Supplement for the benefit of the holders of such Additional Notes in accordance
with the provisions of Section 17;

except, in each case, as would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect;

transaction or condition has occurred or exists that would reasonably be
expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any

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 (if applicable), did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets
of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. The term “benefit

made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of each Purchaser’s
representation in Section 6.3 as to the sources of the funds to be used to pay
the purchase price of the Series 2012A Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser.

than the Purchasers and not more than thirty-one (31) other Institutional
Investors, each of which has been offered the Series 2012A Notes in connection
with a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor any one acting on
its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance
or sale of the Series 2012A 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

more than 5% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its
Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin
stock will constitute more than 5% of the value of such assets. 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.

Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any
principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary, and
no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or

SECTION 8. PAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1. Required Prepayments. The entire unpaid principal amount of the
Series 2012A Notes shall become due and payable on September 13, 2024.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments. 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 10% of the original aggregate principal amount
of the Notes to be prepaid in the case of a partial prepayment at 100% of the
principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date
of such prepayment, plus the Make Whole Amount determined for the prepayment
date with respect to such principal amount of each Note then outstanding. The
Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional
prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60
days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. 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 respective 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 each
such Make Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial
prepayment of the Notes, other than any offer of prepayment of the Notes
pursuant to Sections 8.7 or 8.8 that has been rejected by any holder or holders
of Notes, the aggregate 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. All regularly scheduled partial prepayments
made with respect to any Series of Additional Notes pursuant to any Supplement
shall be allocated as provided therein.

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

 

-21-

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

prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such
principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make Whole Amount, if
any. 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 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 (a) upon the payment or
prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
(including any Supplement) and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer 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. Any such offer shall
provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed
decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10
Business Days. If the holders of more than 25% of the principal amount of the
Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the
remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by
holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary
to give each such remaining holder at least 5 Business Days from its receipt of
such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes
acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase
of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued
in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.6. Make Whole Amount for the Series 2012A Notes. 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, minus 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 with respect to the Called Principal of such Note:

“Called Principal” means, the principal of the 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, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining
Scheduled Payments 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 such Note is payable) equal to the Reinvestment
Yield.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, 0.50% plus the yield to maturity calculated by using
(i) the yields reported, as of 10:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day preceding the Settlement Date on screen “PX 1” on the Bloomberg
Financial Market

 

-22-

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

Service (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg for the
most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having
a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of
such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or
the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of
interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the
latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business
Day preceding the Settlement Date, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15
(519) (or any comparable successor publication) for actively traded U.S.
Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average
Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.

In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case
may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if
necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent
yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating
linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity
closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable
U.S. Treasury security with the maturity 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, the number of years (calculated to the nearest
one twelfth year) 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 by (b) the number of years (calculated to the
nearest one twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date and the
scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, all payments of such Called Principal and
interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date 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 terms of such Note, 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 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, 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.

Section 8.7. Change in Control.

(a) Notice of Change in Control. The Company will, within 15 Business Days after
any Responsible Officer has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in
Control, give written notice of such Change in Control to each holder of Notes.
Such notice shall contain and constitute an offer to prepay Notes of each Series
as described in subparagraph (b) of this Section 8.7 and shall be accompanied by
the certificate described in subparagraph (e) of this Section 8.7.

 

-23-

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

(b) Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by
subparagraph (a) of this Section 8.7 shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance
with and subject to this Section 8.7, 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”), which date shall be not less than 20 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 20th day
after the date of such offer).

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to
prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a written notice of such
acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Company at least 10 Business Days
prior to the Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to timely
respond in writing to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 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 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together
with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment, but without any
Make-Whole Amount or other premium. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed
Prepayment Date.

(e) Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this
Section 8.7 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 8.7; (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; (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7
have been fulfilled; and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature and date or
proposed date of the Change in Control.

(f) “Change in Control” Defined. “Change in Control” means any of the following
events or circumstances:

(i) the France Family shall fail to own capital stock of the Company which
represents a majority of the voting power of the Company or (ii) during any
period of up to 12 consecutive months, commencing after the Closing Date,
individuals who at the beginning of such 12 month period were directors of the
Company (together with any new director whose election by the Company’s Board of
Directors or whose nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders was
approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office
who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or
nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to
constitute a majority of the directors of the Company then in office.

