(1) if the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary:

(a) has Incurred any Indebtedness since the beginning of such period that remains outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes an Incurrence of Indebtedness, then Consolidated EBITDA and Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such Indebtedness as if such Indebtedness had been Incurred on the first day of such period and the discharge of any other Indebtedness repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period; or

(b) has repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged any Indebtedness since the beginning of the period that is no longer outstanding on such date of determination or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes a discharge of Indebtedness (in each case, other than Indebtedness Incurred under any revolving Debt Facility unless such Indebtedness has been permanently repaid and the related commitment terminated and not replaced), then Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be calculated after giving effect on a pro forma basis to such discharge of such Indebtedness, including with the proceeds of such new Indebtedness, as if such discharge had occurred on the first day of such period;

(2) if since the beginning of such period the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary has made any Asset Disposition or disposed of or discontinued (as defined under GAAP) any company, division, operating unit, segment, business, group of related assets or line of business or if the transaction giving rise to the need to calculate the Consolidated Coverage Ratio includes such a transaction, then:

(a) the Consolidated EBITDA for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if positive) directly attributable to the assets that are the subject of such disposition or discontinuation for such period or increased by an amount equal to the Consolidated EBITDA (if negative) directly attributable thereto for such period; and

(b) Consolidated Interest Expense for such period will be reduced by an amount equal to the Consolidated Interest Expense directly attributable to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary repaid, repurchased, redeemed, retired, defeased or otherwise discharged (to the extent the related commitment is permanently reduced) with respect to the Company and its continuing

ARTICLE 7

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except as disclosed (i) on the disclosure schedules attached hereto (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section of the disclosure schedules shall also be deemed disclosure with respect to any other Section of this Agreement to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent to a reader unfamiliar with the Company or its business, other than with regard to Section 7.09) or (ii) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed on March 15, 2013 and the other Company Reports filed following March 15, 2013 and prior to the date of this Agreement (excluding any disclosures set forth in any risk factor sections in any Company Reports and any “forward-looking statements” disclaimers contained in any Company Reports), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:

Section 7.01 Organization and Standing.

(a) The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Washington. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of its assets or properties or conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing is not reasonably likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below). As used in this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” means any effect, circumstance, occurrence or change that is materially adverse to the assets or financial condition of the Company Subsidiaries (as defined below), taken as a whole, or the Company’s ability to timely consummate the Transactions; provided, however, that Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include, and any such effects, circumstances, occurrences or changes shall not be taken into account if caused by or resulted from: (A) general economic, regulatory or political conditions or developments (including changes in prevailing interest rates, credit availability and liquidity or currency exchange rates), (B) any changes in the securities markets generally (including price levels or trading volumes in the United States or any foreign securities markets) or in the credit markets, any downgrades in the credit markets, or adverse credit events resulting in deterioration in the credit markets generally, (C) any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war, or the occurrence of any acts of terrorism, (D) conditions generally affecting the insurance or reinsurance industries, (E) any change in the market price or trading volume of the Company Common Stock (but not any change, event or circumstance that is underlying such change to the extent that such change, event or circumstance would otherwise constitute a Material Adverse Effect), (F) the performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company, (G) acts of God (including earthquakes, storms, fires, floods and natural catastrophes), (H) changes (or proposed changes) after the date hereof in any Law, GAAP or other accounting requirements (or any authoritative interpretation of each of the foregoing), (I) any legal claims or other proceedings made by any of the Company’s stockholders or debtholders arising out of or related to the Transaction Documents or the Transaction, or (J) any breach of this Agreement by Purchaser; except in the case of each of clause (A), (B), (C), (D), (G), and (H), other than effects, circumstances, occurrences or changes that arise after the date of this Agreement but before the Initial Issue Date to the extent (and only to such extent) that such effects, circumstances, occurrences or changes have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole relative to other companies in the reinsurance industry.

(b) Each Company Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing, as applicable, under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or incorporation. The Company has delivered to Purchaser a true and complete list as of the Closing Date of each Company Subsidiary that conducts insurance operations (“Company Insurance Subsidiaries”), identifying the states or jurisdictions where such Company Insurance Subsidiaries are domiciled or “commercially domiciled” for insurance regulatory purposes. As used in this Article 7, “Company Subsidiary” means any person of which at least a majority of the securities or ownership interests having by their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other persons performing similar functions is directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Company or by one or more of the Company Subsidiaries; and “person” means an individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust, unincorporated organization, other entity or group (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act).

Every replacement Note is a contractual obligation of the Company and shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.07, in case any mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Section 9.08 Outstanding Notes.

(a) The Notes outstanding at any time are all the Notes issued by the Company except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, and those described in this Section 9.08 as not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 9.09, a Note does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note.

(b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 9.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Company receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by a protected purchaser, as such term is defined in Section 8-303 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York.

(c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 11.01, it ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue from and after the date of such payment.

(d) If a Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on the maturity date, any redemption date or any date of purchase pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, money sufficient to pay Notes payable or to be redeemed or purchased on that date and such Paying Agent is not prohibited from paying such money to the Holders on that date pursuant to Article 15 and Article 17, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest.

Section 9.09 Treasury Notes.

In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes beneficially owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company (other than KKR), shall be considered as though not outstanding.

Section 9.10 Cancellation.

The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Company any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Company and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and shall dispose of canceled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes it has redeemed, paid or canceled. The Company shall not execute Notes in place of canceled Notes other than pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

-52-

Section 9.11 CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use CUSIP or ISIN numbers, or Private Placement numbers issued by S&P CUSIP Service Bureau (if then generally in use). The Company shall as promptly as practicable notify the Holders in writing of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or Private Placement numbers. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain CUSIP, ISIN or Private Placement numbers for the Notes, if requested by KKR.

ARTICLE 10

REDEMPTION

Section 10.01 Selection of Notes to Be Redeemed.

If fewer than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Company shall select the Notes to be redeemed on a pro rata basis. The Company shall make the selection from outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption, excluding notes held in treasury. Notes and portions of Notes selected will be in amounts of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1 in excess of $2,000; provided that no Notes of $2,000 or less shall be redeemed in part. Provisions of this Agreement that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption.

A new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of any Note redeemed in part will be issued in the name of the Holder thereof upon cancellation of the original Note. On and after the Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, interest shall cease to accrue on Notes or portions thereof called for redemption unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event.

Section 10.02 Election to Redeem; Notice of Redemption.

Notices of redemption shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 10 but not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be redeemed.

All notices of redemption shall state:

(1) the Redemption Date,

(2) the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest; provided that in connection with a redemption that includes an Applicable Premium, the notice shall set forth the manner of calculation of the redemption price,

(3) if less than all outstanding Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of a partial redemption, the principal amounts) of the particular Notes to be redeemed,

(4) in case any Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice which relates to such Note shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Note, the Holder will receive, without charge, a new Note or Notes of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

-53-

(5) that, subject to any conditions precedent, on the Redemption Date the redemption price (and accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date) will become due and payable upon each such Note, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed, and that, subject to payment of the redemption price, interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date,

(6) the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest, if any,

(7) the name and address of the Paying Agent (if other than the Company),

(8) that Notes called for redemption must be surrendered to the Company or the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price, and

(9) any conditions precedent to such redemption, and that the Company may revoke the notice of redemption if it determines that any condition precedent will not be satisfied on or prior to the Redemption Date.

Section 10.03 Effect of Notice of Redemption.

Any notice of redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including consummation of a financing or other transaction. The Company may revoke a notice of redemption on or prior to the Redemption Date if it determines that any condition precedent to such redemption will not be satisfied on or prior to the Redemption Date. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such redemption and the Company’s right to revoke a notice of redemption, once notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 10.02, Notes called for redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the redemption price. The notice, if mailed or delivered by electronic transmission in a manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such notice or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Subject to Section 10.04, on and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of Notes called for redemption.

Section 10.04 Deposit of Redemption or Purchase Price.

Prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 9.04) an amount of money sufficient to pay the redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all the Notes which are to be redeemed on that date.

Section 10.05 Notes Redeemed or Purchased in Part.

Any Note which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article) shall be surrendered at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 11.02 (with, if the Company so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and deliver to the Holder of such Note without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Note so surrendered.

-54-

Section 10.06 Optional Redemption.

The Company may redeem the Notes at the prices set forth in the Notes. The Notes shall not be redeemable at the option of the Company other than as provided therein. The Company’s right to effect an optional redemption of the Notes is subject to the terms of Article 15 and Article 17 of this Agreement.

Section 10.07 Mandatory Redemption.

The Company will not be required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes, other than Mandatory Principal Redemptions in connection with AHYDO Notes, if applicable.

Section 10.08 Offers to Repurchase by Application of Excess Proceeds.

(a) In the event that, pursuant to Section 11.16, the Company is required to commence an Asset Disposition Offer, the Company will follow the procedures specified below.

(b) The Asset Disposition Offer will remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement, except to the extent that a longer period is required by applicable law (the “Asset Disposition Offer Period”).

Payment for any Notes so purchased will be made in the same manner as interest payments on the Notes are made.

(c) Upon the commencement of an Asset Disposition Offer, the Company shall mail a notice to each of the Holders. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Holders to tender Notes pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer. The Asset Disposition Offer shall be made to all Holders and, if required, all holders of Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Asset Disposition Offer, shall state:

(1) that an Asset Disposition Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 10.08 and Section 11.16 and the expiration time of the Asset Disposition Offer Period;

(2) the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, the purchase price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest, and the Asset Disposition Purchase Date;

(3) that Notes must be tendered in integral multiples of $1 (subject to clause (8) below), and any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and will continue to accrue interest;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their election if the Company or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, receives at the address specified in the notice, not later than the expiration of the Asset Disposition Offer Period, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder, the principal amount of the Notes the Holder tendered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Note purchased;

(7) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness surrendered by the holders thereof exceeds the Asset Disposition Offer Amount, then the Notes, such Pari Passu Indebtedness and such Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis based on the aggregate accreted value or principal amount, as applicable, of the Notes, such Pari Passu Indebtedness and such Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness tendered;

(8) that Holders whose Notes were purchased only in part will be issued new Notes equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered (the unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1 in excess thereof); and

(9) the other procedures, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 10.08 that a Holder must follow.

(d) On or before the Asset Disposition Purchase Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful, accept for payment, on a pro rata basis to the extent necessary or as otherwise provided in Section 11.16(c), the Asset Disposition Offer Amount of Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness or portions thereof validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Asset Disposition Offer, or, if less than the Asset Disposition Offer Amount has been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn, all Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness so tendered, in the case of the Notes, in whole number multiples of $1; provided that if, following repurchase of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000.

(e) The Paying Agent or the Company, as the case may be, will promptly, but in no event later than five Business Days after termination of the Asset Disposition Offer Period, mail or deliver to each tendering Holder or holder or lender of Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, an amount equal to the purchase price of the Notes, the Pari Passu Indebtedness or the Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness so validly tendered and not properly withdrawn by such holder or lender, as the case may be, and accepted by the Company for purchase, and the Company will promptly issue a new Note, in a principal amount equal to any unpurchased portion of the Note surrendered; provided that each such new Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1 in excess thereof. In addition, the Company will take any and all other actions required by the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness or the Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable. Any Note not so accepted will be promptly mailed or delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof. The Company will publicly announce the results of the Asset Disposition Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Asset Disposition Purchase Date.

To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of any conflict.

Other than as specifically provided in this Section 10.08 or Section 11.16, any purchase pursuant to this Section 10.08 shall be made pursuant to the applicable provisions of Section 10.01 through Section 10.05.

(11) the purchase, redemption, retirement and other acquisition of any Permitted Warrant, or any payment made in connection with the exercise or termination of any Permitted Warrant;

(12) other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount, when taken together with all other Restricted Payments made pursuant to this clause (12) of this Section 11.08(b) not to exceed 1.5% of Consolidated Assets;

(c) The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the Fair Market Value on the date of such Restricted Payment of the assets or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to such Restricted Payment; provided that such determination of Fair Market Value shall be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an Independent Financial Advisor if such Fair Market Value is estimated in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company or an authorized committee thereof to exceed 4.0% of Consolidated Assets. The amount of any Restricted Payment paid in cash shall be its face amount.

(d) To the extent any cash or any other property is paid or distributed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries upon the conversion or exchange of any Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock of the Company or upon any other acquisition or retirement of any Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for an amount based on the value of such Capital Stock, (1) any amount of such cash or property that exceeds the principal amount of the Indebtedness that is converted, exchanged, acquired or retired and any accrued interest paid thereon (and only such excess amount) shall be deemed to be a Restricted Payment described in clause (2) of Section 11.08(a) and (2) the amount of such cash or property up to an amount equal to the principal amount of the Indebtedness that is converted, exchanged, acquired or retired shall be deemed to be Restricted Payment described in clause (3) of Section 11.08(a) if such Indebtedness is a Subordinated Obligation or Guarantor Subordinated Obligation. If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries repurchases any Indebtedness of the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries that is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock of the Company (whether or not then convertible or exchangeable) in the open market at a price in excess of the principal amount of such Indebtedness and any accrued interest thereon, such excess amount (and only such excess amount) shall be deemed to be a Restricted Payment described in clause (2) of Section 11.08(a).

In the event that (i) the terms of this Section 11.08 are no longer prohibited by the Financing Agreement or (ii) the Company is no longer a party to the Financing Agreement, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries shall become subject to the provisions of this Section 11.08. So long as any provisions of this Section 11.08 are not in full force and effect pursuant to this Section 11.08(e), the Company shall not modify the provisions of Sections 6.02(e) or 6.02(f) of the Financing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

(f) If the Company makes a Restricted Payment which, at the time of the making of such Restricted Payment, in the good faith determination of the Company, would be permitted under the requirements of this Agreement, such Restricted Payment shall be deemed to have been made in compliance with this Agreement notwithstanding any subsequent adjustment made in good faith to the Company’s financial statements affecting its Consolidated Net Income.

-64-

(g) If any Person in which a Restricted Investment is made subsequently becomes a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement, all such Restricted Investments previously made in such Person shall no longer be counted as Restricted Payments for purposes of calculating the amount of Restricted Payments pursuant to Section 11.08(a)(C).

Section 11.09 Limitation on Indebtedness.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness); provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors may Incur Indebtedness if on the date thereof and after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis:

(1) (i) the Asset Coverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00 if the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged solely in Financial Services Businesses; or (ii) the Consolidated Coverage Ratio for the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries is at least 2.00 to 1.00 if the Company or any of its Subsidiaries are engaged in lines of business other than Financial Services Businesses; and

(2) no Default or Event of Default will have occurred or be continuing or would occur as a consequence of Incurring the Indebtedness or entering into the transactions relating to such Incurrence.

