Senior Subordinated Notes (a) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company, Holding and Acquiror will take all actions as may be necessary to (i) repurchase the aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (hereinafter referred to as the "Notes") that are tendered to the Company on the terms set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and such other customary terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Acquiror and (ii) obtain the consent of holders of such principal amount of the Notes outstanding required pursuant to terms of the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of May 26, 1998 between the Company and State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, National Association, as Trustee (the "Indenture"), to amend the terms of the Indenture in the manner set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), together the "Debt Offer"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to take any action that could obligate the Company to repurchase any Notes or incur any additional obligations to the holders of Notes prior to the Effective Time. (b) The Company shall waive any of the conditions to the Debt Offer and make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer as reasonably requested by the Acquiror, and the Company shall not, without Acquiror's prior consent, waive any material condition to the Debt Offer, make any changes to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule or make any other material changes in the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, Acquiror shall not request that the Company make any change to the terms and conditions of the Debt Offer which decreases the price per Note payable in the Debt Offer, changes the form of consideration payable in the Debt Offer (other than by adding consideration) or imposes conditions to the Debt Offer in addition to those set forth in Section 8.10 of the Company Disclosure Schedule which are materially adverse to holders of the Notes (it being agreed that a request by Acquiror that the Company waive any condition in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to any holder of Notes), unless such change was previously approved in writing by the Special Committee or a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Company. (c) Promptly following the date of this Agreement, Holding, Acquiror and the Company shall prepare an offer to purchase the Notes (or portions thereof) and forms of the related letter of transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal") (collectively, the "Offer to Purchase") and summary advertisement, as well as other information and exhibits (collectively, the "Offer Documents"). Holding, Acquiror and the Company shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Offer Documents. All mailings to the holders of Notes in connection with the Debt Offer shall be subject to the prior review, comment and reasonable approval of Acquiror. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 10.1 , the Company shall, promptly after request of Acquiror (but in no event earlier than twenty calendar days after the date hereof), commence the Debt Offer and cause the Offer Documents to be mailed to the holders of the Notes as promptly as practicable following execution of this Agreement. The Company, Holding and Acquiror agree promptly to correct any information in the Offer Documents that shall be or have become false or misleading in any material respect. (d) In connection with the Debt Offer, if requested by Acquiror, the Company shall promptly furnish Acquiror with security position listings, any non-objecting beneficial owner lists and any available listings or computer files containing the names and addresses of the beneficial owners and/or record holders of Notes, each as of a recent date, and shall promptly furnish Acquiror with such additional information (including but not limited to updated lists of Noteholders, mailing labels, security position listings and non-objecting beneficial owners lists) and such other assistance as Acquiror or its agents may reasonably require in communicating the Debt Offer to the record and beneficial holders of Notes.

Securities Subordinated to Senior Debt The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities, by such Holder’s acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated and junior, to the extent and in the manner set forth in this Section 5.01, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt; provided, however, that the Securities, the Indebtedness represented thereby and the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities in all respects shall rank equally with, or prior to, all existing and future Indebtedness of the Company that is expressly subordinated to any Senior Debt. (a) In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company or otherwise, the holders of all Senior Debt shall first be entitled to receive payment of the full amount due thereon in respect of all such Senior Debt and all other amounts due or provision shall be made for such amount in cash, or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, before the Holders of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities. (b) In the event of any acceleration of Maturity of the Securities because of an Event of Default, unless the full amount due in respect of all Senior Debt is paid in cash or other form of payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion, redemption or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right or otherwise), and the Company shall give prompt written notice of such acceleration to such holders of Senior Debt. (c) In the event of and during the continuance of any default in payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on, rent or other payment obligations in respect of, any Senior Debt, unless all such payments due in respect of such Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash or other payments satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities or to acquire any of the Securities (including any conversion, redemption, or cash repurchase pursuant to the exercise of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Right). The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default under any Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued. (d) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 5.01(a), 5.01(b) and 5.01(c), any payment on account of principal, premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the Securities shall be made by or on behalf of the Company and received by the Trustee, by any Holder or by any Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for any such payment shall be segregated and held in trust): (1) after the occurrence of an event specified in Section 5.01(a) or 5.01(b), then, unless all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, or provision shall be made therefor; or (2) after the happening of an event of default of the type specified in Section 5.01(c) above, then, unless the amount of such Senior Debt then due shall have been paid in full, or provision made therefor or such event of default shall have been cured or waived, such payment (subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 5.07 hereof) shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately paid over to, the holders of Senior Debt or their representative or representatives or the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of the Senior Debt may have been issued, as their interests may appear.
Subordinated Notes The Subordinated Notes have been duly authorized by the Company and when executed by the Company and issued, delivered to and paid for by the Purchasers in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, will have been duly executed, authenticated, issued and delivered, and will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or by general equitable principles.
Execution of Debentures The Debentures shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, Vice Chairman, President, one of its Managing Directors or one of its Executive Vice Presidents, Senior Vice Presidents or Vice Presidents. Only such Debentures as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form herein before recited, executed by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of an authorized signer, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent upon any Debenture executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Debenture so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Debentures shall cease to be such officer before the Debentures so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, or disposed of by the Company, such Debentures nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Debentures had not ceased to be such officer of the Company; and any Debenture may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Debenture, shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an officer. Every Debenture shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Any Additional Notes and the existing Notes will constitute a single series under the Indenture and all references to the relevant Notes herein shall include the Additional Notes unless the context otherwise requires.

(f) The depositary for such Global Notes (the “Depositary”) shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York, until a successor shall have been appointed and becomes such person, and thereafter, Depositary shall mean or include such successor. The Security Registrar with respect to the Global Notes shall be the Trustee. (g) The Notes shall be defeasible pursuant to Section 1402 or Section 1403 of the Base Indenture.
