such
fraction in an amount equal to the fraction of the daily Closing Price per
share of Common Stock (consistent with Section 13.4(h) below) at the close of
business on the day of conversion.
13.4 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
(a) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other
distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company in Common Stock, the
conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion
price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and
the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,
such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of
this paragraph (a), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time
outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but
shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu
of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend
or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the
Company.
(b) Subject to the provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in
case the Company shall issue rights, options or warrants to all holders of its
Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock
at a price per share less than the Current Market Price (determined as provided
in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than
pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan), the conversion price in effect at
the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close business on the date fixed for such determination plus
the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate of
51
<PAGE> 59
the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock offered for
subscription or purchase would purchase at such Current Market Price and the
denominator shall be the number shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close
of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares
of Common Stock so offered for subscription or repurchase, such reduction to
become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following
the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (b),
the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include
shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in
respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common
Stock. The Company will not issue any rights, options or warrants in respect
of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(c) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price in effect
at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and,
conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined
into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price in effect
at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
combination becomes effective shall be proportionately increased, such
reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become effective immediately
after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(d) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (d) and the
provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section, in case the Company shall, by
dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of the Common Stock evidences
of its indebtedness, shares of any class of its capital stock, cash or other
assets (including securities, but excluding any rights, options or warrants
referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section, excluding any dividend or
distribution paid exclusively in cash and excluding any dividend or
distribution referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section), the conversion
price shall be reduced by multiplying the conversion price in effect
immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the
determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution by a fraction of
which the numerator shall be the Current Market Price (determined as provided
in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such date less the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive
and described in a Board Resolution) on such date of the portion of the
evidences of indebtedness, shares of capital stock, cash and other assets to be
distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the denominator shall
be such Current Market Price, such reduction to become effective immediately
prior to the opening of business on the day following such date. If the Board
of Directors determines the fair market value of any distribution for purposes
of this paragraph (d) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market
for any securities comprising part or all of such distribution, it must in
doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in
computing the Current Market Price pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section,
to the extent possible. For purposes of this paragraph (d), any dividend or
distribution that includes shares of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common stock or securities convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (x) a
dividend or distribution of the evidences of indebtedness, cash, assets or
shares of capital stock other than such shares of Common Stock, such rights,
options or warrants or such convertible or exchangeable securities (making any
conversion price reduction required by paragraph (d)) immediately followed by
(y) in the case of such shares of Common Stock or such rights, options or
warrants, dividend or distribution thereof (making any further conversion price
reduction required by (a) and (b) of this Section, except any shares of Common
Stock included in such dividend or distribution shall not be deemed
"outstanding at close of business on the date fixed for such determination"
within the meaning
52
<PAGE> 60
of paragraph (a) of this Section), or (z) in the case of such convertible or
exchangeable securities, a dividend or distribution of the number of shares of
Common Stock as would then be issuable upon the conversion or exchange thereof,
whether or not the conversion or exchange of such securities is subject to any
conditions (making any further conversion price reduction required by paragraph
(a) of this Section, except the shares deemed to constitute such dividend or
distribution shall not be deemed "outstanding at the close of business on the
date fixed for such determination" within the meaning of paragraph (a) of this
Section).
(e) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise,
distribute to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is
distributed upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 13.11 applies or as
part of a distribution referred to in paragraph (d) of this Section) in an
aggregate amount that, combined together with (1) the aggregate amount of any
other distributions to all holders of its Common Stock exclusively in cash
within the twelve (12) months preceding the date of payment of such
distribution, and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph
(e) has been made, and (2) the aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value
(as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) of consideration paid or
payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any Subsidiary for all
or any portion the Common Stock concluded within the twelve (12) months
preceding the date of payment of such distribution, and in respect of which no
adjustment pursuant to paragraph (f) of this Section has been made, exceeds
12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as provided in
paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date for the determination of holders of
shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such
case, immediately after the close of business on such date for determination,
the conversion price shall be reduced so that same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which
shall be equal to the Current Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph
(h) of this Section) on the date fixed for such determination less an amount
equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such combined amount over such 1%
and (y) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for
determination and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the Current
Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on such
date for determination.
