-6-


 

NRP (Operating) LLC   Third Supplement
Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such 2009 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 2009 Note, the principal of such 2009 Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 6 of this Supplement or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Note Purchase Agreements, as the context requires.
     “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2009 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 2009 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 2009 Note, .50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields 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 having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) 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 (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) 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 Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable 2009 Note.
     “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) 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 (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse

NRP (Operating) LLC   Third Supplement
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 2009 Note, all payments of such Called Principal of such series 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 2009 Notes of such series, 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 6 of this Supplement or Section 12.1 of the Note Purchase Agreements. Solely for purposes of determining the “Remaining Scheduled Payments,” the interest rate for the Series F Notes shall be deemed to be 8.38% per annum and for the Series G Notes shall be deemed to be 8.92% per annum.
     “Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any 2009 Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 6 of this Supplement or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Note Purchase Agreements, as the context requires.

     (a) The Company will not and will not permit any Subsidiary to (a) become a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (b) engage in any dealings or transactions with any such Person. “Anti-Terrorism Order” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 5.16 in Exhibit A to this Supplement.
     (b) Notwithstanding Sections 10.3 or 10.4 of the Note Purchase Agreements or any other provision of the Note Purchase Agreements, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit to exist (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any Lien on any property of the Company or any Subsidiary which may otherwise be permitted by Section 10.3 of the Note Purchase Agreements, to secure any amounts owed or outstanding under the Bank Agreement unless the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreements are also concurrently equally and ratably secured pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Required Holders.
     (c) The Company will not permit as of the end of each fiscal quarter, the ratio of Consolidated Debt (determined as of such fiscal quarter end date) to Consolidated EBITDDA (determined as of such fiscal quarter end date for the twelve months then ended), to exceed 4.00:1.00.

Further, for purposes of Section 7(b) and this Section 13(d), a Transfer of property consisting of timber shall be deemed not to be an Asset Disposition so long as the aggregate Disposition Value of such property subject of a Transfer from and after the date of Closing (as defined in Section 3 of this Supplement) does not exceed $30,000,000.
In accordance with the proviso to Section 2.2(ii) of the Note Purchase Agreements, the covenants set forth in this Section 13 shall inure to the benefit of all holders of Notes so long as the 2009 Notes issued pursuant to this Third Supplement remain outstanding.

Supplemental Representations
     The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that except as hereinafter set forth in this Exhibit A, each of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 of the Note Purchase Agreements is true and correct as of the date hereof with respect to the 2009 Notes with the same force and effect as if each reference to “Series A, B or C Notes” set forth therein was modified to refer the “Series F and G Notes” and each reference to “this Agreement” therein was modified to refer to the Note Purchase Agreements as supplemented by the First Supplement dated July 19, 2005, by the Second Supplement dated as March 28, 2007 and by the Third Supplement. The Section references hereinafter set forth correspond to the similar sections of the Note Purchase Agreements which are supplemented hereby:
     Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Company, through its agent, SPP Capital Partners, LLC and BB&T Capital Markets Inc., has delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Confidential Direct Private Placement Memorandum dated February 2009 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated by the Third Supplement. The Note Purchase Agreements, the Memorandum, the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to each Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Note Purchase Agreements and the Third Supplement and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5 to the Third Supplement, 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. Since December 31, 2008, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects 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.
     Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries. (a) Schedule 5.4 to the Third Supplement contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of the Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary.
     Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the 2009 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 41 other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the 2009 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 Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act.
     Section 5.14. Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company will apply the proceeds of the sale of the 2009 Notes as set forth in Section I.C. (Transaction Summary) of the Memorandum. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the 2009 Notes pursuant to the Third 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 222), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under
Exhibit A
(to Supplement)

 


 

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 1.00% of the value of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and the Company does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute more than 1.00% 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 Debt; Future Liens. (a) Schedule 5.15 to the Third Supplement sets forth a complete and correct list of all outstanding Debt of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of March 1, 2009, since which date there has been no Material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Debt of the Company or the Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Company or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
     Section 5.16. Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. (a) Neither the sale of the 2009 Notes by the Company hereunder nor its use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto.
     (b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) is a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (ii) engages in any dealings or transactions with any such Person. The Company and its Subsidiaries are in compliance, in all material respects, with the USA Patriot Act.
     (c) No part of the proceeds from the sale of the 2009 Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, assuming in all cases that such Act applies to the Company.
     As used in this Section 5.16, “Anti-Terrorism Order” means Executive Order No. 13224 of September 24, 2001, Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism, 66 U.S. Fed. Reg. 49, 079 (2001), as amended; and “USA Patriot Act” means United States Public Law 107-56, Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT ACT) Act of 2001, as amended from time to time, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder from time to time in effect.