 

-24-

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

Section 8.8. Prepayment in Connection with Asset Sales. If the Company is
required, in accordance with Section 10.5, to offer to prepay the Notes using
the proceeds of a sale of a Substantial Part of the assets of the Company and
its Subsidiaries, the Company will give written notice thereof to each holder of
a Note, which notice shall describe such sale in reasonable detail and (a) refer
specifically to this Section 8.8, (b) specify the pro rata portion of each Note
being so offered to be so prepaid (determined based on the unpaid principal
amount of each Note in proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal of all Notes
at the time outstanding), (c) specify a date not less than 30 days and not more
than 60 days after the date of such notice (the “Asset Sale Prepayment Date”)
and specify the Asset Sale Response Date (as defined below) and (d) offer to
prepay on the Asset Sale Prepayment Date such pro rata portion of each Note,
together with interest accrued thereon to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date. Each
holder of a Note shall notify the Company of such holder’s acceptance or
rejection of such offer by giving written notice thereof to the Company on a
date at least 10 days prior to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date (such date 10 days
prior to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date being the “Asset Sale Response Date”),
and the Company shall prepay on the Asset Sale Prepayment Date such pro rata
portion of each Note held by the holders who have accepted such offer in
accordance with this Section 8.8 at a price in respect of each Note held by such
holder equal to 100% of the principal amount of such pro rata portion, together
with interest accrued thereon to the Asset Sale Prepayment Date but without any
Make-Whole Amount or other premium; provided, however, that the failure by a
holder of any Note to respond to such offer in writing on or before the Asset
Sale Response Date shall be deemed to be a rejection of such offer.

SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Law. Without limiting 10.8, 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,
without limitation, 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.

 

-25-

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

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers,
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 except for any non-maintenance that would not reasonably
be expected to have 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
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 would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

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 such taxes and assessments 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 not permitted by Section 10.4, provided that neither the Company nor
any Subsidiary need pay any such tax or assessment or claims 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 a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with
GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (ii) the non-filing or
nonpayment, as the case may be, of all such taxes and assessments in the
aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5. Corporate Existence, Etc. Subject to Sections 10.6, the Company
will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence. Subject to Sections 10.5 and 10.6 the Company will at all times
preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each of its
Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Company or a 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 legal existence, right or franchise would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Notes to Rank Pari Passu. The Notes and all other obligations under
this Agreement of the Company are and at all times shall remain direct and
unsecured obligations of the Company ranking pari passu as against the assets of
the Company with all other Notes from time to time issued and outstanding
hereunder without any preference among themselves and pari passu with all
Indebtedness outstanding under the Bank Credit Agreement and all other present
and future unsecured Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of the Company which is
not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any other unsecured
Indebtedness of the Company.

that is a Material Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary) to be a

constitutes the legal, valid and binding contract and agreement of such Person
enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as an enforcement of such terms
may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
equitable principles.

Section 9.8. 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

Company described in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 11 (other than an Event of
Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (h) or described in clause (vi) of
paragraph (h) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of
paragraph (h)) has occurred, all the Notes of every Series then outstanding
shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or
holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any
Series at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice
or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes of such Series then outstanding
to be immediately due and payable.

 

-35-

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

(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has
occurred and is continuing with respect to any Notes, any holder or holders of
Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time,
at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the
Notes held by such holder or holders to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Note’s becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether

protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company
acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the
right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company
(except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment
of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or
are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide
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 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 the Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less
than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any Series then
outstanding, 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 of such Series, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount on
any Notes of such Series that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by
reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and
Make-Whole Amount and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue
interest in respect of the Notes of such Series, 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 any Notes of such Series. 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.

 

-36-

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

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 or by 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, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’

such Series originally issued hereunder or pursuant to any Supplement. Each such

writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or

prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser or Additional 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

SECTION 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

All representations and warranties contained herein or in any Supplement shall
survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, such Supplement and the
Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser or any Additional Purchaser of
any such Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note
may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of any such Note, regardless of any
investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any
Additional Purchaser or any other holder of any such Note. All statements
contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of
the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Supplement shall be deemed
representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement; provided,
that the representations and warranties contained in any Supplement shall only
be made for the benefit of the Additional Purchasers which are party to such
Supplement and the holders of the Notes issued pursuant to such Supplement,
including subsequent holders of any Note issued pursuant to such Supplement, and
shall not require the consent of the holders of existing Notes. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement (including every Supplement) and the Notes
embody the entire agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the
Additional Purchasers and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and
understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

Section 17.1. Requirements. (a) This Agreement (including any Supplement) and
the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes
may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the
written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (i) no
amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21
hereof or the corresponding provision of any Supplement, or any defined term (as
it is used in any such Section or such corresponding provision of any
Supplement), will be effective as to any holder of Notes unless consented to by
such holder of Notes in writing, and (ii) no such amendment or waiver may,
without the written consent of all of the holders of Notes at the time
outstanding affected thereby, (A) subject to the provisions of 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 interest (if such change results in a
decrease in the interest rate) or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes,
(B) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of
which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (C) amend any
of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20.