(1) Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor Incurred under a Debt Facility and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with undrawn trade letters of credit and reimbursement obligations relating to trade letters of credit satisfied within 30 days being excluded, and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof) in an aggregate amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $125.0 million, in each case less the aggregate principal amount of all principal repayments with the proceeds from Asset Dispositions made pursuant to clause (1) of Section 11.16(b) in satisfaction of the requirements of such covenant;

(2) Indebtedness represented by the Notes (including any Note Guarantee);

(3) Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries (A) in existence on the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (4), (5), (6), (8), (10), (11) and (12) of this Section 11.09(b)), (B) pursuant to the First Lien Notes and First Lien Notes Indenture, and (C) pursuant to the Second Lien Notes and Second Lien Notes Indenture;

(4) Guarantees by (A) the Company or a Guarantor of Indebtedness permitted to be Incurred by the Company or a Guarantor in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being Guaranteed is (x) Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, then the related Guarantee shall rank equally in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee, as the case may be, or (y) a Subordinated Obligation or a Guarantor Subordinated Obligation, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantee, as the case may be, and (B) Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries of Indebtedness Incurred by Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement;

-65-

(5) Indebtedness of the Company owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however,

(A) if the Company is the obligor on Indebtedness owing to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all obligations with respect to the Notes;

(B) if a Guarantor is the obligor on Indebtedness owing to a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary, such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor; and

(C) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such Indebtedness being beneficially held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed, in each case under this clause (5)(C), to constitute an Incurrence of such Indebtedness by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that is not permitted under this clause (5);

(6) Preferred Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary held by the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, (A) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Capital Stock or any other event that results in any such Preferred Stock being beneficially held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company; and (B) any sale or other transfer of such Preferred Stock to a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed in each case under this clause (6) to constitute an Incurrence of such Preferred Stock by such Restricted Subsidiary that is not permitted under this clause (6);

(7) Indebtedness of Persons Incurred and outstanding on the date on which such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by, or merged into, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than Indebtedness Incurred (A) to provide all or any portion of the funds utilized to consummate the transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Company or (B) otherwise in connection with, or in contemplation of, such acquisition); provided, however, that at the time such Person is acquired, the Company would have been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 11.09(a) on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Indebtedness pursuant to this clause (7);

(8) Indebtedness under Hedging Obligations that are Incurred in the ordinary course of business (and not for speculative purposes);

(9) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations) of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary Incurred to finance the purchase, lease, construction or improvement of any property, plant or equipment used or to be used in the business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary through the direct purchase of such property, plant or equipment, and any Indebtedness that serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (9) in an aggregate outstanding principal amount that, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (9) and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (A) $20.0 million and (B) 2.5% of Consolidated Assets at any time outstanding;

-66-

(10) Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or its Restricted Subsidiaries in respect of workers’ compensation claims, health, disability or other employee benefits or property, casualty or liability insurance, self-insurance obligations, performance, bid, surety and similar bonds and completion Guarantees (not for borrowed money) provided in the ordinary course of business;

(11) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, contribution, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out, deferred compensation, non-compete or similar obligations, in each case, Incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets of the Company or any business, assets or Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness Incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that:

(A) in the case of a disposition, the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the Fair Market Value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition; and

(B) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (11));

(12) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument (except in the case of daylight overdrafts) drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within five Business Days of Incurrence;

(13) the Incurrence by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of Refinancing Indebtedness that serves to refund or refinance any Indebtedness Incurred as permitted under Section 11.09(a) and clauses (2), (3), (4), (7), (8), (11) (to the extent owed to the same obligee), and this clause (13) of this Section 11.09(b);

(14) Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary consisting of obligations to pay insurance premiums incurred in the ordinary course of business in an amount not to exceed the annual premiums in respect of such insurance premiums at any one time outstanding; and

(15) in addition to the items referred to in clauses (1) through (15) of this Section 11.09(b) above, Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in an aggregate outstanding principal amount which, when taken together with the principal amount of all other Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to this clause (15) and then outstanding, will not exceed the greater of (A) $20.0 million and (B) 2.5% of Consolidated Assets at any time outstanding.

(c) The Company will not Incur any Indebtedness under Section 11.09(b) if the proceeds thereof are used to refinance any Subordinated Obligations of the Company unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations. No Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness under Section 11.09(b) if the proceeds thereof are used to refinance any Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Guarantor unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee to at least the same extent as such Guarantor Subordinated Obligations. The Company

-67-

will not Incur any Indebtedness under Section 11.09(b) if the proceeds thereof are used to refinance any Pari Passu Indebtedness unless such Indebtedness is either Pari Passu Indebtedness or Subordinated Obligations. No Guarantor will Incur any Indebtedness under Section 11.09(b) if the proceeds thereof are used to refinance any Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness of such Guarantor unless such Refinancing Indebtedness is either Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations. No Non-Guarantor Subsidiary may Incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with, and the outstanding principal amount of any particular Indebtedness Incurred pursuant to and in compliance with, this Section 11.09:

(1) in the event that Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in Section 11.09, the Company, in its sole discretion, will classify such item of Indebtedness on the date of Incurrence and may later reclassify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with Section 11.09 (a) or (b) and will be entitled to divide the amount and type of such Indebtedness among more than one clause of Section 11.09(a) or (b); provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Closing Date under the Financing Agreement, and all Indebtedness (or the portion thereof) Incurred under the Financing Agreement, shall be deemed Incurred under clause (1) of Section 11.09(b) and not Section 11.09(a) or clause (3) of Section 11.09(b) and may not later be reclassified, provided further that if, after the Closing Date, the Financing Agreement relates to more than $125,000,000, any amounts in excess thereof may be Incurred in any manner permitted under this Section 11.09;

(2) if obligations in respect of letters of credit are Incurred pursuant to a Debt Facility and relate to other Indebtedness, then such letters of credit shall be treated as Incurred pursuant to clause (1) of Section 11.09(b) and such other Indebtedness shall not be included; and

(3) except as provided in clause (2) of this Section 11.09(d), Guarantees of, or obligations in respect of letters of credit relating to, Indebtedness that is otherwise included in the determination of a particular amount of Indebtedness shall not be included.

(e) The accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of principal, accreted value or liquidation preference, the amortization of original issue discount or debt discount, the payment of interest on Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness and the payment of dividends on Preferred Stock or Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares thereof, the obligation to pay a premium in respect of Indebtedness or Capital Stock arising in connection with the issuance of a notice of redemption or the making of a mandatory change of control offer or asset sale offer for such Indebtedness or Capital Stock, increases in the amount of Indebtedness outstanding solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values, and unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations, in each case, will be deemed not to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 11.09.

(f) In addition, the Company will not permit any of its Unrestricted Subsidiaries to Incur any Indebtedness or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock, other than Non-Recourse Debt. If at any time an Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred by a Restricted Subsidiary as of such date (and, if such Indebtedness is not permitted to be Incurred as of such date under this Section 11.09, the Company shall be in Default of this Section 11.09).

(g) For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the Incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. dollar-equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was Incurred, in the case of term Indebtedness, or first committed, in

-68-

the case of revolving credit Indebtedness; provided that if such Indebtedness is Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such Refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may Incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Indebtedness Incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if Incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such Refinancing Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

(h) If the Company Incurs Indebtedness under Section 11.09(a)(i) and subsequently the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries becomes engaged in a line of business other than Financial Services Businesses, such Indebtedness shall nonetheless be deemed to be permitted under Section 11.09(a). If the Company Incurs Indebtedness under Section 11.09(a)(ii) and subsequently the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries become engaged solely in Financial Services Businesses, such Indebtedness shall nonetheless be deemed to be permitted under Section 11.09(a).

Section 11.10 Limitation on Liens.

(a) Subject to Section 11.10(b), the Company will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, Incur or suffer to exist any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries), whether owned on the Closing Date or acquired after that date, which Lien is securing any Pari Passu Indebtedness, Subordinated Obligations, Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, unless contemporaneously with the Incurrence of such Liens:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Obligations or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens; or

(2) in all other cases, the Notes and related Note Guarantees are equally and ratably secured by a Lien on such property or assets or are secured by a Lien on such property or assets that is senior in priority to such Liens.

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders pursuant to this Section 11.10 shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the related Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 11.10 shall have no force and effect with respect to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries so long as, and to the extent, prohibited by the terms of Section 6.02(m) of the Financing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date. In the event that (i) the terms of this Section 11.10 are no longer prohibited by the Financing Agreement or (ii) the Company is no longer a party to the Financing Agreement, the Company shall become subject to all of the provisions of this Section 11.10. So long as any provisions of this Section 11.10 are not in full force and effect pursuant to this Section 11.10(b), the Company shall not modify the provisions of Section 6.02(a) of the Financing Agreement without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

-69-

Section 11.11 Future Guarantors.

