TO EACH OF THE PURCHASERS LISTED IN

SCHEDULE A HERETO:



Ladies and Gentlemen:



TRANSWESTERN PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
“Company”), agrees with each of the purchasers whose names appear at the end hereof (each,
a “Purchaser” and, collectively, the “Purchasers”) as follows:



Section 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.




The Company will authorize the issue and sale of: (i) $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount
of its 5.36% Senior Unsecured Series A Notes due December 9, 2020 (the “Series A Notes”)
and (ii) $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.66% Senior Unsecured Series B Notes due
December 9, 2024 (the “Series B Notes” and together with the Series A Notes, the
“Notes”). The term “Notes” shall also include any such notes issued in substitution
therefor pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement. In addition, the Notes shall be substantially in
the forms set forth in Exhibit 1(a) and Exhibit 1(b), respectively.



Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; reference
to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit
attached to this Agreement.



Section 2. SALE AND PURCHASE.




Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each
Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in
Section 3, the Series A Notes and/or the Series B Notes, as the case may be, in the principal
amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100%
of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint
obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or
non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.



Section 3. CLOSING.




The sale and purchase of the entire aggregate principal amount of the Series A Notes and
Series B Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser indicated on Schedule A hereto shall occur
at



 


 









 






the offices of Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP, 1301 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10019, at 10:00
a.m., New York time, at a closing on December 9, 2009 (the “Closing”). At the Closing, the
Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a
single Series A Note and/or Series B Note, as the case may be, (or such greater number of Series A
Notes and/or Series B Notes, as the case may be, in denominations of at least $100,000 as such
Purchaser may request) dated as of the date of the Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name
(or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of
immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to such account(s) designated by the Company in the letter provided
pursuant to Section 4.10 of this Agreement or at such other account(s) as shall be specified in
writing to the Purchasers. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any
Purchaser that is scheduled to purchase Notes on such date as provided above in this Section 3, or
any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s
satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under
this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such
failure or such nonfulfillment.



Section 4. CONDITIONS TO CLOSING.




Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at
the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the
Closing, of the following conditions:




Section 4.1. Representations and Warranties.



The representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall be true and correct
when made and as of the date of the Closing (other than any such representations and warranties

case, shall be true and correct as of such specific date). The statements of the Company and its
respective officers or Responsible Officers made in any certificates delivered pursuant to this
Agreement shall be true and correct, in all material respects, when made and as of the date of the
Closing (other than any such statements that, by their express terms, refer to a specific date
other than the date of the Closing, in which case, shall be true and correct as of such specific
date).




Section 4.2. Performance; No Default.



The Company shall have performed and complied, in all material respects, with all agreements
and conditions contained in this Agreement and the Notes required to be performed or complied with
by it prior to or at the Closing and, after giving effect to the issue and sale of the Notes (and
the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by Section 5.14) and of all other Debt to
be issued by the Company as of the date of the Closing, no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. The Company shall not have entered into any transaction since the date
of the Memorandum that would have been prohibited by Section 9(g) or Section 10(a), (b), (c), (f),
(g), (i) or (j) had such Sections applied since such date.

(c) Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept the offer to prepay made pursuant to
this Section 8.3 by causing a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company at least
five days prior to the Proposed Asset Sale Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to

rejection of such offer by such holder.



(d) Prepayment. The principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3
shall be at par and shall be equal to the amount, if any, by which the aggregate of all Net Cash
Proceeds from all of the Asset Sales referred to in Section 8.3(a) exceeds 15% of Consolidated Net

their outstanding aggregate principal amounts. The prepayment of the Notes shall be made on
the Proposed Asset Sale Prepayment Date; provided further that if any of the Excess Cash Proceeds

Advances under the New Credit Facility.

with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Asset Sale referred

Senior Financial Officer to the effect that the Company and its Subsidiaries intend to reinvest
such Net Cash Proceeds (or a portion thereof specified in such certificate) in its business (or
enter into a binding commitment with respect to such reinvestment) within 365 days after receipt of
such Net Cash Proceeds, then no prepayment need be offered by the Company pursuant to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 8.3 in respect of such Net Cash Proceeds (or the portion of such Net
Cash Proceeds specified in such certificate, if applicable), except that, if (x) any such Net Cash
Proceeds have not been so applied by the end of such 365-day period or (y) the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries have not entered into a binding commitment with respect to such application of
such Net Cash Proceeds within such 365-day period and not reinvested in its business pursuant to
such commitment within 180 days after entering into such commitment, the Company shall offer to
prepay the Notes at that time in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.3 in an
amount equal to the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds that have not been so applied pro rata with
the prepayment of the Term Advances under the New Credit Facility (if a prepayment is triggered
under the New Credit Facility under such circumstances).