(b) Supplements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
Company may enter into any Supplement providing for the issuance of one or more

-40-

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

Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the Notes
(irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient
information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to
enable 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, any Supplement or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or
true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes
promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or
receives the consent or approval of, the requisite 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 holder
of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any
holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions
hereof or any Supplement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or
security is concurrently granted or other credit support is concurrently
provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding
even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this
Section 17 by a holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed to transfer
its Notes to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company and has
provided or has agreed to provide such written consent as a condition to such
transfer 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 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is
binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company
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 the Company
and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or
under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such
Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall
mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

 

-41-

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

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 this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the
taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes 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.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and
sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of
such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or
(b) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such
notice must be sent:

(i) if to a Purchaser or such Purchaser’s nominee, to such Purchaser or such

Purchaser’s nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing pursuant to
this Section 18;

(ii) if to an Additional Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser’s nominee, to

(iii) 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 pursuant to this
Section 18, or

(iv) if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning
hereof to the attention of Chief Financial Officer, with a copy to the General
Counsel, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the

SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without
limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be
executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing or by any
Additional Purchaser (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial

electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser or such
Additional Purchaser may destroy any original document so

 

-42-

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

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 or such Additional 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 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 or any Additional 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 that such term does not include information that
(a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes
publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s or such Additional
Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser or such
Additional Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any
Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser
or such Additional Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly
available. Each Purchaser and each Additional Purchaser will maintain the
confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures
adopted by such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser in good faith to protect
confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser or such
Additional Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser
may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) such Purchaser’s or such
Additional Purchaser’s directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents,
attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to
the administration of the investment represented by such Purchaser’s or such
Additional Purchaser’s Notes), (ii) such Purchaser’s or such Additional
Purchaser’s financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold
confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the
terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any
Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser
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 the provisions of this Section 20),
(v) any Person from which such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser offers to
purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior

this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such Purchaser or such Additional Purchaser, (vii) the
National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or
any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information
about such Purchaser’s or such Additional 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,

 

-43-

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

rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in
connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser or such Additional
Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to the extent such Purchaser or such Additional 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 or such Additional Purchaser’s Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty and
this Agreement. 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 the provisions of this Section 20.

SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser and each Additional Purchaser shall have the right to substitute
any one of its Affiliates 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 or such Additional Purchaser and such Affiliate,
shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall
contain a confirmation by such Affiliate 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 or such Additional Purchaser in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in
lieu of such original Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser. In the
event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser or an Additional
Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original
Purchaser or such original Additional Purchaser all of the Notes then held by
such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any
reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” or an “Additional Purchaser” in
this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to
refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser or such
original Additional Purchaser, and such original Purchaser or such original
Additional 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 (including all covenants and other agreements
contained in any Supplement) by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind
and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including,
without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or
not.

Section 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or
the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement
in Section 8.4 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day
as the date fixed for such prepayment), any

 

-44-

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

payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due
on a date other than 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; provided that if the
maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment
otherwise due on such maturity date 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 22.3. 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 the covenants set out in
this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness
using fair value (as permitted by Accounting Standard Codification Topic
No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option or any similar accounting standard) shall be
disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not
been made. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the
contrary, the determination of whether a lease constitutes a capital lease or an
operating lease, and whether obligations arising under a lease are required to
be capitalized on the balance sheet of the lessee thereunder and/or recognized
as interest expense, shall be determined by reference to GAAP as in effect on
the date of this Agreement. If the Company notifies the Purchasers that it
wishes to amend any covenant in Sections 10.1, 10.2 or 10.3 to eliminate the
effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such covenant, then the
Company’s compliance with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP
in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became effective, until
either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner
satisfactory to the Company and the Required Holders.

Section 22.4. 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 22.5. Construction. 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.

For the avoidance of doubt, all Schedules and Exhibits attached to this
Agreement shall be deemed to be a part hereof.

 

-45-

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

Section 22.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall
constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies
hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties
hereto.

