number of important exceptions and qualifications.

|
default in any payment of interest on any Note when due, continued for 30 days; |

default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, on any Note when due; |

|
any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, ceases to be in full force and effect, is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or is denied or disaffirmed by its maker. |
If an event of default under the Indenture occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the
principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on the Notes to be due and payable, or, in the case of
