LOANS AND WARRANTS
2.1. Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, and relying upon the representations and warranties herein set forth,
each Purchaser severally agrees to make Loans to the Company at any time and
from time to time on or after the date hereof to, but not including, the
Termination Date, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding at any one time
its Note Percentage of the Commitment at such time. No Purchaser shall have an
obligation to make Loans hereunder on or after the Termination Date or which,
when added to the aggregate amount of all outstanding and contemporaneous Loans
at such time, would cause the aggregate amount of all Loans at any time to
exceed the Commitment at such time. Once borrowed, amounts repaid may not be
reborrowed.
2.2. Notes. Subject to Section 12.3 (and other applicable
provisions of this Agreement), the obligation of the Company to repay the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans, and to pay interest thereon, shall be evidenced
by a Note in the principal amount of $10,000,000.00, in the form of Exhibit A
hereto.
2.3. Notice of Borrowing; Making of Loans.
(a) Whenever the Company desires to borrow, the Designated
Borrowing Officer shall provide telephonic notice of a proposed borrowing or
written notice of such proposed borrowing (a "NOTICE OF BORROWING") to the Agent
not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) at least one (1) Business Day
before the date of such proposed borrowing. The Notice of Borrowing shall set
forth (i) the date, which shall be a Business Day, on which such borrowing is to
occur and (ii) the principal amount of the Loan being borrowed. If requested by
the Agent, any such telephonic notice shall be confirmed by the Designated
Borrowing Officer in writing by delivery to the Agent on or before the close of
business on the date on which such Loan is to be made (but prior to such Loan
being made) of a notice containing the original or facsimile signature of the
Designated Borrowing Officer. The Agent shall provide each Purchaser with prompt
notice of each Notice of Borrowing. Except as otherwise provided in subsection
2.3(e), on the date specified in such notice, each Purchaser shall, subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, fund its Note Percentage of such
Loan in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Agent at its Office
not later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time). Unless the Agent determines that
any applicable conditions in Section 4.2 have not been satisfied, the Agent
shall make the funds so received from the Purchasers available to the Company
not later than 2:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date specified in such
notice in immediately available funds by depositing such proceeds in the
Disbursement Account.
(b) Reliance on Designated Borrowing Officer. The Agent and
each Purchaser shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the Designated
Borrowing Officer's authority to request a Loan on behalf of the Company until
the Agent and such Purchaser receives written notice to the contrary. The Agent
and the Purchasers shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the
signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing and, with respect to an
oral request for a Loan, the Agent and the Purchasers shall have no duty to
verify the identity of any Person representing himself or herself as a
Designated Borrowing Officer.
-19-
(c) No Liability. The Agent and the Purchasers shall not incur
any liability to the Company or any other Person in acting upon any telephonic
notice referred to above which the Agent and the Purchasers believe in good
faith to have been given by the Designated Borrowing Officer or for otherwise
acting in good faith under this Section 2.3; and, upon the funding of a Loan by
the Purchasers in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to any such telephonic
notice, the Company shall have effected a Loan hereunder.
(d) Amount of Borrowings. Each Notice of Borrowing pursuant to
this Section 2.3 shall be irrevocable, and the Company shall be bound to make a
borrowing in accordance therewith. Each Loan shall be in a minimum amount of
$500,000.
(e) Several Obligations of Purchasers. All Loans under this
Agreement shall be made by the Purchasers simultaneously and proportionately to
their Note Percentages, it being understood that no Purchaser shall be
responsible for any default by any other Purchaser in such other Purchaser's
obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder nor shall the commitment or
obligation of any Purchaser to make its Note Percentage of a Loan be increased
or decreased as a result of the default by any other Purchaser in such other
Purchaser's obligation to make its share of a Loan requested hereunder.
(f) Availability Under Working Capital Facility.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere herein, the Company
shall not be permitted to borrow and no Purchaser shall be required to lend
hereunder at any time that the Company may borrow any amount under the Working
Capital Loan Facility.
2.4. Reduction of Current Commitment. At any time or from time
to time, and without penalty or premium, the Company may reduce the Commitment
to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (i) the unpaid
principal amount of all Loans then outstanding plus (ii) the principal amount of
all Loans not yet made as to which notice has been given by the Company under
Section 2.3 hereof. Any reduction shall be in an amount which is an integral
multiple of $500,000. Reduction of the Commitment shall be made by providing not
less than two (2) Business Days' written notice (which notice shall be
irrevocable) to such effect to the Agent (which notice the Agent shall promptly
transmit to each Purchaser). Reductions of the Commitment are irrevocable and
may not be reinstated. Each such reduction shall reduce each Purchaser's Note
Percentage of the Commitment proportionately.
2.5. Warrants. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth
herein, the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall
acquire from the Company, the Warrants for Shares as set forth in SCHEDULE 2.1.
ARTICLE 3
PAYMENT OF LOANS
3.1. Payments.
(a) Principal. The entire outstanding principal amount of the
Loans shall be due and payable upon the earliest of (i) the occurrence of an
Event of Default (other than under Sections 10.1(l) or
-20-
(m)) following which the Agent elects to accelerate the maturity and payment of
the Obligations, (ii) automatically upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under Sections 10.1(l) or (m), and (iii) the Maturity Date.
(b) Manner of Payment. All payments (including prepayments) of
principal, interest, fees and expenses and other amounts payable hereunder or
under any of the other Note Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the
benefit of the Purchasers, at the Payment Office not later than 1:00 P.M. (New
York Time) on the due date therefor in lawful money of the United States of
America in federal funds or other funds immediately available to Agent. Upon
receipt by the Agent of each such payment, the Agent shall promptly distribute
to each Purchaser, at its address for notices set forth on SCHEDULE 2.1, such
Purchaser's pro rata share of such payment in accordance with such Purchaser's
Note Percentage and shall wire advice of the amount of such credit to each
Purchaser.
(c) Date of Payment. If any payment becomes due and payable on
a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the
applicable Note Rate (or Overdue Rate) during such extension.
(d) Overdue Payments. Any amount that is due and payable by
any Company Party under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Note Document
that is not paid when due shall bear interest, for each day from (and including)
the date such amount was due and payable to (but excluding) the date of payment
thereof, at the Overdue Rate in effect from time to time.
(e) Maximum Charges. In no event whatsoever shall interest and
other charges hereunder exceed the highest rate permissible under law. In the
event interest and other charges as computed hereunder would otherwise exceed
the highest rate permitted under law, such excess amount shall be first applied
to any unpaid principal balance owed by the Company, and if the then remaining
excess amount is greater than the previously unpaid principal balance, the
Purchaser shall promptly refund such excess amount to the Company and the
provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such permissible rate.
(f) No Right of Set Off. No Company Party shall have the right
