Ladies and Gentlemen: 



        The
undersigned, Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
“Company”), and each Issuer Subsidiary which from time to time may
execute a Confirmation of Acceptance or issue Notes hereunder, hereby agree with the
Purchasers as follows: 



1.        AUTHORIZATION OF
ISSUE OF NOTES. 



        The
Company (or in the case of an Issuer Subsidiary, such Issuer Subsidiary) may authorize the
issue of its senior promissory notes (the “Notes”) in the aggregate
principal amount of $125,000,000 (including the equivalent in the Available Currencies),
to be dated the date of issue thereof, to mature, in the case of each Note so issued, no
more than ten years after the date of original issuance thereof, to have an average life
of not more than seven years, to bear interest on the unpaid balance thereof from the date
thereof at the rate per annum, to rank pari passu with all other outstanding
Notes, and to have such other particular terms, as shall be set forth, in the case of each
Note so issued, in the Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to such Note delivered
pursuant to Section 2B(5), and to be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto. The terms “Note” and “Notes” as used
herein shall include each Note delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and
each Note delivered in substitution or exchange for any such Note pursuant to any such
provision. Notes which have (i) the same final maturity, (ii) the same scheduled principal
prepayment dates, (iii) the same principal prepayment amounts (as a percentage of the
original principal amount of each Note), (iv) the same interest rate, (v) the same
interest payment periods, (vi) the same currency specification, (vii) the same issuer, and
(viii) the same date of issuance (which, in the case of a Note issued in exchange for
another Note, shall be deemed for these purposes the date on which such Note’s
ultimate predecessor Note was issued), are herein called a “Series” of
Notes. The Notes shall at all times be 





1 










 guaranteed by all current and future Material
Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”)
pursuant to the Subsidiary Guaranty, and shall at all times, at the option of the Company,
either be (x) secured by a pledge of the Pledged Securities of each Material Foreign
Subsidiary pursuant to the Pledge Agreement or (y) guaranteed by each Material Foreign
Subsidiary pursuant to a Foreign Subsidiary Guaranty. Certain capitalized terms used in
this Agreement are defined in Schedule A; references to a “Schedule” or
an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit
attached to this Agreement. 




2.        PURCHASE AND SALE OF
NOTES. 



        2A     [Intentionally
Omitted.] 



             2B(1).    
          Facility. Prudential is willing to consider, in its sole discretion and
          within limits which may be authorized for purchase by Prudential and Prudential
          Affiliates from time to time, the purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement.
          The willingness of Prudential to consider such purchase of Notes is herein
          called the “Facility.” At any time, the aggregate principal
          amount of Notes stated in Section 1, minus the aggregate principal amount
          of Notes purchased and sold pursuant to this Agreement prior to such time,
          minus the aggregate principal amount of Accepted Notes (as hereinafter
          defined) which have not yet been purchased and sold hereunder prior to such
          time, is herein called the “Available Facility Amount” at such
          time. For purposes of the preceding sentence, all aggregate principal amounts of
          Notes and Accepted Notes shall be calculated in Dollars with the aggregate
          amount of any Notes denominated or Accepted Notes to be denominated in any
          Available Currency other than Dollars being converted to Dollars at the rate of
          exchange used by Prudential to calculate the Dollar equivalent at the time of
          the applicable Acceptance under Section 2B(5). NOTWITHSTANDING THE
          WILLINGNESS OF PRUDENTIAL TO CONSIDER PURCHASES OF NOTES, THIS AGREEMENT IS
          ENTERED INTO ON THE EXPRESS UNDERSTANDING THAT NEITHER PRUDENTIAL NOR ANY
          PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO MAKE OR ACCEPT OFFERS TO PURCHASE
          NOTES, OR TO QUOTE RATES, SPREADS OR OTHER TERMS WITH RESPECT TO SPECIFIC
          PURCHASES OF NOTES, AND THE FACILITY SHALL IN NO WAY BE CONSTRUED AS A
          COMMITMENT BY PRUDENTIAL OR ANY PRUDENTIAL AFFILIATE. 



             2B(2).    
          Issuance Period. Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this Agreement
          until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the date of this Agreement (or
          if such anniversary is not a New York Business Day, the New York Business Day
          next preceding such anniversary) and (ii) the thirtieth day after Prudential
          shall have given to the Company, or the Company shall have given to Prudential,
          written notice stating that it elects to terminate the issuance and sale of
          Notes pursuant to this Agreement (or if such thirtieth (30) day is not a New
          York Business Day, the New York Business Day next preceding such thirtieth (30)
          day). The period during which Notes may be issued and sold pursuant to this
          Agreement is herein called the “Issuance Period.” 



             2B(3).    
          Request for Purchase. The Company may from time to time during the
          Issuance Period make requests for purchases of Notes (each such request being
          herein called a “Request for Purchase”). Each Request for
          Purchase shall be made to Prudential by 




2 












      telefacsimile or overnight delivery
          service to the applicable address set forth in the Information Schedule, and
          shall (i) specify the currency (which shall be an Available Currency) of the
          Notes covered thereby, (ii) specify the aggregate principal amount of Notes
          covered thereby, which, in the case of the initial draw, shall not be less than
          $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in another Available Currency) or which, in the
          case of any subsequent draw, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (or its
          equivalent in another Available Currency), and not be greater than the Available
          Facility Amount at the time such Request for Purchase is made, (iii) specify the
          principal amounts, final maturities, principal prepayment dates and amounts and
          interest payment periods (quarterly or semi-annually in arrears, with quarterly
          available only in the case of Notes denominated in Dollars) of the Notes covered
          thereby, (iv) specify the use of proceeds of such Notes, (v) specify the
          proposed day for the closing of the purchase and sale of such Notes, which shall
          be a Business Day during the Issuance Period not less than 6 Business Days (or,
          if the issuer of such notes will be an Issuer Subsidiary organized in a
          jurisdiction outside of the United States, not less than 15 Business Days) and
          not more than 42 days after the making of such Request for Purchase, (vi)
          specify the number of the account and the name and address of the depository
          institution to which the purchase prices of such Notes are to be transferred on
          the Closing Day for such purchase and sale, (vii) certify that the
          representations and warranties contained in Section 5 are true on and as of the
          date of such Request for Purchase and that there exists on the date of such
          Request for Purchase no Event of Default or Default, (viii) specify the issuer
          of the Notes (which shall be the Company or an Issuer Subsidiary), and (ix) be
          substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto. Each Request for
          Purchase shall be deemed made when received by Prudential. 






             2B(4).    
          Rate Quotes. Not later than two (2) Business Days after the Company shall
          have given Prudential a Request for Purchase pursuant to Section 2B(3),
          Prudential may, but shall be under no obligation to, provide to the Company by
          telephone or telefacsimile, in each case between 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. New
          York City local time (or such later time as Prudential may elect) interest rate
          quotes for the several currencies, principal amounts, maturities, principal
          prepayment schedules, and interest payment periods of Notes specified in such
          Request for Purchase (each such interest rate quote provided in response to a
          Request for Purchase herein called a “Quotation”). Each
          Quotation shall represent the interest rate per annum payable on the outstanding
          principal balance of such Notes at which Prudential or a Prudential Affiliate
          would be willing to purchase such Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof. 



             2B(5).    
          Acceptance. Within the Acceptance Window, an Authorized Officer of the
          Company may, subject to Section 2B(6), elect to accept a Quotation as to the
          aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in the related Request for
          Purchase (each such Note being herein called an “Accepted Note”
          and such acceptance being herein called an “Acceptance”). The
          day the Company notifies an Acceptance with respect to any Accepted Notes is
          herein called the “Acceptance Day” for such Accepted Notes. Any
          Quotation as to which Prudential does not receive an Acceptance within the
          Acceptance Window shall expire, and no purchase or sale of Notes hereunder shall
          be made based on any such expired Quotation. Subject to Section 2B(6) and the
          other terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to sell (or to cause the
          applicable Issuer Subsidiary to sell) to Prudential or one or more Prudential
          Affiliates, and Prudential agrees to purchase, or to cause the purchase by one
          or more Prudential Affiliates of, the Accepted Notes at 100% of the principal
          amount of such Notes, which purchase  



3 








      price shall be paid in the currency in
          which such Notes are to be denominated. As soon as practicable following the
          Acceptance Day, the Company, the Issuer Subsidiary (if applicable), Prudential
          and each Prudential Affiliate which is to purchase any such Accepted Notes will
          execute a confirmation of such Acceptance substantially in the form of
          Exhibit C attached hereto (herein called a “Confirmation of
          Acceptance”). If the Company and the Issuer Subsidiary (if applicable)
          should fail to execute and return to Prudential within three Business Days
          following receipt thereof a Confirmation of Acceptance with respect to any
          Accepted Notes, Prudential may at its election at any time prior to its receipt
          thereof cancel the closing with respect to such Accepted Notes by so notifying
          the Company in writing. 





