ARTICLE I
AMENDMENTS TO INDENTURE
Section 1.01. AMENDMENT OF ARTICLE FOUR. Article Four is hereby
amended by inserting the following:
Section 4.23 ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ Acquisition. Notwithstanding anything contained elsewhere
in this Indenture, in the event that the Company, directly or indirectly,
acquires more than 50%, but less than 100%, of the outstanding capital stock of
▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇") pursuant to the
tender offer (the "Tender Offer") contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated February 17, 2007, as amended, by and among ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇, Altra
Holdings, Inc. and Forest Acquisition Corporation ("FAC") (the "▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ Merger
Agreement"), then notwithstanding that ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ and its Subsidiaries shall
thereupon become Restricted Subsidiaries: (i) the requirement that ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ and
its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries guarantee the Notes shall be deferred until
10 days after the Company has acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding equity
interests in ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇; (ii) the Company shall have the ability to incur,
subject to the Company's Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio being at least
2.0 to 1.0, the Acquired Indebtedness of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ and its Subsidiaries that
otherwise could be incurred but for the fact that ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ and its Domestic
Restricted Subsidiaries will not be Guarantors at such time; (iii) Section 4.09
is hereby modified to enable Altra to acquire shares of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ common stock
in the Tender Offer and the back-end merger (the "Back-end Merger") pursuant to
the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ Merger Agreement and comply with the obligations of the ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇
Merger Agreement, in each case without reducing amounts otherwise available for
Restricted Payments; and (iv) Section 4.14 is hereby modified to waive the
requirement that the Company obtain a fairness opinion for the Back-end Merger.
ARTICLE II
EFFECTIVENESS
Section 2.01. EFFECTIVENESS. Subject to Section 2.02, this
Supplemental Indenture shall become effective and binding on the Company, the
Trustee and the Holders upon and execution and delivery of this Supplemental
Indenture by the parties hereto.
Section 2.02. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE TO BECOME OPERATIVE. This
Supplemental Indenture shall become operative upon delivery to the Trustee of an
Officers' Certificate stating that the Company (A) has accepted and paid for
shares of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ common stock in the Tender Offer, funded in part by the
issuance of approximately $92.5 million aggregate principal amount of additional
9% Senior Secured Notes due 2011 (the "TACK-ON NOTE OFFERING"), and (B) has not
completed the Back-end Merger on the same date (and, accordingly, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇'▇ does