Section 8.4. Change of Control Put.



(a) Notice of Change of Control or Control Event. The Company will, within three Business
Days after any Responsible Officer of the Company has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change of

(the “Proposed Change of Control Prepayment Date”). The Proposed Change of Control
Prepayment Date shall be not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such
offer (if the Proposed Change of Control Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the
Proposed Change of Control Prepayment Date shall be the 60th day after the date of such offer).



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

(f) Deferral pending Change of Control. The obligation of the Company to prepay Notes
pursuant to the offers required by paragraph (b) and accepted in accordance with paragraph (d) of
this Section 8.4 is subject to the occurrence of the Change of Control in respect of which such
offers and acceptances shall have been made. In the event that such Change of Control does not
occur on the Proposed Change of Control Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be
deferred until and shall be made on the date on which such Change of Control occurs. The Company
shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date

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



 


- 19 -









 






nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore
called for prepayment.




Section 8.6. 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 (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued
to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the
Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest
and Make-Whole Amount, 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 and cancelled and
shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any
Note.




Section 8.7. 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 or
prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in
substitution or exchange for any such Notes.




Section 8.8. Make-Whole Amount.



“Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of
the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of
such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no
event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make Whole Amount, the following
terms have the following meanings:




“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be
prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.




“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount
obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called
Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount
factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is
payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.




“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the
yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time)
on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace
Page PX1 on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued


 


- 20 -









 






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




In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be,
of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by
(a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with
accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S.
Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life
and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than
such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of
decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.




“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years
(calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal
into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of
each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of
years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement
Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining
Scheduled Payment.




“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all
payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the
Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal
were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a
date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the
amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date
pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.




“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which
such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared
to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

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



(a) Compliance with Laws, Etc. Comply, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to comply, with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders (including, without limitation, the

for such non-compliance as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.



(b) Payment of Taxes, Etc. Pay and discharge, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay and
discharge, before the same shall become delinquent, (i) all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its property and (ii) all material lawful
claims that, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien upon its property; provided, however, that
neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay or discharge any such tax,
assessment, charge or claim that is being contested in good faith and by proper proceedings and as
to which appropriate reserves are being maintained, unless and until any Lien resulting therefrom
attaches to its property and becomes enforceable.



(c) Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain,
insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations and such insurance
shall be maintained in such amounts and covering such risks as is usually carried by companies

Company or any of its Subsidiaries operates.



(d) Preservation of Corporate Existence, Etc. Except as expressly permitted by Section 10(d),
preserve and maintain, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to preserve and maintain, its legal
existence, and, except as would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, its
permits, licenses, approvals, privileges and franchises necessary to the normal conduct of its
business.



(e) Keeping of Books. Keep, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to keep, proper books of

(g) Transactions with Affiliates. Conduct, and cause each of its Subsidiaries to conduct, all
transactions otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents with any of their Affiliates on terms

(h) Covenant Regarding Subsidiaries. Upon the formation or acquisition by the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of
any political subdivision of the United States of America, within ten (10) days after such

such Subsidiary, and cause each direct and indirect parent of such Subsidiary (if it has not
already done so), to duly execute and deliver to each holder of Notes a Subsidiary Guaranty,
guaranteeing the obligations of the Company and the other Subsidiary Guarantors under the Loan
Documents and to



 


- 22 -









 






provide an opinion of outside counsel of nationally recognized standing to the effect that
each Subsidiary Guaranty is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
enforceable against such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with its terms, or (ii) notify each
holder of Notes that a Subsidiary shall not be a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and shall cause
such Subsidiary to be in compliance with Section 10(a) and Section 10(b) to the extent applicable
to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in addition to any other provisions of the Loan Documents applicable
to any Subsidiary of the Company. Each Subsidiary that has not delivered to each holder of the
Notes a Subsidiary Guaranty and the opinion required by clause (i) of this Section 9(h) is
hereinafter referred to as a “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”.



Section 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.




