Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.8, the Issuer 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 $10,000,000 in the aggregate in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), 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 an Officer’s Certificate 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 (2) Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes an Officer’s Certificate 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 Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes (without regard to series) at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.


 
-20- 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 (which shall be a Business Day), 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 Issuer 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 Issuer and canceled 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 Issuer 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 Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment 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. “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, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the yield(s) 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 PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the


 
-21- yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for 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 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years 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, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, 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 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 8.4 or Section 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. Section 8.7. Prepayment in Connection with a Noteholder Sanctions Event. (a) Upon the Issuer’s receipt of notice from any Affected Noteholder that a Noteholder Sanctions Event has occurred (which notice shall refer specifically to this Section 8.7(a) and describe in reasonable detail such Noteholder Sanctions


 
-22- Event), the Issuer shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, make an offer (the “Sanctions Prepayment Offer”) to prepay the entire unpaid principal amount of Notes held by such Affected Noteholder (the “Affected Notes”), together with interest thereon to the prepayment date selected by the Issuer with respect to each Affected Note but without payment of any Make- Whole Amount with respect thereto, which prepayment shall be on a Business Day not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days after the date of the Sanctions Prepayment Offer (the “Sanctions Prepayment Date”). Such Sanctions Prepayment Offer shall provide that such Affected Noteholder notify the Issuer in writing by a stated date (the “Sanctions Prepayment Response Date”), which date is not later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the stated Sanctions Prepayment Date, of its acceptance or rejection of such prepayment offer. If such Affected Noteholder does not notify the Issuer as provided above, then the holder shall be deemed to have accepted such offer. (b) Subject to the provisions of subparagraphs (c) and (d) of this Section 8.7, the Issuer shall prepay on the Sanctions Prepayment Date the entire unpaid principal amount of the Affected Notes held by such Affected Noteholder who has accepted (or has been deemed to have accepted) such prepayment offer (in accordance with subparagraph (a)), together with interest thereon to the Sanctions Prepayment Date with respect to each such Affected Note, but without payment of any Make- Whole Amount with respect thereto. (c) If a Noteholder Sanctions Event has occurred but the Issuer and/or its Controlled Entities have taken such action(s) in relation to their activities so as to remedy such Noteholder Sanctions Event (with the effect that a Noteholder Sanctions Event no longer exists, as reasonably determined by such Affected Noteholder) prior to the Sanctions Prepayment Date, then the Issuer shall no longer be obliged or permitted to prepay such Affected Notes in relation to such Noteholder Sanctions Event. If the Issuer and/or its Controlled Entities shall undertake any actions to remedy any such Noteholder Sanctions Event, the Issuer shall keep the holders reasonably and timely informed of such actions and the results thereof. (d) If any Affected Noteholder that has given written notice to the Issuer of its acceptance of (or has been deemed to have accepted) the Issuer’s prepayment offer in accordance with subparagraph (a) also gives notice to the Issuer prior to the relevant Sanctions Prepayment Date that it has determined (in its sole discretion) that it requires clearance from any Governmental Authority in order to receive a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.7, the principal amount of each Note held by such Affected Noteholder, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment, shall become due and payable on the later to occur of (but in no event later than the Maturity Date of the relevant Note) (i) such Sanctions Prepayment Date and (ii) the date that is ten (10) Business Days after such Affected Noteholder gives notice to the Issuer that it is entitled to receive a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.7 (which may include payment to an escrow account designated by such Affected Noteholder to be held in escrow for