Section 22.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of
the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such
State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than
such State.

Section 22.8. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. (a) The Company
irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or
federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over
any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or
the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company
irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or
otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such
court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the
venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any
claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder
of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in
Section 22.8(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or
any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt
requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address
of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The
Company agrees that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every
respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or
proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be
taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.
Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a
delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable
commercial delivery service.

(c) Nothing in this Section 22.8 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note
to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the
holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in
the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a
judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d) THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN
CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Holders to

bound, hereby agrees for the benefit of the Holders, as follows:

SECTION 1. GUARANTY.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor with all other Subsidiary GuarantorS, hereby
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally,
as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and its
successors and assigns, the full and punctual payment and performance when due,
whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of
and Make-Whole Amount, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest,
whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any
petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar proceeding relating to the Company) the Notes and all other amounts
under the Note Purchase Agreement and all other obligations, agreements and
covenants of the Company now or hereafter existing under the Note Purchase
Agreement whether for principal, Make-Whole Amount, interest (including interest
accruing or becoming owing both prior to and subsequent to the commencement of
any proceeding against or with respect to the Company under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code), indemnification payments, expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) or otherwise, and all reasonable costs and
expenses, if any, incurred by any Holder in connection with enforcing any rights
under this Guaranty (all such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”),
and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses incurred by each Holder in
enforcing this Guaranty; provided that, notwithstanding anything contained
herein or in the Note Purchase Agreement to the contrary, the maximum liability
of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and under the Note Purchase Agreement
shall in no event exceed such Guarantor’s Maximum Guaranteed Amount, and
provided further, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be unconditionally required to
pay all amounts demanded of it hereunder prior to any determination of such
Maximum Guaranteed Amount and the recipient of such payment, if so required by a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, shall then be
liable for the refund of any excess amounts. If any such rebate or refund is
ever required, all other Subsidiary Guarantors (and the Company) shall be fully
liable for the repayment thereof to the maximum extent allowed by applicable
law. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing
guaranty of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditioned upon
any attempt to collect from the Company or any other action, occurrence or
circumstance whatsoever. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed
Obligations may at any time and from to time exceed the Maximum Guaranteed
Amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting
the rights and remedies of the Holders hereunder.

Notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such action
against the Company, if for any reason whatsoever the Company shall fail or be
unable duly, punctually and fully to perform and (in the case of the payment of
Guaranteed Obligations) pay such amounts as and when the same shall become due
and (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) payable or to perform
or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, whether or

 

E-2.3-2

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

not such failure or inability shall constitute an “Event of Default” under the
Note Purchase Agreement or the Notes, each Subsidiary Guarantor will forthwith
(in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) pay or cause to be paid
such amounts to the Holders, in lawful money of the United States of America, at
the place specified in the Note Purchase Agreement, or perform or comply with
such Guaranteed Obligations or cause such Guaranteed Obligations to be performed
or complied with, (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations)
together with interest (in the amounts and to the extent required under such
Notes) on any amount due and owing.

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as follows:

that relate to such Subsidiary Guarantor are true and correct in all respects
and are incorporated by reference with the same force and effect as though set
forth herein in full.

observance or performance by such Subsidiary Guarantor of any covenant,
condition or agreement contained herein (if, after the running of any applicable
notice and opportunity to cure periods provided in the Note Purchase Agreement,

Default.

(c) There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty that
have not been satisfied or expressly waived.

(d) Such Subsidiary Guarantor has, independently and without reliance upon the
Holders and based on such documents and information as it has deemed

Guaranty. Such Subsidiary Guarantor has investigated fully the benefits and
advantages which will be derived by it from execution of this Guaranty, and the
Board of Directors (or other equivalent authority) of such Subsidiary Guarantor
has decided that a direct and/or an indirect benefit will accrue to such
Subsidiary Guarantor by reason of the execution of this Guaranty.

(e) (i) This Guaranty is not given with actual intent to hinder, delay or
defraud any Person to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is or will become, on or
after the date hereof, indebted; (ii) such Subsidiary Guarantor has received at
least a reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the giving of this Guaranty;

become insolvent as a result of the giving of this Guaranty; (iv) such
Subsidiary Guarantor is not engaged in a business or transaction, nor is about
to engage in a business or transaction, for which any property remaining with

E-2.3-3

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

has the requisite power, authority and legal right under the laws of its state
of organization to conduct its business as presently conducted and to execute,
deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty.

