In consideration of the premises provided for herein, the Company and
the Trustee mutually covenant and agree for the equal and proportionate benefit
of all Holders of the 2007 Notes as follows:
ARTICLE ONE
THE 2007 NOTES
SECTION 101 Designation of 2007 Notes; Establishment of Form.
There shall be a series of Securities designated "4% Convertible
Subordinated Notes due 2007" of the Company, and the form thereof shall be
substantially as set forth in Annex A hereto, which is incorporated into and
shall be deemed a part of this First Supplemental Indenture, in each case with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
are required or permitted by the Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers
or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon
as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or
Depositary therefor or as may, consistently therewith, be determined by the
officers of the Company executing such 2007 Notes, as evidenced by their
execution of the 2007 Notes.
SECTION 102 Global Securities; Certificated Securities; Paying Agent and
Conversion Agent.
(a) Issue of Global Securities. All of the 2007 Notes shall be
issued initially in the form of one or more Global Securities, which shall be
deposited on behalf of the purchasers of the 2007 Notes represented thereby with
the Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, as custodian for the Depositary, The
Depository Trust Company, and registered in the name of its nominee, Cede & Co.,
duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as provided in the
Indenture. The aggregate principal amount of a Global Security may from time to
time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the
Securities Custodian as hereinafter provided, subject in each case to compliance
with the Applicable Procedures.
(b) Global Securities in General. Each Global Security shall
represent such of the Outstanding 2007 Notes as shall be specified therein and
each shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding
2007 Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding 2007 Notes represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or
increased, as appropriate, to reflect exchanges, redemptions, purchases or
conversions of such 2007 Notes. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect
the amount of any increase or decrease in the principal amount of Outstanding
2007 Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Securities Custodian in
accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the
Depositary and the Securities Custodian.
2

Members of, or participants in, the Depositary ("Agent
Members") shall have no rights under the Indenture with respect to any Global
Security held on their behalf by the Depositary or under the Global Security,
and the Depositary (including, for this purpose, its nominee) may be treated by
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the
absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall (A) prevent the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary
or (B) impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any 2007
Note.
The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as
Depositary with respect to the Global Securities.

issued only under the limited circumstances provided in Section 305 of the

for the Global Securities or if it at any time ceases to be a "clearing
agency" registered under the Exchange Act if so required by applicable
law or regulation and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days, or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and the Security Registrar has received a written request
from the Depositary to issue Certificated Securities. In either case,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a
Company Order (which the Company agrees to deliver promptly),
authenticate and deliver Certificated Securities in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Securities in exchange therefor. Certificated Securities issued in
exchange for beneficial interests in Global Securities shall be
registered in such names and shall be in such authorized denominations
as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee
shall deliver or cause to be delivered such Certificated Securities to
the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. Such
exchange shall be effected in accordance with the Applicable
Procedures. Nothing herein shall require
3

the Trustee to communicate directly with beneficial owners of interests
in any 2007 Note.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this First
Supplemental Indenture other than the provisions set forth in Section
103(a)(1) hereof, a Global Security may not be exchanged or transferred
except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or
by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of
the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor
Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

Certificated Securities may be transferred and exchanged for other Certificated
Securities as provided in Section 305 of the Indenture.

with Section 303 of the Indenture.

Notes that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any
Holder has converted pursuant to Article Seventeen.

