Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power
and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or
hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to

with respect to which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has
established appropriate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or applicable Subsidiary. The Company knows of no basis
for any other tax or assessment that could, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals
and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of U.S.
federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The U.S.
federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been
finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of
limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year
ended 2011. 52410969 -7-

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases. The Company and its Subsidiaries have
good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in
the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most
recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have
been acquired by the Company or any Subsidiary after such date (except as sold
or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free
and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or
in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and
effect in all material respects. Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) The
Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises,
authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks,
trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the
aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others. (b) To
the best knowledge of the Company, no product or service of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit,
franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark,
trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person. (c) To the best
knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any
right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any license,
permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software,
service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Company
or any Subsidiary. Section 5.12. Compliance with Employee Benefit Plans. (a) The
Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in
compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance
as have not resulted in and could not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the
Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I
or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to
employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event,
transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such
liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any
Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to section
430(k) of the Code or to any such penalty or excise tax provisions under the
Code or federal law or section 4068 of ERISA or by the granting of a security
interest in connection with the amendment of a Plan, other than such liabilities
or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material. (b) The
present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans
(other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most
recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for
funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not
exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such
benefit liabilities by more than $0 in the case of any single Plan and by more
than $0 in the aggregate for all Plans. The term “benefit liabilities” has the
meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and
“present value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA. 52410969 -8-

(c) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal
liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under

benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company’s most recently
ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715-60, without regard to liabilities
attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of
the Company and its Subsidiaries is not Material. (e) The execution and delivery
of the Note Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not
involve any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of
ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section
4975(c)(1)(A)- (D) of the Code. The representation by the Company to each
Purchaser in the first sentence of this Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon
and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as
to the sources of the funds to be used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to
be purchased by such Purchaser. (f) The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have
any Non-U.S. Plans. Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Other than
the offering of the Existing Notes pursuant to the Existing Note Purchase
Agreement in accordance with Section 5.13 of the Existing Note Purchase
Agreement, neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the
Notes or any similar Securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy the
Notes or any similar Securities from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in
respect thereof with, any Person other than the Purchasers, each of which has
been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor
anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would
subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of
section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any
Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Section 5.14. Use of
Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of
the Notes to repay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured
Credit Facility and the Senior Unsecured Credit Facility, to pay fees and
expenses in connection with this Agreement and for general corporate purposes.
No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used,
directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock
within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading
in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a
violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or
dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). No value of
the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries is attributed to
margin stock and the Company does not have any present intention to acquire
margin stock. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of
buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation
U. 52410969 -9-

regularly scheduled dates of payment. (b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15,

Indebtedness. (c) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, or
otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing
Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto

to receive paper copies of such forms, financial statements, other information
and Officer’s Certificates or to receive them by e-mail, the Company will
promptly e-mail them or deliver such paper copies, as the case may be, to such
holder. SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES. Section 8.1. Maturity.
As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof. Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments
with Make-Whole Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided
below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in
an amount not less than $1,000,000 (or an integral multiple of $100,000 in
excess thereof) of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding
in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid,
and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to
such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice
of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Company
and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 17.
Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the
principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in
accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date
with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by
a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole
Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such
notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such
computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall
deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer
specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified
prepayment date. 52410969 -19-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme026.jpg]
Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial
prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the
Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time
outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. Section 8.4.
Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to
this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and
become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with
interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable
Make-Whole Amount. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to
pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest
and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, as aforesaid, interest on such principal
amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be
surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note
shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. Section
8.5. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate
to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of
the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in
accordance with this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel
all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment
of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution
or exchange for any such Notes. Section 8.6. Make-Whole Amount. The term
“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the
excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with
respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called
Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than
zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms
have the following meanings: “Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note,
the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has
become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section
12.1, as the context requires. “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the
Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining
Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective
scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount
factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the
Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called
Principal. “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of
any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the
“Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may
replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued
actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a
maturity equal to the 52410969 -20-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme027.jpg]
Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If
there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to
such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be
determined by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent
yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating
linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently
issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities
(1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to
and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be
rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the
applicable Note. If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of
such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then
“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note,
the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury
constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have
been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date
with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release
H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant
maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant
maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield
to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S.
Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than
such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so
reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The
Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears
in the interest rate of the applicable Note. “Remaining Average Life” means,
with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing
(i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by
multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with
respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the
basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two
decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled
Payment. “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest
thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its
scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which
interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the
next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such
Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1. “Settlement Date”
means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such
Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is
declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the
context requires. 52410969 -21-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme028.jpg]
Section 8.7. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or
the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) except as set forth in clause
(y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a
Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including
the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such
next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole
Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note)
that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the
computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. Section
8.8. Change of Control Prepayment Offer. (a) Notice of Change of Control or
Control Event. The Company will, within 10 Business Days after any Responsible
Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change of Control or Control
Event, give written notice of such Change of Control or Control Event to each
holder of Notes. In the case that a Change of Control has occurred, such notice
shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes as described in
subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.8 and shall be accompanied by the certificate
described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.8. (b) Offer to Prepay Notes.
The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.8
shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.8,
all, but not less than all, the Notes held by each holder (in this case only,
“holder” in respect of any Note registered in the name of a nominee for a
disclosed beneficial owner shall mean such beneficial owner) on a date specified
in such offer (the “Proposed Prepayment Date”) that is not less than 10 Business
Days and not more than 30 days after the date of such offer (if the Proposed
Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Proposed Prepayment
Date shall be the 30th day after the date of such offer). (c) Acceptance;
Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to
this Section 8.8 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the
Company at least five Business Days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. If
the offer is so accepted by any holder of Notes, the Company at least three
Business Days prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date shall give written notice to
each holder of Notes that has not so accepted the offer, in which notice the
Company shall (i) state the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Notes in
respect of which the offer has been accepted and (ii) renew the offer and extend
the time for acceptance by stating that any holder of Notes may yet accept the
offer, whether theretofore rejected or not, by causing a notice of such
acceptance to be delivered to the Company at least five Business Days prior to
the Proposed Prepayment Date, in which case the Proposed Prepayment Date shall
be extended to the extent necessary to account for the renewed offer. A failure
by a holder of Notes to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this
Section 8.8 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such
holder. (d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this
Section 8.8 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes at par
(without any Make-Whole Amount) together with interest accrued thereon to the
prepayment date selected by the Company. The prepayment shall be made on the
Proposed Prepayment Date. 52410969 -22-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme029.jpg]
(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this
Section 8.8 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior
Financial Officer of the Company and dated the date of such offer, specifying:
(i) the Proposed Prepayment Date; (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this
Section 8.8; (iii) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid; (iv)
the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to
the Proposed Prepayment Date; and (v) in reasonable detail, the nature and date
of the Change of Control or Control Event. Section 9. Affirmative Covenants.
From the date of this Agreement until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any
of the Notes are outstanding, the Company covenants that: Section 9.1.
Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.11, the Company will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or
governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including
ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and
regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain
in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental
authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to
the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary
to ensure that non- compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules
or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses,
certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of
its Subsidiaries to, maintain, with insurers with an AM Best rating of not less
than A XIII, (a) insurance with respect to their respective properties and
businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such
terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-
insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is
customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same
or a similar business and similarly situated, (b) adequate public liability
insurance against tort claims that may be incurred by any Note Party, and (c)
such other insurance as may be required by law, except, in the case of clauses
(b) and (c), where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The
Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or
cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair,
working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all
times, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Company or any
Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its
properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business
and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually
or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

