(d) For purposes of this Section 9.3, the term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 9.3.

“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, 1.0% over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the fifth 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 having a maturity equal to the Remaining Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series 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 U.S. Treasury securities having a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date.

In the case of each determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury ▇▇▇▇ quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the Final Maturity Date of such Note.

“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, subject to Section 9.1 hereof, if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to the Final Maturity Date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 9.3.

“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 9.3.

9.4. Allocation of Partial Prepayments of Notes.

In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes under this Section 9, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding (excluding any Notes at the time owned by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer) in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof, with adjustments, to the extent practicable, to compensate for any prior prepayments not made exactly in such proportion.

9.5. Notice of Certain Prepayments of Notes.

In the case of each prepayment under Section 9.2 and 9.3, the Issuer shall give written notice thereof to each holder of Notes not less than 5 nor more than 30 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall set forth: (a) the date fixed for prepayment; (b) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be prepaid on such date; and (c) the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by such holder to be prepaid on such date and the amount of accrued interest and the Applicable Premium, if any, or Make-Whole Amount, if any, to be paid to such holder on such date (together with the calculation of such Applicable Premium or Make-Whole Amount which calculation shall be satisfactory to each holder of the Notes).

9.6. Maturity; Accrued Interest; Surrender, etc. of Notes.

In the case of each prepayment of all or any part of any Note, the principal amount to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the premium, if any, due thereon. Any Note prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Issuer at its principal place of business promptly following prepayment and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

9.7. Purchase of Notes.

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of their Affiliates to, directly or indirectly, purchase or otherwise acquire, or offer to purchase or otherwise acquire, any outstanding Notes except by way of payment or prepayment in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Agreement or in a transaction pursuant to which each holder of Notes is given the opportunity to sell or otherwise transfer a proportionate amount of such holder’s Notes on the same terms and conditions.

9.8. Payment on Non-Business Days.

If any amount hereunder or under the Notes shall become due on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment shall be made on the first Business Day following the day on which such payment shall have so fallen due, without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such succeeding Business Day.

10.

BOARD VISITATION RIGHTS.

So long as the Notes are outstanding the Required Holders shall have the right to appoint one representative who shall: (a) receive written notice of all meetings (both regular and special) of the boards of directors (or similar body) of the Issuer and the Subsidiaries (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) and each committee of any such board (such notice to be delivered or mailed as specified in Section 21 at the same time as notice is given to the members of any such board and/or committee but in no event later than seven days prior to the date of such meeting); (b) be entitled to attend (or, in the case of telephone meetings, monitor) all such meetings; (c) receive all notices, information and reports which are furnished by the Issuer or any such Subsidiary to the members of any such board and/or committee (in their capacity as a member of such board or committee) at the same time and in the same manner as the same is furnished to such members; (d) be entitled to participate in all discussions conducted at such meetings and (e) receive as soon as available (but in any event prior to the next succeeding board meeting) copies of the minutes of all such meetings.

The Issuer will furnish such representative with a copy of each such written consent not later than five days after it has been signed by its last signatory. Such representative shall not constitute a member of any such board and/or committee and shall not be entitled to vote on any matters presented at meetings of any such board and/or committee or to consent to any matter as to which the consent of any such board and/or committee shall have been requested.

Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $5,000,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $5,000,000. The Warrants may be transferred in accordance with the terms thereof. In connection with the foregoing, the Issuer shall take such other actions reasonably requested by a holder of a Security in order to effect such any applicable transfer, registration or exchange. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the original Purchasers shall transfer Notes to any Person or Persons (other than an affiliate of such original Purchaser) such that after such transfer the original Purchasers own less that 51% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, such transfer shall require the Issuer’s written consent which consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

16.

REPLACEMENT OF SECURITIES.

Upon receipt by the Issuer of reasonably satisfactory evidence of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Security and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) of reasonably satisfactory indemnity, and (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender of such Security, the Issuer, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu of such Security a new Security of like tenor and, in the case of any new Note, dated so as not to result in any loss of interest. A Purchaser’s unsecured agreement to indemnify and/or affidavit and that of any other institutional holder shall constitute satisfactory indemnity and/or satisfactory evidence of loss, theft or destruction for the purpose of this Section 16.

17.

AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

(a) Any term of this Agreement and, unless explicitly provided otherwise therein, of any of the other Operative Documents may, with the consent of the Issuer, be amended, or compliance therewith may be waived, in writing only, by the Required Holders, provided that (i) without the consent of the holders of all of the Notes at the time outstanding, no such amendment or waiver shall (A) change the amount of the principal of or any rate of interest on or premium payable with respect to any of the Notes or change the payment terms of any of the Notes, or, except as provided in the Subordination Agreement, subordinate the obligation of the Issuer to pay any amount due on the Notes to any other obligation, or (B) change the percentage of holders of Notes required to approve any such amendment, effectuate any such waiver or accelerate payment of the Notes; and (ii) no such amendment or waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. Executed or true and correct copies of any amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 17 shall be delivered by the Issuer to each holder of Notes forthwith (but in any event not later than five days) following the effective date thereof.

(b) The Issuer will not, directly or indirectly, request or negotiate for, or offer or pay any remuneration or grant any security as an inducement for, any proposed amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents unless each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the kind and amount of Notes then owned by it) shall be informed thereof by the Issuer and, if such holder is entitled to the benefit of any such provision proposed to be amended or waived, shall be afforded the opportunity of considering the same, shall be supplied by the Issuer with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect thereto and shall be offered and paid such remuneration and granted such security on the same terms.

(c) In determining whether the requisite holders of Notes have given any authorization, consent or waiver under this Section 17, any Notes owned by the Issuer or any of its Affiliates shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding.

18.

METHOD OF PAYMENT OF SECURITIES.

Irrespective of any provision hereof or of the other Operative Documents to the contrary, so long as any Purchaser (or its nominee) or any other institutional holder shall hold any Security, the Issuer will make all payments thereon to such Purchaser or such other institutional holder by the method and at the address for such purpose specified in Schedule I attached hereto or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser or such institutional holder may designate in writing, without requiring any presentation or surrender of such Security, except that if any Security shall be paid, prepaid and/or repurchased in full, such Security shall be surrendered to the Issuer, promptly following such payment, prepayment or repurchase and cancelled and, in the case of a Note, if transferred all prior payments of principal and interest will be noted thereon. All such payments shall be made by the Issuer, without any right of setoff or counterclaim in respect thereof.

19.

EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents shall be consummated, the Issuer will pay or cause to be paid (or reimbursed, as the case may be) and will defend, indemnify and hold each Purchaser (and each other holder of any of the Securities) and each of such Purchaser’s (and such other holder’s) directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and Affiliates (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless in respect of all costs, losses, expenses (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel) and damages (collectively, “Indemnified Costs”) incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and/or enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents (including, without limitation, so-called work-outs and/or restructurings and all amendments, waivers and consents hereunder and thereunder, whether or not effected) and/or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby or which may otherwise be related in any way to this Agreement or any other Operative Documents or such transactions or such Indemnitee’s relationship to the Issuer or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective properties and assets, including, without limitation, any and all Indemnified Costs related in any way to the requirements of any Environmental Laws (as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time) or to any environmental investigation, assessment, site monitoring, containment, clean up, remediation, removal, restoration, reporting and sampling, whether or not consented to, or requested or approved by, Indemnitee, and whether or not such Indemnified Cost is attributable to an event or condition originating from any properties or assets of the Issuer or any of the Subsidiaries or any other properties previously or hereafter owned, leased, occupied or operated by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not have any obligation to an Indemnitee under this Section 19 with respect to any Indemnified Cost which is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen directly as a result of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee.

20.

TAXES.

The Issuer will pay all taxes and fees (including interest and penalties), including, without limitation, all recording and filing fees, issuance and documentary stamp and similar taxes, which may be payable in respect of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Operative Documents.

21.

COMMUNICATIONS.

All communications provided for herein and, unless explicitly provided otherwise therein, in any of the other Operative Documents shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such communication by messenger or a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), (b) or by email, if available, (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (d) by messenger. Any such communication must be sent (i) if to the Issuer at:

▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

Attention: ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

Telecopy: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇

or at such other address (or telecopy number) as may be furnished in writing by the Issuer to each holder of any Security and (ii) if to a Purchaser, at its address for such purpose set forth in Schedule I attached hereto and if to any other holder of any Security, at the address of such holder (with a copy to the Persons so designated) as it appears on the applicable register maintained pursuant to Section 15, or at such other address as may be furnished in writing by a Purchaser or by any other holder to the Issuer. Communications under this Section 21 shall be deemed given only when actually received.

22.

SURVIVAL OFAGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, ETC.

All agreements, representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Operative Documents shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Purchasers and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Operative Documents, the issue, sale and delivery of the Securities and payment therefor and any disposition of the Securities by any Purchaser, whether or not any investigation at any time is made by such Purchaser or on its behalf. All indemnification provisions, including, without limitation, those contained in Sections 19 and 20 shall survive the date upon which none of the Securities shall be outstanding and the termination of this Agreement and each of the other Operative Documents.

23.

SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; RIGHTS OF OTHER HOLDERS.

This Agreement and, unless explicitly provided otherwise therein, each of the other Operative Documents shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Issuer and each Purchaser, successors to the Issuer and each Purchaser’s successors and assigns, and, in addition, shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each holder from time to time of any Security who, upon acceptance thereof, shall, without further action, be entitled to enforce the applicable provisions and enjoy the applicable benefits hereof and thereof. The Issuer may not assign any of their respective rights or obligations hereunder or under and of the other Operative Documents without the written consent of all of the holders of the Securities then outstanding.

24.

PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT.

Each Purchaser represents and warrants (i) that it has been furnished with all information that it has requested for the purpose of evaluating such Purchaser’s proposed acquisition of the Securities to be issued to such Purchaser pursuant hereto and (ii) that such Purchaser will acquire such Securities for its own account for investment and not for distribution in any manner that would violate applicable securities laws, but without prejudice to such Purchaser’s rights to dispose of such Securities or a portion thereof to a transferee or transferees, in accordance with such laws if at some future time such Purchaser deems it advisable to do so. The acquisition of such Securities by each Purchaser at the Closing shall constitute such Purchaser’s confirmation of the foregoing representations and warranties. Each Purchaser understands that such Securities are being sold to such Purchaser in a transaction which is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and that, in making the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.20, the Issuer are relying, to the extent applicable, upon such Purchaser’s representations and warranties contained herein.

25.

GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

This Agreement and, unless explicitly provided otherwise therein, each of the other Operative Documents, including the validity hereof and thereof and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder, and all amendments and supplements hereof and thereof and all waivers and consents hereunder and thereunder, shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the domestic substantive laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive laws of any other jurisdiction. The Issuer, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, hereby consents to service of process, and to be sued, in the State of New York and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, as well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from such courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and expressly waives any and all objections it may have as to venue in any such courts. The Issuer further agrees that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any of such courts shall be properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction if served personally or by certified mail to it at its address referred to in Section 21 or as otherwise provided under the laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer agrees that nothing contained in this Section 25 shall preclude the institution of any such suit, action or other proceeding in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. THE ISSUER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST IT IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

26.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 26, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Issuer or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature, 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 the Issuer or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7 that are otherwise publicly available. Each Purchaser will, and will cause any representative appointed pursuant to Section 10 to, 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 on a need to know basis to (i) its directors, officers, trustees, partners, employees, agents, attorneys, professional consultants, portfolio management services, funding sources investors, pledges, rating agencies and affiliates, (ii) its financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 26, (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, subject to a reasonable confidentiality arrangement regarding any non-public confidential information thereby disclosed, (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, or (vii) 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 and this Agreement. In the event that a holder of a Note or Warrant receives non-public information regarding the Issuer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation Sections 8 or 11 hereunder, such holder acknowledges that federal and applicable state securities laws may require it to abstain from public sales or purchases in the Issuer’s securities, including the Notes and Warrants, until such time as such information is disclosed to the public by the Issuer. 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 26 as though it were a party to this Agreement.

27.

MISCELLANEOUS.

The headings in this Agreement and in each of the other Operative Documents are for purposes of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof or thereof. This Agreement (together with the other Operative Documents) embodies the entire agreement and understanding between each of the Purchasers and the Issuer and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Each covenant contained herein and in each of the other Operative Documents shall be construed (absent an express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein and therein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. If any provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Operative Documents refers to any action taken or to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable, whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person. In case any provision in this Agreement or any of the other Operative Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement and, unless explicitly provided otherwise therein, each of the other Operative Documents, may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto or thereto, as the case may be, on separate counterparts but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