 
-23- the benefit of such Affected Noteholder until such Affected Noteholder obtains such clearance from such Governmental Authority), and in any event, any such delay in accordance with the foregoing clause (ii) shall not be deemed to give rise to any Default or Event of Default. (e) Promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, after the Issuer’s receipt of notice from any Affected Noteholder that a Noteholder Sanctions Event shall have occurred with respect to such Affected Noteholder, the Issuer shall forward a copy of such notice to each other holder of Notes. (f) The Issuer shall promptly, and in any event within ten (10) Business Days, give written notice to the holders after the Issuer or any Controlled Entity having been notified that (i) its name appears or may in the future appear on a State Sanctions List or (ii) it is in violation of, or is subject to the imposition of sanctions under, any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws, in each case which notice shall describe the facts and circumstances thereof and set forth the action, if any, that the Issuer or a Controlled Entity proposes to take with respect thereto. (g) The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.7 shall be in addition to any rights or remedies available to any holder of Notes that may arise under this Agreement as a result of the occurrence of a Noteholder Sanctions Event; provided, that, if the Notes shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1 as a result of the events, conditions or actions of the Issuer or its Controlled Entities that gave rise to a Noteholder Sanctions Event, the remedies set forth in Section 12 shall control. Section 8.8. Repayment Upon Failure to Obtain Investment Grade Rating. If the Obligors fail to obtain an Investment Grade Rating on the Notes by Moody’s or before January 22, 2016, then the Issuer shall make a Rating Prepayment pursuant to Section 9.16. Section 8.9. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (x) subject to clause (y), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (y) any payment of principal of or Make- Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day. SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. Each Obligor, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees that so long as the Notes are outstanding, such Obligor shall perform, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to perform, all covenants in this Section 9.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of either Obligor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of such Obligor under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and any Subsidiary Guarantee embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Section 17.1. Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Obligors and the Required Holders, except that: (a) no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing; (b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2 and Section 17.1(c)), 11(a), 12, 17 or 20; and (c) Section 8.5 may be amended or waived to permit offers to purchase made by the Issuer or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions only with the written consent of the Issuer and the Super-Majority Holders.


 
-55- Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes. (a) Solicitation. The Obligors will provide each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee. The Obligors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guarantee to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes. (b) Payment. The Obligors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of any Subsidiary Guarantee or of any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. (c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent given pursuant to this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guarantee by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to either Obligor, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of either Obligor (either pursuant to a waiver under this Section 17.1(c) or subsequent to Section 8.5 having been amended pursuant to this Section 17.1(c)) in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder. Section 17.3. Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 or any Subsidiary Guarantee applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Obligors and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note or Subsidiary Guarantee shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. Section 17.4. Notes Held by Obligors, etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in any Subsidiary Guarantee or the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the


 
-56- holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by either Obligor or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding. SECTION 18. NOTICES. All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent: (i) if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Issuer in writing, (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Issuer in writing, or (iii) if to the Issuer, to the Issuer at 309 N. Water Street, Suite 500, Milwaukee, WI 53202, to the attention of Jeff N. Theiler, with a copy to the attention of Brad D. Page, or at such other address as the Issuer shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing; or (iv) if to the Parent Guarantor, in care of the Issuer at the address of the Issuer set forth in subclause (iii) above to the attention of Jeff N. Theiler, or at such other address as the Parent Guarantor shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing. Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received. SECTION 19. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each Obligor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit either Obligor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.


 
-57- SECTION 20. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of either Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Obligor or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by either Obligor or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 9.1 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by its Notes), (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Issuer (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes, this Agreement or any Subsidiary Guarantee. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by either Obligor in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with such Obligor embodying this Section 20. In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Obligors or their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or


 
-58- otherwise) which is different from this Section 20, this Section 20 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Obligors, this Section 20 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking. SECTION 21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER. Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Obligors, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Obligors of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement. SECTION 22. PARENT GUARANTEE. Section 22.1. Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the “Parent Guarantee”), as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each holder and its successors and permitted assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of and Make- Whole Amount and interest on (including, without limitation, interest, whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer) the Notes and all other amounts owed or to be owing by the Issuer which becomes due under the terms and provisions of the Financing Agreements, now or hereafter existing under the Financing Agreements whether for principal, Make-Whole Amount, interest (including, without limitation, interest, whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer), (b) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Issuer under the terms of the Notes and this Agreement and (c) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any holder of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and such expenses, if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any right or privilege under the Notes or this Agreement or in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities under the Parent Guarantee or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith and in each and every case irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforcement of any of the Notes or this Agreement or any of the terms thereof or of any other like circumstance or circumstances (all such obligations


