ANNEX A TO COMMITMENT LETTER
INDEMNIFICATION AND WAIVER
     Except as otherwise defined in this Annex A, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them elsewhere in this Commitment Letter.
You hereby agree (i) to indemnify and hold harmless Jefferies Finance (“we” or “us”), the Investors and each of our and their respective affiliates and subsidiaries (including Jefferies & Company, Inc. (“Jefco”) and each of the respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, advisors, agents, representatives, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons of each of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which any such Indemnified Party, directly or indirectly, may become subject arising out of, relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing Letters (other than the Engagement Letter), the Debt Financing, the use of the proceeds therefrom, the Transactions, any of the other transactions contemplated by the Debt Financing Letters (but not for financial advisory services provided by the Financial Advisor acting in such capacity), or any action, claim, suit, litigation, investigation, inquiry or proceeding (each, a “Claim”) directly or indirectly arising out of, relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing (IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PERSON), regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a named party thereto or whether such Claim is brought by you, any of your affiliates or a third party and (ii) to promptly reimburse each Indemnified Party at any time and from time to time following written demand for all reasonable legal fees (limited to one counsel, one local counsel and, in the event of any actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel for each Indemnified Party subject to such conflict) and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any Claim, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations and waivers set forth in this Annex A); provided, however, that no Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnity and waivers hereunder in respect of any Loss to the extent that (A) it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Loss resulted directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, (B) result directly from a Claim brought by you against an Indemnified Party for a material breach of our initial funding obligations under the Commitment Letter, if you have obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such Claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (C) it results from a dispute solely between the Indemnified Parties and not (1) involving any action or inaction by you or any of your subsidiaries or (2) relating to any action of such Indemnified Party in its capacity as Administrative Agent or Arranger. In addition, in no event will any person be liable for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings), whether, directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure to fund all or any portion of the Debt Financing or otherwise arising out of, relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with the Debt Financing or arising out of, relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with any Claim or otherwise (provided that the foregoing shall in no event affect you obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party as a set forth in this Annex A for Claims not raised by such Indemnified Party). In addition, no Indemnified Party will be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of Information, Projections or other Materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted or otherwise obtained by such persons, except to the extent it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Loss resulted directly from the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

Annex A-1


 

     You shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened Claim in which any Indemnified Party is or could be a party and as to which indemnification or contribution could have been sought by such Indemnified Party hereunder whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party to any Debt Financing Letter, unless (i) such Indemnified Party and each other Indemnified Party from which such Indemnified Party could have sought indemnification or contribution have given their prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed or (ii) the settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an express unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties and their respective affiliates from all Losses, directly or indirectly, arising out of, relating to, resulting from or otherwise in connection with such Claim.
     If for any reason (other than the express carve-outs set forth above) the foregoing indemnity is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then you to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by you, on the one hand, and by us, on the other hand, from the Transactions or, if allocation on that basis is not permitted under applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions hereof, the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Parties to all Losses shall not exceed the amount of fees actually received by us and Jefco pursuant to the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter. For the purposes of this paragraph, it is hereby further agreed that (i) the relative benefits to you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total value paid or received or contemplated to be paid or received by you, your equityholders and/or your or their respective affiliates, as the case may be, in the Transactions, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, bears to (y) the fees actually paid to us and Jefco under the Fee Letter and the Engagement Letter and (ii) the relative fault of you, on the one hand, and us, on the other hand, with respect to the Transactions shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by you, any of your affiliates and/or any of your or their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, affiliates, shareholders, advisors, agents, representatives, attorneys-in-fact and controlling persons (collectively, the “Acquiror Group”) or by us, as well as your and our relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
     The indemnity, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations set forth herein (i) shall be in addition to any liability you may have to any Indemnified Party at law, in equity or otherwise, (ii) shall survive the expiration or termination of the Debt Financing Letters (notwithstanding any other provision of any Debt Financing Letter or the Definitive Debt Documents), (iii) shall apply to any modification, amendment, waiver or supplement of our and any of our affiliates’ commitment and/or engagement, (iv) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of us or any other Indemnified Party and (v) shall be binding on any successor or assign of you and the successors or assigns to any substantial portion of your business and assets.

  The Extended Term Loans will bear interest at a floating rate per annum (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the maximum amount of the Rate (including after giving effect to increases thereto pursuant to the provisions of the Fee Letter), without giving effect to any default interest.
 
   
 
  Interest will be payable in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower. Default interest will be payable on demand.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default or any payment or bankruptcy default, interest will accrue on the Extended Term Loans at the then-applicable rate plus 2.00% per annum.