(g) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such Subsidiary
Guarantor, and does not require any consent or approval of, or the giving of
notice to, or the taking of any other action in respect of, any stockholder or
trustee or holder of any indebtedness or obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor. This Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of
such Subsidiary Guarantor, enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, except that such enforceability is subject to any
limitations arising from bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium,
reorganization and other similar laws of general application relating to or
affecting the rights of creditors or pledgees and to general principles of
equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding
in equity or at law).

(h) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty does not and will
not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under any provision
of the Articles of Incorporation or by-laws or partnership agreement, as the
case may be, of such Subsidiary Guarantor, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of
trust, instrument, law, rule or regulation binding on such Subsidiary Guarantor
or to which such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party.

(i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty does not and will
not result in violation of any judgment or order applicable to such Subsidiary
Guarantor or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of the
properties or revenues of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to any requirement
of law or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which
such Subsidiary Guarantor is a party.

(j) The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty does not and will
not conflict with and does not and will not require any consent, approval or
authorization of, or registration or filing with, any governmental authority or
agency of the state of organization of such Subsidiary Guarantor or of the
United States or any State.

(k) There are no pending or, to the knowledge of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
threatened actions or proceedings against or affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor
or any of its properties by or before any court or administrative agency or
arbiter that would adversely affect the ability of such Subsidiary Guarantor to
perform its obligations hereunder or call into question the validity or
enforceability of this Guaranty.

(l) Such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty are at least
pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured claims against the
general creditors of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

(m) No Subsidiary Guarantor is in breach of or default under or with respect to
any instrument, document or agreement binding upon such Subsidiary Guarantor
which breach or default is reasonably probable to have a Material Adverse Effect
or result in the creation of a

 

E-2.3-4

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

Lien on any property of such Subsidiary Guarantor other than Liens permitted
under Section 10.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement. Such Subsidiary Guarantor is
in compliance with all applicable requirements of law except such non-compliance
as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) The execution, delivery and performance by each Subsidiary Guarantor of this
Guaranty will not render such Subsidiary Guarantor insolvent, nor is it being
made in contemplation of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s insolvency, and such
Subsidiary Guarantor does not have an unreasonably small capital.

SECTION 3. SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS UNCONDITIONAL.

(a) This Guaranty shall constitute a guarantee of payment, performance and
compliance and not of collection, and each Subsidiary Guarantor specifically
agrees that it shall not be necessary, and that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall
not be entitled to require, before or as a condition of enforcing the liability
of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty or requiring payment or
performance of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder,
or at any time thereafter, that any Holder: (a) file suit or proceed to obtain
or assert a claim for personal judgment against the Company or any other Person
that may be liable for or with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation; (b) make
any other effort to obtain payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation
from the Company or any other Person that may be liable for or with respect to
such Guaranteed Obligation, except for the making of the demands, when
appropriate, described in Section 1; (c) foreclose against, or seek to realize
upon security now or hereafter existing for such Guaranteed Obligations;
(d) except to the extent set forth in Section 1, exercise or assert any other
right or remedy to which such Holder is or may be entitled in connection with
any Guaranteed Obligation or any security or other guaranty therefor; or
(e) assert or file any claim against the assets of the Company or any other
Person liable for any Guaranteed Obligation. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees
that this Guaranty shall be continuing, and that the Guaranteed Obligations will
be paid and performed in accordance with their terms and the terms of this
Guaranty, and are the primary, absolute and unconditional obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
legality, regularity or enforceability or lack thereof of any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed
Obligations or this Guaranty, or the existence of any indemnities with respect
to the existence of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of
or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever
that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a
surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 3 that the obligations
of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, primary, absolute
and unconditional under any and all circumstances.

(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of
and reliance upon this Guaranty, diligence, presentment, demand of payment or
performance, protest and all other notices (except as otherwise provided for in
Section 1) whatsoever, any requirement that the Holders exhaust any right, power
or remedy or proceed against the Company or against any other Person under any
other guarantee of, or security for, or any other agreement, regarding

 

E-2.3-5

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

any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees
that, subject solely to the requirement of making demands under Section 1, the
occurrence of any event or other circumstance that might otherwise vary the risk
of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor or constitute a defense (legal or
equitable) available to, or a discharge of, or a counterclaim or right of
set-off by, the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor (other than the full and
indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations), shall
not affect the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

(c) The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty are not
subject to any counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement,
recoupment, suspension, deferment or defense based upon any claim such
Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person may have against the Company, any
Holder or any other Person, and shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any
circumstances or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor
or the Company shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including:

(i) any renewal, extension, modification, increase, decrease, alteration or
rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument
executed in connection therewith, or any contract or understanding with the
Company, the Holders, or any of them, or any other Person, pertaining to the
Guaranteed Obligations;

(ii) any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted
or given by any Holder to the Company or any other Person liable on the
Guaranteed Obligations, or the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or
demand or to exercise any right or remedy against the Company or any other
Person under the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Notes or
otherwise; or any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
release from any of the terms or provisions of, the Note Purchase Agreement, the
Notes, any guarantee or any other agreement;

(iii) the insolvency, bankruptcy arrangement, adjustment, composition,
liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of the Company or any
other Person at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Guaranteed
Obligations; or any dissolution of the Company or any other such Person, or any
change, restructuring or termination of the existence of the Company or any
other such Person, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of
the Company or any other such Person, or any change in the shareholders,
partners, or members of the Company or any other such Person; or any default,
failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed
Obligations;

(iv) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with
the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that
the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, exceed the amount permitted by
law, the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part is ultra vires,

other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly,
severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, it being recognized,

Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not
such action or omission prejudices such Subsidiary Guarantor or increases the
likelihood that such Subsidiary Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed
Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and
unequivocal intention of such Subsidiary Guarantor that it shall be obligated to
pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence,
circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether or not contemplated,
and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or
omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions,

Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Subsidiary
Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged,
impaired or varied except by the payment and performance of all obligations of
the Company under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes in accordance with
their respective terms as each may be amended or modified from time to time.
Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive
demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time
to time, the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall default under or in
respect of the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement and that notwithstanding
recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the
Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under the Note Purchase Agreement, this
Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every
subsequent default. All waivers herein contained shall be without prejudice to

Holders from time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from
any other Subsidiary Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the
liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty, and upon such terms
and conditions as any such Holder or Holders may deem advisable:

(i) extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change,
compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or
payment of any debt, liability or obligation of the Company or any Subsidiary
Guarantor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt,
liability or obligations of the Company on the Note Purchase Agreement or the
Notes, or waive any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive,
modify, amend or change any provision of any other agreement or waive this
Guaranty; or

(ii) sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and
all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the
benefit of, any such Holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or
performance of any debt, liability or obligation of the Company, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt,
liability or obligation of the Company on the Note Purchase Agreement or the
Notes; or

 

E-2.3-9

liability or obligation of the Company on the Note Purchase Agreement or the
Notes; or

the terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension,
renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification,
amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment, compromise or
purchase Additional Notes and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses,
counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it
being understood that such Subsidiary Guarantor shall at all times be bound by
this Guaranty and remain liable hereunder.

(e) All rights of any Holder may be transferred or assigned at any time in
accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and shall be considered to be
transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of
such Note in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement without the consent of
or notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty.

(f) No Holder shall be under any obligation: (i) to marshal any assets in favor
of the Subsidiary Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of
the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor under or in respect of the Notes or the
obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under the Note Purchase
Agreement or (ii) to pursue any other remedy that the Subsidiary Guarantors may
or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten the Subsidiary
Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
expressly waives.

SECTION 4. FULL RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS; PARI PASSU RANKING.

Subject to the Maximum Guaranteed Amount specified above, the obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable against it to the full
extent of all its assets and properties.

The respective obligations under this Guaranty of the Subsidiary Guarantors are
and at all times shall remain direct and unsecured obligations of the Subsidiary
Guarantors ranking pari passu as against the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors
without any preference among themselves and pari passu with all other present
and future unsecured Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of the Subsidiary
Guarantors which is not expressed to be subordinate or junior in rank to any
other unsecured Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

 

E-2.3-10

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

SECTION 5. WAIVER.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by
applicable law:

(a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 3;

(b) notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor of the incurrence of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations, notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor of any breach or
default by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations or any other notice that may be required, by statute,
rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of any Holder against such
Subsidiary Guarantor;

(c) presentment to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor or of payment from
the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any Note or other
Guaranteed Obligation or protest for nonpayment or dishonor;

(d) any right to the enforcement, assertion, exercise or exhaustion by any
Holder of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in any Note, the Note
Purchase Agreement or otherwise;

(e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any Holder;

(f) any requirement to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under the
Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement;

(g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title to
or interest in any Note or other Guaranteed Obligation by any Holder, assignee
or participant thereof, or in the Note Purchase Agreement;

(h) any release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder
resulting from any loss by it of its rights of subrogation hereunder; and

(i) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which
might otherwise limit recourse against such Subsidiary Guarantor.

