Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2011 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Credit Agreement) among Barnes & Noble Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Lead Borrower”), the other Persons party thereto as borrowers (collectively, together with the Lead Borrower, the “Borrowers”), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) and Collateral Agent (the “Collateral Agent”), and each of the financial institutions party thereto from time to time as Lenders (collectively, the “Lenders”) and/or agents.

The Lead Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it may need, and hereby requests that the Required Lenders consent to, an extension of no more than sixty (60) days after the date specified in the Credit Agreement for the delivery of annual financial statements for the fiscal year ending April 27, 2013 in accordance with Section 6.01(a) of the Credit Agreement and the related Compliance Certificate in accordance with Section 6.02(a) of the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “2013 Annual Reporting Deliverables”).

By executing and delivering this consent letter, the Administrative Agent and each undersigned Lender hereby agrees that, effective upon the Consent Effective Date (as defined below), the undersigned Required Lenders hereby (a) consent to delay of the delivery of the 2013 Annual Reporting Deliverables until the earlier of (i) September 24, 2013 and (ii) the date on which such financials are filed with the SEC (such earlier date, the “Extended Delivery Deadline”), and (b) agree that any delivery of the 2013 Annual Reporting Deliverables after the date specified in the Credit Agreement but on or before the Extended Delivery Deadline shall not result in, or be deemed to give rise to, an Event of Default.  The Lenders (x) further acknowledge and agree that the Company will not be able to deliver (or file with the SEC) the quarterly financial statements for the period ending July 27, 2013, until it has first delivered the 2013 Annual Reporting Deliverables and filed the 2013 annual financial statements included therein with the SEC, and (y) hereby waive any Default arising therefrom solely to the extent any such delayed filing of such quarterly financials results from the permitted delay in filing the annual financials.

 

 

 

  

  

  

 

Please acknowledge your consent to the matters set forth herein upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and otherwise in accordance with the Credit Agreement by executing and returning this consent letter at your earliest convenience.  The forgoing consent shall become effective, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than as a result of the failure to timely deliver the 2013 Annual Reporting Deliverables), on the date (the “Consent Effective Date”) that the following conditions have been satisfied: (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received executed signature pages hereto from the Loan Parties, the Agents and the Required Lenders, and (b) the Borrowers have paid to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders party hereto (the “Consenting Lenders”), a consent fee equal to 0.025% of the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders (the “Initial Consent Fee”); provided, that the Initial Consent Fee shall be fully earned upon the delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower of the executed signature pages of at least the Required Lenders, and thereafter shall be immediately due and payable regardless of whether any other conditions to the effectiveness of this consent letter are satisfied.

The Lead Borrower further agrees, on behalf of the Borrowers and for the benefit of the Consenting Lenders, that if the 2013 Annual Reporting Deliverables are not delivered on or before August 25, 2013, the Borrowers immediately shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Consenting Lenders, an additional consent fee equal to 0.050% of the aggregate Commitments of the Consenting Lenders.

Except as expressly provided with respect to the consent requested in this consent letter, the Credit Agreement and each of the Schedules and Exhibits and other Loan Documents related thereto shall remain in full force and effect and the Credit Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.  No delay or omission by the Administrative Agent or Lenders in exercising any power, right or remedy shall impair such power, right or remedy or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, and no single, periodic or partial exercise of any such power, right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, right or remedy under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise.  This consent letter is a Loan Document.  It may be executed in counterparts which, taken together, shall constitute an original.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of this consent letter by telecopier, PDF copy, facsimile or other electronic means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

THIS CONSENT LETTER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

FIRST SUPPLEMENT TO NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Dated as of July 29, 2013

