SECTION 5.5. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The Company has delivered to each
Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Company and its
Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements
(including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in

its Subsidiaries as of the respective dates specified in such financial
statements and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows
for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set
forth in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial
statements, to normal year-end adjustments).
SECTION 5.6. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, OTHER INSTRUMENTS, ETC. The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement, the
Notes, and the Security Documents to which it is a party will not (a)
contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result
in the creation of any Lien (other than the Liens in favor of the Collateral
Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of any
property of the Company or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter
or by-laws, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any
Subsidiary is bound or by which the Company or any Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result
in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order,

by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term
of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is

judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority

(including without limitation Environmental Laws) of any Governmental
Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 5.9. TAXES. The Company and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax
returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have
paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other
taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or
franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and
payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and
assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate
Material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently
being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to
which the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established
adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for
any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of
the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect of Federal, state or other taxes
for all fiscal periods are adequate. The Federal income tax liabilities of

Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the
ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited
by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are
Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all
material respects.
SECTION 5.11. LICENSES, PERMITS, ETC. Except as disclosed in Schedule
5.11,
(a) the Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess

of the Company infringes in any material respect any
license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent,
copyright, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other
right owned by any other Person; and
(c) to the best knowledge of the Company, there is no
Material violation by any Person of any right of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any
-10-
patent, copyright, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other
right owned or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
SECTION 5.12. COMPLIANCE WITH ERISA. (a) The Company and each ERISA
Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all
applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not
resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any
liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax
provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in
Section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or condition has occurred or
exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any
such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of
any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or any
ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such
penalty or excise tax provisions or to Section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code,
other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be individually or in the
aggregate Material.
(b) Neither the Company nor any of its ERISA Affiliates maintains or has
any liability with respect to any Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA.
(c) The expected post-retirement benefit obligation (determined as of
the last day of the Company's most recently ended fiscal year in accordance
with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard
to liabilities attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section
4980B of the Code) of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not Material.
(d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Security
Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve
any transaction that is subject to the prohibitions of section 406 of ERISA
or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section
4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the Code. The representation by the Company in the
first sentence of this Section 5.12(d) is made in reliance upon and subject
to the accuracy of your representation in Section 6.2 as to the sources of
the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by you.

the Other Purchasers and not more than [30] other Institutional Investors,
each of which has been offered the 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 Notes as set forth in Schedule 5.14.

stock within the meaning of Regulation G of the Board of
-11-
Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 207), or for the purpose of
buying or carrying or trading in any securities under 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 5% 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 5% 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 G.
SECTION 5.15. EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS; FUTURE LIENS. (a) Except as
described therein, Schedule 5.15 sets forth a complete and correct list of
all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the
date of the Closing. 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 Indebtedness of the Company or such Subsidiary
and no event or condition exists with respect to any Indebtedness 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
Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before
its regularly scheduled dates of payment.
(b) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.15, neither the Company nor any
Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the
happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section
10.5.
SECTION 5.16. FOREIGN ASSETS CONTROL REGULATIONS, ETC. Neither the
sale of the 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

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective real properties
now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets,

Laws, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed to you in
writing:
-12-
(a) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has
knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim,
public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or
damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in

Effect; and
(c) all buildings on all real properties now owned,
leased or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except
where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to

SECTION 8. PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.
SECTION 8.1. REQUIRED PREPAYMENTS. In addition to paying the entire
outstanding principal amount and the interest due on the Notes on the
maturity date thereof, the Company agrees that on August __, 2000 and on each
August __ thereafter to and including August __, 2004 the Company will prepay
$25,000,000 principal amount (or such lesser principal amount as shall then
be outstanding) of the Notes at par and without payment of the Make-Whole
Amount or any premium, PROVIDED that upon any partial prepayment of the Notes
pursuant to Section 8.2 or purchase of the Notes permitted by Section 8.5 the
principal amount of each required prepayment of the Notes becoming due under
this Section 8.1 on and after the date of such prepayment or purchase shall
be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
the Notes is reduced as a result of such prepayment or purchase.
SECTION 8.2. OPTIONAL PREPAYMENTS WITH MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT. The Company
may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or
from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a
partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with
interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus the Make-Whole
Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal
amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each
optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more
than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice
shall specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be
prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder
to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest
to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being
prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial
Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such
prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the
prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business
Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of
Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation
of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.
SECTION 8.3. ALLOCATION OF PARTIAL PREPAYMENTS. In the case of each
partial prepayment of the Notes, the principal amount of the Notes to be
prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in
proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal
amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.
-19-
SECTION 8.4. MATURITY; SURRENDER, ETC. In the case of each prepayment of
Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be
prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such
prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such
date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date,
unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and
payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as
aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note
paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and
shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid
principal amount of any Note.
SECTION 8.5. PURCHASE OF NOTES. The Company will not and will not permit
any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or
indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except upon the payment or
prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and
the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any
Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant
to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution
or exchange for any such Notes.
SECTION 8.6. MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT. The term "MAKE-WHOLE AMOUNT" means,
with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the
Called Principal of such 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 Note, the
principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to
Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately
due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context
requires.
"DISCOUNTED VALUE" means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any 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 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 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 678" on the Telerate Access
Service (or such other display as may replace Page 678 on
Telerate Access Service) for actively traded 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, the
Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for
-20-
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 (519) (or any comparable successor
publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities
having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average
Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.
Such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by
(a) converting U.S. Treasury xxxx quotations to bond-
equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial
practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the
actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the duration
closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life and
(2) the actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the
duration closest to and less than the Remaining Average
Life.
"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 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 Note, all payments of such
Called Principal 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 Notes, 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 8.2 or 12.1.
"SETTLEMENT DATE" means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called
Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has
become or is declared to be immediately due and payable
pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or
governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect

Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers,
insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against
such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such

PROVIDED that this Section shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary
from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties
if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the
Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed

amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Company or such
Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings,
and the Company or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in
accordance with GAAP on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary or (b)
the nonpayment of all such taxes and assessments in the aggregate could not

preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence. Subject
to Section 10.2, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full
force and effect the corporate existence of each of its Subsidiaries (unless
merged into the Company or a Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the
Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the

effect such corporate existence, right or franchise could not, individually

SECTION 9.6. NATURE OF BUSINESS. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary
will engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the
business, taken on a
-22-
consolidated basis, which would then be engaged in by the Company and its

business engaged in by the Company and its Subsidiaries on the date of this
Agreement.

times keep and maintain Consolidated Tangible Net Worth at an amount not less

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.
SECTION 12.1. ACCELERATION. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to
the Company described in paragraph (g) or (h) of Section 11 (other than an
Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (g) or described in
clause (vi) of paragraph (g) by virtue of the fact that such clause
encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (g)) has occurred, all the Notes then
outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.
(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any
holder or holders of more than 51% in principal amount of the Notes at the
time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices
to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due
and payable.
(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section
11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time
outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or
their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held
by it or them to be immediately due and payable.
Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether
automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the
entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (i) all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such
principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all
be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The
Company acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a
Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from
repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for), and
that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the
event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event
of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such
right under such circumstances.
SECTION 12.2. OTHER REMEDIES. If any Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of
whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately
due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the
time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of
such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other
appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of
any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an
injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or
thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or
thereby or by law or otherwise.
SECTION 12.3. RESCISSION. At any time after any Notes have been
declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the
holders of not less than 60% in principal amount of the Notes then
outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such
declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue
interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any
Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such
declaration, and
-35-
all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to
the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of
the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other
than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such
declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and
(c) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due
pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this
Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or
Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION 12.4. NO WAIVERS OR ELECTION OF REMEDIES, EXPENSES, ETC. No
course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in
exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or
otherwise prejudice such holder's rights, powers or remedies. No right,
power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder
thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to
herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute
or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section
15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder
incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements.

one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due
presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note
shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder
thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any
notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of
a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a
complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered

transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer

authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each
transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and
deliver, at the Company's expense (except as provided below), one or more new
Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the
surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such
holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each
such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which
interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of
the surrendered Note if no interest
-36-
shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect
of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in

registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note

evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss,
theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the
case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of
such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (PROVIDED that if
the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original
Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net
worth of at least $2,500,000, such Person's own unsecured
agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory),
or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation thereof,
the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall
have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the
date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall
have been paid thereon.
SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.
SECTION 14.1. PLACE OF PAYMENT. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of
principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable

payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the
principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office
of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.
SECTION 14.2. HOME OFFICE PAYMENT. So long as you or your nominee shall
be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section

the method and at the address specified for such purpose below your name in
Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as you shall
have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such
purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of
any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made
concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full
of any Note, you shall surrender
-37-
such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to
the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most
recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any
sale or other disposition of any Note held by you or your nominee you will,
at your election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon
and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such
Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section
13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any
Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note
purchased by you under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement
relating to such Note as you have made in this Section 14.2.