SECTION 6. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder, or any application by any Holder of any security or of any credits or
claims, no Subsidiary Guarantor will assert or exercise any rights of any Holder
or of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Company to recover the amount of any
payment made by such Subsidiary Guarantor to any Holder hereunder by way of any
claim, remedy or subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution,
indemnity, participation or otherwise arising by contract, by statute,

 

E-2.3-11

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

under common law or otherwise, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall not have any
right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the Company, in
each case unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full.
Until such time (but not thereafter), each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly
waives any right to exercise any claim, right or remedy which such Subsidiary
Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor that arises under the Notes, the Note Purchase Agreement or
from the performance by any Subsidiary Guarantor of the guaranty hereunder
including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution, indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of
any Holder against the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any security that
any Holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or
remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or
otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to a Subsidiary Guarantor by the Company
or another Subsidiary Guarantor after payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall
thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and any Holder is required to repay
any sums received by any of them in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, this
Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated and such amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Holders and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders
to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or
unmatured. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination of
this Guaranty, and any satisfaction and discharge of the Company by virtue of
any payment, court order or any Federal or state law.

SECTION 7. SUBORDINATION.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor is or becomes the holder of any indebtedness payable
by the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
subordinates all such indebtedness owing to it from the Company or such other
Subsidiary Guarantor to all indebtedness of the Company to the Holders, and
agrees that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, it shall not accept
any payment on the same until payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and
shall in no circumstance whatsoever attempt to set-off or reduce any obligations
hereunder because of such indebtedness. If any amount shall nevertheless be paid
in violation of the foregoing to a Subsidiary Guarantor by the Company or
another Subsidiary Guarantor prior to payment in full of the Guaranteed
Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders
and shall forthwith be paid to the Holders to be credited and applied to the
Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

SECTION 8. EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS, ETC.

(a) If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of any security applied (or
intended to be applied) to the payment of all or any part of, the Guaranteed
Obligations, any Holder is for any reason compelled to surrender or voluntarily
surrenders (under circumstances in which it believes it could reasonably be
expected to be so compelled if it did not voluntarily surrender), such payment
or proceeds to any Person (i) because such payment or application of proceeds is
or may be avoided, invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be
void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer,
impermissible set-off or a diversion of trust funds or (ii) for any other
similar reason, including, without limitation, (x) any judgment,

 

E-2.3-12

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

decree or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over any
Holder or any of their respective properties or (y) any settlement or compromise
of any such claim effected by any Holder with any such claimant (including the
Company), then the Guaranteed Obligations or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be reinstated and continue, and this Guaranty shall continue in
full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received, notwithstanding
any revocation thereof or the cancellation of any Note or any other instrument
evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall be liable to pay the Holders, and
hereby do indemnify the Holders and hold them harmless for, the amount of such
payment or proceeds so surrendered and all expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses attributable thereto) incurred by any
Holder in defense of any claim made against any of them that any payment or
proceeds received by any Holder in respect of all or part of the Guaranteed
Obligations must be surrendered. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive
the termination of this Guaranty, and any satisfaction and discharge of the
Company by virtue of any payment, court order or any Federal or state law.

(b) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall at any time have occurred and be continuing, and
such acceleration shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency
against the Company or any other Person of any case or proceeding contemplated
by Section 8(a) hereof, then, for the purpose of defining the obligation of any
Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty, the maturity of the principal amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the
same effect as if an acceleration had occurred in accordance with the terms of
such Guaranteed Obligations, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall forthwith pay
such principal amount, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other
Guaranteed Obligations, due or that would have become due but for such case or
proceeding, without further notice or demand.

SECTION 9. TERM OF GUARANTY.

This Guaranty and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of each Subsidiary
Guarantor contained herein shall continue in full force and effect and shall not
be discharged until such time as all of the principal of and interest on the
Notes, the other Guaranteed Obligations and other independent payment
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be paid in
cash and performed in full, and all of the agreements of each of the other
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be duly paid in cash and performed in
full.

SECTION 10. CONTRIBUTION.

