On the Effective Date, as to such Allowed Secured Claim, at AWA's option either: (a) the holder of such Claim shall be treated in accordance with the terms and conditions of all documents respecting such Claim and the legal, equitable or contractual rights to which each holder of such Claim is entitled shall not otherwise be altered; (b) (i) any default, other than a default of the kind specified in Section 365(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be cured, provided that any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, which the Debtor may be obligated to pay with respect to such default shall be simple interest at the contract rate and not at any default or penalty rate of interest; (ii) the maturity of the Claim shall be reinstated as such maturity existed before any default; (iii) the holder of the Claim shall be compensated for any actual damages incurred as a result of any reasonable reliance by the holder on any contractual provision that entitled the holder to accelerate maturity of the Claim; and (iv) the other legal, equitable or contractual rights to which the holder of the Claim is entitled shall not otherwise be altered; provided, however, that as to any Allowed Secured Claim which is a nonrecourse claim and exceeds the value of the collateral securing the Claim, the collateral may be sold at a sale at which the holder of such Claim has an opportunity to bid; 12 19 (c) on the Effective Date, or on such other date thereafter as may be agreed to by the Debtor and the holder of such Claim, the Debtor shall abandon the collateral securing such Claim to the holder thereof in full satisfaction and release of such Claim; (d) on the Effective Date, the holder of such Claim shall receive, on account of such Claim, Cash equal to its Allowed Secured Claim, or such lesser amount to which the holder of such Claim shall agree, in full satisfaction and release of such Claim; (e) the holder of such Claim shall retain the liens securing such Claim and shall receive, on account of such Claim, deferred Cash payments, pursuant to Section 1129(b)(2)(A)(i)(II) of the Bankruptcy Code, totalling at least the Allowed amount of such Claim, of a Present Value, as of the Effective Date, of at least the value of such holder's interest in the Debtor's interest in the property securing such Claim; (f) on the Effective Date, any property that is subject to the liens securing such Claim shall be sold, subject to Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, free and clear of such liens, with payment of the net proceeds thereof to the holder of such Claim to the extent of the value of such holder's respective interest in such property; or (g) the holder of such Claim shall otherwise realize the indubitable equivalent of such Claim. Each holder of an Allowed Claim in Class 3.6 shall be considered to be in its own separate subclass within Class 3.6, and each such subclass will be deemed to be a separate Class for purposes of this Plan. In the event that AWA does not make such designation, the holder of an Allowed Secured Claim shall, at any time prior to the Effective Date, be entitled to petition the Bankruptcy Court for an order requiring AWA to make such designation, but shall not be entitled to any other relief or to exercise any other remedies, except in accordance with such designation and any applicable Final Order(s) of the Bankruptcy Court. 3.4. Class 4 -- Allowed Convenience Claims. This Class consists of Convenience Claims. Each Allowed Convenience Claim shall be paid by NewAWA Cash in the amount of such Allowed Convenience Claim to be distributed as provided in Section 10.1. Class 4 is not impaired under the Plan. 3.5. Class 5 -- Allowed General Unsecured Claims. This Class consists of General Unsecured Claims. 3.5.1. Each holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim shall receive its Pro Rata Share of 26,775,000 shares of NewAWA Class B Common Stock; provided, however, that if the holder is an Electing Unsecured Creditor in accordance with Section 3.5.2, such holder shall receive Electing Creditor Cash equal to $8.889 for each share of NewAWA Class B Common Stock otherwise allocable to it under this sentence. 3.5.2. A holder of an Allowed General Unsecured Claim may become an Electing Unsecured Creditor only by providing notice of such election on the Ballot which such holder submits. Any holder of a Disputed General Unsecured Claim that wishes to become an Electing Unsecured Creditor must provide notice to the Debtor of the exercise of such right by no later than the Voting Deadline. Each such election by a holder of a General Unsecured Claim shall be irrevocable and must pertain to the entire amount of such holder's General Unsecured Claim. In the event that the aggregate amount of the Electing Creditor Cash would be in excess of $100,000,000, then each Electing Unsecured Creditor shall receive only its Pro Rata Share of $100,000,000 in Cash and shall also receive a number of shares of Electing Creditor Stock equal to the number of shares of NewAWA Class B Common Stock it would have received if it were a Non-Electing Unsecured Creditor minus the result of dividing the Electing Creditor Cash it receives by $8.889. For purposes of allocating Electing Creditor Cash among Electing Unsecured Creditors, each Disputed General Unsecured Claim held by an Electing Unsecured Creditor shall initially be valued at its face amount; provided, however, in the event that the aggregate amount of Electing Creditor Cash would exceed $100,000,000 and one or more holders of Disputed General Unsecured Claims have become Electing Unsecured Creditors, then any party in interest with regard thereto (including, without limitation, the Creditors' Committee), may seek an order of the Bankruptcy Court estimating the amount of any and all such Disputed General Unsecured Claims at a lower amount and, then, regardless of the amount at which such Disputed General Unsecured Claims are eventually Allowed, the holders thereof will be paid Electing Creditor Cash in an amount which does not exceed the amount of Electing Creditor Cash which would be payable for a Claim in the amount of such 13 20 estimate and for any amount of the Disputed Claim which is Allowed in excess of such estimate, the holder shall receive Electing Creditor Stock in accordance with Section 10.4. NewAWA Class B Common Stock distributed to Non-Electing Unsecured Creditors, Electing Creditor Stock and Electing Creditor Cash shall be distributed in accordance with Section 10.2. 3.5.3. Any holder of an Unsecured Claim asserting that payment to any other holder of an Unsecured Claim should be subordinated to such first holder under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, may only make such assertion by filing an adversary proceeding in the Chapter 11 Case on or before the Voting Deadline, or such other date as may be established by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. Any such subordination of one Unsecured Claim to another Unsecured Claim shall be made only upon Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court and no distribution hereby to any holder of an Allowed Claim which is the subject of such an adversary proceeding shall be delayed or withheld except upon Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. Any such adversary proceeding involving holders of AWA Debenture Claims shall name as defendants the Debtor and on behalf of all such holders, the Indenture Trustee. 3.5.4. Class 5 is impaired under the Plan. 3.6. Class 6 -- AWA Preferred and Common Stock. 3.6.1. Class 6.1 -- AWA Preferred Stock. This Class consists of AWA Preferred Stock. Each holder of shares of AWA Preferred Stock shall receive its Pro Rata Share of $500,000 in Cash plus the right to purchase as of the Effective Date its Pro Rata Share of the first 250,000 shares of Over-Subscription Stock at the price of $8.889 per share or such lesser amount of Over-Subscription Stock as is available after the purchase of Equity Subscription Stock in accordance with Section 3.6.2. Such Cash shall be distributed in accordance with Section 10.1. Payment for such Over-Subscription Stock shall be made no later than the Effective Date. Such Cash and rights shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction for all Claims and Equity Interests arising in connection with the AWA Preferred Stock including accrued and unpaid dividends thereon. Class 6.1 is impaired under the Plan. All shares of AWA Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be cancelled, annulled and extinguished on the Effective Date. 3.6.2. Class 6.2 -- AWA Common Stock. (a) This Class consists of shares of AWA Common Stock other than shares of AWA Common Stock which are pledged as collateral for Employee Stock Purchase Notes. Each holder of such AWA Common Stock shall receive its Pro Rata Share of (i) the Equity Interests Stock and (ii) the Equity Interests Warrants, to be distributed in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 10.2. (b) Additionally, each such holder of AWA Common Stock other than the holder of a Disputed Equity Interest shall have the right to purchase its Pro Rata Share of the Equity Subscription Stock at the price of $8.889 per share; provided, however, that for purposes of determining such Pro Rata Share (i) there shall be considered to be an aggregate of 22,100,000 shares of AWA Common Stock and (ii) each such holder shall be considered to own the number of shares of AWA Common Stock for which it is the beneficial owner on the Disclosure Statement Order Date. Such right is not transferrable and may only be exercised by the beneficial holder of such AWA Common Stock as of the Voting Record Date by the irrevocable indication thereof on the Ballot which such holder delivers or causes to be delivered, but in the event that Persons not previously holders of AWA Common Stock purchase AWA Common Stock after the Voting Record Date and own such AWA Common Stock on the Disclosure Statement Order Date, each such Person shall be given the opportunity to subscribe for its Pro Rata Share of Equity Subscription Stock and, if available, for Over-Subscription Stock. Each holder of AWA Common Stock entitled to a Ballot may also indicate on the Ballot that it wishes to purchase Over-Subscription Stock, if available. The Over-Subscription Stock available to Purchasing Stockholders shall consist of the Equity Subscription Stock not subscribed for in accordance with the second preceding sentence and less the Over-Subscription Stock sold to holders of AWA Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 3.6.1. Each Purchasing Stockholder must irrevocably indicate on the Ballot the maximum number of shares of Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock which it desires to purchase. As set forth more fully in Section 10.2, either full payment or a satisfactory guarantee of 14 21 payment for all Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock must be delivered by the Voting Deadline. The procedure for allocating Over-Subscription Stock is set forth in Section 10.2. (c) Class 6.2 is impaired under the Plan. All shares of AWA Common Stock will be cancelled, annulled and extinguished on the Effective Date. 3.7. Class 7 -- Certain Other Claims and AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests. 3.7.1. Class 7.1 -- Employee Stock Purchase Note Claims and Certain AWA Common Stock. This Class consists of Stock Rescission or Damage Claims (including, without limitation, Claims by members of the putative plaintiff class in the Securities Action) which are held by Persons who are obligated under one or more Employee Stock Purchase Notes. This Class also includes AWA Common Stock pledged as collateral for Employee Stock Purchase Notes. Each holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest in this Class shall receive in exchange for and in consideration of the dismissal with prejudice and permanent enjoinment of the Securities Actions, a release of any and all indebtedness incurred under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, including the forgiveness, abandonment and cancellation of any liability under the Employee Stock Purchase Notes, but shall receive no other distribution under the Plan. In addition, all liens on AWA Common Stock securing Employee Stock Purchase Notes will be released and such AWA Common Stock will be returned to AWA and cancelled, annulled and extinguished as of the Effective Date and will not be entitled to any distribution under Section 3.6.2. Pursuant to Sections 1123(a)(5)(E), (F) and 1123(b)(3)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, the treatment provided Class 7.1 Claims constitutes a compromise and settlement of the Securities Action and any and all objections to such Claims. The Debtor will either file appropriate pleadings seeking to effect the treatment provided Class 7.1 Claims in this Section 3.7.1 as a compromise and settlement prior to the Confirmation Hearing or request the Bankruptcy Court to approve this compromise and settlement at the Confirmation Hearing as in the best interests of the Debtor and holders of Claims and Equity Interests and fair, equitable and reasonable. Class 7.1 is impaired under the Plan. 3.7.2. Certain AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests and Other Claims. This Class consists of the following Claims and Equity Interests (except to the extent they are included in Class 7.1): (i) AWA Warrants, Options, and Other Equity Interests, (ii) Stock Rescission or Damage Claims, (iii) Subordinated Claims and (iv) all Claims, if any, arising from the cancellation or rejection (to the extent they constitute executory contracts) of AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests. Holders of such Claims and Equity Interests will not be entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan on account of such Claims or Equity Interests, and pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, are deemed not to have accepted the Plan. Class 7.2 is impaired under the Plan. All AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests will be cancelled, annulled and extinguished on the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 5 EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES 5.1. Assumption of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. 5.1.1. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, on the Effective Date, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, AWA shall assume or assume and assign, as indicated, each of the Assumed Agreements including, without limitation, the executory contracts and unexpired leases listed on Schedule 3 hereto; provided, however, that AWA or NewAWA shall have the right, at any time prior to the Effective Date, to amend Schedule 3: (a) unless indicated otherwise on Schedule 3, to delete any executory contract or unexpired lease listed therein, thus providing for its rejection pursuant to Section 5.2; or (b) to add any executory contract or unexpired lease, thus providing for its assumption or assumption and assignment pursuant to this Section 5.1.1. The Debtor or NewAWA shall provide notice of any amendments to Schedule 3 to the parties to the executory contracts or unexpired leases affected thereby and, if such amendments are made before the Effective Date, to the parties on the Official Service List. Pursuant to Section 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions and assignments described in this Section 5.1.1, pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date. 5.1.2. Unless otherwise agreed by AWA and the counterparty to any such Assumed Agreement, (i) all cure payments which may be required by Section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code under any Assumed Agreement, if not previously made, shall be made on the Effective Date or promptly thereafter, and (ii) in the event of a dispute regarding the amount or timing of any cure payments, the ability of NewAWA to provide adequate assurance of future performance, or any other matter pertaining to assumption or assignment, such dispute shall be resolved by the Bankruptcy Court and NewAWA shall make such cure payments, if any, or provide such assurance as may be required by the Final Order resolving such dispute on the terms and conditions of such Final Order. 5.1.3. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including any such provision on Schedule 3) or in any contract, instrument, release or indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, each Assumed Agreement shall, at AWA's option, be assumed only to the extent that any such contract or lease constitutes an executory contract or unexpired lease. Listing a contract or lease on Schedule 3 shall not, in and of itself, constitute an admission by the Debtor or NewAWA that such contract or lease is an executory contract or unexpired lease or that the Debtor or NewAWA has any liability thereunder. Contracts and leases which are within the definition of Assumed Agreements and which are later determined 17 24 to have not been in fact executory contracts or unexpired leases, shall be treated in accordance with the provisions in the Plan for the treatment of that type of Claim which properly arises from the true nature of the legal relationship between the parties as determined by the Bankruptcy Court or by settlement; provided, however, that either the Debtor or NewAWA may in its sole discretion amend the Plan to provide for different treatment of any such Claim after Notice and a Hearing. 5.1.4. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including any such provision on Schedule 3) or in any contract, instrument, release or indenture or other agreement or document entered into in connection with the Plan, all assumptions of executory contracts and unexpired leases under the Plan shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Debtor or NewAWA to assign later such assumed executory contracts or unexpired leases, notwithstanding any prohibition to the contrary in any such contract or lease. 5.2. Rejection of Certain Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. On the Effective Date, except for every Assumed Agreement, each executory contract and unexpired lease entered into by AWA prior to the Petition Date that has not previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms and (to the extent they are executory contracts) all AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests shall be rejected pursuant to Sections 365 and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code and considered a Rejected Agreement hereunder. 5.3. Claims Based on Rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases. All proofs of claim with respect to Claims arising from the rejection of any Rejected Agreement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court no later than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any Claims not filed within such time shall be forever barred from assertion against the Debtor, its estate and property, or NewAWA. ARTICLE 6 IDENTIFICATION OF CLASSES OF CLAIMS NOT IMPAIRED BY THE PLAN AND THE CLASS OF CLAIMS AND EQUITY INTERESTS DEEMED TO HAVE REJECTED THE PLAN 6.1. Unimpaired Classes. Claims in Classes 1, 2 and 4 are not impaired under the Plan. Any Class not specifically designated in the Plan as unimpaired is impaired under the Plan. Claims in unimpaired Classes are not entitled to vote on the Plan. 6.2. Class Deemed to Have Rejected the Plan. Claims and Equity Interests in Class 7.2 are not entitled to receive or retain any property under the Plan and are therefore deemed not to have accepted the Plan, and such Class shall not be entitled to vote on the Plan. 6.3. Other Impaired Classes. Claims in Classes 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 5, 6.1, 6.2 and 7.1 are impaired under the Plan and shall be entitled to vote on the Plan. ARTICLE 7 ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION OF THE PLAN; EFFECT OF REJECTION BY ONE OR MORE CLASSES 7.1. Impaired Classes to Vote. Except as otherwise required by the Bankruptcy Code or the Bankruptcy Court, each holder of a Claim or Equity Interest that is impaired under the Plan is entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan if, as of the Voting Record Date, (i) its Claim is an Allowed Claim, (ii) its Claim has been temporarily allowed for voting purposes only by order of the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3018 (in which case such Claim may be voted in such temporarily allowed amount), (iii) its Claim has been scheduled by the Debtor (but only if such Claim is not scheduled as disputed, contingent or unliquidated) and no objection to such Claim has been filed, (iv) it has filed a proof of claim on or before the Bar Date (or such later date as the Bankruptcy Court may have established with respect to any particular Claim, but not later than the date of the order approving such Disclosure Statement), and such Claim is not a Disputed Claim, or (v) its Equity Interest is registered on the stock ledger or equivalent of the Debtor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of a Disputed Claim which has not been temporarily allowed as 18 25 provided above may nevertheless vote such Disputed Claim in an amount equal to the portion, if any, of such Claim which is not disputed and is shown as fixed, liquidated and undisputed in the Debtor's Schedules or such amount which the Debtor concedes is Allowed in a filing made by the Debtor in the Bankruptcy Court. Each holder of an AWA Debenture Claim, and not the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Claim, shall have the right to vote to accept or reject the Plan. 7.2. Acceptance by Class of Holders of Claims or Equity Interests. A Class of holders of Claims shall have accepted the Plan if the Plan is accepted by at least two-thirds in amount and more than one-half in number of the Allowed Claims of such Class that have voted to accept or reject the Plan. A Class of Equity Interests shall have accepted the Plan if acceptance is voted for by the holders of at least two-thirds in amount of the Equity Interests of such Class who have voted to accept or reject the Plan. 7.3. Cramdown. Inasmuch as Class 7.2 is deemed not to have accepted the Plan in accordance with Section 1129(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in the event that one or more other Classes of impaired Claims or Equity Interests does not accept or is deemed not to have accepted the Plan, the Debtor requests that the Bankruptcy Court confirm the Plan in accordance with Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. AWA and AmWest reserve the right to modify the Plan to the extent, if any, that confirmation pursuant to Section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code requires or permits such modification. ARTICLE 8 MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN 8.1. Investment Agreement.

Any Person who as of the Effective Date is or was an officer or director of AWA, shall be a beneficiary of the releases provided under Section 8.6.3 if such Person, no later than the Effective Date, delivers a release in substantially the form of Sections 8.6.1 and 8.6.2. 8.7. Indemnification Obligations. 8.7.1. Upon, and at all times after the Effective Date, the NewAWA Charter shall contain provisions which (i) eliminate the personal liability of AWA's former, present and future directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of their fiduciary duties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law and (ii) require NewAWA, subject, to appropriate procedures, to indemnify AWA's former, present and future directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. 8.7.2.

