SECTION 3.14 No Material Misstatements. No information, report, financial statement, certificate, exhibit or schedule furnished by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to any Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of any Financing Document or included therein or delivered pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, the Private Placement Memorandum (as supplemented by the Supplemental Private Placement Memorandum), taken as a whole, contained or contains any material misstatement of fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were or are made, not misleading, as of the date such information is dated or certified; provided that, to the extent any such information, report, financial statement, certificate, exhibit or schedule was based upon or constitutes a forecast or projection, each Issuer represents only that it acted in good faith and utilized reasonable assumptions and due care in the preparation of such information, report, financial statement, certificate, exhibit or schedule.

As of the Second Closing Date, there are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries pending or, to the knowledge of any Issuer, threatened. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.15, the hours worked by and payments made to employees of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other applicable federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters in any manner which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or for which any claim may be made against Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of Holdings or such Subsidiary, as appropriate, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is bound.
 
SECTION 3.16 Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Second Closing Transactions to occur on the Second Closing Date and immediately after giving effect to the application of the proceeds from the issuance of Second Closing Purchased Securities on such date, (a) the fair value of the properties of Holdings (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will exceed its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair saleable value of the property of Holdings (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of its existing debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; and (c) Holdings (individually and on a consolidated basis with its Subsidiaries) will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted following the Second Closing Date (in each case consistent with the past practices of the Subsidiaries).
 
SECTION 3.17 Employee Benefit Plans. Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries and their ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code (relating to employee benefit plans) and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder.

The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $50,000 the fair market value of the property of all such underfunded Plans. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries or their ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(iii) No Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Issuer, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Property or other assets of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries;

(v) Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries have made available to the Purchasers all material records and files in the possession, custody or control of, or otherwise reasonably available to, Holdings and each of its Subsidiaries concerning compliance with or liability under Environmental Law, including those concerning the actual or suspected existence of Hazardous Material at Real Property or facilities currently or formerly owned, operated, leased or used by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

ARTICLE VIII
 
GUARANTEE
 
SECTION 8.01 The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at the Stated Maturity Date, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under Title 11 of the United States Code) on the Notes held by each Noteholder and all other Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Issuer under any Financing Document in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Company or other Guarantor(s) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at the Stated Maturity Date, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
 
SECTION 8.02 Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 8.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor (except for payment in full). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:
 
(i) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
 
(ii) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;
 
(iii) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Financing Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
 
-81-

 
 
(iv) any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Noteholder or Agent as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or
 
(v) the release of any other Guarantor pursuant to Section 8.09.
 
The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Company under this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Company and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Company or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchasers, and their respective successors and assigns, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding.
 
SECTION 8.03 Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article VIII shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Company or other Issuer in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.
 
SECTION 8.04 Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 8.01, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Company or any other Guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Issuer permitted pursuant to Section 7.01(d) shall be subordinated to such Issuer’s Obligations in the manner set forth in the Intercompany Note evidencing such Indebtedness.
 
SECTION 8.05 Remedies. The Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Noteholders, the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Article IX (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Article IX) for purposes of Section 8.01, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Company and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Company) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 8.01.
 
-82-

 
 
SECTION 8.06 Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Article VIII constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Noteholder, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor as to the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.
 
SECTION 8.07 Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Article VIII is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
 
SECTION 8.08 General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 8.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 8.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any Issuer or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 8.10) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
 
SECTION 8.09 Release of Guarantors. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Financing Documents, all of the Equity Interests or property of any Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Subsidiary Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, such Transferred Subsidiary Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 14.03 hereof) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document and, in the case of a sale of all or substantially all of the Equity Interests of the Transferred Subsidiary Guarantor, the pledge of such Equity Interests to the Agent pursuant to the Security Documents shall be automatically released, and the Agent shall take such actions as are necessary to effect each release described in this Section 8.09 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents, so long as the Company shall have provided the Agent such certifications or documents as the Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with this Agreement.
 
SECTION 8.10 Right of Contribution. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 8.04. The provisions of this Section 8.10 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Agent and the Noteholders, and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall remain liable to the Agent and the Noteholders for the full amount guaranteed by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.