             2B(6).    
          Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2B(5), any
          Quotation provided pursuant to Section 2B(4) shall expire if prior to the time
          an Acceptance with respect to such Quotation shall have been notified to
          Prudential in accordance with Section 2B(5): (i) in the case of any Notes, the
          domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives shall have closed or
          there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or
          significant disruption of trading in securities generally on the New York Stock
          Exchange or in the domestic market for U.S. Treasury securities or derivatives,
          or (ii) in the case of Notes to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars,
          the markets for the relevant government securities (which in the case of the
          Euro, shall be the German Bund) or the spot and forward currency market, the
          financial futures market or the interest rate swap market shall have closed or
          there shall have occurred a general suspension, material limitation, or
          significant disruption of trading then such interest. No purchase or sale of
          Notes hereunder shall be made based on such expired Quotation. If the Company
          thereafter notifies Prudential of the Acceptance of any such Quotation, such
          Acceptance shall be ineffective for all purposes of this Agreement, and
          Prudential shall promptly notify the Company that the provisions of this Section
          2B(6) are applicable with respect to such Acceptance. 



             2B(7).    
          Facility Closings. Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City local time) on
          the Document Delivery Date for any Accepted Notes, the Company will deliver to
          each Purchaser listed in the Confirmation of Acceptance relating thereto at the
          offices of Prudential Capital Group (as set forth in this Agreement or such
          alternative address as is provided to the Company pursuant to Section 18(a)),
          the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of one or more
          Notes in authorized denominations as such Purchaser may request for each Series
          of Accepted Notes to be purchased on the Closing Day, dated the Closing Day and
          registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee),
          against payment on the Closing Day of the purchase price thereof by transfer of
          immediately available funds for credit to the Company’s account specified
          in the Request for Purchase of such Notes. If the Company fails to timely tender
          to any Purchaser the Accepted Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser on the
          applicable Document Delivery Date, or any of the conditions specified in Section
          3 shall not have been fulfilled by the time required on the applicable Document
          Delivery Date, the Company shall, prior to 2:30 p.m., New York City local time,
          on the applicable Document Delivery Date notify Prudential (which notification
          shall be deemed received by each Purchaser) in writing whether (i) such closing
          is to be rescheduled (such rescheduled date to be a Business Day during the
          Issuance Period not less than one (1) day and not more than ten (10) days after
          such scheduled Closing Day (the “Rescheduled Closing Day”)) and
          certify to Prudential (which certification shall be for the benefit of each
          Purchaser) that the Company reasonably believes that it will be able to comply
          with the conditions set forth in Section 3 on the Document Delivery  



4 








     Date
          applicable to such Rescheduled Closing Day and that the Company will pay the
          Delayed Delivery Fee in accordance with Section 2B(8)(iii) or (ii) such closing
          is to be canceled. If a Rescheduled Closing Day is established in respect of
          Notes denominated in a currency other than Dollars, such Notes shall have the
          same maturity date, principal prepayment dates and amounts and interest payment
          dates as originally scheduled, but such Notes shall be dated the actual date of
          issuance. In the event that the Company shall fail to give such notice referred
          to in the second preceding sentence, Prudential (on behalf of each Purchaser)
          may at its election, at any time after 2:30 p.m., New York City local time, on
          such Document Delivery Date, notify the Company in writing that such closing is
          to be canceled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary appearing in this
          Agreement, the Company may not elect to reschedule a closing with respect to any
          given Accepted Notes on more than one occasion, unless Prudential shall have
          otherwise consented in writing. 




             2B(8).    
          Fees. 



                 2B(8)(i)       
          Structuring Fee. In consideration for the time, effort and expense
          involved in the structuring of this transaction and the preparation, negotiation
          and execution of this Agreement, at the time of the execution and delivery of
          this Agreement by the Company and Prudential, the Company will pay to Prudential
          in immediately available funds a fee (herein called the “Structuring
          Fee”) in the amount of $50,000. 



                 2B(8)(ii).       
          Issuance Fee. The Company will pay to each Purchaser in immediately
          available funds a fee (herein called the “Issuance Fee”) on
          each Closing Day in an amount equal to 0.10% of the Dollar equivalent of the
          aggregate principal amount of Notes to be sold to such Purchaser on such Closing
          Day (calculated for Notes which are to be denominated in an Available Currency
          other than Dollars using the rate of exchange used by Prudential to calculate
          the Dollar equivalent at the time of the applicable Acceptance under Section
          2B(5)). Such fee shall be payable in Dollars. 



                 2B(8)(iii).       
          Delayed Delivery Fee. If the closing of the purchase and sale of any
          Accepted Note is delayed for any reason beyond the original Closing Day for such
          Accepted Note, the Company shall pay the Purchaser which shall have agreed to
          purchase such Accepted Note, on the Cancellation Date or Document Delivery Date
          applicable to the actual Closing Day of such purchase and sale, an amount (the
          “Delayed Delivery Fee”) equal to 



          		            (a)       
               in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in Dollars, the product of (1) the
               amount determined by Prudential to be the amount by which the bond equivalent
               yield per annum of such Accepted Note exceeds the investment rate per annum on
               an alternative Dollar investment of the highest quality selected by Prudential
               and having a maturity date or dates the same as, or closest to, the Rescheduled
               Closing Day from time to time fixed for the delayed delivery of such Accepted
               Note, (2) the principal amount of such Accepted Note, and (3) a fraction the
               numerator of which is equal to the number of actual days elapsed from and
               including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note to but excluding the
               date of such payment, and the denominator of which is 360; and 



               




5 













          		            (b)       
               in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in a currency other than Dollars,
               the sum of (1) the product of (x) the amount by which the bond equivalent yield
               per annum of such Accepted Note exceeds the arithmetic average of the Overnight
               Interest Rates on each day from and including the original Closing Day for such
               Accepted Note, (y) the principal amount of such Accepted Note, and (z) a
               fraction the numerator of which is equal to the number of actual days elapsed
               from and including the original Closing Day for such Accepted Note to but
               excluding the date of such payment, and the denominator of which is 360 and (2)
               the costs and expenses (if any) incurred by such Purchaser or its affiliates
               with respect to any interest rate, currency exchange or similar agreement
               entered into by the Purchaser or any such affiliate in connection with the
               delayed closing of such Accepted Notes. 



               



                In
no case shall the Delayed Delivery Fee be less than zero. The Delayed Delivery Fee
described in clause (b), above, shall be paid in the currency in which the Accepted Notes
are denominated. Nothing contained herein shall obligate any Purchaser to purchase any
Accepted Note on any day other than the Closing Day for such Accepted Note, as the same
may be rescheduled from time to time in compliance with Section 2B(7). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Delayed Delivery Fee shall be due to any Purchaser which shall have failed
to purchase an Accepted Note when each of the conditions precedent in Section 3 (other
than the condition set forth in Section 3B) has been timely satisfied on the applicable
Document Delivery Date. 



                 2B(8)(iv).       
          Cancellation Fee. If (a) the Company at any time notifies Prudential in
          writing that the Company is canceling the closing of the purchase and sale of
          any Accepted Note, or (b) if Prudential notifies the Company in writing under
          the circumstances set forth in the penultimate sentence of Section 2B(7) that
          the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is to be canceled, or
          (c) if the closing of the purchase and sale of such Accepted Note is not
          consummated on or prior to the last day of the Issuance Period (the date of any
          such notification, or the last day of the Issuance Period, as the case may be,
          being herein called the “Cancellation Date”), the Company shall
          pay the Purchaser which shall have agreed to purchase such Accepted Note in
          immediately available funds on the Cancellation Date an amount (the
          “Cancellation Fee”) equal to 



          		            (a)       
               in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in Dollars, the product of (1) the
               principal amount of such Accepted Note and (2) the quotient (expressed in
               decimals) obtained by dividing (y) the excess of the ask price (as determined by
               Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the Cancellation Date over the bid
               price (as determined by Prudential) of the Hedge Treasury Note(s) on the
               Acceptance Day for such Accepted Note by (z) such bid price, with the foregoing
               bid and ask prices as reported on TradeWeb, or if such information ceases to be
               available on TradeWeb, any publicly available source of such market data
               selected by Prudential, and rounded to the second decimal place; and 



               



          		            (b)       
               in the case of an Accepted Note denominated in a currency other than Dollars,
               the sum of (1) the amount described in clause (a) above (calculated with respect
               to the Dollar principal amount and interest rate utilized by Prudential in
               providing the Quotation pursuant to Section 2B(4) relevant to such Accepted
               Note) and (2) aggregate of all unwinding costs incurred by such Purchaser or its
               affiliates on positions  



               



6 







          		
 described in this clause (2) shall be
               offset against any such unwinding costs described in this clause (2). Such
               positions include (without limitation) currency and interest rate swaps, futures
               and forwards, government bond hedges and currency exchange contracts, all of
               which may be subject to substantial price volatility. Such costs may also
               include (without limitation) losses incurred by such Purchaser or its affiliates
               as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates. All unwinding costs incurred by
               such Purchaser shall be determined by Prudential or its affiliate in accordance
               with generally accepted financial practice. 



               



                In
no case shall the Cancellation Fee be less than zero. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
Cancellation Fee shall be due to any Purchaser which shall have failed to purchase an
Accepted Note when each of the conditions precedent in Section 3 (other than the condition
set forth in Section 3B) has been timely satisfied on the applicable Document Delivery
Date.