For purposes of the Plan, except as limited hereinafter, any obligations of the Debtor to indemnify its current and former directors, officers, employees, and any officer, director or employee serving as a fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or program of AWA, pursuant to charter, by-laws, contract or applicable state law shall be deemed to be, and may be treated as though they are, executory contracts that are Assumed Agreements under the Plan, and such obligations (subject to any defenses thereto) shall survive confirmation of the Plan and remain unaffected thereby, irrespective of whether indemnification is owed in connection with a pre-Petition Date or post-Petition Date occurrence; provided however, that the foregoing assumption shall not affect any release of such obligations given to the Debtor before the Effective Date or to NewAWA on or after the Effective Date. 8.8. Exemption from Certain Taxes. Pursuant to Section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, none of the transactions contemplated to take place on the Effective Date shall subject the Debtor or NewAWA to any state or local sales, use, transfer, documentary, recording or gains tax. 20 27 8.9. Directors and Officers. A list of the initial post-Effective Date directors and officers of NewAWA shall be filed by the Debtor with the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Confirmation Date. 8.10. Revesting of Assets; No Further Supervision. The assets of the Debtor and all property of the Debtor's estate (including without limitation, all rights of the Debtor to recover property under Sections 542, 543, 550 and 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, all Avoidance Litigation and all proceeds thereof) and any property acquired by AWA or NewAWA under or in connection with the Plan shall vest or revest in NewAWA, in each case free and clear of all Claims, liens, charges, encumbrances or Equity Interests, other than as specifically set forth in the Plan. The Plan does not contain any restrictions or prohibitions on the conduct of the business of NewAWA and NewAWA shall have all of the powers of a corporation under the Delaware General Corporation Law, consistent with its obligations under the Stockholders' Agreement. From and after the Effective Date, NewAWA may use, operate and deal with its assets, and may conduct and change its business, without any supervision by the Bankruptcy Court or the Office of the United States Trustee, and free of any restrictions imposed on the Debtor by the Bankruptcy Code or by the Bankruptcy Court during the Chapter 11 Case. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to prohibit, limit, restrict or condition the Debtor's authority in any lawful manner to sell or otherwise dispose of any other assets. 8.11. Implementation. The Debtor and AmWest shall be authorized and are directed to take all necessary steps, and perform all necessary acts, to consummate the terms and conditions of the Plan, including, without limitation, the Investment Agreement. 8.12. Cancellation of Securities. As of the Effective Date, all previously issued and outstanding securities of the Debtor, including without limitation: all AWA Common Stock, all AWA Preferred Stock, all AWA Warrants, Options and Other Equity Interests and all AWA Debentures; any certificate or other instrument evidencing any such security; except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 10.3 hereof, any indenture relating to any of the foregoing; and the Debtor's obligations thereunder shall be deemed void, cancelled, and of no further force or effect, without any further action on the part of any Person. Holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests represented by such securities shall have such rights to receive distributions as are set forth in the Plan. ARTICLE 9 CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE 9.1. Effectiveness of the Plan. The effectiveness of the Plan, and the occurrence of the Effective Date, shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent: (a) The Confirmation Order shall have been entered and no stay of the Confirmation Order shall be in effect; (b) Each of the conditions precedent to the obligations of AmWest under the Investment Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by AmWest and the purchase and sale of securities and the other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement shall have been simultaneously consummated; and (c) Each of the conditions precedent to the obligations of the Debtor under the Investment Agreement shall have been satisfied or waived by the Debtor and the purchase and sale of securities and other transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement shall have been simultaneously consummated. ARTICLE 10 PROVISIONS COVERING DISTRIBUTIONS AND PAYMENTS 10.1. Making of Distributions and Payments. NewAWA, or a Distribution Agent on its behalf, shall make the payments and distributions expressly required to be made by it in respect of the Post-Petition Agreement Claims, Allowed Administrative Claims (other than Preserved Ordinary Course Administrative 21 28 Claims), Allowed Priority Wage Claims, Allowed Priority Benefit Plan Contribution Claims, Allowed Priority Tax Claims, Allowed Convenience Claims and AWA Preferred Stock upon the latest of (i) the Effective Date, or as soon thereafter as practicable, (ii) such date as may be fixed by the Bankruptcy Court, or as soon thereafter as practicable, (iii) the fifth Business Day after such Claim is Allowed, or as soon thereafter as practicable, and (iv) such date as the holder of such Claim and NewAWA have agreed or shall agree. 10.2. Distributions by the Distribution Agent. 10.2.1. On the Effective Date, NewAWA will issue in the name of the Distribution Agent, as trustee, the Non-Electing Creditor Stock for distribution to Non-Electing Unsecured Creditors in accordance with Section 3.5, and the Electing Creditor Stock for distribution to Electing Unsecured Creditors in accordance with Section 3.5. Additionally, NewAWA will deliver to the Distribution Agent the Electing Creditor Cash for distribution to Electing Unsecured Creditors in accordance with Section 3.5. As promptly as practicable after the issuance of such NewAWA Securities and delivery of Electing Creditor Cash to the Distribution Agent, the Distribution Agent will distribute such securities and Cash to the holders of Allowed Claims entitled thereto in accordance with Section 3.5, but shall reserve from such distributions the Reserve Amount as required by Section 10.4. 10.2.2. Not later than thirty (30) days after the Voting Deadline, the Debtor shall allocate among the Purchasing Stockholders, the Equity Subscription Stock and the Over-Subscription Stock in accordance with this Section 10.2.2 and advise the Distribution Agent of such allocation. Each Purchasing Stockholder shall be allocated initially the lesser of (i) the number of shares for which it has made a valid purchase election on its Ballot and (ii) its Pro Rata Share of the Equity Subscription Stock determined as provided in Section 3.6.2(b). Holders who hold shares of AWA Common Stock for the account of others such as brokers, trustees or depositories may only exercise the right to purchase Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock upon receipt of instructions and appropriate payment or guarantee of payment from the beneficial owners of such shares as of the Voting Record Date. The shares of Equity Subscription Stock not allocated as above will be considered Over-Subscription Stock and will be allocated to other holders of AWA Common Stock who have indicated on the Ballot that they wish to acquire more than their Pro Rata Share of the Equity Subscription Stock. If sufficient shares of Over-Subscription Stock are available, all subscriptions therefor will be honored in full. If sufficient shares of Over-Subscription Stock are not available to honor all such subscriptions, the available shares of Over-Subscription Stock will be allocated among those who subscribed based on their proportional number of shares of AWA Common Stock, as of the Disclosure Statement Order Date. The allocation process may involve a series of allocations in order to assure that the total number of shares of Over-Subscription Stock is distributed on a Pro Rata Share basis. The right to purchase Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock may be exercised through a holder's broker, who may charge such holder a servicing fee in connection with such exercise. No such fees shall be paid by the Debtor or NewAWA. The Debtor shall establish the Stock Payment Escrow Account for the purpose of receiving payment for Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock, which shall be held by the Escrow Agent or another bank, trust company or other organization independent of AWA and designated by the Debtor and approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Purchasing Stockholders may choose one of the following methods of payment: (a) The Purchasing Stockholder may deliver full payment for the Equity Subscription Stock and the Over-Subscription Stock, together with its Ballot, with the check made payable to AWA Subscription Stock Escrow Account, by no later than the Voting Deadline. The Debtor shall deposit all such checks in the Stock Payment Escrow Account with any interest thereon to accrue to the benefit of Debtor or NewAWA pending distribution of the Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock; or (b) The Purchasing Stockholder may deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent, by no later than the Voting Deadline, a notice of guaranteed delivery by telegram or otherwise, from a bank or trust company or a New York Stock Exchange member firm, guaranteeing delivery of payment of the full price of the subscribed for Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock. In such case, full payment for the Equity Subscription Stock and the Over-Subscription Stock (as such amount may be 22 29 reduced as set forth below) must be received by the Escrow Agent by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Confirmation Date. Promptly after completing the allocation required by the first sentence of this Section 10.2.2, a confirmation will be sent to each Purchasing Stockholder showing the number of shares of Equity Subscription Stock and the number of shares, if any, of Over-Subscription Stock allocated to such holder. In the event that such number of shares of Over-Subscription Stock is less than the number of shares of Over-Subscription Stock for which such holder has either paid for or guaranteed payment for, such notice shall also state such fact and if full payment shall have already been made for such stock, such notice shall also include a check representing the excess payment. Whichever of the two above methods of payment is used, issuance and delivery of the Equity Subscription Stock, the Over-Subscription Stock and any refunds of payments therefor shall be subject to collection of checks and actual payment pursuant to any notice of guaranteed delivery. All offers to purchase Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock shall be irrevocable. In the event that the Effective Date has not occurred by the date the Interim Procedures Agreement is terminated, all amounts in the Stock Payment Escrow Account (other than interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to the Purchasing Stockholders who have made payment for the Equity Subscription Stock and/or Over-Subscription Stock. 10.2.3. On the Effective Date, NewAWA will issue in the name of the Distribution Agent, as trustee, (i) the number of shares of Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock to be issued to Purchasing Stockholders and holders of AWA Preferred Stock in accordance with Sections 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 10.2.2, and (ii) the Equity Interests Stock and the Equity Interests Warrants for distribution to holders of AWA Common Stock as provided in Section 3.6.2. As promptly as practicable after the Effective Date, but in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days, the Distribution Agent will distribute (i) to each holder of AWA Preferred Stock, the number of shares of Over-Subscription Stock purchased in accordance with Section 3.6.1, (ii) to each Purchasing Stockholder, the number of shares of Equity Subscription Stock and Over-Subscription Stock purchased by such Purchasing Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.6.2 and (iii) to each holder of AWA Common Stock as of the Distribution Record Date other than the holder of a Disputed Equity Interest, such holder's Pro Rata Share of the Equity Interests Stock and of the Equity Interests Warrants, less any Reserve Amount required pursuant to Section 10.4; provided, however, that holders of AWA Common Stock whose stock is held of record by Cede or by any other depository or nominee on their behalf or their broker-dealer's behalf will have their NewAWA Securities credited to the account of Cede or such other depository or nominee. 10.2.4. The Distribution Agent in its capacity as trustee holding issued but undistributed NewAWA Securities and Electing Creditor Cash shall (i) similarly hold in trust for distribution pursuant to this Section 10.2 any dividend or distribution made thereon, and (ii) whenever any matter (including election of directors) is presented for a vote by holders of such NewAWA Securities, vote all of the NewAWA Securities so held by it in trust in the same manner and proportion as the shares of NewAWA Class B Common Stock are voted. 10.2.5. If, after the Effective Date, NewAWA (i) pays a dividend or makes a distribution on the outstanding NewAWA Securities held by the Distribution Agent, (ii) subdivides the outstanding shares of NewAWA Securities held by the Distribution Agent into a greater number of shares or units, (iii) combines the outstanding shares or units of NewAWA Securities held by the Distribution Agent into a smaller number of shares or units, (iv) issues by reclassification of the outstanding NewAWA Securities held by the Distribution Agent any shares of its capital stock, or (v) is a party to a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets providing for any change in or exchange of the outstanding NewAWA Securities held by the Distribution Agent, then the Distribution Agent's obligation to distribute NewAWA Securities to any holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest arising after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and after the Effective Date of any of the other foregoing transactions shall be adjusted so as to take into account such dividend, distribution or other event. Any such distribution shall be made net of any Distribution Agent Charges incurred in connection with such event. 10.2.6. The duties of the Distribution Agent (including its duties as trustee pursuant to this Section 10.2) are expressly limited to the ministerial functions set forth in this Article 10. The Distribution 23 30 Agent shall incur no liability for its actions (or failure to act) or conduct as Distribution Agent, or as trustee holding issued but undistributed NewAWA Securities or Cash except to the extent attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Distribution Agent. The Distribution Agent shall at all times maintain a segregated account for any Cash being held in trust, and shall deposit or invest all such Cash in (a) direct obligations of the United States of America or obligations for which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged, (b) certificates of deposit and interest bearing deposits with banks having a long-term bond rating of AA or better and capital, surplus and undivided profits of not less than $100,000,000, (c) commercial paper having one of the two highest ratings by Standard & Poor's, Inc. or Moody's Investor Services, Inc., except as otherwise authorized by the Bankruptcy Court, or (d) reasonable shares of money market funds which invest in short-term United States government obligations; provided, however, that no such deposit or investment shall have a maturity of more than 90 days. All Distribution Agent Charges shall be deducted from the applicable NewAWA Securities or Cash held by the Distribution Agent. All Cash and NewAWA Securities held by or transferred to the Distribution Agent for distribution to holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan shall be held by the Distribution Agent (including NewAWA in its capacity as Distribution Agent) solely as trustee of an express trust and shall not be or constitute property of the Distribution Agent (including NewAWA as Distribution Agent) for any purpose whatsoever, and the Distribution Agent shall not have any right or interest to any such Cash or stock for its own account, except as expressly provided in the Plan. 10.2.7. AWA shall deliver to the Distribution Agent its stock ledger for the AWA Common Stock or provide access thereto, which ledger shall reflect the cancellation of certain AWA Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.7.1. The Distribution Agent shall cause a register for the transfer of Allowed Claims (other than Allowed AWA Debenture Claims) and of AWA Common Stock to be maintained. Transfers after the Distribution Record Date shall be registered only (i) upon Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court directing such transfer or (ii) in the event of a transfer by operation of law. 10.3. Service of Indenture Trustee. 10.3.1. Subject to the right of the Indenture Trustee to resign and terminate an Indenture as set forth in Section 10.3.2, the Indenture Trustee shall receive and act as disbursing agent for all distributions to each holder of record of an Allowed AWA Debenture Claim. Unless terminated pursuant to Section 10.3.2 below, the Indentures shall continue in effect after the Effective Date for the sole purpose of allowing the Indenture Trustee to make the distributions to be made on account of such Allowed AWA Debenture Claims under the Plan and for defending any subordination action brought under Section 3.5. AWA and NewAWA shall be required to reimburse the Indenture Trustee solely for fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable costs of counsel associated therewith) in connection with activities required under this Section 10.3.1. Any fees, costs, or expenses incurred by the Indenture Trustee for any other activities it may undertake shall be collectible solely from the holders of AWA Debentures. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Indenture Trustee shall retain any and all charging liens or similar rights provided in the Indentures for so long as it is Indenture Trustee. 10.3.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may at any time terminate any or all of the AWA Indentures and all of the Indenture Trustee's duties and obligations and authority to act thereunder, with or without cause, by giving fifteen (15) days written notice of termination to NewAWA and the Distribution Agent and by turning over to the Distribution Agent a list of record holders of Debentures under such Indenture as of the Distribution Record Date, together with such other information and documents as may be reasonably necessary in order to permit the Distribution Agent to make distributions to holders of Allowed AWA Debenture Claims arising out of the AWA Debentures issued pursuant to such Indenture. If distributions under the Plan have not been completed at the time of termination of such Indenture, the Distribution Agent shall thereafter act in place of such Indenture Trustee, and all references in the Plan to the Indenture Trustee for purposes of making distributions under the Plan with regard to such Indenture shall be deemed to apply to such Distribution Agent. Any actions taken by the Indenture Trustee not for a purpose authorized in the Plan shall be of no force or effect. 24 31 10.3.3. For purposes of any distributions under the Plan to holders of AWA Debenture Claims, the Indenture Trustee (or if the Indenture Trustee has resigned in accordance with Section 10.3.2, the Distribution Agent as its successor) shall be deemed to be the sole holder of all AWA Debenture Claims evidenced by the AWA Debentures issued under each Indenture. Accordingly, all distributions provided for in the Plan on account of Allowed AWA Debenture Claims shall be distributed to the Indenture Trustee as disbursing agent or, if the Indenture Trustee has resigned pursuant to Section 10.3.2, to the Distribution Agent as its successor, for further distribution to individual holders of Allowed AWA Debenture Claims pursuant to the Plan. The transfer books of the Indenture Trustee for the Debentures shall close as of the Distribution Record Date and no further transfers shall be recognized. 10.3.4. Any provision of the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no distribution under the Plan shall be required to be made by the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent to any holder of an AWA Debenture Claim until such time as the certificate representing the AWA Debenture in respect of which such AWA Debenture Claim is made shall have been surrendered in accordance with Section 10.3.5. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 10.3.4 to the contrary, any holder of an AWA Debenture Claim based on a certificate representing an AWA Debenture that has been lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed may, in lieu of surrendering such certificate as provided in this Section 10.3, deliver to the Indenture Trustee, or if the Indenture Trustee has resigned, to the Distribution Agent as its successor, (i) evidence satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent, as the case may be, of the loss, theft, mutilation or destruction of such certificate and (ii) such security or indemnity as may reasonably be required by the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent, as the case may be, to save the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent, as the case may be, harmless with respect thereto, and upon providing such evidence and such security or indemnity the holder of such AWA Debenture Claim shall, for all purposes under the Plan, be deemed to have surrendered such certificate. 10.3.5. A holder of record on the Distribution Record Date of a certificate relating to an AWA Debenture Claim shall surrender such holder's certificate representing such AWA Debenture Claim to the Indenture Trustee, or if the Indenture Trustee has resigned in accordance with Section 10.3.2, to the Distribution Agent as its successor, in accordance with written instructions given not more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date to such holder by the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent, as the case may be. Upon receipt of any certificate relating to such AWA Debenture Claim, the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent shall cancel such certificate and deliver such canceled certificate to such Person as the Distribution Agent shall designate. 10.3.6. On the Final Distribution Date, all rights under the Plan of any holder of an Allowed AWA Debenture Claim which has not surrendered its certificate representing such AWA Debenture Claim in accordance with this Section 10.3 shall lapse and be automatically terminated without any further action and the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent as its successor shall at such time return to the Distribution Agent any funds or property it then holds in respect of such unsurrendered certificate to be treated as unclaimed property pursuant to Section 10.6 and, upon such return, the Indenture Trustee or the Distribution Agent as its successor shall have no further obligation in respect of such funds or property. 10.4. Reserves for Distributions for Disputed Claims and Disputed Equity Interests. 10.4.1. Except as may be otherwise agreed with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest and as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, no distributions shall be made with respect to all or any portion of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest unless and until such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest (or portion thereof) shall have become an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest and such Allowed Claim or Equity Interest is otherwise entitled to distributions hereunder. 10.4.2. Prior to making any distribution to holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in Class 5 or Class 6.2 in accordance with Section 10.2, the Distribution Agent shall deposit in a Reserve established separately for each such Class an amount of NewAWA Securities and/or Cash equal to the amount of such distribution that would have been distributed to holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests in such Class if such Disputed Claims or Equity Interests were Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in their full face amount at the time of the calculation of such distribution. A separate Reserve shall be established and 25 32 thereafter maintained for each Class as to which any Claims or Equity Interests remain Disputed as of the Effective Date. The Distribution Agent shall at all times until any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest is resolved by Final Order, retain in the Reserve all amounts that would have been distributed to the holder of such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest had such Claim or Equity Interest been an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest in its full face amount on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon motion by the Debtor or NewAWA, the Bankruptcy Court may enter a Reserve Order, establishing a Reserve Amount to be escrowed in the Reserve for any Class which may be less than the amount otherwise required hereunder, which amount shall reflect the Bankruptcy Court's estimate of the level of Reserves for a particular Class reasonably required to protect the legitimate rights and interests of holders of Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests in such Class. In the event a Reserve Order is entered, the Distribution Agent shall deposit or retain in the Reserve with respect to any Class subject to such order only the Reserve Amount required by such Reserve Order. Any amount not so deposited or retained shall be distributed to all holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in the Class for which such Reserve Amount was established as provided for in the Plan. The date of each such distribution shall be a Distribution Date. 10.4.3. As soon as practicable after a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest, or portion thereof, becomes an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest, the Distribution Agent shall make a distribution to the holder of such Allowed Claim or Equity Interest from the Reserve in the amount of (i) the portion of the NewAWA Securities or Cash in the Reserve that should be distributed pursuant to the terms of the Plan in view of the amount of the Allowed Claim or Equity Interest; plus (ii) the proportional share of any interest, earnings or dividends actually earned and received on such Reserve; less (iii) the proportional share of any Distribution Agent Charges incurred on account of such escrowed assets. To the extent that sufficient New AWA Securities or Cash are not available to make the full distribution required by the preceding sentence, in view of the then-appearing rights of the holders of other Disputed Claims and Disputed Equity Interests, the Distribution Agent shall make such lesser distribution as shall then be ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. No holder of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest shall have any claim against the Reserve for the Class in which such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest is included until such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest shall become an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest. In no event shall any holder of any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest have any recourse against or be entitled to receive (under the Plan or otherwise) or recover from the Debtor, NewAWA, the Distribution Agent or any Reserve, any payment (in Cash, NewAWA Securities or other property) in the event that the Reserve therefor is insufficient to pay an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest in full. In no event shall the Distribution Agent, the Debtor or NewAWA have any responsibility or liability for any loss to or of any Reserve. 10.4.4. The Reserve for a Class shall be terminated when all Disputed Claims and Disputed Equity Interests are finally resolved in such Class. All remaining assets, if any, in the Reserve shall be distributed, first, to holders, if any, who received less than a proportionate distribution pursuant to order of the Bankruptcy Court under Section 10.4.3 and thereafter to all holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in the Class for which such Reserve was established, on a pro rata basis. The date of such distribution shall be the Final Distribution Date with regard to such Class. 10.5. Fractional Interests; Odd Lots; De Minimis Distributions. 10.5.1. Fractional shares or units of NewAWA Securities shall not be issued or distributed and no Cash payments shall be made in respect thereof. All holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in such Class which would otherwise be entitled to a fractional interest in such NewAWA Security shall be placed on a list in descending order according to the size of the fractional interest in the NewAWA Security to be distributed. For purposes of the preceding sentence, Electing Unsecured Creditors and Non-Electing Unsecured Creditors shall be placed on separate lists. In the event that two or more holders of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests are entitled to the same fractional portion (rounded to six decimal places) in such NewAWA Security, their relative ranking on any such list shall be determined by lot. The fractional shares or units which each such holder would have received will be aggregated. Then, one share or unit, as applicable, will be distributed to each of the holders on such list in descending order until the total amount of aggregated shares or units is exhausted. 26 33 10.5.2. In the event that any holder of an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest would receive fewer than ten (10) shares or units of NewAWA Securities in a distribution made under this Article 10, the Distribution Agent may instead sell such NewAWA Securities on behalf of any or all of such holders and they distribute to each such holder its pro rata share of the Net Proceeds of such sale. Such sale may be either a private sale or through a securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such NewAWA Securities are listed and absent manifest error or intentional wrongdoing on the part of the Distribution Agent in connection with such sale, the Net Proceeds realized from such sale shall be conclusively determined to be reasonable. The distribution of a pro rata share of such Net Proceeds to each such holder shall be deemed to be in full satisfaction of the payment to be made to such holder of Allowed Claims or Equity Interests in such distribution. These procedures are intended to result in the affected holders receiving appropriate distributions while saving expenses in the administration of the Debtor's estate that would be associated with maintaining such holders as stockholders of NewAWA. 10.6. Delivery of Distributions; Unclaimed Property. Distributions and deliveries to holders of (i) Allowed General Unsecured Claims shall be made at the addresses set forth on the proofs of claim filed by such holders (or at the last known addresses of such holders if no proof of claim is filed or if NewAWA has been notified of a change of address), (ii) AWA Debenture Claims shall be made at the address contained in the records of the Indenture Trustee (or, if the Indenture Trustee has resigned pursuant to Section 10.3.2 of the Plan, in such records it has delivered to the Distribution Agent as its successor) and (iii) Equity Interests shall be made to the address shown on the stock ledger of AWA. If any holder's distribution is returned as undeliverable, no further distributions to such holder shall be made unless and until the Distribution Agent, NewAWA or the Indenture Trustee is notified in writing of such holder's then-current address, at which time all missed distributions shall be made to such holder without interest (except to the extent that such missed distributions have become unclaimed property). Amounts in respect of undeliverable distributions made through the Distribution Agent or through the Indenture Trustee, shall be returned to NewAWA until such distributions are claimed. All claims for undeliverable distributions shall be made on or before the second (2nd) anniversary of the applicable Distribution Date, and after such date, such undeliverable distributions shall be unclaimed property. All unclaimed property attributable to any Claim or Equity Interest shall revert to the Reserve, if any, then existing with regard to Claims or Equity Interests of such Class and, if none exists, to NewAWA, and the Claim of any holder with respect to such property shall be discharged and forever barred and shall no longer be deemed an Allowed Claim or Equity Interest. 10.7. Method of Payment. Payments of Cash required to be made pursuant to the Plan shall be made by check drawn on a domestic bank or by wire transfer from a domestic bank at the election of the Person making such payment. 10.8. Payment Dates. Whenever any payment or distribution to be made under the Plan shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment or distribution shall instead be made, without interest, on the immediately following Business Day. 10.9. Compliance with Tax Requirements. In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Distribution Agent and the Indenture Trustee shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on it by any governmental unit, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. The Distribution Agent and Indenture Trustee shall be authorized to take any and all actions that may be necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, (i) each Person (including holders of Allowed Claims and Equity Interests) receiving a distribution of Cash or NewAWA Securities pursuant to the Plan shall have sole and exclusive responsibility for the satisfaction and payment of any tax obligations imposed by any governmental unit, including income, withholding and other tax obligations, on account of such distribution and (ii) at the option of NewAWA, no distribution pursuant to the Plan shall be made to or on behalf of such entity unless and until such entity has made arrangements satisfactory to NewAWA for the satisfaction and payment of such tax obligations. At the option of NewAWA, any Cash or NewAWA Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Plan shall, pending the implementation of such arrangements, be treated as an undeliverable distribution pursuant to Section 10.6 above. 27 34 ARTICLE 11 PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS OR EQUITY INTERESTS 11.1. Filing of Objections to Claims or Equity Interests. After the Effective Date, objections to Claims or Equity Interests shall be made and objections to Claims or Equity Interests made previous thereto shall be pursued only by NewAWA and, upon leave of the Bankruptcy Court for good cause shown, the Creditors' Committee (if it is then still in existence). Any objections made by NewAWA or the Creditors' Committee after the Effective Date shall be served and filed not later than 180 days after the Effective Date; provided, however, that such period may be extended by order of the Bankruptcy Court for good cause shown. 11.2. Settlement of Objections to Claims or Equity Interests After Effective Date. From and after the Effective Date, NewAWA may litigate to judgment, propose settlements of, or withdraw objections to, all pending or filed Disputed Claims or Disputed Equity Interests, and NewAWA may settle or compromise any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest, without notice and a hearing and without approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, notice of any settlement or compromise involving the allowance of a General Unsecured Claim in excess of $100,000 shall be provided to the Indenture Trustee (if the AWA Indentures have not been previously terminated) and to the Creditors' Committee (if still then in existence), who shall each have ten (10) days to object to such settlement or compromise and in such case, such settlement or compromise must be approved by the Bankruptcy Court. 11.3. Payment or Distribution to Holders of Disputed Claims or Equity Interests. Except as the Debtor or NewAWA, as applicable, may otherwise agree with respect to any Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest, no payments or distributions shall be made with respect to any portion of a Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest unless and until all objections to such Disputed Claim or Disputed Equity Interest have been settled or determined by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Setoffs. The Debtor and NewAWA may, but shall not be required to, set off or recoup against any Claim and the payments or other distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of such Claim, claims of any nature whatsoever which the Debtor or NewAWA may have against the holder of such Claim to the extent such Claim may be set off or recouped under applicable law, but neither the failure to do so nor the allowance of any Claim hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release by the Debtor or NewAWA, of any such claim that it may have against such holder. 12.6. Opt-Out. Pursuant to Section 203(b)(3) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, AWA elects, as of the Effective Date, that it will no longer be governed by the provisions of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law. 12.7.

The Corporation shall promptly issue and deliver the certificate or certificates evidencing the shares of Class B Common issuable upon conversion in accordance with the holder's instructions. Such conversion, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed to occur as of the close of business on the date on which the holder's notice of intent is received and the holder's shares of Class A Common are surrendered.

In the event of such a reorganization, reclassification, change of shares, consolidation, merger, sale, lease or other disposition, effective provision shall be made in the charter of the resulting or surviving corporation or otherwise for the protection of the conversion rights of the shares of Class A Common as nearly equivalent as practicable, into any such other shares of stock and other securities and property deliverable upon conversion of shares of Class B Common into which such Class A Common might have been converted immediately prior to such event. 8 4.1.4.3 The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Class B Common, solely for the purpose of issuance upon conversion of outstanding shares of Class A Common, such number of shares of Class B Common as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common.

Except as otherwise provided in that certain Stockholders' Agreement for America West Airlines, Inc., dated as of August 25, 19i94 for so long as it remains in force and effect (the "Stockholders' Agreement"), the Preferred Stock may be issued as a class, without series, or if so determined from time to time by the Board of Directors, either in whole or in part in one or more series, each series to be expressly designated by distinguishing number, letter or title prior to the issue of any shares thereof. The Preferred Stock, and each series thereof, may have such voting powers, full or limited, including the right to have more or less than one vote per share, or no voting powers, and such designations, preferences, dividend rights and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, as shall be stated and expressed in the resolutions of the Board of Directors providing for the issuance of such Preferred Stock (a "Preferred Stock Designation").

The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. The terms and provisions contained in the Securities shall constitute, and are hereby expressly made, a part of this Indenture and the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, expressly agree to such terms and provisions and agree to be bound thereby. SECTION 2.2 Execution and Authentication. One Officer of the Company shall sign each Security for the Company by manual or facsimile signature, which signature shall be attested to by another Officer of the Company (each of which Officers shall have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate actions).

Each Depository must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and any other applicable statute or regulation. SECTION 2.3 Certificate of Authentication.

SECTION 2.4 Payments of Interest. The Securities shall bear interest from the Closing Date, and such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.4, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. SECTION 2.5 Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company will keep at each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 4.2 a register or registers in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, it will provide for the registration of Securities and the registration of transfer of Securities. Such register shall be in written form in the English language or in any other form capable of being converted into such form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times such register or registers shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentation for registration of transfer of any Security at any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 4.2, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities. At the option of the Holder thereof, Securities (other than a Global Security, except as set forth below) may be exchanged for a Security or Securities having authorized denominations in an equal aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Company that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.2 and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the amounts hereinafter provided. All Securities presented for registration of transfer, exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee and duly executed by the Holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 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 exchange or registration of transfer of Securities. No service charge shall be made for any such transaction. The Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Securities for a period of 15 days next preceding the first mailing of notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed or (b) any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not so to be redeemed. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.5, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in non-global form, a Global Security 14 23 representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such successor Depository. If at any time the Depository for any Securities represented by one or more Global Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Securities or if at any time the Depository for such Securities shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.2, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository eligible under Section 2.2 with respect to such Securities. If a successor Depository eligible under Section 2.2 for such Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate of the Company for the authentication and delivery of Securities in non-global form, will authenticate and deliver Securities in non-global form in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities in non-global form, will authenticate and deliver, Securities in non-global form in exchange for such Global Security or Securities. Any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Security may upon request exchange such beneficial interest for Securities in non- global form. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written instructions (or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository) from the Depository or its nominee on behalf of any person having a beneficial interest in a Global Security and upon receipt by the Trustee of a written order or such other form of instructions as is customary for the Depository or the person designated by the Depository as having such a beneficial interest containing registration instructions, then the Trustee will cause, in accordance with the standing instructions and procedures existing between the Depository and the Trustee, the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security to be reduced and following such reduction, the Company will execute and upon receipt of an authentication order in the form of an Officers' Certificate, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities in non-global form. Securities in non-global form issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or an agent of the Company or the Trustee. The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Person in whose names such Securities are so registered. The Securities executed by the Company, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, upon any transfer or exchange contemplated by this Section 2.5 shall be dated the 15 24 date of their authentication, shall be in authorized denominations, shall be in like aggregate principal amount and have the same Stated Maturity date and interest rate as, and bear interest from the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) the most recent date to which interest has been paid on, the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange (or as the portion of any Global Security being exchanged for Securities in non-global form, as the case may be), and shall bear a number or other distinguishing symbol not appearing on any Security contemporaneously Outstanding. All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange. SECTION 2.6 Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated, defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Security dated the date of its authentication, of the same principal amount, Stated Maturity date and interest rate as, and bearing interest from the later of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) the most recent date to which interest has been paid on, the mutilated or defaced Security, or the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen, and bearing a number or other distinguishing symbol not appearing on any Security contemporaneously Outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security, or in lieu of or in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof and in the case of mutilation or defacement, shall surrender the Security to the Trustee or such agent. Upon the issuance of any substitute Security, 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 or its agent) connected therewith. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced Security), if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof. Every substitute Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.6 by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an 16 25 additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 2.7 Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. (a) All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company or any agent of the Trustee, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and, upon receipt thereof by the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it; and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities held by it and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company. If the Company or any agent of the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. (b) At such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been exchanged for Securities in non- global form, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, such Global Security shall be returned to and cancelled by the Trustee. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a Global Security is exchanged for Securities in non-global form, redeemed, repurchased or cancelled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global Security shall be reduced and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Security by the Trustee to reflect such reduction. SECTION 2.8 Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order signed by two Officers of the Company, shall authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for temporary Securities. Until such exchange, temporary Securities shall be entitled to the same rights, benefits and privileges as definitive Securities. SECTION 2.9 Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities.

The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP number. ARTICLE THREE - REDEMPTIONS SECTION 3.1 Notices to Trustee. If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.7 or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.8 it shall furnish to the Trustee, at least 10 but not more than 15 days before notice of any redemption is to be mailed to Holders (or such shorter time as may be satisfactory to the Trustee), an Officers Certificate stating that the Company has elected to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.7 or is required to redeem Securities pursuant to Section 3.8, as the case may be, the date notice of redemption is to be mailed to Holders, the Redemption Date, the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed, the Redemption Price for such Securities and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on such Securities as of the Redemption Date.