(a) The Company will cause each Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees, on the Closing Date or any time thereafter, the Obligations under the Financing Agreement or any other Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor (other than the First Lien Notes and the Second Lien Notes) to execute and deliver this Agreement or a joinder to this Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit G, pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary will irrevocably and unconditionally Guarantee, on a joint and several basis, the full and prompt payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the Notes on a senior subordinated basis and all other Obligations under this Agreement. Any such joinder shall be executed and delivered by such Restricted Subsidiary not more than 30 days after it has Guaranteed such other Indebtedness.

(b) Each Note Guarantee shall be released in accordance with the provisions of Section 16.06.

Section 11.12 Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions From Restricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create or otherwise cause or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or pay any Indebtedness or other obligations owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that (i) the priority of any Preferred Stock in receiving dividends or liquidating distributions prior to dividends or liquidating distributions being paid on other Capital Stock shall be deemed not to be a restriction on the ability to make distributions on Capital Stock and (ii) the subordination of Indebtedness or other obligations shall be deemed not to be a restriction on the ability to pay such Indebtedness or other obligations);

(2) make any loans or advances to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that the subordination of loans or advances made to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary to other Indebtedness Incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary shall be deemed not to be a restriction on the ability to make loans or advances); or

(3) sell, lease or transfer any of its property or assets to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (it being understood that such transfers shall not include any type of transfer described in clause (1) or (2) of this Section 11.12(a)).

(b) Section 11.12(a) will not prohibit encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(1) contractual encumbrances or restrictions pursuant to the Financing Agreement, the First Lien Notes Indenture, the Second Lien Notes Indenture, the Financing Agreement Security Agreement, the Runoff Security Agreement and all other agreements and other documentation relating to or governing the collection, disposition or administration of WMMRC-Related Assets, the Convertible Preferred Stock and, in each case, all related documentation, and other agreements or instruments in effect at or entered into on the Closing Date;

(2) this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Guarantees;

(3) any agreement or other instrument of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in existence at the time of such acquisition (but not created in

-70-

contemplation thereof), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person and its Subsidiaries, or the property or assets of the Person and its Subsidiaries, so acquired (including after-acquired property);

(4) any amendment, restatement, modification, renewal, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing of an agreement referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.12(b) or this clause (4); provided, however, that such amendments, restatements, modifications, renewals, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith determination of the Senior Management of the Company, not materially restrictive, taken as a whole, than the encumbrances and restrictions contained the agreements and instruments referred to in clauses (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 11.12(b) on the Closing Date or the date such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was merged with or into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, whichever is applicable;

(5) in the case of clause (3) of Section 11.12(a), Liens permitted to be Incurred under Section 11.10 that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the assets securing such Indebtedness;

(6) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business and Capitalized Lease Obligations permitted under this Agreement, in each case, that impose encumbrances or restrictions of the nature described in clause (3) of Section 11.12(a) on the property so acquired;

(7) contracts for the sale or other disposition of assets, including customary restrictions with respect to a Subsidiary of the Company pursuant to an agreement that has been entered into for the sale or disposition of all or a portion of the Capital Stock or assets of such Subsidiary;

(8) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(9) any customary provisions in leases, subleases or licenses and other agreements entered into by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business;

(10) encumbrances or restrictions arising or existing by reason of applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order, or any other Regulatory Requirement;

(11) customary supermajority voting provisions and other customary provisions with respect to the disposition or distribution of assets, each contained in corporate charters, bylaws, stockholders’ agreements, limited liability company agreements, partnership agreements, and other similar agreements, in each case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Wholly Owned Subsidiary;

(12) any agreement, instrument or Capital Stock of a Qualified Securitization Entity, or with respect to any Receivables, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or any assets, as applicable, other than such Qualified Securitization Entity or such Receivables;

(13) customary lock-up agreements entered into in connection with a proposed sale or issuance of Capital Stock;

-71-

(14) any agreement or instrument that prohibits the payment or making of dividends or other distributions other than on a pro rata basis;

(15) customary provisions restricting dispositions of real property interests set forth in any reciprocal easement agreement; and

(16) other Indebtedness or Preferred Stock permitted to be Incurred pursuant to Section 11.09 that, in the good faith determination of the Board of Directors of the Company are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those applicable to the Company in this Agreement or the Financing Agreement on the Closing Date (which results in encumbrances or restrictions at a Restricted Subsidiary level comparable to those applicable at the Company level under this Agreement or the Financing Agreement).

(c) In each case set forth in Section 11.12(b) above, notwithstanding any stated limitation on the assets or property that may be subject to such encumbrance or restriction, an encumbrance or restriction on a specified asset or property or group or type of assets or property may also apply to all improvements, repairs, additions, attachments and accessions thereto, assets and property affixed or appurtenant thereto, parts, replacements and substitutions therefor, and all products and proceeds thereof, including dividends, distributions, interest and increases in respect thereof.

Section 11.13 Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company may designate after the Closing Date any Subsidiary (including any newly acquired or newly formed Subsidiary) as an “Unrestricted Subsidiary” under this Agreement (a “Designation”) only if:

(1) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing after giving effect to such Designation;

(2) the Subsidiary to be so designated and its Subsidiaries do not at the time of Designation own any Capital Stock or Indebtedness of, or own or hold any Lien with respect to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company;

(3) all the Indebtedness of such Subsidiary and its Subsidiaries shall, at the date of Designation, and will at all times thereafter, consist of Non-Recourse Debt;

(4) such Subsidiary is a Person with respect to which neither the Company nor any of its Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation:

(A) to subscribe for additional Capital Stock of such Subsidiary; or

(B) to maintain or preserve such Subsidiary’s financial condition or to cause such Subsidiary to achieve any specified levels of operating results;

(5) on the date such Subsidiary is Designated an Unrestricted Subsidiary, such Subsidiary is not a party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with terms substantially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might have been obtained from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Company; and

-72-

(d) A Revocation will be deemed to be an Incurrence of Indebtedness by a Restricted Subsidiary of any outstanding Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary. If, at any time, any Unrestricted Subsidiary would fail to meet the foregoing requirements as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, it shall thereafter cease to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary for purposes of this Agreement, and any Indebtedness of such Subsidiary shall be deemed to be Incurred as of such date.

(6) any agreement between any Person and an Affiliate of such Person existing at the time such Person is acquired by or merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary; provided that such agreement was not entered into in contemplation of such acquisition or merger, and any amendment or other change thereto, so long as any such amendment or other change is not more disadvantageous to the Holders in any material respect in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company or Senior Management, when taken as a whole, than the applicable agreement as in effect on the date of such acquisition or merger;

Within 30 days following any Change of Control, unless the Company has exercised its right to redeem all of the Notes pursuant to Section 10.06, the Company will mail a notice of such Change of Control Offer to each Holder, stating:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 11.15, the expiration time for such Change of Control Offer (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed) and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for purchase by the Company at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase;

(2) the purchase date (which shall be no later than five Business Days after the date such Change of Control Offer expires) (the “Change of Control Payment Date”);

(3) that Notes must be tendered in integral multiples of $1 and any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest (subject to clause (4) below);

-75-

(4) that, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, any Note accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on and after the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” attached to such Notes completed, to the Paying Agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders shall be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Company to purchase such Notes; provided that the Paying Agent receives at the address specified in the notice, not later than the expiration time of such Change of Control Offer, a telegram, facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes and its election to have such Notes purchased;

(8) the other procedures, as determined by the Company, consistent with this Section 11.15 that a Holder must follow.

If (A) the notice is mailed in a manner herein provided and (B) any Holder fails to receive such notice or a Holder receives such notice but it is defective, such Holder’s failure to receive such notice or such defect shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes as to all other Holders that properly received such notice without defect.

(e) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer.

Section 11.16 Asset Dispositions.

