    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 $100,000,000 (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, 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 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 be secured by a
pledge of the Pledged Securities of each Material Foreign Subsidiary pursuant to
the Pledge Agreement.  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 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) 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 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.  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 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.  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 $35,000.

     

    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

     

    (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 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 executed by or on behalf of such Purchaser or such
Affiliates in connection with the proposed lending in such currency and fixing
the coupon in such currency, provided, however, that any
gain realized upon the unwinding of any such positions 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.  It is acknowledged that a Purchaser of a
Note which is to be denominated in a currency other than Dollars may, for the
purpose of achieving short form hedge accounting treatment under Financial
Accounting Standard 133, elect to enter into replacement positions (including
replacement currency and interest rate swaps) between the Acceptance Day and
Closing Day for such Note, and that any calculation of a Cancellation Fee under
Section 2B8(iv)(b) shall take into account all gains and losses realized in
connection with the unwinding of both the original positions and such
replacement positions.

     

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    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.

     

    3. CONDITIONS

hereto, and as to such other matters as such Purchaser may reasonably request
and (b) if Notes are to be issued by an Issuer Subsidiary which is not organized

to such Issuer Subsidiary, which special counsel shall be satisfactory to the
Purchasers and admitted to practice in the jurisdiction in which such Issuer
Subsidiary is incorporated or organized, addressing such matters as the
Purchasers may require.   The Company and, if applicable, the
Issuer Subsidiary hereby direct each such counsel to deliver such opinion, agree

opinion(s) will and is hereby authorized to rely on such
opinion(s).

appropriate, be satisfied by delivery of “bring-down” certifications from the
applicable officers.

     

    3B. Opinion of Purchaser’s Special

which is not organized or incorporated under United States law, such Purchaser
shall have received from its special U.S. counsel and special foreign counsel,
favorable opinions satisfactory to such Purchaser as to such matters incident to
the matters herein contemplated as it may reasonably request.

investment, (ii) not violate any applicable law or regulation (including,
without limitation, Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System) and (iii) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty
or liability on the date thereof.  If requested by a Purchaser, it
shall have received an Officer’s Certificate certifying as to such matters of
fact as it may reasonably specify to enable it to determine whether such
purchase is so permitted.

     

    3E. Payment of

    5. REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

     

    The
Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that:

     

    5.1 Organization; Power and
Authority.

     

    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 or any
Issuer Subsidiary is a party have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate (or other applicable) action on the part of the Company and such
Issuer Subsidiary, 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 and
such Issuer Subsidiary enforceable against the Company and such Issuer
Subsidiary 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 and Ownership of Shares
of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.

     

    (a) All of
the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests owned by the
Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable and are owned by the Company or a 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.

     

    (c) No
Material Subsidiary, is a party to, or otherwise subject to any legal
restriction or any agreement (other than this Agreement and customary
limitations imposed by corporate law statutes) restricting the ability of such
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
outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of such Material
Subsidiary.

     

    5.5 Financial
Statements.

     

    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 last day in each of the three fiscal years of the
Company most recently completed prior to the date as of which this
representation is made or repeated to such Purchaser (other than fiscal years
completed within 120 days prior to such date for which audited financial
statements have not been released) and consolidated statements of income, cash
flows and shareholders’ equity of the Company and its Subsidiaries for each such
year, all reported on by PricewaterhouseCoopers (which financial statements
shall in all respects be consistent with the requirements of Section 7.1(b)
hereof, including the provisos thereto) and (ii) a consolidated balance sheet of
the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of the quarterly period (if any)
most recently completed prior to such date and after the end of such fiscal year
(other than quarterly periods completed within 60 days prior to such date for
which financial statements have not been released) and the comparable quarterly
period in the preceding fiscal year and consolidated statements of income, cash
flows and shareholders’ equity for the periods from the beginning of the fiscal
years in which such quarterly periods are included to the end of such quarterly
periods, prepared by the Company (which financial statements shall in all
respects be consistent with the requirements of Section 7.1(a) hereof, including
the provisos thereto).  Such financial 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 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the
periods 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 throughout the periods involved and
show all liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Company and its Subsidiaries
required to be shown in accordance with GAAP.  The balance sheets
fairly present the condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates
thereof, and the statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows
fairly present the results of the operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries
and their cash flows for the periods indicated.  There has been no
material adverse change in the business, property or assets, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations or prospects 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.

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    5.6 Compliance
with Laws, Other Instruments, etc.

     

    The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor
and the Issuer Subsidiary (if applicable) of this Agreement, the Collateral
Documents and the Notes (as applicable) will 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 Subsidiary under, any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, note purchase or credit agreement,
corporate charter or bylaws, or any other Material agreement, lease 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
Subsidiary, or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Company or any
Subsidiary.

     

    5.7 Governmental
Authorizations, etc.

     

    No
consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration
with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution,
delivery or performance by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor and any Issuer
Subsidiary (if applicable) of this Agreement, the Collateral Documents or the
Notes (as applicable).