 
-59- being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by each holder in enforcing the Parent Guarantee. Notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such action against the Issuer, if for any reason whatsoever the Issuer shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) pay such amounts as and when the same shall become due and (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) payable, whether or not such failure or inability shall constitute an “Event of Default”, the Parent Guarantor will forthwith (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) pay or cause to be paid such amounts to the holders, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the place specified in Section 14, or pay such Guaranteed Obligations or cause such Guaranteed Obligations to be paid, (in the case of the payment of Guaranteed Obligations) together with interest (in the amounts and to the extent required under such Notes) on any amount due and owing. Section 22.2. Parent Guarantor’s Obligations Unconditional. (a) The Parent Guarantee shall constitute a Guarantee of payment and not of collection, and the Parent Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary, and that the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to require, before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of the Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guarantee or requiring payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, or at any time thereafter, that any holder: (a) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal judgment against the Issuer or any other Person that may be liable for or with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation; (b) make any other effort to obtain payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligation from the Issuer or any other Person that may be liable for or with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation, except for the making of the demands, when appropriate, described in Section 22.1; (c) foreclose against, or seek to realize upon security now or hereafter existing for such Guaranteed Obligations; (d) except to the extent set forth in Section 22.1, exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which such holder is or may be entitled in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or any security or other guaranty therefor; or (e) assert or file any claim against the assets of the Issuer or any other Person liable for any Guaranteed Obligation. The Parent Guarantor agrees that the Parent Guarantee shall be continuing, and that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid and performed in accordance with their terms and the terms of the Parent Guarantee, and are the primary, absolute and unconditional obligations of the Parent Guarantor, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, legality, regularity or enforceability or lack thereof of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating to the Guaranteed Obligations or the Parent Guarantee, or the existence of any indemnities with respect to the existence of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, irrespective of any other circumstance


 
-60- whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations), it being the intent of this Section 22.2 that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be irrevocable, primary, absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations). (b) The Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives notice of acceptance of and reliance upon the guaranty in the Parent Guarantee, diligence, presentment, demand of payment or performance, protest and all other notices (except as otherwise provided for in Section 22.1) whatsoever, any requirement that the holders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Issuer or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, or any other agreement, regarding any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, subject solely to the requirement of making demands under Section 22.1, the occurrence of any event or other circumstance that might otherwise vary the risk of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor or constitute a defense (legal or equitable) available to, or a discharge of, or a counterclaim or right of set-off by, the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations), shall not affect the liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder. (c) The obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guarantee are not subject to any counterclaim, set-off, deduction, diminution, abatement, recoupment, suspension, deferment or defense based upon any claim the Parent Guarantor or any other Person may have against the Issuer, any holder or any other Person, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstances or condition whatsoever (whether or not the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including: i. any renewal, extension, modification, increase, decrease, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument executed in connection therewith, or any contract or understanding with the Issuer, the holders, or any of them, or any other Person, pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations; ii. any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by any holder to the Issuer or any other Person liable on the Guaranteed Obligations, or the failure of any holder to assert any claim or demand or to exercise any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under the provisions of the Financing Agreements or otherwise; or any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, the Financing Agreements, any guarantee or any other agreement;


 
-61- iii. the insolvency, bankruptcy arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution or lack of power of the Issuer or any other Person at any time liable for the payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or any dissolution of the Issuer or any other such Person, or any change, restructuring or termination of the structure or existence of the Issuer or any other such Person, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of the Issuer or any other such Person, or any change in the shareholders, partners, or members of the Issuer or any other such Person; or any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; iv. the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including the fact that the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, exceed the amount permitted by law, the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part is ultra vires, the officers or representatives executing the documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, the Guaranteed Obligations violate applicable usury laws, the Issuer or any other Person has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from the Issuer or any other Person, the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible, legally impossible or unenforceable, or the documents or instruments pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic; v. any full or partial release of the liability of the Issuer on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, of any co-guarantors, or of any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by the Parent Guarantor that the Parent Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other Person, and the Parent Guarantor has not been induced to enter into the Parent Guarantee on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that any parties other than the Issuer will be liable to perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that the holders will look to other parties to perform the Guaranteed Obligations; vi. the taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;