        The
Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 



        5.1         Organization; Power

                The
Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation
and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by
law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good
standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold
under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the
business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement, the
Collateral Documents to which it is a party and the Notes, and to perform the provisions
hereof and thereof. 



        5.2         Authorization, etc. 



                This
Agreement, the Notes and the Collateral Documents to which the Company is a party have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and
this Agreement and each of the Collateral Documents to which it is a party constitutes,
and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally, and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of
whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 



        5.3         Disclosure. 



                Neither
this Agreement nor any other document, certificate or statement furnished to any Purchaser
by or on behalf of the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary in connection herewith contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements contained herein and therein not misleading. Except as
disclosed in the form 10-K filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the period immediately prior to the applicable Document Delivery Date of
the Notes or in any Form 10-Q, Form 8-K or other report filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for any period subsequent to the date of such form 10-K
filed by the Company (but at least five (5) Business Days prior to the applicable Document
Delivery Date of such Notes), there is no fact peculiar to the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries which has had a Material Adverse Effect or in the future may (so far as the
Company can now foresee) have a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth in
this Agreement or in the other documents or certificates furnished to the Purchasers in
connection herewith.

        5.4         Organization

             (a)    
          All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests owned

          fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary
          free and clear of any Lien (except for Permitted Liens, directors’
          qualifying shares, shares required to be owned by Persons pursuant to applicable
          foreign laws regarding foreign ownership). 



             (b)    
          Each Subsidiary is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly
          existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
          organization, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation or other legal
          entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification
          is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be
          so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate,
          reasonably be expected to have a 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 transact.

          Material Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar
          distributions of profits to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns

                The
Company has furnished each Purchaser of any Accepted Notes with the following financial
statements: (i) a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the

statements (including any related schedules and/or notes) fairly present the consolidated
financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates

specified therein (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from audits and
year-end adjustments), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently followed

of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole since the end of the most recent
fiscal year for which such audited financial statements have been furnished.

          Company, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary or any
          property of the Company or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator
          of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in

charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect
of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate in accordance with
GAAP. 



        5.10         Title to Property;

Securities Act. Each Purchaser represents that it is purchasing the Notes to be purchased
by it for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by it or for the
account of one or more pension or trust funds and not with a view to the distribution
thereof, provided that the disposition of its or their property shall at all times be

law, and that the Company is not required to register the Notes.

        6.2         Source
of Funds. 



                Each
Purchaser represents that at least one of the following statements is an accurate

to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by it hereunder: 



             (a)    
          the Source is an “insurance company general account” (as the term is
          defined in the United States Department of Labor’s Prohibited Transaction
          Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60) in respect of which the reserves and
          liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life insurance companies
          approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the
          “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the general account contract(s)
          held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of
          the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on
          behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or
          affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization
          in the general account do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities
          of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus
          as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state
          of domicile; or 



             (b)    
          the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with
          such Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts
          payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that
          has any interest in such separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary
          of such plan (including any annuitant)) are not affected in any manner by the
          investment performance of the separate account; or 



             (c)    
          the Source is either (i) an insurance company pooled separate account, within
          the meaning of PTE 90-1, or (ii) a bank collective investment fund, within the
          meaning of the PTE 91-38 and, except as disclosed by such Purchaser to the
          Company in writing pursuant to this paragraph (c), no employee benefit plan or
          group of plans maintained by the same employer or employee organization
          beneficially owns more than 10% of all assets allocated to such pooled separate
          account or collective investment fund; or 



             (d)    
          the Source constitutes assets of an “investment fund” (within the
          meaning of Part V of PTE 84-14 (the “QPAM Exemption”)) managed
          by a “qualified professional asset manager” or “QPAM”
          (within the meaning of Part V of the QPAM Exemption), no employee benefit
          plan’s assets that are included in such investment fund, when combined with
          the assets of all other employee benefit plans established or maintained by the
          same employer or by an affiliate (within the meaning of Section V(c)(1) of the
          QPAM Exemption) of such employer or by the same employee organization and
          managed by such QPAM, exceed 20% of the total client assets managed by such
          QPAM, the conditions of Part I(c) and (g) of the QPAM Exemption are satisfied,
          neither the QPAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the QPAM (applying
          the definition of “control” in Section V(e) of the QPAM Exemption)
          owns a 5% or more interest in the Company and (i) the identity of such QPAM and
          (ii) the names of all employee benefit plans whose assets are included in such
          investment fund have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this
          paragraph (d); or 




17 









             (e)    
          the Source constitutes assets of a “plan(s)” (within the meaning of
          Section IV of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)) managed by an
          “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of
          Part IV of the INHAM exemption), the conditions of Part I(a), (g) and (h) of the
          INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a person controlling or
          controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in
          Section IV(h) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 5% or more interest in the Company
          and (a) the identity of such INHAM and (b) the name(s) of the employee benefit
          plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Company in
          writing this paragraph (e); or 



             (f)    
          the Source is a governmental plan; or 



             (g)    
          the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or separate account or trust
          fund comprised of one or more employee benefit plans, each of which has been
          identified to the Company in writing pursuant to this paragraph (g); or 



             (h)    
          the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a
          plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA. 



As used in this Section 6.2, the
terms “employee benefit plan”, “governmental plan” and
“separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such
terms in Section 3 of ERISA.

          review shall not have disclosed the existence during such period of any
          condition or event that constitutes a Default or an Event of Default or, if any

          Subsidiary to comply with any Environmental Law), specifying the nature and
          period of existence thereof and what action the Company shall have taken or
          proposes to take with respect thereto.

        The
Company shall permit the representatives of each holder of Notes that is an Institutional
Investor: 



             (a)

          Company and its Subsidiaries), all at such reasonable times and as often as may
          be requested. 






     8.        
          PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.



        8.1 Required
Prepayments. Each Series of Notes shall be subject to the required prepayments, if
any, as are set forth in the Notes of such Series; provided that upon any partial
prepayment of the Notes of a Series pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of each
required prepayment of the Notes of such Series becoming due on and after the date of such
prepayment or purchase, as well as the payment required at maturity, shall be reduced in
the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes of such Series
is reduced as a result of such prepayment or purchase. 



        8.2         Optional Prepayments
with Make-Whole Amount. 



             (a)    
          Prepayment Amount. The Company (or the Issuer Subsidiary, if applicable)
          may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay on any Business Day
          all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes in an amount not less than 5%
          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, plus accrued
          interest thereon, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date
          with respect to such principal amount. 



             (b)    
          Notice. The Company (or the Issuer Subsidiary, if applicable) 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
          Business Day fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the
          prepayment date, 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 (or the Issuer Subsidiary, if applicable) shall deliver to each holder
          of Notes which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the
          Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable Confirmation of Acceptance or by
          notice in writing to the Company a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer
          specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified
          prepayment date. 



             (c)    
          Prepayments under the Amended and Restated Collateral Agency and
          Intercreditor Agreement. Any prepayments of the Notes in accordance with the
          Amended and Restated Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement under
          circumstances in which the Notes have not been declared due and payable under
          Section 11 hereof shall be treated as optional prepayments under this Section 8
          for purposes of calculating any Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such
          prepayment. 



        8.3         Allocation of
Partial Prepayments. 




22












                In
the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes, 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. 



        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, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company (or the
Issuer Subsidiary, if applicable) shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and
payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest
on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be
surrendered to the Company (or the Issuer Subsidiary, if applicable) and cancelled and
shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount
of any Note. 



        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 the terms of this Agreement and the
Notes. 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. 



        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;

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

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

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. 






	  	
“Implied
Canadian Dollar Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any
Note, the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York

such other display as may replace “Page 0#CABMK” on the Reuters Screen) for
actively traded benchmark Canadian Government bonds having a maturity equal to the
Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, ascertainable,
(ii) the average of the yields for such securities as determined by Recognized Canadian
Government Bond Market Makers. Such implied yield shall be determined, if necessary, by
(a) converting quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded benchmark Canadian
Government bonds with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life
of such Called Principal and (2) the actively traded benchmark Canadian Government bonds
wit the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal.

Insight or shall cease to be Prudential Capital Group’s customary source of
information for calculating Make-Whole Amounts on privately placed notes, then such source
as is then Prudential Capital Group’s customary source of such information), or if
such yields shall not be reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time
shall not be ascertainable, (ii) the Treasury Constant Maturity Series yields reported,
for the latest day for which such yields shall have been so reported as of the Business

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. Such implied yield shall
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 yields reported for various maturities. 






	  	
“Implied
British Pound Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the
yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported, as of 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on

quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and
(b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively benchmark traded gilt-edged securities
with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average life, and (2) the
actively traded benchmark gilt-edged securities with the maturity closest to and less than
the Remaining Average Life. 