SECTION 204 Amendment of Article Seventeen of the Original Indenture.
Article Seventeen of the Original Indenture is hereby supplemented and
amended, subject to Section 201 hereof and with respect to the 2007 Notes only,
by revising subsections (e) and (f) of Section 1704 of the Original Indenture to
read as follows:
"(e) (1) In case there shall be completed a tender or exchange offer
made by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for all or any portion of
the Common Stock (any such tender or exchange offer being referred to as an
"Offer") that involves an aggregate consideration having a fair market value as
of the expiration of such Offer (the "Expiration Time") that, together with (i)
any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration payable in respect
of any other Offer, as of the expiration of such other Offer, expiring within
the 12 months preceding the expiration of such Offer and in respect of which no
Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subsection (e) has been made and
(ii) the aggregate amount of any all-cash distributions referred to in
subsection (d) of this Section 1704 to all holders of Common Stock within the 12
months preceding the expiration of such Offer for which no Conversion Price
adjustment pursuant to such subsection (d) has been made, exceeds 15% of the
product of the then current market price per share (determined as provided in
subsection (f) below) of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time times the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock, Limited Vote Common Stock and
As-Converted Series A Preferred Shares outstanding (including any tendered
shares) at the Expiration Time, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by
multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Expiration
Time by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the product of the then
current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (f) below)
of the Common Stock at the Expiration Time times the aggregate number of shares
of Common Stock, Limited Vote Common Stock and As- Converted Series A Preferred
Shares outstanding (including any tendered shares) at the Expiration Time and
the denominator shall be the sum of (i) the fair market value of the aggregate
consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum
specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered and not
withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted being
referred to as the "Purchased Shares") and (ii) the product of (x) such current
market price per share at the Expiration Time times (y) such number of
outstanding shares at the Expiration Time less the number of Purchased Shares,
such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business
on the day following the Expiration Time.
"(e) (2) In case there shall be completed an Offer made by a Person
other than the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or UtiliCorp United, Inc. for an
amount that increases the offeror's ownership
10
14
of Common Stock to more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Common Stock
outstanding and shall involve the payment by such Person of consideration per
share of Common Stock having a fair market value that as of the last time (the
"Offer Expiration Time") tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such Offer
(as it shall have been amended) that exceeds the current market price per share
of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration
Time, and in which, as of the Offer Expiration Time, the Board of Directors is
not recommending rejection of the Offer, the Conversion Price shall be reduced
so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the Conversion
Price in effect immediately prior to the Offer Expiration Time by a fraction the
numerator of which shall be the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock,
Limited Vote Common Stock and As-Converted Series A Preferred Shares outstanding
(including any tendered or exchanged shares) at the Offer Expiration Time
multiplied by the current market price per share of the Common Stock on the
Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Time and the denominator of
which shall be the sum of (x) the fair market value of the aggregate
consideration payable to stockholders based on the acceptance (up to any maximum
specified in the terms of the Offer) of all shares validly tendered or exchanged
and not withdrawn as of the Offer Expiration Time (the shares deemed so
accepted, up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Accepted Purchased
Shares") and (y) the product of such number of shares outstanding (less any
Accepted Purchased Shares) at the Offer Expiration Time and the current market
price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer
Expiration Time, such reduction to become effective immediately prior to the
opening of business on the Trading Day following the Offer Expiration Time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the adjustment described in this clause (2) of
subsection (e) shall not be made if, as of the Offer Expiration Time, the
offering documents with respect to such Offer disclose a plan or intention to
cause the Company to engage in any transaction described in Article Eight.
"For purposes of this subsection (e), the fair market value of any
consideration with respect to an Offer shall be determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company (whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be
conclusive evidence of such fair market value) and described in a Board
Resolution.
"In no case shall the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this
subsection (e).
"(f) For the purpose of any computation under subsections (b), (c), (d)
and (e) (1) above, the current market price per share of Common Stock on any
date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last Sale Prices of a share of
Common Stock for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company
commencing not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the
earlier of the date in question and the date before the "ex date," with respect
to the issuance, distribution or Offer requiring such computation. For purposes
of any computation under subsection (e)(2) above, the current market price per
share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the Last
Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for such day and each of the next two
succeeding Trading Days. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "ex date,"
when used with respect to any issuance, distribution or payments with respect to
an Offer, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on
the New York Stock Exchange (or if not listed or
11
15
admitted to trading thereon, then on the principal national securities exchange
on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading) without the right to
receive such issuance, distribution or Offer."
Article Seventeen of the Original Indenture is hereby further
supplemented and amended, subject to Section 201 hereof and with respect to the
2007 Notes only, by revising subsection (e) of Section 1706 to read as follows:
"(e) the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person described
in clause (2) of subsection (e) of Section 1704 shall complete an
Offer;".
SECTION 205 Addition of Article Eighteen to the Original Indenture
Applicable Only to 2007 Notes.
The Original Indenture is hereby supplemented and amended, subject to
Section 201 hereof and with respect to the 2007 Notes only, by adding the
following Article Eighteen:

Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but

17
If any of the 2007 Notes is in the form of a Global Security,
then the Company shall modify such notice to the extent necessary to
accord with the procedures of the Depositary applicable to the
repurchase of Global Securities.
(c) A Holder may exercise its rights specified in subsection
(a) of this Section 1801 upon delivery of a written notice (which shall
be in substantially the form included as an attachment to the 2007
Notes and which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in
the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by
other means in accordance with the Depositary's customary procedures)
of the exercise of such rights (a "Repurchase Notice") to any Paying
Agent at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day
next preceding the Repurchase Date.
The delivery of a 2007 Note to any Paying Agent (together with
all necessary endorsements) at the office of such Paying Agent shall be
a condition to the receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Price
therefor.
The Company shall repurchase from the Holder thereof, pursuant
to this Section 1801, a portion of a 2007 Note if the principal amount
of such portion is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000. Provisions
of this Indenture that apply to the repurchase of all of a 2007 Note
pursuant to Sections 1801 through 1806 also apply to the repurchase of
such portion of such 2007 Note.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder
delivering to a Paying Agent the Repurchase Notice contemplated by this
subsection (c) shall have the right to withdraw such Repurchase Notice
in whole or as to a portion thereof that is a principal amount of
$1,000 or an integral multiple thereof at any time prior to the close
of business on the Business Day next preceding the Repurchase Date by
delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in
accordance with Section 1802.
A Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the
receipt by it of any Repurchase Notice or written withdrawal thereof.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case
of Global Securities, any Repurchase Notice may be delivered or
withdrawn and such 2007 Notes may be surrendered or delivered for
repurchase in accordance with the Applicable Procedures of the
Depositary as in effect from time to time.
(d) The Company shall not be required to offer to repurchase
any 2007 Notes pursuant to this Section 1801 after the occurrence of a
Fundamental Change if a third party shall make such offer in the
manner, at the times and otherwise in
14
18
compliance with the requirements applicable to a repurchase offer made
following a Fundamental Change pursuant to this Article Eighteen and
purchases all 2007 Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such
offer.
SECTION 1802. Effect of Repurchase Notice.
Upon receipt by any Paying Agent of the Repurchase Notice
specified in Section 1801(c), the Holder of the 2007 Notes in respect
of which such Repurchase Notice was given shall (unless such Repurchase
Notice is withdrawn as specified below) thereafter be entitled to
receive the Repurchase Price with respect to such 2007 Notes. Such
Repurchase Price shall be paid to such Holder promptly following the
Repurchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 1801(c) have been
satisfied). Any 2007 Notes in respect of which a Repurchase Notice has
been given by the Holder thereof may not be converted into Common Stock
on or after the date of the delivery of such Repurchase Notice unless
such Repurchase Notice has first been validly withdrawn or unless the
Company shall default on the payment of the Repurchase Price, in which
case such 2007 Notes will continue to be convertible.
A Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn by means of a written
notice (which may be delivered by letter, overnight courier, hand
delivery, facsimile transmission or in any other written form and, in
the case of Global Securities, may be delivered electronically or by
other means in accordance with the Depositary's customary procedures)
of withdrawal delivered by the Holder to a Paying Agent at any time
prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Repurchase Date, specifying the principal amount of the
2007 Note or portion thereof (which must be a principal amount of
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) with
respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted.
SECTION 1803. Deposit of Repurchase Price.
On or before 11:00 a.m. New York City time on the Repurchase
Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent
(other than the Company or an Affiliate of the Company) an amount of
money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business
Day) sufficient to pay the aggregate Repurchase Price of all the 2007
Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of such
Repurchase Date. The manner in which the deposit required by this
Section 1803 is made by the Company shall be at the option of the
Company, provided, however, that such deposit shall be made in a manner
such that the Trustee or a Paying Agent shall have immediately
available funds on the Repurchase Date.
15
19
If a Paying Agent holds, in accordance with the terms hereof,
money sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price of any 2007 Notes for
which a Repurchase Notice has been validly tendered and not withdrawn
in accordance with this Indenture then, on the Repurchase Date, such
2007 Notes will cease to be Outstanding and the rights of the Holder in
respect thereof shall terminate (other than the right to receive the
Repurchase Price as aforesaid), unless such payment is prohibited by
Article Twelve hereof, in which case the 2007 Notes shall continue to
accrue interest and be convertible until such prohibition no longer
exists and the 2007 Notes are repurchased. The Company shall publicly
announce the principal amount of 2007 Notes repurchased as a result of
such Fundamental Change on or as soon as practicable after the
Repurchase Date.
SECTION 1804. Securities Purchased In Part.
Any 2007 Note that is to be purchased only in part shall be
surrendered at the office of a Paying Agent and promptly after the
Repurchase Date the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such 2007 Note, without
service charge, a new 2007 Note or 2007 Notes, of such authorized
denomination or denominations as may be requested by such Holder, in
aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion
of the principal amount of the 2007 Note so surrendered that is not
repurchased.
SECTION 1805. Compliance With Securities Laws Upon Purchase of
Securities.
In connection with any offer to repurchase or repurchase of
2007 Notes under Section 1801, the Company shall (a) comply with Rule
13e-4 (or any successor to such Rule), if applicable, under the
Exchange Act, (b) file the related Schedule TO (or any successor or
similar schedule, form or report) if required under the Exchange Act,
and (c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in
connection with such offer, all so as to permit the rights of the
Holders and obligations of the Company under Sections 1801 through 1806
to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified therein.
SECTION 1806. Repayment to the Company.
To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by
the Company pursuant to Section 1803 exceeds the aggregate Repurchase
Price of the 2007 Notes or portions thereof that the Company is
obligated to repurchase, then promptly after the Repurchase Date the
Trustee or a Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall return any such
excess to the Company."