(ii) there shall exist a default or an event of default

payable, subject to the application of the restrictions of this paragraph
again upon the occurrence of each further default or event of default.
(b) Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or

(d) In any of the proceedings referred to in subsection (c) above, any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property,
stock or obligations, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the

the Note does hereby authorize holders of Senior Debt to prove and enforce
claims comprising the Note, vote claims comprising the Note to accept or

payment or distribution in any such proceeding be received by the Holder of
the Note before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, such payment or
distribution shall be received in trust and promptly delivered in the form
received (duly endorsed, if appropriate) to the holders of Senior Debt or
their representative for application to the payment of Senior Debt then
remaining unpaid; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no such delivery shall be made
to holders of Senior Debt of stock or obligations which are issued pursuant
to reorganization proceedings or dissolution or liquidation proceedings, or
upon any merger, consolidation, sale, lease, transfer or other disposal not
prohibited by the provisions of this Subordination Agreement, by UAM, as
reorganized, or by the corporation which is the successor to UAM or which
acquires its properties and assets, if such stock or obligations are
subordinate and junior at least to the extent provided in this Section 1 to

exchange or substitution for any Senior Debt.

extensions or increase in the amount of any such indebtedness or any
indebtedness issued in exchange, replacement, refunding or refinancing of or
for Senior Debt by banks, insurance companies, pension funds or other
institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money; and (iii)
any costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or
collection of Senior Debt (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys' fees).
Subject to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt as aforesaid, the
Holder of the Note shall be subrogated pro rata to the rights of the holders
of Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property, stock or obligations, which may be payable or
deliverable to the holders of Senior Debt, until the principal of, premium
and interest on, the Note shall be paid in full and no such payments or
distributions to the holders of Senior Debt shall, as between UAM, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holder of the Note
be deemed to be a payment by UAM to the Holder of or on account of the Note.
The provisions of this Subordination Agreement are for the purposes of
defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Debt on the one hand,
and the Holder of the Note on the other hand, against UAM and its property.
Subject to the rights under this Subordination Agreement of holders of Senior
Debt to receive cash, property, stock or obligations otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Holder of the Note, nothing herein shall either impair, as
between UAM and the Holder of the Note, the obligation of UAM, which is
unconditional and absolute, to pay to the Holder of the Note the principal
and interest thereon in accordance with the terms and the provisions of the
Note or prevent the Holder of the Note from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law or hereunder upon default hereunder or under the
Note.
No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall be impaired by any act or failure to
act by UAM or by the failure of UAM to comply with the Note or this
Subordination Agreement.

application to the Guaranteed Obligations, to the extent necessary to make
indefeasible payment in full of all sums due upon the Guaranteed
Obligations and remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the benefit of such Beneficiaries in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing, no
holder of Subordinate Claims shall exercise any right of set-off or
counterclaim with respect to any Subordinate Claim held by it, and any
reduction of Subordinate Claims, by reason of exercise by the holder
thereof of a right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise in violation of
the provisions of this subsection, in respect of any obligations of such
holder to the Company, such other Guarantor or such other Subsidiary, as
applicable, shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company, such other
Guarantor or such other Subsidiary, as the case may be, in respect of such
Subordinate Claims to which this subsection shall apply.
(c) In the event that any payment or distribution of assets of the
Company, any other Guarantor or any of the Company's other Subsidiaries of
any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, shall be
received by any Guarantor or on its behalf at any time when the making of
such payment or distribution shall have been in violation of the foregoing
subsections (a) or (b), then such payment, distribution or amount shall be
held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to,
the Beneficiaries, for ratable application to the Guaranteed Obligations
then remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay in full all such
Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with their terms, after giving effect
to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the
Beneficiaries in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section is intended to or shall impair,
as between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and
their respective creditors (other than the Beneficiaries), the obligations
of the Company and
-6-
each such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to pay to each Guarantor and its
successors or assigns all sums due from it to any such holder of
Subordinate Claims as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms, subject to the terms hereof; PROVIDED that no
such holder of Subordinate Claims shall initiate any legal proceedings with
respect to any of the Subordinate Claims prior to the indefeasible payment
in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS.
(b) Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision
in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of such
prohibited or unenforceable provision, there shall automatically be deemed
incorporated herein (without further act or deed by any party hereto) a
provision as similar to such prohibited or unenforceable provision as possible
and as shall be enforceable and not prohibited pursuant to applicable law. If
this Guaranty would be held or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a judicial proceeding to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable on
account of the amount of the aggregate liability of any Guarantor under this

Guarantor and in effect on or prior to the date hereof, then, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the aggregate amount of

action by any Guarantor, the Beneficiaries or any other Person, be automatically
limited and reduced to the maximum amount which is valid and enforceable.
(c) No failure or delay on the part of any Beneficiary in exercising any
right, power or remedy under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof,

preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Guaranty are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any
Beneficiary at law or in equity or otherwise. No amendment, modification,
supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision of this Guaranty, nor
consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless
the same shall be consented to in writing by the Required Holders pursuant to
Section 17 of the Note Purchase Agreements. Any amendment, modification or
supplement of or to any provision
-9-
of this Guaranty, any waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, and any consent
to any departure by any Guarantor from the terms of any provision of this
Guaranty, shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required
by this Guaranty, no notice to or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall
entitle such Guarantor or any other Guarantor to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances.

Notes and the other Security Documents received by it constitute adequate notice
of all matters contained therein and consents to the execution and delivery of

to furnish to any Guarantor any copies of any amendments, modifications or
supplements or waivers with respect to the Note Purchase Agreements, the Notes

(e) All notices, requests and other communications to any Guarantor or
Beneficiary hereunder shall be in writing (including bank wire, telex, telecopy
or similar teletransmission or writing) and shall be given (i) if to a
Beneficiary, at its address or telex or telecopier number specified in Section
18 of the Note Purchase Agreements or (ii) if to a Guarantor, at its address or
telex or telecopier number specified on the signature page hereof or such other
address or telex or telecopier number as such Guarantor may hereafter specify by
written notice to the Beneficiaries. Each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective when actually received.
(f) This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors
and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by each
of the Beneficiaries and their respective successors and assigns, PROVIDED that
no Guarantor may assign or transfer any of its obligations under this Guaranty
without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.
(g) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to do such further acts
and things and to execute and deliver such additional agreements, powers and
instruments, as the Beneficiaries may require or deem advisable to carry into
effect the purposes of this Guaranty or to better assure and confirm unto the
Beneficiaries their rights, powers and remedies under this Guaranty, under the
Note Purchase Agreements, the Notes or under any of the other Security
Documents.
(h) Each Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally consents and submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
United States Federal or New York State court sitting in New York County in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and each
Guarantor, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees
that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding brought against any of
the Beneficiaries in respect of this Guaranty shall be brought in such United
States Federal or New York State court. Each Guarantor, jointly and severally,
irrevocably consents to the service of any and all process in any such action or
proceeding brought in any court in or of the State of New York by the delivery
of copies of such process to such

mail directed to such address. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives any objection, including, without limitation, any
objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of FORUM NON
CONVENIENS, or that it or its assets is exempt or immune from attachment or
execution, which it may now or hereafter have to the bringing or maintaining of

