SANTA FE SNYDER CORPORATION
8.05% SENIOR NOTE DUE 2004
This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the
Company (the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture dated as of June 1, 1999 (the "Indenture"), between the Company
and The Bank of New York, as Trustee (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, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of
the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms
upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. As
provided in the Indenture, the Securities may be issued in one or more series,
which different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts,
may mature at different times, may bear interest, if any, at different rates,
may be subject to different redemption provisions, if any, may be subject to
different sinking, purchase or analogous funds, if any, may be subject to
different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as in the
Indenture provided or permitted. This Security is one of a series of Securities
designated on the face hereof limited (subject to the terms of the Indenture)
in aggregate principal amount to U.S.
$125,000,000.
The Securities of this series are redeemable, upon not less than 30
nor more than 60 days' notice by mail, as a whole or in part, at the option of
the Company at any time at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of
the principal amount thereof, (ii) the applicable Make-Whole Premium as
determined by an Independent Investment Banker, and (iii) accrued and unpaid
interest thereon to the date of redemption, but interest installments whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to such date of redemption will be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of
record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the
face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.
"Adjusted Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any Redemption Date,
the Comparable Treasury Yield, plus 0.25%.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security
selected by an Independent Investment Banker that has a constant maturity that
corresponds to the period from the Redemption Date to the Stated Maturity of
the Securities of this series to be redeemed (the "Remaining Term"), calculated
to the nearest 1/12th of a year.
"Comparable Treasury Yield" means the rate per annum equal to the
weekly average yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue. The weekly
average yields to maturity of United States Treasury securities will be
determined as of the third Business Day preceding such Redemption Date and by
reference to the most recent statistical release (or any successor release)
published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "H.15 (519)
Selected Interest Rates" or any successor release. If the H.15 statistical
release sets forth a weekly average yield for United States Treasury securities
having a constant maturity that is the same as the Remaining Term, then the
Comparable Treasury Yield will be equal to such weekly average yield. In all
other cases, the Comparable Treasury Yield will be calculated by interpolation,
on a straight-line basis, between the weekly average yields on the United
States Treasury securities that have a constant maturity
A-4
9
closest to and greater than the Remaining Term and the United States Treasury
securities that have a constant maturity closest to and less than the Remaining
Term (in each case as set forth in the H.15 statistical release or any
successor release). Any weekly average yields calculated by interpolation will
be rounded to the nearest 1/100th of 1%, with any figure of 1/200th of 1% or
above being rounded upward. If weekly average yields for United States Treasury
securities are not available in the H.15 statistical release or otherwise, then
the Comparable Treasury Yield will be calculated by interpolation of comparable
rates selected by the Independent Investment Banker.
"Independent Investment Banker" means an independent investment
banking institution of national reputation appointed by the Company for the
purpose of calculating the Make-Whole Premium payable in respect of the
redemption of any Securities of this series, or any portion thereof. If the
Company fails to appoint such an independent investment banking institution at
least 45 days prior to an applicable Redemption Date, or if the independent
investment banking institution so appointed is unwilling or unable to calculate
the applicable Make-Whole Premium, the calculation will be made by Salomon
Smith Barney Inc.; provided, however, that in such case if Salomon Smith Barney
Inc. is unwilling or unable to make the calculation, the Company will appoint
an independent investment banking institution to make such calculation.
"Make-Whole Premium" means an amount with respect to any Securities of
this series to be redeemed, equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the
present values, calculated as of the applicable Redemption Date, of the
remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (excluding any
accrued interest for any period prior to the Redemption Date) discounted to the
date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting
of twelve 30-day months) at the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (ii) the principal
amount of the Securities being redeemed. The present values shall be calculated
in accordance with generally accepted principles of financial analysis.
Notwithstanding Section 1104 of the Indenture, the notice of
redemption with respect to the foregoing redemption need not set forth the
Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof.
Promptly after the calculation thereof, the Company shall give the
Trustee written notice of the Redemption Price for the foregoing redemption.
In the event of redemption of this Security in part only, a new
Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed
portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the
cancellation hereof.
If an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series
shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series
may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in
the Indenture.
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 aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series to be affected (voting as one class). The
Indenture also contains
A-5
10
provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of all affected series (voting as one class), on
behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of Securities of any series then Outstanding to
waive past defaults under the Indenture with respect to such series and their
consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or
in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent
or waiver is made upon this Security.
As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee
or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously
given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect
to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made
written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and
the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder
of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on this Security at the times, place(s) and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.
[This Global Security or portion hereof may not be exchanged for
Definitive Securities except in the limited circumstances provided in the
Indenture.
The holders of beneficial interests in this Global Security will not
be entitled to receive physical delivery of Definitive Securities except as
described in the Indenture and will not be considered the Holders hereof for
any purpose under the Indenture.]*

[As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register,
upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or
agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York or at
such other offices or agencies as the Company may designate, duly endorsed by,
or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities
of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for a like
aggregate principal amount, 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 U.S. $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor 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 transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security 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.
No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of or
contained in the Indenture or of or contained in any Security, or for any claim
based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, or in any Security, or because
of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against
any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor Person, either directly or through
the Company or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment, penalty or
otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby
expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as a condition of,
and as part of the consideration for, the Securities and the execution of the
Indenture.
The Indenture provides that the Company (a) will be discharged from
any and all obligations in respect of the Securities (except for certain
obligations described in the Indenture), or (b) need not comply with certain
restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company deposits,
in trust, with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations (or a
combination thereof) which through the payment of interest thereon and
principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money, in an
amount sufficient to pay all the principal of and interest of the Securities,
but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.
THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