to set off any amounts owed under this Agreement against any amounts, if any,
owed or claimed to be owed, now or in the future to any Company Party or other
person by the Agent or any Purchaser or any of their Affiliates resulting from
any claims, rights, damages, demands, causes of action or liabilities of any
nature whatsoever, known or unknown, contingent or fixed, whether due or to
become due, that any Company Party has had, now has or may have at any future
time by reason of any cause, matter or thing whatsoever, directly or indirectly.
(g) Costs, Fees and Expenses. Each Company Party shall pay all
costs, fees and expenses and all other amounts payable pursuant to this
Agreement or the other Note Documents as and when provided herein or in the
other Note Documents.
(h) Extension of Maturity Date. The Company shall have (i) a
single right to extend the Maturity Date to the 90th day after the initial
Maturity Date (the "EXTENDED MATURITY DATE") upon delivery to the Agent of
written notice of such extension on or before the 10th day prior to the initial
Maturity Date, together with an extension fee of $75,000.00, and (ii) a single
right to extend the Extended
-21-
Maturity Date to the 88th day after the Extended Maturity Date upon delivery to
the Agent of written notice of such additional extension on or before the 10th
day prior to the Extended Maturity Date, together with an additional extension
fee of $75,000.00. Both such extension rights may be exercised simultaneously by
delivery of a single notice, timely given, together with payment of $150,000.00
in respect of both of the foregoing extension fees.
3.2. Interest. The outstanding principal amount of each Loan
from time to time shall bear interest (a) from (and including) the date of the
making of such Loan to (but excluding) the date of payment in full thereof, at
the Note Rate in effect from time to time, and (b) upon and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, and from and after the Maturity Date, at the
Overdue Rate in effect from time to time. The Company shall pay such accrued
interest to Agent monthly, in arrears, on the 1st day of each calendar month
prior to the Maturity Date (commencing on June 1, 2000) and at maturity.
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
3.3. Optional Prepayments.
Subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.8, the Company shall have the
option at any time and from time to time to prepay the outstanding Loans, either
in whole or in part (but if in part, then in units of $1,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) by payment of the principal amount of
the Loans, or portion thereof to be prepaid, together with accrued interest
thereon to but not including the date of such prepayment.
3.4. Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) Core Assets; Non-Core Assets During Default.
(i) Upon any Asset Sale (x) at any time that no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with
respect to a Core Asset, and (y) after the occurrence and during the
continuance of a Default or an Event of the Default, with respect to a
non-Core Asset, the Company shall pay, or shall cause any other
applicable Company Party to pay, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom first,
to the Working Capital Agent in repayment of any Indebtedness then due
and payable under the Working Capital Credit Agreement and the balance
remaining to the Agent in repayment of the Obligations hereunder.
(ii) Upon any Asset Sale with respect to a Core Asset
after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or an
Event of the Default, the Company shall pay, or shall cause any other
applicable Company Party to pay, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom first,
to the Working Capital Agent in repayment of any Indebtedness then due
and payable under the Working Capital Credit Agreement, then (without
duplication) an amount equal to the undrawn amount of all outstanding
letters of credit under the Working Capital Credit Agreement (which
amount shall be held by the Working Capital Agent as cash collateral in
respect of such letters of credit), and the balance remaining to the
Agent in repayment of the Obligations hereunder.
-22-
(b) Assets Sales Generally.
----------------------
(i) Subject to Sections 3.4(a) and 3.4(b)(ii) and
(iii), upon any Asset Sale (other than an Excluded Asset Sale) with
respect to any Asset other than a Core Asset, the Company shall pay, or
shall cause the applicable Company Party to pay, the Net Cash Proceeds
therefrom to the Working Capital Agent in repayment of Indebtedness
then due and payable under the Working Capital Credit Agreement and may
retain any balance remaining.
(ii) From and after the date that the aggregate
amount of Asset Disposition Proceeds from Asset Sales of non-Core
Assets equals or exceeds $7,000,000.00, then upon any Asset Sale (other
than an Excluded Asset Sale) with respect to any Asset (including Core
Assets and non-Core Assets), the Company shall pay, or shall cause any
other applicable Company Party to pay, the Net Cash Proceeds therefrom
first, to the Working Capital Agent in repayment of any Indebtedness
then due and payable under the Working Capital Credit Agreement and the
balance remaining to the Agent in repayment of the Obligations
hereunder.
(iii) Upon and during the continuance of a Default or
an Event of Default, if any Asset Sale, Casualty or Condemnation shall
occur with respect to any Collateral or any other Asset of any Company
Party, then the Company shall pay (or shall cause any other applicable
Company Party to pay) the Net Cash Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds or
Condemnation Proceeds therefrom, as the case may be (A) first, to the
Working Capital Agent in repayment of any outstanding Indebtedness then
due and payable under the Working Capital Credit Agreement, and (B)
second, the balance remaining, if any, to the Agent in respect of the
Obligations hereunder; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if (1) any such balance
under clause (B) is paid to the Agent while a Default (but before an
Event of Default) exists, (2) such Default is cured before the
expiration of any applicable grace period therefor, and (3) the Company
or any other Company Party is not otherwise required to pay the same to
the Agent under this Section 3.4, then promptly after receipt from the
Company of evidence of such timely cure, and provided that no further
Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred and be continuing,
the Agent shall return such balance to the Company.
(c) Reduction of Commitments.
------------------------
(i) Subject to Section 3.4(c)(iii), the Commitment
hereunder shall be permanently reduced from time to time by (A) the
amount of all Asset Disposition Proceeds received by or on behalf of
the Company or any other Company Party from time to time from Asset
Sales in respect of Core Assets, and (B) the amount of Asset
Disposition Proceeds in excess of $7,000,000.00 received by or on
behalf of the Company or any other Company Party from time to time from
Asset Sales (other than Excluded Asset Sales) in respect of non-Core
Assets.
(ii) Subject to Section 3.4(c)(iii), the
$15,000,000.00 commitment under the Working Capital Credit Facility
shall be permanently reduced by the amount of all Asset Disposition
Proceeds from Asset Sales (other than Excluded Asset Sales) received
from time to time by or on behalf of the Company or any other Company
Party at any time that any Obligations hereunder are outstanding.
-23-
(iii) For the purpose of Sections 3.4(c)(i) and (ii)
only, Asset Disposition Proceeds shall not include any Net Proceeds
that are not cash or Cash Equivalents until such time as such amounts
have been reduced to cash or Cash Equivalents, whereupon the reductions
described in Sections 3.4(c)(i) and (ii) shall be made in respect of
such amounts.
3.5. Notice of Prepayments. The Company shall give written
notice of any optional prepayment of any Loans under Section 3.3 to the Agent
and each Purchaser not less than 45 days nor more than 60 days before the date
fixed in such notice for such prepayment of such Loans. Such notice shall
specify (a) the date of prepayment and (b) the principal amount of Loans to be
prepaid on such date, together with the amount of accrued interest thereon. Any
such notice of prepayment shall be irrevocable and, having been so given, the
aggregate principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice, together with
accrued interest thereon, if any, shall be due and payable on the prepayment
date set forth in such notice.
3.6. Application of Payments. All payments (including

