Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall pay, or cause to be
paid, if so requested by the Holder hereof by written notice to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable hereunder to the Holder hereof, or a
nominee therefor, by transferring by wire in immediately available funds to an

amount to be distributed to the Holder hereof (provided that written
instructions necessary to implement such wire transfers are received by the
Indenture Trustee prior to the Record Date related to any payment), without any
presentment or surrender of any Subclass A-6 Note, except that the Holder hereof
shall surrender this Subclass A-6 Note to the Indenture Trustee upon payment in
full of the principal and interest on this Subclass A-6 Note and such other sums
payable to the Holder hereof hereunder or under the Indenture. Any reduction in
the principal amount of this Subclass A-6 Note (or any one or more predecessor
Subclass A-6 Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be
binding upon all future Holders of this Subclass A-6 Note and of any Subclass

The Holder of this Subclass A-6 Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay
over to the Cash Manager any money (including principal, Premium and interest)
paid to it in respect of this Subclass A-6 Note in the event that the Cash
Manager, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not
paid in accordance with the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or
as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Cash Manager
in making such payment.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Subclass A-6 Note may be registered on the
register maintained by the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of registering
transfers and exchanges upon surrender of this Subclass A-6 Note for

pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with
such signature guaranteed, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may
require, and thereupon one or more new Subclass A-6 Notes of authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Subclass A-6 Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Subclass
A-6 Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the

hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect
to this Subclass A-6 Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and
the Subclass A-6 Notes by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes on the date of any
vote of such Holders (voting as a single class); provided that, without the
consent of each Holder of any class or subclass of Notes then Outstanding, no
such amendment may (i) modify the provisions of the Indenture, the Notes or the
Cash Management Agreement setting forth the frequency or the currency of payment
of, the maturity of, or the method of calculation of the amount of, any
interest, principal and Premium, if any, payable in respect of such class or
subclass of Notes, (ii) modify the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Indenture
relating to the sale of any assets of the Issuer, (iii) reduce the percentage of
the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of such class or subclass of Notes
required to approve any amendment or waiver of Section 9.01 of the Indenture or
(iv) alter the manner or priority of payment of any class or subclass of Notes
or the priority of payment of the Expenses, the Swap Payments or the Swap
Breakage Costs (each, a "Basic Terms Modification"). Any such amendment or
modification shall be binding on every Holder hereof, whether or not notation
thereof is made upon this Subclass A-6 Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to agree, without the consent of any Noteholder, (a) to any
modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of, or the waiver or
authorization of any breach or prospective breach of, any provision of any
Related Document or of the relevant Notes to correct a manifest error or an
error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or (b) to modify the
provisions of the Indenture or the Cash Management Agreement relating to the
timing of movement of Rental Payments or other monies received or Expenses
incurred among the Accounts by the Cash Manager.
The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and
Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of
each Noteholder of the class or subclass affected thereby and each Noteholder of
any class or subclass of Notes ranking senior thereto. In no event shall the
provisions set forth in Section 3.08 of the Indenture relating to the priority
of the Expenses, Swap Payments and Swap Breakage Costs be amended or modified.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes
representing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class
of Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Subclass A-6 Notes, to waive
compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver shall be conclusive and
11
binding upon all present and future Holders of this Subclass A-6 Note and of any
Subclass A-6 Note issued upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in
lieu of or upon the refinancing of this Subclass A-6 Note, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Subclass A-6 Note.
The term "Issuer" as used in this Subclass A-6 Note includes any successor
to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to
merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Subclass A-6 Notes under the Indenture.
The Subclass A-6 Notes are issuable only in registered form in
denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations
therein set forth.
This Subclass A-6 Note shall in all respects be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, including all matters of
construction, validity and performance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Subclass
A-6 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Subclass A-6 Note to be duly