(a) The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any Asset Disposition, unless:

(1) the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at least equal to the Fair Market Value (such Fair Market Value to be determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Disposition) of the assets subject to such Asset Disposition; and

(2) at least 75% of the consideration from such Asset Disposition received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

For the purposes of clause (2) of this Section 11.16(a) and for no other purpose, the following will be deemed to be cash:

(A) any liabilities (as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet) of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or the Note Guarantees) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and from which the Company and all Restricted Subsidiaries have been validly released by all creditors in writing;

(B) any securities, notes or other obligations received by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary from the transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash (to the extent of the cash received) within 90 days following the closing of such Asset Disposition;

(C) any Additional Assets acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Disposition; and

(D) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Disposition having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (D),

-77-

not to exceed 2.0% of Consolidated Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.

(b) Within 365 days from the later of the date of such Asset Disposition or the receipt of such Net Available Cash, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Available Cash from such Asset Disposition may be applied by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, as follows:

(1) to permanently reduce (and permanently reduce commitments with respect thereto): (i) obligations under the Financing Agreement and (ii) Senior Indebtedness of the Company or Indebtedness of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than any Disqualified Stock, Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Subordinated Obligations), in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company;

(2) to permanently reduce obligations under Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, in each case other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or an Affiliate of the Company; provided that the Company shall equally and ratably reduce obligations under the Notes by optional redemption, through open market purchases at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, or by making an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.08 for an Asset Disposition Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes at 100% of the principal amount thereof, in each case plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, on the Notes that are purchased or redeemed;

(3) to invest in Additional Assets; or

(4) any combination of the foregoing;

provided that pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash in accordance with clause (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this Section 11.16(b), the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may temporarily reduce Indebtedness (including under a revolving Debt Facility) or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner not prohibited by this Agreement; provided, further, that in the case of clause (3) of this Section 11.16(b), a binding commitment to invest in Additional Assets shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Available Cash from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Available Cash will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within the later of 365 days from the consummation of the Asset Sale and 180 days from the date of the Acceptable Commitment, and in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Available Cash is applied in connection therewith, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination and such Net Available Cash is actually applied in such manner within 180 days from the date of the Second Commitment, it being understood that if a Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Available Cash is applied, then such Net Available Cash shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

(c) Any Net Available Cash from Asset Dispositions that is not applied or invested as provided in Section 11.16(b) will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” On the 366^th day after an Asset Disposition, if the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million, the Company

-78-

will be required to make an offer (an “Asset Disposition Offer”) to all Holders and, to the extent required by the terms of any outstanding Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, to all holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Notes and any such Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.08 or the agreements governing the Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness, as applicable, in the case of the Notes in integral multiples of $1; provided that if, following repurchase of a portion of a Note, the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase would be less than $2,000, then the portion of such Note so repurchased shall be reduced so that the remaining principal amount of such Note outstanding immediately after such repurchase is $2,000. The Company shall commence an Asset Disposition Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds by mailing the notice required pursuant to Section 10.08.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Agreement. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall select the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness or Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate accreted value or principal amount of tendered Notes, Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness (provided that the selection of such Pari Passu Indebtedness shall be made pursuant to the terms of such Pari Passu Indebtedness and Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness). Upon completion of such Asset Disposition Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(d) The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to an Asset Disposition Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Agreement, or would be violated by compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations, as applicable, in lieu of compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, and will be deemed not to have breached its obligations under this Agreement by virtue of such action.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11.16 or Section 10.08, all references herein to “Net Available Cash” and “Excess Proceeds” shall be deemed to mean cash in an amount equal to the amount of Net Available Cash or Excess Proceeds, as applicable, but not necessarily the actual cash received from the relevant Asset Disposition. The Company and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to segregate, trace or otherwise identify Net Available Cash or Excess Proceeds (other than the amount thereof), it being agreed that cash is fungible and that the Company’s obligations under this Section 11.16 may be satisfied by the application of funds from other sources.

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s ability to make an Asset Disposition Offer is subject to the terms of Article 15 and Article 17 of this Agreement.

Section 11.17 Limitation on Layering.

The Company will not, and will not permit any Guarantor to, Incur any Indebtedness if such Indebtedness is by its terms (or by the terms of any agreement governing such Indebtedness) expressly subordinated in right of payment to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is:

(1) pari passu with, or expressly subordinated in right of payment to, the Notes or the Note Guarantees; and

(2) expressly subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, at least to the same extent as the Notes or the Note Guarantees.

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 consecutive days; or

-83-

(9) any Note Guarantee of a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Agreement) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Guarantors that, taken together (as of the date of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Agreement or its Note Guarantee.

However, a Default under clauses (4) and (5) of this Section 13.01 will not constitute an Event of Default until the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure such Default within the time specified in clauses (4) and (5) of this Section 13.01 after receipt of such notice.

Section 13.02 Acceleration.

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (8) of Section 13.01) occurs and is continuing, the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes by notice to the Company, may, declare the principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration, such principal, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, will be due and payable; provided, however, that so long as any Indebtedness permitted under this Agreement to be Incurred under the Financing Agreement shall be outstanding, no such acceleration shall be effective until the earlier of:

(1) acceleration of any such Indebtedness under the Financing Agreement; or

(2) five Business Days after the delivery of the written notice of such acceleration to the Company and the administrative agent under the Financing Agreement.

(b) In case an Event of Default described in clause (8) of Section 13.01 occurs and is continuing, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all the Notes will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of any Holders.

(c) In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in clause (6) of Section 13.01 has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if:

(1) the default triggering such Event of Default pursuant to clause (6) of Section 13.01 shall be remedied or cured by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Indebtedness within 20 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto; and

(2) (A) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (B) all existing Events of Default, except nonpayment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes, have been cured or waived.

(d) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive all past Events of Default (except those arising under clauses (1), (2) or (8) of Section 13.01) and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences if (1) such rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived.

-84-

Section 13.03 Other Remedies.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Holders may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement.

A delay or omission by any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

Section 13.04 Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes by written notice to the Company may on behalf of all Holders waive any existing Default and its consequences hereunder, except:

(1) a continuing Default in the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note held by a non-consenting Holder (including in connection with an Asset Disposition Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or a Default under clause (8) of Section 13.01; and

(2) a Default with respect to a provision that under Section 14.01 cannot be amended without the consent of each Holder affected,

provided that, subject to Section 13.02, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. 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, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 13.05 Control by Majority.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Holders under this Agreement or any other remedy. No Holder of any Notes shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Agreement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder without prior written approval by the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes.

Section 13.06 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on its Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note (which, for purposes of this Section 13.06, shall be deemed not to include repurchases) in connection with an Asset Disposition Offer or a Change of Control Offer), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

-85-

Section 13.07 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

If any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the Company, the Guarantors and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding has been instituted.

Section 13.08 Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in Section 9.07, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy is, to the extent permitted by law, cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 13.09 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

No delay or omission of any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 13.10 Undertaking for Costs.

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 13.10 does not apply to a suit by a Holder relating to Section 13.06, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 14

AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER

Section 14.01 Consents.

(a) Except as provided in this Article 14, the Company and the Guarantors may amend or supplement this Agreement, the Notes and the Note Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes) and, as provided in Section 13.04 and subject to the exceptions therein, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes). Section 9.08 and Section 9.09 shall determine which Notes are considered to be “outstanding” for the purposes of this Section 14.01.

-86-

(b) It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 14.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver. It shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance of such proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.

(c) After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 14.01 or Section 13.04 becomes effective, the Company will give to the Holders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. However, the failure of the Company to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of any such amendment, supplement or waiver.

(d) Without the consent of each affected Holder, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 14.01 or Section 13.04 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the stated rate of interest or extend the stated time for payment of interest on any Note;

(3) reduce the principal of or extend the Stated Maturity of any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to a nonpayment default and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration) or a Default under clause (8) of Section 13.01;

(5) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed as described in Section 10.06, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions or otherwise (for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding any provision of this Section 14.01, Sections 11.15 and 11.16, and related definitions and other provisions may be amended, supplemented or waived with a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding if such amendment, supplement or waiver occurs prior to the date upon which the unconditional obligation to make the relevant Change of Control Offer or Asset Disposition Offer arises);

(6) make any Note payable in a currency other than that stated in the Note;

(7) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(8) make any change in the amendment or waiver provisions which require each Holder’s consent; or

(9) modify the Note Guarantees in any manner adverse to the Holders.