4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTE DUE 2007
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of debt securities of
the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or
more series under a Subordinated Indenture, dated as of July 25, 2000, as
amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture thereto, dated as
of July 25, 2000 (as so amended and supplemented, herein called the
"Indenture"), between the Company and Chase Bank of Texas, National Association,
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 Debt and the Holders of the Securities and of the
terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $172,500,000.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
No sinking fund is provided for the Securities. At any time on or after
July 3, 2003, the Securities are redeemable as a whole, or in part, at the
option of the Company, at the following Redemption Prices expressed as a
percentage of the principal amount:
Period Redemption Price
------- ----------------
Beginning on July 3, 2003 and ending on June 30, 2004............................. 102.286%
Beginning on July 1, 2004 and ending on June 30, 2005............................. 101.714%
Beginning on July 1, 2005 and ending on June 30, 2006............................. 101.143%
Beginning on July 1, 2006 and ending on June 30, 2007............................. 100.571%
and 100% at July 1, 2007, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to,
but excluding, the Redemption Date. If the Redemption Date is also an Interest
Payment Date, interest shall be paid to the Holder on the preceding record date.
NOTICE OF REDEMPTION
Notice of redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30
days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed at its registered address. Securities in denominations
larger than $1,000 principal amount may be redeemed in part, but only in whole
multiples of $1,000. On and after the Redemption Date, interest shall cease to
A-5
28
accrue on Securities or portions thereof called for redemption, unless the
Company defaults in making such payment of the Redemption Price, in which case
interest shall continue to accrue until such default is cured and the Securities
are redeemed.
REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES AT OPTION OF HOLDER UPON A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN
CONTROL
At the option of the Holder and subject to the terms and conditions of
the Indenture, the Company shall become obligated to repurchase all or any part
specified by the Holder (so long as the principal amount of such part is $1,000
or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the Securities held by
such Holder on the date that is 30 days after the date of the Company's notice
of the occurrence of a Fundamental Change at a Repurchase Price equal to 100% of
the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid
interest to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date. If the Repurchase Date is also
an Interest Payment Date, interest shall be paid to the Holder on the preceding
Regular Record Date.
The Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Repurchase Notice (in
whole or in a portion thereof that is $1,000 principal amount or an integral
multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof) at any time prior to the close of business
on the Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date by delivering a written notice
of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.
CONVERSION
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, a Holder of a Security may
convert the Security into shares of Common Stock at any time until the close of
business on the second Business Day prior to the Stated Maturity; provided,
however, that if the Security is called for redemption, the conversion right
will terminate at the close of business on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Redemption Date for such Security or such earlier date as the
Holder presents such Security for redemption (unless the Company shall default
in making the redemption payment when due, in which case the conversion right
shall terminate at the close of business on the date such default is cured and
such Security is redeemed). A Security in respect of which a Holder has
delivered a Repurchase Notice exercising the option of such Holder to require
the Company to repurchase such Security may be converted only if such notice of
exercise is withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The initial
Conversion Price is $ 54.53, subject to adjustment as a result of certain events
described in the Indenture. The Company will deliver cash or a check in lieu of
any fractional share of Common Stock.
To convert a Security, a Holder must (a) complete and manually sign the
conversion notice in substantially the form attached hereto and deliver such
notice to a Conversion Agent, (b) surrender the Security to the Conversion
Agent, (c) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents (including
any certification that may be required under applicable law) if required by the
Conversion Agent,(d) pay any transfer or similar tax, if required, and (e) pay
an amount equal to accrued interest payable on the Security, if required by the
Indenture.

SUBORDINATION
The indebtedness evidenced by this Security is, to the extent provided
in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company, and this Security is issued
subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each Holder of
this Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so
provided and (c) appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
The Indenture contains provisions for Defeasance and Covenant
Defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Security and certain
restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security, in
each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
TRANSFER
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration or transfer at the
office or agency in a Place of Payment for Securities of this series, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of any authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, executed by the
Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, will be issued to the
designated transferee or transferees.
The Securities of this series 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 to certain limitations set forth therein
and on the face of this Security, Securities of this series are exchangeable for
a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series of like tenor and
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.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Person in whose name this Security
A-7

is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series at the time Outstanding, to waive
compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued
upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Security.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall
occur and be continuing, the principal of Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture. If an Event of Default occurs as a result of certain events of
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Company, any Significant
Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that together would constitute a
Significant Subsidiary, the principal amount of the Securities shall become due
and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the
Trustee or any Holder, all as and to the extent provided in the Indenture.