(f) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for
all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as
amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders
(based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the
tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate
consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board
Resolution) that combined together with (1) the aggregate of the cash plus the
fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination
shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration
of such tender offer, of consideration paid or payable in respect of any other
tender offer, by the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the
Common Stock expiring within the twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of
such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this
paragraph (f) has been made and (2) the aggregate amount of any distributions
to all holders of the Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within
twelve (12) months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in respect
of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section has been made,
exceeds 12.5% of the product of the Current Market Price (determined as
provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration
Time") tenders could have been
53
<PAGE> 61
made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be amended) times the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the
Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening
of business on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion
price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to close of
business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of
which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the Current Market Price
(determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) on the date of the
Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered shares) on the Expiration Time less (B) the amount of
cash plus the fair market value (determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate
consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any
maximum specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares, and
(ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to the product of (A) the Current
Market Price (determined as provided in paragraph (h) of this Section) as of
the Expiration Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
(including any tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of
all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the
shares deemed to be accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the
"Purchased Shares").
(g) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities, including
securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a
consolidation or merger to which Section 13.11 applies), shall be deemed to
involve (i) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all
holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall
be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution" and the "date fixed for such determination"
within the meaning of paragraph (d) of this Section), and (ii) a subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective
date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such
subdivision becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes
effective," as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or
combination becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (c) of this
Section). Rights, options or warrants issued by the Company to all holders of
the Common Stock entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which
rights, options or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares
of Common Stock, (ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued in respect
of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through (iii)
until the occurrence of a specified event or vents ("Trigger Event"), shall for
purposes of paragraphs (b) and (d) above not be deemed issued until the
occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event. Notwithstanding any provision of
paragraphs (b) and (d) above to the contrary, no adjustment shall be made
pursuant to paragraphs (b) or (d) above for any dividend, distribution or
issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Stock if the
Company makes proper provision so that each Holder of a Note who converts such
Note (or any portion thereof) after the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to such issuance, dividend or distribution, shall be
entitled to receive upon such conversion, in addition to the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion, that number of rights, options or warrants
as would have been issuable to a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock
equal to the number of shares to which the Notes were convertible as of the
date fixed for such issuance, dividend or distribution (with adjustments to the
rights and privileges under such rights, options or warrants given effect as if
such rights, options or warrants had been issued as of such date), provided
that the foregoing provisions set forth in this sentence shall only apply to
the extent (and so long as) such rights, options or warrants receivable upon
conversion of the Notes would be exercisable without any loss of rights or
privileges for a period of at least 90 days following conversion of the Notes.
In addition, in the event of any
54
<PAGE> 62
issuance or distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event
with respect thereto, which shall have resulted in an adjustment to the
conversion price with respect to the Notes under paragraphs (b) or (d) above,
(a) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have
been redeemed or repurchased without exercise by any holders thereof, the
conversion price shall be readjusted upon such final redemption or repurchase
to give effect to such issuance or distribution (or Trigger Event, as the case
may be) as though a cash distribution had been made to all of the holders of
Common Stock equal to the per share redemption or repurchase price received by
a holder of Common Stock with respect to the rights, options or warrants
received by such holder (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options
or warrants), and (b) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants all
of which shall have expired without exercise by any holder thereof, the
conversion price with respect to the Notes shall be readjusted as if such
issuance had not occurred.