FIRST AMENDMENT AND CONSENT
UAM REALTY ADVISORS GUARANTY
UAM REALTY ADVISORS GUARANTY dated as of August 1, 1995 (as the same may be
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this "GUARANTY"),
made by UAM Realty Advisors Investment Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"GUARANTOR"), in favor of the Beneficiaries (as hereinafter defined). Certain
capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 1 of this Guaranty.
RECITALS:
A. United Asset Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"COMPANY"), proposes to enter into separate and several Note Purchase
Agreements, each dated as of August 1, 1995 (as the same may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "NOTE PURCHASE
AGREEMENTS"), with the Purchasers listed on Schedule A thereto (collectively,
the "PURCHASERS"), pursuant to which the Purchasers have agreed to purchase and
the Company has agreed to sell $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the
Company's 7.12% Senior Secured Notes, due August __, 2005 (the "NOTES"), subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreements.
B. It is a condition precedent to the purchase of the Notes by the
Purchasers that the Guarantor guarantees the Guaranteed Obligations (as
hereinafter defined).
C. The Guarantor, as part of an affiliated group of corporations with the
Company, will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by reason of such
issue and sale by the Company of the Notes and the purchase thereof by the
Purchasers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Note
Purchase Agreements and to purchase the Notes and in consideration thereof, and
for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.
As used in this Guaranty, and unless the context requires a different
meaning, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective
meanings provided for such terms in the Note Purchase Agreements and the
following terms have the meanings indicated, all such definitions to be equally

"ADJUSTED NOT WORTH" of the Guarantor shall mean, as of any date of
determination thereof, the excess of (i) the amount of the "present fair
saleable value" of the assets of the Guarantor as of the date of such
determination, over (ii) the amount of all "liabilities of the Guarantor,
contingent or otherwise" as of the date of such determination, as such
quoted terms (or similar terms) are determined in
accordance with applicable federal and state laws governing determinations
of the insolvency of debtors. In determining the Adjusted Net Worth of the
Guarantor for purposes of calculating the Limit of Liability for the
Guarantor in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the liabilities
of the Guarantor to be used in such determination pursuant to clause (ii)
of the preceding sentence shall exclude the liabilities of the Guarantor
hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
"BENEFICIARIES" means the Purchasers, any subsequent holder of the
Notes, and their respective successors and assigns.
"GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS" has the meaning assigned to that term in
Section 2(a).
"INVESTMENT ADVISORS ACT" shall mean the Investment Advisors Act of
1940, as amended.
"LIMIT OF LIABILITY" means, as of any date of determination thereof,
the sum of (i) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations (or
portion thereof), the proceeds of which (or any portion thereof) are used
to make a Valuable Transfer to the Guarantor, the amount of such Guaranteed
Obligations (or such portion thereof) PLUS (ii) with respect to any of the
Guaranteed Obligations (or portion thereof), the proceeds of which are not
used to make a Valuable Transfer to the Guarantor, the lesser of (A) the
outstanding amount of such Guaranteed Obligations (or such portion thereof)
as of such date and (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the Adjusted Net Worth
of the Guarantor at the time of the incurrence of such Guaranteed
Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, that portion of the Limit of
Liability of the Guarantor calculated pursuant to clause (ii)(B) shall be
increased (but not decreased) on the last day of each fiscal year of the
Guarantor, to an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Adjusted
Net Worth of the Guarantor, as determined on such date, if such amount is
greater than that portion of the Limit of Liability pursuant to clause
(ii)(B) in effect immediately prior to such date.

3.
"VALUABLE TRANSFER" means (i) all loans, advances or capital
contributions made to the Guarantor with proceeds of Guaranteed
Obligations, or any portion thereof, (ii) all debt securities or other
obligations of the Guarantor acquired from the Guarantor or retired by the
Guarantor with proceeds of Guaranteed Obligations, or any portion thereof,
(iii) the fair market value of all property acquired with proceeds of
Guaranteed Obligations, or any portion thereof, and transferred, absolutely
and not as collateral, to the Guarantor and (iv) the value of any
quantifiable economic benefits not included in clauses (i) through (iii)
above, but included in accordance with applicable federal and state laws
governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, accruing to the
Guarantor as a result of the incurrence of Guaranteed Obligations.

each of the Beneficiaries, as the primary obligation and debt of the Guarantor
and not as a surety, the due and punctual payment of, without duplication, (i)
all principal, interest, fees, premium, if any, and other amounts required to be
paid, from time to time, by the Company under or in respect of the Note Purchase

payable, whether on the due date therefor, upon stated maturity, by
acceleration, upon demand or otherwise, according to the terms of the Note
Purchase Agreements and the Notes, and, (ii) all other present and future
obligations and liabilities (whether absolute, fixed or contingent, matured or
unmatured, joint, several or independent and howsoever acquired) of the Company
to the Beneficiaries, or any of them, arising out of or in any way relating to
the Note Purchase Agreements, the Notes and any and all Security Documents and
the transactions contemplated thereby (all of the foregoing, collectively, the
"GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS"). In case of the failure of the Company to duly,
punctually and indefeasibly make any such payment in full as and when due and
payable, the Guarantor hereby agrees to duly, punctually and indefeasibly make

counterclaim or recoupment whatsoever (all of which are hereby expressly waived
by the Guarantor), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever,

Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise, whether based upon
any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or securing the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, without
limitation, this Guaranty) or otherwise, and howsoever arising, whether out of
action or inaction or otherwise and whether resulting from default, willful
misconduct, negligence or otherwise, and without limiting the foregoing,
irrespective of (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or dissolution,
or any proceeding in respect of any thereof, of the Company, any other
Subsidiary of the Company or any other guarantor of all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) the genuineness, validity, regularity or
enforceability of any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or securing

extension or renewal thereof, in whole or in part, with or without notice to or
assent from the Company, any other Subsidiary of the Company or any other
guarantor of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, (iii) the
validity, enforceability or priority of any lien or security interest securing
the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof, (iv) any
rescission, compromise, alteration, amendment, modification, extension, renewal,
release, change, waiver, consent, grant of any indulgence or other action in
respect of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions contained in
any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or securing the Guaranteed
-3-
Obligations or in any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the absence
of notice or the absence of or any delay in any action to enforce any obligation
or to exercise any right or remedy against the Company, any other Subsidiary of
the Company or any other guarantor of all or any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether under any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or
securing the Guaranteed Obligations or under any other agreement, instrument or
document, or any indulgence or extension or waiver granted to or compromise with
the Company, any other Subsidiary of the Company or any other Guarantor of all
or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any action or proceeding taken
or not taken with respect to or by or on behalf of the Company, any other
Subsidiary of the Company or any other guarantor of all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Obligations, or the holder of any agreement, instrument or document
evidencing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations, (vi) any default, failure or
delay in the performance of any obligation, covenant, duty, representation,
warranty or agreement contained in any agreement, instrument or document
evidencing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations or in any other agreement,
instrument or document, or arising pursuant to law, (vii) any act or thing or
omission to do or delay in doing any act or thing which might in any manner
result in any lack of proper authorization or any invalid execution of any
agreement, instrument or document evidencing or securing the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other agreement, instrument or document, (viii) any
assumption by any Person of any obligation under any agreement, instrument or
document evidencing or securing the Guaranteed Obligations or under any other
agreement, instrument or document, (ix) any event of FORCE MAJEURE, (x) any
release or substitution of any collateral for, or any obligor in respect of, the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or obligations under any other agreement,
instrument or document, in whole or in part, with or without notice to or assent
from the Company, any other Subsidiary of the Company or any other guarantor of
all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, (xi) whether a lien on any
collateral shall have been perfected or shall continue to be perfected, or
whether any collateral shall be impaired in any manner, or whether any steps