The Company will also provide the Trustee with any additional information that the Trustee reasonably requests in connection with any redemption. SECTION 3.2 Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If less than all outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the Company shall select the outstanding Securities to be redeemed or accepted for payment in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which the Securities are listed or, if the Securities are not listed on a securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by any other method that the Trustee deems fair and appropriate.

The Trustee shall select for redemption Securities or portions of Securities in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000; except that if all of the Securities of a Holder are selected for redemption, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities held by such Holder, even if not a multiple of $1,000, may be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption. 18 27 SECTION 3.3 Notice of Redemption. (a) At least 30 days but not more than 60 days before any Redemption Date, the Company shall mail by first class mail to each such Holder's registered address a notice of redemption to each Holder of Securities or portions thereof that are to be redeemed. With respect to any redemption of Securities, the notice shall identify the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed and shall state: (1) the Redemption Date; (2) the Redemption Price for the Securities and the amount of unpaid and accrued interest on such Securities as of the date of redemption; (3) if any Security is being redeemed in part, the portion of the principal amount of such Security to be redeemed and that, after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion will be delivered; (4) the name and address of the Paying Agent; (5) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Price for, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, such Securities; (6) that, unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date and the only remaining right of the Holders of such Securities is to receive payment of the Redemption Price upon surrender to the Paying Agent of the Securities redeemed; and (7) if fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the identification of the particular Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed, as well as the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be outstanding after such partial redemption. (b) At the Company's request, the Trustee shall (at the Company's expense) give the notice of any redemption to Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, at least 10 days prior to the date that notice of the redemption is to be mailed to Holders, an Officers' Certificate that (i) requests the Trustee to give notice of the redemption to Holders, (ii) sets forth the information to be provided to Holders in the notice of redemption, as set forth in the preceding paragraph, and (iii) sets forth the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest thereon as of the redemption date. If the Trustee is not the registrar for the Securities, the Company shall, concurrently with any such request, cause the registrar for the Securities to deliver to the Trustee a certificate (upon which the Trustee may rely) setting forth the name of, the address of, and the aggregate principal amount of Securities held by, each Holder; provided further that any such Officers' Certificate may be delivered to the Trustee on a date later than permitted under this Section 3.3(b) if such later date is acceptable to the Trustee. SECTION 3.4 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Upon surrender to the Trustee or the Paying Agent, the Securities called for redemption shall be paid at the Redemption Price. 19 28 SECTION 3.5 Deposit of Redemption Price. (a) On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed on that date. After any Redemption Date, the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money that the Company deposited with the Trustee or the Paying Agent in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the Redemption Price of, and accrued interest on, all Securities to be redeemed. (b) If the Company complies with the preceding paragraph, unless the Company defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price, interest on the Securities to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Securities on the applicable Redemption Date, whether or not such Securities are presented for payment. If a Security is redeemed on or after an interest record date but on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, then any accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest will be paid on the unpaid principal and interest from the redemption date until such principal and interest is paid, at the rate of interest provided in the Securities and Section 4.1. SECTION 3.6 Securities Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder at the Company's expense a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. SECTION 4.3 Appointment to Fill a Vacancy in Office of Trustee. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 8.9, a Trustee so that there shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities. SECTION 4.4 Paying Agents. Whenever the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.4, (a) that it will hold all sums received by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Securities (whether such sums have 22 31 been paid to it by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities or of the Trustee, (b) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor on the Securities) to make any payment of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities when the same shall be due and payable, and (c) that it will pay any such sums so held in trust by it to the Trustee upon the Trustee's written request, at any time during the continuance of the failure referred to in clause (b) above. The Company will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal, premium or interest so becoming due, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities a sum sufficient to pay such amount so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. Anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, but subject to Section 11.1, the Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to the Securities or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust with respect to the Securities by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder, as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. Anything in this Section 4.4 to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section 4.4 is subject to the provisions of Sections 11.3 and 11.4 hereof. SECTION 4.5 Reports and Information. (a) The Company will furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year an Officers' Certificate stating that (i) a review of the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made to determine whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled all of its obligations under this Indenture and the Securities, (ii) such review was supervised by the Officers of the Company signing such certificate, and (iii) that to the best knowledge of each Officer signing such certificate, (A) during such year the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of Default occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of 23 32 Default of which each such Officer may have knowledge and what action the Company has taken or proposes to take with respect thereto), and (B) no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on, the Securities are prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. The Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, promptly after any Officer of the Company becomes aware of (i) any Default or Event of Default, or (ii) any default or event of default under any issue of Indebtedness that could result in an Event of Default under Section 7.1, an Officers' Certificate specifying such Default, Event of Default or default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. (b) If the Company is subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall file with the Commission all quarterly and annual reports and such other information, documents or other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) required to be filed pursuant to such provisions of the Exchange Act. The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 5 days after it files the same with the Commission, copies of the quarterly and annual reports and such other information, documents, and reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may by rules and regulations prescribe) that it files with the Commission as contemplated by this Section 4.5(b). The Company shall also comply with the other provisions of Section 314(a) of the TIA. If the Company is not required to file the aforementioned reports, the Company (at its own expense) shall file with the Trustee and mail, or cause the Trustee to mail, to Holders at their addresses appearing in the register of Securities at the time of such mailing within 5 days after it would have been required to file such information with the Commission, all information and financial statements, including any notes thereto and with respect to annual reports, an auditors' report by an accounting firm of established national reputation, and a "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," comparable to the disclosure that the Company would have been required to include in annual and quarterly reports, information, documents or other reports, including, without limitation, reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, if the Company was subject to the requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. SECTION 4.6 Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Six, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each Subsidiary of the Company and the rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company and any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such corporate, partnership or other existence of any Subsidiary or any such right or franchise, if the Board of Directors of the Company shall determine in the exercise of its business judgment that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company or any Subsidiary and that abandonment of any such right or franchise shall have no material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or the Holders. 24 33 SECTION 4.7 Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company, or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount, applicability or validity of which is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which an adequate reserve has been established by the Company to the extent required by GAAP. SECTION 4.8 Maintenance of Properties. The Company shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business in good condition, repair and working order and supply such properties with all necessary equipment and make all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, 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 or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the good faith judgment of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, desirable in the conduct of its respective business and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. SECTION 4.9 Maintenance of Insurance. The Company will insure and keep insured, and will cause each Subsidiary to insure and keep insured, with reputable insurance companies, such of their respective properties, to such an extent and against such risks, and will maintain liability insurance, to the extent that property of a similar character is usually so insured by companies engaged in a similar business and owning similar properties in accordance with good business practice. SECTION 4.10 Compliance with Laws. The Company shall comply, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of the United States of America, all states and municipalities thereof, and of any governmental department, commission, board, regulatory authority, bureau, agency and instrumentality of the foregoing, in respect of the conduct of their respective businesses and the ownership of their respective properties, except such as are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and except for such noncompliance as would not in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. SECTION 4.11 Change of Control. (a) Upon a Change of Control, each Holder shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder's Securities at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, 25 34 to the date of purchase (subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date). (b) Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall mail a notice to each Holder stating: (i) that a Change of Control has occurred and that such Holder has the right to require the Company to purchase all or any part of such Holder's Securities at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the record Holders' right on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment Date); (ii) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding such Change of Control; (iii) the purchase date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed); and (iv) the instructions, consistent with this Section 4.11, that the Company determines that a Holder must follow to have its Securities repurchased. (c) Holders electing to have a Security purchased will be required to surrender the Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company at the address specified in the notice at least 10 Business Days prior to the purchase date. Holders will be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company receives not later than three Business Days prior to the purchase date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Security which was delivered for purchase by the Holder and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing his election to have such Security purchased. (d) On the purchase date, all Securities purchased by the Company under this Section shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation, together with an Officer's Certificate requesting such cancellation and stating that they are being delivered for cancellation in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.11 and that the Company shall pay the purchase price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the Holders entitled thereto. (e) The Company shall comply with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Securities pursuant to this Section 4.11. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.11, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.11 by virtue thereof. 26 35 (f) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to ascertain the occurrence of a Change of Control or to give notice with respect thereto other than as provided above, upon receipt of the written notice of Change of Control from the Company. The Trustee may conclusively assume, in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Company, that no Change of Control has occurred. SECTION 4.12 Limitation on Issuances and Dispositions of Capital Stock of Subsidiaries. Each Subsidiary of the Company shall at all times be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Company. The Company (i) shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, transfer, convey, sell, or otherwise dispose of any Capital Stock of a Subsidiary, or securities convertible or exchangeable into, or options, warrants, rights or any other interest with respect to, Capital Stock of a Subsidiary to any Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) and (ii) shall not permit any Subsidiary to issue shares of its Capital Stock (other than directors' qualifying shares), or securities convertible or exchangeable into, or options, warrants, rights or any other interest with respect to, its Capital Stock to any Person other than to the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary. SECTION 4.13 Limitation on Restricted Payments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4.13, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, (i) declare or pay any dividends on or make any distributions in respect of the Capital Stock of the Company (other than dividends or distributions payable solely in shares of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) or in options, warrants, or other rights to purchase Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock)) to holders of Capital Stock of the Company; (ii) purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire or retire for value (other than through the issuance solely of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) or options, warrants or other rights to purchase Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock)) any Capital Stock or warrants, rights (other than exchangeable or convertible Indebtedness of the Company not prohibited under clause (iii) below) or options to acquire Capital Stock of the Company; or (iii) redeem, repurchase, defease (including, but not limited to, in substance or legal defeasance), or otherwise acquire or retire for value (other than through the issuance solely of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) or warrants, rights or options to acquire Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock)) (collectively, a "prepayment"), directly or indirectly (including by way of amendment of the terms of any Indebtedness in connection with any retirement or acquisition of such Indebtedness), other than at any scheduled maturity thereof or by any scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or which matures after the 27 36 maturity date of the Securities (except out of the proceeds of Refinancing Indebtedness); if, at the time of such transaction described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) (such transactions being hereinafter collectively referred to as "Restricted Payments") or after giving effect thereto, either (x) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (y) the aggregate amount expended by the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Restricted Payments (the amount of any Restricted Payment if other than cash to be the fair market value of the property included in such payment as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors as evidenced by a Board Resolution) from and after the Closing Date shall exceed the sum of (A) 50% (or, if the Securities at the time of the proposed Restricted Payment are rated Investment Grade by both S&P and Moody's, 75%) of the aggregate Adjusted Consolidated Net Income (or if such Adjusted Consolidated Net Income is a loss, minus 100% of such loss) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period from the first day of the first quarter ended subsequent to the Closing Date and through the last day of the most recently completed quarter immediately preceding the quarter in which the Restricted Payment occurs, calculated on a cumulative basis as if such period were a single accounting period; (B) the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company after the Closing Date (including the fair market value of non-cash proceeds as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors as evidenced by a Board Resolution) from any Person other than a Subsidiary, as a result of the issuance of (or contribution to capital on) Capital Stock of the Company (other than any Redeemable Stock) or warrants, rights or options to acquire Capital Stock (other than any Redeemable Stock); (C) the aggregate net proceeds received by the Company after the Closing Date from any Person other than a Subsidiary as a result of the issuance of Capital Stock (other than Redeemable Stock) upon conversion or exchange of Indebtedness or upon exercise of options, warrants or other rights to acquire such Capital Stock and (D) $25,000,000. For purposes of any calculation that is required to be made in respect of, or after, the declaration of a dividend by the Company, such dividend shall be deemed to be paid at the date of declaration and shall be included in determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments. For the purposes of this Section 4.13, the net proceeds from the issuance of shares of Capital Stock of the Company upon conversion of debt securities shall be deemed to be an amount equal to the net book value of such debt securities (plus the additional amount required to be paid upon such conversion, if any), less any cash payment on account of fractional shares; the "net book value" of a security shall be the net amount received by the Company on the issuance of such security, as adjusted on the books of the Company to the date of conversion. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing at the time or as a result thereof, the provisions of this Section 4.13 shall not prohibit (i) the payment of any dividend in respect of the Company's Capital Stock within 60 days after the date of declaration thereof, if at such date of declaration such payment complied with the provisions hereof; (ii) the purchase, redemption or other acquisition or retirement for value of any shares of the Company's Capital Stock or the 28 37 prepayment of any indebtedness of the Company which is subordinated in right of payment to the Securities or which matures after the maturity date of the Securities by any exchange for, or out of and to the extent the Company has received cash proceeds from the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary) of, shares of Capital Stock (other than any Redeemable Stock) of the Company or warrants, rights or options to acquire Capital Stock (other than any Redeemable Stock); or (iii) the purchase or redemption of shares of Capital Stock of the Company (including options on any such shares or related stock appreciation rights or similar securities) held by officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries (or their estates or beneficiaries under their estates) upon death, disability, retirement, termination of employment of any such Person pursuant to the terms of any Plan or any other agreement under which such shares of stock or related rights were issued; provided that the aggregate amount of such purchases or redemptions of such Capital Stock shall not exceed $3,000,000 in any one fiscal year of the Company. For purposes of determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments permitted under clause (y) of Section 4.13(a), all amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i) (to the extent deemed to have been paid and already included in determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (y) of Section 4.13(a)), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph shall be excluded. Prior to making any Restricted Payment under this Section, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the computation by which the amount available for Restricted Payments was determined. The Trustee shall have no duty or responsibility to determine the accuracy or correctness of this computation or that the provisions of this Section have been satisfied and shall be fully protected in relying on such Officers' Certificate. SECTION 4.14 Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates. (a) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary of the Company shall, directly or indirectly (i) sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets, or issue securities to, (ii) purchase any property, assets or securities from, (iii) make any Investment in, or (iv) enter into or suffer to exist any contract or agreement with or for the benefit of, an Affiliate or holder of 5% or more of any class of Capital Stock (and any Affiliate of such holder) of the Company (an "Affiliate Transaction"), other than (x) Affiliate Transactions permitted under Section 4.14(b) and (y) Affiliate Transactions (including lease transactions) which are on fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those as might reasonably have been obtainable at such time from an unaffiliated party; provided that if an Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involves or has a value in excess of $10,000,000, the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall not enter into such Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions unless a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company or such Subsidiary shall reasonably and in good faith determine that such Affiliate Transaction is fair to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, or is on terms no less favorable to the Company or such 29 38 Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those as might reasonably have been obtainable at such time from an unaffiliated party. (b) The provisions of Section 4.14(a) shall not apply to (i) any agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date, or any amendment thereto so long as any such amendment is not disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant to any amendment thereto); (ii) any transaction between the Company and any Wholly Owned Subsidiary or between Wholly Owned Subsidiaries, provided such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Indenture; (iii) reasonable and customary fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors, employees or consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary, as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or any Subsidiary or the senior management thereof in good faith; (iv) any Restricted Payments not prohibited by Section 4.13; (v) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax sharing agreement between the Company and any other Person with which the Company is required or permitted to file a consolidated tax return or with which the Company is or could be part of a consolidated group for tax purposes; and (vi) transactions with Continental Airlines, Inc., Mesa Airlines, Inc. and their respective Affiliates as contemplated by the Alliance Agreements. SECTION 4.15 Limitation on Asset Sales. Subject to the following paragraphs of this Section, in the event and to the extent that on any date after the Closing Date the Company and its Subsidiaries shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from one or more Asset Sales (other than Asset Sales by the Company or any Subsidiary to the Company or another Subsidiary), then the Company shall, or shall cause such Subsidiary to, within 12 months after such date apply an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds (A) to repay Indebtedness of the Company or Indebtedness of any Subsidiary, in each case owing to a Person other than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and/or (B) as an Investment (or enter into a definitive agreement committing to so invest within 12 months after the date of such agreement), in property or assets of a nature or type or that are used in a business (or in a Person having property and assets of a nature or type, or engaged in a business) similar or related to the nature or type of the property and assets of, or the business of, the Company and its Subsidiaries existing on the date thereof (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, whose determination shall be conclusive and evidenced by a Board Resolution). The amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied (or to be committed to be applied) during such 12-month period as set forth in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding sentence shall constitute "Excess Proceeds." If on the first Business Day following any 12-month period referred to in the preceding paragraph, the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds from all Asset Sales, not previously applied as provided in clause (A) or (B) of the preceding paragraph, exceeds $15,000,000, the Company, within 10 Business Days after the end of such 12-month period, make an offer to purchase on a pro rata basis from all Holders (an "Excess Proceeds Offer"), and shall purchase from Holders accepting such Excess Proceeds Offer, the maximum principal amount (expressed as an integral multiple of $1,000) of Securities that may be 30 39 purchased from funds in an amount equal to all such outstanding Excess Proceeds at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Securities so purchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon (if any) to the date of purchase ("Excess Proceeds Payment"). Upon completion of an Excess Proceeds Offer (or upon termination of such offer if no repurchases are required), the amount of such Excess Proceeds relating thereto shall be equal to zero. The Company shall commence an Excess Proceeds Offer by causing the Trustee to mail a notice to each Holder stating: (i) that the Excess Proceeds Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 4.15 and that all Securities validly tendered will be accepted for purchase; provided, however, that if the aggregate purchase price of Securities tendered in an Excess Proceeds Offer (including accrued interest to the date of purchase) exceeds the aggregate amount of the Excess Proceeds required to be applied in such Excess Proceeds Offer, the Company shall select the Securities to be purchased on a pro rata basis (with such adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by the Company so that only Securities in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof shall be purchased); (ii) the purchase price (including the amount of accrued interest) and the purchase date (which shall be a Business Day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) (the "Excess Proceeds Purchase Date"); (iii) that any Security not tendered will continue to accrue interest pursuant to its terms; (iv) that, unless the Company defaults in the purchase of such Security on the Excess Proceeds Purchase Date, any Security accepted for purchase pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer shall cease to accrue interest after the Excess Proceeds Purchase Date; (v) that Holders electing to have a Security purchased pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer will be required to surrender the Security, together with the form entitled "Option of the Holder to Elect Purchase" on the reverse side of the Security completed, to the Paying Agent at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Purchase Date; (vi) that each Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election (in whole but not in part) if the Paying Agent receives, not later than the close of business on the third Business Day immediately preceding the Excess Proceeds Purchase Date, a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of such Holder, the principal amount of Securities delivered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have such Securities purchased; and (vii) that Holders whose Securities are being purchased only in part will be issued new Securities equal in aggregate principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Securities surrendered. On the Excess Proceeds Purchase Date, the Company shall: (i) accept for purchase on a pro rata basis Securities or portions thereof tendered pursuant to the Excess Proceeds Offer; (ii) deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the purchase price of all Securities or portions thereof so accepted; and (iii) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee all Securities or portions thereof so accepted together with an Officers' Certificate specifying the Securities or portions thereof accepted for purchase by the Company. The Paying Agent shall promptly mail to the Holders of Securities so accepted payment in an amount equal to the purchase price, and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall promptly authenticate and mail to each such Holder a new Security equal in principal amount 31 40 to any unpurchased portion of the Security surrendered; provided that each Security purchased and each new Security delivered shall be in a principal amount of $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Excess Proceeds Offer as soon as practicable after the Excess Proceeds Purchase Date. For purposes of this Section 4.15, the Trustee shall act as the Paying Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) to the extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Asset Sale are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States of America, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not be required to be applied pursuant to this Section 4.14 but may be retained for so long, but only for so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States of America (the Company hereby agrees to promptly take all reasonable actions required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation) and once such repatriation of any such affected Net Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be applied in the manner set forth in this Section 4.15 as if such Asset Sale had occurred on the date of repatriation; and (ii) to the extent that the Board of Directors of the Company has determined in good faith that repatriation of any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds would have an adverse tax consequence to the Company, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained outside the United States of America for so long as such adverse tax consequences would continue. The Company will comply with Rule 14e-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws and regulations are applicable, in the event that such Excess Proceeds are received by the Company as contemplated by this Section 4.15 and the Company is required to repurchase Securities as described above. SECTION 4.16 Limitation on Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Payment Restriction or consensual encumbrance with respect to any Subsidiary thereof to (a) pay dividends or make any other distributions on such Subsidiary's Capital Stock; (b) make any loans or advances to the Company or any other Subsidiary; or (c) transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary except (i) restrictions imposed by applicable law; (ii) any restrictions existing under this Indenture; and (iii) encumbrances or restrictions contained in any agreement or instrument (A) relating to any property acquired or leased by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, provided that such encumbrance or restriction relates only to the property which is acquired or leased; (B) relating to any Indebtedness of any Subsidiary at the date of acquisition of such Subsidiary by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, provided that such Indebtedness was not incurred in connection with, or in 32 41 contemplation of, such acquisition (the Company being entitled to rely upon a certificate of such Subsidiary as to whether such Indebtedness was incurred in contemplation thereof); (C) arising pursuant to an agreement effecting a refinancing of Indebtedness issued pursuant to an agreement referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), so long as the encumbrances and restrictions contained in any such refinancing agreement are no more restrictive than the encumbrances and restrictions contained in such agreements; (D) which constitute customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of any lease of the Company or any Subsidiary or provisions in agreements that restrict the assignment of such agreement or any rights thereunder; and (E) which constitute restrictions on the sale or other disposition of any property securing Indebtedness as a result of a lien on such property. SECTION 4.17 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]. SECTION 4.18 Limitation on Investments. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to make any Investment other than (i) Investments consisting of non-cash proceeds from Asset Sales as contemplated by Section 4.15 of this Indenture; (ii) Investments consisting of Cash Equivalents; (iii) accounts receivable if credited or acquired in the ordinary course of business and payable or dischargeable in accordance with customary trade terms; (iv) payroll advances and advances for business and travel expenses in the ordinary course of business; (v) Investments by the Company in its Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business; (vi) Investments by any Subsidiary of the Company in the Company or in any Subsidiary; (vii) Investments by the Company for the purpose of acquiring businesses reasonably related to the business of the Company, in an aggregate amount not exceeding $5,000,000 in any fiscal year of the Company; (viii) Investments made by way of any endorsement of negotiable instruments received by the Company or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of its business and presented by it to any bank for collection or deposit; (ix) stock, obligations or securities received in settlement of debts created in the ordinary course of business owing to the company or any Subsidiary; (x) Investments by the Company in any Subsidiary for the purpose of receivables financing; and (xi) in addition to any other permitted investments, any other Investments by the Company in an aggregate amount not exceeding $1,000,000 at any time. SECTION 4.19 Waiver of Stay, Extension or Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) the Company hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. 33 42 ARTICLE FIVE - SECURITYHOLDERS LISTS AND REPORTS BY COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE SECTION 5.1 The Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Securityholders. If and so long as the Trustee shall not be the Security registrar for the Securities, the Company covenants and agrees that it will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Securities pursuant to Section 312 of the TIA: (a) semiannually and not more than 15 days after each record date for the payment of interest on such Securities, as hereinabove specified and as of such record date, and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such request as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such information is furnished. SECTION 5.2 Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Securityholders. Each and every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with Section 312 of the TIA, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 312(b) of the TIA. SECTION 5.3 Reports by the Trustee. Any Trustee's report required under Section 313(m) of the TIA shall be transmitted on or before May 15 in each year beginning May 15, 1995, as provided in Section 313(c) of the TIA, so long as any Securities are outstanding hereunder, and shall be dated as of a date convenient to the Trustee no more than 60 days prior thereto. ARTICLE SIX - CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE OR TRANSFER SECTION 6.1 Merger or Consolidation. The Company shall not consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or convey, lease or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless: (a) the corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance, lease or transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, the Company's 34 43 obligation for the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on all the Securities according to their tenor and the performance of every covenant of this Indenture on the part of the Company to be performed or observed; (b) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and (c) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance, lease or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Article and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with. This Section shall only apply to a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the surviving corporation and to conveyances, leases, and transfers by the Company, as transferee or lessor. SECTION 6.2 Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger by the Company with or into any other corporation, or any conveyance or transfer by the Company of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, in accordance with Section 6.1, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor corporation had been named as the Company and in the event of any such conveyance or transfer, the Company, except in the event of a conveyance by way of lease, shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may be dissolved and liquidated. Such successor corporation may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder that theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities that such successor corporation thereafter shall, cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, such changes in phrasing and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities that may be endorsed thereon, as the case may be, thereafter to be delivered as may be appropriate. 35 44 ARTICLE SEVEN - REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT SECTION 7.1 Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. "Event of Default", with respect to the Securities, means any one of the following events that shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body): (a) default in the payment of the principal of or premium (if any) on any Security when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon acceleration, redemption or otherwise; (b) default in the payment of interest on any Security when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of 30 days; (c) the Company defaults in the performance of or breaches any other covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or under the Securities and such default or breach continues for a period of 30 consecutive days after the date on which written notice specifying such failure, stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" under the Indenture and demanding that the Company remedy the same, shall have been given by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of 25% or more in aggregate principal amount of the Securities Outstanding; (d) there occurs with respect to any issue or issues of Indebtedness of the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries having an outstanding principal amount of $10 million or more in the aggregate for all such issues of all such Persons, whether such Indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, an event of default that has caused the holder thereof to declare such Indebtedness to be due and payable prior to its Stated Maturity and such Indebtedness has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled within 30 days of such acceleration; (e) any final judgment or order (not covered by insurance) for the payment of money in excess of $10 million in the aggregate for all such final judgments or orders against all such Persons (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention as not so covered) shall be rendered against the Company or any Subsidiary and shall not be discharged, and there shall be any period of 60 consecutive days following entry of the final judgment or order that causes the aggregate amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding against all such Persons to exceed $10 million during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect; 36 45 (f) a court having jurisdiction in the premises enters a decree or order for (i) relief in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, (ii) appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or (iii) the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Company or any Material Subsidiary and, in each case, such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; (g) the Company or any Material Subsidiary (i) commences a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consents to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, (ii) consents to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator or similar official of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or for all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or (iii) effects any general assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company or any Material Subsidiary; (h) the Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries fail to make at the final (but not any interim) fixed maturity of one or more issues of Indebtedness a principal payment or principal payments aggregating more than $10 million and all such defaulted payments shall not have been made, waived or extended within 30 days of the payment default that caused the aggregate amount of such defaulted payments to exceed $10 million; or (i) any of the Applicable Documents shall cease, for any reason, to be in full force and effect in any material respect, except as a result of an amendment, waiver or termination thereof as contemplated or permitted therein. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above that occurs with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company (and to the Trustee if such notice is given by the Holders (the "Acceleration Notice")), may, and the Trustee at the request of the Holders shall, declare the entire unpaid principal, premium (if any) and accrued interest on the Securities to be immediately due and payable as specified below. Upon a declaration of acceleration, such principal, premium (if any) and accrued interest shall be immediately due and payable. In the event of a declaration of acceleration because an Event of Default set forth in clause (d) above has occurred and is continuing, such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled if the event of default triggering such Event of Default shall be remedied, cured by the Company or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 30 days after the occurrence of the Event of Default with respect thereto and the Company has delivered an Officer's Certificate as to such effect. If an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) above occurs with respect to the Company, all unpaid principal 37 46 of, premium (if any) and accrued interest on the Securities then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may waive all past defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if (i) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (ii) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default pursuant to this Section 7.1 with respect to Securities all or part of which are represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in such Notice of Default, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or their proxies, shall have joined in such Notice of Default prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such Notice of Default shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new Notice of Default identical to a Notice of Default which has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Acceleration Notice or any rescission and annulment thereof, with respect to Securities all or part of which are represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice which has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.1. 38 47 SECTION 7.2 Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. The Company covenants that (a) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities when such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or (b) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities or upon any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable an all Securities for principal or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities); and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. Until such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and interest on the Securities to the registered Holders, whether or not the Securities are overdue. In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities, wherever situated the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable. In case there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee will have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise: (a) to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the 39 48 Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee, except as a result of negligence or bad faith) and of the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor upon the Securities, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, (b) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on behalf of the Holders of the Securities in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing similar functions in comparable proceedings, and (c) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Securityholders to make payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person. All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered. In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such 40 49 action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings. SECTION 7.3 Application of Proceeds. Any monies collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Seven in respect of the Securities shall be applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in the case of the distribution of such monies on account of principal or interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which monies have been collected and stamping (or otherwise noting) thereon the payment, or issuing Securities in reduced principal amounts in exchange for the presented Securities if only partially paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid: FIRST: To the payment of amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 8.6; SECOND: In case the principal of the Securities shall not have become and be then due and payable, to the payment of interest on the Securities in default in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon the overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference; THIRD: In case the principal of the Securities shall have become and shall be then due and payable, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon all the Securities for principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon the Securities, then to the payment of such principal and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security over any other Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest; and FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other person lawfully entitled thereto. SECTION 7.4 Suits for Enforcement. In case an Event of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. 41 50 SECTION 7.5 Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 7.6 Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. A Holder of Securities may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless; (i) such Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default; (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any costs, liability or expense; (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and (v) during such 60-day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities do not give the Trustee a direction that is inconsistent with the request. For purposes of this Section 7.6, the Trustee shall comply with Section 316(a) of the TIA in making any determination of whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities have concurred in any request or direction of the Trustee to pursue any remedy available to the Trustee or the Holders with respect to this Indenture or the Securities or otherwise under the law. A Holder of Securities may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over such other Holder. SECTION 7.7 Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on such Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. SECTION 7.8 Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Section 7.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to 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. 42 51 No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to Section 7.6, every power and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. SECTION 7.9 Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall 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 with respect to the Securities by this Indenture; provided, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture; and provided, further, that (subject to the provisions of Section 8.1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearance specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of Holders not joining in the giving of said direction. It being understood that (subject to Section 8.1) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are unduly prejudicial to such Holders. Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and that is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by the Holders. Upon receipt by the Trustee of any written notice directing the time, method or place of conducting any such proceeding or exercising any such trust or power, with respect to Securities all or part of which are represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such notice shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new notice identical to a notice which has been cancelled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.9. 43 52 SECTION 7.10 Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.7, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Event of Default and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of or interest on any Security as specified in clause (a) or (b) of Section 7.1. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to waive any default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have waived such default prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default at Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 7.11 Trustees to Give Notice of Default, But May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a Default with respect to the Securities, give notice of all Defaults known to the Trustee to all Holders of Securities in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c) of the TIA, unless in each case such Defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice; provided, however, that, except in the case of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, or any combination of the foregoing, in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders. SECTION 7.12 Right of Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merit and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders holding in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment 44 53 of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security or any date fixed for redemption. ARTICLE EIGHT - CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE SECTION 8.1 Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee; During Default; Prior to Default. With respect to the Holders of the Securities issued hereunder, the Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred, has undertaken to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities has occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to such Securities such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own wilful misconduct, except that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to such Securities that may have occurred: (i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to the Securities shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any statements, certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such statements, certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and 45 54 (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders pursuant to Section 7.9 relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section. The provisions of this Section 8.1 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 315 of the TIA. SECTION 8.2 Certain Rights of the Trustee. In furtherance of and subject to the TIA, and subject to Section 8.1: (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officers' Certificate of the Company (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written advice or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that might be incurred therein or thereby; 46 55 (e) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion, rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; and (f) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security, or other paper or document unless requested in writing to so do by the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding; provided, however, that, if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses, or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding; the reasonable expenses of every such investigation shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand. SECTION 8.3 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, Disposition of Securities or Application of Proceeds Thereof. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company's covenants in Article Four hereof. In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default, except (i) any Default or Event of Default occurring pursuant to Section 7.1(a), 7.1(b) or 4.1, or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual knowledge. SECTION 8.4 Trustee and Agents May Hold Securities; Collections, etc. The Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent and may otherwise deal with the Company and receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee or such agent. SECTION 8.5 Monies Held by Trustee. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.4 hereof, all monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law. Neither the 47 56 Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any monies received by it hereunder. SECTION 8.6 Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and the Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred, without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or the trusts hereunder and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness of the Company hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. Such additional indebtedness shall be a senior claim to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities, and the Securities are hereby subordinated to such senior claim. SECTION 8.7 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers' Certificate, etc. Subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.2, whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate of the Company delivered to the Trustee, and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 8.8 Persons Eligible for Appointment as Trustee. The Trustee shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as Trustee by the Commission pursuant to the TIA, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority. Such corporation shall have an address or agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the presentment of Securities. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the 48 57 requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 8.9. The provisions of this Section 8.8 are in furtherance of and subject to Section 310(a) of the TIA. SECTION 8.9 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Company and by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then Outstanding Securities at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees by written instrument in duplicate, executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee or trustees. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 8.12, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect to the Securities after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.8 and Section 310(a) of the TIA and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder; or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver or liquidator of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation; 49 58 then, in any such case, unless the Trustee's duty to resign has been stayed as provided pursuant to Section 310(b) of the TIA, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 315(e) of the TIA, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by delivering to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed, and to the Company the evidence provided for in Section 9.1 of the action in that regard taken by the Securityholders. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 8.9 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 8.10. SECTION 8.10 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 8.9 shall execute and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee hereunder; but nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, subject to Section 11.4, pay over to the successor trustee all monies at the time held by it hereunder and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.6. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided to this Section 8.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the TIA and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.8. 50 59 Upon acceptance of appointment by any successor trustee as provided in this Section 8.10, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holders of Securities, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the registry books. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 8.9. If the Company fails to give such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company. SECTION 8.11 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business of Trustee. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder; provided, however, that such corporation shall be qualified under Section 310(b) of the TIA and eligible under the provisions of Section 8.8, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trust created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force that it has anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation. SECTION 8.12 Preferential Collection of Claims Against the Company. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the TIA. Any Trustee that has resigned or been removed is subject to Section 311(s) of the TIA to the extent indicated therein. SECTION 8.13 Appointment of Authenticating Agent. As long as any Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may, by an instrument in writing, appoint an authenticating agent (the "Authenticating Agent") that shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities, including Securities issued upon exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption or pursuant to Section 2.5. Securities authenticated by such Authenticating Agent shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or to the Trustee's Certificate of Authentication (including, without limitation, in Section 2.3), such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by 51 60 an Authenticating Agent and a Certificate of Authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by such Authenticating Agent. Such Authenticating Agent shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000 (determined as provided in Section 8.8 with respect to the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be the Authenticating Agent with respect to all Securities for which it served as Authenticating Agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent. Any Authenticating Agent may at any time, and if it shall cease to be eligible shall, resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.13, the Trustee shall upon receipt of an Company Order appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and the Company shall provide notice of such appointment to all Holders in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 12.4. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Authenticating Agent. The Company agrees to pay to the Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation. The Authenticating Agent for the Securities shall have no responsibility or liability for any action taken by it as such at the direction of the Trustee. Sections 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.6, 8.8 and 9.3 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent as if each reference to "Trustee" therein referred to the Authenticating Agent. ARTICLE NINE - CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS SECTION 9.1 Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders. Any request demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders 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. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for 52 61 any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.2) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Article Nine. SECTION 9.2 Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities. Subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in the following manner: (a) The fact and date of the execution by any Holder of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. (b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security register or by a certificate of the Security registrar. The Company may set a record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action referred to in Section 9.1, which record date may be set at any time or from time to time by notice to the Trustee, for any date or dates (in the case of any adjournment or reconsideration not more than 60 days nor less than five days prior to the proposed date of such vote or consent, and thereafter, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, only Holders of Securities of record on such record date shall be entitled to so vote or give such consent or revoke such vote or comment. SECTION 9.3 Holders to be Treated as Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security register as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium (if any) and interest on such Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Company or the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 9.4 Securities Owned by the Company Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made or by any Affiliate of the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to which such determination is being made shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so 53 62 disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities. In case of a dispute as to such right, the advice of counsel shall be full protection in respect of any decision made by the Trustee in accordance with such advice. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officer's Certificate listing and identifying all Securities, if any, known by the Company, to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described persons; and, subject to Sections 8.1 and 8.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officer's Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Securities not listed therein are Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. SECTION 9.5 Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 9.1, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in this Article Nine, revoke such action so far as it concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Securities issued in exchange of substitution therefor or on registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities affected by such action. ARTICLE TEN - AMENDMENTS SECTION 10.1 Amendments and Supplements Permitted Without Consent of Holders. (a) Notwithstanding Section 10.2, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without the consent of any Holder to: (i) cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture; provided that such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of the Holders; (ii) provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities; (iii) evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company and provide for the assumption by such successor 54 63 of the Company's obligations to the Holders hereunder and under the Notes as permitted under Article Six; (iv) make any change that would (1) provide any additional rights or benefits to Holders or (2) not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any Holder, or (v) comply with the requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA. (b) Upon the Company's request, after receipt by the Trustee of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture, and the documents described in Section 10.6, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be contained in any such amended or supplemental indenture, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into an amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. SECTION 10.2 Amendments and Supplements Requiring Consent of Holders. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.1(a) and 10.2(c), this Indenture and the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities), and any existing Default or Event of Default or non-compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Securities may be waived with the consent of Holders of at least a majority in principal of the then outstanding Securities (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities). (b) Upon the Company's request and after receipt by the Trustee of a resolution of the Board of Directors authorizing the execution of any supplemental indenture, evidence of the Holders' consent, and the documents described in Section 10.6, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental indenture. (c) Without the consent of each Holder affected, no amendment, supplement or waiver to this Indenture shall: (i) reduce the principal amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver of any provision of this Indenture on the Securities, (ii) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Security, or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Securities in a manner adverse to the Holders, (iii) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Security, (iv) waive a Default or 55 64 Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, the Securities (except that Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may (1) rescind an acceleration of the Securities that resulted from a non-payment default, and (2) waive the payment default that resulted from such acceleration), (v) make any Security payable in money other than U.S. Legal Tender, (vi) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of, or premium (if any) or interest on, the Securities, (vii) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security, or (ix) make any change in Section 7.7, Section 7.10 or this sentence. (d) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. (e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 10.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 10.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to each Holder affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. SECTION 10.3 Compliance with TIA. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall be set forth in an amended supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. SECTION 10.4 Revocation and Effect of Consents. (a) Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same Indebtedness as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date on which the Trustee receives an Officers' Certificate certifying that the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities 56 65 have consented (and not theretofore revoked such consent) to the amendment or waiver. (b) The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the holders of Securities entitled to consent to any amendment or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons who were holders of Securities at such record date (or their duly designated proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such amendment or waiver or to revoke any consent previously given, whether or not such Persons continue to be holders of Securities after such record date. No consent shall be valid or effective for more than 90 days after such record date. (c) After an amendment or waiver becomes effective it shall bind every Holder, unless it is of the type described in Section 10.2(c), in which case the amendment or waiver shall only bind each Holder that consented to it and every subsequent holder of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security. SECTION 10.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Security thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Securities may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate new Securities that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Security shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. SECTION 10.6 Trustee Protected. The Trustee shall sign any amendment or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article Ten if the amendment does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may, but need not, sign it. In signing such amendment or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and, subject to Section 8.1, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that such amendment or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture, that it is not inconsistent herewith, and that it will be valid and binding upon the Company in accordance with its terms. The Company may not sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves it. 57 66 ARTICLE ELEVEN -- SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE; UNCLAIMED MONIES SECTION 11.1 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. (A) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11.1, the Company may terminate its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture with respect to the Securities if: (i) all Securities previously authenticated and delivered (other than destroyed, lost or stolen Securities that have been replaced or Securities that are paid pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Indenture or Securities for whose payment money or securities have theretofore been held in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, as provided in Section 11.4 of this Indenture) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and the Company has paid all sums payable by it hereunder; or (ii) (A) the Securities mature within one year or all of them are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for giving the notice of redemption, (B) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee during such one-year period, under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, as trust funds solely for the benefit of the Holders for that purpose, money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient (in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee), without consideration of any reinvestment of any interest thereon, to pay principal and interest on the Securities to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, and to pay all other sums payable by it hereunder, (C) no Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit, (D) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which either is bound and (E) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, in each case stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. With respect to the foregoing clause (i), the Company's obligations under Section 8.6 shall survive.