	  	
“Implied
Euro Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the

such other display as may replace “Page 0#DEBMK” on the Reuters Screen) for the
actively traded benchmark German Bunds having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average
Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or if such yields are not
reported as of such time or the yields reported shall not be ascertainable, (ii) the
average of the yields for such securities as determined by Recognized German Bund Market
Makers. Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting quotations

Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or if such yields are
not reported as of such time or the yields reported shall not be ascertainable, (ii) the
average of the yields for such securities as determined by Recognized Japanese Government
Bond Market Makers. Such rate will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting
quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and
(b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded benchmark Japanese Government
bonds with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such
Called Principal and (2) actively traded benchmark Japanese Government bonds with the

(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 with respect to such Called Principal by (b)
the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between

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

terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will

9.         AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 



                The
Company covenants that during the Issuance Period and so long thereafter as any of the
Notes are outstanding: 



26










        9.1         Compliance with Law. 



                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, Environmental Laws, 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. 



        9.2         Insurance. 



                The
Company will and will cause each of the Restricted 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. 



        9.3         Maintenance of
Properties. 



                The
Company will and will cause each of the Restricted 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 Restricted 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. 



        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, 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 such Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on
the books of the Company or such Subsidiary, or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes and
assessments and claims in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. 




27











        9.5         Corporate Existence,
etc. 



                The
Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate
existence and the existence of any Issuer Subsidiary. Subject to Section 10.2, the Company
will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate existence of
each Restricted Subsidiary (unless merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary) and
all rights and franchises of the Company and the Restricted 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.

Execution of Pledge Agreement, Foreign Subsidiary Guaranty and Subsidiary Guaranty. 



          	(a)

               Foreign Subsidiary, or (y) guaranteed by each Material Foreign Subsidiary
               pursuant to a foreign subsidiary guaranty substantially in the form of the

             (b)    
          [Intentionally Omitted.] 



             (c)    
          The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, incur,

          party to the Amended and Restated Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement. 



        10.6         Minimum Fixed
Charges Coverage.

        10.7         Nature of the
Business. 



                The
Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, to engage in any business
if, as a result, the general nature of the business of the Company and the Restricted
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, which would then be engaged in by the Company and the
Restricted Subsidiaries would be substantially changed from the general nature of the
business engaged in by the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, on
the date of this Agreement.

Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary and may designate in writing to each of the holders
of the Notes any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary; provided that (i) no
such designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall be
effective unless (A) such designation is treated as a transfer under Section 10.2 and such
designation is permitted by Section 10.2, and (B) such Subsidiary does not own any stock,
other equity interest or Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; and (ii)
no such designation shall be effective unless, immediately after giving effect thereto no
Default or Event of Default would exist; provided, further, that any
Subsidiary that has been designated as a Restricted Subsidiary or an Unrestricted
Subsidiary may not thereafter be redesignated as a Restricted Subsidiary or an





36












Unrestricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, more than once; and provided,
further, that no Securitization Entity shall be a Restricted Subsidiary unless
designated as such by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this

for the purpose of mitigating risks associated with liabilities, commitments or assets
held by such Person, and not for purposes of speculation. 



        10.10         Limitation on

          and (ii) dividends and distributions paid by a Restricted Subsidiary solely to

          any shares of capital stock of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; or 



             (c)

          otherwise; or 



             (b)    
          the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary defaults in the payment of any interest on

          and such default is not remedied within 30 days after the earlier of (i) a
          Responsible Officer obtaining actual knowledge of such default, and (ii) the
          Company or such Subsidiary receiving written notice of such default from any
          holder of a Note (any such written notice to be identified as a “notice of
          default” and to refer specifically to this paragraph (d) of Section 11); or 



             (e)

          the Collateral Documents or in any writing furnished in connection with the
          transactions contemplated hereby or thereby proves to have been false or
          incorrect in any material respect on the date as of which made; or

          make-whole amount or interest on any Indebtedness beyond any period of grace
          provided with respect thereto, or (ii) the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary
          is in default for more than 20 Business Days in the performance of or compliance
          with any term of any evidence of any Indebtedness or of any mortgage, indenture

          Indebtedness to be) due and payable before its stated maturity or before its
          regularly scheduled dates of payment, or (y) one or more Persons have the right
          to require the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to purchase or repay such
          Indebtedness, or (iii) as a consequence of the occurrence or continuation of any
          event or condition (other than the passage of time or the right of the holder of
          Indebtedness to convert such Indebtedness into equity interests), (x) the

plan” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of
ERISA. 



12.         REMEDIES ON DEFAULT,
ETC. 



        12.1         Acceleration. 



             (a)    
          If an Event of Default with respect to the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary
          described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default
          described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or described in clause (vi) of
          paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of
          paragraph (g)) has occurred, all the Notes 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 principal amount of the Notes at the time
          outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the
          Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and
          payable. 



             (c)    
          If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has
          occurred and is continuing, 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 it or
          them to be immediately due and payable. 



        Upon
any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by
declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of
such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and (y) the Make-Whole Amount
determined in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable
law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without
presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The
Company and each Issuer Subsidiary acknowledge, 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 or such Issuer Subsidiary (except as herein specifically provided for) and
that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company or such Issuer
Subsidiary 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. 



        12.2         Other Remedies. 




40









                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, in the
Collateral Documents 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. 



        12.3         Rescission. 



                At
any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
of Section 12.1, the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and
annul any such declaration and its consequences, and at any time after any Notes have
become due and payable pursuant to clause (a) of Section 12.1, the holders of all Notes
then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind acceleration of the Notes
resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default described in paragraph (h) of Section
11, if in each case (i) the Company or the Issuer Subsidiary has paid all overdue interest
on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes 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, if any, and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (ii)
all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due
solely by reason of such declaration or acceleration, have been cured or have been waived
pursuant to Section 17, and (iii) 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. 



        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, the Collateral Documents 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’ fees, expenses and disbursements. 



13.         REGISTRATION;
EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES. 



        13.1         Registration of
Notes. 



        The
Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and
registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more
Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more
Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of
transfer, 



41 












 the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and
treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes 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. 







        13.2         Transfer and
Exchange of Notes. 



                Upon
surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of
transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly
endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the
registered holder of such Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied
by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company
or the applicable Issuer Subsidiary shall execute and deliver, at its expense (except as
provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange
therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the
surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may
request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A. Each such new Note
shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on
the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have
been paid thereon. The Company or the applicable Issuer Subsidiary 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 (or its equivalent if denominated in another currency), 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 (or its equivalent if
denominated in another currency). Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered
in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations
set forth in Section 6. Each transferee of a Note shall, as a condition to transfer,
simultaneously become a party to the the Amended and Restated Collateral Agency and
Intercreditor Agreement. Each transferee of a Note which was not previously a holder of
the Notes under this Agreement and which is not incorporated under the laws of the United
States of America or a state thereof shall, within three Business Days of becoming a
holder, deliver to the Company such certificate and other evidence as the Company may
reasonably request to establish that such holder is entitled to receive payments under the
Notes without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. 



        13.3         Replacement of
Notes. 



                Upon
receipt by the Company or the applicable Issuer Subsidiary of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any Note (which evidence shall 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 $100,000,000, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity
          shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or 





42 












             (b)    
          in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 



the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary
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. 



14.         PAYMENTS ON NOTES. 



        14.1         Place of Payment. 



        Subject
to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming
due and payable on the Notes shall be made in Provo, Utah at the principal office of the
Company in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a
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. 



        14.2         Home Office Payment. 



                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 and each
Issuer Subsidiary will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and interest by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the
account or accounts specified in the Purchaser Schedule to the Confirmation of Acceptance
with respect to such Note, or by such other method or at such other address as such
Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary
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 or such
Issuer Subsidiary 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 any 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 and each Issuer Subsidiary will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2
to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note
purchased under this Agreement that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as
the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2. 



        14.3         Currency of
Payments. 



             (a)    
          All payments under this Agreement and the Notes shall be made in the Available
          Currency in which the relevant Notes are denominated. 



             (b)    
          All expenses required to be reimbursed pursuant to this Agreement or the Notes
          shall be reimbursed in the currency in which such expenses were originally
          incurred. 



43










             (c)    
          To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligation of the Company
          and each Issuer Subsidiary in respect of any amount due under or in respect of
          this Agreement and the Notes, notwithstanding any payment in any currency other
          than the currency required to be used to pay such amount (as set forth in this
          Section 14.3(c)), whether as a result of (1) any judgment or order or the
          enforcement thereof, (2) the realization on any security, (3) the liquidation of
          the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary, (4) any voluntary payment by the Company
          or any Issuer Subsidiary or any of them or (5) any other reason, shall be
          discharged only to the extent of the amount of the applicable Available Currency
          that each holder of Notes entitled to receive such payment may, in accordance
          with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in such other
          currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the New York Business Day
          immediately following the day on which such holder receives such payment and if
          the amount in such Available Currency that may be so purchased for any reason is
          less than the amount originally due, the Company or the applicable Issuer
          Subsidiary shall indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all
          loss or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity
          shall constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other
          obligations contained in this Agreement and the Notes, shall give rise to a
          separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any
          indulgence granted by such holder from time to time and shall continue in full
          force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for a liquidated sum in
          respect of an amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or under any judgment
          or order. 