The Company covenants that, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, it will not, and it
will cause its Subsidiaries not to, at any time:



(a) Liens, Etc. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on or with respect to any

extensions, renewals or replacements of any of the foregoing for the same or a lesser
amount; provided that no such Lien shall extend to or cover any property other than the
property, equipment or other fixed or capital assets being acquired, constructed or
improved, and no such extension, renewal or replacement shall extend to or cover any
property not theretofore subject to the Lien being extended, renewed or replaced; and
provided, that the aggregate principal amount of the Debt secured by Liens permitted by this

notwithstanding the foregoing provision permitting the Priority Obligations Amount not to
exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (the “15% Basket”) and the proviso following
this parenthetical, the Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, use the 15%
Basket to grant, permit to exist or assume any Liens securing Debt outstanding under or
pursuant to any Qualifying Credit Facility unless and until the Notes (and any guaranty
delivered in connection therewith) shall be concurrently secured equally and ratably with
such Debt (including any guaranty delivered in connection therewith) pursuant to
documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders); provided,
however, that if the Company or any of the Subsidiaries cannot or does not wish to comply

holders of Notes describing in reasonable detail such non-compliance and the Debt to be
secured by such Lien (including details of such Lien) and (B) the Company and/or such
Subsidiary shall make, or cause to be made, effective a provision whereby the Notes will be
equally and ratably secured with the Debt with respect to which there is non-compliance with

an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders and, in any such case, the
holders of Notes shall have the benefit, to the fullest extent that, and with such priority
as, the holders of the Notes may be entitled under applicable law, of an equitable Lien on
such property and (y) the holders of the Notes shall have received a favorable opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders with respect thereto.

such default from any holder of a Note (any such written notice to be identified as a “notice

Section 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.




Section 12.1. Acceleration.

outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the
Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of
Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such
circumstances.




Section 12.2. Other Remedies.



If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether
any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the

declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company 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, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any
amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and
Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such

right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s
rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any



 


- 29 -









 






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.

holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $100,000, provided, further, that

such transfer causes such holder, its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of such holder, taken as a
whole, to own less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes (unless such transfer
causes such holder, its Subsidiaries and other Affiliates of such holder, taken as a whole, to
Dispose of all the Notes owned by any of them).

This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or thereof
may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of
the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the

date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with
respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent by the Company in respect of any of the
provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of
each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each
holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by,
or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any
security or provide other credit support, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an
inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the

concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to
each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder does not consent to such waiver or

or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No
course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any
rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such
Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement
as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.




Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc.

Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such
Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that,
to the extent permitted by applicable Law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as
the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of
business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall
likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other

original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.



Section 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.




For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to
any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries 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 (provided, however, that
any financial projections contained in any documents or material delivered to any Purchaser shall
be deemed confidential regardless of whether they are clearly marked or labeled as such) 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 such Purchaser’s behalf, (c)
otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section
7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of
such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith
to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that
such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to
the administration of the investment represented by its 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 it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof
or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such
Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from
which it offers to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior
to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20),
(vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the
NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating

about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery
or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule,
regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal
process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably
determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the
protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder
of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be
entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On
reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of
information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such
holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will
enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.



Section 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.




Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates as the purchaser
of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which
notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s
agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the
accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such
notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be
deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such
Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to
such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company
of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall
refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an
original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.



Section 22. MISCELLANEOUS.




Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns.



All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the
parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including,
without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.




Section 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days.



Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting
the requirement in Section 8.6 that the notice of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as
the date fixed for such prepayment), any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest
on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest
payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the maturity date of any Note is a
date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on



 


- 36 -









 






such maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the
additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business
Day.

Section 22.4. Severability.



Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall,
as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability
in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by Law) not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.




Section 22.5. Construction, Etc.



Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary)
as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one
covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with
any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or
which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action
is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.



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




Section 22.6. Counterparts.



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

jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan,

made and shall be subordinate, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of
payment to the prior due and punctual payment in full of all obligations of the Company now or

collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the
Obligations until the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full (“Payment in
Full”).

Subordinated Debt that are received by the Subordinated Lender contrary to the provisions of this
Subordinated Debt Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes
and shall be forthwith paid over to the holders of Notes in the same form as so received (with any

respect to any of the Obligations shall have occurred and be continuing, then no payment (including

subordinated to payment of the Subordinated Debt) shall be made by or on behalf of the Company for
or on account of any Subordinated Debt, and the Subordinated Lender shall not take or receive from

manner, including, without limitation, from or by way of collateral, payment of all or any of the
