PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION

        Prestige International consists of the combined businesses of Medtech Holdings, Inc., The Denorex Company, Prestige Brands International, Inc., Prestige Household Brands, Inc. and each of their respective consolidated subsidaries. On February 6, 2004, a newly formed company controlled by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C., a private equity firm, acquired Medtech Holdings, Inc. and The Denorex Company. Prestige International Holdings, LLC, a parent company of Medtech Holdings, Inc., acquired The Spic and Span Company on March 5, 2004. The proceeds of the April 6, 2004 offering of outstanding notes was used to finance, in part, the purchase price for Bonita Bay which a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige International acquired pursuant to a merger agreement entered into on February 10, 2004. The issuer of the outstanding notes and the exchange notes is Prestige Brands, Inc. (formerly known as Medtech Acquisition, Inc.), an indirect subsidiary of Prestige International. The outstanding notes and the exchange notes are guaranteed by Prestige International and all of its domestic subsidiaries (other than the issuer of the notes). "We," "us" and "our" refer to Prestige International and its consolidated subsidiaries (including the issuer of the notes).

    Maintaining and Growing Our Significant Brand Equity.  We have a broad portfolio of strong brands with leading market positions and high levels of consumer awareness.

1


    Creating Successful Line Extensions and Innovative New Products.  We believe that our brands' high consumer awareness and our focus on marketing and product development, coupled with the difficulty of creating new competing brands, provides a unique opportunity for us to extend our brands through line extensions.

    Increasing Distribution in High-Growth Channels.  Our broad and diversified distribution capabilities enable us to participate in changing consumer retail trends. Recently, we have expanded our sales in higher growth dollar and club stores by introducing packaging and sizes customized for these channels.

    Pursue Strategic Acquisitions.  We intend to pursue strategic add-on acquisitions that enhance our product portfolio. Our outsourced manufacturing business model allows us to add new brands with relatively simple business integration while providing opportunities to realize significant cost savings.

The Transactions

    The Medtech Acquisition

        On February 6, 2004, a newly formed holding company owned by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C., or GTCR, purchased Medtech and Denorex for a total purchase price of approximately $244.3 million (including fees and expenses). The Medtech acquisition was financed through approximately $142.2 million of debt (net of deferred financing fees) and a $102.1 million capital contribution by GTCR, its affiliates and co-investors and management.

        On March 5, 2004, we purchased Spic and Span for an estimated aggregate purchase price of $30.3 million, consisting of $12.5 million in cash and an estimated $17.8 million of preferred equity interests in one of our parent companies retained by the sellers.

        In this prospectus, we refer to the acquisitions of Medtech, Denorex and Spic and Span collectively as the "Medtech Acquisition."

    The Prestige Acquisition

        On April 6, 2004, we acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc., the parent of Prestige, for a purchase price of $558.7 million (including fees and expenses) (subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment).

        In order to finance the Prestige acquisition, repay certain existing indebtedness, including debt incurred in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, and pay related fees and expenses, we (i) entered into a new senior secured credit facility, which we refer to as the "senior credit facility," consisting of: (x) a $50.0 million non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility, which we refer to as the "revolving credit facility"; (y) a $355.0 million senior secured term loan facility, which we refer to as the "tranche B term loan facility"; and (z) a $100.0 million second lien term loan facility, which we refer to as the "tranche C term loan facility," and together with the tranche B term loan facility, the "term loan facility"; (ii) issued the outstanding notes; and (iii) received a $58.5 million capital contribution consisting of the proceeds of an additional investment in equity of Prestige Holdings by GTCR, its affiliates and co-investors and management.

        The financing transactions described above, along with the Prestige acquisition, are referred to in this prospectus collectively as the "Prestige Acquisition." We refer to the Medtech Acquisition and the Prestige Acquisition collectively as the "Transactions."