 
-62- vii. any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including negligent, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; viii. the failure of any holder or any other Person to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security; ix. the fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by the Parent Guarantor that the Parent Guarantor is not entering into the Parent Guarantee in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectability or value of any of the collateral; x. any payment by the Issuer to any holder being held to constitute a preference under any bankruptcy law or fraudulent conveyance law, or for any reason any holder being required to refund such payment or pay such amount to the Issuer or someone else; xi. any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral therefor, whether or not such action or omission prejudices the Parent Guarantor or increases the likelihood that the Parent Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it being the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of the Parent Guarantor that it shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action or omission whatsoever, whether or not contemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, except for the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash; xii. the fact that all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations cease to exist by operation of law, including by way of a discharge, limitation or tolling thereof under applicable bankruptcy laws; xiii. any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance by the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person of any obligations of any kind or character whatsoever under the Financing Agreements or any other agreement;


 
-63- xiv. any merger or consolidation of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor or any other Person into or with any other Person or any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any of the assets of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person to any other Person, any change in the ownership of any shares or partnership interests of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, or any change in the relationship between the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor or any termination of any such relationship; xv. in respect of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), civil commotion, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failure of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any federal or state regulatory body or agency, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or any other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person and whether or not of the kind hereinbefore specified; or xvi. any other occurrence, circumstance, or event whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against the Parent Guarantor (other than the full and indefeasible due payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations); provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of the Parent Guarantee that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment and performance of all obligations of the Issuer under the Financing Agreements in accordance with their respective terms as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Financing Agreements and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor under the Financing Agreements (including this Parent Guarantee), the Parent Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default. All waivers herein contained shall be without prejudice to the holders at their respective options to proceed against the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or other Person, whether by separate action or by joinder. (d) The Parent Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that any holder or holders from time to time, with or without any further notice to or assent from the Parent Guarantor may, without in any manner affecting the liability of the Parent


 
-64- Guarantor under the Parent Guarantee, and upon such terms and conditions as any such holder or holders may deem advisable: i. extend in whole or in part (by renewal or otherwise), modify, change, compromise, release or extend the duration of the time for the performance or payment of any debt, liability or obligation of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt, liability or obligations of the Issuer under the Financing Agreements, or waive any Default or Event of Default with respect thereto, or waive, modify, amend or change any provision of any other agreement or waive the Parent Guarantee; or ii. sell, release, surrender, modify, impair, exchange or substitute any and all property, of any nature and from whomsoever received, held by, or for the benefit of, any such holder as direct or indirect security for the payment or performance of any debt, liability or obligation of the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or of any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt, liability or obligation of the Issuer under the Financing Agreements; or iii. settle, adjust or compromise any claim of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor against any other Person secondarily or otherwise liable for any debt, liability or obligation of the Issuer under the Financing Agreements. The Parent Guarantor hereby ratifies and confirms any such extension, renewal, change, sale, release, waiver, surrender, exchange, modification, amendment, impairment, substitution, settlement, adjustment or compromise and that the same shall be binding upon it, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which it might or could have by reason thereof, it being understood that the Parent Guarantor shall at all times be bound by the Parent Guarantee and remain liable hereunder. (e) All rights of any holder may be transferred or assigned at any time in accordance with this Agreement and shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of such Note in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the consent of or notice to the Parent Guarantor. (f) No holder shall be under any obligation: (i) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor under or in respect of the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer and the Parent Guarantor under the Financing Agreements or (ii) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives. Section 22.3. Full Recourse Obligations. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor set forth in this Section 22 constitute the full recourse obligations of the Parent Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its assets and properties.