(h) For the purpose of any computation under this paragraph and
paragraphs (b), (d) and (e) of this Section, the current market price per share
of Common Stock (the "Current Market Price") on any date shall be deemed to be
the average of the daily Closing Prices (as hereinafter defined) for the five
consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than 20
Trading Days before, and ending not later than the date in question; provided,
however, that (i) if the "ex" date (as hereinafter defined) for any event
(other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that
requires an adjustment to the conversion price pursuant to paragraph (a), (b),
(c), (d), (e) or (f) above occurs on or after the 20th Trading Day prior to the
date in question and prior to the "ex" date for the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing
Price by the same fraction by which the conversion price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event, (ii) if the "ex" date for any event
(other than the issuance or distribution requiring such computation) that
requires an adjustment to the conversion price pursuant to paragraph (a), (b),
(c), (d), (e) or (f) above occurs on or after the "ex" date for the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation and on or prior to the date in
question, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on and after the "ex" date for
such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Price by the
reciprocal of the fraction by which the conversion price is so required to be
adjusted as a result of such other event, and (iii) if the "ex" date for the
issuance or distribution requiring such computation is on or prior to the date
in question, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to this
proviso, the Closing Price for each Trading Day on or after such "ex" date
shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market
value on the date in question (as determined by the Board of Directors in a
manner consistent with any determination of such value for purposes of
paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section, whose determination shall be conclusive
and described in a Board Resolution) of the evidences of indebtedness, shares
of capital stock or assets being distributed applicable to one share of Common
Stock as of the close of business on the day before such "ex" date. For the
purpose of any computation under paragraph (f) of this Section, the Current
Market Price on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing
Prices for the 5 consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing on
or after the latest (the "Commencement Date") of (i) the date 20 Trading Days
before the date in question, (ii) the date of commencement of the tender offer
requiring such computation, and (iii) the date of the last amendment, if any,
of such tender offer involving a change in the maximum number of shares for
which tenders are sought or a change in the consideration offered, and ending
not later than the Expiration Time of such tender offer; provided, however,
that if the "ex" date for any event (other than the tender offer requiring such
computation) that requires an adjustment to the conversion price pursuant to
paragraph (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) or (f) above occurs on or after the
Commencement Date and prior to the Expiration Time for the tender offer
requiring such computation, the Closing Price for each Trading Day prior to the
"ex" date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such
55
<PAGE> 63
Closing Price by the same fraction by which the conversion price is so required
to be adjusted as a result of such other event. The closing price for any
Trading Day (the "Closing Price") shall be the last reported sales price
regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the
average of the reported closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either
case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the Common Stock is not listed or
admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on such exchange,
on the principal national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is
listed or admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any
national securities exchange, on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotations National Market System or, if the Common Stock is not
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or quoted on
such National Market System, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in
the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member
firm selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. The term
"'ex' date," (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means
the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the relevant
exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Prices were obtained
without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with
respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the
first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in
such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender offer means the first
date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such
market after the last time that tenders may be made pursuant to such tender
offer (as it shall have been amended).
(i) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless
such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this
paragraph (i) would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such
price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this
paragraph (i) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken
into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this
paragraph (i) shall be made to the nearest percent.
(j) No upward adjustment in the conversion price will be made other
than in the event of a reverse stock split.
(k) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in
addition to those required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) of
this Section, as it considers to be advisable in order to avoid or diminish any
income tax to any holders of shares of Common Stock resulting from any dividend
or distribution of stock or issuance of rights, options or warrants to purchase
or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such for income tax
purposes or for any other reasons. The Company shall have the power to resolve
any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (j) and its actions in so
doing shall be final and conclusive.
(l) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 13.4, no
adjustment to the conversion price shall reduce the conversion price below the
then par value per share the Common Stock, and any such purported adjustment
shall instead reduce the conversion price to such par value. The Company
hereby covenants not to take any action to increase par value per share of the
Common Stock.
13.5 Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price. Whenever
conversion price is adjusted as herein provided:
(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in
accordance with Section 13.4 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the
Treasurer of the Company setting forth the adjusted
56
<PAGE> 64
conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such
adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each
office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Notes pursuant to
Section 10.2; and
(b) a notice stating that the conversion price has been adjusted and
setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall forthwith be required, and as
soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be mailed by the
Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Note
Register.
13.6 Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
payable (i) otherwise than exclusively in cash (ii) exclusively in cash in an
amount that would require a conversion price adjustment pursuant to paragraph
(e) of Section 13.4; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its
Common Stock of rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any
shares of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other
than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock),
or of any consolidation, or share exchange to which the Company is a party and
which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or of the sale
or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company; or
(e) the Company or any Subsidiary shall commence a tender offer for
all or a portion of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or shall amend any
such tender offer to change the maximum number of shares being sought or the
amount or type of consideration being offered therefor);
then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained
for the purpose of conversion of Notes pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall
cause to be mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
in the Note Register, at least twenty-one (21) days (or eleven days in any case
specified in clause (a), (b) or (c) above) prior to the applicable record or
effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a
record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or
warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders
of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights
warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, share exchange, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or
winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange
their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable
upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the failure to give
such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or validity of the
proceedings described in clauses (a) through (e) of this Section 13.6.