Exhibit B-1


 

Exchange Notes
     At any time on or after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, upon five or more business days’ prior notice, the Extended Term Loans may, at the option of any Lender, be exchanged for a principal amount of Exchange Notes equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Term Loans so exchanged (plus any accrued interest thereon not required to be paid in cash); provided, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to issue any Exchange Notes until Lenders holding at least $50 million of Extended Term Loans request such exchange. The Borrower will issue Exchange Notes under an indenture (the “Indenture”) that complies with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. The Borrower will appoint a trustee reasonably acceptable to the Lenders.
     
Maturity Date
  The Exchange Notes will mature on the sixth anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity Date.
 
   
Interest Rate
  Each Exchange Note will bear interest (at the sole option of the holder of such Exchange Note) at (i) a fixed rate equal to the interest rate on the Extended Term Loan surrendered in exchange for such Exchange Note as of the date of such exchange or (ii) a floating rate per annum equal to three-month LIBOR (as adjusted at the end of each interest period and adjusted for all applicable reserve requirements) plus an applicable margin (to be mutually determined).
 
   
 
  Interest will be payable in arrears semi-annually. Default interest will be payable on demand.
 
   
 
  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default or a payment or bankruptcy default, interest will accrue on the Extended Term Loans at the then-applicable rate plus 2.00% per annum.
 
   
Transferability
  If the Extended Term Loans are converted to Exchange Notes, the Borrower, promptly following reasonable request by any holder of such Exchange Notes or the Administrative Agent, shall be required to ensure that such Exchange Notes are DTC-eligible.
 
   
Optional Redemption
  Exchange Notes will be non-callable until the third anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity Date (subject to “equity clawback” provisions acceptable to the Arranger). Thereafter, each Exchange Note will be callable at par plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to one half of the coupon on such Exchange Note, which premium shall decline ratably on each yearly anniversary of the Bridge Loan Maturity Date to zero on the date that is six months prior to the maturity of the Exchange Notes.
 
   
 
  Prior to the third anniversary of the date of funding of the

Exhibit B-2


 

     
 
   
 
  Bridge Loans, the Borrower may redeem such Exchange Notes at a make-whole price based on U.S. Treasury note with a maturity closest to the third anniversary of such funding date plus 50 basis points.
 
   
 
  The optional redemption provisions will be otherwise consistent with high yield debt securities.
 
   
Defeasance Provisions
  Customary defeasance provisions for high yield offerings and transactions of this type.
 
   
Modification
  Customary modification provisions for high yield offerings and transaction of this type.
 
   
Change of Control
  The Borrower will make an offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes following the occurrence of a “change of control” (to be defined in a manner consistent with Sponsor Precedent) at 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof.
 
   
Registration Rights
  Within 120 days after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date, the Borrower will file and will use its best efforts to cause to become effective as soon thereafter as practicable, a shelf registration statement with respect to the Exchange Notes (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). If a Shelf Registration Statement is filed, the Borrower will keep such registration statement effective and available (subject to customary exceptions) until it is no longer needed, as reasonably determined by the Arranger, to permit unrestricted resales of all of the Exchange Notes and in no event longer than two years. If, within 270 days after the Bridge Loan Maturity Date (the “Effectiveness Date”), a Shelf Registration Statement for the Exchange Notes has not been declared effective, then the Borrower will pay liquidated damages in the form of increased interest of 25 basis points per annum on the principal amount of Exchange Notes and Extended Term Loans outstanding to holders of such Exchange Notes and Extended Term Loans who are unable freely to transfer Exchange Notes from and including the day that is 30 days after the Effectiveness Date to but excluding the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement. On the 90th day after the Effectiveness Date, the liquidated damages shall increase by 25 basis points per annum, and on each 90-day anniversary thereafter, shall increase by 25 basis points per annum, to a maximum increase in interest pursuant to this sentence of 100 basis points per annum. The Borrower will also pay such liquidated damages for any period of time (subject to customary exceptions) following the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration

Exhibit B-3


 

     
 
   
 
  Statement that such Shelf Registration Statement is not available for sales thereunder (subject to customary exceptions). All accrued liquidated damages will be paid on each quarterly interest payment date. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of liquidated damages payable hereunder is in addition (and not otherwise subject) to any other interest rate caps or limitations contained in any Debt Financing Letter. In addition, unless and until the Borrower has consummated the registered exchange offer and caused the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective, the holders of the Exchange Notes will have the right to “piggy-back” the Exchange Notes in the registration of any debt securities (subject to customary scale-back provisions) that are registered by the Borrower (other than on a Form S-4) unless all the Exchange Notes, Bridge Loans and Extended Term Loans will be redeemed or repaid from the proceeds of such securities.
 
   
Covenants
  The Indenture will include covenants similar to those contained in indentures governing publicly traded high yield debt securities (but more restrictive in certain respects).
 
   
Events of Default
  The Indenture will provide for events of default similar to those contained in indentures governing publicly traded high yield debt securities.