 
-65- Section 22.4. Waiver. The Parent Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 22.2; (b) notice to the Parent Guarantor of the incurrence of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, notice to the Parent Guarantor of any breach or default by the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other notice that may be required, by statute, rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of any holder against the Parent Guarantor; (c) presentment to the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor or of payment from the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor with respect to any Note or other Guaranteed Obligation or protest for nonpayment or dishonor; (d) any right to the enforcement, assertion, exercise or exhaustion by any holder of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in any Note, the other Financing Agreements or otherwise; (e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any holder; (f) any requirement to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under the Notes or the other Financing Agreements; (g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition of any right, title to or interest in any Note or other Guaranteed Obligation by any holder, assignee or participant thereof, or in the other Financing Agreements; (h) any release of the Parent Guarantor from its obligations hereunder resulting from any loss by it of its rights of subrogation hereunder; and (i) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against the Parent Guarantor. Section 22.5. Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, or any application by any holder of any security or of any credits or claims, the Parent Guarantor will not exercise any rights of any holder or of the Parent Guarantor against the Issuer to recover the amount of any payment made by the Parent Guarantor to any holder hereunder by way of any claim, remedy or subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnity, participation or otherwise arising by contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise, and the Parent Guarantor shall not exercise any right of recourse to or any claim against assets or property of the Issuer, in each case unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full. Until such time (but not thereafter), the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right to exercise any claim, right or remedy which the Parent Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Issuer or any other Person that


 
-66- arises under the Notes, the other Financing Agreements or from the performance by the Parent Guarantor of the Guaranty hereunder including any claim, remedy or right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of any holder against the Issuer or the Parent Guarantor, or any security that any holder now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor by the Issuer after payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, and all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations shall thereafter be reinstated in whole or in part and any holder is required to repay any sums received by any of them in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Parent Guarantee shall be automatically reinstated and such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders and shall forthwith be paid to the holders to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The provisions of this Section 22.5 shall survive the termination of the Parent Guarantee, and any satisfaction and discharge of the Issuer by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal, state or provincial law.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other benefits to each Subsidiary Guarantor, and of the purchase of the Issuer’s Notes by the Holders, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, each Subsidiary Guarantor makes this Guarantee as follows: SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS. Any capitalized terms not otherwise herein defined shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Note Purchase Agreement.


 
EXHIBIT 2.3 (to Note Purchase Agreement) SECTION 2. GUARANTY. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally with each other Subsidiary Guarantor and the Parent Guarantor, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to each Holder and its successors and permitted assigns (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of the principal of and Make-Whole Amount and interest on (including, without limitation, interest, whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer) the Notes and all other amounts owed or to be owing by the Issuer which becomes due under the terms and provisions of the Financing Agreements, now or hereafter existing under the Financing Agreements whether for principal, Make-Whole Amount or interest (including, without limitation, interest, whether or not an allowable claim, accruing after the date of filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding relating to the Issuer), (b) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Issuer under the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement and (c) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and such expenses, if any, as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any right or privilege under the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement or in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities under this Guarantee or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith and in each and every case irrespective of the validity, regularity, or enforcement of any of the Notes or the Note Purchase Agreement or any of the terms thereof or of any other like circumstance or circumstances (all such obligations being the “Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by each Holder in enforcing this Guarantee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of recovery against each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guarantee is limited to the extent it is judicially determined with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor that entering into this Guarantee would violate Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law, in which case such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be liable under this Guarantee only for amounts aggregating up to the largest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any state law. Notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such action against the Issuer, if for any reason whatsoever the Issuer shall fail or be unable to duly, punctually and fully (in the case of the payment of Obligations) pay such amounts as and when the same shall become due and (in the case of the payment of Obligations) payable, whether or not such failure or inability shall constitute an “Event of Default”, each Subsidiary Guarantor will forthwith (in the case of the payment of Obligations) pay or cause to be paid such amounts to the holders, in lawful money of the United States of America, at the place specified in Section 14 of the Note Purchase Agreement, or pay such Obligations or cause such Obligations to be paid, (in the case of the payment of Obligations) together with interest (in the amounts and to the extent required under such Notes) on any amount due and owing.