Re:    $50,000,000 4.10% Series 2013-A Senior Notes,
due September 19, 2023

Mettler-Toledo International Inc.
1900 Polaris Parkway
Columbus, OH  43240

Dated as of
July 29, 2013

To the Purchasers listed
  in the attached Schedule A

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This First Supplement to Note Purchase Agreement (this “First Supplement”) is between Mettler-Toledo International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the institutional investors named on Schedule A attached hereto (the “Purchasers”).
Reference is hereby made to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of October 10, 2012 (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) between the Company and the purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto.  All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as specified in the Note Purchase Agreement.  Reference is further made to Section 2.2(c)(2) of the Note Purchase Agreement which requires that, prior to the delivery of any Additional Notes, the Company and each Additional Purchaser shall execute and deliver a Supplement.
The Company hereby agrees with the Purchasers as follows:
1.    The Company has authorized the issue and sale of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.10% Series 2013-A Senior Notes due September 19, 2023 (the “Series 2013-A Notes”).  The Series 2013-A Notes, together with the Series 2012-A Notes initially issued pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement and each series of Additional Notes which may from time to time hereafter be issued pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement, are collectively referred to as the “Notes” (such term shall also include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13 of the Note Purchase Agreement).  The Series 2013-A Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1 hereto with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by the Purchasers and the Company.  

2.    Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement and on the basis of the representations and warranties hereinafter set forth, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, Series 2013-A Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser's name in Schedule A hereto at a price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.  The obligations of each Purchaser hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any obligation or any liability to any Person for the performance or nonperformance by any other Purchaser hereunder.

3.    The execution and delivery of this First Supplement shall occur on July 29, 2013 (the “Execution Date”).  The sale and purchase of the Series 2013-A Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Schiff Hardin LLP, 666 Fifth Avenue, Suite 1700, New York, New York 10103 at 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on September 19, 2013 (the “Closing 

1

Date”).  At the Closing, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Series 2013-A Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Series 2013-A Note (or such greater number of Series 2013-A Notes in denominations of at least $100,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the Closing Date and registered in such Purchaser's name (or in the name of such Purchaser's nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account of the Company in accordance with the funding instructions described in Section 4(j).  If, at the Closing, the Company shall fail to tender such Series 2013-A Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to any Purchaser's satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this First Supplement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.
4.    The obligation of each Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Series 2013-A Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser's satisfaction, prior to the Closing, of the following conditions:
(a)Except as deemed modified or substituted and replaced, in each case, pursuant to Exhibit A hereto, each of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be true and correct on the Execution Date and on the Closing Date.
(b)The Company shall have performed and complied with all agreements and conditions contained in this First Supplement required to be performed or complied with by it prior to or on the Closing Date, and after giving effect to the issue and sale of the Series 2013-A Notes (and the application of the proceeds thereof as contemplated by Section 5.14 of Exhibit A hereto), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and no waiver of Default or Event of Default shall be in effect.

(c)The Company shall have delivered to such Purchaser:

(i)an Officer's Certificate, dated the Closing Date, certifying that the conditions specified in Sections 4(a), (b) and (i) have been fulfilled; 

(ii)an Officer's Certificate stating that such officer has reviewed the provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement (including all Supplements) and setting forth the information and computations (in sufficient detail) required to establish whether after giving effect to the issuance of the Series 2013-A Notes and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, the Company will be in compliance with the requirements of Section 10.2 of the Note Purchase Agreement on such date; and

(iii)a certificate of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, dated the Closing Date, certifying as to the resolutions attached thereto and other corporate proceedings relating to the authorization, execution and delivery of the Series 2013-A Notes and this First Supplement.

(d)Such Purchaser shall have received opinions in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser, dated the Closing Date (i) from Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, special counsel for the Company, covering the matters set forth in Exhibit 4(d)(i) to this First Supplement and covering such other matters incident to the transactions contemplated hereby as such Purchaser or special counsel to the Purchasers may reasonably request (and the Company hereby instructs its counsel to deliver such opinion to the Purchasers) and (ii) from Schiff Hardin LLP, special counsel 

2

to the Purchasers in connection with such transactions, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit 4(d)(ii) to this First Supplement and covering such other matters incident to such transactions as such Purchaser may reasonably request.

(e)On the Closing Date, such Purchaser's purchase of Series 2013-A Notes shall (i) be permitted by the laws and regulations of each jurisdiction to which such Purchaser is subject, without recourse to provisions (such as Section 1405(a)(8) of the New York Insurance Law) permitting limited investments by insurance companies without restriction as to the character of the particular investment, (b) 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 (c) not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty or liability under or pursuant to any applicable law or regulation, which law or regulation was not in effect on the Execution Date.  If requested by such Purchaser, such Purchaser shall have received an Officer's Certificate certifying as to such matters of fact as such Purchaser may reasonably specify to enable such Purchaser to determine whether such purchase is so permitted.