13.7 Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common
Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Notes, the full number of
shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding
Notes.
57
<PAGE> 65
13.8 Taxes on Conversions. The Company will pay any and all taxes
that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common
Stock on conversion of Notes pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however,
be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other
than that of the Holder of the Note or Notes to be converted, and no such issue
or delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has
paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or established to the
satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
13.9 Covenant as to Shares of Common Stock. The Company covenants
that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Notes
will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in
Section 13.8, the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to
the issue thereof.
13.10 Cancellation of Converted Notes. All Notes delivered for
conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be canceled by or at the
direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in
Section 3.9.
13.11 Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.
In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company
into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other
than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, change
or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Note then
outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such Note shall
be convertible as specified in Section 13.1, to convert such Note only into the
kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company into which such Note might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, assuming
such holder of Common Stock of the Company is not a Person with which the
Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or which merged into the
Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be
("constituent Person"), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person, and failed to
exercise his rights of election, if any, to the kind or amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is not
the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately prior
to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by others than a constituent
Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election
shall not have been exercised ("nonelecting share"), then for the purpose of
this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each
nonelecting share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the nonelecting shares). Such supplemental indenture
shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective
date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article. The above
provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, sales or transfers.

ARTICLE 14
REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT THE OPTION
OF THE HOLDER UPON A RISK EVENT
14.1 Right to Require Repurchase. In the event that a Risk Event
(as hereinafter defined) shall occur, then each Holder shall have the right, at
the Holder's option, to require the Company to repurchase, and upon the
exercise of such right the Company shall repurchase, all of such Holder's
Notes, or any portion of the principal amount thereof that is an integral
multiple of $1,000, on the date (the "Purchase Date") that is forty-five (45)
calendar days after the date of the Company Notice (as defined in Section 14.2)
for cash at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount the Notes to
be repurchased (the "Repurchase Price"), together in each case with accrued
interest to the Repurchase Date. Such right to require the repurchase of the
Notes shall not continue after a discharge of the Company from its obligations
with respect to the Notes in accordance with Article 4, unless a Risk Event
shall have occurred prior to such discharge.
14.2 Notices; Method of Exercising Repurchase Right, Etc.
(a) Unless the Company shall have theretofore called for redemption
all of the Outstanding Notes, on or before the fifteenth (15th) calendar day
after the occurrence of a Risk Event, the Company or, at the request of the
Company, the Trustee, shall mail to all Holders a notice (the "Company Notice")
of the occurrence of the Risk Event and of the purchase right set forth herein
arising as a result thereof. The Company shall also deliver a copy of such
notice of a repurchase right to the Trustee and cause a copy of such Notice of
a repurchase right, or a summary of the information contained therein, to be
published in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York.
Each notice of a repurchase right shall state:
(1) the Repurchase Date,
(2) the date by which the repurchase right must be exercised,
(3) the Repurchase Price,
(4) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow
to exercise a repurchase right, and
(5) the conversion price then in effect, the date which the
right to convert the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased will
terminate and the place or places where Notes may be surrendered for
conversion.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices or defect
therein shall limit any Holder's right to exercise a purchase right or affect
the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of Notes.
If any of the foregoing provisions are inconsistent with applicable
law, such law shall govern.
59
<PAGE> 67
(b) To exercise a repurchase right, a Holder shall deliver to the
Trustee on or before the close of business on the fifth day preceding the
Repurchase Date (i) written notice of the Holder's exercise of such right,
which notice shall set forth the name the Holder, the principal amount of the
Notes to be repurchased, a statement that an election to exercise the
repurchase right is being made thereby, and (ii) the Notes with respect to
which the repurchase right is being exercised, duly endorsed for transfer to
the Company. Such written notice shall be irrevocable, except that the right
of the Holder to convert the Notes with respect to which the repurchase right
is being exercised shall continue until the close of business on the last
Trading Day preceding the Repurchase Date.