SECTION 3. SUBROGATION.
So long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be outstanding or
subject to any rescission or revocation of payment, all claims of any kind or
character of the Guarantor or any of its successors and assigns against the
Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or with respect to any collateral for
the Guaranteed Obligations, to the extent such claims (whether by right of
subrogation, contribution or otherwise) arise by reason of the Guarantor's
payment of any sum or sums to any Beneficiary under this Guaranty (all such
claims of any kind or character of the Guarantor or any of its successors and
assigns being hereinafter referred to as "SUBORDINATE CLAIMS"), shall be
subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of
such Guaranteed Obligations as follows:
(a) The Beneficiaries shall first be entitled to receive final and
indefeasible payment in full of principal of Guaranteed Obligations,
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including,
without limitation, interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings at the applicable rate
provided therefor in the Note Purchase Agreements and the Notes), and all
other amounts due under any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or
securing such Guaranteed Obligations before any direct or indirect payment
or distribution (whether in cash, property or securities, or by set-off,
counterclaim or
-5-
otherwise) shall be made on, or received by the Guarantor in respect of,
Subordinate Claims.
(b) Any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any of
the Company's Subsidiaries of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, which would be made on account of Subordinate
Claims but for the provisions of this Section, shall be paid by the Company
or such other Subsidiary, as the case may be (or the trustee or agent or
other Person making such payment or distribution), directly to the
Beneficiaries, for the ratable application to the Guaranteed Obligations to
the extent necessary to make indefeasible payment in full of all sums due
upon the Guaranteed Obligations and remaining unpaid after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of such
Beneficiaries in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of
the foregoing, no holder of Subordinate Claims shall exercise any right of
set-off or counterclaim with respect to any Subordinate Claim held by it,
and any reduction of Subordinate Claims, by reason of exercise by the
holder thereof of a right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise in
violation of the provisions of this subsection, in respect of any
obligations of such holder to the Company or such Subsidiary, as
applicable, shall be deemed to be a payment by the Company or such
Subsidiary, as the case may be, in respect of such Subordinate Claims to
which this subsection shall apply.
(c) In the event that any payment or distribution of assets of the
Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Guarantor
or on its behalf at any time when the making of such payment or
distribution shall have been in violation of the foregoing subsection (a)
or (b), then such payment, distribution or amount shall be held in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
Beneficiaries, for ratable application to the Guaranteed Obligations then
remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay in full all such Guaranteed
Obligations in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the
Beneficiaries in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section is intended to or shall impair,
as between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and
their respective creditors (other than the Beneficiaries), the obligations
of the Company and each such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to pay to the
Guarantor and its successors or assigns all sums due from it to any such
holder of Subordinate Claims as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms, subject to the terms hereof;
PROVIDED that no such holder of Subordinate Claims shall initiate any legal
proceedings with respect to any of the Subordinate Claims prior to the
indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Guaranty are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any
Beneficiary at law or in equity or otherwise. No amendment, modification,
supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision of this Guaranty, nor

and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each

the Guarantor may not assign or transfer any of its obligations under this
Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.

and deliver such additional agreements, powers and instruments, as the

Agreements, the Notes or under any of the other Security Documents.

submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any United States Federal or New
York State court sitting in New York County in any action or proceeding arising
out of or relating to this Guaranty, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and

Company's 7.12% Senior Secured Notes due August __, 2005 (the "NOTES"), subject
to the terms and conditions set forth in the Note Purchase Agreements.
B. It is a condition precedent to the purchase of the Notes by the
Purchasers that the Guarantor guarantees the Guaranteed Obligations (as
hereinafter defined).
C. The Guarantor, as part of an affiliated group of corporations with the
Company, will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits by reason of such
issue and sale by the Company of the Notes and the purchase thereof by the
Purchasers.
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Note

for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

$10,000,000 Revolving Loan Facility under and pursuant to that certain Loan
Agreement, dated as of March 27, 1992, as the same may be amended from time to
time) as of the date of such determination, as such quoted terms (or similar

governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors. In determining the
Adjusted Net Worth of the Guarantor for purposes of calculating the Limit of
Liability for the Guarantor in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the

Obligations (or portion thereof), the proceeds of which are not used to make a
Valuable Transfer to the Guarantor, the lesser of (A) the outstanding amount of
such Guaranteed Obligations (or such portion thereof) as of such date and (B)
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Adjusted Net Worth of the Guarantor at the time
of the incurrence of such Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, that portion of the Limit of Liability of the Guarantor calculated
pursuant to clause (ii)(B) shall be increased (but not decreased) on the last
day of each fiscal year of the Guarantor, to an amount equal to ninety-five
percent (95%) of the Adjusted Net Worth of the Guarantor, as determined on such

the Guarantor's obligations under the Revenue Sharing Agreement, and PROVIDED
FURTHER that any claim of the Guarantor for any such repayment by the Company
shall be included as an asset for purposes of the definition of "Adjusted Net
Worth."

each of the Beneficiaries, as the primary obligation and debt of the Guarantor

by the Guarantor), whether by reason of any claim of any character whatsoever,

Obligations or applicable portion thereof, for purposes of this Guaranty, to the
extent that such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, shall be deemed to
have continued in existence notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty
shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such
Guaranteed Obligations or applicable portion thereof as though such application
had not been made, irrespective of whether any note or other evidence of

SECTION 3. SUBROGATION.
So long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be outstanding or
subject to any rescission or revocation of payment, all claims of any kind or
character of the Guarantor or any of its successors and assigns against the

the Guaranteed Obligations, to the extent such claims
-5-
(whether by right of subrogation, contribution or otherwise) arise by reason of
the Guarantor's payment of any sum or sums to any Beneficiary under this
Guaranty (all such claims of any kind or character of the Guarantor or any of
its successors and assigns being hereinafter referred to as "SUBORDINATE
CLAIMS"), shall be subordinated in right of payment to the prior indefeasible
payment in full of such Guaranteed Obligations as follows:
(a) The Beneficiaries shall first be entitled to receive final and
indefeasible payment in full of principal of Guaranteed Obligations,
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including,
without limitation, interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership proceedings at the applicable rate
provided therefor in the Note Purchase Agreements and the Notes), and all
other amounts due under any agreement, instrument or document evidencing or
securing such Guaranteed Obligations before any direct or indirect payment
or distribution (whether in cash, property or securities, or by set-off,
counterclaim or otherwise) shall be made on, or received by the Guarantor
in respect of, Subordinate Claims.
(b) Any payment or distribution of assets of the Company or any of
the Company's Subsidiaries of any kind or character, whether in cash,

Claims but for the provisions of this Section, shall be paid by the Company
or such other Subsidiary, as the case may be (or the trustee or agent or
other Person making such payment or distribution), directly to the
Beneficiaries, for the ratable application to the Guaranteed Obligations,
to the extent necessary to make indefeasible payment in full of all sums
due upon the Guaranteed Obligations and remaining unpaid after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of
such Beneficiaries in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. In
furtherance of the foregoing, no holder of Subordinate Claims shall
exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim with respect to any
Subordinate Claim held by it, and any reduction of Subordinate Claims, by
reason of exercise by the holder thereof of a right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise in violation of the provisions of this
subsection, in respect of any obligations of such holder to the Company or
such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall be deemed to be a payment by the
Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, in respect of such
Subordinate Claims to which this subsection shall apply.
(c) In the event that any payment or distribution of assets of the
Company or any of the Company's Subsidiaries of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Guarantor
or on its behalf at any time when the making of such payment or
distribution shall have been in violation of the foregoing subsections (a)
or (b), then such payment, distribution or amount shall be held in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the
Beneficiaries, for ratable application to the Guaranteed Obligations then
remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay in full all such Guaranteed
Obligations in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the
Beneficiaries in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
-6-

as between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and
their respective creditors (other than the Beneficiaries), the obligations
of the Company and each such Subsidiary, as the case may be, to pay to the
Guarantor and its successors or assigns all sums due from it to any such
holder of Subordinate Claims as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with their terms, subject to the terms hereof;
PROVIDED that no such holder of Subordinate claims shall initiate any legal
proceedings with respect to any of the Subordinate Claims prior to the
indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

contingent or otherwise" as of the date of such determination, as such quoted
terms (or similar terms) are determined in accordance with applicable federal
and state laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors. In

all Security Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby (all of the

right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Guaranty are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to any
Beneficiary at law or in equity or otherwise. No amendment, modification,
supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision of this Guaranty, nor

