The Purchasers shall have no obligation with respect to any fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

• Restrictions on Payment of Certain Debt Make any payments (whether voluntary or mandatory, or a prepayment, redemption, retirement, defeasance or acquisition) with respect to any Subordinated Debt, except for (i) payments of regularly scheduled interest, fees, expenses and indemnification obligations and, to the extent this Agreement is then in effect, principal on the scheduled maturity date thereof, (ii) any Permitted Refinancing Debt in respect of such Subordinated Debt permitted under Section 6.1 and (iii) the conversion of any Subordinated Debt to, or payment with the proceeds of, Equity Interests (each such payment or distribution, a “Restricted Debt Payment”)); provided, however, that any such Subordinated Debt may be repurchased, redeemed, retired, acquired, cancelled or terminated if (w) (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would otherwise result therefrom and (B) the aggregate principal amount of such repurchases pursuant to this clause (w) shall not exceed the Available Basket Amount; (x) the aggregate principal amount of such repurchases under this clause (x) shall not exceed the portion, if any, of the Excluded Contributions that the Borrower elects to apply to this clause (x); (y) at the time of the delivery of the irrevocable notice with respect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of such repurchases pursuant to this clause (y) shall not exceed the greater of $40,000,000 and 2.5% of Total Assets as of the last day of the most recently ended Test Period minus (A) the amount of Restricted Payments made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in reliance on clause (n) of the definition of “Permitted Restricted Payments”, minus (B) the outstanding amount of Investments made by the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary in reliance on clause (ff) of the definition of “Permitted Investment”; or (z) (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would otherwise result therefrom after giving effect to such repurchases made pursuant to this clause (z) and (B) the Total Net Leverage Ratio, on a Pro Forma Basis, as of the last day of the most recent Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) or (b), does not exceed 4.0 to 1.0.

• Treatment of Certain Refunds If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.17 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

• Certain Fees and Expenses (a) Provided that the Fund is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, if the Merger is not consummated for failure of the condition to Closing contained in Section 7.1(f) to be satisfied and, as a result of such failure, CNLRP is obligated to pay the Company a break-up fee pursuant to the terms of the CNLRP Merger Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Fund as follows: (i) if the Fund has waived the condition to Closing contained in Section 7.1(f) and elected to proceed with the Merger, the Company shall pay to the Fund an amount equal to $8,000,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration; and (ii) if the Fund has not waived the condition to Closing contained in Section 7.1(f) and the Merger is not consummated, the Company shall pay to the Fund an amount equal to $5,000,000, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration. (b) If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Fund pursuant to Section 8.1(k), the Fund thereupon shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 4.0% of the value of the Merger Consideration; and (ii) $20,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration. (c) If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(l), the Company shall pay to the Fund an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 4.0% of the value of the Merger Consideration; and (ii) $20,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration. (d) If this Agreement shall be terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(n) or by the Fund or the Company on or after June 30, 2005, and as of the date of termination the Transaction Financing Commitment Letter has not been received by the Company, the Company shall pay to the Fund an amount equal to $3,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the value of the Merger Consideration and the denominator of which shall be the value of the Aggregate Merger Consideration. (e) The payment of the amounts pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be full compensation for the loss suffered by the Company or the Fund (as applicable) as a result of the failure of the Merger to be consummated (including, without limitation, opportunity costs and out-of-pocket costs and expenses) and to avoid the difficulty of determining damages under the circumstances. Any amount owed by the Company or the Fund pursuant to this Section 8.4 shall be paid by the Company to the Fund or the Fund to the Company (as applicable) in immediately available funds within two (2) business days after the date the event giving rise to the obligation to make such payment occurred. The Company and the Fund each acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 8.4 are integral parts of this Agreement; accordingly, if the Fund or the Company (as applicable) fails to promptly pay any amount owed pursuant to this Section 8.4 and, in order to obtain payment, the Fund or the Company (as applicable) commences a suit which results in a judgment against the other for any amounts owed pursuant to this Section 8.4, the losing party shall pay to the prevailing party its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with such suit, together with interest on the amount owed at the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. Payment of the fees described in this Section 8.4 shall not be in lieu of damages incurred in the event of breach of this Agreement.

• Certain Distributions If the Company elects to: (I) distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan, so long as such rights have not separated from the Common Stock and are not exercisable until the occurrence of a triggering event, except that such rights will be deemed to be distributed under this clause (I) upon their separation from the Common Stock or upon the occurrence of such triggering event) entitling them, for a period of not more than sixty (60) calendar days after the record date of such distribution, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices per share of Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced (determined in the manner set forth in the third paragraph of Section 5.05(A)(ii)); or (II) distribute, to all or substantially all holders of Common Stock, assets or securities of the Company or rights to purchase the Company’s securities, which distribution per share of Common Stock has a value, as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors, exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Last Reported Sale Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately before the date such distribution is announced, then, in either case, the Company shall notify in writing all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) (such notification, the “Certain Distributions Notification”) (x) at least 25 Scheduled Trading Days or (y) if the Company is otherwise then permitted to elect Physical Settlement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company has not selected another Settlement Method to apply), and in the Certain Distributions Notification the Company irrevocably elects Physical Settlement in respect of any conversions with Conversion Dates that occur on or after the date of delivery to the Holders of the Certain Distributions Notification until the Certain Distributions Conversion Period End Date, at least 10 Scheduled Trading Days, in either case, before the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. Once the Company has given such notice, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of (1) the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution and (2) the Company’s announcement that such distribution will not take place (such earlier date and time, the “Certain Distributions Conversion Period End Date”), in each case, even if the Notes are not otherwise convertible at such time.