     

    5.8 Litigation; Observance of Agreements,
Statutes and
Orders.(a)                                                                                                           There
are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
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
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     

    (b)           Neither
the Company nor any Restricted 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) of any Governmental
Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    5.9 Taxes.

     

    The
Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to
have been filed in any jurisdiction (other than those tax returns which
individually or collectively are not Material), 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 Company or a Subsidiary, as the case
may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with
GAAP.  The Company knows of no 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
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;
Leases.

     

    The
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their
respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material,
including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet
referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Company or
any Restricted Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed
of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens
prohibited by this Agreement or the Collateral Documents.  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.

     

    5.11 Licenses, Permits,
etc.

     

    5.11(a)                      The
Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits,
franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, service marks, trademarks and
trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are
Material, without any known Material conflict with the rights of
others.

     

    (b)           To
the best knowledge of the Company, no product of the Company or any Restricted
Subsidiary infringes in any material respect any license, permit, franchise,
authorization, patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other
right owned by any other Person, except such infringements which, individually
or collectively, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

     

    (c)           To
the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person
of any right of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to any
patent, copyright, service mark, trademark, trade name or other right owned or
used by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    5.12 Compliance with
ERISA.

     

    (a) The
Company and each ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in
compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance
as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate
has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or
excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined
in Section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or
exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such
liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any
Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any ERISA
Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty
or excise tax provisions or to Section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code, other than
such liabilities or Liens as would not be, individually or in the aggregate,
Material.

     

    (b) Neither
the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains a “single employer plan” or a
Multiemployer Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA.

     

    (c) The
Company 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
Company’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 Company and its Subsidiaries is not Material or has otherwise been disclosed
in the most recent consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries.

     

    (e) The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and the
issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any transaction that
is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA or in connection with
which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the
Code.  The representation by the Company in the first sentence of this
Section 5.12(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of each
Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of the funds used to
pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by it.

     

    5.13 Private Offering by the
Company.

     

    Neither
the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar
securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or
otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other
than the Purchasers and not more than 18 other Institutional Investors, each of
which has been offered the Notes or any similar securities at a private sale for
investment.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has
taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the
Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities
Act.

     

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

    5.14 Use
of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.

     

    No part
of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or
indirectly, so as to involve the Company, any Issuer Subsidiary or any holder of
a Note in a violation of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (12 CFR 221) or Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224), or to
involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12
CFR 220).  Margin stock does not constitute more than 15% of the value
of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company
does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than
15% of the value of such assets.  As used in this Section, the term
“margin stock” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation
U.

     

    5.15 Existing Indebtedness and
Liens.

     

    Neither
the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has outstanding any Debt
except as permitted by Section 10.5.  There exists no default under
the provisions of any instrument evidencing such Debt or of any agreement
relating thereto which would constitute an Event of Default under clause (f) of
Section 11.  Neither the Company nor any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries has agreed or consented to, or agreed 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 10.3.

     

    5.16 Foreign Assets Control Regulations,
etc.

     

    Neither
the sale of the Notes by the Company or any Issuer Subsidiary hereunder nor its
use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as
amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States
Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling
legislation or executive order relating thereto.  Without limiting the
foregoing, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates (a)
is or will become a Person whose property or interests in property are blocked
pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order 13224 of September 23, 2001 Blocking
Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to
Commit, or Support Terrorism (66 Fed.  Reg.  49079 (2001))
or (b) engages or will engage in any dealings or transactions, or be otherwise
associated, with any such Person.  The Company and its Subsidiaries
and its Affiliates are in compliance, in all Material respects, with the Uniting
And Strengthening America By Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept
And Obstruct Terrorism (USA Patriot Act of 2001).  No part of the
proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder has been or will be used, directly
or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee,
political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office,
or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or
direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United
States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

     

     

    5.17 Status under Certain
Statutes.

     

    None of
the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any Issuer Subsidiary or any Restricted
Subsidiary is subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, as amended, the ICC

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

account or collective investment fund; or

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

    (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

    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 of any Series in an amount not
less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of such Series 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
of the applicable Series written notice of each optional prepayment under this
Section 8.2 not less than ten 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 Series to be prepaid, the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal
amount of each Note of such Series 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.

     

    In the
case of each partial prepayment of the Notes of any Series pursuant to Section
8.2, the principal amount of the Notes of such Series to be prepaid shall be
allocated among all of the Notes of such Series 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; 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.

     

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

     

    “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
time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to
such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page 0#CABMK” on the
Reuters Screen (or 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, or if such yields are not reported as of such time
or the yields reported are not 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

Law.

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

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.

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

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.

