The current holders of the Existing Notes are named in Exhibit A hereto and are collectively referred to as the “Noteholders” and individually as a “Noteholder”. The 2003 Note Agreement, the 2004 Note Agreement, the 2005 Note Agreement and the 2008 Note Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Note Agreements” and individually as a “Note Agreement”. Terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Agreements.
The Company has requested certain amendments to the Note Agreements and hereby agrees with you as follows:
Article 1.
Amendment of Notes, Increase in Interest Rate
Upon the Effective Date (as defined in Section 5.5 of this Second Omnibus Amendment), automatically, and without further action on the part of either the Noteholders or the Company, the rate of interest borne by each series of Existing Notes (including the applicable default rate) shall be permanently increased by 100 basis points per annum and each Existing Note (other than the principal amount thereof and the payee named therein) shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth in Exhibits B-1 through B-7 hereto, respectively (each, a “Restated Note”) (and the form of Note(s) attached as an exhibit to each Note Agreement shall be amended to read as set forth in Exhibits B-1 through B-7, respectively). The Restated Notes shall evidence the same indebtedness formerly evidenced by the Existing Notes. Accrued and unpaid interest outstanding in respect of any of the Existing Notes as of the Effective Date shall be due and payable on the first interest payment date applicable to each Restated Note following the Effective Date. Upon the request of any Noteholder, the Company shall exchange such Noteholder’s Existing Note(s) for the corresponding Restated Note(s). The term “Notes” as used herein and in each Note Agreement, as amended by this Second Omnibus Amendment, shall include each such Restated Note (including any notes issued in substitution therefore pursuant to Section 9.2, in the case of the 2005 Note Agreement, and Section 10.2, in the case of the 2003 Note Agreement, the 2004 Note Agreement and the 2008 Note Agreement); provided, that as used in each Note Agreement the term “Notes” shall include only such Restated Notes that are amendments and restatements of Existing Notes issued under such Note Agreement.
In addition, from and after the Effective Date, (a) each reference to the rate of interest (including the applicable default rate), borne by a Note in any Note Agreement shall be amended to reflect the applicable increase to such rate of interest, as set forth in this Article 1, and (b) Section 1.2 of each Note Agreement and the first paragraph of each Note shall be further amended (as reflected in Section 2.1 and Exhibits B-1 through B-7) to provide for the payment of interest at the default rate so long as an Event of Default exists. Notwithstanding the increase in the rate of interest borne by the Notes resulting from the amendments set forth in this Article 1, the Make-Whole Amount and, where applicable, the Modified Make-Whole Amount for each Note shall continue to be calculated based on the rate of interest borne by such Note upon its original issuance.
Article 2.
Amendment of the Note Agreements.
Section 2.1. Amendment of Section 1.2 (Applicable Interest Rate(s)). (a) The reference in Section 1.2 of each Note Agreement to the rate of interest borne by the applicable Notes (including, without duplication of any increase provided for in Section 2.1(b) of this Second Omnibus Amendment, the default rate) shall be increased by 100 basis points per annum.

(b) Section 5.9 of each Note Agreement shall be and is hereby further amended by deleting the last paragraph thereof and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
In accordance with Article 4 of the Second Omnibus Amendment, the Company has agreed to secure the Notes and the other Senior Secured Obligations on or prior to the Collateral Effective Date. The Company covenants and agrees to comply with the requirements of Article 4 of the Second Omnibus Amendment (including the obligation to secure the Notes and the other Senior Secured Obligations on or prior to the Collateral Effective Date). In addition, from and after the Collateral Effective Date, the Company hereby agrees as follows:
(i) Collateral Documents. The Company will, and will cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to, (A) comply with and perform each of the terms, conditions and covenants set forth in the Collateral Documents, and (B) cause the representations and warranties set forth in the Collateral Documents to be true and correct as provided in the Collateral Documents.
(ii) Additional Collateral. If at any time the Company or any Consolidated Subsidiary shall grant to any one or more of the Collateral Agent or a holder of any Senior Secured Obligation additional credit support (including a Subsidiary Bank Guaranty, a Subsidiary Existing Note Guaranty or any other Guaranty) or collateral of any kind as additional security to secure the Senior Secured Obligations, then the Company shall, or shall cause such Consolidated Subsidiary to, (A) grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the same credit support or collateral so that the Notes shall at all times be secured on an equal and ratable basis with the other Senior Secured Obligations, and (B) deliver an opinion of counsel to the effect that such additional credit support and the Collateral Documents relating to any such collateral have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary, as applicable, constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary, as applicable, are enforceable against the Company or such Consolidated Subsidiary in accordance with the terms thereof, and covering such other matters as the Required Holders may reasonably request. In addition, any such credit support and new collateral shall at all times be subject to and governed by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.