fees, costs and expenses due to the Agent or any Purchaser hereunder or under
any other Note Document; second, to the payment of all other Obligations other
than principal and interest; third, to accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans;
and last, to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans. All partial
prepayments shall be applied on all outstanding Notes, if more than one, ratably
in accordance with the unpaid principal amounts thereof.
3.7. Fees and Expenses.
(a) In General. As a condition precedent to the Purchasers'
obligation to make any Loans, the Company shall pay or deliver to the Agent or
the Purchasers, as applicable, at Closing the following fees and expenses: (i)
to the Purchaser, the outstanding balance due of the $400,000 commitment fee in
respect of this Agreement, (ii) to the Agent, for delivery to the Persons listed
on SCHEDULE 3.7(A) hereto, a total of 350,000 Shares, (iii) to the Agent, the
Agent's agency fee of $36,000, (iv) to the Purchasers, the Warrants, and (v) to
the Purchasers and the Agent, respectively, all costs and expenses of the
Purchasers and the Agent, including without limitation, all reasonable legal and
accounting fees and expenses, appraisals, investigations and other due
diligence, title and lien searches and the filing and recording of UCC financing
statements and other liens and security interests, and all other reasonable
costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation and preparation of and for
this Agreement and the other Note Documents, and all amounts owed under the
Commitment Letter between the Company and Bay Harbour Management, L.C. dated as
of February 3, 2000.
(b) Unpaid Amounts. To the extent that on the Closing Date the
Company or any other Company Party does not pay any portion of any amounts due
on the Closing Date, including under clause (v) of Section 3.7 (a), then from
and after the Closing Date such unpaid portion shall be added to and shall be a
part of the Obligations.
3.8. Conversion Option.
(a) Right to Convert. From time to time while any Obligations
are outstanding, each Purchaser (a "CONVERTING PURCHASER") shall have the right
to convert all or any portion of its Note
-24-
Percentage of the outstanding Obligations into Shares of New Class A Common
Stock at a rate per Share equal to the Conversion Price (the "CONVERSION
OPTION").
(b) Exercise of Option. To elect to convert any of the
Obligations into Shares, the Converting Purchaser shall give written notice to
the Company of such election setting forth (i) the effective date of such
election, (ii) the amount of the Obligations to be converted, including the
portion thereof that constitutes principal under the Loans, and (iii) the
corresponding number of Shares to be received by such Converting Purchaser. On
the effective date of such a conversion, (A) the outstanding amount of the
Obligations hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of
Obligations being converted (and, if necessary, the Notes amended to reflect the
same), and (B) the Company shall be deemed to have made, effective as of such
date, each of the representations with respect to the Shares set forth in (1)
the second and third sentences of Section 5.38(a) and (2) Sections 5.38(c),
5.38(d), 5.38(e), and 5.38(f). Within five (5) business days after the effective
date of such election, the Company shall deliver to such Converting Purchaser
certificates representing such number of Shares, together with any payment due
under Sections 3.8(c) and (d).
(c) No Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issued
upon the conversion of any Obligations. Instead of any fractional Share which
would otherwise be issuable upon any conversion, the Company shall pay to the
Converting Purchaser in cash (by certified check, or wire transfer, of same-day
funds) on the effective date of such conversion in respect of such fraction an
amount equal to the amount of principal and interest constituting such
fractional amount.
(d) Interest. At the option of each Converting Purchaser, any
accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Obligations being
converted shall be either (i) payable to such Converting Purchaser in cash (by
certified check, or wire transfer, of same-day funds) on the effective date of
such conversion or (ii) converted into Shares at the Conversion Price in effect
as of such date.
(e) Adjustments. The Conversion Price and therefore the number
of Shares issuable upon conversion, shall be subject to the following
adjustments:
(i) MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENTS. In case the Company shall
at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date:
(A) split or subdivide the outstanding
shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares;
(B) pay a dividend or make a distribution
on the outstanding shares of any Common Stock in Capital Stock
of the Company in any transaction, in each case, without
payment of any consideration by such holder thereof; or
(C) decrease the outstanding shares of any
Common Stock into a smaller number of shares by virtue of a
combination or reverse stock split;
then, and in each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately
prior to such event shall be proportionately adjusted (and any other
appropriate actions shall be taken by the Company) so that
-25-
each Converting Purchaser shall thereafter be entitled to receive the
number of Shares or other Securities of the Company which such
Converting Purchaser would have owned or had been entitled to receive
upon or by reason of any of the events described above, had it
exercised its Conversion Option effective immediately prior to the
happening of such event (taking into account the effect of Section
3.8(e)(xvi)). An adjustment made pursuant to this clause (i) shall
become effective as of (x) the record date of such transaction (or the
date of such transaction if no record date is fixed), or (y) in the
case of Rights or Convertible Securities that are not immediately
exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into underlying Capital
Stock, the date on which such Rights or Convertible Securities become
exercisable, exchangeable or convertible.
(ii) DISTRIBUTIONS OF CASH OR PROPERTY. If the
Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date
distribute Property or cash (other than cash dividends paid in the
ordinary course) to any holder of shares of its Common Stock, including
without limitation in connection with a voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, then, and in
each such case, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such event shall be proportionately adjusted (and any other appropriate
actions shall be taken by the Company) so that each Converting
Purchaser shall thereafter be entitled to receive Shares or, if
applicable, Property or cash, with a fair market value equal to the
fair market value of the Property or cash such holder would have owned
or been entitled to receive had its Conversion Option been exercised
immediately prior to such transaction at the Conversion Price then in
effect (taking into account the effect of Section 3.8(e)(xvi)) . Such
adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and
shall become effective on the date of such distribution.
(iii) ISSUANCES BELOW CURRENT MARKET PRICE. If from
time to time after the date hereof the Company shall issue or sell
Additional Shares at a consideration per share that is less than the
Current Market Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance,
then, as of the record date of such transaction (or the date of such
transaction if no record date is fixed), the Conversion Price shall be
adjusted to equal the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to
such date multiplied by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be
(1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior
to such date (taking into account the effect of Section 3.8(e)(xvi)),
plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate
consideration received for such Additional Shares would purchase at a
price per share equal to such Conversion Price and (B) the denominator
of which shall be (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such date (taking into account the effect of
Section 3.8(e)(xvi)), plus (2) the number of Additional Shares so
issued. For purposes of this Section 3.8, the issuance of any
Additional Shares or other securities, warrants, options or rights
includes any sale by the Company and any reissuance or resale by the
Company.
(iv) RIGHTS AND CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES. If the
Company issues any Rights entitling the Purchasers to subscribe for or
purchase either any Additional Shares or Convertible Securities that
are convertible into or exchangeable for, with or without payment of
additional consideration, Additional Shares (such Rights being called
"COMMON STOCK RIGHTS" and such Convertible Securities being called
"COMMON STOCK EQUIVALENTS"), and the consideration per share for which
Additional Shares may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to
such Common Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents (when added to the
consideration per share of Common Stock, if any, received for such
Common Stock Rights), is less than the Current Market
-26-
Price, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section