The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders of the Securities are referred to the Indenture and said Act for a statement of such terms. In the event of any conflict between this Security and the Indenture, the Indenture shall govern. The Securities are general unsecured obligations of the Company limited in aggregate principal amount to $130,000,000. 5. Optional Redemption. The Securities may be redeemed prior to September 1, 1997 (a) at any time in whole but not in part, at a Redemption Price equal to 105% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest hereon to the Redemption Date, or (b) from time to time in part, excluding amounts redeemed pursuant to Section 3.8 of the Indenture, from the Net Offering Proceeds received by the Company prior to September 1, 1997 from one or more Public Offering Sales at a Redemption Price equal to 105% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. The Securities further may be redeemed on and after September 1, 1997, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a Redemption Price equal to the applicable percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities so redeemed, set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. 4 81

Notice of Redemption. Notice of Redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed at his registered address. Securities in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part, but not in denominations of less than $1,000.

Put Provisions. As provided in and subject to the terms of the Indenture, upon a Change of Control, any Holder will have the right to cause the Company to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a repurchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. 5 82 9.

The Company need not register the transfer of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption. Also, the Company need not issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to the selection of the Securities to be redeemed. In accordance with the provisions of the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security may request a Security in certificated form, in exchange in whole or in part, as the case may be, for such beneficial owner's interest in the Global Security. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security will be entitled to physical delivery in certificated form of Securities in authorized denominations equal in principal amount to such beneficial interest and to have such Securities registered in its name. 10. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. With respect to Global Securities, the Depository shall grant proxies and otherwise authorize Holders of Global Securities to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder of a Security is entitled to give or take under the Indenture. 11. Unclaimed Money. If money deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent for the payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest on the Securities remains unclaimed for 2 years, the Trustee and any such Paying Agent will pay the money back to the Company at its request. After that, all liability of the Trustee and such Paying Agent with respect to such money shall cease. 12. Discharge Prior to Redemption or Maturity. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity and complies with the other provisions of the Indenture relating thereto, the Company will be discharged from certain provisions of the Indenture and the Securities (including the financial covenants, but excluding certain obligations, including without limitation its obligation to pay the principal of or interest on the Securities). 6 83 13.

Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Securities may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities and certain existing Defaults or Events of Default or compliance with any provisions may be waived with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Without notice to or consent of any Holder, the parties thereto may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities to, among other things, cure any ambiguity, correct or supplement any provision which may be inconsistent with any other provision, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of the Indenture (provided such amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights of any of the Holders), provide for any additional rights or benefits to Holders or make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder. 14. Restrictive Covenants. The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, make payments in respect of its Capital Stock or certain Indebtedness, merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets and undertake certain transactions with Affiliates. The limitations are subject to a number of important qualifications and exceptions. The Company must annually (and in certain instances, more frequently) report to the Trustee on compliance with such limitations. 15. Asset Sales. As more fully set forth in the Indenture, the Indenture provides that the Company must apply certain proceeds resulting from certain Asset Sales to the repurchase of Securities under certain circumstances in an Excess Proceeds Offer at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase. A Holder of Securities may tender or refrain from tendering in any Excess Proceeds Offer all or any portion of its Securities at its discretion by completing the form entitled "Option of Holder to Elect Purchase" appearing on the reverse side of this Security. 16. Successors. When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor under the Securities and the Indenture, the predecessor will be released from those obligations. 17. Defaults and Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, subject to certain exceptions, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of Securities may declare all the 7 84 Securities to be due and payable immediately in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Holders of Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Trustee may require indemnity satisfactory to it before it enforces the Indenture or the Securities. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The Trustee may withhold notice in certain circumstances. 18. Trustee Dealings with Company. The Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates as if it were not the Trustee. 19. No Recourse Against Others. No stockholder, director, officer, employee or incorporator, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or any successor corporation shall have any liability for any obligation of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of a Security by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities. 20. Authentication. This Security shall not be valid until the Trustee or authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the face of this Security. 21. Abbreviation. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Holder of a Security or an assignee, such as: TEN COM (= tenants in common), TENANT (= tenants by the entireties), TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian), and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act). 22.

For the purposes of this Agreement, such securities will cease to be Restricted Securities (i) when they have been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (ii) when they are distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144 (or any similar provision then in force) under the 1933 Act or (iii) when (A) they have been otherwise transferred without registration under the 1933 Act pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act and (B) if it has so requested, the Company has received an opinion of counsel (either its own counsel or, if the Company so requests, counsel to the holders of such Restricted Securities) acceptable to the Company that such Restricted Securities may be so transferred without registration or pursuant to an exemption, and in each such instance has delivered new certificates or other evidence of ownership for such securities that are not subject to any stop transfer order or other restriction on transfer and not bearing the legend prescribed by the preceding paragraph. (b) Subject to paragraph (a) above, the Warrant Agent, from time to time, shall register the transfer of all or any whole number of Warrants covered by any outstanding Warrant Certificates in the Warrant Register upon surrender at the Warrant Agent's Office of Warrant Certificates accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent, duly executed by the registered Warrant holder or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon any such registration of transfer, a new Warrant Certificate shall be countersigned by the Warrant Agent and issued to the transferee and the surrendered Warrant Certificate shall promptly be canceled by the Warrant Agent. Warrant Certificates may be exchanged at the option of the holder thereof, upon surrender, properly endorsed by the Registered Holders with signature guaranteed by a guarantor institution with membership in an approved signature guarantee medallion program, at the Warrant Agent's Office, with written instructions, for other Warrant Certificates countersigned by the Warrant Agent representing in the aggregate a like number of Warrants.

