     For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Company requests the amendment of certain provisions of the Note Agreements as
hereinafter provided.

     Concurrently with the Effective Date, this Second Amendment shall be effective, but only in
the respects hereinafter set forth:

     Section 1. Amendments to Note Agreements.

     Section 1.1. Amendment to Section 9.7(c) of the Note Agreements. Section 9.7(c) of the Note
Agreements is hereby amended to read as follows:

     “(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, in the Subsidiary Guarantee or
in any Subsidiary Guarantee Supplement to the contrary, upon notice (the “Section
9.7(c) Notice”) by the Company to each holder of a Note (which Section 9.7(c) Notice
shall contain a certification by the Company as to the matters specified in clauses
(i), (ii) and (iii) below), any Subsidiary Guarantor specified in such Section
9.7(c) Notice shall cease to be a Subsidiary Guarantor and shall be automatically
released from its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantee (without the need for
the execution or delivery of any other document by the holders of Notes or any other Person) if, (i) as at the date of such

 

 

			
	NRP (Operating) LLC
	 	Second Amendment

Section
9.7(c) Notice and after giving effect to such release, no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Company and its Subsidiaries
would be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt under Section 10.6(a)(iii)
hereof, (ii) either (A) such Subsidiary Guarantor shall no longer be a Subsidiary
of the Company or (B) such Subsidiary shall not be obligated in respect of the Bank
Agreement (whether as direct obligor, guarantor or otherwise), and (iii) any fee or
other form of consideration is given to any holder of Debt of the Company expressly
for the purpose of such release (other than administration and other de minimis fees
and expenses and any other payments made to the extent that such fees and expenses
were not made to induce the holder of such Debt to consent to such release), the
holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration.”

     Section 1.2. Technical Amendments (Corrections) to Certain Sections of the Note Agreements.

     (a) Section 5.13 of the Note Agreements is hereby amended by deleting the brackets
appearing therein and substituting the number “45” therefor.

therefor.

“Section 8.3” appearing therein and substituting “Section 8.4” therefor.

     (d) Section 10.7(c) of the Note Agreements is hereby amended by deleting the phrase
“Funded Debt” appearing therein and substituting the word “Debt” therefor.

     (e) Section 13.2 of the Note Agreements is hereby amended by:

     (i) deleting the penultimate sentence appearing therein and
substituting the following sentence therefor: “Notes shall not be
transferred in denominations of less than $1,000,000, provided that if
necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire
holding of Notes of a series, one Note of such series may be in a
denomination of less than $1,000,000.” and

     (ii) deleting the reference to “Section 6.4” appearing in the last

     For Value Received, the undersigned, NRP (Operating) LLC (herein called the

Delaware, hereby promises to pay to [                    ], or registered assigns, the principal sum of
[                    ] Dollars on March 28, 2024, with interest (computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months) (a) on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate of 5.82% per
annum from the date hereof, payable semi-annually, on the 28th day of March and September
in each year, commencing with the March or September next succeeding the date hereof, until
the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and (b) to the extent permitted by law on
any overdue payment (including any overdue prepayment) of principal, any overdue payment of
interest and any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Supplement referred to
below), payable semi-annually, as aforesaid (or, at the option of the registered holder hereof, on
demand), at a rate per annum from time to time equal to the greater of (i) 7.82% or (ii) 2% over
the rate of interest publicly announced by Citibank, N.A. from time to time in New York, New York

     Payments of principal of, interest on and any Make-Whole Amount with respect to this Note are
to be made in lawful money of the United States of America at Citibank, N.A. or at such other place

     This Note is one of a series of Senior Notes (herein called the “Notes”) issued pursuant to
that certain Second Supplement dated as of March 28, 2007 (as from time to time amended

     This Note is a registered Note and, as provided in the Note Purchase Agreements, upon

instrument of transfer duly executed, by the registered holder hereof or such holder’s attorney
duly authorized in writing, a new Note for a like principal amount will be issued to, and
registered in the name of, the transferee. Prior to due presentment for

 

 

registration of transfer, the Company may treat the person in whose name this Note is
registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes, and

the principal of this Note may be declared or otherwise become due and payable in the manner, at
the price (including any applicable Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Supplement)) and with the
effect provided in the Note Purchase Agreements.

     This Note is guaranteed pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee dated June 19, 2003 as, from time
to time, supplemented and amended.

     This Note 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 law of
such State that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
