Each Obligor jointly and severally represents and warrants to each Purchaser that:

The Company is a corporation or entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified and licensed 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.

Section 5.2 Authorization, Etc. The Financing Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of each Obligor party thereto, and when executed and delivered hereunder, will have been duly executed and delivered by each Obligor party thereto. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents when executed and delivered constitute a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Obligor party thereto enforceable against each such Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by

(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 5.3 Disclosure. This Agreement, the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 and the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Obligors in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (this Agreement and such documents, certificates or other writings and such financial statements delivered to each Purchaser 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, the Company represents only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time. Since September 30, 2016, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, except changes that could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Obligors that could 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; Affiliates.

Such written notice shall contain, and such written notice shall constitute, an irrevocable offer (Term Facility Related Prepayment Offer) to prepay, at the election of each holder, at par (and without any payment of the Make-Whole Amount), a portion of the Notes held by such holder in an amount equal to such holders Ratable Amount on a date specified in such notice (the Term Facility Related Prepayment Date) that is not less than 20 days and not more than 45 days after the date of such notice, together with interest on the amount to be prepaid accrued to the Term Facility Related Prepayment Date.

To accept such Term Facility Related Prepayment Offer, a holder of Notes shall cause a notice of such acceptance to be delivered to the Company not later than 15 days after the date of such written notice from the Company, provided, that failure to accept such offer in writing within 15 days after the date of such written notice shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of the Term Facility Related Prepayment Offer. If so accepted by any holder of a Note, the amount of such offered prepayment (equal to not less than such holders Ratable Amount ) shall become due and payable on the Term Facility Related Prepayment Date and shall be delivered to such holder of Notes for application on such date in accordance with the terms hereof.

In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes (without regard to series) at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the Company may defer or abandon such prepayment upon written notice to the holders of the Notes. The Company shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (ii) the date on which such prepayment is expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the Company to rescind such notice of prepayment.

(e) Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment and the Make-Whole Amount.

Control Event means:
(i) the execution by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any agreement or letter of intent with respect to any proposed transaction or event or series of transactions or events which, individually or in the aggregate, may reasonably be expected to result in a Change in Control, or
(ii) the execution of any written agreement which, when fully performed by the parties thereto, would result in a Change in Control.
25
Section 8.8 Make-Whole Amount.
Make-Whole Amount means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:
Called Principal means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.7 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
Discounted Value means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
Reinvestment Yield means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as Page PX1 (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (Reported) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then Reinvestment Yield means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity 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 the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less
26
than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.
Remaining Average Life means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.
Remaining Scheduled Payments means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the 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 8.5 or Section 12.1.
Settlement Date means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.7 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
Section 8.9 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.5 that the notice of any prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

SECTION 12. Remedies on Default, Etc.

(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in Section 11(g) or (h) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(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, the Required Holders may at 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 Section 11(a) or (b)) 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 (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) 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 acknowledges, 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 (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
Section 12.2 Other Remedies.
(a) 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 or in any other Financing Document, 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.
(b) In addition to, and in no way limiting, the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each holder of any Note at the time outstanding shall have the following remedies available, which remedies may be exercised at the same or different times as each other or as the remedies set forth in Sections 12.1 or 12.2(a):
41
(i) such holder may exercise all other rights and remedies under any and all of the other Financing Documents;
(ii) such holder may exercise all other rights and remedies it may have under any applicable law; and
(iii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, such holder shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver or receivers for the assets and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, without notice of any kind whatsoever and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the obligations of the Company hereunder or under the other Financing Documents or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, and to exercise such power as the court shall confer upon such receiver.
Section 12.3 Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) 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.
Section 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 holders rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by any Financing Document 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 16, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all reasonable out-of-pocket 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.
SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.
Section 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. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such
42
beneficial owners option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement.

within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company 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.

SECTION 15. GUARANTEE.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and jointly and severally with the other Subsidiary Guarantors guarantees to each holder, the due and punctual payment in full of (a) the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), and any other amounts due under, the Notes when and as the same shall become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by required or optional prepayment or by acceleration or otherwise) and (b) any other sums which may become due under the terms and provisions of the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Document (all such obligations described in clauses (a) and (b) above are herein called the Guaranteed Obligations).