(e) A consent to any amendment, supplement or waiver of this Agreement, the Notes or the Note Guarantee by any Holder given in connection with a tender of such Holder’s Notes will not be rendered invalid by such tender.

-87-

(f) No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of this Agreement or any related definition that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (or any group or representative thereof authorized to give a consent) consent to such change.

(g) Any amendment to the subordination provisions of the Agreement that adversely affects the rights of any Holder will require the consent of the Holders of at least 75% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.

Section 14.02 Revocation and Effect of Consents.

Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such Holder of a Note or subsequent Holder of a Note may revoke the consent as to its Note if the Company receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

Section 14.03 Notation on or Exchange of Notes.

Notes delivered after the execution of any amendments to this Agreement pursuant to this Article may bear a notation as to any matter provided for in such amendments. If the Company shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Company, to any such amendments to this Agreement may be prepared and executed by the Company and delivered in exchange for outstanding Notes.

ARTICLE 15

SUBORDINATION

Section 15.01 Agreement to Subordinate.

The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of all Obligations owing in respect of the Notes is expressly subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 15, to the prior payment in cash or Cash Equivalents in full of all existing and future Senior Indebtedness and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Notes shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Pari Passu Indebtedness, and shall be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Subordinated Obligations; and only Indebtedness of the Company that is Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

Section 15.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.

Upon (1) a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company; (2) a reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property; or (3) an assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of the Company’s assets and liabilities (each, a “Proceeding”):

(a) the holders of Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but

-88-

for, the commencement of any proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Senior Indebtedness, whether or not a claim for such interest would be allowable or allowed) before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution in respect of the Notes, in the event of any payment or distribution of the assets or securities of the Company to creditors; and

(b) until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of this Article 15 will be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, except that the Holders may receive Permitted Junior Securities.

Section 15.03 Default on Senior Indebtedness.

(a) The Company will not, directly or indirectly, pay any principal, premium, if any, or interest on, or other payment obligations in respect of, the Notes (or pay any other Obligations relating to the Notes, including fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and rescission of damage claims) and will not otherwise purchase, redeem, defease or retire any Notes (collectively, “pay the Notes”) (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) if either of the following occurs:

(1) any Obligation in respect of any Designated Senior Indebtedness is not paid in full when due in cash (after giving effect to any applicable grace period); or

(2) any other default on Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms (the events in clauses (1) and (2) each being referred to as “Designated Payment Default”),

unless, in either case, the Designated Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or paid in full in cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company receives written notice approving such payment from the Representatives of all Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which a Designated Payment Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) During the continuance of any default (other than a Designated Payment Default) (a “Non-Payment Default”) with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated by the holders thereof without either further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company will not pay the Notes (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) for a period (a “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing upon the receipt by the Company of written notice (a “Blockage Notice”) of such Non-Payment Default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 179 days after the date of receipt of such notice. The Payment Blockage Period will end earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated: (1) by written notice to the Company from the Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice; (2) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is cured, waived or otherwise no longer continuing; or (3) because such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or repaid in full in cash.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions described in Section 15.03(b) (but subject to the provisions contained in Section 15.03(a) and Section 15.02), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume paying the Notes after the end of such Payment Blockage Period (including any missed payments). The Notes and Note Guarantees will not be subject to more than one Payment Blockage Period in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness during such period; provided however,

-89-

if any Blockage Notice within such 360 day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness (other than holders of Bank Indebtedness), the Representatives of the Bank Indebtedness may give another Blockage Notice within such period). In no event, however, may the total number of days during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179 days in the aggregate during any consecutive 360-day period, and there must be at least 181 days during any consecutive 360-day period during which no Payment Blockage Period is in effect. For purposes of this paragraph (c), no default or event of default that existed or was continuing on the date of the commencement of any Payment Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness initiating such Payment Blockage Period shall be, or be made, the basis of the commencement of a subsequent Payment Blockage Period by the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days (it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of financial covenants during the period after the date of delivery of a Blockage Notice, that, in either case, would give rise to a Non-Payment Default pursuant to any provisions under which a Non-Payment Default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new Non-Payment Default for this purpose).

(d) Notwithstanding any obligation in this Agreement for the Company to make any amortization, redemption or other principal payments and, to the extent applicable, payments of cash interest, with respect to the Notes, or any repurchases of the Notes, the Company shall not be permitted to make any such payments or repurchases prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the outstanding “Obligations” as defined in the Financing Agreement as in effect on the Closing Date (the “Financing Agreement Obligations”) and the termination of the lenders’ commitments thereunder. In the event that the Company is no longer a party to the Financing Agreement, this subsection (d) shall have no further force or effect. So long as this subsection (d) is in full force and effect, the Company shall not modify the definition of the term “Subordinated Indebtedness” in the Financing Agreement in a manner adverse to Holders without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

Section 15.04 Acceleration of Payment of Notes.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company will promptly notify the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of the acceleration; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 15. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, the Company may not pay the Notes until five Business Days after the Representatives of all such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the Notes only if this Agreement otherwise permits payment at that time.

Section 15.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

If a payment or distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions of this Article 15, should not have been made to them, such Holders are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and pay such payment or distribution over to holders of Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear.

Section 15.06 Subrogation.

After all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 15 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on the Notes.

-90-

Section 15.07 Relative Rights.

This Article 15 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in this Agreement shall:

(1) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

(2) prevent any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Holders and such other rights of such holders of Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein; or

(3) affect the relative rights of Holders and other creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Indebtedness.

Section 15.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company.

No right of any holder of Senior Indebtedness to enforce the subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Agreement.

Section 15.09 Rights of Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding Section 15.03 hereof, any Paying Agent (if not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, an Officer of the Paying Agent receives written notice reasonably satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article 15. The Company, any Guarantor, the Registrar, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to give such notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative, or, in the case of the Financing Agreement, the administrative agent thereunder, shall be entitled to give such notice.

The Paying Agent and Registrar (if not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company), in their individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights they would have if they were not the Paying Agent or Registrar, respectively. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 15 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness.

Section 15.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made or the notice given to their Representative (if any).

Section 15.11 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate.

The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Notes by reason of any provision in this Article 15 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default. Nothing in this Article 15 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders to accelerate the maturity of the Notes.

-91-

Section 15.12 Holders Entitled to Rely.

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 15, the Holders shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 15.02 are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Holders or (3) upon the Representatives of Senior Indebtedness, in each case for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 15.

Section 15.13 Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company on Subordination Provisions.

(a) Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Guarantor Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 15 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the following:

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness or any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is outstanding;

(2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness or any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness;

(3) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness or any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and

(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person.

Section 15.14 Continuing Treatment of Financing Agreement Obligations as Senior Indebtedness.

The Financing Agreement Obligations shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the holders of the Financing Agreement Obligations, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, even if all or part of the Liens securing such Financing Agreement Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed, or if all or part of the Financing Agreement Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed as a result of a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer statute or if any interest accruing on the Financing Agreement Obligations following the commencement of any such Proceeding is otherwise disallowed.

ARTICLE 16

GUARANTEES

Section 16.01 Guarantee.

(a) Subject to this Article 16, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior subordinated unsecured basis, to each Holder and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (1) the principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Company to the Holders hereunder or under the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other Obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Failing payment by the Company when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor, other than a release in accordance with the terms hereof. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Agreement, or pursuant to Section 16.06.

(c) Each of the Guarantors also agrees, jointly and severally, to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) Incurred by any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 16.01.

(d) If any Holder is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid to such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect.

(e) Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 13 for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed

-93-

hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 13, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees.

(f) Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Company’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes or the Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

(g) In case any provision of any Note Guarantee 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.