[a1041notepurchaseagreeme030.jpg]
Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Company will, and will cause each
of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any
jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on
such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies
imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the
extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become
delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have
or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary,
provided that neither the Company nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax,
assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity
thereof is contested by the Company or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good
faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company or Subsidiary has
established appropriate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or applicable Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all
such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or
in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject to Section 10.4, the Company will
at all times preserve and keep its corporate existence in full force and effect.
Subject to Section 10.4, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full
force and effect the organizational existence of each of its Subsidiaries
(unless merged into the Company or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and
franchises of the Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith
judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in
full force and effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Section 9.6.
Books and Records. The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all
applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory
jurisdiction over the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The
Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep books, records
and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect all transactions
and dispositions of assets. The Company and its Subsidiaries have devised a
system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect
all transactions and dispositions of assets and the Company will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system. Section 9.7.
Subsidiary Guarantors. (a) The Company will cause (x) each Significant
Subsidiary (unless federal or state regulatory requirements prohibit such
Significant Subsidiary from becoming a Subsidiary Guarantor), concurrently with
or prior to the delivery of the financial statements set forth in Section 7.1(a)

Lien upon any of its property or assets to secure any Material Credit Facility
(other than the Senior Secured Credit Facility), whether now owned or hereafter

shall be deemed automatically amended to include such amendment or modification
without any further action on the part of the Company or any of the holders;
provided, that in no event shall such an amendment be deemed automatically

REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC. Section 12.1. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default
with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than
an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in

compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances. Section
12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been
declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note
at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such
holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any
Note or Subsidiary Guaranty, or for an injunction against a violation of any of
the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time
after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b)
or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and
annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all
overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and the applicable Make-Whole
Amount on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason
of such 52410969 -37-

declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and the applicable

interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company
nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by
reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than
non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such
declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d)
no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due
pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section
12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or
impair any right consequent thereon. Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of
Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any
holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a
waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guaranty
or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power
or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company
under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such
holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements. SECTION 13.

any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of
the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such
register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s
option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment,

hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the
contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an
Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct
copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes. Section
13.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Company
at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified
in Section 18(iii)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case
of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s

part thereof), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and
deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new
Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate

The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or
governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes
shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that
if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire
holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any

be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional
Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably
satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee
for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth
of at least $25,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own
unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or (b) in
the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, within 10
Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and
deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date
to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated
Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.

Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment
shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the
principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction. Section 14.2.
Payment by Wire Transfer. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the
holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in
such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such
Note for principal, the applicable Make-Whole Amount, interest and all other
amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for
such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in the Purchaser Schedule, or by such
other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall 52410969 -39-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme046.jpg]
have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose,
without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation
thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with
or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such
Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after
any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the
place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section
14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or
its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the
amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been
paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or
Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this
Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect
transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that
has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in
this Section 14.2. Section 14.3. FATCA Information. By acceptance of any Note,
the holder of such Note agrees that such holder will with reasonable promptness
duly complete and deliver to the Company, or to such other Person as may be
reasonably requested by the Company, from time to time (a) in the case of any
such holder that is a United States Person, such holder’s United States tax
identification number or other forms reasonably requested by the Company
necessary to establish such holder’s status as a United States Person under
FATCA and as may otherwise be necessary for the Company to comply with its
obligations under FATCA and (b) in the case of any such holder that is not a
United States Person, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including
as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation as may be necessary for the Company to comply with its obligations
under FATCA and to determine that such holder has complied with such holder’s
obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount (if any) to deduct and
withhold from any such payment made to such holder. Nothing in this Section 14.3
shall require any holder to provide information that is confidential or
proprietary to such holder unless the Company is required to obtain such
information under FATCA and, in such event, the Company shall treat any such
information it receives as confidential. SECTION 15. EXPENSES, ETC. Section
15.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby
are consummated, each Note Party will pay all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by
the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and
each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in
connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of any
Note Document (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes
effective), including: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or
defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under
any Note Document or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or
informal investigative demand issued in connection with any Note Document, or by

financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out
or restructuring of the transactions contemplated the Note Documents and (c) the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme047.jpg]
expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and
all related documents and financial information with the SVO provided, that such
costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed $5,000. If required by
the NAIC, the Company shall obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense a
Legal Entity Identifier (LEI). Each Note Party will pay, and will save each
Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, (i) all claims in
respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other
than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with
its purchase of the Notes), (ii) any and all wire transfer fees that any bank or
other financial institution deducts from any payment under such Note to such
holder or otherwise charges to a holder of a Note with respect to a payment
under such Note and (iii) any judgment, liability, claim, order, decree, fine,
penalty, cost, fee, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
or obligation resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated
the Note Documents, including the use of the proceeds of the Notes by the
Company. Section 15.2. Certain Taxes. The Company agrees to pay all stamp,
documentary or similar taxes or fees which may be payable in respect of the
execution and delivery or the enforcement of each Note Document (other than the
Notes) or the execution and delivery (but not the transfer) or the enforcement

Company or any other Note Party has assets or of any amendment of, or waiver or
consent under or with respect to, any Note Document, and to pay any value added
tax due and payable in respect of reimbursement of costs and expenses by the
Company pursuant to this Section 15, and will save each holder of a Note to the
extent permitted by applicable law harmless against any loss or liability
resulting from nonpayment or delay in payment of any such tax or fee required to
be paid by Note Parties. Section 15.3. Survival. The obligations of the Note
Parties under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note,
the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of any Note Document, and
the termination of this Agreement or any other Note Document. SECTION 16.
SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. All
representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Note Documents, the purchase
or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein
and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of
a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such
Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any
certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document shall be deemed
representations and warranties of the Note Parties under the Note Documents.
Subject to the preceding sentence, the Note Documents embody the entire
agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Note Parties and
supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. 52410969 -41-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme048.jpg]
SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Section 17.1. Requirements. This Agreement,
the Notes and the other Note Documents may be amended, and the observance of any
term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or
prospectively), only with the written consent of the Note Parties party thereto
and the Required Holders, except that: (a) no amendment or waiver of any of
Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used
therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such
Purchaser in writing; (b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written
consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding,
(i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the
amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate
or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the
Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal
amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any
amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in
the second sentence of Section 8.2 and Section 17.1(c)), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or
20; and (c) Section 8.5 may be amended or waived to permit offers to purchase
made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the
time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions only with the written
consent of the Company and the Super-Majority Holders. Section 17.2.
Solicitation of Holders of Notes. (a) Solicitation. The Company will provide
each Purchaser and each holder of a Note with sufficient information,
sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such
Purchaser and such holder to make an informed and considered decision with
respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the
provisions hereof or any other Note Document. The Company will deliver executed
or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected
pursuant to this Section 17 or any other Note Document to each Purchaser and
each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and
delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Purchasers
or holders of Notes. (b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly
pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or
additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other
credit support, to any Purchaser or holder of a Note as consideration for or as
an inducement to the entering into by such Purchaser or holder of any waiver or
amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any other Note
Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is
concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same
terms, ratably to each Purchaser and each holder of a Note even if such
Purchaser or holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 52410969 -42-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme049.jpg]
(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this
Section 17 or any other Note Document by a holder of a Note that has transferred
or has agreed to transfer its Note to (i) the Company, (ii) any Subsidiary or
any other Affiliate or (iii) any other Person in connection with, or in
anticipation of, such other Person acquiring, making a tender offer for or
merging with the Company and/or any of its Affiliates (either pursuant to a
waiver under Section 17.1(c) or subsequent to Section 8.5 having been amended
pursuant to Section 17.1(c)), in each case in connection with such consent,
shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any
amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would
not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and
the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or
similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to
such holder. Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver
consented to as provided in this Section 17 or any other Note Document applies
equally to all Purchasers and holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon
each future holder of any Note and upon the Note Parties without regard to
whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such
amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant,
agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair
any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between any Note Party and
any Purchaser or holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights
hereunder or under any other Note Document shall operate as a waiver of any
rights of any Purchaser or holder of such Note. Section 17.4. Notes Held by
Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the
requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding
approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under any
Note Document, or have directed the taking of any action provided under any Note
Document to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage
of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or
indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to
be outstanding. SECTION 18. NOTICES. Except to the extent otherwise provided in