(c) In the event a repurchase right shall be exercised in accordance
with the terms hereof, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid the Repurchase
Price in cash to the Holder on Repurchase Date, together with accrued and
unpaid interest to the Repurchase Date payable with respect to the Notes to
which the purchase right has been exercised; provided, however, that
installments of interest that mature on or prior the Repurchase Date shall be
payable in cash to the Holders of such Notes, or one or more predecessor Notes,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Date
according to the terms and provisions of Article 3.
(d) If any Note surrendered for repurchase shall be so paid on the
Repurchase Date, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest to the extent
permitted by applicable law from the Repurchase Date at the rate borne by the
Note and each Note shall remain convertible into Common Stock until the
principal of such Note shall have been paid or duly provided for.
(e) Any Note which is to be repurchased only in part shall be
surrendered to the Trustee (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note without
service charge, a new Note or Notes, containing identical terms and conditions,
of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unrepurchased portion of the
principal of the Note so surrendered.
(f) Prior to the Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an
amount of money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of the Notes that are to
be repaid on the Repurchase Date.
14.3 Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article 14,
(a) the term "beneficial owner" shall be determined in accordance
with Rule 13d-3, as in effect on the date of the final execution of this
Indenture, promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to
the Exchange Act;
(b) the term "Person" shall include any syndicate or group which
would be deemed to be a "person" under Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, as
in effect on the date of the original execution of this Indenture; and
(c) a "Risk Event" shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
60
<PAGE> 68
(i) any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the
Company or any current or future employee or director benefit plan of
the Company or any subsidiary of the Company or any entity holding
capital stock of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of such plan
or any underwriter engaged in a firm commitment underwriting in
connection with a public offering of capital stock of the Company) is
or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, through a
purchase, merger or other acquisition transaction or series of
transactions, of shares of capital stock of the Company entitling such
Person to exercise 50% or more of the total voting power of all shares
of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in the
elections of directors (any shares of voting stock of which such
person or group is the beneficial owner that are not then outstanding
being deemed outstanding for purposes of calculating such percentage);
or
(ii) the Company adopts a plan relating to the liquidation
or dissolution of the Company;
(iii) any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of
the Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into
the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of
the assets of the Company to another Person (other than a merger (x)
which does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or
cancellation of outstanding shares of Common stock or (y) which is
affected solely to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of the
Company and results in a reclassification, conversion or exchange of
outstanding shares of Common Stock into solely shares of Common
Stock); or
(iv) a change in the Board of Directors of the Company in
which the individuals who constituted the Board of Directors of the
Company at the beginning of the twelve-month period immediately
preceding such change (together with any other director whose election
by the Board of Directors of the Company or whose nomination for
election by the stockholders of the Company was approved by a vote of
at least a majority of the directors then in office either who were
directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any
reason to constitute a majority of the directors then in office.