forth herein or therein. Subject to the provisions of this Section and Section
6 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall take any action under or with respect to
the Security Documents which is requested by the Required Secured Parties and
which is not inconsistent with or contrary to the provisions of this Agreement
or the Credit Documents. At any time when a Notice of Actionable Default shall
have been given and shall be outstanding, the Collateral Agent shall, subject
in all cases to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, exercise or refrain from
exercising all such rights, powers and remedies as shall be available to it
under the Security Documents or any
-8-
of them in accordance with any written instructions received from the Required
Secured Parties. The Collateral Agent shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Collateral Agent, being advised by counsel, determines
that the directed action is not permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the
Security Documents or the Credit Documents, may not lawfully be taken or would
involve it in personal liability, and the Collateral Agent shall not be required
to take any such action unless any indemnity which is required hereunder in
respect of such action has been provided. Subject to Section 6 hereof, the
Collateral Agent may rely on any such direction given to it by the Required
Secured Parties and shall be fully protected, and shall under no circumstances
(absent the gross negligence and willful misconduct of the Collateral Agent) be
liable to the Company, any Guaranty Subsidiary, any holder of any Secured
Obligations or any other Person for taking or refraining from taking action in
accordance therewith. Absent written instructions from the Required Secured
Parties (a) at a time when a Notice of Actionable Default shall be outstanding
or (b) in the case of an emergency in order to protect any of the Collateral,
the Collateral Agent may take, but shall have no obligation to take, any and all
such actions under the Security Documents or any of them or otherwise as it
shall deem to be in the best interests of the Secured Parties. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence and in the last sentence of Section 6.3(d),
in the absence of written instructions (which may relate to the exercise of
specific remedies or to the exercise of remedies in general) from the Required
Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent shall not exercise remedies available to
it under any Security Documents with respect to the Collateral or any part
thereof.
4. ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL.
(a) The Collateral Agent, the Agent, acting on behalf of itself
and the Banks under the Credit Agreement, and the Senior Noteholders agree,
INTER SE, that the cash proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt,
appropriation, realization or sale of any or all of the Collateral or the
enforcement of the Security Documents that have been received by the Collateral
Agent shall be held by the Collateral Agent as cash collateral in a special
collateral account from which only the Collateral Agent may effect withdrawals
and shall be allocated to the Secured Obligations and distributed from time to
time by the Collateral Agent to the Secured Parties in accordance with the
following priorities:
FIRST, to the costs and expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred
in connection with the execution of its duties as Collateral Agent;
SECOND, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item
FIRST, to the payment to the Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Banks) and
to the Senior Noteholders, PRO RATA, in accordance with the respective amounts
of (i) the Bank Obligations constituting (A) the then aggregate unpaid principal
amount of the Loans and Money Market Loans, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon at such time, and (B) all commitment fees then owing by the
Company to any Bank
-9-
under the Credit Agreement (provided that such commitment fees included in this
item SECOND shall be limited to such amounts that are computed at a rate not in
excess of the rate provided for in the Credit Agreement as in effect on the date
hereof, any commitment fees in excess of such amount to be included in item
FOURTH) and (ii) the Senior Note Obligations constituting the then aggregate
unpaid principal amount of the Senior Notes together with all accrued and unpaid
interest thereon at such time, for application to such Bank Obligations and such
Senior Note Obligations, without priority of one over the other;
THIRD, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item
SECOND, to the payment to the Agent in the amount of all agents fees then owing
by the Company or any Guaranty Subsidiary to the Agent under the Credit
Agreement or any of the other Bank Loan Documents (provided that such agents
fees included in this item THIRD shall be limited to such amounts that are
computed at a rate not in excess of the rate in effect on the date hereof, any
agents fee in excess of such amount to be included in item FOURTH);
FOURTH, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item
THIRD, to the payment to the Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Banks) and
the Senior Noteholders PRO RATA, in accordance with the respective amounts of
(i) all other Bank Obligations and (ii) all other Senior Note Obligations,
without priority of one over the other; and
FIFTH, after payment in full of all amounts set forth in item
FOURTH, if no other Secured Obligations shall then be outstanding, to or at the
direction of the Company, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise
direct.
(b) If the Collateral Agent receives any non-cash distributions
or proceeds in respect of the Collateral, then the Collateral Agent shall hold
such non-cash distributions and proceeds as Collateral upon the terms of this
Agreement and the Security Documents until converted to cash and thereupon
distributed in accordance with Section 4(a).
(c) For purposes of subsection (a) of this Section 4, any Make-
Whole Amount (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreements) payable in respect of
the Senior Notes shall not be included in item SECOND above, but shall be
included in item FOURTH of Section 4(a).
(d) For purposes of allocating proceeds of Collateral pursuant
to Section 4(a), the Collateral Agent may rely without inquiry on certificates
of any Secured Party setting forth in reasonable detail the amount and type of
Secured Obligations then outstanding to such Secured Party, and unless and until
the Collateral Agent has received such certificates from all Secured Parties,
the Collateral Agent may decline to allocate proceeds as so provided.
-10-
5. SHARING OF RECOVERIES UNDER GUARANTY DOCUMENTS.
(a) Any and all amounts at any time recovered by any Secured
Party from any Guaranty Subsidiary as a result of the enforcement by such
Secured Party of its rights and remedies under the Bank Guaranty Documents or
the Senior Note Guaranty Documents, as the case may be, following the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Actionable Default of which Notice of
Actionable Default has been given to the Collateral Agent shall be shared by the
Secured Parties and allocated to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the
priorities specified in Section 4 in the manner specified in Section 5(b).
(b) In the event that any Secured Party shall obtain any payment
or reduction of any Secured Obligation as a result of the enforcement of the
Bank Guaranty Documents or the Senior Note Guaranty Documents in excess of its
ratable share obtained by all of the Secured Parties as set forth in (a) above,
such Secured Party shall forthwith (i) notify each other Secured Party and the
Collateral Agent of such receipt and (ii) purchase from the other Secured
Parties such Secured Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing
Secured Party to share the excess payment or reduction, net of costs incurred in
connection therewith, ratably with each of them in accordance with subsection
(a) above, provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or
reduction is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Secured Party, the
purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of
such recovery. All purchases pursuant to this subsection (b) shall be
coordinated by and effected at the direction of the Collateral Agent.

have all of the rights and obligations of the Collateral Agent hereunder.
(b) Each of the Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees
that the Collateral Agent shall continue to perform its duties as collateral

Collateral Agent thereunder conflicts with any provision of this Agreement, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control.
-11-
(c) The relationship between the Collateral Agent and the
holders of the Secured Obligations is and shall be that of agent and principal
only, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the Credit Documents
shall be construed to constitute the Collateral Agent as a trustee or other
fiduciary for any such holder.
6.2. LIMITATIONS ON RESPONSIBILITY OF COLLATERAL AGENT. The
Collateral Agent shall not be responsible in any manner whatsoever for the
correctness of any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained
herein or in any Security Document, except for those made by it herein or
therein. The Collateral Agent makes no representation as to the value or
condition of the Collateral or any part thereof, as to the title of the Company
or any Guaranty Subsidiary to the Collateral, as to the security afforded by
this Agreement or any Security Document or, except as set forth in Section 7, as
to the validity, execution, enforceability, legality or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any Security Document, and the Collateral Agent shall incur no
liability or responsibility in respect of any such matters. The Collateral
Agent shall not be responsible for insuring the Collateral, for the payment of
taxes, charges, assessments or liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the
maintenance of the Collateral, except as provided in the immediately following
sentence when the Collateral Agent has possession of the Collateral. The
Collateral Agent shall have no duty to the Company or any Guaranty Subsidiary or
to the holders of any of the Secured Obligations as to any Collateral in its

of the Collateral Agent or any income thereon or as to the preservation of
rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto, except the
duty of an agent to act in good faith, the duty to accord such of the Collateral
as may be in its possession substantially the same care as it accords its own
assets and the duty to account for monies received by it. The Collateral Agent
shall not be responsible for any loss suffered with respect to any investment
permitted to be made under this Agreement and shall not be responsible for the
consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the
Collateral Agent may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Collateral Agent shall not be required to ascertain or inquire
as to the performance by the Company or any Guaranty Subsidiary of any of the
covenants or agreements contained herein or in any of the Credit Documents.
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof
shall be personally liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any
such Person in connection with this Agreement or any Security Document except
for such Person's own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the
Collateral Agent nor any officer, agent or representative thereof shall be
personally liable for any action taken by any such Person in accordance with any
notice given by the Required Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement even if, at the time such action is taken by any such Person, the
Required Secured Parties or Persons purporting to be the Required Secured
Parties are not entitled to give such notice, except where the account officer
of the Collateral Agent active upon the Company's account has actual knowledge
that such Required Secured Parties or Persons purporting to be the
-12-
Required Secured Parties are not entitled to give such notice. The Collateral
Agent may execute any of the powers granted under this Agreement or any of the
Security Documents and perform any duty hereunder or thereunder either directly
or by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact, and shall not be responsible for
the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it
without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
6.3. RELIANCE BY COLLATERAL AGENT; ETC. (a) Whenever in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement the Collateral Agent shall deem
it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established with respect to
any Person in connection with the taking, suffering or omitting of any action
hereunder by the Collateral Agent, such matter may be conclusively deemed to be
proved or established by a certificate executed by an officer of such Person,
and the Collateral Agent shall have no liability with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted in reliance thereon.
(b) The Collateral Agent may consult with counsel and shall be
fully protected in taking any action hereunder in accordance with any advice of
such counsel. The Collateral Agent shall have the right but not the obligation
at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this
Agreement, the duties created hereunder, or any of the Collateral from any court
of competent jurisdiction.
(c) The Collateral Agent shall be fully protected in relying
upon any resolution, statement, certificate, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order or other paper or document which it in good
faith believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper
party or parties. In the absence of its gross negligence or willful misconduct,
the Collateral Agent may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificate or
opinions furnished to the Collateral Agent in connection with this Agreement.
(d) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have actual,
constructive, direct or indirect notice or knowledge of the occurrence of any
Actionable Default unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received a
Notice of Actionable Default. The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation
whatsoever either prior to or after receiving such a Notice of Actionable
Default to inquire whether an Actionable Default has, in fact, occurred and
shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be fully protected in so
relying, on any certificate so furnished to it and shall have no obligation,
absent written instructions from the Required Secured Parties, to take or omit
to take any action with respect to such Notice of Actionable Default.
(e) If the Collateral Agent has been requested by the Required
Secured Parties to take any specific action pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to exercise
any of
-13-
the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement in the manner so requested
unless, if so requested by the Collateral Agent, it shall have been provided
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which
may be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. Any such
indemnity given by a Secured Party which is a bank, a trust company, a savings
and loan association, a pension plan, an investment company, an insurance
company, a broker or dealer or any other similar financial institution or
entity, regardless of legal form, may be unsecured.
(f) If any dispute or disagreement shall arise as to the
allocation of any sum of money received by the Collateral Agent hereunder or
under any Security Document, the Collateral Agent shall have the right to
deliver such sum to a court of competent jurisdiction and therein commence an
action for interpleader.
6.4. RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT.
(a) The Collateral Agent may at any time resign as the
Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the Security
Documents by giving sixty (60) days' prior written notice thereof to each
Secured Party and the Company, provided that no resignation shall be effective
until a successor for the Collateral Agent is appointed. In addition, at any
time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Actionable
Default of which Notice of Actionable Default has been given to the Collateral
Agent, either the Required Banks or the Required Senior Noteholders may by
written notice to the Collateral Agent, the Company and each other Secured Party
remove the Collateral Agent as the collateral agent under this Agreement, the
Credit Agreement and the Security Documents, provided that no removal shall be
effective until a successor for the Collateral Agent is appointed. Upon such
notice of resignation or removal, the Required Banks shall have the right to
appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided in the Credit Agreement. If no
successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks
and shall have accepted such appointment within sixty (60) days after the
retiring Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation or its removal by
the Required Banks or the Required Senior Noteholders, then the retiring or
removed Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a
successor Collateral Agent, which meets the requirements of Section 6.4(c).
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a
successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties
of the retiring or removed Collateral Agent, and the retiring or removed
Collateral Agent shall be discharged from further duties and obligations
hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation or removal, the
provisions of this Agreement and the Security Documents shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was acting as Collateral Agent.
(b) The Required Banks appointing a successor Collateral Agent
pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall make such appointment by written notice to
-14-
all Secured Parties, the Company and to such successor Collateral Agent.
Following receipt of such notice, such successor Collateral Agent, if it
consents to such appointment, shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its
predecessor Collateral Agent, the Company and each Secured Party, an instrument
in writing accepting such appointment hereunder and, thereupon, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, succeed to all rights and obligations of the
Collateral Agent hereunder.
(c) Every successor to the Collateral Agent appointed pursuant
to this Section 6.4 shall be a bank or trust company in good standing and having
power to so act, incorporated under the laws of the United States or any state
thereof, and having its principal corporate trust office within the forty-eight
(48) contiguous states, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$100,000,000. In addition, in the event that the Collateral Agent is removed by
the Required Senior Noteholders pursuant to Section 6.4(a), no Bank under the
Credit Agreement shall be appointed as the successor Collateral Agent by the
Required Banks if so demanded in writing by the Required Senior Noteholders.
6.5. EXPENSES AND INDEMNIFICATION BY SECURED PARTIES. Each of the
Secured Parties severally agrees (a) to reimburse the Collateral Agent, on
demand, in accordance with its PRO RATA share, for any expenses incurred by the
Collateral Agent, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and
compensation of agents, arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a
result of, the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any Security Document,
any Subsidiary Guaranty or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or
thereby or the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective
obligations hereunder or thereunder or in connection with the enforcement or
protection of the rights of the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties
hereunder or under the Security Documents or any Subsidiary Guaranty, in each
case to the extent that the foregoing shall not have been reimbursed by the
Company and the Guaranty Subsidiaries or paid from the proceeds of Collateral as
provided herein, provided, that the obligation of the Senior Noteholders to
reimburse the Collateral Agent for any such expenses shall be limited to those
expenses accruing after a Notice of Actionable Default shall have been received
by the Collateral Agent, (b) to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and the
Guaranty Subsidiaries or paid from the proceeds of Collateral, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Collateral Agent and its directors, officers, employees and
agents, on demand, in accordance with its PRO RATA share, from and against any
and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the
Collateral Agent in its capacity as the Collateral Agent or any of them in any
way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any Security Document or any
Subsidiary Guaranty or any action taken or omitted by them under this Agreement
or any Security Document or any Subsidiary Guaranty; PROVIDED that no Secured
Party shall be liable to the Collateral Agent for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct
-15-
of the Collateral Agent or any of its directors, officers, employees or agents
as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction, and (c) to the extent not reimbursed by the Company and the
Guaranty Subsidiaries or paid from the proceeds of Collateral, to indemnify and
hold harmless the Collateral Agent, on demand, in accordance with its PRO RATA
share, from and against any and all liabilities which may be imposed on or
incurred by the Collateral Agent (in its capacity as Collateral Agent) for the
net amount of taxes (after taking into account any deduction, credit or other
tax reduction or benefit available by reason of the imposition of any such tax)
in any jurisdiction in which the Collateral Agent would not otherwise be subject
to tax except by reason of its acting under this Agreement or the Security
Documents (directly or through agents); PROVIDED that such indemnification for
taxes (i) shall apply only in respect of taxes attributable to the performance
of the Collateral Agent's obligations hereunder and (ii) shall in no event cover
any federal, state, local or other taxes imposed upon the Collateral Agent with
respect to or measured by its gross or net income or profits. A statement by
the Collateral Agent that is submitted to each Secured Party with respect to the
amount of such expenses and containing a basic description thereof and/or the
amount of its indemnification obligation shall be PRIMA FACIE evidence of the
amount thereof owing to the Collateral Agent absent manifest error. For the
purposes of this Section 6.5, PRO RATA shares shall be determined based upon the
aggregate amount of Secured Obligations of the type described in item SECOND of
Section 4(a) held by or for each Secured Party at the time of the act, omission
or transaction giving rise to the reimbursement or indemnity required by this
Section 6.5.
6.6. STATUS OF MONEYS RECEIVED. All moneys received by the Collateral
Agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held by the Collateral
Agent in a special collateral account from which only the Collateral Agent may
effect withdrawals for the purposes for which they were received. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall, to the extent practicable,
at the direction of the Required Secured Parties, invest and reinvest any funds
from time to time held by the Collateral Agent in direct obligations of the
United States of America or obligations for which the full faith and credit of
the United States is pledged to provide for the payment of principal and
interest, maturing not more than 90 days from the date of such investment, or in
repurchase agreements with respect to the foregoing.
7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Each of the parties hereto represents
and warrants to the other parties hereto that (a) the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on its part and, in the case of the Agent, by each of the
Banks, and (ii) do not conflict with or result in any breach or contravention of
any provision of law, statute, rule or regulation to which it is subject or any
judgment, order, writ, injunction, license or permit applicable to it and will
not conflict with any provision of its corporate charter or bylaws or any
agreement or other instrument binding upon it; and (b) this Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by it
-16-
and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
8. CERTAIN INTERCREDITOR ARRANGEMENTS.
8.1. TURNOVER OF COLLATERAL. If any Secured Party acquires custody,
control or possession of any Collateral or proceeds therefrom, other than
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, such Secured Party shall promptly cause
such Collateral or proceeds to be delivered to or put in the custody, possession
or control of the Collateral Agent or, if the Collateral Agent shall so
designate, an agent of the Collateral Agent (which agent may be a branch or
affiliate of the Collateral Agent or any Bank) in the same form of payment
received, with appropriate endorsements, in the country in which such Collateral
is held for distribution in accordance with the provisions of Section 4. Until
such time as the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence have been
complied with, such Secured Party shall be deemed to hold such Collateral and
proceeds thereof in trust for the Collateral Agent.
8.2. SETOFFS. If any Secured Party exercises any right of setoff,
banker's lien or similar right with respect to any Collateral for payment of any
Secured Obligations, the amounts so set off shall constitute Collateral for
purposes of this Agreement, and such Secured Party shall promptly cause such
amounts to be delivered to or put in the custody, possession or control of the
Collateral Agent for disposition or distribution in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4. Until such time as the provisions of the immediately
preceding sentence have been complied with, such Secured Party shall be deemed
to hold such Collateral and proceeds thereof in trust for the Collateral Agent.
8.3. INDEPENDENT ACTIONS BY SECURED PARTIES. Nothing contained in
this Agreement shall prohibit any Secured Party from accelerating the maturity
of or demanding payment on any indebtedness of the Company to such Secured
Party, from exercising a right of set-off against any amounts owed to the
Company or from instituting legal action against the Company or any Subsidiary
to obtain a judgment or other legal process in respect of such indebtedness,
provided, however, that (i) any action to foreclose or otherwise realize on the
Collateral shall be taken only by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, and (ii) any proceeds of Collateral (including proceeds
of any setoff with regard to any Collateral) or amounts recovered under the
Subsidiary Guaranties shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and, if
received by a Secured Party, shall be turned over to the Collateral Agent or
distributed among the Secured Parties to the extent required hereunder for
application as set forth herein.
8.4. PARITY OF TREATMENT. Each Secured party agrees that it will not
accept from the Company or any other Person any guarantee or any collateral
security
-17-
in addition to that provided for by the Subsidiary Guaranties and the Security
Documents, as in effect on the date hereof, without the prior written consent of
each other Secured Party, unless any such collateral security is held by the
Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of all Secured Parties in accordance
with this Agreement or unless any such third party shall simultaneously
guarantee all of the Secured Obligations to the same extent.
8.5. NOTICES OF DEFAULT. Each of the Secured Parties agrees to use
its best efforts to provide to each other Secured Party copies of any written
formal notice of the occurrence or existence of any default or event of default
under any Credit Document sent to the Company simultaneously with the sending of
such notice to the Company, PROVIDED, that the failure to do so shall not affect
the validity of such notice or create any claim or cause of action against the
party failing to send such copies or create any claim or right on behalf of any
third party.
9. RELEASE OR SUBORDINATION OF COLLATERAL; FREEDOM TO DEAL.
9.1. RELEASE OF COLLATERAL. The Collateral Agent is hereby
authorized, upon receipt of instructions from the Required Secured Parties, and
subject to Section 9.3, to release all or any portion of the Collateral and to
provide releases and termination statements with respect to any Lien of the
Collateral Agent on any Collateral in connection with any sale, exchange or
other disposition thereof or otherwise, provided, however, that to the extent
that the consent of a greater percentage of the Banks is required to release
Collateral under the Original Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall
release Collateral only with such consent.
9.2. SUBORDINATION OF LIEN. The Collateral Agent shall, on the
written instructions of the Required Secured Parties, and subject to Section
9.3, subordinate by written instrument the Lien on all or any portion of the
Collateral to any other lender extending to the Company or any Guaranty
Subsidiary Indebtedness permitted by the terms of the Credit Documents.
9.3. LEGALLY REQUIRED RELEASES. Whether or not so instructed by the
Required Secured Parties, the Collateral Agent may release any Lien of the