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 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 existence, right or franchise
could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse

Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Notes and the
other Senior Secured Creditors, a valid and perfected first priority Lien on and
security interest in the Pledged Securities of such Material Foreign Subsidiary

of any Note, a favorable opinion of counsel, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the holders of the Notes and their counsel, as to (a) the due
organization and good standing of such Pledgor, (b) the due authorization,
execution and delivery by such Pledgor of the supplement to the Pledge

(d) such other matters as the Required Holders may reasonably request, all of
the foregoing to be satisfactory in form and substance to the holders of the
Notes and their counsel; provided that the
opinion described in this clause (iii) may be given by the Company’s in-house
counsel and may contain reasonable assumptions, if necessary, relating to the
fact that such counsel may not be admitted to practice law in the applicable
jurisdiction, and (iv) such other assurances, certificates, documents, consents
or opinions as the Required Holders reasonably may require.

existing Subsidiaries has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary (but not later
than the time when such Material Domestic Subsidiary becomes an Issuer
Subsidiary or provides a guaranty or co-obligor agreement to the lenders party
to any Significant Credit Facility) the Company will (x) cause such Material
Domestic Subsidiary to execute and deliver to the holders of the Notes a
counterpart of the Subsidiary Guaranty, and (y) if the lenders party to such
Significant Credit Facility are not then party to the Amended and Restated
Collateral Agency and Intercreditor Agreement (either directly or through their
agent) cause such lenders (either directly or through their agent) to become

Agreement.  The Company shall promptly deliver to the holders of the

Incorporation (or comparable governing document), together with a good standing
certificate from the Secretary of State of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, each to be dated a recent date prior to their delivery to the
holders of the Notes, (ii) a copy of such Material Domestic Subsidiary’s Bylaws

assistant secretary of such Material Domestic Subsidiary as to (a) the
incumbency and signatures of the officers of such Material Domestic Subsidiary
executing the counterpart of the Subsidiary Guaranty, and (b) the fact that the
attached resolutions of the board of directors (or comparable governing body) of
such Material Domestic Subsidiary authorizing the execution, delivery and
performance of the counterpart of the Subsidiary Guaranty are in full force and
effect and have not been modified or rescinded, (iv) at the request of a holder

standing of such Material Domestic Subsidiary, (b) the due authorization,
execution and delivery by such Material Domestic Subsidiary of the counterpart
of the Subsidiary Guaranty, (c) the enforceability of the counterpart of the

    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.

     

    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 (and, with respect to Notes it has issued, each
Issuer Subsidiary 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, 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 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

     

    (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.

     

    (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), 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.

     

    (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.

     

    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,

     

    (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

    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 by Prudential or any Purchaser may receive
on any Closing Day (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements,
certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to
Prudential or any Purchaser, may be reproduced by Prudential or such Purchaser
by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic
or other similar process and Prudential or 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 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, 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.

     

    The
Company consents and agrees that, without any notice whatsoever to or by the
Company, except with respect to any action (but not any failure to act) referred
to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iv) below (it being understood that the Company
shall be deemed to have notice of any matter as to which any Issuer Subsidiary
has knowledge), and without impairing, releasing, abating, deferring,
suspending, reducing, terminating or otherwise affecting the obligations of the
Company hereunder, each holder of Notes, by action or inaction,
may:

     

    (i) compromise
or settle, renew or extend the period of duration or the time for the payment,
or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to, or otherwise not, enforce, or
may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one
or more of the Notes, this Agreement, or any other guaranty or agreement or
instrument related thereto or hereto;

     

    (ii) assign,
sell or transfer, or otherwise dispose of, any one or more of the
Notes;

     

    (iii) grant
waivers, extensions, consents and other indulgences of any kind whatsoever to
any Issuer Subsidiary or any other Person liable in any manner in respect of all
or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

     

    (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 guaranty or any
agreement or instrument related thereto or hereto;

     

    (v) release
or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of the Guaranteed
Obligations whether parties hereto or not; and

     

    (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.

     

    21.4 Waivers.

     

                          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company hereby waives:

     

    (i) notice of
acceptance of this Agreement;

     

    (ii) notice of
any purchase or acceptance of the Notes under this Agreement, or the creation,
existence or acquisition of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the
Company’s right to make inquiry of each holder of Notes to ascertain the amount
of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time;

     

    (iii) notice of
the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to the Company’s right to make
inquiry of each holder of Notes to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations at any reasonable time;

     

    (iv) notice of
adverse change in the financial condition of any Issuer Subsidiary or any other
guarantor or any other fact that might increase the Company’s risk
hereunder;

     

    (v) notice of
presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to the Notes or
any other instrument;

     

    (vi) notice of
any Default or Event of Default, so long as any Issuer Subsidiary has knowledge
thereof;

     

    (vii) all other
notices and demands to which the Company might otherwise be entitled (except if
such notice or demand is specifically otherwise required to be given to the
Company under this Agreement);

     

    (viii) the right
by statute or otherwise to require any or each holder of Notes to institute suit
against any Issuer Subsidiary or any other guarantor or to exhaust the rights
and remedies of any or each holder of Notes against any Issuer 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 holder of Notes by
the Company;

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (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
any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Issuer Subsidiary in respect
thereof;

     

    (x) any stay
(except in connection with a pending appeal), valuation, appraisal, 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 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;

     

    (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 (or other) constitution or corporate
(or other) identity or loss of corporate (or other) 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.  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.

     

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    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.

     

     

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    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