-85-

 
 
(n) Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries shall be prohibited or otherwise restrained from conducting the business theretofore conducted by it in any manner that has or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect by virtue of any determination, ruling, decision, decree or order of any court or Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction;
 
then, and in every such event (other than an event with respect to any Issuer described in paragraph (g) or (h) above), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Required Holders may, by written notice to the Company, declare the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon the principal of the Notes so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and any unpaid accrued fees, and all other Obligations of the Company accrued hereunder and under any other Financing Document, shall become forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Issuers, anything contained herein or in any other Financing Document to the contrary notwithstanding; and in any event, with respect to any Issuer described in paragraph (g) or (h) above, the principal of the Notes then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and any and all fees and all other Obligations of the Company accrued hereunder, shall automatically become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Issuers, anything contained herein or in any other Financing Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

If an Event of Default occurs by reason of any willful action (or inaction) taken (or not taken) by or on behalf of the Company, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, with the intention of avoiding payment of the premium that the Company would have had to pay if the Company then had elected to optionally redeem the Notes pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Notes (the “Optional Redemption Premium”), then, upon acceleration of the Notes as provided for in the preceding paragraph, the amount of the Optional Redemption Premium applicable to an optional redemption of the Notes occurring on the date of the applicable Event of Default shall also become and be immediately due and payable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, anything in this Agreement or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the Required Holders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
 
(a) the Company has paid a sum sufficient to pay: (i) all overdue interest on all Notes; (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration (including any Notes required to have been purchased pursuant to an offer to purchase that the Company is required to make hereunder) and any interest thereon at the rate borne by the Notes; and (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate provided therefor in the Notes; and

(b) all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal amount of Notes and interest thereon which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 9.02.
 
SECTION 9.02 Waiver of Past Defaults. The Required Holders may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default: (i) in the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note (including any Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an offer to purchase that the Company is required to make hereunder); or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 14.02 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Note affected.
 
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Agreement; provided, however, that no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
SECTION 9.03 Application of Proceeds.

In order to exercise such option regarding a Guarantee, the Issuers shall provide the Noteholders with written notice of their desire to terminate such Guarantee prior to the delivery of the opinions of counsel referred to in Section 13.02.
 
SECTION 13.02 Conditions to Legal Defeasance. The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 13.01 to the outstanding Notes:
 
(a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Noteholders, cash in dollars, U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants (such opinion to be addressed and delivered to the Trustee, and upon which the Trustee shall have no liability in relying), to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes outstanding on the Stated Maturity Date or on the applicable optional redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;
 
(b) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Noteholders and the Trustee an opinion of counsel in the United States confirming that (a) the Issuers have received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the First Closing Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel shall confirm that, the Noteholders will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
 
-98-

 
 
(c) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) or, insofar as Events of Default from bankruptcy or insolvency events are concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 181st day after the date of deposit;
 
(d) such Legal Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than the Financing Documents) to which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
 
(e) the Issuers must have delivered to the Noteholders and the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that, assuming no intervening bankruptcy of any Issuer or any Guarantor between the date of deposit and the 181st day following the deposit, and assuming that no Noteholder is an “insider” of an Issuer under applicable Bankruptcy Law, after the 181st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of applicable Bankruptcy Law;
 
(f) the Company must deliver to the Noteholders and the Trustee a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Noteholders over the other creditors of the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Issuers or others; and
 
(g) the Issuers must deliver to the Noteholders and the Trustee a certificate of a Responsible Officer and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the Legal Defeasance have been complied with.
 
SECTION 13.03 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations To Be Held in Trust. All money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 13.02 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Agreement, to the payment directly to the Noteholders, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
 
The Issuers shall (on a joint and several basis) pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.02 or the principal, premium, if any, and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Noteholders.
 
Anything in this Article XIII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon a request of Holdings or the Company any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.02 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance.
 
SECTION 13.04 Reinstatement. If the Trustee is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 13.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, each Issuer’s obligations under the Financing Documents shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XIII until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes.

(a) No failure or delay by any Holder in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Financing Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of each Holder hereunder and under the other Financing Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.