Warrant Price; Expiration Date. Each Warrant Certificate shall entitle the registered holder thereof, subject to the provisions thereof and of this Agreement, to purchase from the Company at any time commencing at the opening of business on the Initial Exercise Date and before 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the Expiration Date, one share of Class B Common Stock for each of the Warrants specified therein, at the Warrant Price, subject to adjustment as provided in Article IV hereof, payable in full at the time of purchase. Each Warrant not exercised during the applicable period set forth above shall become void, and all rights thereunder and all rights in respect thereof under this Agreement shall cease at the end of such period. SECTION 3.02. Exercise of Warrants; Common Stock Record Date. (a) Commencing at the opening of business on the Initial Exercise Date, Warrants may be exercised by surrendering the Warrant Certificate evidencing such Warrants at the Warrant Agent's Office with the Election to Exercise form set forth on the reverse of the Warrant Certificate duly completed and executed by the registered holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and by paying in full to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company (i) in cash, (ii) by certified or official bank check or (iii) by any combination of the foregoing, the Warrant Price for each share of Class B Common Stock as to which Warrants are exercised and any applicable taxes that the Company is not required to pay as set forth in Section 4.08 or 6.01. A registered Warrant holder may exercise all or any number of whole Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate. (b) Subject to the provisions of subsection (e) below and Section 4.08 hereof, as soon as practicable (and in any event within five (5) Business Days) after the exercise of any Warrants and payment by the registered Warrant holder of the full Warrant Price for the shares as to which such Warrants are then being exercised, the Warrant Agent shall promptly requisition from the transfer agent of the Class B Common Stock and deliver to or upon the order of such registered Warrant holder a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Class B Common Stock to which such Warrant holder is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by him (if other than to such registered holder, (i) to the extent such transfer is not validly restricted and (ii) upon payment of any transfer taxes that are required to be paid by such holder or its transferees in connection with any transfer by such registered holder), together with cash or scrip, as provided in Section 3.03 hereof, in 8 13 respect of any fractional shares, and, if the number of Warrants represented by a Warrant Certificate shall not have been exercised in full, a new Warrant Certificate delivered to the holder of the Warrant Certificate or to his duly authorized assignee, countersigned by the Warrant Agent, for the number of Warrants remaining unexercised, together with cash or scrip, as provided in Section 4.04 hereof, in respect of the balance of any fractional Warrants represented by the surrendered Warrant Certificate. Any shares of Class B Common Stock issued upon a Warrant holder's exercise of any Warrant shall be validly authorized and issued, fully paid, non-assessable, free of pre-emptive rights and free from all taxes (other than those specified in clause (ii) above), liens, charges, security interests and claims created or incurred by the Company in respect of the issuance thereof. (c) A Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately prior to the close of business on the date of the due surrender for exercise of the Warrant Certificate and payment to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company of the Warrant Price and any applicable taxes that the Company is not required to pay as set forth in Section 4.08 or 6.01. Each Person in whose name any such certificate for shares of Class B Common Stock is issued shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of such shares at the close of business on the date on which the Warrant Certificate was duly surrendered to the Warrant Agent and payment of the Warrant Price and any such applicable taxes was made to the Warrant Agent for the account of the Company, irrespective of the date of delivery of such share certificate, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the stock transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the stock transfer books are open (whether before or after the Expiration Date). (d) The Warrant Agent shall promptly notify both the Company and the transfer agent of the Class B Common Stock in writing of any exercise of any Warrant and of the number of shares delivered upon the exercise of such Warrant and shall pay to the Company within 72 hours after receipt by wire transfer or certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company the amount of money received by it upon the exercise of Warrants (less any amount paid by the Warrant Agent in respect of a fractional share upon such exercise in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof). The Warrant Agent shall hold any proceeds collected and not yet paid to the Company in a federally insured escrow account. A detailed accounting statement setting forth the number of Warrants exercised, the amount of funds received upon such exercise and all expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent as provided in this Agreement shall be transmitted to the Company on payment to the Company of the funds so received upon exercise. 9 14 The Warrant Agent shall render to the Company a complete accounting setting forth the number of Warrants exercised, the identity of the Persons exercising such Warrants, the number of shares issued, the amounts distributed to the Company and all expenses incurred by the Warrant Agent as provided in this Agreement as of the Expiration Date. (e) The Warrant Agent may deem and treat the Person named as the registered holder on the face of any Warrant as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes. If the Warrant Agent is instructed to deliver shares upon the exercise of Warrants or to deliver a Warrant Certificate representing unexercised Warrants, in either case registered in a name or names other than the name or names in which a Warrant Certificate tendered in connection with such exercise is registered, the Warrant Agent may require such documents, and such evidence of payment of applicable transfer taxes, as it may deem necessary to enable it to carry out the instructions of the bearer. SECTION 3.03. No Fractional Shares to Be Issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable on the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.02 hereof, the Company shall not be required to issue any fraction of a share of Class B Common Stock or to distribute stock certificates that evidence fractional shares of Class B Common Stock. If Warrant Certificates evidencing more than one Warrant shall be surrendered for exercise at one time by the same holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable upon exercise thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Warrants so surrendered. If any fraction of a share of Class B Common Stock would, except for the provisions of this Section 3.03, be issuable on the exercise of any Warrant or Warrants, the Company shall, at its option upon notice to the Warrant Agent given within two (2) Business Days of exercise of any such Warrant or Warrants, either (a) purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the then-current market value of such fraction computed in accordance with Section 4.01(d) hereof (assuming, for the purpose of such computation, that the date of surrender of such Warrants to the Warrant Agent shall be the applicable record date referred to in Section 4.01(d)) or (b) issue scrip of the Company in lieu thereof, rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a share. Such scrip shall be non-dividend bearing and non-voting, shall be exchangeable in combination with other similar scrip for the number of full shares of Class B Common Stock represented thereby, shall be issued in such denominations (not less than one-hundredth of a share) and in such form, shall expire after such reasonable time (which shall not be sooner than either (i) five years from the date of issue or (ii) one year after the Expiration Date, whichever first occurs) and may contain such provisions for sale 10 15 for the account of the holders of such scrip of shares of Class B Common Stock for which such scrip is exchangeable or the payment to such holders of the market value of such shares, and be subject to such other terms and provisions, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The Warrant holders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive their right to receive any fraction of a share of Class B Common Stock or a stock certificate representing a fraction of a share of Class B Common Stock. SECTION 3.04. Acquisition of Warrants by the Company; Cancellation of Warrants. The Company shall have the right, except as limited by law or other agreement, to purchase or otherwise acquire Warrants at such times, in such manner and for such consideration as it may deem appropriate. The Warrant Agent shall cancel any Warrant Certificate delivered to it for exercise, in whole or in part, or delivered to it for transfer, exchange, or substitution, and no Warrant Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof unless such exercise, transfer, exchange or substitution is expressly permitted by the provisions of this Agreement. On request of the Company, the Warrant Agent shall destroy canceled Warrant Certificates held by it and shall deliver its certificates of destruction to the Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Warrants, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or termination of the right represented by such Warrants unless and until the Warrant Certificates evidencing such Warrants are surrendered to the Warrant Agent for cancellation. SECTION 3.05. Notice to Holders of Bankruptcy Court Action with regard to Warrant Price. (a) In the event that a Warrant Price of $12.74 for each share of Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant has not been confirmed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court as of September 7, 1994, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent an Officers' Certificate setting forth such fact, and promptly after such filing shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such fact to each Warrant holder at his last address as the same appears on the Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any holder of Warrants desiring inspection thereof. (b) In the event that a Warrant Price for each share of Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise of a Warrant is subsequently confirmed by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court on or after September 7, 1994, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent an Officers' Certificate setting forth (A) the Warrant Price so confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and (B) the date of such final order of the Bankruptcy Court, and promptly after such filing shall mail or cause to be mailed a 11 16 notice of such Warrant Price and date of such final order to each Warrant holder at his last address as the same appears on the Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any holder of Warrants desiring inspection thereof. ARTICLE IV ADJUSTMENT OF WARRANT PRICE, SHARES OF COMMON STOCK PURCHASABLE AND NUMBER OF WARRANTS SECTION 4.01. Adjustment of Warrant Price. The Warrant Price specified in Section 3.01 shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows: (a) If the Company after the date hereof shall (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution to all holders of Common Stock or any class thereof in shares of Common Stock or any class thereof, (ii) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof, or (iii) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof into a smaller number of shares, then in any such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to such action and the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such action. An adjustment made pursuant to clause (i) of this subsection (a) shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for such dividend or distribution, and an adjustment made pursuant to clause (ii) or (iii) of this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such subdivision or combination. (b) If the Company after the date hereof shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock or any class thereof entitling them for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or any class thereof at a price per share less than the then-current market price per share (as determined pursuant to subsection (d) below) on the record date (or, if applicable, the ex-distribution date) mentioned below, the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of shares of Common Stock of the class subject to such rights or warrants which the aggregate offering price of the total number of shares so to be offered would purchase at the current market price of the Common 12 17 Stock subject to such rights or warrants, and (ii) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the date of issuance of such rights or warrants plus the number of additional shares of Common Stock, or the applicable class thereof, to be offered for subscription or purchase; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made if the Company issues or distributes to each holder of Warrants the rights or warrants which each holder of Warrants would have been entitled to receive had such Warrants been exercised prior to the record date mentioned below. Any such adjustments shall be made whenever such rights or warrants are issued and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants. Upon expiration of the period during which any such rights or warrants may be exercised, any adjustment previously made pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be recalculated to take into consideration only those rights or warrants actually exercised during the applicable period for exercise and notice of any such further adjustment to the Warrant Price shall be given to Warrant holders as herein provided. (c) If the Company after the date hereof shall issue or distribute to all holders of Common Stock or any class thereof evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding any cash dividend or distribution), shares of capital stock of any class (other than the Common Stock) or rights to subscribe therefor (excluding those referred to in subsection (b) above), in each such case the Warrant Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted to a price obtained by multiplying such Warrant Price by a fraction of which (i) the numerator shall be the sum of the amount, for each class of Common Stock then outstanding, of the then-current market price per share (determined as provided in subsection (d) below) of the Common Stock of such class, multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of such class, in each case on the record date (or, if applicable, the ex-distribution date) mentioned below less the then-current fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in its reasonable judgement whose determination shall be conclusive, and described in a statement filed with the Warrant Agent) of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed, or shares of capital stock of any class other than Common Stock or rights to subscribe therefor so issued, and (ii) the denominator shall be the sum of the amount, for each class of Common Stock then outstanding, of the then-current market price per share of the Common Stock of such class, multiplied by the number of outstanding shares of such class, in each case on the record date (or, if applicable, the ex-distribution date) mentioned below; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be made (1) if the Company issues or distributes to each holder of Warrants the subscription rights referred to above in this subsection (c) that each holder of Warrants would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised prior to the record date mentioned 13 18 below, or (2) if the Company grants to each holder of Warrants the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at any time after the distribution of the evidences of indebtedness or assets or shares of capital stock of any class other than the Common Stock referred to above in this subsection (c), the evidences of indebtedness or assets or shares of capital stock of any class other than the Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive had the Warrants been exercised prior to the record date mentioned below. The Company shall provide the Warrant Agent, upon receipt of a written request therefor, with any indenture or other instrument defining the rights of the holders of any indebtedness, assets, capital stock or subscription rights referred to in this subsection 4.01(c). Any such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective retroactively immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution. Upon expiration of the period during which any subscription rights granted pursuant to this subsection (c) may be exercised, any adjustment previously made pursuant to the foregoing provisions shall be recalculated to take into consideration only those subscription rights actually exercised during the applicable period for exercise and notice of any such further adjustment to the Warrant Price shall be given to Warrant holders as herein provided. (d) For the purpose of any computation under subsection (b) or (c) above, the current market price per share of any class of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily mean between the high and low sales prices regular way of the shares of such class of Common Stock on the exchange on which such shares are listed as specified below for the ten consecutive trading days (as defined below) preceding the applicable record date (or, if earlier, the date on which such class of Common Stock commences trading on an ex- distribution basis). If there shall not have been a sale regular way on any such trading day, the mean of the last reported bid and asked quotations regular way on the specified exchange on such day shall be deemed to be the only sale price. The exchange specified for purposes of this subsection 4.01(d) shall be the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. if the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock are listed thereon or, if the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be listed on such exchange, then that national securities exchange on which the applicable class of Common Stock is listed having the largest volume of trading in the applicable class of Common Stock during the calendar year or portion thereof next preceding such computation. If the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be listed on any such exchange on all such ten trading days, the average of the closing high bid and low asked prices for the applicable class of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on each trading day on which such shares are not so listed as reported by the National Association of Securities 14 19 Dealers Automatic Quotation System or, if not so reported, then as reported by the National Quotation Bureau Incorporated, or if such organization is not in existence, by an organization providing similar services (as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company), shall be deemed to be the only sale price on such trading day. If the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be so reported on any of such trading days, then the current market price per share of such shares of Common Stock shall be the fair market value thereof as determined in the reasonable judgement of the Board of Directors. For the purpose of this subsection 4.01(d), "trading day" shall mean a day on which the securities exchange specified for purposes of this subsection 4.01(d) shall be open for business or, if the shares of the applicable class of Common Stock shall not be listed on such exchange for such period, a day with respect to which quotations of the character specified for purposes of this subsection 4.01(d) shall be reported. (e) In any case in which this Section 4.01 shall require that an adjustment be made retroactively immediately following a record date, the Company may elect to defer (but only until five Business Days following the filing by the Company with the Warrant Agent of a certificate signed by the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, the President or any Vice President of the Company (an "Officers' Certificate") as required in subsection (g) of this Section 4.01) issuing to the holder of any Warrant exercised after such record date the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such exercise in excess of the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon such exercise prior to such adjustment. (f) No adjustment shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least $.05 in the Warrant Price then subject to adjustment; provided, however, that any adjustments that are not made by reason of this subsection (f) shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. In case the Company shall at any time issue Common Stock or any class thereof by way of dividend on any stock of the Company or subdivide or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof, said amount of $.05 specified in the preceding sentence (as theretofore increased or decreased, if said amount shall have been adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph (f)) shall forthwith be proportionately increased in the case of such a combination or decreased in the case of such a subdivision or stock dividend so as appropriately to reflect the same. All calculations under this Section 4.01 shall be made to the nearest hundredth of a cent. (g) Whenever an adjustment in the Warrant Price is made as required or permitted by the provisions of Section 4.01, 4.02 or 4.03 of this Agreement, the Company shall promptly file with the Warrant Agent an Officers' Certificate (A) setting forth 15 20 the adjusted Warrant Price as provided in this Section 4.01 and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment and the computation thereof, and (B) setting forth the number of shares of Class B Common Stock (or portions thereof) purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant after such adjustment in the Warrant Price in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof or the number of Warrants outstanding in accordance with Section 4.03 hereof after such adjustment in the Warrant Price and the record date therefor, and promptly after such filing shall mail or cause to be mailed a notice of such adjustment to each Warrant holder at his last address as the same appears on the Warrant Register. The Warrant Agent shall be under no duty or responsibility with respect to any such certificate except to exhibit the same to any holder of Warrants desiring inspection thereof. (h) In case: (1) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on shares of Common Stock or any class thereof payable from sources other than its retained earnings (as such term is used in generally accepted accounting principles); or (2) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of shares of Common Stock or any class thereof of rights to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other right; or (3) of any reclassification of shares of Common Stock or any class thereof (other than a subdivision or combination of outstanding shares of Common Stock or any class thereof), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for 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 (4) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then the Company shall cause to be filed with the Warrant Agent, and shall cause to be mailed to the holders of the Warrants, at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Warrant Register, at least 10 days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or rights, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock (or any class thereof) of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become 16 21 effective, and, if applicable, the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock (or any class thereof) of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities or other property (including cash) deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings referred to in clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) above. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.01, the Company shall be entitled, but not required, to make such reductions in the Warrant Price, in addition to those required by this Section 4.01, as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable, including, without limitation, in order that any dividend in or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or any class thereof) or shares of capital stock of any class other than Common Stock, subdivision, reclassification or combination of shares of Common Stock, issuance of rights or warrants, or any other transaction having a similar effect, shall not be treated as a distribution of property by the Company to its stockholders under Section 305 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or any successor provision and shall not be taxable to them. (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no adjustment to the Warrant Price or the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant (or the number of Warrants) shall be made as a result of, or in connection with (i) the issuance of options or rights to purchase Common Stock issued to directors, officers or employees of the Company or its Subsidiaries pursuant to a stock option or other similar plan adopted by the Board of Directors, or the modification, renewal or extension of any such plan if approved by the Board of Directors, (ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or other securities issued by the Company pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan, the Investment Agreement or the Related Agreements, or (iii) the conversion of shares of any class of Common Stock into shares of any other class of Common Stock pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as in effect from time to time. SECTION 4.02. Adjustment of Shares of Class B Common Stock Purchasable Upon Exercise of Warrants. Unless the Company shall have exercised its election as provided in Section 4.03 hereof, upon each adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of a Warrant outstanding prior to the effectiveness of such adjustment shall be adjusted to the number of shares of Class B Common Stock, calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, obtained by (i) multiplying the number of 17 22 shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable immediately prior to such adjustment upon the exercise of a Warrant by the Warrant Price in effect prior to such adjustment, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Warrant Price in effect after such adjustment of the Warrant Price. SECTION 4.03. Election to Adjust Warrants Instead of Shares Per Warrant. The Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Warrant Price pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof to adjust the number of Warrants outstanding in substitution for any adjustment in the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of a Warrant as provided in Section 4.02 hereof. Each of the Warrants outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall be exercisable for one share of Class B Common Stock. Each Warrant held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Warrants shall become that number of Warrants (calculated to the nearest hundredth) obtained by (i) multiplying the number of Warrants held of record prior to adjustment of the number of Warrants by the Warrant Price in effect prior to adjustment of the Warrant Price, and (ii) dividing the product so obtained by the Warrant Price in effect after adjustment of the Warrant Price. The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Warrants, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Warrant Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but shall not be less than 10 or more than 30 days later than the date of public announcement. Upon each adjustment of the number of Warrants pursuant to this Section 4.03, the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent, as promptly as practicable, to distribute to holders of record of the Warrant Certificates on such record date either (i) Warrant Certificates evidencing any additional Warrants to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or (ii) in substitution and replacement for the Warrant Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new Warrant Certificates evidencing all the Warrants to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Warrant Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the manner specified in this Agreement (but may bear, at the option of the Company, the adjusted Warrant Price), shall represent the same class of Warrants as was represented by the Warrant Certificates so surrendered and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of the Warrant Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. For the purposes of this Section 4.03, "public announcement" shall mean publication at least once in a newspaper printed in the English language and customarily published at least once a day for at least five days in each calendar week and 18 23 of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, New York. SECTION 4.04. No Fractional Warrants to Be Issued. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Warrants on any distribution of Warrants to Warrant holders pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof or otherwise or to distribute Warrant Certificates that evidence fractional Warrants. If any fraction of a Warrant would, except for the provisions of this Section 4.04, be issuable upon an adjustment of the Warrant Price and distribution of Warrants pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof or otherwise, the Company shall, at its option, either (a) purchase such fraction for an amount in cash equal to the then-current market value of such fraction computed in accordance with Section 4.01(d) hereof (with respect to the current market price of the Warrant rather than the per share current market price of the Class B Common Stock and assuming, for the purpose of such computation, that the effective date of such adjustment of the Warrant Price, or such other relevant date, shall be the applicable record date referred to in Section 4.01(d)) or (b) issue scrip of the Company in lieu thereof, rounded up to the nearest one-hundredth of a Warrant. Such scrip shall be exchangeable in combination with other similar scrip for the number of full Warrants represented thereby, shall be issued in such denominations (not less than one-hundredth of a Warrant) and in such form, shall expire on the Expiration Date and may contain such provisions for sale for the account of the holders of such scrip of the Warrants for which such scrip is exchangeable or the payment to such holders of the market value of such Warrants, and be subject to such other terms and provisions, if any, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine. The Warrant holders, by their acceptance of the Warrant Certificates, expressly waive their right to receive any fraction of a Warrant or a Warrant Certificate representing a fraction of a Warrant upon the adjustment thereof in accordance with this Article IV or otherwise. SECTION 4.05. Rights Upon Consolidation, Merger, Sale, Transfer or Reclassification. (a) In case of any consolidation with or merger of the Company into another corporation (other than a merger or consolidation in which the Company is the continuing corporation), or in case of any lease, sale or conveyance to another corporation of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, such successor, leasing or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall execute with the Warrant Agent a supplemental agreement (1) providing that the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the Expiration Date) to receive, upon exercise thereof, in lieu of each share of Class B Common Stock 19 24 deliverable upon such exercise immediately prior to such event, only the kind and amount of shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash receivable upon such consolidation, merger, lease, sale or conveyance by a holder of one share of Class B Common Stock, and (2) setting forth the Warrant Price for the shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash so issuable, which shall be an amount equal to the Warrant Price per share of Class B Common Stock immediately prior to such event. (b) In case of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Company shall make prompt, proportionate, equitable, lawful and adequate provision as part of the terms of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up such that the holder of a Warrant may thereafter receive, on exercise of such Warrant, in lieu of each share of Class B Common Stock of the Company which such holder would have been entitled to receive upon exercise of such Warrant, the same kind and amount of any stock, securities or assets as may be issuable, distributable or payable on any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up with respect to each share of Class B Common Stock of the Company; provided, however, that in the event of any such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the right to exercise the Warrants shall terminate on a date fixed by the Company, such date to be not earlier than the 60th day next succeeding the date on which notice of such termination of the right to exercise the Warrants has been given by mail to the holders thereof in accordance with Section 4.01(h). (c) In case of any reclassification or change of the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination) or in case of any consolidation or merger of another corporation into the Company in which the Company is the continuing corporation and in which the holders of the shares of Common Stock thereafter receive shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash for such shares of Common Stock (including for this purpose shares reflecting a change in par value or from par value to no par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination of the shares of Common Stock), the Company shall execute with the Warrant Agent a supplemental agreement (1) providing that the holder of each Warrant then outstanding shall have the right thereafter (until the Expiration Date) to receive, upon exercise thereof, in lieu of each share of Class B Common Stock, deliverable upon such exercise immediately prior to such event, only the kind and amount of shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation or merger by a holder of one share of Class B Common Stock, and (2) setting forth the Warrant Price for the shares and/or other securities and/or property and/or cash so issuable, which shall be an amount equal to the Warrant Price per share of Class B Common Stock 20 25 immediately prior to such event. If, as a result of this subsection (c), the holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive shares of two or more classes of capital stock of the Company, the Board of Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive and shall be described in a statement filed with the Warrant Agent) shall determine the allocation of the Warrant Price between or among shares of such classes of capital stock. (d) Any supplemental agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 4.05 shall, where appropriate, state the Warrant Price in terms of one full share of Class B Common Stock of the Company or one full share of the common stock of any successor, leasing or purchasing corporation. (e) The above provisions of this Section 4.05 shall similarly apply to successive reclassifications and changes of shares of Class B Common Stock and to successive consolidations, mergers, leases, sales or conveyances, mutatis mutandis. (f) Notice of the execution of any such supplemental agreement shall be mailed by the Company to registered holders of Warrants as soon as practicable after the execution of such supplemental agreement. (g) In the event that at any time as a result of the provisions of this Section 4.05, the holder of any Warrant thereafter surrendered for exercise shall become entitled to receive any shares or other securities other than shares of Class B Common Stock, thereafter the price or prices of such other shares or other securities so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions of Article IV with respect to Class B Common Stock, and the provisions of Article III with respect to the Class B Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares or other securities. SECTION 4.06. Covenant to Reserve Shares for Issuance on Exercise. The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available free of preemptive rights out of its authorized and unissued Class B Common Stock, solely for the purpose of issue upon exercise of Warrants and exchange of scrip as herein provided, the full number of shares of Class B Common Stock, if any, then issuable if all outstanding Warrants then exercisable were to be exercised. The Company covenants that all shares of Class B Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall be duly and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. The Company hereby authorizes and directs its current and future transfer agents for the Class B Common Stock and for any shares of the Company's capital stock issuable upon the 21 26 exercise of any of the Warrants at all times to reserve such number of authorized shares as shall be requisite for such purpose. The Warrant Agent is hereby authorized to requisition from time to time from any such transfer agents stock certificates required to honor outstanding Warrants upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and the Company hereby authorizes and directs such transfer agents to comply with all such requests of the Warrant Agent. The Company will supply such transfer agents with duly executed stock certificates for such purposes and will provide or otherwise make available any cash or scrip which may be payable as provided in this Article IV. Promptly after the Expiration Date, the Warrant Agent shall certify to the Company the aggregate number of Warrants then outstanding, and thereafter no shares shall be reserved in respect of such Warrants. SECTION 4.07. Condition Precedent to Reduction of Warrant Price Below Par Value of Shares of Class B Common Stock; Compliance with Governmental Requirements; Suspension of Exercise of Warrants. Before taking any action that would cause an adjustment reducing the Warrant Price to below the then par value of any of the shares of Class B Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants, the Company will take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of such Class B Common Stock at such adjusted Warrant Price. The Company covenants that if any shares of Class B Common Stock required to be reserved for purposes of exercise of Warrants or exchange of scrip require, under any Federal or state law or rule or regulation of any national securities exchange, registration with or approval of any governmental authority, or listing on any national securities exchange before such shares may be issued upon exercise, the Company will in good faith and as expeditiously as possible endeavor to cause such shares to be duly registered, approved or listed on the relevant national securities exchange, as the case may be; provided, however, that in no event shall such shares of Class B Common Stock be issued, and the Company is hereby authorized to suspend the exercise of all Warrants, for the period during which such registration, approval or listing is required but not in effect. SECTION 4.08. Payment of Taxes on Stock Certificates Issued upon Exercise. The initial issuance of certificates of Class B Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants shall be made without charge to the exercising Warrant holders for any transfer, stamp or similar tax or for any other governmental charges that may be imposed in respect of the issuance of such stock certificates, and such stock certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the registered holders of the Warrants exercised; provided, 22 27 however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax or such other charges that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such stock certificate, any Warrant Certificates or other securities in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Warrant Certificate surrendered upon exercise of the Warrant, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates or other securities unless and until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid. SECTION 4.09. Warrant Agent Not Responsible for Adjustments or Validity of Stock. The Warrant Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Warrant holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require an adjustment of the Warrant Price, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed herein or in any supplemental agreement in making the same. The Warrant Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Class B Common Stock or of any securities or property or scrip which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exercise of any Warrant or upon any adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, and it makes no representation with respect thereto. The Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any cash payment or to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Class B Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Warrant for the purpose of exercise or upon any adjustment pursuant to this Article IV, or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company contained in this Article IV. SECTION 4.10. Statements on Warrants. The form of Warrant Certificate need not be changed because of any adjustment made pursuant to this Article IV, and Warrant Certificates issued after such adjustment may state the same Warrant Price and the same number of shares of Class B Common Stock as are stated in the Warrant Certificates initially issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Company, however, may at any time in its sole discretion (which shall be conclusive) make any change in the form of Warrant Certificate that it may deem appropriate and that does not affect the substance thereof; and any Warrant Certificate thereafter issued or countersigned, whether in exchange or substitution for an outstanding Warrant Certificate or otherwise, may be in the form as so changed. 23 28 ARTICLE V OTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF WARRANTS SECTION 5.01. No Rights as Stockholders. Nothing contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate shall be construed as conferring on the holder of any Warrant or its transferee any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company, either at law or equity, including but not limited to the right to vote at, or to receive notice of, any meeting of stockholders of the Company; nor shall the consent of any such holder be required with respect to any action or proceeding of the Company; nor shall any such holder, by reason of the ownership or possession of a Warrant or the Warrant Certificate representing the same, either at, before or after exercising such Warrant, have any right to receive any cash dividends, stock dividends, allotments or rights, or other distributions (except as specifically provided herein), paid, allotted or distributed or distributable to the stockholders of the Company prior to the date of the exercise of such Warrant, nor shall such holder have any right not expressly conferred by this Agreement or the Warrant Certificate that he holds. SECTION 5.02. Mutilated or Missing Warrant Certificates. If any Warrant Certificate is lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed, the Company shall issue and the Warrant Agent shall countersign, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Warrant Certificate, or in lieu of and substitution for the Warrant Certificate lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of a proper affidavit or other evidence satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent (and surrender of any mutilated Warrant Certificate) and bond of indemnity in form and amount and with corporate surety satisfactory to the Company and the Warrant Agent in each instance protecting the Company and the Warrant Agent, a new Warrant Certificate of like tenor and representing an equivalent number of Warrants as the Warrant Certificate so lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed. Any such new Warrant Certificate shall constitute an original contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the allegedly lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate shall be at any time enforceable by anyone. An applicant for such a substitute Warrant Certificate shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges as the Company or the Warrant Agent may prescribe. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificate is held by a Person to which Warrant Certificates were originally issued pursuant to Section 2.03(a) or 2.03(c), an indemnity agreement from such Person in lieu of a bond shall be acceptable and no charges other than the reasonable expenses of the Company in effecting such substitution shall be made for such substitution. All Warrant Certificates shall be held and owned upon the express 24 29 condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive, with respect to the replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Warrant Certificates, and shall, to the full extent permitted by law, preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 5.03. Delivery of Prospectuses. If, and to the extent that, the Company may be required by the 1933 Act or any other applicable Federal or state law to furnish a prospectus to Warrant holders upon their exercise of Warrants, the Company shall cause to be kept, either at the Warrant Agent's Office or at such other location designated by the Company, sufficient quantities of such prospectuses for delivery to Warrant holders upon their exercise of Warrants, and shall deliver such prospectuses or cause such prospectuses to be delivered to such Warrant holders together with the shares of Class B Common Stock or other securities receivable by such Warrant holders upon their exercise of Warrants. ARTICLE VI CONCERNING THE WARRANT AGENT SECTION 6.01. Payment of Certain Taxes. The Company will from time to time promptly pay all transfer, stamp or similar taxes and all other governmental charges that may be imposed upon the Company or otherwise in respect of the initial issuance or delivery of shares of Class B Common Stock upon the exercise of Warrants, but the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer, stamp or similar taxes or other governmental charges in respect of any transfer of the Warrants or such shares effected by any holder thereof. SECTION 6.02. Change of Warrant Agent. (a) The Warrant Agent, or any successor to it hereafter appointed, may resign its duties and be discharged from all further duties and liabilities hereunder (except liabilities arising as a result of the Warrant Agent's own negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) after giving 60 days' notice in writing to the Company, except that such shorter notice may be given as the Company and AmWest shall, in writing, accept as sufficient. At least 15 days prior to the date such resignation is to become effective, the Warrant Agent shall cause a copy of such notice of resignation to be mailed to the registered holder of each Warrant Certificate. If the office of the Warrant Agent becomes vacant by resignation or incapacity to act or otherwise, the Company shall appoint a successor Warrant Agent in place of the Warrant Agent ; provided that in the event that AmWest is the holder of any Warrants at such time, the Company shall notify and 25 30 consult with AmWest with respect to such proposed appointment. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period of 60 days after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Warrant Agent or by any holder of Warrants (who shall, with such notice, submit a copy of his Warrant Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the holder of any Warrants may apply, at the expense of the Company, to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor warrant agent. (b) The Warrant Agent may be removed by the Company at any time upon 30 days' written notice to the Warrant Agent; provided, that the Warrant Agent shall not be removed until a successor Warrant Agent meeting the qualifications hereof shall have been appointed and provided further that in the event AmWest is the holder of any Warrants at such time, the Company shall obtain the consent of AmWest, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (c) Any successor Warrant Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by a court, shall be a corporation organized, in good standing and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $10,000,000. The combined capital and surplus of any such successor Warrant Agent shall be deemed to be the combined capital and surplus as set forth in the most recent report of its condition published prior to its appointment pursuant to law or to the requirements of a Federal or state supervising or examining authority. After appointment, any successor Warrant Agent shall be vested with all the authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations of its predecessor Warrant Agent with like effect as if originally named as Warrant Agent hereunder, without any further assurance, conveyance, act or deed; provided, however, that in no event shall any successor Warrant Agent be liable for any breach, default or failure of performance by the predecessor Warrant Agent of any covenant or obligation under this Agreement existing on the date the successor Warrant Agent assumes authority pursuant to this Section 6.02. If for any reason it becomes necessary or appropriate, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall execute and deliver, at the expense of the Company, an instrument transferring to such successor Warrant Agent all the authority, powers and rights of such predecessor Warrant Agent hereunder; and upon request of any successor Warrant Agent, the Company shall make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all instruments in writing to more fully and effectually vest in and confirm to such successor Warrant Agent all such authority, powers, rights, immunities, duties and obligations. Upon assumption by a successor Warrant Agent of the duties and responsibilities hereunder, the predecessor Warrant Agent shall 26 31 deliver and transfer, at the expense of the Company, to the successor Warrant Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder. As soon as practicable after such appointment, the Company shall give notice thereof to the predecessor Warrant Agent, the registered holders of the Warrants and each transfer agent for the shares of its Class B Common Stock. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of the appointment of the successor Warrant Agent. (d) Any corporation into which the Warrant Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Warrant Agent shall be a party, shall be the successor Warrant Agent under this Agreement without any further act, provided that such corporation is eligible for appointment as a successor to the Warrant Agent. Any such successor Warrant Agent shall promptly cause notice of its succession as Warrant Agent to be mailed to the Company and to the registered holder of each Warrant Certificate. In case at the time such successor Warrant Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement, any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignature of the original Warrant Agent and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned, and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, any successor to the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Warrant Agent or in the name of the successor Warrant Agent; and in all such cases Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. (e) In case at any time the name of the Warrant Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Warrant Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the Warrant Agent may adopt the countersignatures under its prior name and deliver such Warrant Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Warrant Certificates shall not have been countersigned, the Warrant Agent may countersign such Warrant Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Warrant Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Warrant Certificates and in this Agreement. SECTION 6.03. Compensation; Further Assurances. The Company agrees (i) that it will pay the Warrant Agent the fees set forth in Exhibit B for its services as Warrant Agent hereunder and, except as otherwise expressly provided, will pay or reimburse the Warrant Agent upon demand for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Warrant Agent in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its or any of their negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith; and (ii) that it 27 32 will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Warrant Agent for the carrying out or performing of the provisions of this Agreement. SECTION 6.04. Reliance on Counsel. The Warrant Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the written opinion of such counsel or any advice of legal counsel subsequently confirmed by a written opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Warrant Agent as to any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such written opinion or advice, provided that such counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. SECTION 6.05. Proof of Actions Taken. Whenever in the performance of its duties under this Agreement the Warrant Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any matter be proved or established by the Company prior to taking or suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Warrant Agent; and such Officers' Certificate shall, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Warrant Agent be full authority to the Warrant Agent for any action taken, suffered or omitted in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate; but in its discretion the Warrant Agent may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence as to it may deem reasonable. SECTION 6.06. Correctness of Statements. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, and all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. SECTION 6.07. Validity of Agreement. The Warrant Agent shall not be under any responsibility in respect of the validity of this Agreement or the execution and delivery hereof (other than such execution and delivery by the Warrant Agent) or in respect of the validity or execution of any Warrant Certificates (except its countersignature thereof); nor shall it be responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Warrant Certificate; nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any shares of Class B Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrants or as to whether any 28 33 shares of Class B Common Stock will, when issued, be validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. SECTION 6.08. Use of Agents. The Warrant Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers hereby vested in it or perform any duty hereunder either itself or by or through its attorneys or agents and the Warrant Agent shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or attorney, provided due care had been exercised in the appointment and continued employment thereof. SECTION 6.09. Liability of Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agent shall incur no liability or responsibility to the Company or to any holder of Warrants for any action taken in reliance on any notice, resolution, waiver, consent, order, certificate, or other paper, document or instrument believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or presented by the proper party or parties. The Company agrees to indemnify the Warrant Agent and hold it harmless against any and all liabilities, including judgments, costs and reasonable counsel fees, for anything done or omitted in good faith by the Warrant Agent in the execution of this Warrant Agreement, except as a result of the Warrant Agent's negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith. SECTION 6.10. Legal Proceedings. The Warrant Agent shall be under no obligation to institute any action, suit or legal proceeding or to take any other action likely to involve expense unless the Company or one or more holders of Warrants shall furnish the Warrant Agent with reasonable security and indemnity for any costs and expenses which may be incurred, but this provision shall not affect the power of the Warrant Agent to take such action as the Warrant Agent may consider proper, whether with or without any such security or indemnity. SECTION 6.11. Other Transactions in Securities of the Company. The Warrant Agent in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner of the Warrants or other securities of the Company, or become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Warrant Agent under this Warrant Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Warrant Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. SECTION 6.12. Actions as Agent. The Warrant Agent shall act hereunder solely as agent and not in a ministerial capacity, and its duties shall be determined solely by the provisions hereof. The Warrant Agent shall not be liable for anything which it may do or refrain from doing in good faith in connection with this Agreement except for its own negligence or willful misconduct or bad faith. 29 34 SECTION 6.13. Appointment and Acceptance of Agency. The Company hereby appoints the Warrant Agent to act as agent for the Company in accordance with the instructions set forth in this Agreement, and the Warrant Agent hereby accepts the agency established by this Agreement and agrees to perform the same upon the terms and conditions herein set forth.