(iii) Additional Consolidated Subsidiaries. Within ten days after the time that any Person becomes a Consolidated Subsidiary (other than the Pledge LLC) as a result of the creation of such Consolidated Subsidiary, a merger or other consolidation permitted by §5.11 of this Agreement or otherwise, (A) such Consolidated Subsidiary shall become a party to the Security Agreement and shall pledge a valid and perfected first priority security interest in all of its real and personal property (other than real and personal property which constitute Excluded Assets) whether tangible or intangible, pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders, (B) 100% of such Consolidated Subsidiary’s Equity Interests (65% in the case of any Consolidated Subsidiary organized under the laws of any jurisdiction outside of the United States of America) shall be pledged under the Collateral Documents, and (C) the Holders shall receive such board resolutions, officer’s certificates, corporate and other documents and opinions of counsel as the Required Holders shall reasonably request in connection with the actions described in clauses (A) and (B) above.
(iv) Additional Secured Debt. The Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries may incur additional Debt secured by the Collateral (the “Additional Secured Debt”); provided, that (A) no financial covenants or events of default applicable to such Additional Secured Debt shall be more restrictive than the financial covenants and Events of Default set forth in §5 and §6, respectively, (B) at the time of such incurrence of Additional Secured Debt and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (C) such Additional Secured Debt shall be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outstanding Public Debt shall not at any time have the benefit of or be secured by the Collateral.
(v) Additional Undertakings. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent or approval of all third parties required to permit the Company and its Consolidated Subsidiaries to subject all of their assets to the Lien of the Collateral Documents. In determining whether to obtain any such consent or approval, the Company may take into account the cost or charges imposed by third parties (on either the Company or any entity in which the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary has an investment) to grant any such consent or approval. In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to obtain consents or approvals in respect of assets which in the reasonable judgment of the Company cannot be pledged, or as to which the consent to pledge cannot be sought, without substantially impairing the value of the asset or the ability of the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary to manage the asset in the ordinary course of its business. Without limiting the obligation of the Company set forth above, to the extent any personal property of the Company or a Consolidated Subsidiary cannot be pledged as Collateral on account of contractual limitations applicable to such property but may be transferred to the Pledge LLC, such personal property shall be transferred to the Pledge LLC. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the documents which govern investments made subsequent to the date of the Second Omnibus Amendment do not restrict the ability of the Company to subject any such investment to the Lien of the Collateral Documents; provided that, so long as it has used such efforts, the Company will not be precluded from making an investment as to which the governing documents contain such a restriction.
Section 2.9. Amendment of Section 5.10 (Restricted Payments). The first paragraph of Section 5.10 of each Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

In case the Company repurchases or otherwise acquires any Notes, such Notes shall immediately thereafter be canceled and no Notes shall be issued in substitution therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the repurchase or other acquisition of any Notes by the Company, any Consolidated Subsidiary or any Affiliate, such Notes shall no longer be outstanding for purposes of any section of this Agreement [or any Supplement, in each case]12 relating to the taking by the holders of the Notes of any actions with respect hereto [or thereto]13, including without limitation, §6.3, §6.4 and §7.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Default or Event of Default exists under any Existing Note Agreement, any offer to repurchase Notes pursuant to this §5.12 shall be made pro rata to the holders of all Existing Notes.
(b) Neither the Company nor any Consolidated Subsidiary or Affiliate, directly or indirectly, may prepay, redeem, purchase, tender or acquire any series of Outstanding Public Debt prior to the stated maturity of such series.
(c) The Company will not exercise any right of optional prepayment providing for prepayment with the Make-Whole Amount set forth in any Existing Note Agreement, unless the Company shall concurrently prepay a pro rata portion of each of the Existing Notes outstanding under each Existing Note Agreement in accordance with the terms of such Existing Note Agreements.
Section 2.12. Amendment of Section 5.13 (Transactions with Affiliates). Section 5.13 of the 2008 Note Agreement shall be and is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