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution among the Subsidiary
Guarantors, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, to the extent any Subsidiary
Guarantor makes any payment hereunder on any date which, when added to all
preceding payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, would result in
the aggregate payments by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder exceeding its
Percentage (as defined below) of all payments then or theretofore made by all
Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have a right of
contribution against each other Subsidiary Guarantor whose aggregate payments
then or theretofore made hereunder are less than its Percentage of all payments
by all Subsidiary Guarantors then or theretofore made hereunder, in an amount
such that, after giving effect to any

 

E-2.3-13

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

such contribution rights, each Subsidiary Guarantor will have paid only its
Percentage of all payments by all Subsidiary Guarantors then or theretofore made
hereunder. A Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Percentage” on any date shall mean the
percentage obtained by dividing (a) the Adjusted Net Assets of such Subsidiary
Guarantor on such date by (b) the sum of the Adjusted Net Assets of all
Subsidiary Guarantors on such date. “Adjusted Net Assets” means, for each
Subsidiary Guarantor on any date, the lesser of (i) the amount by which the fair
value of the property of such Subsidiary Guarantor exceeds the total amount of
liabilities, including contingent liabilities, but excluding liabilities under
this Guaranty, of such Subsidiary Guarantor on such date and (ii) the amount by
which the present fair salable value of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor
on such date exceeds the amount that will be required to pay the probable
liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor on its debts, excluding debt in respect
of this Guaranty, as they become absolute and matured.

SECTION 11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby confirms that it is the intention of such
Subsidiary Guarantor that the guarantee by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to
this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of
Title 11 of the United States Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the
Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar applicable Federal or state law
(all such statutes and laws are collectively referred to as “Fraudulent
Conveyance Laws”). To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Subsidiary
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of such Subsidiary
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be limited to the amount as will, after
giving effect to all rights to receive any collections from or payments by or on
behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such
other Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Section 10 hereof, result in the
obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting
such a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. In the event that the liability of any
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is limited pursuant to this Section 11 to an
amount that is less than the total amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, then it
is understood and agreed that the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations for
which such Subsidiary Guarantor is liable hereunder shall be the last portion of
the Guaranteed Obligations to be repaid.

SECTION 12. NEGATIVE PLEDGE.

Except as permitted under Section 10.4 of the Note Purchase Agreement, no
Subsidiary Guarantor will create any Lien on its assets to any other Person
during the pendency of this Guaranty except for Liens permitted by Section 10.4
of the Note Purchase Agreement.

SECTION 13. SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT.

Upon execution and delivery by a Subsidiary of a Supplemental Agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, such Subsidiary shall become a
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally
named as a Subsidiary Guarantor herein. The

 

E-2.3-14

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

execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of
any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect

SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS

The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that except as hereinafter
set forth in this Exhibit A, each of the representations and warranties set
forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement is true and correct in all
material respects as of the date hereof with respect to the Series         
Notes with the same force and effect as if each reference to “Series 2012A
Notes” set forth therein was modified to refer the “Series          Notes” and
each reference to “this Agreement” therein was modified to refer to the Note
Purchase Agreement as supplemented by the              Supplement. The Section
references hereinafter set forth correspond to the similar sections of the Note
Purchase Agreement which are supplemented hereby:

Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Company, through its agent, Wells Fargo Securities,
LLC has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum,
dated                      (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions
contemplated by the              Supplement. The Memorandum fairly describes, in
all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal
properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Note Purchase Agreement, the
Memorandum, the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to each
Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreement and the              Supplement and
the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 to the              Supplement,
taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Since
                    , there has been no change in the financial condition,
operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company or any Subsidiary
except changes that individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the
Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that
has not been set forth herein or in the Memorandum or in the other documents,
certificates and other writings delivered to each Purchaser by or on behalf of
the Company specifically for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries. Schedule 5.4
to the              Supplement contains (except as noted therein) a complete and
correct list of the Company’s Subsidiaries, and showing, as to each Subsidiary,
the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the
percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity
interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary.

Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone
acting on its behalf has offered the Series          Notes or any similar
securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or
otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other
than the Purchasers and not more than [        ] other Institutional Investors,
each of which has been offered the Series          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.

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

Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the
proceeds of the sale of the Series          Notes to                      and
for general corporate purposes. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the
Series          Notes pursuant to the          Supplement 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). Margin stock does not
constitute more than 2% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company
and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that
margin stock will constitute more than 2% of the value of such assets. 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.

Section 5.15. Existing Indebtedness; Future Liens. (a) Schedule 5.15 to the
         Supplement sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding
Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of                     ,
since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest
rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of
the Company or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in
default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any
principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary and
no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or
any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or
both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due
and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates
of payment.

Notes are issued]