3.8(e)(iii) on the basis that (A) the maximum number of Additional
Shares issuable pursuant to all such Common Stock Rights or necessary
to effect the conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock
Equivalents shall be deemed to have been issued and (B) the aggregate
consideration (plus the consideration, if any, received for such Common
Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents) for such maximum number of
Additional Shares shall be deemed to be the consideration received and
receivable by the Company for the issuance of such Additional Shares
pursuant to such Common Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents.
(v) FURTHER ADJUSTMENT. If the Company issues Common
Stock Equivalents and the consideration per share of which Additional
Shares may at any time thereafter be issuable pursuant to such Common
Stock Equivalents is less than the Current Market Price, the Conversion
Price shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.8(e)(iii) on the basis
that (A) the maximum number of Additional Shares necessary to effect
the conversion or exchange of all such Common Stock Equivalents shall
be deemed to have been issued and (B) the aggregate consideration for
such number of Additional Shares shall be deemed to be the
consideration received and receivable by the Company for the issuance
of such Additional Shares pursuant to such Common Stock Equivalents. No
adjustment of the Conversion Price shall be made under this Section
3.8(e)(v) upon the issuance of any Common Stock Equivalents issued
pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Rights, to the extent that
such adjustment was previously made upon the issuance of such Common
Stock Rights pursuant to Section 3.8(e)(iv).
(vi) RELEVANT CONVERSION PRICE. For purposes of
Sections 3.8(e)(iv) and 3.8(e)(v), the relevant Conversion Price shall
be the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the earlier of
(A) the record date for the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive
the Common Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents and (B) the initial
issuance of the Common Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents, and
the adjustment provided for in either such Section shall become
effective immediately after the earlier of the times specified in
clauses (A) and (B).
(vii) NO ADJUSTMENT. No adjustment of the Conversion
Price shall be made under Section 3.8(e)(iv) or 3.8(e)(v) upon the
issuance of any Additional Shares pursuant to the exercise of any
Common Stock Rights or of any conversion or exchange rights pursuant to
any Common Stock Equivalents if such adjustment was previously made in
connection with the issuance of such Common Stock Rights or Common
Stock Equivalents (or in connection with the issuance of any Common
Stock Rights therefor) pursuant to Section 3.8(e)(iv) or 3.8(e)(v).
(viii) (a) EXPIRATION. If any Common Stock Rights (or
any portions thereof) that gave rise to an adjustment pursuant to
Section 3.8(e)(iv) or any conversion or exchange rights pursuant to any
Common Stock Equivalents that gave rise to an adjustment pursuant to
Section 3.8(e)(iv) or 3.8(e)(v) expire or terminate without the
exercise thereof, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted (but to no
greater extent than originally adjusted) on the basis of (A)
eliminating from the computation Additional Shares corresponding to
such expired or terminated Common Stock Rights or conversion or
-27-
exchange rights, (B) treating the Additional Shares, if any, actually
issued or issuable pursuant to the previous exercise of such Common
Stock Rights or conversion or exchange rights as having been issued for
the consideration actually received and receivable therefor and (C)
treating any such Common Stock Rights or conversion or exchange rights
that remain outstanding as being subject to exercise on the basis of
the consideration payable upon the exercise or conversion thereof as is
in effect at such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any consideration
actually received by the Company in connection with the issuance of
such Common Stock Rights shall form part of the readjustment
computation even though such Common Stock Rights expired without being
exercised.
(b) Modification of Terms. The Conversion Price shall
be readjusted as provided in Section 3.8(e)(iii) and any applicable
provisions of Section 3.8(e)(iv) or 3.8(e)(v) if, following the initial
adjustment, there is any increase in the number of Additional Shares
issuable, or any decrease in the consideration payable upon any
issuance of Additional Shares, pursuant to any antidilution provisions
of any Common Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents.
(ix) ADDITIONAL SHARES. (A) If any Additional Shares,
Common Stock Rights or Common Stock Equivalents are issued for cash,
the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount of
cash received.
(B) If any Additional Shares, Common Stock
Rights or Common Stock Equivalents are offered by the Company
for subscription, the consideration received therefor shall be
deemed to be the subscription price.
(C) If any Additional Shares, Common Stock
Rights or Common Stock Equivalents are sold to underwriters or
dealers for public offering without a subscription offering,
the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the
public offering price.
(D) In any case not covered by Section
3.8(e)(ix)(A), (B) or (C), in determining the amount of any
consideration received by the Company in whole or in part
other than in cash, the amount of such consideration shall be
deemed to be the fair market value of such consideration as
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company, and evidence of such determination shall be filed
with the minutes of the Company. If Additional Shares are
issued as part of a unit with Common Stock Rights, the
consideration received for the Common Stock Rights shall be
deemed to be the portion of the consideration received for
such unit determined in good faith at the time of issuance by
the Board of Directors of the Company, and evidence of such
determination shall be filed with the minutes of the Company.
If the Board of Directors of the Company does not make any
such determination, the consideration received for the Common
Stock Rights shall be deemed to be zero. In either event, the
consideration received for the Additional Shares shall be
deemed to be the consideration received for such unit less the
consideration deemed to have been received for the Common
Stock Rights.
(E) In any case covered by Section
3.8(e)(ix)(A), (B), (C) or (D), in determining the amount of
consideration received by the Company, (I) any amounts
received or receivable for accrued interest or accrued
dividends shall be excluded and (II) any compensation,
underwriting commissions or concessions or expenses paid or
incurred in connection therewith shall not be deducted.
-28-
(F) In any case covered by Section
3.8(e)(ix)(A), (B), (C) or (D), there shall be added to the
consideration received by the Company at the time of issuance
or sale (I) the minimum aggregate amount of additional
consideration payable to the Company upon the exercise of
rights that relate to Common Stock Equivalents and (II) the
minimum aggregate amount of consideration payable upon the
conversion or exchange thereof.
(G) If any Additional Shares, Common Stock
Rights or Common Stock Equivalents are issued in connection
with any merger, consolidation or other reorganization in
which the Company is the surviving corporation, the amount of
consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the fair
market value, as determined in good faith by the Board of
Directors of the Company, of such portion of the assets and
business of the non-surviving person or persons as the Board
of Directors of the Company determines in good faith to be
attributable to such Additional Shares, Common Stock Rights or
Common Stock Equivalents, and evidence of such determination
shall be filed with the minutes of the Company.
(x) DE MINIMIS CHANGES IN CONVERSION PRICE.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under
this Section 3.8(e) need be made to the Conversion Price unless such
adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% of the
Conversion Price then in effect. Any lesser adjustment shall be carried
forward and shall be made at the time of and together with the next
subsequent adjustment, which, together with any adjustment or
adjustments so carried forward, shall amount to an increase or decrease
of at least 1% of the number of Shares issuable upon any conversion of
any Obligations. Any adjustment to the Conversion Price carried forward
and not theretofore made shall be made immediately prior to the
conversion of any of the Obligations pursuant hereto.
(xi) EFFECT OF ADJUSTMENT. Intentionally Omitted.
(xii) OTHER SECURITIES. If at any time, as a result
of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 3.8(e), a Purchaser
shall become entitled to purchase any Securities other than Shares, the
number or amount of such other Securities so purchasable and the
purchase price of such Securities shall be subject to adjustment from
time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as
practicable to the provisions contained in Section 3.8(e)(i) through
Section 3.8(e)(vi), inclusive, and all other relevant provisions of