        14.4         Payments Free and
Clear of Taxes. 



             (a)    
          Payments. The Company and each Issuer Subsidiary will pay all amounts of
          principal of, applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes,
          and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the Notes, without set-off or
          counterclaim and free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or
          on account of, all present and future income, stamp, documentary and other taxes
          and duties, and all other levies, imposts, charges, fees, deductions and
          withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed
          by any Governmental Authority (except net income taxes and franchise taxes in
          lieu of net income taxes imposed on any holder of any Note by its jurisdiction
          of incorporation or the jurisdiction in which its applicable lending office is
          located) (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, duties, charges,
          fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called
          “Taxes”). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any
          amounts payable to a holder of any Notes, the amounts so payable to such holder
          shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield such holder (after payment
          of all Taxes) interest on any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates
          or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Taxes
          are payable by the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary, as promptly as possible
          thereafter, the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary shall send to each holder of
          the Notes, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the
          Company or such Issuer Subsidiary showing payment thereof. If the Company or
          such Issuer Subsidiary fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
          authority or fails to remit to each holder of the Notes the required receipts or
          other required documentary evidence, the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary shall
          indemnify each holder of the Notes for any taxes (including interest or
          penalties) that may become payable by such holder as a result of any such
          failure. The obligations of the Company and each Issuer Subsidiary under this
          subsection 14.4(a) shall survive the payment and performance of the Notes and
          the termination of this Agreement. 




44










             (b)    
          Withholding Exemption Certificates. On or prior to the applicable Closing
          Day, each holder of the Notes which is not organized under the laws of the
          United States of America or a state thereof shall deliver to the Company such
          certificates and other evidence as the Company may reasonably request to
          establish that such holder is entitled to receive payments under the Notes
          without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each
          such holder further agrees (i) promptly to notify the Company of any change of
          circumstances (including any change in any treaty, law or regulation) which
          would prevent such holder from receiving payments under the Notes without any
          deduction or withholding of such taxes, and (ii) on or before the date that any
          certificate or other form delivered by such holder under this Section 14.4(b)
          expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a
          change in the most recent such certificate or form previously delivered by such
          holder, to deliver to the Company a new certificate or form, certifying that
          such holder is entitled to receive payments under the Notes without deduction or
          withholding of such taxes. If any holder of the Notes which is not organized
          under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof fails to
          provide to the Company pursuant to this Section 14.4(b) (or in the case of a
          transferee of a Note, Section 13.2) any certificates or other evidence required
          by such provision to establish that such holder is, at the time it becomes a
          holder, entitled to receive payments under the Notes without deduction or
          withholding of any United States federal income taxes, such holder shall not be
          entitled to any indemnification under Section 14.4(a) for any Taxes imposed on
          such holder. 



     15.    
          EXPENSES, ETC. 



        15.1         Transaction
Expenses. 



                Whether
or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company will pay all
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of one special counsel and,
if reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent, each
Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with
any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, the Collateral
Documents or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes
effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in
enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights
under this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Notes or in responding to any
subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with
this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of
any Note, and (b) the costs and expenses, including 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
hereby, by the Collateral Documents and by the Notes. The Company will pay, and will save
each holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses
if any, of brokers and finders (other than those retained by such holder). 



        15.2         Survival. 




45











                The
obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of
any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the
Collateral Documents or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement and the
Collateral Documents. 



16.         SURVIVAL OF
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 



        All
representations and warranties contained herein, in the Collateral Documents or in any
Confirmation of Acceptance shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
Collateral Documents, such Confirmation of Acceptance and the Notes, the purchase or
transfer by any holder 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 any 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 the Collateral Documents shall be
deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Collateral Documents and the Notes embody the
entire agreement and understanding between the Prudential and the Purchasers, on the one
hand, and the Company and each Issuer Subsidiary, on the other hand, and supersede all
prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. 



17.         AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. 



        17.1         Requirements. 



                This
Agreement and the Collateral Documents may be amended, and the Company (or any Issuer
Subsidiary, as applicable) may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any
act herein required to be performed by it, if the Company (or such Issuer Subsidiary, as
applicable) shall obtain the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act,
of the Required Holder(s) of the Notes, except that: 



          	(i) 	  	
               without the written consent of the holders of all Notes of a particular Series,
               and if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, of the holders
               of all Notes of all Series, at the time outstanding, the Notes of such Series
               may not be amended or the provisions thereof waived to change the maturity
               thereof, to change or affect the principal thereof, or to change or affect the
               rate or time of payment of interest on or any Make-Whole Amount payable with
               respect to the Notes of such Series, 



               



          	(ii) 	  	
               without the written consent of the holder or holders of all Notes at the time
               outstanding, no amendment to or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall
               change or affect the provisions of Section 12 or this Section 17 insofar as such
               provisions relate to proportions of the principal amount of the Notes of any
               Series, or the rights of any individual holder of Notes, required with respect
               to any declaration of Notes to be due and payable or with respect to any
               consent, amendment, waiver or declaration, 



               



46






          	(iii) 	  	
               without the written consent of Prudential, the provisions of Section 2B may not
               be amended or waived (provided that if any such amendment or waiver would affect
               any rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of Notes which
               shall have become Accepted Notes prior to such amendment or waiver, the
               requirements of clause (iv), below, must also be satisfied), and 



               



          	(iv) 	  	
               without the written consent of all of the Purchasers which shall have become
               obligated to purchase Accepted Notes of any Series, no provision of Sections 2B
               or 3 may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver would affect the
               rights or obligations with respect to the purchase and sale of the Accepted
               Notes of such Series or the terms and provisions of such Accepted Notes. 



               



Each holder of any Note at the time
or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by this Section 17,
whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such consent. 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 “the Collateral Documents” and references thereto shall mean
this Agreement and the Collateral Documents, respectively, as they may from time to time
be amended or supplemented. 



        17.2         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 or any Series thereof then outstanding have approved
or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the
Notes or any Series thereof, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or
in the Notes or any Series thereof to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a
specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes or any Series thereof then
outstanding, Notes or any Series thereof directly or indirectly owned by the Company or
any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. 



18.         NOTICES. 



                All
notices and communications provided for hereunder (other than communication provided for
in Section 2, which shall be provided as contemplated therein) shall be in writing and
sent (a) by telefacsimile 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 registered

             (a)    
          if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Person at the address specified for
          such communications in the Purchaser Schedule attached to the applicable
          Confirmation of Acceptance, or at such other address as such Person shall have
          specified to the Company in writing, 



             (b)    
          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 



47









             (c)    
          if to the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary, to the Company at One Nu Skin Plaza,
          75 West Center Street, Provo, Utah 84601 to the attention of the Chief Financial
          Officer, or at such other address as the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary shall
          have specified to the holder of each Note in writing. 



Notices under this Section 18 will be
deemed to have been given and received when delivered at the address so specified. Any
communication pursuant to Section 2 shall be made by a method specified for such
communication in Section 2, and shall be effective to create any rights or obligations
under this Agreement only if, in the case of a telephone communication, an Authorized
Officer of the party conveying the information and of the party receiving the information
are parties to the telephone call, and in the case of a telefacsimile communication, the
communication is signed by an Authorized Officer of the party conveying the information,
addressed to the attention of an Authorized Officer of the party receiving the
information, and in fact received at the telefacsimile terminal the number of which is
listed for the party receiving the communication on the Information Schedule hereto or at
such other telefacsimile terminal as the party receiving the information shall have

19.         REPRODUCTION OF
DOCUMENTS. 



                This
Agreement, the Collateral Documents and all documents relating thereto, including, without
limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b)
documents received by any Purchaser may at the Closing Day (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, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic 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
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. 



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 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 its behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such
Purchaser other than through disclosure (x) by 





48









the Company or any Subsidiary, or (y) by
another Person known by such Purchaser to be bound by a confidentiality agreement with the
Company, 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
it in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to it,
provided that each Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to
(i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent
such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by
any Notes), (ii) its 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 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 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
the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such 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 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 (provided that such Purchaser give
prompt notice to the Company of such subpoena or legal process to the extent such
Purchaser is legally permitted to do so), (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 its Notes, this Agreement and the Collateral Documents. 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. 







21.         GUARANTEED
OBLIGATIONS. 



        21.1         Guaranteed
Obligations. 



                The
Company, in consideration of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the purchase
by the Purchasers of any Notes issued by an Issuer Subsidiary, hereby irrevocably,
unconditionally, absolutely, jointly and severally guarantees, on a continuing basis, to
each holder of Notes as and for the Company’s own debt, until final and indefeasible
payment has been made the due and punctual payment by each Issuer Subsidiary of the
principal of, and interest, and the Make-Whole Amount (if any) on, the Notes issued by
such Issuer Subsidiary at any time outstanding and the due and punctual payment of all
other amounts payable, and all other indebtedness owing, by such Issuer Subsidiary to the
holders of such Notes under this Agreement and such Notes, in each case when and as the
same shall become due and payable, 




49









 whether at maturity, pursuant to mandatory or optional
prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, all in accordance with the terms and provisions
hereof and thereof; it being the intent of the Company that the guaranty set forth herein
shall be a continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection. All of the
obligations set forth in this Section 21.1 are referred to herein as the
“Guaranteed Obligations” and the guaranty thereof set forth in this
Section 21 is referred to herein as the “Parent Guaranty.” 






        21.2         Payments and
Performance. 



                In
the event that an Issuer Subsidiary fails to make, on or before the due date thereof, any
payment to be made of any principal amount of, or interest or Make-Whole Amount on, or in
respect of, the Notes issued by such Issuer Subsidiary or of any other amounts due to any
holder of Notes under the Notes or this Agreement, after giving effect to any applicable
grace periods or cure provisions or waivers or amendments, the Company shall cause
forthwith to be paid the moneys in respect of which such failure has occurred in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Notes. In furtherance
of the foregoing, if any or all of the Notes have been accelerated as provided in Section
12.1 (and such acceleration has not been rescinded), the Guaranteed Obligations in respect
of such Notes shall forthwith become due and payable without notice, regardless of whether
the acceleration of such Notes shall be stayed, enjoined, delayed or deemed ineffective.
Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the obligations of the Company hereunder except the
full, final and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. 



        21.3         Releases.

          	(iv) 	  	
               amend, modify or supplement in any manner whatsoever and at any time (or from
               time to time) any one or more of the Notes, this Agreement, or any other

          	(vi) 	  	
               sell, exchange, release, accept, surrender or enforce rights in, or fail to
               obtain or perfect or to maintain, or cause to be obtained, perfected or
               maintained, the perfection of any security interest or other Lien on, by action
               or inaction, any property at any time pledged or granted as security in respect
               of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether so pledged or granted by the Company, any
               Issuer Subsidiary or any other Person. 



               



                The
Company hereby ratifies and confirms any such action specified in this Section 21.3 and
agrees that the same shall be binding upon the Company. The Company hereby waives any and
all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which the Company might or could have by reason
thereof.

          	(iii)

51 












          	  	  	
                Subsidiary or any other guarantor, the Company being bound to the payment
               of each and all Guaranteed Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter
               accruing, as fully as if such Guaranteed Obligations were directly owing to each

          	(ix) 	  	
               any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the
               defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully, finally and
               indefeasibly paid) of any Issuer Subsidiary or by reason of the cessation from

               redemption or extension law now or at any time hereafter in force that, but for
               this waiver, might be applicable to any sale of property of the Company made
               under any judgment, order or decree based on this Agreement, and the Company
               covenants that it will not at any time insist upon or plead, or in any manner
               claim or take the benefit or advantage of any such law; and 



               



          	(xi) 	  	
               at all times prior to full, final and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed
               Obligations, any claim of any nature arising out of any right of indemnity,
               contribution, reimbursement, indemnification or any similar right or any claim
               of subrogation (whether such right or claim arises under contract, common law or
               statutory or civil law (including, without limitation, section 509 of the United
               States Bankruptcy Code)) arising in respect of any payment made under this
               Agreement or in connection with this Agreement, against any Issuer Subsidiary or
               the estate of any Issuer Subsidiary (including Liens on the property of any
               Issuer Subsidiary or the estate of any Issuer Subsidiary), in each case whether
               or not any Issuer Subsidiary at any time shall be the subject of any proceeding
               brought under any Bankruptcy Law, and the Company further agrees that, except as
               provided in Section 21.9, it will not file any claims against any Issuer
               Subsidiary or the estate of any Issuer Subsidiary in the course of any such
               proceeding or otherwise, and further agrees that each holder of Notes may
               specifically enforce the provisions of this clause (xi). 



               



        21.5         Marshaling. 



The Company
consents and agrees: 



             (a)    
          that each holder of Notes, and each Person acting for the benefit of one or more
          of the holders of Notes, shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in
          favor of the Company or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed
          Obligations; and 



             (b)    
          that, to the extent that any Issuer Subsidiary makes a payment or payments to
          any holder of Notes, which payment or payments or any part thereof are
          subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
          or required, for any of the foregoing reasons or for any other reason, to be
          repaid or paid over to a custodian, trustee, receiver or any other party under
          any Bankruptcy Law, other common or civil law, or equitable  




52











      cause, then, to the
          extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to
          be satisfied thereby shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as
          if such payment or payments had not been made and the Company shall be primarily
          liable for such obligation. 





        21.6         Immediate Liability. 



                The
Company agrees that the liability of the Company in respect of this Parent Guaranty shall
be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by any holder of
Notes or any other Person of whatever remedies such holder of Notes or other Person may
have against any Issuer Subsidiary or any other guarantor or the enforcement of any Lien
or realization upon any security such holder of Notes or other Person may at any time
possess. 



        21.7         Primary Obligations. 



                This
Parent Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of the Company and is an absolute,
unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment and shall remain in full
force and effect without respect to any action by any holder of Notes specified in Section
21.3 hereof or any future changes in conditions, including, without limitation, change of
law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the issuance or assumption of any
obligations (including, without limitation, the Notes) of or by any Issuer Subsidiary or
any other guarantor, or with respect to the execution and delivery of any agreement
(including, without limitation, the Notes and this Agreement) by any Issuer Subsidiary or
any other Person. 



        21.8         No Reduction or
Defense. 



                The
obligations of the Company under this Agreement, and the rights of any holder of Notes to
enforce such obligations by any proceedings, whether by action at law, suit in equity or
otherwise, shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination,
whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever or otherwise (other than
payment in full of all amounts owing hereunder or under the Notes), including, without
limitation, claims of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not
be subject to any defense (other than any defense based upon the irrevocable payment in
full of the obligations under this Agreement and the Notes), set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever. 



                Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Company shall not be
discharged or impaired by: 



             (a)    
          any default (including, without limitation, any Default or Event of Default),
          failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any obligations by
          any Issuer Subsidiary or any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates; 



53









             (b)    
          any proceeding of, or involving, any Issuer Subsidiary under any Bankruptcy Law,
          or any merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, sale of
          assets or winding up or change in corporate constitution or corporate identity
          or loss of corporate identity of any Issuer Subsidiary or any of its
          Subsidiaries or Affiliates; 



             (c)    
          any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of, or
          dissolution or change in the directors, stockholders or status of, any Issuer
          Subsidiary or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person (other than the
          Company); 



             (d)    
          impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of any Issuer Subsidiary
          under this Agreement or the Notes; 



             (e)    
          the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of the Notes, this Agreement or
          any documents referred to therein or herein; 



             (f)    
          in respect of any Issuer Subsidiary, any change of circumstances, whether or not
          foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to any Issuer Subsidiary, or
          impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor
          disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared),
          terrorist activities, civil commotions, acts of God or the public enemy, delays
          or failure of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials or any other
          causes affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not beyond
          the control of any Issuer Subsidiary and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore
          specified; 



             (g)    
          any attachment, claim, demand, charge, Lien, order, process, encumbrance or any
          other happening or event or reason, similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, or
          any withholding or diminution at the source, by reason of any taxes,
          assessments, expenses, indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of any
          character, foreseen or unforeseen, and whether or not valid, incurred by or
          against any Person, corporation or entity, or any claims, demands, charges,
          Liens or encumbrances of any nature, foreseen or unforeseen, incurred by any
          Person, or against any sums payable under this Agreement or the Notes, so that
          such sums would be rendered inadequate or would be unavailable to make the
          payments herein provided; or 



             (h)    
          any order, judgment, decree, ruling or regulation (whether or not valid) of any
          court of any nation or of any governmental authority or agency thereof, or any
          other action, happening, event or reason whatsoever which shall delay, interfere
          with, hinder or prevent, or in any way adversely affect, the performance by any
          Issuer Subsidiary of its obligations under this Agreement or the Notes, as the
          case may be. 



        21.9         Subordination. 



                In
the event that, for any reason whatsoever, any Issuer Subsidiary is now or hereafter
becomes indebted or obligated to the Company in any manner, the Company agrees that the
amount of such obligation, interest thereon if any, and all other amounts due with respect
thereto, shall, at all times during the existence of a Default or an Event of Default, be
subordinate as to time of payment and in all other respects to all the Guaranteed
Obligations, and the Company shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment thereof
until all sums then due and owing to the holders of the Notes in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, except
that the Company may enforce (and shall enforce, at the request of the Required Holders,
and at the Company’s expense) any obligations in respect of any such obligation owing
to the Company from any Issuer Subsidiary so long as all proceeds in respect of any
recovery from such enforcement shall be held by the Company in trust for the benefit of
the holders of the Notes, to be paid thereto as promptly as reasonably possible.  






54 













If any
other payment, other than pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, shall have been
made to the Company by any Subsidiary in respect of any such obligation during any time
that a Default or an Event of Default exists and there are Guaranteed Obligations
outstanding, the Company shall hold in trust all such payments for the benefit of the
holders of Notes, to be paid thereto as promptly as reasonably possible. 





        21.10         No Election. 



                Each
holder of Notes shall, individually or collectively, have the right to seek recourse
against the Company to the fullest extent provided for herein for its obligations under
this Agreement. No election to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any
party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of such holder’s right to
proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless such
holder of Notes has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by or on behalf of any
holder of Notes against an Issuer Subsidiary or any other Person under any document or
instrument evidencing obligations of such Issuer Subsidiary or such other Person to or for
the benefit of such holder of Notes shall serve to diminish the liability of the Company
under this Agreement except to the extent that such holder of Notes unconditionally shall
have realized payment by such action or proceeding. 



        21.11         Severability. 



                Each
of the rights and remedies granted under this Section 21 to each holder of Notes in
respect of the Notes held by such holder may be exercised by such holder without notice
to, or the consent of or any other action by, any other holder of Notes. 



        21.12         Appropriations. 



                Until
all amounts which may be or become payable by all Issuer Subsidiaries under or in
connection with this Agreement or the Notes or by the Company under or in connection with
this Agreement have been irrevocably paid in full, any holder of Notes (or any trustee or
agent on its behalf) may refrain from applying or enforcing any moneys, security or rights
held or received by such holder of Notes (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in
respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it
sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and the Company shall not be
entitled to the benefit of the same; provided, however, that any payments received from
any Issuer Subsidiary, or the Company on behalf of any Issuer Subsidiary, will be applied
to amounts owing by such Issuer Subsidiary hereunder or in respect of the Notes issued by
it. 



        21.13         Other Enforcement
Rights. 



                Each
holder of Notes may proceed to protect and enforce this Agreement by suit or suits or
proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy or insolvency, and whether for the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein or in execution or aid of any
power herein granted, or for the recovery of judgment for the obligations hereby
guarantied or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available
under applicable law. 




55










        21.14               Invalid
Payments.



                To
the extent that any payment is made to any holder of Notes in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations by any Person, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated,
declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required, for any of the foregoing
reasons or for any other reason, to be repaid or paid over to a custodian, trustee,
receiver, administrative receiver, administrator or any other party or officer under any
Bankruptcy Law, or any other common or civil law or equitable cause, then to the extent of
such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall
be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made and
the Company shall be primarily liable for such obligation. 



        21.15            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 upon any holder of Notes 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. 



        21.16         Restoration of
Rights and Remedies. 



                If
any holder of Notes shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy
under this Agreement or any Note held by such holder and such proceeding shall have been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to such
holder, then and in every such case each such holder of Notes, the Issuer Subsidiary which
is the issuer of such Notes and the Company shall, except as may be limited or affected by
any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to its
respective former position hereunder and thereunder, and thereafter the rights and
remedies of such holder of Notes shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted. 



        21.17         No Setoff or
Counterclaim. 



	  	
Except
as otherwise required by law, each payment by the Company shall be made without setoff or
counterclaim. 






        21.18         Further Assurances. 



                The
Company will cooperate with the holders of the Notes and execute such further instruments
and documents as the Required Holders shall reasonably request to carry out, to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Required Holders, the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the Notes and the documents and instruments related hereto and thereto. 




56








        21.19         Survival.



                So
long as the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been fully and finally performed and
indefeasibly paid, the obligations of the Company under this Parent Guaranty shall survive
the transfer and payment of any Note and the payment in full of all the Notes. 



22.         JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS. 



        22.1         Consent to
Jurisdiction. 



                The
Company and each Issuer Subsidiary irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of any New York State or United States federal court sitting in New York City, and
irrevocably waives its own forum, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any Note. The Company and each Issuer Subsidiary irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, any objection
which it may have 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. The
Company and each Issuer Subsidiary agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought
in such court shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company and each Issuer Subsidiary
may be enforced in the courts of the United States, the State of New York (or any other
courts to the jurisdiction of which the Company is or may be subject) by a suit upon such
judgment, provided that service of process is effected on the Company or such
Issuer Subsidiary in one of the manners specified below or as otherwise permitted by law. 



        22.2         Service of Process. 



        
        The
Company and each Issuer Subsidiary hereby consents to process being served in any suit,
action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 22.1 by the mailing of a copy
thereof by registered or certified air mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to
the address of the Company or such Issuer Subsidiary set forth in Section 18. The Company
and each Issuer Subsidiary irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do
so under applicable law, all claim of error by reason of any such service and agrees that
such service (a) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the
Company or such Issuer Subsidiary in any such suit, action or proceeding, and (b) shall,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, be taken and held to be valid personal service
upon the Company. 



        22.3         No Limitation on
Service or Suit. 



        Nothing
in this Section 22 shall affect the right of any hold        er of the Notes to serve process in
any manner permitted by law or limit the right of any holder of the Notes to bring
proceedings against the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary in the courts of any jurisdiction
or jurisdictions or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one
jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction. 



57









23.         MISCELLANEOUS. 



        23.1         Successors and
Assigns. 



                All

         (e)       
          counterparts of a Subordination Agreement, executed by each of the parties
          thereto; 



         [(f)       
          counterparts of the Subsidiary Guaranty, together with all schedules and
          exhibits thereto, executed by each of the parties thereto;] 



         [(f)][(g)]       
          originals of the Notes, executed by the [Company] [Issuer Subsidiary]; 



         [(g)][(h)]       
          certificates of public officials from the States of Delaware and Utah [and
          _____________ [for the applicable Issuer Subsidiary]] as I have deemed necessary
          for the purpose of rendering this opinion; 








         [(h)][(i)]       
          the Charter Documents of the Company[, the Issuer Subsidiary] and the
          Subsidiaries, in each case as amended to date; 



         [(i)][(j)]       
          certified copies of resolutions of the [Board of Directors] of the Company[, the
          Issuer Subsidiary] and of each Subsidiary relating to the respective Transaction
          Documents; and 



         [(j)][(k)]       
          such other documents, instruments and certificates as I have deemed necessary
          for the purpose of rendering this opinion. 



        In
my examination of the Transaction Documents, to the extent my opinions set forth below are
dependent thereon, I have assumed without independent investigation that (i) each
party to each Transaction Document (other than any Note Party) is a corporation or other
entity duly incorporated or otherwise organized and validly existing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, (ii) each party to each Transaction
Document (other than any Note Party) has full corporate power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform each Transaction Document to which it is a party, (iii) the execution,
delivery and performance by each party (other than any Note Party) of each Transaction
Document to which it is a party has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action, (iv) the genuineness of all signatures (other than those of any Note Party),
(v) the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, (vi) the
conformity to originals of all such documents submitted to me as copies, (vii) each
Transaction Document has been duly executed and delivered by each of the parties thereto
(other than any Note Party), and (viii) the Company has, or will have at the relevant
time, rights in the Pledged Securities (as hereinafter defined) in which the Company has
granted a security interest to the Collateral Agent within the meaning of Section
9-203(b)(2) of the NYUCC (as hereinafter defined) at all times
relevant to this opinion. 



        As
to all questions of fact material to my opinions below, I have relied upon, without
independent investigation, and assumed the accuracy and completeness of, the
representations and warranties of the parties to the Transaction Documents contained in
the Transaction Documents and the certificates of such parties or their officers,
partners, or managers, as the case may be, or of public officials. I have made no
independent investigation of any of the facts stated in any of the representations. 



        Based
upon and subject to the foregoing and subject to the limitations and qualifications set
forth below, I am of the opinion that: 



          		    1.       
               The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good
               standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of Delaware and is duly
               qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in the
               State of Utah. [The Issuer Subsidiary has been duly incorporated and is validly
               existing and in good standing as a corporation under the laws of the State of
               [________] and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is
               in good standing in the State of Utah.] Each Subsidiary has been duly
               [incorporated in its respective state of incorporation and is validly existing
               and in good standing as corporation under the laws of such state] [alternative
               language, as appropriate, if any Subsidiary is not a corporation], and each
               Subsidiary that is a Delaware corporation is duly qualified as a foreign
               corporation to do business, and is in good standing, in the State of Utah. 



               













          		    2.       
               The execution, delivery and performance by each Note Party of each Transaction
               Document to which it is a party are within its corporate powers and have been
               duly authorized by all necessary [corporate] [alternative language, as
               appropriate, if any Subsidiary is not a corporation] action. The execution,
               delivery and performance by each Note Party of each Transaction Document to
               which it is a party do not, and will not, contravene its respective Charter
               Documents or any Applicable Laws. 



               



          		    3.       
               No order, filing, consent or approval of any Governmental Authority under
               Applicable Laws or filing with any Governmental Authority is required on the
               part of any Note Party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance
               by such Note Party of any Transaction Document to which it is a party except as
               expressly contemplated by the Transaction Documents and except such as have been
               made or obtained and are in full force and effect and routine governmental
               filings required in the ordinary course of business. 



               



          		    4.       
               Each Transaction Document has been duly executed and delivered by each Note
               Party that is a party thereto. 



               



          		    5.       
               Each Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
               each Note Party, enforceable against each such Note Party in accordance with its
               respective terms. 



               



          		    6.       
               Neither the extension of credit evidenced by the Notes nor the use of proceeds
               thereof will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the
               Federal Reserve System. 



               



          		    7.       
               The Pledge Agreement and delivery to the Collateral Agent in the State of New
               York of the security certificates representing the shares of stock identified in
               Schedule I to the Pledge Agreement (the “Pledged Securities”)
               endorsed to the Collateral Agent or in blank, created in favor of the Collateral
               Agent, as security for the payment of the Secured Obligations (as defined in the
               Pledge Agreement), a perfected security interest under the Uniform Commercial
               Code as in effect on the date of the Pledge Agreement in the State of New York
               (the “NYUCC”) in the Pledged Securities, and such perfected
               security interest continues to be in full force and effect. Assuming the
               Collateral Agent acquired its interest in such Pledged Securities in good faith
               and without notice of any adverse claims (as to which I express no opinion), the
               Collateral Agent has acquired its security interest in such Pledged Securities
               free of adverse claims within the meaning of the NYUCC. 



               



          		    8.       
               Assuming the accuracy of (i) the Company’s representations in the first
               sentence of Section 5.13 of the Agreement and (ii) your representations in
               Section 6.1 of the Agreement, it is not necessary in connection with the
               execution and delivery of the Notes under the circumstances contemplated by the
               Agreement to register the Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended or
               to qualify an indenture in respect thereof under the Trust Indenture Act of
               1939, as amended. 



               









          		    9.       
               No Note Party is an “investment company” within the meaning of the
               Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 



               



          		    10.       
               Assuming that the State of New York has a sufficient relationship to the parties
               to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated in the
               Transactions, in any proceedings duly taken in the courts of the State of Utah
               or a United States court sitting in the State of Utah to enforce any Transaction
               Document, the choice of New York law as the substantive law governing such
               Transaction Document would be recognized and such law would be applied. 



               



        At
your request, I also confirm to you the following: 



         (i)       
          The execution and delivery by each Note Party of each Transaction Document to
          which it is a party do not, and the performance by each Note Party of each
          Transaction Document to which it is a party will not, (i) violate, breach or
          result in default under, or result in the imposition of any Lien upon any
          property of any Note Party pursuant to, the [describe all material credit
          agreements] or, to my knowledge, any existing obligation or restriction on any
          Note Party under any other agreement, instrument or indenture applicable to it,
          or (ii) to my knowledge, breach or otherwise violate any existing obligation of
          or restriction on any Note Party under any order, judgment or decree applicable
          to it. 



         (ii)       
          To my knowledge, except as disclosed in the Transaction Documents, no actions,
          suits, proceedings or investigations are pending or threatened against any Note
          Party before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator that (a) could reasonably
          be expected (alone or in the aggregate) to have a Material Adverse Effect or (b)
          seek to enjoin, either directly or indirectly, the execution, delivery or
          performance by any Note Party of any Transaction Documents to which it is a
          party or the transactions contemplated thereby. 



        The
opinions and confirmations set forth herein are predicated upon, limited by and subject to
the following assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions in addition to those
set forth elsewhere herein: 



          		    A.       
               I am an attorney admitted to practice in the State of Utah. Except as set forth
               below, the opinions expressed above are limited to the laws of the State of
               Utah, the State of New York (as to the opinion expressed in paragraphs 5 and 7)
               and the federal laws of the United States, and I do not express any opinion
               herein concerning any other law. In rendering the opinions set forth in
               paragraphs 1 and 2, to the extent such opinions concern the corporations
               incorporated under Delaware law, such opinions are limited to the published
               compilations of the Delaware General Corporation Law. In rendering the opinions
               set forth in paragraph 1, to the extent such opinions concern Delaware
               corporations, I have relied solely on (i) my review of the certificates of
               incorporation certified by the Secretary of State of Delaware, (ii) my review of
               the current published compilations of the Delaware General Corporation Law
               regarding the required content and execution of a certificate of incorporation,
               (iii) Certificates of Good Standing issued by the Secretary of State of
               Delaware, and (iv) Section 105 of the Delaware General 



               









          		 Corporation Law
               regarding the required content and execution of a certificate of incorporation,
               (iii) Certificates of Good Standing issued by the Secretary of State of
               Delaware, and (iv) Section 105 of the Delaware General Corporation Law which
               provides that a certificate of incorporation duly certified by the Secretary of
               State and accompanied by the certificate of the recorder of the county in which
               it has been recorded, shall be received in all courts, public offices, and
               official bodies, as prima facie evidence of: (a) due execution, acknowledgment,
               filing and recording of the instrument; (b) observance and performance of all
               acts and conditions necessary to have been observed and performed precedent to
               the instrument becoming effective; and (c) any other facts required or permitted
               by law to be stated in the instrument. I note that the Transaction Documents are
               governed by the laws of the State of New York, and for purposes of the opinions
               expressed in paragraphs 5and 7, I have assumed that the laws of the State of New
               York are the same as the laws of the State of Utah. [Note: For any Issuer
                Subsidiary not incorporated in the State of Delaware, this paragraph
               will need to be modified to address  the relevant state.] 



               




          		    B.       
               The qualification of the confirmations requested by the words “to my
               knowledge” or “of which I have knowledge” is intended to indicate
               that I do not have current and actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such
               statement. However, except as expressly indicated in the following sentence, I
               have not undertaken any independent investigation to determine the accuracy of
               such statement. I have, however, made inquiry of each of the in-house counsel of
               the Company with respect to each matter and have also made inquiry to the Chief
               Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company with respect to
               each matter. 



               



          		    C.       
               My opinion in paragraph 5 is subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy,
               insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent
               transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar law affecting creditors’
               rights generally. 



               



          		    D.       
               My opinion in paragraph 5 is subject to the effect of general principles of
               equity, including, without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness,
               good faith and fair dealing (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in
               equity or at law) and the availability of specific performance or any other
               equitable remedy. Such principles of equity are of general application, and in
               applying such principles a court, among other things, might not allow a creditor
               to accelerate the maturity of a debt, or might decline to order the Note Parties
               to perform covenants. Such principles applied by a court might include a
               requirement that creditors act with reasonableness and in good faith. Such a
               requirement might be applied, among other situations, to the provisions of any
               Transaction Document purporting to authorize conclusive determinations by any
               Purchaser. Further, Section 2.4.e. of the Subsidiary Guaranty, which provides
               that the liabilities of the parties thereto shall not be affected by amendments,
               waivers or similar actions with respect to the Note Documents might be
               enforceable only to the extent that such amendments, waivers or other actions
               are not so material as to constitute a new contract among the parties. 



               



          		    E.       
               My opinion in paragraph 7 is subject to the following qualifications: 



               









          		    (1)       
               in the case of property that becomes Pledged Collateral (as defined in the
               Pledge Agreement) after the date hereof, Section 552 of the Federal Bankruptcy
               Code limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the
               commencement of a case under the Federal Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a
               security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by the debtor
               before the commencement of such case; 



               



          		    (2)       
               in the case of proceeds, continuation of perfection of the Collateral
               Agent’s security interest therein is limited to the extent set forth in
               Section 9-3115 of the NYUCC; 



               



          		    (3)       
               I express no opinion as to the priority of security interests as against any
               lien creditor (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(52) of the NYUCC) to the extent
               set forth in Section 9-323(b) of the NYUCC; 



               



          		    (4)       
               in the case of the issuance or other distribution in respect of the Pledged
               Collateral of additional instruments (as such term is defined in Article 9
               of the NYUCC), the security interest of the Collateral Agent therein will be
               perfected only if possession thereof is obtained in accordance with the
               provisions of Article 9 of the NYUCC; 



               



          		    (5)       
               in the case of the Pledged Collateral consisting of investment property (as
               defined in Article 9 of the NYUCC), Sections 9-312, 9-314 and 9-106 of the NYUCC
               provide that perfection of a security interest in such investment property may
               be perfected by control (as defined in Article 8 of the NYUCC) or by filing; 



               



          		    (6)       
               I have assumed that the Collateral Agent will maintain possession of the Pledged
               Securities in the State of New York; and 



               



          		    (7)       
               in the case of property of a type as to which the Federal laws of the United
               States have preempted the NYUCC with respect to the validity or perfection of
               the security interest therein, the security interest may not be valid or
               perfected without compliance with applicable Federal law. In addition, Federal
               and State securities laws may limit the right to transfer or dispose of Pledged
               Collateral which may constitute securities under such laws. 



               



          		    F.       
               I express no opinion as to any provision in the Transaction Documents providing
               for the payment or reimbursement of costs or expenses or indemnifying a party or
               the waiver of rights, to the extent such provisions may be held unenforceable as
               contrary to public policy. 



               



          		    G.       
               I express no opinion as to the enforceability of Section 14.3 of the Agreement
               and Section 2.16 of the Subsidiary Guaranty providing for the respective Note
               Party’s payments of obligations to the Purchaser in the Available Currency
               in which the Notes are denominated after a court judgment in another currency. 



               



          		    H.       
               I advise you that Section 22.1 of the Agreement and Section 4.1 of the
               Subsidiary Guaranty, which provide for non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
               of the State of New York and federal courts sitting in the State of New York,
               may not be binding on federal courts sitting in New York (or any federal
               appellate court). 



               









          		    I.       
               In addition to any other limitation by operation of law upon the scope, meaning,
               or purpose of this letter, this letter speaks only as of the date hereof. I have
               no obligation to advise the recipients of this letter of changes of law or fact
               that may occur after the date hereof even though the change may affect the legal
               analysis, a legal conclusion or any informational confirmation herein. 



               



        The
opinions expressed in this letter are solely for the use of the Purchasers, and their
successors and permitted transferees and assigns, in matters directly related to the
Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and these opinions may not be
relied on by any other persons or for any other purpose. 



Very truly yours, 




D. Matthew Dorny