(h) Each payment to be made by a Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

(i) Pursuant to the provisions of Article 17, the Note Guarantee issued by any Guarantor shall be a general senior subordinated unsecured obligation of such Guarantor and shall be subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, if any.

Section 16.02 Limitation on Guarantor Liability.

Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or a fraudulent transfer for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Note Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders, the Company and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Article 16, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment under its Note Guarantee will be entitled upon payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment, determined in accordance with GAAP.

-94-

Section 16.03 Execution and Delivery.

(a) To evidence its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 16.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Agreement or a joinder or supplement hereto shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by an Officer or other person holding an equivalent title.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 16.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Note Guarantee on the Notes.

(c) The delivery of any Note by the Company shall constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the Guarantors.

(d) If required by Section 11.11, the Company shall cause any newly created or acquired Restricted Subsidiary to comply with the provisions of Section 11.11 and this Article 16, to the extent applicable.

Section 16.04 Subrogation.

Each Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of Holders against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by any Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of Section 16.01; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until all amounts then due and payable by the Company under this Agreement or the Notes shall have been paid in full.

Section 16.05 Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Note Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 16.06 Release of Note Guarantees.

A Note Guarantee by a Guarantor shall be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged, and such Guarantor will be released and discharged from all other Obligations under the Notes and this Agreement (and no further action by such Guarantor or the Company shall be required for such release and discharge), upon the occurrence of any of the following:

(a) (i) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with Section 11.16(a); or (ii) the sale or other disposition of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with Section 11.16(a); provided that, in each case, (x) all the Guarantees of such Guarantor in respect of all other Indebtedness of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries terminate prior to or upon consummation of such transaction and (y) any Investment of the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company (other than any Subsidiary of such Guarantor) in such Guarantor or any Subsidiary of such Guarantor in the form of Indebtedness or Preferred Stock is repaid, satisfied, released and discharged in full prior to or upon such disposition;

(b) the Designation of such Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 11.13; or

(c) the release, discharge, termination or satisfaction (whether by payment, purchase, redemption, defeasance or otherwise) of the Indebtedness, or of such Guarantor’s Guarantee of such Indebtedness, that gave rise to the obligation of the Company to cause such Restricted Subsidiary to become a Guarantor under Section 11.11(a).

-95-

ARTICLE 17

SUBORDINATION OF NOTE GUARANTEES

Section 17.01 Agreement to Subordinate.

Each Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of all Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee is expressly subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 17, to the prior payment in cash or Cash Equivalents in full of all existing and future Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. A Guarantor’s Obligations under its Note Guarantee shall in all respects rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Guarantor Pari Passu Indebtedness of such Guarantor and shall be senior in right of payment to all existing and future Guarantor Subordinated Obligations of such Guarantor; and only Indebtedness of such Guarantor that is Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

Section 17.02 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy.

Upon (1) a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of such Guarantor; (2) a reorganization, bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership of or similar proceeding relating to such Guarantor or its property; or (3) an assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshaling of such Guarantor’s assets and liabilities:

(a) the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash in respect of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (including interest accruing after, or which would accrue but for, the commencement of any proceeding at the rate specified in the applicable Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, whether or not a claim for such interest would be allowable or allowed) before the Holders will be entitled to receive any payment or distribution in respect of the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor, in the event of any payment or distribution of the assets or securities of such Guarantor to creditors; and

(b) until the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor is paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution to which Holders would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of this Article 17 will be made to holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, except that the Holders may receive Permitted Junior Securities.

Section 17.03 Default on Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

(a) A Guarantor will not, directly or indirectly, make any payment pursuant to its Note Guarantee (or pay any other Obligations relating to its Note Guarantee, including fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and rescission of damage claims) and will not otherwise purchase, redeem, defease or retire any Notes (collectively, “pay its Note Guarantee”) (except in the form of Permitted Junior Securities) if a Designated Payment Default has occurred unless the Designated Payment Default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or such Designated Senior Indebtedness has been discharged or paid in full in cash; provided, however, that such Guarantor may pay

-96-

its Note Guarantee without regard to the foregoing if such Guarantor receives written notice approving such payment from the Representatives of all Designated Senior Indebtedness with respect to which a Designated Payment Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) During the continuance of any Non-Payment Default, no Guarantor will pay its Note Guarantee during a Payment Blockage Period.

(c) Notwithstanding the provisions described in Section 17.03(b) (but subject to the provisions contained in Section 17.03(a) and Section 17.02), unless the holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, each Guarantor may resume paying its Note Guarantee after the end of the Payment Blockage Period.

(d) Notwithstanding any obligations in this Agreement for a Guarantor to make any amortization, redemption, repurchase or other principal payments and, to the extent applicable, payments of cash interest, with respect to the Notes or a Note Guarantee, no Guarantor shall be permitted to make any such payments and repurchases prior to the payment in full in cash of all of the Financing Agreement Obligations and the termination of the lenders’ commitments thereunder. In the event that no Guarantor is a party to the Financing Agreement, this subsection (d) shall have no further force or effect. So long as this subsection (d) is in full force and effect, the Company shall not modify the definition of the term “Subordinated Indebtedness” in the Financing Agreement in a manner adverse to Holders without the consent of the Holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes.

Section 17.04 Demand For Payment.

If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an Event of Default or a demand for payment is made on a Guarantor pursuant to Article 17, the Company or such Guarantor will promptly notify the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness of such acceleration or such demand; provided that any failure to give such notice shall have no effect whatsoever on the provisions of this Article 17. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, such Guarantor may not pay its Note Guarantee until five Business Days after the Representatives of all such Designated Senior Indebtedness receive such notice and, thereafter, may pay its Note Guarantee only if this Agreement otherwise permits payment at that time.

Section 17.05 When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

If a payment or distribution is made to Holders that, due to the subordination provisions of this Article 17, should not have been made to them, such Holders are required to hold it in trust for the holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Guarantor and pay such payment or distribution over to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, as their interests may appear.

Section 17.06 Subrogation.

After all Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness. A distribution made under this Article 17 to holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the relevant Guarantor and Holders, a payment by such Guarantor on its Note Guarantee or the Notes.

-97-

Section 17.07 Relative Rights.

This Article 17 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor. Nothing in this Agreement shall:

(1) impair, as between such Guarantor and Holders, the obligation of such Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, to make payments under its Note Guarantee in accordance with its terms;

(2) prevent any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default, subject to the rights of holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor to receive payments or distributions otherwise payable to Holders and such other rights of such holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness as set forth herein; or

(3) affect the relative rights of Holders and other creditors of such Guarantor other than their rights in relation to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor.

Section 17.08 Subordination May Not Be Impaired by a Guarantor.

No right of any holder of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor to enforce the subordination of the Obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by such Guarantor or by its failure to comply with this Agreement.

Section 17.09 Rights of Paying Agent.

Notwithstanding Section 17.03 hereof, any Paying Agent (if not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company) may continue to make payments on the Notes and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of facts that would prohibit the making of any payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, an Officer of the Paying Agent receives notice satisfactory to him that payments may not be made under this Article 17. The Company, any Guarantor, the Registrar, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to give such notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative, or, in the case of the Financing Agreement, the administrative agent thereunder, shall be entitled to give such notice.

The Paying Agent and Registrar (if not the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company), in their individual or any other capacity shall be entitled to hold Guarantor Senior Indebtedness with the same rights they would have if they were not the Paying Agent or Registrar, respectively. The Paying Agent and Registrar shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 17 with respect to any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

Section 17.10 Distribution or Notice to Representative.

Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, the distribution may be made or the notice given to their Representative (if any).

Section 17.11 Not To Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Demand Payment.

The failure of a Guarantor to make a payment pursuant its Note Guarantee by reason of any provision in this Article 17 shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default by such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee. Nothing in this Article 17 shall have any effect on the right of the Holders to make a demand for payment on a Guarantor pursuant to Article 16.

-98-

Section 17.12 Holders Entitled to Rely.

Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 17, the Holders shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 17.02 are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Holders or (3) upon the Representatives of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, in each case for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 17.