Capitalized terms that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Warrant Agreement (as hereinafter defined). The Warrant Price and, at the Company's option, either (1) the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable on the exercise of each Warrant or (2) the number of Warrants outstanding, are subject to adjustment in certain events as provided in the Warrant Agreement. In the event the Company elects to adjust the number of Warrants outstanding rather than the number of shares of Class B Common Stock purchasable on the exercise of each Warrant, the Company shall cause the Warrant Agent to distribute to registered holders of Warrant Certificates either Warrant Certificates representing any additional Warrants A-1 39 issuable pursuant to the adjustment or substitute Warrant Certificates to replace all outstanding Warrant Certificates in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement.

The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of the Warrants represented hereby to issue fractions of shares of Class B Common Stock, to distribute stock certificates that evidence fractional shares of Class B Common Stock or to issue Warrant Certificates representing fractional Warrants, but shall make adjustment in cash or scrip for any fraction of a share which the same registered holder of Warrants exercised in the same transaction would have been entitled to purchase on the basis of the then-current market value of any such fraction of a share (computed as provided in the Warrant Agreement). If the Warrants represented hereby shall be exercised in part, the registered holder hereof shall be entitled to receive, upon surrender hereof, another Warrant Certificate for the balance of the number of whole Warrants not exercised as provided in the Warrant Agreement. Commencing on the day after the Distribution Date, this Warrant Certificate may be exchanged either separately or in combination with other Warrant Certificates at the Warrant Agent's Office for new Warrant Certificates representing the same aggregate number of Warrants evidenced by the Warrant Certificate or Warrant Certificates exchanged, upon surrender of this Warrant Certificate and upon compliance with and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Warrant Agreement.

Nothing contained in the Warrant Agreement or in this Warrant Certificate shall be construed as conferring on the holder of any Warrants or his transferee any rights whatsoever as a stockholder of the Company. This Warrant Certificate shall not be valid unless countersigned manually by the Warrant Agent. The Warrant Agreement and each Warrant Certificate, including this Warrant Certificate, shall be deemed a contract made under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

The Company shall not be obligated to take any action to effect any registration pursuant to this Section 2.2: (i) after the Company has, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5(c), 10 14 effected (A) one (1) registration of Registrable Securities with respect to a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(i) and (B) two (2) registrations of Registrable Securities with respect to a registration requested pursuant to Section 2.2(a)(ii); and (ii) in any period during which the Company has suspended registration pursuant to the first proviso in Section 2.1(c). (c) GPA Demand Registration. If GPA exercises its right to a demand registration (the "GPA Demand") pursuant to Section 2.2 of the GPA Registration Rights Agreement, then the Company shall provide Investor and each of its Affiliates which have been designated by Investor by notice to the Company to be given notice of the GPA Demand (pursuant to the proviso to Section 11 or otherwise), with a copy of such demand within five (5) Business Days of its receipt thereof, and Investor may (but shall not be obligated to) provide the Company with a Notice of Demand pursuant to Section 2.2(a) within twenty-one (21) days of Investor's receipt of a copy of the GPA Demand and thereby void the GPA Demand and obligate the Company to effect a registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.2(a) (d) Notice to certain non-Requesting Holders. Upon receipt of any Notice of Demand from a Requesting Holder or any GPA Demand, the Company will give prompt (but in any event within fifteen (15) days after such receipt) notice to all Holders of Registrable Securities of such Notice of Demand or GPA Demand and of such Holders' rights under this Section 2.2. Upon the request of any such Holder made within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to effect the registration of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register pursuant to the Notice of Demand or GPA Demand. The participation of Investor, any Fidelity Fund, Lehman or any of their respective Affiliates or transferees, direct or indirect, in a GPA Demand pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall (i) be subject to the provisions of Section 2.3(a) and 2.3(c) hereof and (ii) with respect to Investor, or Fidelity shall not be considered a Notice of Demand pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and shall have no effect on such parties' right to provide the Company with a Notice of Demand pursuant thereto. (e) Priority in Demand Registrations. If (i) a registration pursuant to this Section 2.2 involves an underwritten offering of the securities being registered to be distributed (on a firm commitment basis) by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing under underwriting terms appropriate for such a transaction and (ii) the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall inform the Company and the Requesting Holder by letter of its belief that 11 15 the amount of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering within a price range acceptable to the Requesting Holder, then the Company will include in such registration such amount of securities which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering as follows: first, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of Investor, any Fidelity Fund, Lehman or their respective Affiliates pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties; second, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the direct or indirect transferees of Registrable Securities held by Investor, any Fidelity Fund, Lehman, or their respective Affiliates pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties; third, such securities requested to be included in such registration by GPA or any of its Affiliates, pursuant to the GPA Registration Rights Agreement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so included by such parties; fourth, such securities requested to be included in such registration by the direct or indirect transferees of securities held by GPA or any of its Affiliates, pursuant to the GPA Registration Rights Agreement, pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so included by such parties, and fifth, such Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by all other Holders pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties. 2.3 Piggyback Registration. (a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than by a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor or similar form then in effect and other than pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, with the exception of a registration pursuant to a GPA Demand) in a form and in a manner that would permit registration of the Registrable Equity Securities, whether or not for sale for its own account, it will give prompt (but in no event less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed date of filing the registration statement relating to such registration) notice to all Holders of Registrable Equity Securities of the Company's intention to do so and of such Holders' rights under this Section 2.3. Upon the request of any such Holder made within twenty (20) days after the receipt by such Holder of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Equity Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof) (the "Piggyback Registration Notice"), the Company will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to effect the 12 16 registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Equity Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the Holders thereof, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Equity Securities so to be registered, provided that if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any equity securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give notice of such determination to each such Holder and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Equity Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith as provided in Section 2.5(b)), without prejudice, however, to the right of Investor to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 2.2, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Equity Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities. No registration effected under this Section 2.3 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 (except for any right to demand registration which may be exercised pursuant to the last clause of subsection (i) of the preceding sentence) or shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration under such Sections. (b) Priority in Piggyback Registrations. If (i) a registration pursuant to this Section 2.3 (other than a registration made pursuant to a GPA Demand) involves an underwritten offering of the securities being registered, whether or not for sale for the account of the Company, to be distributed (on a firm commitment basis) by or through one or more underwriters of recognized standing under underwriting terms appropriate for such a transaction and (ii) the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall inform the Company and the Holders requesting such registration by letter of its belief that the amount of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company will include in such registration such amount of securities which the Company is so advised can be sold in (or during the time of) such offering as follows: first, all securities proposed by the Company to be sold for its own account; second, such Registrable Equity Securities requested to be included in such registration by Investor, Lehman, any Fidelity Fund or any of their respective Affiliates pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties; third, such Registrable Equity Securities requested to 13 17 be included in such registration by the direct or indirect transferees of Registrable Equity Securities held by Investor, Lehman, any Fidelity Fund or any of their respective Affiliates pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties; fourth, such securities requested to be included in such registration by GPA or any of its Affiliates pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties; fifth, such securities requested to be included in such registration by the direct and indirect transferees of such securities held by GPA or any of its Affiliates pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included by such parties; and sixth, all other securities of the Company requested to be included in such registration pro rata on the basis of the amount of such securities so proposed to be sold and so requested to be included. (c) Priority in Piggyback Registrations Pursuant to a GPA Demand.

At or prior to the date the SEC declares the Initial Shelf Registration Statement to be effective, the Company shall qualify the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of the Notes thereunder in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof. If notified by a nationally recognized rating agency that the Notes are being rated, the Company shall cooperate in providing information and making a presentation to such agency in connection therewith. 2.5 Registration Terms and Procedures. (a) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under Section 2.2 shall be on such appropriate registration forms of the SEC (i) as shall be acceptable to the Requesting Holder (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld) and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition. The Company agrees to include in any such registration statement all information that any Participating Holder shall reasonably request (to the extent such information relates to such Participating Holder).

(c) Effectiveness of Demand Registration. A registration will not be deemed to have been effected under Section 2.2 unless the registration statement with respect thereto has been declared effective by the SEC and, subject to the first proviso in Section 2.1(c) hereof and to Section 2.5(g)(vii) hereof, remains effective for the earlier of six (6) months (subject to extension as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 2.5(h)(ii)) or the distribution of the securities covered by such registration statement; provided, however, that if (i) after such registration statement has been declared effective, the marketing of Registrable Securities offered pursuant to such registration statement is materially disrupted or adversely affected as a result of any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court (for reasons other than a misrepresentation or omission by the Requesting Holder or any Participating Holder) or (ii) the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into 15 19 in connection with such registration have not been satisfied (for reasons other than a wrongful or bad faith act, omission or misrepresentation by the Requesting Holder or any Participating Holder), such registration statement will be deemed not to have become effective. If a registration pursuant to Section 2.2 is deemed not to have been effected hereunder, then the Company shall continue to be obligated to effect a registration pursuant to such Section. (d) Selection of Underwriter. If, in connection with a registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2, the Requesting Holder so elects, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Section shall be in the form of an underwritten offering. If the Requesting Holder so elects, it shall select one or more nationally recognized firms of investment bankers to act as the book-running managing underwriter or underwriters in connection with such offering, provided that such selection shall be subject to the consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify each other Person who participates (including as an underwriter) in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities hereunder, their officers and directors and each other Person, if any, who controls any such participating Person within the meaning of the Securities Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to Indemnified Parties. (b) Indemnification by the Sellers. Each Holder participating in a Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.1 agrees to (and the Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 2.2 or 2.3 and 25 29 as a condition to indemnifying such sellers pursuant to this Section 2.8, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each prospective seller of securities included in any such offering regarding its agreement to) indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.8) the Company, each director, officer, employee and agent of the Company, and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Shelf Registration Statement or other registration statement pursuant to which securities of such Holder are registered under the Securities Act (including all documents incorporated therein by reference), any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if (but only if) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such prospective seller specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that such prospective seller shall not be obligated to provide such indemnity to the extent that such Losses result, directly or indirectly, from the failure of the Company to promptly amend or take action to correct or supplement any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement based on corrected or supplemental information provided in writing by such prospective seller to the Company expressly for such purpose; and provided further, that the obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.8(b) shall be several, and not joint and several, among such indemnifying parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8(b) to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of any prospective seller under such indemnity be greater in amount than the amount of the proceeds received by such seller upon the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses relate. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent or participating or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such prospective seller. (c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.8, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, 26 30 give prompt written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.8, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (such assumption to constitute its acknowledgement of its agreement to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to such matters), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal fees or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, such indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; and provided, further, that, unless there exists a conflict of interest among indemnified parties, all indemnified parties in respect of such claim shall be entitled to only one counsel or firm of counsel for all such indemnified parties. In the event an indemnifying party shall not be entitled, or elects not, to assume the defense of a claim, such indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel or firm of counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party in respect of such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties in respect of such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of one additional counsel or firm of counsel for such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all Losses in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) would impose injunctive relief on such indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be subject to any Losses for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (d) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.8 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 27 31 (e) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 2.8 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, promptly as and when bills are received or Losses are incurred. (f) Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.8, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Loss (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, action or proceeding, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault 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 relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8(f) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.8(f) to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 2.9 Liquidated Damages. (a) If, (i) as of the Initial Effective Date, the Initial Shelf Registration Statement has been suspended or is not otherwise effective or (ii) as of the Secondary Effective Date, the Secondary Shelf Registration Statement has been suspended or is not otherwise effective, the Company shall pay liquidated damages to each Holder covered or to be covered by each such suspended or ineffective Shelf Registration Statement in an amount equal to (A) in the case of Registrable Debt Securities, $.10 per $1,000 outstanding principal amount of such Registrable Debt Securities and (B) in the case of Registrable Equity Securities, $.40 per 1,000 shares (or, in the case of any Warrant, $.40 per 1,000 shares based on the number of shares 28 32 issuable upon exercise of such Warrant), for each week specified in subsection (g) below. (b) If the suspension or ineffectiveness referred to in clause (a) above shall not have been cured within ninety (90) days after the Initial Effective Date or the Secondary Effective Date, as the case may be, the daily liquidated damages set forth in clause (a) above shall increase to an amount equal to (i) in the case of Registrable Debt Securities, $.15 per $1,000 outstanding principal amount of such Registrable Debt Securities and (ii) in the case of Registrable Equity Securities, $.65 per 1,000 shares (or in the case of any Warrant, $.65 per 1,000 shares based on the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), for each week specified in subsection (g) below. (c) If the suspension or ineffectiveness referred to in clause (a) above shall not have been cured within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Initial Effective Date or the Secondary Effective Date, as the case may be, the daily liquidated damages set forth in clause (a) above shall increase to an amount equal to (i) in the case of Registrable Debt Securities, $.20 per $1,000 outstanding principal amount of such Registrable Debt Securities and (ii) in the case of Registrable Equity Securities, $.90 per 1,000 shares (or in the case of any Warrant, $.90 per 1,000 shares based on the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), for each week specified in subsection (g) below. (d) If a stop order is imposed or if for any other reason the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement is suspended during the Shelf Period applicable to such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall pay liquidated damages to each Holder covered or to be covered by such Shelf Registration Statement in an amount equal to (i) in the case of Registrable Debt Securities, $.10 per $1,000 outstanding principal amount of such Registrable Debt Securities and (ii) in the case of Registrable Equity Securities, $.40 per 1,000 shares (or in the case of any Warrant, $.40 per 1,000 shares based on the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), for each week specified in subsection (g) below. (e) If the stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement referred to in clause (d) above shall not have been cured within ninety (90) days after such stop order was imposed or the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement was otherwise suspended, the daily liquidated damages set forth in clause (d) above shall increase to an amount equal to (i) in the case of Registrable Debt Securities, $.15 per $1,000 outstanding principal amount of such Registrable Debt Securities and (ii) in the case of Registrable Equity Securities, $.65 per 1,000 shares (or in the case of any Warrant, $.65 per 1,000 shares based on the number of 29 33 shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), for each week specified in subsection (g) below. (f) If the stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement referred to in clause (d) above shall not have been cured within one hundred and eighty (180) days after such stop order was imposed or the effectiveness of such Shelf Registration Statement was otherwise suspended, the daily liquidated damages set forth in clause (d) above shall increase to an amount equal to (i) in the case of Registrable Debt Securities, $.20 per $1,000 outstanding principal amount of such Registrable Debt Securities and (ii) in the case of Registrable Equity Securities, $.90 per 1,000 shares (or in the case of any Warrant, $.90 per 1,000 shares based on the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant), for each week specified in subsection (g) below. (g) The liquidated damages payable to any Holder set forth in this Section 2.9 shall begin accruing on the date on which the event triggering such liquidated damages occurs and shall cease to accrue on the earlier of the date after the SEC reinstates the effectiveness of the relevant Shelf Registration Statement or otherwise declares such Shelf Registration Statement to be effective and the date after the SEC declares effective a registration statement effected pursuant to Section 2.2 covering such Holder's Registrable Securities. The Company will pay the liquidated damages due with respect to any Registrable Securities at the end of each month during which such damages accrue. Liquidated damages shall be paid in immediately available funds by wire transfer to each Holder of at least ten percent (10%) of Registrable Equity Securities (but not less than an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common, Class B Common and shares issuable upon exercise of Warrants) or at least ten percent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of Registrable Debt Securities (but not less than $10 Million of aggregate principal amount of Registrable Debt Securities) entitled to receive such liquidated damages to the accounts designated by such Holders, and all other Holders entitled to receive such funds, shall be paid by check mailed to such other Holders at the address shown in the records of the Company for such Holders; provided that for purposes of this Section 2.9(g), all Fidelity Funds shall be considered a single Holder. (h) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 2.9, no liquidated damages shall be payable (i) during any period of time that (A) a Shelf Registration Statement or any replacement Shelf Registration Statement is suspended by the Company pursuant to the first proviso in Section 2.1(c), or (B) the Company is precluded from using or qualifying a Shelf Registration Statement as a result of a change to the rules or regulations of the SEC applicable thereto with which the Company is unable to comply after exercising Commercially Reasonable 30 34 Efforts to so comply; and (ii) to any party, if, as a result of such party's acts or omissions, the Company is precluded from using or qualifying a Shelf Registration Statement. (i) The parties hereto agree that (i) the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 2.9 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that will be suffered by each Holder covered or to be covered by a Shelf Registration Statement by reason of the failure of such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective and to remain effective in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) such liquidated damages shall be the sole remedy of each such Holder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.9. 3. Rule 144 and Rule 144A. (a) The Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and will take such further action as Investor, Lehman and/or any Fidelity Fund may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Investor, Lehman and/or such Fidelity Fund to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, (ii) Rule 144A or (iii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of Investor, Lehman and/or any Fidelity Fund, the Company will deliver to Investor, Lehman and/or such Fidelity Fund a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and will, at its expense, forthwith upon the request of Investor, Lehman and/or such Fidelity Fund, deliver to Investor, Lehman and/or such Fidelity Fund a certificate, signed by the Company's principal financial officer, stating (A) the Company's name, address and telephone number (including area code), (B) the Company's Internal Revenue Service identification number, (C) the Company's SEC file number, (D) the amount of shares of each class of capital stock outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the Company, and (E) whether the Company has filed the reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of such certificate and in addition has filed the most recent annual report required to be filed thereunder. (b) If at any time the Company is not required to file reports in compliance with either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company at its expense will, forthwith upon the request of Investor, Lehman and/or any Fidelity Fund, (i) make available adequate current public information with respect to the Company within the meaning of paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 144 and (ii) deliver the information required by Section (d) of Rule 144A (such information to be "reasonably current" within the meaning of Section (d)(4)(ii) of Rule 144A). 31 35 4. Term. This Agreement shall enter into force on the date hereof and shall continue in full force and effect, subject to Section 18 hereof, until the eighth (8th) anniversary of the date hereof. 5. Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified at any time; provided that each of (i) the Requisite Holders of each of the Registrable Equity Securities and the Registrable Debt Securities then outstanding and (ii) the Company has provided its written consent to such amendment, supplement or modification; provided, however, that no such amendment, supplement or modification which would prejudice the rights expressly granted to Fidelity or any Fidelity Fund as a named party hereto shall be effective without the written consent of Fidelity or such Fidelity Fund, as the case may be; and provided further, that no such amendment, supplement or modification which would prejudice the rights expressly granted to Lehman as a named party hereto shall be effective without the written consent of Lehman. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. 6. Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof (including, without limitation, Section 11 of the Investment Agreement) and contains the sole and entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 7. No Third-Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each party, their respective Successors or permitted assigns and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than (i) any Affiliate of Investor, Lehman, any Fidelity Fund, (ii) any transferee, direct or indirect, of any of the Registrable Securities held by Investor, Lehman, any Fidelity Fund or any of their respective Affiliates, or (iii) any other Person entitled to notice of the registration of Registrable Securities under Sections 2.2(d) or 2.3(a), to indemnity under Section 2.8 or to liquidated damages under Section 2.9. 8. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, (i) such provision will be fully severable, (ii) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as 32 36 if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (iii) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible. 9. Nominees for Beneficial Owners. In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of request or other action by any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any amount of shares of Registrable Securities held by any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner's beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities. For purposes of this Agreement, "beneficial ownership" and "beneficial owner" refer to beneficial ownership as defined in Rule 13d-3 (without regard to the 60-day provision in paragraph (d)(1)(i) thereof) under the Exchange Act. 10.

All notices, requests and other communications hereunder must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given only if (i) delivered personally, (ii) by facsimile transmission, (iii) by Federal Express or other nationally recognized courier service or (iv) mailed (first class postage prepaid) to the parties at the following addresses or facsimile numbers: If to the Company, to: America West Airlines, Inc. 4000 East Sky Harbor Boulevard Phoenix, Arizona 85034 Attention: William A.

Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective Successors (including, in the case of the Company, the Company as reorganized pursuant to the Plan) and permitted assigns. In addition, each of Investor, Lehman, any Fidelity Fund, and each of their respective Affiliates may assign any of its rights hereunder (in whole or in part) to one or more Affiliates or to one or more direct or indirect transferees of its Registrable Securities, provided, however, that any such assignment by Investor to one or more of its Affiliates which results in the liquidation of its entire interest in the Registrable Securities, either upon dissolution or otherwise, shall include a designation of the transferee Affiliate or Affiliates who shall thereafter have the right and authority to 35 39 exercise any notice or consent rights on the part of Investor set forth in this Agreement, and each other holder of Registrable Securities by means of an assignment by Investor shall be bound by the actions taken by such designated Affiliate(s), and provided further that any assignee which accepts the benefits of this Agreement shall be deemed to have accepted and be bound by all obligations on the part of the assignor hereunder. No such assignment shall be binding upon or obligate the Company to any such assignee unless and until (A) the Company shall have received notice of such assignment as herein provided, which notice shall (i) reference this Agreement and (ii) set forth the name and address of any assignee for the purpose of any notices hereunder or (B) such assignee can establish its beneficial or record ownership of any Registrable Securities and shall have provided the Company with the information called for by clause (A)(ii) of this Section 11. 12. Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and do not define or limit the provisions hereof or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. 13. Specific Performance. Except with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2.9, the parties agree that, to the extent permitted by law, (i) the obligations imposed on them in this Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and that in the event of a breach by any such party damages would not be an adequate remedy; and (ii) each of the other parties shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity. 14. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REFERENCE TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 15. Registration Rights to Others. Except for registration rights granted by the Company to GPA under that certain Registration Rights Agreement of even date herewith (the "GPA Registration Rights Agreement"), the Company shall not provide to any other holder of its securities rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders of each of the Registrable Equity Securities and the Registrable Debt Securities then outstanding, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not be applicable (i) to the grant by the Company of "piggyback" registration rights which are subordinate in priority to the rights of Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 2.2(d) and 2.3(b), and (ii) to any grant of 36 40 any demand registration rights by the Company after exercise or termination of all demand registration rights set forth in Section 2.2, provided, however, that in regard to any such grant of demand registration rights each of Investor, each Fidelity Fund, Lehman and each of their respective Affiliates shall have the right during the term of this Agreement to subscribe to or otherwise participate in such rights on equal terms, and on a pro rata basis, with the parties granted such rights. The Company represents and warrants that, other than as provided herein, it has not granted to any other Person rights with respect to the registration of any Registrable Securities or any other securities issued or to be issued by it. 16. Attorneys' Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees in addition to any other available remedy. 17. Limitation of Liability. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that (i) this Agreement is not executed on behalf of or binding upon any of the trustees, officers, directors, partners or shareholders of any Fidelity Fund individually, but is binding only upon the assets and property of each Fidelity Fund and (ii) the obligations of each Fidelity Fund hereunder are several and not joint. With respect to the obligations of any Fidelity Fund arising out of this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall look for payment or satisfaction of any claim solely to the assets and property of such Fidelity Fund. 18. Termination of Certain Rights. The rights and obligations hereunder of each of Investor, Lehman and each Fidelity Fund shall terminate with respect to such party at such time when neither it nor any of its respective Affiliates holds Registrable Securities, provided that the provisions of Section 2.8 hereof, the rights of any party hereto with respect to the breach of any provision hereof, and any obligation accrued as of the date of termination (including any obligation accrued under Section 2.9 hereof) shall survive termination of this Agreement. 19. No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company will not hereafter enter into, modify, amend or waive any agreement with respect to its securities if such agreement, modification, amendment or waiver would conflict with the rights granted pursuant to this Agreement to the Holders of Registrable Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 18 hereof, the Company will not amend, modify or waive, or permit the amendment, modification or waiver of Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 of the GPA Registration Rights Agreement without the prior written consent of the Requisite Holders of 37 41 each of the Registrable Equity Securities and the Registrable Debt Securities then outstanding, provided, however, that Investor and any of its Affiliates (other than Mesa) shall not participate in any such consent and that any Registrable Equity Securities or Registrable Debt Securities held by such parties shall not be taken into account for the purpose of such consent. 20. Requisite Holders. Each of the parties hereto agrees that the Company may, in connection with the taking of any action permitted to be taken hereunder with the consent or approval of the Requisite Holders of the Registrable Equity Securities or Registrable Debt Securities, rely in good faith on a certificate from any such holder or holders stating that it holds or is acting on behalf of a majority in interest of the Registrable Equity Securities or a majority in principal amount of the Registrable Debt Securities, as the case may be. 21. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 22. Repurchase Arrangement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that all rights of Fidelity Copernicus Fund, L.P. ("Copernicus") under this Agreement in respect of Registrable Debt Securities held by Copernicus shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Copernicus, Lehman Government Securities Inc. or any other transferee (including any counterparty) of such Registrable Debt Securities, in each case as contemplated by the repurchase arrangement described under "Plan of Distribution" as set forth in the Company's S-1 Registration Statement filed with the SEC on June 26, 1994, as amended, provided that the Company shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to any such Person other than Copernicus unless and until it shall have been provided the notice of assignment or information regarding ownership as set forth in Section 11 of this Agreement. 38 42 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date first above written.

In connection with the Company's obligations to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to effect such registration so as to permit the sale of any Registrable Securities 10 13 included in such registration in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible: (i) prepare and (as soon thereafter as practicable) file with the SEC the requisite registration statement containing all information required thereby to effect such registration and thereafter use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, provided that as far in advance as practicable before filing such registration statement or any amendment, supplement or exhibit thereto (but, with respect to the filing of such registration statement, in no event later than seven (7) days prior to such filing), the Company will furnish to the Participating Holders or their counsel copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (excluding exhibits, which shall be made available upon request by any Participating Holder), and any such Holder shall have the opportunity to object to any information contained therein and the Company will make the corrections reasonably requested by such Holder with respect to information relating to such Holder or the plan of distribution of the Registrable Securities prior to filing any such registration statement, amendment, supplement or exhibit;

(iii) furnish to each Holder covered by, and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of securities under, such registration statement such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each such amendment and supplement thereto (in each case excluding all exhibits and documents incorporated by reference, which exhibits and documents shall be furnished to any such Person upon request), such number of copies of the prospectus contained in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus and any summary prospectus) and any other prospectus filed under Rule 424 under the Securities Act relating to such Holder's Registrable Securities, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as such Holder, underwriter or agent may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(vi) furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement a signed counterpart, addressed to such Holder (and underwriter or agent, if any) of: (A) an opinion of counsel to the Company, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), and (B) unless otherwise precluded under applicable accounting rules, a comfort letter, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Company's financial statements included in such registration statement, in each case, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to such Holder (and underwriter or agent and their respective counsel) and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration statement (and the prospectus included therein) and, in the case of the accountants' letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements, as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer's counsel and in accountants' letters delivered to the underwriter or agent in underwritten public offerings of securities; (vii) promptly notify each Holder and any underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event known to the Company as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an 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 in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and promptly prepare and furnish to such Holder (or underwriter or agent, if any) a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the 12 15 purchasers of such securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; (viii) otherwise use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable (but not more than fifteen (15) months) after the effective date of the registration statement, an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder, and furnish to each Holder covered by such registration statement or any participating underwriter or agent at least five (5) business days prior to the filing a copy of any amendment or supplement to such registration statement or prospectus;

Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") of the National Market System of NASDAQ if the Registrable Securities so qualify; (xi) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the disposition of such Registrable Securities and their respective counsel in connection with any filings required to be made with the National Association of Securities Dealers; (xii) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to prevent the issuance by the SEC or any other governmental agency or court of a stop order, injunction or other order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement and, if such an order is issued, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause such order to be lifted as promptly as practicable; (xiii) take such other actions as the Requisite Holders of such Registrable Securities shall reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; (xiv) promptly notify each seller and the underwriter or agent, if any: (A) when such registration statement or any prospectus used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, has been filed and, with respect to such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; 13 16 (B) of any written comments from the SEC with respect to any filing referred to in clause (A) and of any written request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to such registration statement or prospectus; (C) of the notification to the Company by the SEC of its initiation of any proceeding with respect to, or of the issuance by the SEC of, any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement; and (D) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction; (xv) cooperate with each seller of Registrable Securities and each underwriter or agent participating in the distribution of such Registrable Securities to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (which shall not bear any restrictive legends, other than as required by applicable law) representing securities sold under a registration statement hereunder, and enable such securities to be in such denominations and registered in such names as such seller, underwriter or agent may request and keep available and make available to the Company's transfer agent, prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement, an adequate supply of such certificates; (xvi) not later than the effective date of such registration statement, provide a CUSIP number for all Registrable Securities covered by a registration statement hereunder; (xvii) incorporate in the registration statement or any amendment, supplement or post-effective amendment thereto such information as each Holder, the underwriter or agent (if any) or their respective counsel may reasonably request to be included therein with respect to any Registrable Securities being sold by such Holder to such underwriter or agent, the purchase price being paid therefor by such underwriter or agent and any other terms of the offering of such Registrable Securities; (xviii) during any period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, make periodic filings with the SEC pursuant to and containing the information required by the Exchange Act (whether or not the Company is required to make such filings pursuant to such Act); and (xix) in connection with an underwritten offering, participate, to the extent reasonably requested by the Requisite Holders or the managing underwriter for the offering, in customary efforts to sell the securities under the offering. (h) Agreements of Certain Holders. (i) Each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder, the Registrable Securities held by such Holder and the intended plan of distribution of such securities as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing in connection with such registration. If any registration statement refers to GPA or any of its Affiliates by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company, then such Holder shall have the right to require that such reference be in a form reasonably satisfactory to such Holder or in the event that 14 17 such reference to such Holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal or state blue sky statute and the rules and regulations thereunder then in force, the deletion of the reference to such Holder. (ii) Each Holder of Registrable Securities as to which any registration is being effected agrees, by acquisition of such Registrable Securities, that upon receipt of any notice ("a Suspension Notice") from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in clause (vii) of Section 2.5(g), such Holder will forthwith discontinue such Holder's disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement relating to such Registrable Securities until such Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by clause (vii) of Section 2.5(g) (the period from the date on which such Holder receives a Suspension Notice to the date on which such Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus being herein called the "Suspension Period"). The Company shall take such actions as are necessary to end the Suspension Period as promptly as practicable. In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the periods referred to in Section 2.5(c) and clause (ii) of Section 2.5(g) shall be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days of the Suspension Period. 2.5. Underwritten Offerings. (a) Underwritten Offerings in Connection with a Shelf or a Demand Registration. If requested by the underwriters for any underwritten offering in connection with a registration pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2, the Company will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriters for such offering, such agreement (i) to be satisfactory in substance and form to the Company and to GPA (so long as it or any of its Affiliates holds Registrable Securities to be included in such registration) and (ii) to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such Holders and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of such type, including, without limitation, indemnities to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 2.7. GPA (so long as it or any of its Affiliates holds Registrable Securities to be included in such registration) shall be a party to such underwriting agreement and may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for its benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to its obligations thereunder. (b) Underwritten Offerings in Connection with Piggyback Registrations. If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by Section 2.3 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by any Participating Holder and subject to Sections 2.3(b) and (c), arrange for such underwriters to include all of the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such Holder or Holders among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters. The Holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by such underwriters shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such underwriters, provided that such agreement is reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company and the Requisite Holders, and the Requisite Holders may, at their option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders and that any or all of the conditions prece- 15 18 dent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders thereunder. 2.6. Preparation; Reasonable Investigation. In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will give the Holders of Registrable Securities to be registered under such registration statement, their underwriters or agents, if any, and their respective counsel and accountants reasonable access to its books and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company with its officers and the independent public accountants who have certified its financial statements as shall be necessary, in the opinion of such Holders' and such underwriter s' or agents' respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act. 2.7. Indemnification. (a) Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each Holder participating in an offering provided for as described herein (including, without limitation, under the Shelf Registration Statement or any replacement Shelf Registration Statement), its directors, officers, shareholders, employees, investment advisers, agents and Affiliates, either direct or indirect (and each such Affiliate's directors, officers, shareholders, employees, investment advisers and agents), and each other Person, if any, who controls such Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act (each such Person, an "Indemnified Party"), from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, joint or several (each a "Loss" and collectively, "Losses"), to which such Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, to the extent that such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act (including all documents incorporated therein by reference), any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such Indemnified Party for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending against any such Loss, action or proceeding; provided that in any such case the Company shall not be liable to any particular Indemnified Party to the extent that such Loss (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such registration statement, any such preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Indemnified Party specifically for inclusion therein; and provided, further, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent it is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that any such Loss (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made (i) in any such preliminary prospectus, if (A) it was the responsibility of such Indemnified Party to provide the Person asserting such Loss with a current copy of the prospectus and such Indemnified Party failed to deliver or cause to be delivered a copy of the prospectus to such Person after the Company had furnished such Indemnified Party with a sufficient number of copies of the same prior to the sale of Registrable Securities to the 16 19 Person asserting such Loss and (B) the prospectus corrected such untrue statement or omission; or (ii) in such prospectus, if such untrue statement or omission is corrected in an amendment or supplement to such prospectus and such amendment or supplement has been delivered to the Indemnified Party prior to the sale of Registrable Securities to the Person asserting such Loss and the Indemnified Party thereafter fails to deliver the prospectus as so amended or supplemented prior to or concurrently with such sale after the Company had furnished such Indemnified Party (in accordance with the notice provisions contained in Section 10 for Persons who are parties to this Agreement) with a sufficient number of copies of the same for delivery to purchasers of securities. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Indemnified Party. The Company shall also indemnify each other Person who participates (including as an underwriter) in the offering or sale of Registrable Securities hereunder, their officers and directors and each other Person, if any, who controls any such participating Person within the meaning of the Securities Act to the same extent as provided above with respect to Indemnified Parties. (b) Indemnification by the Sellers. (i) The Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 2.1, 2.2 or 2.3 and as a condition to indemnifying such sellers pursuant to this Section 2.7, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from each prospective seller of such securities, and (ii) each Holder participating in the Shelf Registration Statement or any replacement Shelf Registration Statement agrees, to indemnify and hold harmless and reimburse (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.7) the Company, each director, officer, employee and agent of the Company, and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act (including all documents incorporated therein by reference), any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or summary prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if (but only if) such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such prospective seller specifically for inclusion therein; provided, however, that such prospective seller shall not be obligated to provide such indemnity to the extent that such Losses result, directly or indirectly, from the failure of the Company to promptly amend or take action to correct or supplement any such registration statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement based on corrected or supplemental information provided in writing by such prospective seller to the Company expressly for such purpose; and provided further, that the obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall be several, and not joint and several, among such indemnifying parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(b) to the contrary, in no event shall the liability of any prospective seller under such indemnity be greater in amount than the amount of the proceeds received by such seller upon the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses relate. Such indemnity shall 17 20 remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer, employee, agent or participating or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such prospective seller. (c) Notices of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.7, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give prompt written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action, provided that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 2.7, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof (such assumption to constitute its acknowledgement of its agreement to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to such matters), jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal fees or other expenses subsequently incurred by the latter in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that if, in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, such indemnified party shall be entitled to separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party; and provided, further, that, unless there exists a conflict of interest among indemnified parties, all indemnified parties in respect of such claim shall be entitled to only one counsel or firm of counsel for all such indemnified parties. In the event an indemnifying party shall not be entitled, or elects not, to assume the defense of a claim, such indemnifying party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel or firm of counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party in respect of such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party a conflict of interest exists between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties in respect of such claim, in which event the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of one additional counsel or firm of counsel for such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party shall, without the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that (i) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such indemnified party of a release from all Losses in respect of such claim or litigation or (ii) would impose injunctive relief on such indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall be subject to any Losses for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. (d) Other Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. (e) Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Section 2.7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, promptly as and when bills are received or Losses are incurred. (f) Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnity and reimbursement is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under paragraph (a) or (b) of 18 21 this Section 2.7, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Loss (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss, action or proceeding, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault 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 relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.7(f) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.7(f) to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 3. Rule 144 and Rule 144A. (a) The Company will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder and will take such further action as GPA may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable GPA to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, (ii) Rule 144A or (iii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of GPA, the Company will deliver to GPA a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and will, at its expense, forthwith upon the request of GPA, deliver to GPA a certificate, signed by the Company's principal financial officer, stating (A) the Company's name, address and telephone number (including area code), (B) the Company's Internal Revenue Service identification number, (C) the Company's SEC file number, (D) the amount of shares of each class of capital stock outstanding as shown by the most recent report or statement published by the Company, and (E) whether the Company has filed the reports required to be filed under the Exchange Act for a period of at least ninety (90) days prior to the date of such certificate and in addition has filed the most recent annual report required to be filed thereunder. (b) If at any time the Company is not required to file reports in compliance with either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company at its expense will, forthwith upon the request of GPA, (i) make available adequate current public information with respect to the Company within the meaning of paragraph (c)(2) of Rule 144 and (ii) deliver the information required by Section (d) of Rule 144A (such information to be "reasonably current" within the meaning of Section (d)(4)(ii) of Rule 144A). 4. Term. This Agreement shall be effective on the date hereof and, subject to Section 15 hereof, shall continue in full force and effect until the eighth (8th) anniversary of the date hereof. 5.

Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. 6.

RECITALS CAL and AWA are each certificated air carriers providing air transportation services in their respective areas of operation. CAL and AWA have entered into a "Code Sharing Agreement" whereby CAL will market its flight operations under the HP* designator code and AWA will market its flight operations under the CO* designator code. CAL and AWA each maintain frequent flyer programs, "OnePass" in the case of CAL and "FlightFund" in the case of AWA, whereby members of such programs earn reward miles for miles flown on the airlines participating in the program that may be redeemed for various travel related awards. CAL and AWA desire to allow members of their respective frequent flyer programs ("OP Members" in the case of CAL and "FF Members" in the case of AWA) to earn miles in their respective programs when members travel on flights operated by the other carrier that are utilizing its designator code. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein contained, CAL and AWA hereby agree as follows: 1. Mileage Accrual. CAL and AWA will permit OP Members to accrue the greater of [Confidential Portion Deleted] miles or the number of actual miles flown in OnePass for travel on flights that are designated as CO* Flights (as such term is defined in the Code Sharing Agreement) in the same manner as OP Members accrue miles in OnePass on CAL operated flights utilizing the CO designator code. AWA and CAL will permit FF Members to accrue the greater of [Confidential Portion Deleted] miles or the number of actual miles flown in FlightFund for travel on flights that are designated as HP* Flights (as such term is defined in the Code Sharing Agreement) in the same manner as FF Members accrue miles in FlightFund on AWA operated flights utilizing the HP designator code. 1 25 2. RECORDING OF MILEAGE CREDIT. a. AWA shall require each OP Member who desires to accrue mileage in OnePass and is traveling on a flight designated as a CO* Flight to submit a OnePass identification card (or such other indicia of membership as CAL may advise) prior to boarding any flight designated as a CO* Flight. CAL shall require each FF Member who desires to accrue mileage in FlightFund and is traveling on a flight designated as an HP* Flight to submit a FlightFund identification card (or such other indicia of membership as AWA may advise) prior to boarding any flight designated as an HP* Flight. b. Each carrier shall transmit to the other carrier by computer tape, or by means of data transmission (modem), all pertinent data necessary to enable each carrier to credit mileage. Each carrier shall provide this data in a format compatible with the other carrier's computer systems and upon receipt of such data shall credit the members' account. Data to be provided shall include member name and identification number, carrier code, date of travel, flight number, city pair and class of service booked and flown. The tape with this information will be delivered or transmitted daily as noted below: HP* activity tapes to: America West Airlines 1930 West University, 52N-ISD Tempe, Arizona 85281 Attn: Tape Librarian CO* activity tapes to: Electronic Data Systems Tape Librarian 9014 Research Drive Charlotte, North Carolina 28262 If transmissions are via modem, carriers will establish mutually agreeable procedures. c. Individuals who are members of the frequent flyer programs of both carriers will not be permitted to accrue miles in both programs for travel on the same flight. Such members shall only be permitted to accrue miles in the program of the carrier of their election. 2 26 d. Miles earned by members for flights on Shared Code Segments will be treated by each carrier in the same manner as any other miles earned or redeemed in such carrier's program. 3. MILEAGE CHARGE, PAYMENT AND RECONCILIATION. a. Mileage Charge. AWA will pay to CAL, in accordance with 3.b. below, an amount equal to the number of actual miles flown by OP Members electing to receive OnePass miles on flights designated as CO* Flights, multiplied by $[Confidential Portion Deleted]. CAL will pay, in accordance with 3.b. below, to AWA an amount equal to the number of actual miles flown by FF Members electing to receive FlightFund miles on flights designated as HP* Flights, multiplied by $[Confidential Portion Deleted]. b. Payment. Beginning the first full month that this Agreement is in effect, and each month thereafter, each carrier will pay the other carrier, through the Airline Clearing House, the amount due pursuant to 3.a. above for actual miles flown during the previous month. Neither carrier will invoice the other carrier for miles until after such time as the miles have been actually posted. c. In no case will either carrier be required to pay the other carrier, pursuant to Section 3.b., more than $500,000 during any calendar year, provided that if a carrier is owed more than $500,000 during a calendar year and the other carrier does not pay the carrier an amount equal to the deficiency within 30 days of demand thereof, the carrier that is owed money may terminate this Agreement by providing the other carrier with 120 days notice of such termination. d. Each carrier will provide a monthly report to the other carrier which tracks the number of miles posted to its members' accounts for activity related to Shared Code Segments. This report will contain the number of (i) actual and bonus miles posted (e.g. minimum miles, class of service, double miles, elite member bonuses, etc.), (ii) city pair, (iii) ticket booking code (Y, F, Q, etc.), (iv) miles rejected, and (v) retroactive mileage credited. Additionally, a printout of rejected and retroactively credited transactions will accompany this report. Such report shall be furnished 30 days after the end of the monthly period for which such report relates. e. Requests by members of either carrier's frequent flyer program made after the date of travel for mileage on Shared Code Segments during the most recent six (6) month period will be processed by the Service Center of the carrier that operates the frequent flyer program in which the member seeks to accrue miles on an on-going basis. The number of retroactive requests that are credited will be processed by each carrier on a weekly basis. Miles will be added retroactively only when a copy of the ticket and original boarding pass or ticket jacket is received by the Service Center. Such documents will be maintained for one (1) year so that each carrier has the ability to audit them at its reasonable request. 3 27 f. In the event that an original boarding pass or ticket jacket is not provided, retroactive credit will only be credited after a member's request is reviewed by both carriers and procedural steps have been taken to ensure that a member does not receive credit for a single transaction in both programs. 4. MILEAGE REDEMPTION. [Confidential Portion Deleted] 5. REWARD TRAVEL CHARGES, PAYMENT AND RECONCILIATION. a. Reward Travel Charge. [Confidential Portion Deleted] b. Reward Travel Payment. Each month during the term hereof, AWA will pay CAL, through the Airline Clearing House, the amount due pursuant to 5.a. above for reward travel during the previous month. c. Reward Travel Reconciliation. Each carrier will comply with the ticket reconciliation and accounting procedures set forth in Exhibit C hereto. 6. PROGRAM RULES. a. CAL's obligation to provide OnePass miles to OP Members is subject to the OP Members' compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the OnePass Members' Guide, as such may be amended and supplemented by CAL from time to time. AWA's obligation to provide FlightFund miles to FF Members and to permit FF Members to redeem FlightFund miles for reward travel on flights operated by CAL is subject to the FF Members' compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in the FlightFund Members' Guide, as such may be amended and supplemented by AWA from time to time. b. Each carrier will seek written approval from the other carrier of substantial changes to program rules, award levels and copy that affect the other carrier. Neither carrier will unreasonably withhold its approval or substantive comments as to the sufficiency of any advertising copy of the other. 4 28 7. Advertising and Promotional Efforts. During the term of this Agreement, and at no cost to the other carrier, either carrier, on a periodic basis, may actively promote its participation in the other carrier's frequent flyer program. a. The carriers may choose to advertise such participation in various media, which may include, but not be limited to, print, radio, television and member communications. b. All copy generated must receive prior written approval by the carrier's designee. c. It is agreed that any advertising or promotion which contains any trademark, service mark or copyright of either carrier will be appropriately identified as a registered trademark, service mark or copyright. d. Direct access to and use of either carrier's membership name lists, including preferred status members, for cross marketing purposes outside of the usual program communications, are subject to further discussion and are not a part of this Agreement. e. The carriers agree to meet and discuss short and long term marketing plans. 8. Additional Frequency Marketing Opportunities. a. CAL and AWA agree that this travel relationship is not an exclusive Agreement. Therefore, each carrier, at its discretion, may maintain and promote other airline relationships through its frequent flyer program. b. While this Agreement addresses the terms and conditions for participation in each carrier's frequent flyer program, both carriers agree to explore other joint possibilities of developing and implementing additional marketing relationships, programs and strategies designed to create incremental demand for each carrier's products and services. Separate fees may be required for such participation and will not conflict in any way with this Agreement or the Code Sharing Agreement between both carriers. 9. Continuation of Programs. Nothing herein contained shall obligate either carrier to continue operation of its frequent flyer program and either carrier may terminate its program without penalty by providing the other carrier with 180 days' advance notice of such program termination. 5 29 10. Program Administration and Reward Ticket Issuance. a. Each carrier shall administer its frequent flyer program and all rules and regulations that apply to its members. Reward ticket issuance procedures will be mutually agreed upon by both carriers. b. Each carrier reserves the right to alter its frequent flyer program at any time and in any manner consistent with this Agreement, but shall not modify or amend the mileage accrual or reward levels which affect the other carrier without advance notice. c. Each carrier will be responsible for communicating directly with its frequent flyer members to resolve problems regarding reward travel on the other carrier. However, the carriers will cooperate to the extent reasonable and necessary to resolve any customer service issues involving reward travel. d. Both carriers will take prompt and reasonable steps to train their customer service and accounting personnel regarding the other carrier's program. This training will include how to: capture and track transactions, issue reward tickets for travel on the other carrier, refer a passenger regarding specific program information and execute any other customer service that supports the frequent flyer programs. This training will include initial as well as recurrent efforts to ensure administrative efficiency. 11. Future Review a. The carriers will meet on an annual basis and review the charges hereunder for redeemed and accrued miles to determine whether the charges should be adjusted or not. In addition, if the frequent flyer program of either carrier changes such that the charges hereunder do not produce the results contemplated herein, the carriers, upon request by the carrier operating the unchanged program, will meet to determine whether the charges should be adjusted or not. If, pursuant to meetings held pursuant to this Section it is determined that adjustment of the charges is necessary, the carriers shall negotiate in good faith to determine what charges are unable to agree on appropriate charges, the dispute will be submitted to a committee consisting of an equal number of members of each carrier's senior management for final resolution. b. If, during the first 90 days after program members are able to accrue or redeem miles pursuant this Agreement, either carrier receives a significant number of complaints from its frequent flyer program members concerning its participation in this Agreement, then, upon written notice from the carrier receiving 6 30 the complaints within 30 days after the end of such 90 day period, the carriers will meet to discuss the action that must be taken in order to correct the problem(s) that gives rise to the complaints. If the carriers are unable to agree on a solution, the carriers will submit the dispute to a committee consisting of an equal number of members of each carrier's senior management for final resolution. 12. INDEPENDENT PARTIES. It is expressly recognized and agreed that each carrier, in its performance and otherwise under this Agreement, is and shall be engaged and acting as an independent contractor and in its own independent and separate business; that each carrier shall retain complete and exclusive control over its staff and operations and the conduct of its business; and that each carrier shall bear and pay all expenses, costs, risks and responsibilities incurred by it in connection with its obligations under this Agreement. Neither CAL nor AWA nor any officer, employee, representative, or agent of CAL or AWA shall in any manner, directly or indirectly, expressly or by implication, be deemed to be, or make any representation or take any action which may give rise to the existence of, any employment, agent, partnership, of other like relationship as between CAL and AWA but each carrier's relationship as respects the other carrier in connection with this Agreement is and shall remain that of an independent contractor. 13. INDEMNITY. Each carrier agrees to indemnify, reimburse and hold harmless the other carrier and its directors, officers, employees and agents (collectively, the "Indemnified Party") from and against any claim (including, without limitation, those based on strict liability and tort), losses, liabilities, demands, suits, judgments, causes of action, awards or decisions in all judicial, administrative or arbitration proceedings, whether civil or criminal, penalties, fines and other sanctions and any costs or expenses in connection therewith, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, which result from, are based upon or arise in any manner out of (i) air transportation provided by the indemnifying carrier, (ii) the promotion of either frequent flyer program or the indemnified carrier by the indemnifying carrier (it being understood that the foregoing indemnification shall not extend to any promotion by the indemnifying carrier of the indemnified carrier that is approved by the indemnified carrier), (iii) any breach of this Agreement, or (vi) the administration of the indemnifying carrier's frequent flyer program. Each carrier shall give the other carrier prompt notice of any claim made or suit instituted against it which, if successful, would result in indemnification by the other carrier hereunder, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to compromise or participate in the defense of same to the extent of its own interest. 14.