amount of this Subclass A-8 Note (or any one or more predecessor Subclass A-8
Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon
all future Holders of this Subclass A-8 Note and of any Subclass A-8 Note issued
upon the registration of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the
refinancing of this Subclass A-8 Note, whether or not noted hereon.
The Holder of this Subclass A-8 Note agrees, by acceptance hereof, to pay
over to the Cash Manager any money (including principal, Premium and interest)
paid to it in respect of this Subclass A-8 Note in the event that the Cash
Manager, acting in good faith, determines subsequently that such monies were not
paid in accordance with the priority of payment provisions of the Indenture or
as a result of any other mistake of fact or law on the part of the Cash Manager
in making such payment.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Subclass A-8 Note may be registered on the
register maintained by the Indenture Trustee for the purpose of registering
transfers and exchanges upon surrender of this Subclass A-8 Note for
registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer
pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with
such signature guaranteed, and such other documents as the Indenture Trustee may
require, and thereupon one or more new Subclass A-8 Notes of authorized
denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any
registration of transfer or exchange of this Subclass A-8 Note, but the
transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such registration
of transfer or exchange.
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Subclass
A-8 Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name this Subclass A-8
Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be
specified in the Indenture) is registered as the absolute owner and Holder
hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of all amounts payable with respect
to this Subclass A-8 Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.
The Indenture permits the amendment or modification of the Indenture and
the Subclass A-8 Notes by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of a
majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of all Notes on the date of any
vote of such Holders (voting as a single class); provided that, without the
consent of each Holder of any class or Subclass of Notes then Outstanding, no
such amendment may (i) modify the provisions of the Indenture, the Notes or the
Cash Management Agreement setting forth the frequency or the currency of payment
of, the maturity of, or the method of calculation of the amount of, any
interest, principal and Premium, if any, payable in respect of such class or
Subclass of Notes, (ii) modify the provisions of Section 5.02 of the Indenture
relating to the sale of any assets of the Issuer, (iii) reduce the percentage of
the aggregate Outstanding Principal Balance of such class or Subclass of Notes
required to approve any amendment or waiver of Section 9.01 of the Indenture or
(iv) alter the manner or priority of payment of any class or Subclass of Notes
or the priority of payment of the Expenses, the Swap Payments or the Swap
Breakage Costs (each, a "Basic Terms Modification"). Any such amendment or
modification shall be binding on every Holder hereof, whether or not notation
thereof is made upon this Subclass A-8 Note. The Indenture also permits the
Indenture Trustee to agree, without the consent of any Noteholder, (a) to any
modification (other than a Basic Terms Modification) of, or the waiver or
authorization of any breach or prospective breach of, any provision of any
Related Document or of the relevant Notes to correct a manifest error or an
error which is of a formal, minor or technical nature or (b) to modify the
provisions of the Indenture or the Cash Management Agreement relating to the
timing of movement of Rental Payments or other monies received or Expenses
incurred among the Accounts by the Cash Manager.
The subordination provisions contained in Section 3.08, Section 3.09 and
Article X of the Indenture may not be amended or modified without the consent of
each Noteholder of the class or Subclass affected thereby and each Noteholder of
any class or Subclass of Notes ranking senior thereto. In no event shall the
provisions

23
set forth in Section 3.08 of the Indenture relating to the priority of the
Expenses, Swap Payments and Swap Breakage Costs be amended or modified.
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of Notes
representing a majority of the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Senior Class
of Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all of the Subclass A-8 Notes, to waive
compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver shall be conclusive and binding upon all present and future Holders of
this Subclass A-8 Note and of any Subclass A-8 Note issued upon the registration
of transfer of, in exchange or in lieu of or upon the refinancing of this
Subclass A-8 Note, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Subclass A-8 Note.
The term "Issuer" as used in this Subclass A-8 Note includes any successor
to the Issuer under the Indenture.
The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to
merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Subclass A-8 Notes under the Indenture.
The Subclass A-8 Notes are issuable only in registered form in
denominations as provided in the Indenture, subject to certain limitations
therein set forth.
This Subclass A-8 Note shall in all respects be governed by, and construed
in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, including all matters of
construction, validity and performance.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Subclass
A-8 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Subclass A-8 Note to be duly

and Bankers Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"). All
capitalized terms used in this Class B Note and not defined herein shall have
the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture. Reference is
made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a statement of
the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantor,

to all terms of the Indenture and shall constitute an Amortizing Note
thereunder.
The Issuer will redeem the Outstanding Principal Balance of this Class B
Note prior to the Final Maturity Date on the dates and in the amounts specified

after making payments entitled to priority under Section 3.08 of the Indenture.

The indebtedness evidenced by the Class B Notes is, to the extent and in
the manner provided in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Claims (as defined in the
Indenture), and this Class B Note is issued subject to such provisions. Each
Holder of this Class B Note, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be
bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Indenture Trustee on

Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, there will be

All amounts payable in respect of this Class B Note shall be payable in
U.S. dollars in immediately available funds at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Indenture Trustee or as otherwise directed in the manner provided in the

paid, if so requested by the Holder hereof by written notice to the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee, all amounts payable hereunder to the Holder hereof, or a
nominee therefor, by transferring by wire in immediately available funds to an
account maintained by the Holder hereof with a bank in the United States, the
amount to be distributed to the Holder hereof (provided that written
instructions necessary to implement such wire transfers are received by the
Indenture Trustee prior to the Record Date related to any payment), without any
presentment or surrender of any Class B Note, except that the Holder hereof
shall surrender this Class B Note to the Indenture Trustee upon payment in full