this Section 3.8 that are applicable to Shares shall be applicable to
such other Securities.
(xiii) UPWARD ADJUSTMENTS. Notwithstanding anything
contrary contained in this Section 3.8(e), the Company shall be
entitled to make such adjustments in the Conversion Price, in addition
to those otherwise required by this Section 3.8(e), as the Board of
Directors of the Company in its discretion shall determine to be
advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision or combination
of shares, distribution of Rights or Convertible Securities exercisable
or exchangeable for or convertible into additional Shares or other
Securities of the Company hereafter made by the Company to its
shareholders shall not be taxable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
-29-
any such adjustment shall be made, as nearly as practicable, in a
manner which treats all holders of convertible debt of the Company with
similar protections on an equal basis.
(xiv) OTHER ADJUSTMENTS. In case the Company at any
time or from time to time shall take any action which could have a
dilutive effect on the number of Shares that may be issued upon any
exercise of the Conversion Option, other than an action described in
any of Sections 3.8(e)(i) through 3.8(e)(viii), inclusive, then the
Conversion Price shall be adjusted in such manner and at such time as
the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines to be
equitable under the circumstances (such determination to be evidenced
in a resolution, a certified copy of which shall be mailed to the
Purchasers and the Agent).
(xv) MISCELLANEOUS. Adjustments shall be made
pursuant to this Section 3.8(e) successively whenever any of the events
referred to in Sections 3.8(e)(i) through 3.8(e)(vi), inclusive, shall
occur. If any Conversion Option shall be exercised subsequent to the
record date for any of the events referred to in this Section 3.8(e),
but prior to the effective date thereof, appropriate adjustments shall
be made immediately after such effective date so that the Converting
Purchaser on such record date shall have received, in the aggregate,
the kind and number of Shares or other Securities or Property or cash
that it would have owned or been entitled to receive on such effective
date had such Conversion Option been exercised prior to such record
date.
(xvi) ADJUSTMENTS IN RESPECT OF NEW CLASS B COMMON
STOCK. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company
acknowledges and agrees that the Conversion Price on the date hereof
was agreed to and determined by reference to the fully diluted
aggregate number of shares of New Class A Common Stock and New Class B
Common Stock outstanding on the date hereof (the "HOLDER'S
PROPORTIONATE INTEREST"). If at any time any of the events referred to
in Section 3.8(e) occur in respect of New Class B Common Stock but not
New Class A Common Stock, the Conversion Price shall be appropriately
adjusted so that an event with respect to New Class B Common Stock does
not have a dilutive effect on the Holder's Proportionate Interest.
(f) Reclassification. If the Company, by reclassification of
securities or otherwise, will change any of the securities as to which purchase
rights under this Conversion Option exist into the same or a different number of
securities of any other class or classes, this Conversion Option will thereafter
represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have
been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities that
were subject to the purchase rights under this Conversion Option immediately
prior to such reclassification or other change and the Conversion Price
therefore will be appropriately adjusted, all subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Section 3.8.
(g) Adjustment for Capital Reorganization, Merger or
Consolidation. In case of any capital reorganization of the Capital Stock of the
Company (other than a combination, reclassification, exchange or subdivision of
shares otherwise provided for herein), or any merger or consolidation of the
Company with or into another Person, or the sale of all or substantially all the
assets of the Company then, and in each such case, as a part of such
reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, lawful provision will
be made so that the Purchasers will thereafter be entitled to receive upon
exercise of this Conversion Option, during the period specified herein and upon
payment of the Conversion Price then in effect, the number of shares of stock or
other securities or property (including cash) of the successor Person resulting
from such reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer that a holder
of the shares
-30-
deliverable upon exercise of this Conversion Option would have been entitled to
receive in such reorganization, consolidation, merger, sale or transfer if this
Conversion Option had been exercised immediately before such reorganization,
merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, all subject to further adjustment as
provided in this Section 3.8. The foregoing provisions of this Section 3.8(g)
will similarly apply to successive reorganizations, consolidations, mergers,
sales and transfers and to the stock or securities of any other Person that are
at the time receivable upon the exercise of this Conversion Option. If the
per-share consideration payable to the Converting Purchaser for shares in
connection with any such transaction is in a form other than cash or marketable
securities, then the value of such consideration will be determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors of the Company. In all events, appropriate
adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the
Company) will be made in the application of the provisions of this Conversion
Option with respect to the rights and interests of the Purchasers after the
transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Conversion Option will be
applicable after that event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any
shares or other property deliverable after that event upon exercise of this
Conversion Option.
(h) Notice of Adjustment. Whenever the Conversion Price is
adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly (and in any case within
five Business Days after the effective date of any such adjustment) give to each
Purchaser and the Agent notice of such adjustment or adjustments and shall
promptly (and in any case within five Business Days after the effective date of
such adjustment or adjustments) deliver to each Purchaser and the Agent a
certificate of the Company's chief financial officer setting forth (i) the
Conversion Price after such adjustment; (ii) a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment; and (iii) the computation by which such adjustment
was made.
(i) Special Distributions. If a Purchaser so elects by sending
a Special Notice to the Company, in the event that the Company shall declare a
dividend or make any other distribution (including, without limitation, in cash,
in capital stock (which shall include, without limitation, any options, warrants
or other rights to acquire capital stock) of the Company, whether or not
pursuant to a shareholder rights plan, "poison pill" or similar arrangement or
in other Property) to holders of New Class A Common Stock or other Securities
for which this Conversion Option may then be exercisable (a "SPECIAL
DISTRIBUTION"), then the Board of Directors of the Company shall set aside the
amount of such dividend or distribution that such Purchaser would have been
entitled to receive had it exercised its Conversion Option prior to the record
date for such dividend or distribution (taking into account the effect of
Section 3.8(e)(xvi)). Upon the exercise of its Conversion Option, the Converting
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Special Distributions that such
Converting Purchaser would have received had its Conversion Option been
exercised immediately prior to the record date for each such Special
Distribution or distribution. The Company shall notify each Purchaser and the
Agent not less than ten Business Days prior to the occurrence of each Special
Distribution of its intent to make such Special Distribution. If a Purchaser
elects to have such Special Distribution set aside for its benefit upon exercise
of its Conversion Option rather than have an adjustment made to the Conversion
Price as provided in Section 3.8(e), the Purchaser shall notify the Company by
sending a Special Notice prior to the date of any such Special Distribution.
(j) Transfer Taxes. The Company will pay any and all stamp,
delivery, transfer, documentary and similar taxes or charges that may be payable
by it or by any Purchaser in respect of the issuance or delivery of the Shares
or other Securities on conversion of any Obligations pursuant hereto.
-31-
(k) HSR Act. The Company shall make all filings with, and
obtain all approvals, consents and actions by, any Governmental Authority
necessary to ensure that any conversion of any Obligations complies with the HSR
Act. If the effective date of any conversion would occur before the date of
expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act, such
date shall be automatically extended until the date of such expiration or early
termination or such later date on which all necessary consents and approvals are
obtained thereunder.