In the event that the Company shall
44
fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, each Subsidiary Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to pay the same when due to the holders entitled thereto, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind, in U.S. dollars, pursuant to the requirements for payment specified in the Notes and this Agreement. Each default in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Notes issued in connection with this Agreement may (but need not) make reference to this Section 15.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that its liability hereunder is joint and several with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and any other Person(s) who may guarantee the obligations and Indebtedness under and in respect of the Financing Documents.
Section 15.2 Obligations Absolute. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other instrument referred to therein or herein, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim a Subsidiary Guarantor may have against the Company or any holder or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment to, modification of, supplement to or restatement of the Notes, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other instrument referred to therein or herein (it being agreed that the joint and several obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the Notes, this Agreement or any other Financing Document as so amended, modified, supplemented or restated) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance, enforcement, realization or release of any security for the Notes (or any application of the proceeds thereof as the holders, in their sole discretion, may determine) or the addition, substitution or release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other entity or other Person primarily or secondarily liable in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence, enforcement, failure to enforce or other action or inaction under or in respect of the Notes, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other instrument referred to therein or herein; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Company, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any of their respective properties; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor or of the Company into or with any other Person or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor or of the Company to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Company for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Subsidiary Guarantor; (f) any failure on the part of any holder to obtain, maintain, register or otherwise perfect any security; or (g) any other event or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (whether or not similar to the foregoing), and in any event however material or prejudicial it may be to any Subsidiary Guarantor or to any subrogation, contribution or reimbursement rights any Subsidiary Guarantor may otherwise have. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
45
covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations hereunder.
Section 15.3 Waiver. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any default by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any amounts due under the Notes, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any other instrument referred to therein or herein, and of any of the matters referred to in Section 15.2 hereof, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of any holder against any Subsidiary Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for payment from the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any Note, notice to the Company or to any Subsidiary Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, (c) any right to require any holder to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy including, without limitation, any right, power or remedy conferred in this Agreement, the Notes or any other Financing Document, (d) any requirement for diligence on the part of any holder and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay in doing any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Subsidiary Guarantor or in any manner lessen the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.
Section 15.4 Obligations Unimpaired.
(a) The holders shall have no obligation to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to the holders.
(b) If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of any Notes shall exist and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any holder to receive any payment on account of the Guaranteed Obligations shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of a case or proceeding under a Debtor Relief Law, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Section 15 and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the holder thereof had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of Section 12, and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall forthwith pay such accelerated Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 15.5 Subrogation and Subordination.
(a) No Subsidiary Guarantor will exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Section 15, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the Notes or this Section 15 unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.
46
(b) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including, without limitation, all rights and claims described in clause (a) of this Section 15.5, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. If the Required Holders so request, any such Indebtedness or other obligations shall be enforced and performance received by a Subsidiary Guarantor as trustee for the holders and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without otherwise reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 15.
(c) Subject to the terms of Section 15.12, if any amount or other payment is made to or accepted by any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of either of the preceding clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 15.5, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the holders and shall be paid over to the holders promptly, in the form received (together with any necessary endorsements) to be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, as may be directed by the Required Holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 15.
(d) Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that its agreements set forth in this Section 15 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 15.6 Information Regarding the Company. Each Subsidiary Guarantor now has and will continue to have independent means of obtaining information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Company. No holder shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Subsidiary Guarantor with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company which may come into possession of the holders. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has granted the Unconditional Guarantee without reliance upon any representation by the holders including, without limitation, with respect to (a) the due execution, validity, effectiveness or enforceability of any instrument, document or agreement evidencing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any loan or other financial accommodation made or granted to the Company, (b) the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any property securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the creation, perfection or priority of any lien or security interest in such property or (c) the existence, number, financial condition or creditworthiness of other guarantors or sureties, if any, with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