RECITALS CAL and AWA are each certificated air carriers providing air transportation services in their respective areas of operation. CAL and AWA are each capable of providing various ground handling services, including customer service, ramp service line maintenance, maintenance of ground support equipment and aircraft cleaning, and have the facilities and equipment necessary to perform such services (collectively, the "Services") at airports where they operate. CAL and AWA each desire to consolidate various ground handling services, facilities and equipment at airports where both airlines operate in order to take advantage of certain synergy opportunities. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein contained, CAL and AWA hereby agree as follows: 1 42 1. DEFINITIONS. a. Handling Company: The airline providing the Services. b. Carrier: The airline receiving the Services. 2. SERVICES TO BE PROVIDED AND LOCATIONS. The airlines will mutually determine what Services will be provided by one airline for the other airline at locations where both airlines conduct air carrier operations. The locations where both airlines conduct operations are set forth in Exhibit A hereto. The factors that will be considered in determining which airline provides Services at a particular location will be the number of flights that each airline operates at the location, the overall savings that may be realized, the presence of third party constraints, the number of locations that an airline provides or is likely to provide Services for the other airline, and any legitimate business concerns. The Services to be provided at each location shall be described according to Annex A of the SGHA of April 1993, and attached hereto as Exhibit C. 3. PRICING. [Confidential Portion Deleted] 2 43 [Confidential Portion Deleted] 3 44 [Confidential Portion Deleted] b. The Handling Company shall provide full disclosure of the costing of services to the Carrier upon request. c. For purposes of Section 3.a. hereof, the incremental cost to the Handling Company of providing the Services will be the sum of the costs below that are incremental to the Handling Company as a result of providing the Services for the Carrier, and for purposes of Section 3.a.(1) hereof, the applicable mark up shall be as indicated below. (1) [Confidential Portion Deleted] (2) [Confidential Portion Deleted] 4 45 (3) [Confidential Portion Deleted] (4) [Confidential Portion Deleted] (5) [Confidential Portion Deleted] (6) [Confidential Portion Deleted] (7) [Confidential Portion Deleted] 5 46 (8) [Confidential Portion Deleted] d. In addition to the payment referred to in Section 3.a. hereof, the Carrier shall pay the Handling Company a fee for the use of non-incremental facility space equal to one half the difference between (i) the monthly cost of rent and facility maintenance and operating charges that the Carrier incurred prior to the Handling Company's commencing providing Services for the Carrier at a location and (ii) the monthly direct cost of incremental facilities plus any amount of monthly rent and facility maintenance and operating cost that the Carrier is required to pay at such location for space that is not being used as a result of the Handling Company's providing Services for the Carrier. e. Handling in the case of technical landings for other than commercial purposes will be charged at 50% of the average turn rate provided that a physical change of load is not involved. 6 47 f. Handling in case of return to ramp will not be charged extra, provided that a physical change of load is not involved. g. Handling in case of return to ramp involving a physical change of load will be charged in the same manner as in the case of technical landing in accordance with Sub-Paragraph 3.e. h. The Carrier will reimburse the Handling Company for any overtime expense incurred as a result of the Carrier operating a flight, the actual departure time of which is more than two (2) hours later than scheduled departure time.

This Agreement may not be amended, nor may any of its provisions be waived, except by writing signed by both airlines.

PROCEDURES: Within ninety (90) days from the Effective Date, the parties will begin substantive discussions to (i) develop a formal process for evaluating projects, (ii) develop a mechanism to develop a procedure to track Technology transfers and (iii) develop guidelines to identify the benefits that may be realized by each of the parties from the cooperative exchange of technology. Status Reviews. Each party shall designate an individual as a representative to meet on no less than a semi-annual basis to (i) review the status of ongoing projects, (ii) identify objectives for joint development projects. Specific Technology licensing and joint development efforts will be documented and the exchange of information will be pursuant to a master technology transfer and licensing agreement, the form of which shall be agreed upon by the parties. 4. TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER: The party obtaining Technology ("Recipient") shall be responsible for all costs of implementation of the technology in its organization. The party providing the technology ("Provider") shall grant such licenses that are reasonably commercially appropriate. Each project pursuant to which one party licenses technology to the other party shall include, without limitation, specific terms with respect to (i) Technology to be licensed, (ii) deliverables, (iii) tasks to be performed by each party and, (iv) approximate schedule for completion of each task and the transfer process, (v) estimated out-of-pocket expenses to be paid by the receiving party. 2 84 In the event that the Technology to be transferred or any part of the Technology is third party software, the party providing such software shall be under no obligation to make such Technology available to the receiving party without obtaining the third party's permission for such transfer. The receiving party shall be solely responsible for obtaining all necessary rights from such third party and shall be solely responsible for all cost related thereto. The providing party, upon request of the receiving party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain said permission from the third party, but shall not be required to incur any out of pocket expenses to do so. In the event that the receiving party is unable to obtain the necessary rights from the third party, the providing party will be under no further obligation with respect to such Technology. 5. DEVELOPMENT: In the event a party is planning a stand-alone information systems development project estimated to cost more than $200,000.00 the planning party will notify the other party. The parties will undertake to determine whether a joint development activity would be beneficial to both parties. If a joint development project is determined to be beneficial, the parties will enter good faith negotiations leading to an agreement to proceed jointly with the project. If the parties cannot reach an agreement to jointly develop the project, that decision shall be documented with defined reasons for the decision and signed by both parties. Each development project to which the parties agree shall include, without limitation, specific terms with respect to (i) description of the software to be developed, (ii) the deliverables, (iii) the tasks to be performed by each party, (iv) the projected time schedule for completing each task and project, (v) resources each party will provide, and (vi) costs of which each party will be responsible. 3 85 6. SYNERGY BENEFITS: The parties understand that the goal for both parties is to identify Technology transfers that will synergistically benefit both parties. The synergy benefits need not be equal for both parties. The parties shall determine such synergy benefits as follows: Technology Transfer Benefits. The primary benefit to the receiving party from a Technology transfer shall be the difference between the fair market value of the Technology transferred and the costs incurred by the receiving party. The fair market value shall be the lesser of the cost of acquiring similar technology from a third party and the cost of developing similar technology internally. The secondary benefit to the receiving party shall be the reduction in implementation costs and time resulting from the existence of an operational technology and the use of existing training materials, cut-over strategies or test systems. This secondary benefit shall be determined by evaluating the time and implementation cost savings, if any, and the benefits associated with the implementation of the Technology as are identified in the business justification supporting such implementation. Joint Development Benefits. In the event the parties mutually agree to carry out joint development projects, the synergy benefit to either party shall be the difference between that party's portion of the shared costs and the costs which would have been incurred by that party had that party undertaken the development on a stand-along basis. Annual Benefits Determination. At the end of each calendar year, the senior information technology executives of both parties or their designated representatives, shall jointly quantify the synergy benefits to each party for that year. 4 86 7. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION: The parties hereto understand that the Technology of each will be considered confidential information proprietary to the party supplying the information. All information deemed proprietary by the supplying party shall be marked "Confidential and Proprietary" to place the receiving party on notice as to the nature of the information. Any information provided by the supplying party marked confidential and proprietary shall not be deemed confidential information should that information (i) be lawfully in the public domain, (ii) generally known and disclosed to the receiving party, lawfully by a third party, (iii) be lawfully in the receiving party's possession prior to the receiving party's receipt of the information pursuant to this agreement, or (iv) independently developed by the receiving party and such independent development is factually documented. Confidentiality. Each party will safeguard the proprietary and confidential materials supplied to it by the other party to the same degree and extent that the party safeguards its own proprietary and confidential information of the same or similar nature. Confidential and Proprietary information received by a party shall not be disclosed to any third party without the prior consent of the party providing the Confidential and Proprietary information. The party receiving the Confidential and Proprietary information will disseminate the information only to those employees who have the need to know the contents of such information to discharge their employment duties. Non-Disclosure Agreements. Each party acknowledges that Confidential and Proprietary information will be exchanged pursuant to Technology transfer projects between the parties. The transfer of confidential information on each project shall be pursuant to a Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement, the terms of which shall be agreed upon by the parties. 5 87 Ownership. All Confidential and Proprietary information of a party shall remain the property of owning or developing party. 8. TERM AND TERMINATION Term.

(b) All published schedules to be operated by Contractor pursuant to Section 2.01(a) above or to add new markets other than those listed in Section 2.01(a) above must be submitted to AWA at least 30 days prior to the effective date of such schedule. Contractor agrees that in the development of its schedules, it shall consult with AWA and use its best reasonable efforts to ensure that the primary needs of both local and connecting traffic in AWA markets are being met. AWA shall not have the right to approve or disapprove such schedules. AWA retains the right to withhold the use of its code, logo or trademarks from any flight operated by the Contractor. AWA shall timely file Contractor's code-shared schedules with its own schedules in accordance with industry standards provided Contractor's schedules are timely received by AWA. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.01, Contractor shall be entitled to operate additional services under its own name in the markets covered by this Agreement; provided that any aircraft used in providing such services shall not bear AWA's logo or markings. (d) Contractor shall be the sole and exclusive air carrier authorized by AWA to operate as AMERICA WEST EXPRESS (or operate by similar AWA turbo-prop feeder-operation-designation) for all AMERICA WEST EXPRESS flights serving the Phoenix hub. In consideration of their exclusive air carrier status, Contractor shall have a right of first refusal to institute any new services (cities or flights) which are forecast by AWA to be profitable. Such services shall be inaugurated within 90 days of recommendation by AWA. If Contractor refuses to provide the requested service, AWA shall have the right to contract with another carrier to operate that route as an AMERICA WEST EXPRESS, provided that the service shall be the same as that proposed to Contractor. Contractor shall have the right of first refusal to provide service to any additional major cities or hubs wherein AWA may desire to establish a code-sharing agreement. Contractor shall have 30 days from the time it is offered the additional agreement to accept or decline such opportunity. If accepted, Contractor shall have 120 days to prepare itself to fulfill its obligations at the additional city or hub. (e) Contractor may withdraw from, reduce service, or suspend service in any of its AMERICA WEST EXPRESS markets listed in Section 2.01(a) after [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION DELETED] Contractor shall then give 30 days' notice to AWA of its desire to affect service to that market. 2 4 (f) Inauguration of services listed in Section 2.01(a) will be accomplished according to the transition schedule contained in Exhibit A, made a part of this agreement and attached hereto.

The Contractor shall provide the paint and other materials for the exterior aircraft decor and AWA shall paint the aircraft in its painting facility. Any change to the exterior color decor and pattern of the aircraft subsequent to the original design shall be made at the expense of AWA. AWA understands that the flowage of Contractor's aircraft prevents Contractor from painting all of its aircraft in AWA colors. Contractor will attempt to maximize the utilization of AWA painted aircraft on code-shared routes. AWA understands that on occasion an AWA-colored aircraft may be used in Contractor's "Mesa" system due to aircraft flowage requirements. In addition to the use of the AWA Trademarks on its aircraft, Contractor shall use and display a suitable sign on the exterior of its aircraft identifying Contractor as the operator of the services being provided pursuant to this Agreement. The use and display of such sign shall be in compliance with any applicable FAA rule or directive, shall be visible to passengers approaching the aircraft for boarding and shall be subject to the prior written approval of AWA as to its nature, size and location on Contractor's aircraft.

(5) as to policies of insurance described in paragraph 4 above of said Section 7.03(a), to provide that said Aircraft Hull Insurance shall be on an agreed value basis, and shall not be subject to more than 8 10 the standard market deductibles without the consent of the other party; in the event of loss, settled on the basis of a total loss, all losses shall be payable in full; (6) as to any insurance obtained directly from foreign underwriters, to provide that the non-covered party may maintain against the covered party's underwriters a direct action in the United States upon said insurance policies and to this end provide a standard service of suit clause designating a United States attorney in Phoenix, Arizona or Farmington, New Mexico. (b) The Contractor shall cause each of the insurance policies referred to in Section 7.03 to be duly and properly endorsed to provide that said policy or policies or any part or parts thereof shall not be cancelled, terminated or materially altered, changed or amended by the insurance underwriters until after 30 days' written notice to the other party, which 30-day notice period shall commence to run from the date such notice is actually received by the other party.

(d) In the event the Contractor fails to maintain in full force and effect any of the insurance and endorsements described in Sections 7.03 and 7.04, AWA shall have the right (but not the obligation) to procure and maintain such insurance or any part thereof. The cost of such insurance shall be payable by the defaulting party to the other upon demand. The procurement of such insurance or any part thereof by the Contractor does not discharge or excuse the defaulting party's obligation to comply with the provisions of Sections 7.03 and 7.04. The Contractor agrees not to cancel, terminate or materially alter, change or amend any of the policies referred to in Section 7.03 until after providing 30 days' advance written notice to AWA of its intent to so cancel, terminate or materially alter, change or amend said policies of insurance, which 30-day notice period shall commence to run from the date notice is actually received by the party.

AWA shall bill Contractor for such Service Charges through the Clearing House referred to in Article 3 in accordance with the procedures set forth in the currently effective Manual of Procedures issued by said Clearing House, but in no event later than the 28th day of month following the month in which services were provided. In the event Contractor fails to pay AWA in full all Service Charges payable hereunder when due, Contractor agrees to pay to AWA, in addition to such Service Charges, interest on the unpaid balance of such Service Charges computed at the rate per annum of one percent (1%) plus the prime rate which the Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association) from time to time charges at its principal office in New York on short-term loans to large businesses with the highest credit standing, with a minimum rate per annum of 10 percent, from the due date thereof to the date of payment. It is hereby mutually agreed and understood by the parties hereto that the aforesaid Service Charges [CONFIDENTIAL PORTION DELETED] AWA will use only the personnel in its employ and the equipment and facilities which it owns or leases. In the event AWA is required to employ, retain or otherwise furnish additional personnel or obtain, by purchase, 9 11 lease or otherwise any additional facilities or equipment, or incur in any manner whatsoever any expenses or disbursements in connection with its performance of this Agreement in excess of the personnel, facilities or equipment being provided in the normal course of business, Contractor shall reimburse AWA in full, through the Clearing House for the actual costs of such additional personnel, facilities and/or equipment, and for any actual expenses or disbursements incurred by AWA in connection with its performance under this Agreement; provided that, prior to incurring any such additional costs or expenses or making any such disbursements, AWA shall first obtain a written approval therefor from Contractor. (b) All payments and/or reimbursements contemplated in this Article shall be deemed to be in addition to and not in lieu of any other payments and/or reimbursements required of either party hereto by other articles of this Agreement. Section 8.02 Records and Reports (a) Upon either party's request, and until such time as the party advises the other that such reports are no longer necessary, each party shall furnish to the requesting party, within 60 days following the close of the first three fiscal quarters of the party, unaudited financial statements including the party's current corporate balance sheets and profit and loss statements, and within 120 days after the close of its fiscal year, each party shall furnish the other with audited financial statements of such party (or its parent company) including, either separately or on a consolidated basis, the balance sheet and profit and loss statements of that party. The appropriate reports filed on Form 10-Q or 10-K shall be satisfactory to fulfill such obligation. (b) Each party shall also promptly furnish the other with a copy of every report that it prepares and is required to submit to the FAA, National Transportation Safety Board ("NTSB") or any other governmental agency, relating to any accident or incident involving an aircraft used by it in performing services under this Agreement, when such accident or incident is claimed to have resulted in the death of or substantial injury to any person or the loss of, damage to, or destruction of any property. (c) Each party shall promptly notify the other in writing of (i) any change in or relinquishment of control of it, (ii) any agreement contemplating such a change or relinquishment with a copy of such agreement, if in writing, to the other party, or (iii) any change or contemplated change in the Chief Executive Officer position of it. ARTICLE 9 -- EFFECTIVE DATE, TERMINATION AND CANCELLATION Section 9.01 Effective Date and Term (a) This Agreement will become effective on October 1, 1992 and will continue in effect thereafter for a period of ten years, unless it is terminated at an earlier date pursuant to one or more of the provisions of this Article 9. The AMERICA WEST EXPRESS service described in Section 2 shall commence on the dates specified in Section 2 and the applicable reservations and ticketing services shall be made available 30 days in advance of the start of such services. (b) In the event there is any change in the statutes governing the economic regulation of air transportation, or in the applicable rules, regulations or order of the DOT or some successor agency or department of the government having jurisdiction over air transportation which change or changes materially affect the rights and/or obligations presently in force with respect to the air transportation services of AWA or Contractor, or both, then the parties hereto will consult, within 30 days after any of the occurrences described herein, in order to determine what, if any, changes to this Agreement are necessary or appropriate, including but not limited to, the early termination and cancellation of this Agreement. If the parties hereto are unable to agree whether any change or changes to this Agreement are necessary and proper, or as to the terms of such changes, or whether this Agreement should be cancelled in light of the occurrences described above, and such failure to reach agreement shall continue for a period of 30 days following the commencement of the consultations provided for by this Section 9.01(c), then this Agreement may be cancelled by either AWA or Contractor upon providing the other party a minimum of 90 days' written notice of such cancellation. 10 12 Section 9.02 Termination (a) In addition to the foregoing provisions of this Article, this Agreement may be cancelled or terminated by either AWA or Contractor if there is an assignment of this Agreement or any of its rights, duties or obligations created hereunder with respect to any party to this Agreement without the written consent of the other party. In the event that this Agreement is assigned, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without such consent having been given in writing, the party not making the assignment shall have the right immediately to terminate the Agreement by telegraphic or written notice to the other party. If AWA merges, combines or consolidated with another carrier, or if substantially all of AWA's assets are acquired by another carrier and the "HP" designator code or the AMERICA WEST EXPRESS will thereafter not be used for the services of AWA or such other carrier at the Hub, Contractor shall have the right to use, in accordance with this Agreement, such replacement or substitute designator code and related trademarks as are utilized by AWA or such other acquiring or new carrier for its primary services at the Hub. A merger, combination, or consolidation by or with another person, company or corporation by Contractor shall be considered an assignment by Contractor; provided, however, a merger, combination, or consolidation by or with a subsidiary or affiliate of Contractor or with another corporation in which Contractor is the surviving corporation and in which there is no substantial change in the ownership or control of Contractor shall not be considered an assignment by Contractor. (b) Recognizing that AWA is presently operating as a Chapter 11 company, under reorganization, in the event that Contractor shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or that proceedings in bankruptcy shall be instituted against it and such party shall be adjudged bankrupt, or that a court shall take jurisdiction of such party and its assets pursuant to proceedings brought under the provisions of any federal reorganization act, or that a receiver of such party's assets shall be appointed and such taking or appointment shall not be stayed or vacated within a period of 60 days, or if AWA should change to a Chapter 7 proceeding or re-enter bankruptcy after its discharge from its current bankruptcy, the other party may thereupon terminate this Agreement by 15 or more days' prior written notice to the other party. (c) Except as otherwise provided herein, if either party shall fail to perform, keep, and observe any of the terms, covenants or conditions herein contained on the part of such party to be performed, kept or observed, the non-breaching party may give the breaching party notice in writing to correct such condition or cure such default and, if any such condition or default shall continue for 30 days after the receipt of such notice by the breaching party and, if within such period of time the breaching party has not prosecuted with diligence the correction of such condition or default, the non-breaching party may then terminate this Agreement upon 15 or more days' prior written notice, and this Agreement shall thereupon cease and expire at the end of such 15 or more days in the same manner and to the same effect as if it were the expiration of the original term. (d) If either party is required by the FAA or DOT to suspend a substantial portion of its operations for any safety reason, and has not resumed a major portion of such operations hereunder within 30 days of suspension, the other party may terminate this Agreement upon five or more days' prior written notice. (e) AWA, in addition to the other provisions of this section and Section 9.01 above, may terminate this Agreement upon not less than 30 days' written notice to the other party hereto should any one of the following conditions occur during the time this Agreement is in effect: (1) if, during any two consecutive calendar months during the life of this Agreement, Contractor's flight completion factor shall fall below 97% due to cancellations attributable to maintenance or operational deficiencies within Contractor's normal management control; (2) if, for any two consecutive calendar months during the life of this Agreement, Contractor's on-time performance falls below the lower of either: a.) 75 percent of arrivals within 15 minutes; or b.) AWA's actual on-time performance during the same period; (3) if, Contractor fails to comply with the trademark license provisions of Article 11 of this Agreement; 11 13 (f) Either AWA or Contractor may terminate this Agreement without cause at any time after the third year from the effective date hereof upon 180 days' written notice to the other party. (g) Any early termination or cancellation of one or more of the provisions of this Article 9 shall not be construed so as to relieve any party hereto of any debts or monetary obligations to the other party that shall have accrued hereunder prior to the effective date of such termination or cancellation. Section 9.03 Force Majeure Neither AWA nor Contractor shall be liable for any failure to perform under this Agreement if such failure is due to causes beyond its control, including, but not limited to, acts of God or the public enemy, fire, floods, epidemics, quarantine or strikes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to the obligations described under Article 7 of this Agreement. ARTICLE 10 -- USE OF CONTRACTOR'S AIRCRAFT In the event that aircraft owned and/or operated by Contractor bearing the AMERICA WEST EXPRESS are available and can be utilized without adversely affecting in any manner the regular scheduled services operated pursuant to Section 2, such aircraft may be used: (1) for non-scheduled planeload passenger charters; or (2) for scheduled or non-scheduled services limited to the transportation of freight and/or mail in markets other than the markets described in Section 2.01; or (3) on an emergency basis in operations in other parts of Contractor's system not covered by this Agreement. ARTICLE 11 -- TRADEMARK LICENSE FOR OPERATIONS TO BE CONDUCTED BY CONTRACTOR PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT Section 11.01 Grant of Trademark License Contractor will conduct all operations described in Section 2 above, and any additional operations undertaken by subsequent amendment hereto under the servicemark "AMERICA WEST EXPRESS" and shall utilize the AMERICA WEST EXPRESS Servicemarks consisting of the exterior color decor and patterns on its aircraft as prescribed by AWA. AWA hereby grants to Contractor a non-exclusive, non- transferable license to use such AMERICA WEST EXPRESS Servicemarks in connection with the services to be rendered by Contractor under this Agreement; provided, however, that subject to the provisions of Section 202(b) hereof, at any time during the life of this Agreement, AWA may alter, amend or revoke the license hereby granted and require Contractor's use of any new or different AWA Servicemarks in conjunction with the air transportation services provided hereunder as AWA may determine in the exercise of its sole discretion and judgment. Section 11.02 Terms and Conditions Governing Trademark License (a) Contractor hereby acknowledges AWA's ownership of the AWA Servicemarks, further acknowledges the validity of the AWA Servicemarks, and agrees that it will not do anything in any way to infringe or abridge AWA's rights in its Servicemarks or directly or indirectly to challenge the validity of the AWA Servicemarks. (b) Contractor agrees that, in providing the services to be provided under this Agreement in conjunction with one or more of the AWA Servicemarks, it will conform to such customer service standards (including professional appearance guidelines and uniform standards; ground equipment appearance standards; ticket counter and gate area image standards; and other reasonable quality control measures) as may be reasonably prescribed by AWA either specifically in this Agreement or by subsequent communications to Contractor. AWA shall have the rights, through such agents or representatives as it may designate, to inspect the services and standards being performed by Contractor under this Agreement, and in the event that, in AWA's opinion, 12 14 there has been some deviation from such services and/or standards, Contractor agrees upon written notice from AWA to rectify promptly any such deviation. (c) Contractor shall not, without AWA's express written consent, advertise the services to be rendered hereunder, nor make use of the AWA Servicemarks referred to in Section 11.01 above in any advertising. AWA shall have absolute discretion to withhold its consent concerning any and all such advertising and use of the AWA Servicemarks in advertising by Contractor. In the event AWA approves the use of such AWA Servicemarks in any advertising, such advertising shall identify AWA as the owner of such servicemark(s), and to the extent that any mark is registered, shall so specify. (d) To the extent that Contractor is licensed to use the mark "AMERICA WEST EXPRESS," Contractor will use said mark only in the mark "AMERICA WEST EXPRESS" and then only in conjunction with the services specifically embraced by this Agreement. (e) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give Contractor the exclusive right to use the AWA Servicemarks, or to abridge AWA's right to use and/or to license its Servicemarks, and AWA hereby reserves the right to continue use of the AWA Servicemarks as AWA may desire. (f) No term or provision of this Agreement shall be construed to preclude the use of the servicemarks "AMERICA WEST EXPRESS" or the aircraft exterior color decor and patterns by other individuals or corporations not covered by this Agreement so long as such use does not place such persons so authorized in direct competition with Contractor in the markets covered by this Agreement, subject to Contractor's right of first refusal set forth in Article 2. (g) Should this Agreement be cancelled or otherwise terminated for any reason as set forth in Article 9 hereof, the AWA Servicemarks shall revert to AWA and shall not thereafter be used by Contractor in connection with any operations of Contractor. ARTICLE 12 -- ENTIRE AGREEMENT, AMENDMENT, NOTICES AND TITLES Section 12.01 Entire Agreement and Amendments (a) This Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties hereto unless subsequently amended as hereinafter provided, and said Agreement shall not be modified or cancelled by mutual agreement or in any manner except by an instrument in writing, executed by the parties or their respective successors in interest. (b) The parties hereto may by mutual agreement amend any provision of this Agreement, or delete or add any provision to this Agreement by an instrument in writing, executed by each of the parties or their authorized representatives or successors in interest.