(f)On the Closing Date, the Company shall sell to each other Purchaser and each other Purchaser shall purchase the Series 2013-A Notes to be purchased by it on the Closing Date as specified in Schedule A to this First Supplement.

(g)Without limiting the provisions of Section 15.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement, the Company shall have paid on or before the Closing Date, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of special counsel to the Purchasers referred to in Section 4(d)(ii) to the extent reflected in a statement of such counsel rendered to the Company at least one Business Day prior to such date.

(h)A Private Placement Number issued by Standard & Poor's CUSIP Service Bureau (in cooperation with the Securities Valuation Office of the NAIC) shall have been obtained for the Series 2013-A Notes.

(i)The Company shall not have changed its jurisdiction of incorporation or been a party to any merger or consolidation or succeeded to all or any substantial part of the liabilities of any other entity, at any time following the date of the most recent financial statements referred to in Schedule 5.5 to Exhibit A to this First Supplement.

(j)At least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, such Purchaser shall have received written instructions signed by a Responsible Officer on letterhead of the Company directing the manner of the payment of funds and setting forth (a) the name and address of the transferee bank, (b) such transferee bank's ABA number and (c) the account name and number into which the purchase price for the Series 2013-A Notes is to be deposited.

(k)All corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this First Supplement and all documents and instruments incident to such transactions shall be satisfactory to such Purchaser and special counsel to the Purchasers, and such Purchaser and special counsel to the Purchasers shall have received all such counterpart originals or certified or other copies of such documents as such Purchaser or special counsel to the Purchasers may reasonably request.

5.    The following provisions shall apply only to the Series 2013-A Notes: 

3

(a)    Required Prepayments for the Series 2013-A Notes.  As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of the Series 2013-A Notes shall become due and payable on the stated maturity date thereof.
(b)    Default Rate for the Series 2013-A Notes. “Default Rate” shall mean, with respect to the Series 2013-A Notes, that rate of interest that is the greater of (i) 2.00% per annum above the rate of interest stated in clause (a) of the first paragraph of the Series 2013-A Notes or (ii) 2.00% over the rate of interest publicly announced by Bank of America, N.A. in New York, New York as its “reference” rate.
(c)    Make‐Whole Amount for the Series 2013-A Notes.  “Make-Whole Amount” shall mean, with respect to any Series 2013-A 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 Series 2013-A 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” shall mean, with respect to any Series 2013-A Note, the principal of such Series 2013-A 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” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2013-A 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 Series 2013-A Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
“Reinvestment Yield” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2013-A Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by (a) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury Securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (b) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury Securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.
In the case of each determination under clause (a) or clause (b), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (i) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (ii) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury Security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury Security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining 

4

Average Life.  The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of such Series 2013-A Note.
“Remaining Average Life” shall mean, with respect to any Called Principal of any Series 2013-A Note, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
“Remaining Scheduled Payments” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2013-A Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Series 2013-A Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.
“Settlement Date” shall mean, with respect to the Called Principal of any Series 2013-A Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
6.    Each Purchaser represents and warrants that the representations and warranties set forth in Section 6 of the Note Purchase Agreement are true and correct as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date with respect to the purchase of the Series 2013-A Notes by such Purchaser with the same force and effect as of each reference to “Series 2012-A Notes” set forth therein was modified to refer to the “Series 2013-A Notes.”
7.    The Company and each Purchaser agree to be bound by and comply with the terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement as supplemented by this First Supplement as fully and completely as if such Purchaser were an original signatory to the Note Purchase Agreement.
8.    All references in the Note Purchase Agreement and all other instruments, documents and agreements relating to, or entered into in connection with the foregoing documents and agreements, to the Note Purchase Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Note Purchase Agreement, as supplemented by this First Supplement.
9.    Except as expressly supplemented by this First Supplement, all terms and provisions of the Note Purchase Agreement remain unchanged and continue, unabated, in full force and effect and the Company hereby reaffirms its obligations and liabilities under the Note Purchase Agreement.
10.    This First Supplement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
11.    Any provision of this First Supplement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without 

5

invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
12.    All covenants and other agreements contained in this First Supplement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 
13.    This First Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.  Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

6

The execution hereof shall constitute a contract between the Company and the Purchasers for the uses and purposes hereinabove set forth.