provided, however, that a Risk Event shall not be deemed to have occurred if
the closing price per share of Common Stock for any five (5) Trading Days
within the period of ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending immediately
before the Risk Event shall equal or exceed 105% of the conversion price of
such Notes in effect on each such Trading Day.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

relating thereto in which he may become involved as a party or otherwise or
with which he may be threatened by reason of his being or having been a
Director, officer or employee of the Association or such other corporation, or
by reason of any action taken or omitted by him in his capacity as such
Director, officer or employee, whether or not he continues to be such at the
time such liability or expenses are incurred, provided that nothing contained

person who is adjudged guilty of, or liable for, willful misconduct, gross
neglect of duty or criminal acts, unless, at the time such indemnification is

employees against expenses, penalties, or other payments incurred in an
administrative proceeding or action instituted by an appropriate regulatory
agency which proceeding or action results in a final order assessing civil
money penalties or requiring affirmative action by an individual or individuals
in the form of payments to the Association. Every person who may be
indemnified under the provisions of this paragraph and who has been wholly
successful on the merits with respect to any Claim shall be entitled to
indemnification as of right. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, any
indemnification under this paragraph shall be at the sole discretion of the
Board of Directors and shall be made only if the Board of Directors or the
Executive Committee acting by a quorum consisting of Directors who are not
parties to such Claim shall find or if independent legal counsel (who may be
the regular counsel of the Association) selected by the Board of Directors or
Executive Committee whether or not a disinterested quorum exists shall render
their opinion that in view of all of the circumstances then surrounding the
Claim, such indemnification is equitable and in the best interests of the
Association. Among the circumstances to be taken into consideration in
arriving at such a finding or opinion is the existence or non-existence of a
contract of insurance or indemnity under which the Association would be wholly
or partially reimbursed for such indemnification, but the existence or
non-existence of such insurance is not the sole circumstance to be considered
nor shall it be wholly determinative of whether such indemnification shall be
made. In addition to such finding or opinion, no indemnification under this
paragraph shall be made unless the Board of Directors or the Executive
Committee acting by a quorum consisting of Directors who are not parties to
such Claim shall find or if independent legal counsel (who may be the regular
counsel of the Association) selected by the Board of Directors or Executive
Committee whether or not a disinterested quorum exists shall render their
opinion that the Director, officer or employee acted in good faith in what he
reasonably believed to be the best interests of the Association or such other
corporation and further in the case of any criminal action or proceeding, that
the Director, officer or employee reasonably believed his
-8-
<PAGE> 9
conduct to be lawful. Determination of any Claim by judgment adverse to a
Director, officer or employee by settlement with or without Court approval or
conviction upon a plea of guilty or of nolocontendere or its equivalent shall
not create a presumption that a Director, officer or employee failed to meet
the standards of conduct set forth in this paragraph. Expenses incurred with
respect to any Claim may be advanced by the Association prior to the final
disposition thereof upon receipt of an undertaking satisfactory to the
Association by or on behalf of the recipient to repay such amount unless it is
ultimately determined that he is entitled to indemnification under this
paragraph. The rights of indemnification provided in this paragraph shall be
in addition to any rights to which any Director, officer or employee may
otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law. Every person who
shall act as a Director, officer or employee of this Association shall be
conclusively presumed to be doing so in reliance upon the right of
indemnification provided for in this paragraph.
ELEVENTH. These Articles of Association may be amended at any regular or
special meeting of the shareholders by the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the stock of this Association, unless the vote of the holders of a
greater amount of stock is required by law, and in that case by the vote of the
holders of such greater amount.

resignation as a director to be effective at the pleasure of the Board
provided, however, that in no event shall such person be nominated or elected
as a director. Provided, however, following a person's retirement or
resignation as a director because of the age limitations herein set forth with
respect to election or re-election as a director, such person may, in special
or unusual circumstances, and at the discretion of the Board, be elected by the

among the directors, the remaining directors shall constitute the directors of
the Bank until such vacancy is filled by the remaining directors, and any

- 14 -

SCHEDULE RC-R--RISK-BASED CAPITAL
This schedule must be completed by all banks as follows: Banks that reported total assets of $1 billion or more in Schedule RC,
item 12, for June 30, 1993, must complete items 2 through 9 and Memorandum item 1. Banks with assets of less than
$1 billion must complete items 1 through 3 below or Schedule RC-R in its entirety, depending on their response to item 1 below.
1. Test for determining the extent to which Schedule RC-R must be completed. To be completed --------
only by banks with total assets of less than $1 billion. Indicate in the appropriate | C480 | <-
--------------
box at the right whether the bank has total capital greater than or equal to eight percent | YES NO |
--------------------------
of adjusted total assets .......................................................... | RCFD 6056 | |////| | 1.
--------------------------
For purposes of this test, adjusted total assets equals total assets less cash, U.S. Treasuries, U.S. Government
agency obligations, and 80 percent of U.S. Government-sponsored agency obligations plus the allowance for loan
and lease losses and selected off-balance sheet items as reported on Schedule RC-L (see instructions).
If the box marked YES has been checked, then the bank only has to complete items 2 and 3 below. If the box marked
NO has been checked, the bank must complete the remainder of this schedule.
A NO response to item 1 does not necessarily mean that the bank's actual risk-based capital ratio is less than eight
percent or that the bank is not in compliance with the risk-based capital guidelines.