Section 15.7 Reinstatement of Guarantee. The Unconditional Guarantee under this Section 15 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any holder on account of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by a holder upon
47
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, any other Obligor or any other guarantors, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Company, any other Obligor or any other guarantors or any part of its or their property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
Section 15.8 Subrogation and Contribution Rights. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 15 to the contrary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that with respect to each of the Subsidiary Guarantors relative liability under the Unconditional Guarantee, each Subsidiary Guarantor possesses, and has not waived, corresponding rights of contribution, subrogation, indemnity, and reimbursement relative to the other Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with, and as further set forth in, Section 15.12.
Section 15.9 Term of Guarantee. The Unconditional Guarantee and all guarantees, covenants and agreements of each Subsidiary Guarantor contained in this Section 15 shall continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other obligations under the Financing Documents shall be indefeasibly paid in full in cash and shall be subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 15.7.
Section 15.10 Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. Anything in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, any Subsidiary Guarantor which ceases for any reason to be a guarantor or other obligor in respect of the obligations under the Bank Loan Documents shall, simultaneously therewith, be automatically deemed released from the Unconditional Guarantee and all its guarantees, covenants and agreements as a Subsidiary Guarantor, provided that, (a) after giving effect to such release, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (b) no amount then shall be due and payable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (c) the Company shall have paid to the holders of Notes pro rata compensation or consideration, or provided equal credit support, to any compensation or consideration paid to the Bank Lenders, or credit support (if any) provided to the Bank Lenders, under the Bank Credit Agreement in connection with the termination of such Subsidiary Guarantors guaranty under the Bank Loan Documents.
Section 15.11 Savings Clause. Anything contained in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantors obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any provisions of applicable state law (collectively, the Fraudulent Transfer Laws), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor (a) in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder and (b) under any guaranty of senior Unsecured Debt or Indebtedness subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations which guaranty contains a limitation as to maximum amount similar to that set forth in this Section, pursuant to which the liability of such
48
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (i) applicable law or (ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and of Affiliates of the Company of obligations arising under guaranties by such parties
Section 15.12 Contribution. At any time a payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this Unconditional Guarantee, the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Guarantor against each other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be determined as provided in the immediately following sentence, with the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Guarantor to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a Relevant Payment) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Unconditional Guarantee. At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Subsidiary Guarantor that results in the aggregate payments made by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Subsidiary Guarantors Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the Aggregate Excess Amount), each such Subsidiary Guarantor shall have a right of contribution against each other Subsidiary Guarantor who either has not made any payments or has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Subsidiary Guarantors Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the Aggregate Deficit Amount) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Subsidiary Guarantors multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Subsidiary Guarantor. A Subsidiary Guarantors right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment at the time of each computation; provided, that no Subsidiary Guarantor may take any action to enforce such right until after all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Unconditional Guarantee are paid in full in immediately available funds, it being expressly recognized and agreed by all parties hereto that any Subsidiary Guarantors right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 15.12 against any other Subsidiary Guarantor shall be expressly junior and subordinate to such other Subsidiary Guarantors obligations and liabilities in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any other obligations owing under this Unconditional Guarantee. As used in this Section 15.12, (i) each Subsidiary Guarantors Contribution Percentage shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Guarantor by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Subsidiary Guarantors; (ii) the Adjusted Net Worth of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Guarantor and (y) zero; and (iii) the Net Worth of each Subsidiary Guarantor shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Subsidiary Guarantors assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Unconditional Guarantee) on such date. All parties hereto recognize and agree that, except for
49
any right of contribution arising pursuant to this Section 15.12, each Subsidiary Guarantor who makes any payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have no right of contribution or subrogation against any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of such payment until after all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Unconditional Guarantee are paid in full in immediately available funds. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution.

The Company will pay, and will save each Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, (i) all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those, if any, retained by a Purchaser or other holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes) in connection with the purchase of the Notes and (ii) any and all wire transfer fees that any bank deducts from any payment under such Note to such holder or otherwise charges to a holder of a Note with respect to a payment under such Note.

All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to any Financing Document shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this Agreement.

51
any other Financing Document. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 18 or any other Financing Document to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.
(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any other Financing Document unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Section 18.3 Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 or any other Financing Document applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.
Section 18.4 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 then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under any Financing Document, or have directed the taking of any action provided thereunder to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.