competent jurisdiction or otherwise required by applicable law.
9.4. AMENDMENTS TO SECURITY DOCUMENTS. Without in any way limiting
the provisions of Sections 9.1 through 9.3, the Collateral Agent may, at any
time and from time to time, subject to the proviso contained in Section 9.1,
enter into any modification, extension of time, amendment, consent, release,
termination or waiver with respect to the Security Documents and the Collateral
with the consent of the Required Secured Parties, it being the intent of the
parties that unless the
-18-
Collateral Agent shall be in receipt of a Notice of Actionable Default given by
the Required Senior Noteholders which has not been withdrawn, the Collateral
Agent shall, subject to the proviso contained in Section 9.1, act with respect
to the Security Documents and the Collateral at the direction of the Required
Banks and without any consent of or direction from any Senior Noteholder,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all Collateral held by the Collateral Agent at any time
and not released in accordance with this Section 9 shall secure the Bank
Obligations and the Senior Note Obligations ratably in accordance with this
Agreement.
9.5. SECURED PARTIES FREEDOM OF DEALING; ETC.. (a) The Senior
Noteholders agree, with respect to the Bank Obligations, any and all guaranties
thereof and any and all Collateral, that the Company and the Banks may agree to
increase or decrease the amount of the Bank Obligations or otherwise modify or
waive the terms of any of the Bank Obligations, and the Banks may grant
extensions of the time of payment or performance to and make compromises,
including releases of guaranties or Collateral as set forth in Sections 9.1
through 9.4 hereof, and settlements with the Company and all other Persons, in
each case without the consent of any Senior Noteholder (subject to the rights of
any Senior Noteholder as a holder of Bank Obligations pursuant to Section 5) and
without affecting the agreements of the Senior Noteholders or the Company
contained in this Agreement.
(b) The Banks agree, with respect to the Note Purchase
Agreements, the Senior Notes, any and all guarantees thereof, and any and all
Collateral, that the Company and the Senior Noteholders may agree to increase or
decrease the amount of the Senior Notes or otherwise modify or waive the terms
of any of the Note Purchase Agreements or the Senior Notes, and the Senior
Noteholders may grant extensions of the time of payment or performance to and
make compromises, including releases of guarantees and settlements with the
Company and all other Persons, in each case without the consent of the Agent or
any Bank (subject to the rights of any Bank as a holder of Senior Note
Obligations pursuant to Section 5) and without affecting the agreements of the
Banks or the Company contained in this Agreement.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way relieve
the Company or any Guaranty Subsidiary from compliance with their respective
covenants and agreements contained in any Credit Document.
10. AMENDMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(a) No modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by all Secured Parties
(or, in the case of any Bank by the Agent acting at the direction of such Bank).
-19-
(b) No waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent
to any departure by any party hereto from the provisions hereof shall be
effective unless such waiver or consent shall be set forth in a written
instrument executed by the party against which it is sought to be enforced, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on any party hereto in
any case shall entitle such party to any other or further notice or demand in
the same, similar or other circumstances.
11. COLLATERAL AGENT AS AGENT AND BANK. In its individual capacity, The
First National Bank of Boston shall have the same obligations and the same
rights, powers and privileges as it would have had were it not also the
Collateral Agent.
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1. FURTHER ASSURANCES. The Agent, the Banks and the Senior
Noteholders agree to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments,
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, and shall
take such other action, in each case as the Collateral Agent or any Secured
Party may reasonably request (at the sole cost and expense of the Company), to
effectuate and carry out the provisions of this Agreement including, without
limitation, by recording or filing in such places as the requesting party may
deem desirable, this Agreement or such other documents or instruments.
12.2. NO INDIVIDUAL ACTION; MARSHALLING; ETC. No holder of any
Secured Obligations may require the Collateral Agent to take or refrain from
taking any action hereunder or under any of the Security Documents or with
respect to any of the Collateral except as and to the extent expressly set forth
in this Agreement. The Collateral Agent shall have no duty to, and the Secured
Parties hereby waive any and all right to require the Collateral Agent to,
marshal any assets or otherwise to take any actions with respect to marshalling.
12.3. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding on and

between United Asset Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("UAM"), and
ABC Associates, Inc., a [_____________] corporation ("ABC" or, together with any
person to whom the Note referred to herein is assigned or endorsed, the
"HOLDER").
BACKGROUND
(a) The Holder has entered into an Acquisition Agreement with UAM dated as
of [__________ ___, 199__], relating to the acquisition by UAM of the assets and
business of ABC, which assets and business have been transferred to UAM's
wholly-owned subsidiary, ABC Newco, Inc. ("NEWCO")(such agreement being

[______%] Non-Negotiable Subordinated Note in the principal amount of
$[_________] (the "NOTE") in partial payment for such assets and business.

provide that the Note will be subordinated in accordance with this Subordination
Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
The parties hereto hereby agree as follows;
SECTION 1. SUBORDINATION.
The indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall be subordinated and junior to
the extent set forth in the following subsections (a) to (d), inclusive, to all
Senior Debt (as defined in subsection (e) hereof) of UAM:
(a) No payment on account of principal of, premium or interest the Note
shall be made or accepted, including by right of set-off, and no purchase of the
Note directly or indirectly by UAM shall be made, and the Holder of the Note
shall not be entitled to enforce any such payment, if, at the time thereof or
immediately after giving. effect thereto, (i) there shall exist a default in the
payment of principal of, premium or interest on any Senior Debt, and such
default shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist or
(ii) there shall exist a default or an event of default (other than a
default in the payment of amounts due thereon) with respect to any Senior Debt,
as defined therein or in the instrument under which the same is outstanding,
permitting the holders thereof, or any of them, to accelerate the maturity
thereof, and such default or event of default shall not
have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that after 180 days of the occurrence of a default or event of default described
in (ii) hereof, if the holders of Senior Debt have not caused the maturity of
the Senior Debt to be accelerated, the Holder of the Note shall thereafter be
entitled to receive each installment of interest and each installment of
principal on the Note as such installments become due and payable, subject to
the application of the restrictions of this paragraph again upon the occurrence
of each further default or event of default.
(b) Upon the maturity of any Senior Debt by lapse of time, acceleration or
otherwise, then all such matured Senior Debt shall first be paid in full, before
any payment on account of principal, premium or interest is made upon the Note.
(c) In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation (whether
voluntary or involuntary), reorganization or other similar proceedings, or any
receivership proceedings in connection therewith, relative to UAM or its
property, and in the event of any proceedings for voluntary liquidation,
dissolution or other winding up of UAM, whether voluntary or involuntary, or any
assignment for the benefit of creditors or other marshalling of assets or
liabilities of UAM, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy
proceedings, then all Senior Debt shall first be paid in full or provision for
such payment satisfactory to the holders of the majority in principal amount of
the Senior Debt shall be made, before any payment on account of principal,
premium or interest is made upon the Note.
(d) In any of the proceedings referred to in subsection (c) above, any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property,
stock or obligations, which may be payable or deliverable in respect of the
Note, or the indebtedness represented thereby, shall be paid or delivered
directly to the holders of Senior Debt or their authorized representative
designated to UAM in writing, for application in payment thereof, unless and
until the Senior Debt shall have been paid in full, and the Holder of the Note
does hereby authorize holders of Senior Debt to prove and enforce claims
comprising the Note, vote claims comprising the Note to accept or reject any
plan for liquidation, reorganization, composition or extension and accept and
receipt for any payment or distribution to such extent and apply such payment or
distribution to the then unpaid Senior Debt and do all things and to execute all
such documents as may be necessary to effectuate the foregoing; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that notwithstanding the foregoing, should any payment or distribution
in any such proceeding be received by the Holder of the Note before all Senior
Debt is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be received in trust
and promptly delivered in the form received (duly endorsed, if appropriate) to
the holders of Senior Debt or their representative for application to the
payment of Senior Debt then remaining unpaid; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no
such delivery shall be made to holders of Senior Debt of stock or obligations
which are issued pursuant to reorganization proceedings or dissolution or
liquidation proceedings, or upon any merger, consolidation, sale, lease,
transfer or other disposal not prohibited by the provisions of this
Subordination Agreement, by UAM, as reorganized, or by the corporation which is
the successor to UAM or which acquires its properties and assets, if such stock
or obligations are subordinate and junior at least to the extent provided in
this Section 1 to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt and to the
2
prior payment in full of any stock or obligations which are issued in exchange
or substitution for any Senior Debt.
(e) "SENIOR DEBT," as used herein, shall mean the principal of, premium
on, and unpaid interest (including any interest accrued after commencement of
any proceeding referred to in subsection (c) above at the rate provided in any
document or instrument creating or evidencing any indebtedness referred to in
this definition) on (i) all indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date hereof
or hereafter created or arising and including all fees and other amounts related
to such indebtedness, to banks, insurance companies, pension funds or other
institutions regularly engaged in the business of lending money, for money
borrowed or other financial accommodations extended from such institutions by
UAM for working capital purposes, acquisitions, general corporate purposes or
otherwise, and all such indebtedness with respect to which UAM is a guarantor;
(ii) any modifications, deferrals, renewals, extensions or increase in the
amount of any such indebtedness or any indebtedness issued in exchange,
replacement, refunding or refinancing of or for Senior Debt by banks, insurance
companies, pension funds or other institutions regularly engaged in the business
of lending money; and (iii) any costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the enforcement or collection of Senior Debt (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees).
Subject to the prior payment in full of all Senior Debt as aforesaid, the
Holder of the Note shall be subrogated pro rata to the rights of the holders of
Senior Debt to receive payments or distributions of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property, stock or obligations, which may be payable or
deliverable to the holders of Senior Debt, until the principal of, premium and
interest on, the Note shall be paid in full and no such payments or
distributions to the holders of Senior Debt shall, as between UAM, its creditors
other than the holders of Senior Debt, and the Holder of the Note be deemed to
be a payment by UAM to the Holder of or on account of the Note.
The provisions of this Subordination Agreement are for the purposes of
defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Debt on the one hand, and
the Holder of the Note on the other hand, against UAM and its property. Subject
to the rights under this Subordination Agreement of holders of Senior Debt to
receive cash, property, stock or obligations otherwise payable or deliverable to
the Holder of the Note, nothing herein shall either impair, as between UAM and
the Holder of the Note, the obligation of UAM, which is unconditional and
absolute, to pay to the Holder of the Note the principal and interest thereon in
accordance with the terms and the provisions of the Note or prevent the Holder
of the Note from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law
or hereunder upon default hereunder or under the Note.
No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Note shall be impaired by any act or failure to
act by UAM or by the failure of UAM to comply with the Note or this
Subordination Agreement.
3
* [The Holder of the Note shall give prompt written notice to each Holder
of Senior Debt of any default by UAM under the Note.]
Without limiting the effect of the immediately preceding paragraph, no
holder of Senior Debt need obtain the consent of, or give notice to, any Holder
of the Note prior to taking any of the following actions, upon or without any
terms or conditions and in whole or in part, none of which shall impair or
release any of the rights of any such holder of Senior Debt under this
Subordination Agreement:
(a) change the manner, place or terms of payment, and/or change or
extend the time of payment of, renew or alter, any Senior Debt or any
other liability of UAM to such holder of Senior Debt, any security
therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof, and the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall apply to
the Senior Debt of UAM as so changed, extended, renewed or altered.
(b) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise
deal with in any manner and in any order any property by whomsoever at any