SUPPLEMENTAL REPRESENTATIONS
The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that, except as hereinafter deemed modified or substituted and replaced pursuant to this Exhibit A, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement is true and correct as of the Execution Date and as of the Closing Date.  For purposes of the representation and warranty set forth above, (a) each reference to “Series 2012-A Notes” set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be deemed modified to refer to “Series 2013-A Notes,” each reference to “this Agreement” set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be deemed modified to refer to “the Note Purchase Agreement as supplemented by the First Supplement” and each reference to “the Purchasers” set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be deemed modified to refer to “the institutional investors named on Schedule A to the First Supplement” and (b) the corresponding sections of Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreement are hereby substituted and replaced by the following:
Section 5.3    Disclosure.  The Note Purchase Agreement, the First Supplement and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered or otherwise made available to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and identified in Schedule 5.3 to the First Supplement and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 to this Exhibit A (the Note Purchase Agreement, the First Supplement and such documents, certificates or other writings and financial statements delivered or otherwise made available to each Purchaser prior to June 24, 2013 being referred to, collectively, as the “Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made.  Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents since December 31, 2012, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or any Subsidiary except changes that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There is no fact known to the Company that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.
Section 5.4    Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries.  
(a)Schedule 5.4 to this Exhibit A contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of the Company's Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization and, with respect to each Material Subsidiary, the percentage of shares of each class of its Capital Stock outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary.

(b)All of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 to this Exhibit A as being owned by the Company and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4 to this Exhibit A).

(c)Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 to this Exhibit A 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 

Exhibit A
(to First Supplement to Note Purchase Agreement)

or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d)     No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal, regulatory, contractual or other restriction (other than the Note Purchase Agreement, the agreements listed on Schedule 5.4 to this Exhibit A and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or similar statutes) restricting its ability to make Restricted Payments to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary, except for such restrictions that do not impair the Company's ability to perform its obligations under the Note Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, its obligation to make payments hereunder and under the series 2013-A Notes.
Section 5.5    Financial Statements; Material Liabilities.  The Company has delivered or otherwise made available to each Purchaser copies of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5 to this Exhibit A.  All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such Schedule and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).  The Company and its Subsidiaries do not have any Material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Documents.
Section 5.9    Taxes.  The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all federal, state and other material 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 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.  The federal income tax liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries have been finally determined (whether by reason of completed audits or the statute of limitations having run) for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.
Section 5.13     Private Offering by the Company.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Series 2013-A 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 four other Institutional Investors of the type described in clause (c) of the definition thereof, each of which has been offered the Series 2013-A Notes at a private sale for investment.  Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Series 2013-A Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or the registration requirements of any Securities or blue sky laws of any applicable jurisdiction.
    

E - A - 1

Section 5.14    Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations.  The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the Series 2013-A Notes for general corporate purposes of the Company.  No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Series 2013-A Notes pursuant to the First Supplement will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any Securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220).  Margin stock does not constitute more than 25% of the value of the consolidated total assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 25% of the value of such assets.  As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.
    
Section 5.15    Existing Indebtedness.  

(a)Except as described therein, Schedule 5.15 to this Exhibit A sets forth, as of June 30, 2013, (1) a complete and correct list of all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (other than Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) having an outstanding principal balance in excess of $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment) (including a description of the obligors and obligees, principal amount outstanding and collateral therefor, if any, and Guarantee thereof, if any), since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of such Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries and (2) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of obligations that, individually, have an outstanding principal balance of $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment) or less, since which date there has been no Material change in the aggregate amount thereof.  Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary having an outstanding principal amount in excess of $10,000,000 (or its equivalent in the relevant currency of payment) that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

(b)Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15 to this Exhibit A, neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.4.

(c)Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Indebtedness of the Company, except for the Bank Credit Agreement and other instruments and agreements evidencing Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, none of which contain any such provisions that are more restrictive than those contained in the Bank Credit Agreement.

E - A - 2

Section 5.19    Notes Rank Pari Passu.  The obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Series 2013-A Notes rank pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured Senior Indebtedness (actual or contingent) of the Company, including, without limitation, all unsecured Senior Indebtedness of the Company described in Schedule 5.15 to this Exhibit A.