7.1. Payments and Taxes.
(a) Payments. The Company will duly and punctually pay the
principal of, premium (if any) and interest on the Notes in accordance with
their terms and this Agreement and all other Obligations in accordance with this
Agreement and the other Note Documents, free and clear of, and without reduction

taxes imposed on such Purchaser by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such
Purchaser is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof
or therein (such non-excluded taxes, "TAXES"). If any Taxes are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable to any Purchaser hereunder, under any Note or
under any other Note Document, the amounts so payable to such Purchaser shall be
increased to the extent necessary to yield to such Purchaser (after payment of
all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or

Note Document. If the Company fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate
taxing authority, the Company shall indemnify each Purchaser for any incremental
taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Purchaser as a
result of any such failure.
(b) Taxes. Each Purchaser that is not a United States person
(as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. Federal
income tax purposes (each, a "NON-U.S. PURCHASER") agrees to deliver to the
Company and the Agent on or prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a

date of such assignment or transfer to such Non-U.S. Purchaser, (i) two accurate
and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
Form W-8IMY,
-51-
or Form W-8BEN (or successor forms) certifying that such Non-U.S. Purchaser is
entitled as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding
tax with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement and under any Note,
or (ii) if such Non-U.S. Purchaser is not a "BANK" within the meaning of Section
881(c)(3)(A) of the Code and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service Form
W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) (with respect to
certifying a complete exemption under an income tax treaty), (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of EXHIBIT K (any such certificate, a "SECTION 7.1(B)
CERTIFICATE"), and (y) two accurate and complete original signed copies of
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8IMY. In addition, each Non-U.S.

of time or a change in facts or circumstances renders the previous certification
obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, such Non-U.S. Purchaser will
deliver to the Company and the Agent two new accurate and complete original
signed copies of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN, or
Form W-8IMY, (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty)
or Form W-8IMY or Form W-8BEN and a Section 7.1(b) Certificate, as the case may
be, or such Non-U.S. Purchaser shall immediately notify the Company and the
Agent of its inability to deliver any such form or Section 7.1(b) Certificate,
in which case such Non-U.S. Purchaser shall not be required to deliver any such
form or Section 7.1(b) Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 7.1(a), but subject to the immediately succeeding sentence,
(x) the Company shall be entitled, to the extent required to do so by law, to
deduct or withhold income taxes imposed by the United States from interest
payable hereunder or under a Note for the account of any Non-U.S. Purchaser to
the extent that such Non-U.S. Purchaser has not provided to the Company Internal
Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the Company pursuant to this
Section 7.1(b), and (y) the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to Section
7.1(a) to make increased payments to a Non-U.S. Purchaser in respect of income
taxes imposed by the United States if such Non-U.S. Purchaser has not provided
to the Company the Internal Revenue Service Forms required to be provided to the
Company pursuant to this Section 7.1(b). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this Section 7.1,
the Company agrees to pay any additional amounts and to indemnify each Non-U.S.
Purchaser in the manner set forth in Section 7.1(a) in respect of any United
States income Taxes deducted or withheld by it (and, if any Non-U.S. Purchaser
is a withholding foreign partnership within the meaning of Treas. Reg.
ss.1-1441-5, in respect of any United States income Taxes withheld by such
Non-U.S. Purchaser with respect to amounts received by such Non-U.S. Purchaser

withheld but for any change that is effective after the Closing Date in any
governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the interpretation
thereof.

obligations under this Section 7.1, the Company shall indemnify the Agent and

obligations under the TSP Agreement and also with all mortgages and
all other agreements with respect to the ownership, use and operation
of the Membership Interest.
(b) No Modifications, Waivers or Extensions. No
Company Party will, in each case without the Agent's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (i) amend,
modify, terminate or waive any provision of the TSP Agreement or vote
to permit the amendment, modification, termination or waiver of the
TSP Agreement or any provision of any such document, (ii) fail to
exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which

termination or "put" right or other right the exercise of which would
be adverse to the interests of the Company or the Agent hereunder,
which rights it shall not exercise without the Agent's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) or (iii)
fail to deliver the Agent a copy of each demand, notice or document
received or given by it relating in any way to the TSP Agreement or

regulatory body having jurisdiction with respect thereto or as is carried
generally in accordance with sound business practice by companies in similar
businesses similarly situated and in any event in amount, adequacy and scope
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent as of the Closing Date and with such
deductibles or self-insured retentions as are in accordance with normal industry
practice and all applicable laws, rules and regulations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that

satisfactory to the Agent effecting such
-58-
specification and, all policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable

payments to be made under such policies. All original policies or true copies
thereof are to be delivered to the Agent, premium prepaid, with the additional
insured endorsement in the Agent's favor, and shall provide for not less than
thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Agent of the exercise of any right
of modification or cancellation. At the Company's request, the Agent may arrange

companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims.

modifications, (i) the Company Parties remain insured in such amounts and

regulatory body having jurisdiction with respect thereto, (ii) such insurance is

business practice by companies in similar businesses similarly situated, (iii)

assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect
the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance
policies.
(d) Delivery of Policies. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 7.4(c), the Company shall, if so requested by the Agent, deliver to the

the Company or any other Company Party to be used for any activities involving,
directly or indirectly, the use, generation, treatment, storage,

property or facility owned, operated or occupied by a Company Party for any
activities involving, directly or indirectly, the use, generation, treatment,
storage, release or disposal of any Hazardous Materials, individually or in the

a Material Adverse Effect. On behalf of the Company and each other Company
Party, the Company hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the
Agent and the Purchasers, their employees, agents, officers, and directors, from

hereafter become bound to convey, mortgage or assign any of its assets or other
rights to the Agent and the Purchasers.

hold harmless each Purchaser, the Agent and their respective Affiliates and
their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, partners, members and
shareholders (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") to the fullest extent permitted by
law from and against any and all Losses resulting from (a) any breach of any
representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of any Company Party in this
Agreement or any other Note Document (without giving effect to any materiality
or material adverse effect or knowledge qualification contained therein), (b)
any matter disclosed in the Schedules to this Agreement or any other Note
Document or (c) any legal, administrative or other actions (including actions
brought by any equity holders of the Company or derivative actions brought by
any Person claiming through a Company Party or in a Company Party's name),
proceedings or investigations (whether formal or informal), or written threats
thereof, based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other
Note Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby
(including without limitation the use of proceeds of the Loans, other than
Losses that result from the Indemnified Person's gross negligence or willful
misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. In connection
with the obligation of the Company Parties to indemnify for expenses as set
forth above, the Company Parties further agree, jointly and severally, to
reimburse each Indemnified Person for all such expenses (including reasonable
fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel) as they are incurred by such
Indemnified Person.
9.2. Notification. Each Indemnified Person under this Article
will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, or
other proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity
may be sought from the Company under this Article, notify the Company in writing
of the commencement thereof. The failure of any Indemnified Person so to notify
the Company of any such action shall not relieve the Company from any liability
which it may have to such Indemnified Person hereunder. In case any such action
or other proceeding shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall
notify the Company of the commencement thereof, the Company shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, to assume the defense
thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any indemnified party may, at its own expense, retain
separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in any action or proceeding in which the Company, on the one hand, and an
Indemnified Person, on the other hand, are, or are reasonably likely to become,
parties, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel
at the Company's expense and to control its own defense of such action or
proceeding if, in the opinion of such Indemnified Person, (a) there are or may
be legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person or to other Indemnified
Persons that are different from or additional to those available to the Company
or (b) any conflict or potential conflict exists between the Company, on the one
hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, that would make such
separate representation advisable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no event shall the
Company be required to pay fees and expenses under this Article for more than
one firm of attorneys for such Indemnified Person in any jurisdiction in any one
legal action or group of related legal actions. The Company shall not consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as
an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or
litigation or which requires action other than the payment of money by the
Indemnified Person. The rights
-71-
accorded to Indemnified Persons hereunder shall be in addition to any rights and
remedies that any Indemnified Person may have at law or in equity, by separate
agreement or otherwise.
9.3. Survival. The provisions of this Article 9 shall survive
the payment of the Obligations and discharge or release of any Lien granted
under any Note Document.

