Defaults and Remedies
 
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default relating to the bankruptcy provisions) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of outstanding Securities by notice to the Issuer may, and if such notice is given by the Holders such notice shall be given to the Issuer and the Trustee, declare that the principal of, and the premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on, all the Securities is due and payable.  Upon such a declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default relating to the bankruptcy provisions occurs, the principal of, and the premium, if any, and accrued but unpaid interest on, all the Securities will become and be immediately due and payable, without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.  Under certain circumstances, the Required Holders may rescind any such acceleration with respect to the Securities and its consequences.
 
If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss or expense and certain other conditions are complied with.  Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Securities unless (i) such Holder gives the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default is continuing, (ii) the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, (iv) the Trustee does not comply with such request within 60 days after the receipt of the request and the offer of security or indemnity and (v) the Required Holders do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request during such 60-day period.  Subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Indenture , the Required Holders may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee.  The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or, subject to the Indenture, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability.  Prior to taking any action under the Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.
 
16.
Trustee Dealings with the Issuer
 
Subject to certain limitations imposed by the TIA, the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
 
17.
No Recourse Against Others
 
No director, officer, employee, manager or incorporator of or holder (other than the Issuer or a Guarantor in relation to Capital Stock of a Guarantor) of any Capital Stock in, the Issuer or any Guarantor or any direct or indirect parent companies of the Issuer, if any, will have any liability for any obligations of the Issuer or the Guarantors under the Securities, the Indenture or the Guarantees or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.  The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities.  The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