SECTION 4. FULL RECOURSE OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor set forth herein constitute the full recourse obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor enforceable against it to the full extent of all its assets and properties.


 
EXHIBIT 2.3 (to Note Purchase Agreement) SECTION 5. WAIVER. Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) notice of any of the matters referred to in Section 3, (b) notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor of the incurrence of any of the Obligations, notice to such Subsidiary Guarantor or the Obligors of any breach or default by the Issuer with respect to any of the Obligations or any other notice that may be required, by statute, rule of law or otherwise, to preserve any rights of the Holders against such Subsidiary Guarantor, (c) presentment to, notice of acceleration of, notice of intent to accelerate or demand of payment from the Obligors or the Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to any amount due under any Financing Agreement or protest for nonpayment or dishonor, (d) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by any of the Holders of any right, power, privilege or remedy conferred in the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Financing Agreement or otherwise, (e) any requirement of diligence on the part of any of the Holders, (f) any requirement to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate the damages resulting from any default under any Financing Agreement, (g) any notice of any sale, transfer or other disposition by any of the Holders of any right, title to or interest in the Note Purchase Agreement or in any other Financing Agreement and (h) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against such Subsidiary Guarantor. SECTION 6. SUBROGATION, CONTRIBUTION, REIMBURSEMENT OR INDEMNITY; SUBORDINATION. Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any rights which may have arisen in connection with this Guarantee to be subrogated to any of the rights (whether contractual, under the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, including Section 509 thereof, under common law or otherwise) of any of the Holders against the Issuer or against any collateral security or guaranty or right of offset held by the Holders for the payment of the Obligations. Until one year and one day after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any contractual, common law, statutory or other rights of reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or indemnity (or any similar right) from or against the Issuer which may have arisen in connection with this Guarantee. If any Subsidiary Guarantor becomes the holder of any indebtedness payable by the Issuer, such Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates all indebtedness owing to it from the Issuer to all indebtedness of the Issuer to the Holders, and agrees that, during the continuance of any Event of Default, it shall not accept any payment on the same until payment in full of the Obligations and shall in no circumstance whatsoever attempt to set-off or reduce any obligations hereunder because of such indebtedness. So long as the Obligations remain outstanding, if any amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Issuer to any Subsidiary Guarantor on account of any of the rights waived in this paragraph, such amount shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor in trust, segregated from other funds of such Subsidiary Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Subsidiary Guarantor, be turned over to the Holders (duly endorsed by such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Holders, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Holders may determine. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the term of this Guarantee and the payment in full of the Obligations. SECTION 7. EFFECT OF BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS, ETC. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time


 
EXHIBIT 2.3 (to Note Purchase Agreement) payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to any of the Holders pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Financing Agreement is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by such Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of either Obligor, any of their Subsidiaries or any other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to either Obligor, any of their Subsidiaries or any other Person or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and one or more Holders shall have attempted to accelerate the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes pursuant to and in compliance with Section 12.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement, or an event shall have occurred that pursuant to Section 12.1 of the Note Purchase Agreement purportedly results in the automatic acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes, and in either such case such acceleration shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against either Obligor, any of their Subsidiaries or any other Person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guarantee and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes and all other Obligations shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if any Holder had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement or other applicable Financing Agreement, and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall forthwith pay such principal amount, Make- Whole Amount, if any, and interest thereon and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.

(h) Such Subsidiary Guarantor’s payment obligations under this Guarantee constitute direct and general obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor and rank in right of payment at least pari passu, without preference or priority, with all other unsecured and unsubordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor, except for such Indebtedness preferred by operation of bankruptcy laws or other similar laws of general application.