are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and the other Note Documents,
together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to
Section 12.6(b), any notice or direction to the Agent from the Required
Purchasers shall be deemed to be a notice or direction to the Agent from all
Purchasers and shall be binding on all of the Purchasers, and the Agent shall be
entitled to rely thereon as if given by all of the Purchasers. By its execution
hereof, the Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to exercise the rights and

take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default except as
expressly provided in Article 10 hereof, but subject to Section 11.3(c) hereof,
and (ii) in no event shall the Agent have any implied duties under this
Agreement. In addition, the Agent shall not execute or consent to any amendment,
supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, the Notes
or any other Note Document, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the

Purchasers, the Agent, and to the extent necessary the Company and each Company
Party, shall execute and deliver a supplemental agreement and all other
instruments and agreements, with terms reasonably acceptable to the Agent,
necessary or proper to appoint another bank or trust company, or one or more
persons approved by the Required Purchasers, to act as collateral agent of all
or part of the Collateral, in any such case with such powers as may be provided
in such supplemental agreement, and to vest in such bank, trust company or
person as such security agent or separate trustee, as the case may be, any
property, title, right or power of the Agent deemed necessary or advisable by
the Required Purchasers.
(c) Knowledge of Agent. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under any Note
Document unless it shall have received written notice thereof from a Company
Party or from a Purchaser, which notice, in the case of notice from a Purchaser,
shall refer to the applicable Note Document and state that it is a notice of a
Default or an Event of Default. The Agent shall take such action with respect to
a Default or an Event of Default as shall be directed by the Required
Purchasers; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that unless and until the Agent shall have
received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Purchasers.
(d) Property Held for Benefit of Purchasers. The Agent shall
hold any Collateral and any other documents or instruments delivered by a
Company Party in connection with the Obligations, and all payments and proceeds
received in connection therewith (except payments of fees and reimbursable costs
and expenses of Agent), in the name of Agent for the undivided benefit and
protection of the Purchasers, to be held and distributed in accordance with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 3.1(b).

consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers or (b) in the absence of
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. The Agent shall not be
compelled to do any act under the Note Documents or to take any action toward
the execution or enforcement of the powers created by the Note Documents, or to
prosecute or defend any suit in respect of the Note Documents, (x) if it in good
faith believes that such action is unlawful or would subject it to material
liability or (y) unless indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against any
and all loss, cost, liability and expense it may incur in connection therewith.
Neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall
be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with the Note
Documents, (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or
agreements of any Company Party, (iii) the legality, validity, effectiveness,
enforceability, sufficiency or genuineness of the Note Documents or any other
instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith or (iv) receipt by any
other Purchaser of any certificates required to be delivered by the Company
hereunder. The Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon
any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a
bank wire, telex or similar writing) reasonably believed by it to be genuine or
to be signed by the proper party or parties. The Agent makes no representation
as to, and shall have no responsibility to ascertain, inquire into or verify,
the value or condition of the Collateral or any part thereof or as to the title
of the Company or any other party to the Collateral or the validity, sufficiency
or enforceability thereof or the security afforded thereby. The Agent shall not,
under any circumstances or any event whatsoever, have any liability for any
error or omission or delivery of any kind made in the settlement, collection or
payment of any of the Collateral or of any instrument received in payment
therefor or for any damage resulting therefrom other than as a result of the
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11.5. Indemnification. Each Purchaser shall severally, in
accordance with its Note Percentage, without giving effect to any participations
in all or any portion of its Notes sold by such Purchaser to any other Person,
indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company) and the
Agent's Indemnified Persons against any obligation, damage, penalty, judgment,
cost, expense (including attorneys' fees and disbursements), claim, demand,
suit, action, loss (including unpaid fees or disbursements due and owing to the
Agent) or liability (including any liability under any laws relating to
environmental protection and any liability for such Indemnified Person's own
negligence, but not including any liability that results from such Indemnified
Person's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such Indemnified Person
may suffer or incur in connection with the Note Documents or the Collateral or
any action taken or omitted by such Indemnified Person thereunder. The
obligations of each Purchaser under this Section shall survive payment of the
Obligations and termination of this Agreement.
11.6. Credit Decision. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into the Note Documents. Each Purchaser also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any
action under the Note Documents.
11.7. Resignation of Agent. The Agent may resign at any time
by giving written notice thereof to the other Purchasers and the Company. Upon
any such resignation, the Required Purchasers
-77-
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to appoint a successor Agent,
without the consent of the Company. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Purchasers and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the other Purchasers, appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of
America or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at
least $500,000,000.
11.8. Removal of Agent. The Required Purchasers shall have the
right, in their sole discretion, to remove Agent as Agent hereunder and, without
the consent of the Company, appoint a successor Agent, upon 30 days' prior
written notice thereof to the Agent; PROVIDED, that if the Agent defaults in the
performance or observance of any of its obligations under this Agreement or is
grossly negligent in the performance of its obligations hereunder or engages in
willful misconduct, then such removal shall be effective immediately upon notice
to the Agent thereof.
11.9. Successor Agent. Upon the written acceptance of its
appointment as Agent by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon
succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent's resignation or
removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its
benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent.

and Acceptance Agreement duly executed by the registered holder of such
Note or its attorney duly authorized in writing; PROVIDED, that the
Company may decline to exchange or register the transfer of any Note
during the period of five Business Days preceding the due date for any