-101-

 
 
(b) This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof and thereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of Holdings, the Company and the Required Holders (provided that any amendment or waiver which relates to (x) the Purchased Preferred Stock shall require the written consent of Holdings and the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Purchased Preferred Stock and/or shares of Common Stock into which they are converted (with Purchased Preferred Stock counted on an as-converted basis) or (y) the Warrants and/or Warrant Shares shall require the written consent of Holdings and the holders of a majority of the outstanding Warrants and/or Warrant Shares (with Warrants counted on an as-exercised basis); provided, however, that no such amendment or waiver may, without the prior written consent of each Noteholder affected thereby (or each Purchaser if prior to the Second Closing Date) (i) subject any Noteholder to any additional obligation, (ii) reduce the principal of or change the rate of interest on any Note, (iii) postpone the date fixed for any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Note, (iv) change the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes the Noteholders of which shall be required to consent or take any other action under this Section 14.02(b) or any other provision of this Agreement, (v) amend or waive the provisions of (A) Section 6.15 following the occurrence of a Change in Control or (B) Sections 6.16 and 7.06 following the maturity of the Company’s obligation to make an Excess Proceeds Offer and in the case of each of clauses (A) and (B), any of the definitions to the extent used in such Sections, (vi) reduce the premium payable upon any redemption or repurchase of the Notes or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed or repurchased, (vii) impair the right of any Noteholder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Noteholder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefore or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Noteholder’s Notes, (viii) adversely affect the ranking of the Notes, (ix) change the currency in which amounts due under the Notes are payable, (x) release any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Notes other than in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or (xi) release all or a substantial portion of the Collateral from the Liens of the Security Documents or alter the relative priorities of the Obligations entitled to the Liens of the Security Documents.

As used herein, the term this “Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
 
SECTION 14.03 Expenses; Indemnity.
 
(a) Expenses. The Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to pay, promptly upon demand:
 
(i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers and the Holders, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for the Purchasers and the Holders in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Financing Documents and relating to any actual or proposed amendment, supplement or waiver of any of the Financing Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated); provided that the Issuers shall not be liable for such costs and expenses incurred prior to the First Closing Date to the extent such pre-First Closing Date expenses exceed $300,000; and, provided further, that the Issuers shall not be liable for such costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Second Closing Transactions prior to the Second Closing Date to the extent such costs and expenses exceed $250,000;
 
-102-

 
 
(ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Purchasers and the Holders, including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of Advisors for the Purchasers and the Holders, in connection with the enforcement or protection of their rights under the Financing Documents, including their rights under this Section 14.03(a), or in connection with the Purchased Securities issued hereunder, including all such costs and expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of the Purchased Securities; and
 
(iii) all documentary and similar taxes and charges in respect of the Financing Documents.
 
For purposes of this Section 14.03(a), “Advisors” shall mean legal counsel (including local counsel), auditors, accountants, consultants, appraisers or other advisors; provided that in the case of clause (i), the engagement of any Advisors other than legal counsel (including local counsel) or the engagement of more than one firm of legal counsel (other than local counsel) shall be subject to approval by the Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
(b) Indemnification. The Issuers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Purchasers and Holders, each of their Affiliates, and each of their respective partners, controlling persons, directors, officers, trustees, employees and agents (each such person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and to hold each Indemnitee harmless from, all and any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, judgments, suits and related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including reasonable counsel fees, charges and disbursements, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in any way connected with, or as a result of (i) the execution, delivery, performance, administration or enforcement of the Financing Documents, (ii) any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Purchased Securities, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Materials, on, at, under or from any property owned, leased or operated by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries at any time, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, penalties, judgments, suits or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted (i) from a breach by such Indemnitee of its obligations under the Financing Documents, or (ii) primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or its agents or representatives.
 
(c) Reimbursement by Holders. To the extent that any Issuer for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 14.03 to be paid by it to the Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each Holder severally agrees to pay to the Agent (or any such sub-agent), such Holder’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability, penalty, judgment, suit or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Agent (or any such sub-agent), in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Holders under this paragraph (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 14.05. For purposes hereof, a Holder’s “pro rata share” shall be determined based upon its share of the sum of the total Purchased Securities at the time.
 
-103-

 
 
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, no Issuer shall assert, and each Issuer hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Purchased Security or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in paragraph (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Financing Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
 
(e) Survival. The provisions of this Section 14.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the expiration of the term of this Agreement, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Notes, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Financing Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or Noteholder. All amounts due under this Section 14.03 shall be payable on written demand therefor accompanied by reasonable documentation with respect to any reimbursement, indemnification or other amount requested.
 
SECTION 14.04 Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including, without limitation, each subsequent Holder of a Purchased Security) except that no Issuer may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Holder (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Issuer without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the other Indemnitees) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
 
SECTION 14.05 Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Issuers in the Financing Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents and the issuance of any Purchased Securities, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Purchasers or Holders may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any purchase of Purchased Securities is made hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Purchased Security or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any other Financing Document is outstanding and unpaid. The provisions of Section 14.03 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Purchased Securities, the payment of the Obligations or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
 
SECTION 14.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Financing Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Agent and each of the Purchasers and when each of the Agent and the Purchasers shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, to the extent provided herein, their respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
 
-104-

 
 
SECTION 14.07 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
SECTION 14.08 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.
 
(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.
 
(b) Each Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Financing Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Financing Document shall affect any right that the Purchasers or any Holder may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document against any Issuer or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
 
(c) Each Issuer hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document in any court referred to in Section 14.08(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
 
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to any Financing Document, in the manner provided for notices (other than telecopy and email) in Section 14.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Financing Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
 
SECTION 14.09 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Issuer hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any other Financing Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.
 
-105-

 
 
SECTION 14.10 Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
 
SECTION 14.11 Confidentiality. Each Purchaser and Holder agrees to maintain the confidentiality of, and to not use, the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other Advisors (it being understood that the persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential pursuant to the terms hereof), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by applicable Requirements of Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Financing Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 14.11, to (i) any transferee of, or any prospective transferee of, any Purchased Securities, (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Issuer or any Purchased Security or (iii) any rating agency for the purpose of obtaining a credit rating applicable to any Purchased Security or the Issuers, (g) with the consent of the Company, (h) to the extent such Information (x) is publicly available at the time of disclosure or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to such Purchaser or Holder on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such source is not known by such disclosing party to be bound by confidentiality obligations to the Company or (i) to a person that is an investor or prospective investor in such Holder or an affiliated investment vehicle that agrees that its access to information regarding Holdings and its Subsidiaries and the Purchased Securities is solely for purposes of evaluating an investment in such Holder or affiliated investment vehicle. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” shall mean all information received from Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries relating to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries or their business, that is clearly identified or reasonably identifiable at the time of delivery as confidential, other than any such information that is available to the Purchasers or any Holder on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries. Any person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such person has exercised the same degree of reasonable care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such person would reasonably accord to its own confidential information.
 
SECTION 14.12 Obligations Absolute. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirement of Law, all obligations of the Issuers hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:
 
(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any Issuer;
 
-106-

 
 
(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto against any Issuer (other than based upon a failure of consideration with respect thereto);
 
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Financing Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, as permitted by the terms thereof;
 
(d) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any other Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from any guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations;
 
(e) any exercise or non-exercise, or any waiver, of any right, remedy, power or privilege under or in respect hereof or any Financing Document; or
 
(f) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Issuers, other than as provided in any Financing Document.
 
SECTION 14.13 Certain Rights and Obligations Among Noteholders. If, at any time or times, a Noteholder shall receive a prepayment on its Note (whether by voluntary payment, setoff or otherwise) which is greater than its Pro Rata Share, it shall notify the other Noteholders of the amount and date of such prepayment. If all other Noteholders shall not have received their Pro Rata Share of such prepayment, the Noteholder giving such notice shall remit to the other Noteholders such amount as is necessary to distribute such prepayment or proceeds, as applicable, among all Noteholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The amount of any such remittance shall be credited to the Obligations of the Noteholder to whom it is remitted, and shall not be credited to the Obligations of the remitting Noteholder. The provisions of this Section 14.13 are solely for the benefit of the Noteholders, and neither the Issuers nor any other Person other than a Noteholder shall have any rights with respect to or be entitled to enforce this Section.
 
SECTION 14.14 Absence of Personal Liability. Each of the Purchasers, each of the Issuers and the Agent hereby expressly acknowledge and agree that with respect to each Officers’ Certificate, Compliance Certificate and each other certificate required to be delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement or any other Financing Document, the person signing such certificate shall be deemed in so acting to be acting solely in a representative capacity on behalf of the applicable Issuer or other entity, and no person signing such certificate shall have any personal civil liability with respect thereto or as a consequence thereof, except for actions by such person involving fraud or willful misconduct.
 
SECTION 14.15 Acknowledgment. Each Issuer hereby expressly (i) acknowledges the terms of this Agreement, (ii) ratifies and affirms its obligations under the other Financing Documents executed by such Issuer and (iii) acknowledges its continued liability under all such Financing Documents and agrees such Financing Documents remain in full force and effect, including with respect to its obligations thereunder as modified by this Agreement.