Section 17.13 Reliance by Holders of Guarantor Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions.

(a) Each Holder by accepting a Note acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor, whether such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Notes, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Guarantor Senior Indebtedness.

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of a Guarantor may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, without incurring responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article 17 or the obligations hereunder of the Holders to the holders of the Guarantor Senior Indebtedness of such Guarantor, do any one or more of the following:

(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any manner Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness is outstanding;

(2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness;

(3) release any Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of Senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness; and

(4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person.

Section 17.14 Continuing Priority of Financing Agreement Obligations.

The Financing Agreement Obligations shall continue to be treated as Guarantor Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the holders of the Financing Agreement Obligations, on the one hand, and the Holders, on the other hand, even if all or part of the Liens securing such Financing Agreement Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed, or if all or part of the Financing Agreement Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed as a result of a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer statute or if any interest accruing on the Financing Agreement Obligations following the commencement of any such Proceeding is otherwise disallowed.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Appendix A have the meanings given to them in this Agreement.

Section 2.1 Transfer and Exchange.

(a) Transfer and Exchange of Notes. When Notes are presented to the Registrar with a request:

(i) to register the transfer of such Notes; or

(ii) to exchange such Notes for an equal principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations,

the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the Notes surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

(b) Legends.

(i) Each Note certificate evidencing the Notes (and all Notes issued in exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in substantially the following form (the “Private Placement Legend”):

THIS NOTE (OR ITS PREDECESSOR) WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED IN A TRANSACTION EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND THIS NOTE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS NOTE IS HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER OF THIS NOTE MAY BE RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER.

THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE AGREES FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE COMPANY THAT (A) THIS NOTE MAY BE OFFERED, RESOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED, ONLY (I) TO THE COMPANY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY THEREOF, (II) IN THE UNITED STATES TO A PERSON WHOM THE SELLER REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF RULE 144A, (III) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH RULE 903 AND RULE 904 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (IV) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT

Each Note shall bear the following additional legend (the “ERISA Legend”):

BY ITS ACQUISITION OF THIS SECURITY, THE HOLDER THEREOF WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE REPRESENTED AND WARRANTED THAT EITHER (1) NO PORTION OF THE ASSETS USED BY SUCH HOLDER TO ACQUIRE OR HOLD THIS SECURITY CONSTITUTES THE ASSETS OF AN EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF THE U.S. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), OF A PLAN, INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNT OR OTHER ARRANGEMENT THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975 OF THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”) OR PROVISIONS UNDER ANY OTHER FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER LAWS OR REGULATIONS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO SUCH PROVISIONS OF ERISA OR THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAWS”), OR OF AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS ARE CONSIDERED TO INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” OF ANY SUCH PLAN, ACCOUNT OR ARRANGEMENT, OR (2) THE ACQUISITION AND HOLDING OF THIS SECURITY WILL NOT CONSTITUTE A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR A SIMILAR VIOLATION UNDER ANY APPLICABLE SIMILAR LAWS.

Any Note issued with original issue discount will also bear the following additional legend (the “OID Notes Legend”):

THIS NOTE HAS BEEN ISSUED WITH “ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT” (WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1272 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED) FOR U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX PURPOSES. UPON WRITTEN REQUEST, THE COMPANY WILL PROMPTLY MAKE AVAILABLE

TO ANY HOLDER OF THIS NOTE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION: (1) THE ISSUE PRICE AND DATE OF THE NOTE, (2) THE AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL ISSUE DISCOUNT ON THE NOTE AND (3) THE YIELD TO MATURITY OF THE NOTE. HOLDERS SHOULD CONTACT THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF THE COMPANY AT THE MAILING ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 18.01(a).

Section 3.1 Applicable High Yield Discount Obligations.

(a) The Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, in the relevant Purchase Notice, may elect to include the AHYDO Redemption Language in any Note, but shall have no obligation to do so. If so included, the AHYDO Redemption Language will be applicable to all Notes representing PIK Interest paid with respect to such Note, but does not create an election with respect to future Notes issued under the Agreement other than as PIK Payments in respect of such Note.

(b) Any Note in which the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, has elected to include AHYDO redemption language shall include language substantially in the following form (the “AHYDO Redemption Language”):

If the Notes evidenced by this Note (together with any PIK Payments thereon, the “AHYDO Notes”) would otherwise constitute “applicable high yield discount obligations” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code, at the end of each “accrual period” (as defined in Section 1272(a)(5) of the Code) ending after the fifth anniversary of the applicable Issue Date (each such date, an “AHYDO Redemption Date”), the Company shall be required to redeem for cash a portion of the AHYDO Notes then outstanding equal to the “Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount” (each such redemption, a “Mandatory Principal Redemption”). The redemption price for the portion of the AHYDO Notes redeemed pursuant to a Mandatory Principal Redemption will be 100% of the principal amount of such portion plus any accrued interest thereon on the date of redemption. The “Mandatory Principal Redemption Amount” means, as of each AHYDO Redemption Date, the portion of the AHYDO Notes required to be redeemed to prevent the AHYDO Notes from being treated as an “applicable high yield discount obligation” within the meaning of Section 163(i)(1) of the Code. No partial redemption or repurchase of AHYDO Notes prior to any AHYDO Redemption Date pursuant to any other provision of the Note Purchase Agreement shall alter the Company’s obligation to make the Mandatory Principal Redemption with respect to any AHYDO Notes that remain outstanding on such AHYDO Redemption Date.

(c) The Company’s right to make a Mandatory Principal Redemption (as defined in the AHYDO Redemption Language) is subject to the terms of Article 15 and Article 17 of this Agreement.

To the Purchaser party to the Note Purchase Agreement referred to below:

I, the undersigned, a senior authorized financial officer (a “Senior Authorized Financial Officer”) of WMI Holdings Corp. (the “Company”), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity (and without personal liability), do hereby certify as of the date hereof, and based upon facts and circumstances as they exist as of the date hereof (and disclaiming any responsibility for changes in such facts and circumstances after the date hereof), that:

1. This certificate is furnished to Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.03 of the Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of January [—], 2014, among the Company, the guarantors party thereto and KKR Management Holdings L.P. (the “Note Purchase Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.

2. For purposes of this certificate, the terms below shall have the following definitions:

(a) “Fair Value”

The amount at which the assets (both tangible and intangible), in their entirety, of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, within a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under any compulsion to act.

(b) “Present Fair Salable Value”

The amount that could be obtained by an independent willing seller from an independent willing buyer if the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole are sold with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction under present conditions for the sale of comparable business enterprises insofar as such conditions can be reasonably evaluated.

The recorded liabilities (including contingent liabilities that would be recorded in accordance with GAAP) of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, as of the date hereof after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied.

(d) “Will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature”

For the period from the date hereof through the maturity date of the Notes, the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will have sufficient assets and cash flow to pay their respective Liabilities as those Liabilities mature or (in the case of contingent Liabilities) otherwise become payable.

(f) “Do not have Unreasonably Small Capital”

For the period from the date hereof through the maturity date of the Notes, the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole after consummation of the Transactions is a going concern and has sufficient capital to reasonably ensure that it will continue to be a going concern for such period.

3. As a Senior Authorized Financial Officer, I am familiar with the financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this certificate, I, or officers of the Company under my direction and supervision, have performed the following procedures as of and for the periods set forth below:

(a) made such investigation and inquiry as I have determined appropriate, having taken into account the nature of the businesses proposed to be conducted by the Company and its Subsidiaries after consummation of the Transactions; and

(b) reviewed to my satisfaction the Note Purchase Agreement.

4. Based on and subject to the foregoing, I hereby certify on behalf of the Company that after giving effect to the issuance of Notes on the date hereof and the related Permitted Acquisition, it is my opinion that (i) the Fair Value and Present Fair Salable Value of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole exceed their Liabilities; (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole do not have Unreasonably Small Capital; and (iii) the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole will be able to pay their Liabilities as they mature.