-79-
(iii) The Person in whose name any registered Note

(b) Exchange of Notes. At any time and from time to

given by the holder of any Note initially delivered or of any Note
substituted therefor pursuant to this Section 12.3 (except in the case
of a lost, stolen, or mutilated certificate sought to be exchanged
pursuant to Section 12.3(c), as soon as practicable), and, upon
surrender of such Note at the office of the Company, the Company shall
deliver in exchange therefor, without expense to the holder, except as
set forth below, one or more Notes for the same aggregate principal
amount as the then unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered,
in the denomination of not less than U.S. $10,000.00 (unless the
aggregate principal amount of all Notes held by such holder is less
than $10,000.00), or any amount in excess thereof as such holder shall
specify, dated as of the date to which interest has been paid on the
Note so surrendered, or, if such surrender is prior to the payment of
any interest thereon, then dated as of the date of issue, payable to
such Person or Persons, or registered assigns, as may be designated by
such holder and otherwise permitted hereunder, and otherwise of the
same form and tenor as the Notes so surrendered for exchange. The
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp
tax or governmental charges imposed upon such exchange or transfer.
(c) Loss, Theft or Mutilation of Notes. Upon receipt
of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft,
mutilation or destruction of any Notes, and in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction upon delivery of a bond of indemnity in such
form and amount as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or
in the event of such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of the
Note, the Company shall deliver without expense to the holder thereof,
a new Note, of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated Note. If any Purchaser is the owner of any such lost, stolen
or destroyed Note, then the affidavit of an authorized officer, of such
owner, setting forth the fact of loss, theft or destruction and of its
ownership of the Note at the time of such loss, theft or destruction
shall be accepted as satisfactory evidence thereof and no further
indemnity shall be required as a condition to the execution and
delivery of a new Note other than the written agreement of such owner
to indemnify the Company.
12.4. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns and
permitted transferees of the parties hereto. Except as expressly provided in any

Agreement or any such Note Document.
12.5. Assignments and Participations.

(b) By Purchasers. Each Purchaser and any subsequent
holder of Notes may, at any time or from time to time, sell, agree to sell or
assign or transfer to one or more Persons, all or any portion of its interest in
the Loans, this Agreement and the other Note Documents; PROVIDED, that the
parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Company with a
copy to the Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Note Register, an
Assignment and Acceptance in the form of EXHIBIT L attached hereto (an
"ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT"), together with the Note or Notes subject
to such assignment. In the event of any such sale, assignment or transfer of a
Note, upon surrender for exchange of any Note at the office of the Company
designated for notices in accordance with Section 12.2, the Company shall
execute and deliver in exchange therefor, without expense to the holder, one or
more new Notes in the same aggregate principal amount as the then unpaid
principal amount of the Note so surrendered as such holder shall specify, dated
as of the date to which interest has been paid on the Note so surrendered (or,
if no interest has been paid, the date of such surrendered Note), in the name of
such Person or Persons as may be designated by such holder in writing, and
otherwise of the same form and tenor as the Note so surrendered for exchange.
Every Note surrendered for transfer shall be duly endorsed, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by the holder of such Note or its
attorney duly authorized in writing.
(c) Disclosure of Information. The Purchaser and any
subsequent holder of Notes may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section,
disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any
information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries furnished to the
Purchaser or such holder by or on behalf of the Company or such Subsidiary;
provided that prior to any such disclosure, each such assignee or participant
and proposed assignee or participant shall agree with the Purchaser or such
holder to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating
to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries received from the Purchaser.
(d) Additional Information. For so long as any Notes
remain outstanding, the Company shall make available at its expense,

Act, unless the Company is then subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act. At the written request of a Purchaser holding such
securities who proposes to sell any of such securities in compliance
with Rule 144, the Company shall furnish to such Purchaser, within two
business days after receipt of such request, a written statement as to
whether or not the Company is in compliance with the filing
requirements of the Exchange Act, or otherwise has publicly available
information, as set forth in Rule 144(c).
(e) Participations. Each Purchaser may sell
participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its

Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement (including, without
limitation, its Commitment hereunder) and the other Note Documents

Document).
12.6. Amendment and Waiver.
(a) No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any
Purchaser in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise
of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not exclusive
of any remedies that may be available to any Purchaser at law, in
equity or otherwise.
(b) Amendments. Any amendment, supplement or
modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any
other Note Document, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the
Notes or any other Note Document, and any consent to any departure by
the Company or any other Company Party from the terms of any provision

similar or other circumstances.
12.7. Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may
be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original

performance (including, without limitation, the specific performance) of the

Governmental Authority, arbitrator or grand jury (whether or not having the

-84-
was then under an obligation of nondisclosure. The Purchasers and the Agent
shall have the right to disclose any confidential information described in this
Section 12.15 to an assignee or prospective assignee of the Agent or any
Purchaser or to a participant or prospective participant in the Notes hereunder;

The Company promises to pay interest on any overdue principal

All borrowings and payments of the principal of any Loan shall
be recorded by the holder hereof and, prior to any transfer hereof, appropriate
notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to such Loans shall
be endorsed by the holder hereof, on the schedule attached hereto, or on a

This Note may be transferred by Purchaser to any other Person,
by duly completing and executing the form of endorsement attached hereto and an
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement.
This Note is the Note (or, if more than one, then is one of
the Notes) referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Note Purchase
Agreement. Among other things, the Note Purchase Agreement (i) provides for the
making of the Loans evidenced by this Note by Purchaser to the Company on the

This Note is secured by the property described in the Note
Purchase Agreement and the other Note Documents (the "COLLATERAL").
All or any portion of the Obligations evidenced by this Note
may be converted into Shares of the Company (or other Securities) at the times
and rates and on such other terms as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the
Company hereby waives all benefit that might accrue to the Company by virtue of
any present or future moratorium laws exempting any of the Collateral, or any
other property, real or personal, or any part of the proceeds arising from any
sale of any such property, from attachment, levy, or sale under execution, or
providing for any stay of execution to be issued on any judgment recovered on
this Note (excepting only any stay of execution) or in
A-2
any action to foreclose or otherwise realize upon the Collateral, exemption from
civil process, or extension of time for payment.
THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES PRESENTMENT, DEMAND, DILIGENCE,
PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF
ACCELERATION, DEMAND, DISHONOR AND NON-PAYMENT OF THIS NOTE OR ANY OTHER NOTICE
OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY REQUIRED UNDER THE NOTE DOCUMENTS).
THE NONEXERCISE BY THE HOLDER OF ANY OF ITS RIGHTS HEREUNDER IN ANY PARTICULAR
INSTANCE SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER THEREOF IN THAT OR ANY SUBSEQUENT
INSTANCE.
Notwithstanding anything in this Note or in any other Note
Document to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate payable under the
Note Purchase Agreement, together with all fees and charges which are treated as
interest under applicable Legal Requirements, including the Overdue Rate
(collectively, the "Charges"), as provided in the Note Purchase Agreement or in
any other document executed in connection therewith, or otherwise contracted
for, charged, received, taken or reserved by Purchaser, shall exceed the maximum
lawful rate (the "LEGAL RATE") which may be contracted for, charged, taken,
received or reserved by Purchaser in accordance with applicable Legal
Requirements, the interest rate applicable to this Note and any other Note
Document, together with all Charges payable to Purchaser, shall be limited to
the Legal Rate and any interest or Charges not so limited, taken, received or
reserved by Purchaser at such time shall be spread, prorated or amortized over
the term of the Note Purchase Agreement to the fullest extent permitted by Legal
Requirements.
If any term or provision of this Note or the Note Purchase
Agreement or the application thereof to any circumstance shall, in any
jurisdiction and to any extent, be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such term
or such provisions shall be ineffective as to such jurisdiction to the extent of
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating or
rendering unenforceable any remaining terms and provisions hereof or thereof or
the application of such term or provision to circumstances other than those as
to which it is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.
Purchaser shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise
