 (c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made

to this Section 8.7, or to accept an offer as to all of the Notes held by the holder, within such time period shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. 
 (d) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of
such Notes together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment. The prepayment shall be made on the Proposed Prepayment Date.

of such offer, specifying: (i) the Proposed Prepayment Date, (ii) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7, (iii) that the entire principal amount of each Note is offered to be prepaid without any Make-Whole Amount,
(iv) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Proposed Prepayment Date, (v) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 required to be fulfilled prior to the giving of such notice have been

Agreement (a “Debt Prepayment Transfer”), the Company will give written notice of such Debt Prepayment Transfer to each holder of Notes. Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable

“Transfer Prepayment Date”) that is not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such notice, together with interest on the amount to be so prepaid accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date. If the Transfer
Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such notice, the Transfer Prepayment Date shall be the 45th day after the date of such notice. 
 (b) Acceptance and Payment. To accept such Transfer Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 20 days after the date of such
written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within 20 days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Transfer Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of
a Note, such offered prepayment (equal to such holder’s Ratable Portion of the Net Proceeds in respect of such Debt Prepayment Transfer) shall be due and payable on the Transfer Prepayment Date. Such offered prepayment shall be made at 100% of
the principal amount of such Notes being so prepaid, together with interest on such principal amount then being prepaid accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date determined as of the date of such prepayment.

Transfer, (iii) that such offer is being made pursuant to Section 8.8 and Section 10.10 of this Agreement, (iv) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid and that such prepayment would be without any Make-Whole
Amount, (v) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Transfer Prepayment Date and (vi) in reasonable detail, the nature of the Asset Disposition giving rise to such Debt Prepayment Transfer and

	 	“9.	AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 

 Each of the
Company and the Guarantor covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding: 
  

	 	9.1	Compliance with Law. 

 Without
limiting Section 10.4, each of the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without
limitation, ERISA, the USA Patriot Act and 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. 

 Each of the Company and
the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective 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. The foregoing insurance requirements may be met through a captive insurance company; provided that the coverage limits of insurance policies written by the captive insurance company may not exceed
$100,000,000 (or its equivalent in other currencies) in the aggregate at any time and the premiums 

  

 Exhibit A-9 








 
charged by the captive insurance company in any fiscal year may not exceed two times its statutory surplus as of the end of such fiscal year. The Company and
the Guarantor shall, upon request, furnish to any holder a certificate setting forth in summary form the nature and extent of the insurance maintained pursuant to this Section 9.2.

 Each of the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective 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 Guarantor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the
maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company or the Guarantor, as applicable, 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.  

 Each of the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, file all Material tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such
returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all
claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary, provided that neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or
claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Guarantor or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves
therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Guarantor or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  

	 	9.5	Limited Liability Company Existence, etc.  

 Subject to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its limited liability company existence and the Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and
effect its corporate existence. Subject to Section 10.2 and Section 10.10, the Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the entity existence of each of its other Subsidiaries (unless merged into the Guarantor
or a Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such entity existence, right or
franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

 Exhibit A-10 









	 	9.6	Books and Records.  

 Each of
the Company and the Guarantor will, and will cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory
jurisdiction over the Company, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. 
  

	 	9.7	Ranking of Obligations.  

 The Company will ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement and the Notes will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Company.
The Guarantor will ensure that its payment obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty) will at all times rank at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured
unsubordinated Indebtedness of the Guarantor.

the Guarantor’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to the Company, the Guarantor or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an
Affiliate. 
  

 Exhibit A-11

any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if the Company or the Guarantor is not such corporation or limited liability company, (i) such corporation or limited liability company shall have executed and delivered to each
holder of any Notes its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement (in the case of a successor to the Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty) and the
Notes in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and (ii) such corporation or limited liability company shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent

 (b) immediately before and immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. 
 No such conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the Guarantor
shall have the effect of releasing the Company or the Guarantor or any successor corporation or limited liability company that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under this
Agreement (in the case of the Guarantor, including, without limitation, the Unconditional Guaranty) or the Notes.

 Neither the
Company nor the Guarantor will, and neither will permit any Subsidiary to engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be
substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on October 1, 2008 as described in Item 1 of Part I of the Guarantor’s Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 or any business reasonably related thereto, provided that, (a) in the case of any Subsidiary acquired in a Permitted Acquisition, such acquired Subsidiary (and its permitted successors) may also
engage in the type of business activities in which such acquired Subsidiary was engaged immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition, or any business reasonably related thereto, and (b) in the case of a Person holding assets of an Acquired
Business following a Permitted Acquisition, such Person may also engage in the type of business activities in which such Acquired Business was engaged immediately prior to such Permitted Acquisition, or any business reasonably related thereto.

indemnity obligations) shall have been paid in full. 
  

	 	12A.9.	Setoff, Counterclaim or Other Deductions.

 Each holder of Notes shall, individually or collectively, have the right to seek recourse against the Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein for the Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, this Section 12A) in respect of the Notes. 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 has expressly waived such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

  

 Exhibit A-22 








 
no action or proceeding by any holder of Notes against the Company under any document or instrument evidencing obligations of the Company to such holder of
Notes shall serve to diminish the liability of the Guarantor under this Agreement (including, without limitation, this Section 12A), except to the extent that such holder of Notes finally and unconditionally shall have realized payment by such
action or proceeding. 
  

	 	12A.12.	Separate Action; Other Enforcement Rights.

protect and enforce the Unconditional Guaranty by suit or suits or proceedings in equity, at law or in bankruptcy, and whether in execution or aid of any power granted herein (including, without limitation, in this Section 12A) or for the
recovery of judgment for the obligations guarantied hereby or for the enforcement of any other proper, legal or equitable remedy available under applicable law. 
  

	 	12A.13.	Delay or Omission; No Waiver. 

 No
course of dealing on the part of any holder of Notes and no delay or failure on the part of any such Person to exercise any right hereunder (including, without limitation, this Section 12A) shall impair such right or operate as a waiver of such
right or otherwise prejudice such Person’s rights, powers and remedies hereunder. Every right and remedy given by the Unconditional Guaranty or by law to any holder of Notes may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient
by such Person. 
  

	 	12A.14.	Cumulative Remedies. 

 No remedy
under this Agreement or the Notes is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy given pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to the Notes. 
  

	 	12A.15.	Survival. 

 So long as the
Guarantied Obligations shall not have been fully paid, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 12A shall survive the transfer and payment of any Note and the payment in full of all the Notes.”

the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

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. 
 (d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the Existing

	 	4.	Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, etc. 

 The execution and delivery by the Company of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes did not, and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder do not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a
default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Foreign Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase
or credit agreement, lease, articles of organization, operating agreement, corporate charter or by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to
the Company or any Domestic Subsidiary or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Foreign Subsidiary or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any

statements (including the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2008 and the consolidated results of their operations
and cash flows for the annual period ending September 30, 2008 and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period involved except as 

  

 Exhibit B-2 








 
set forth in the notes thereto. The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements
or otherwise disclosed to the Noteholders in connection with this Amendment Agreement. 
  

	 	6.	Governmental Authorizations, etc.

 Neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority
or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws or the USA Patriot Act) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
  

	 	8.	Taxes. 

 The Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have
filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction (or extensions therefor have been timely obtained), and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon
them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of which is not
individually or in the aggregate Material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Guarantor or a Subsidiary, as the case may be,
has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company nor the Guarantor knows of any basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The Federal income tax liabilities of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined by the
Internal Revenue Service (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.

Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the Guarantor Financial Statements or purported to have been acquired by the
Guarantor or any Subsidiary after September 30, 2008 (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case, with respect to such properties of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (as such term is
defined in 

  

 Exhibit B-3 








 
the Existing Note Purchase Agreement), free and clear of Liens prohibited by the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. All leases that individually or in the
aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects. 
  

	 	10.	Licenses, Permits, etc. 

 (a) The
Guarantor and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, proprietary software, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are
Material, without known conflict with the rights of others. 
 (b) To the best knowledge of the Company and the Guarantor, no
product of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other
Person. 
 (c) To the best knowledge of the Company and the Guarantor, there is no Material violation by any Person of any
right of the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, proprietary software, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries. 
  

	 	11.	Compliance with ERISA. 

 (a) The
Guarantor and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA),
and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights,
properties or assets of the Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such
liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the aggregate Material. 
 (b) The present value of the aggregate
benefit liabilities under each of the Plans covered by Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (other than Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the
actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report, did not exceed the aggregate current value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by more than $1,000,000 in
the case of any single such Plan and by more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate for all such Plans. The term “benefit liabilities” has the meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present
value” have the meaning specified in section 3 of ERISA. 
  

 Exhibit B-4 








 (c) The Guarantor and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and
are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities) under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are Material. 
 (d) The expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Guarantor’s most recently ended fiscal year
in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries is not Material.

 (e) All Foreign Pension Plans have been established, operated, administered and maintained in compliance with all laws,
regulations and orders applicable thereto except for such failures to comply that, in the aggregate for all such failures, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All premiums, contributions and any other amounts required
by applicable Foreign Pension Plan documents or applicable laws have been paid or accrued as required, except for premiums, contributions and amounts that, in the aggregate for all such obligations, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guaranty thereof, if any), since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the
Indebtedness of the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries. Neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or such
Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to
become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
 (b) Except as
disclosed in Annex II, neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be
subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.7 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement. 
  

	 	13.	Foreign Assets Control Regulations, etc.

now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
 (b) Neither the Guarantor nor any Subsidiary has knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public
or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or to other assets or their use, except, in
each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

any Subsidiary has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them and has not disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws in each case in any manner
that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