writing and sent (a) by email if the sender on the same day sends a confirming
copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service
(charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt
requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by an internationally recognized overnight
delivery service (charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: (i) if to any
Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified
for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule, or at such other address as
such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing, (ii)
if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other
holder shall have specified to the Company in writing, or 52410969 -43-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme050.jpg]
(iii) if to any Note Party, to the Company at its address set forth at the
beginning hereof to the attention of Rick Costello, or at such other address as
the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing. Notices
under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received. SECTION
19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. This Agreement, all other Note Documents and all
documents relating thereto, including (a) consents, waivers and modifications
that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the
Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements,
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any
Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic,
electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any
original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in
evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding
(whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such
reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and
any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall
likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the
Company, the Purchaser or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such
reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from
introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.
SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For the purposes of this Section 20,
“Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on
behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in
nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified
when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of the Company
or such Subsidiary, provided, however, that Purchaser acknowledges that any
financial or other information regarding current or future business, results of
operations or financial condition that has not been publicly released shall be
deemed to be Confidential Information and material non-public information,
provided, further, that such term does not include information that (a) was
publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such
disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission
by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise
becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or
any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such
Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each
Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in
accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect
confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided
that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its
directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to
the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the
investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and
other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential
Information substantially in accordance with this 52410969 -44-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme051.jpg]
Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor
to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any
participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt
of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person
from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Company (if such Person has
agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be
bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case,
any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that
requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or
(viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or
appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order
applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal
process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a
party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the
extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to
be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the
rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement, any Subsidiary
Guaranty or any other Note Document. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of
a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the
benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On
reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder
of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this
Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to
this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with
the Company embodying this Section 20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Purchaser acknowledges that the Company currently has a class of securities
registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act or is required to file reports
under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and as such, is the subject of
restrictions generally imposed by the United States securities laws, including
those imposed by Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated
thereunder, on the purchase or sale of securities by any person who has received
material, non-public information from the issuer of such securities and on the
communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably
foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities
in reliance upon such information. Each Purchaser acknowledges that any
Controlled Affiliate with access to Confidential Information is subject to
applicable securities laws that could restrict trading in any securities of the
Company (whether on their own behalf or by, through or in concert with any other
person) on the basis of, or while in possession of, any material non-public
information about the Company. In the event that as a condition to receiving
access to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection
with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement,
any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality
undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure
virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this
Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such
holder and the Company, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other
confidentiality undertaking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company agrees
that PGIM, Inc. or any Affiliate thereof may (i) refer to its role in
originating the purchase of the Notes from the Company, as 52410969 -45-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme052.jpg]
well as the identity of the Note Parties and the aggregate principal amount and
issue date of the Notes, on its internet site or in marketing materials, press
releases, published “tombstone” announcements or any other print or electronic
medium and (ii) display the corporate logo of the Company in conjunction with
any such reference. SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER. Each Purchaser shall
have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or
any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the
purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written
notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and
such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement
to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such
Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations
set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such
Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to
refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the
event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder
and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser
all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the
Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser
as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no
longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such
original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights
of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. SECTION 22.
MISCELLANEOUS. Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other
agreements contained in this Agreement and all other Note Documents by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their
respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note)
whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.4, no Note Party
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under any Note
Document without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this
Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person
(other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
reason of this Agreement. Section 22.2. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms
used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings
respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial
statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of
determining compliance with this Agreement (including Section 9, Section 10 and
the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Company to measure any
financial liability using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting
Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair
Value Option, International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be
disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not
been made. 52410969 -46-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
[a1041notepurchaseagreeme053.jpg]
Section 22.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law)
not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 22.4. Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be
construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of
each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant
shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse
compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action
to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such
provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or
indirectly by such Person. Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the