Summary of the Exchange Offer

The Initial Offering of Outstanding Notes   We sold the outstanding notes on April 6, 2004 to Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Banc of America Securities LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated. We collectively refer to those parties in this prospectus as the "initial purchasers." The initial purchasers subsequently resold the outstanding notes: (i) to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A; or (ii) outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S, each as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Registration Rights Agreement

 

Simultaneously with the initial sale of the outstanding notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement for the exchange offer. In the registration rights agreement, we agreed, among other things, to use our reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the SEC and to commence and complete this exchange offer within 210 days of issuing the outstanding notes. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy your rights under the registration rights agreement. After the exchange offer is complete, you will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights with respect to your outstanding notes.

The Exchange Offer

 

We are offering to exchange the exchange notes, which have been registered under the Securities Act, for your outstanding notes, which were issued on April 6, 2004 in the initial offering. In order to be exchanged, an outstanding note must be properly tendered and accepted. All outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn will be exchanged. We will issue exchange notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offer.

Resales

 

We believe that the exchange notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act provided that:

 

 


 

the exchange notes are being acquired in the ordinary course of your business;

 

 


 

you are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the exchange notes issued to you in the exchange offer; and

 

 


 

you are not an affiliate of ours.

 

 

If any of these conditions are not satisfied and you transfer any exchange notes issued to you in the exchange offer without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your exchange notes from these requirements you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We will not assume, nor will we indemnify you against, any such liability.
         

3



 

 

Each broker-dealer that is issued exchange notes in the exchange offer for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes that were acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus for an offer to resell, resale or other retransfer of the exchange notes issued to it in the exchange offer.

Record Date

 

We mailed this prospectus and the related exchange offer documents to registered holders of outstanding notes on                        , 2004.

Expiration Date

 

The exchange offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time,                        , 2004, unless we decide to extend the expiration date.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

 

The exchange offer is not subject to any condition other than that the exchange offer not violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC.

Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes

 

If you wish to tender your notes for exchange in this exchange offer, you must transmit to the exchange agent on or before the expiration date either:

 

 


 

an original or a facsimile of a properly completed and duly executed copy of the letter of transmittal, which accompanies this prospectus, together with your outstanding notes and any other documentation required by the letter of transmittal, at the address provided on the cover page of the letter of transmittal; or

 

 


 

If the notes you own are held of record by The Depository Trust Company, or "DTC," in book-entry form and you are making delivery by book-entry transfer, a computer-generated message transmitted by means of the Automated Tender Offer Program System of DTC, or "ATOP," in which you acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal and which, when received by the exchange agent, forms a part of a confirmation of book-entry transfer. As part of the book-entry transfer, DTC will facilitate the exchange of your notes and update your account to reflect the issuance of the exchange notes to you. ATOP allows you to electronically transmit your acceptance of the exchange offer to DTC instead of physically completing and delivering a letter of transmittal to the notes exchange agent.

 

 

 

 

 

4



 

 

In addition, you must deliver to the exchange agent on or before the expiration date:

 

 


 

a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of your outstanding notes into the account of the notes exchange agent at DTC if you are effecting delivery of book-entry transfer, or

 

 


 

if necessary, the documents required for compliance with the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Special Procedures for Beneficial Owners

 

If you are the beneficial owner of book-entry interests and your name does not appear on a security position listing of DTC as the holder of the book-entry interests or if you are a beneficial owner of outstanding notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender the book-entry interest or outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the person in whose name your book-entry interests or outstanding notes are registered and promptly instruct that person to tender on your behalf.

Withdrawal Rights

 

You may withdraw the tender of your outstanding notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time on                        , 2004.

Federal Income Tax Considerations

 

The exchange of outstanding notes will not be a taxable event for United States federal income tax purposes.

Use of Proceeds

 

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all of our expenses incident to the exchange offer.

Exchange Agent

 

U.S. Bank National Association is serving as the exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer.

Summary of Terms of the Exchange Notes

        The form and terms of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act. As a result, the exchange notes will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not contain the registration rights and liquidated damage provisions contained in the outstanding notes. The exchange notes represent the same debt as the outstanding notes. Both the outstanding notes and the exchange notes are governed by the same indenture. Unless the context otherwise requires, we use the term "notes" in this prospectus to collectively refer to the outstanding notes and the exchange notes.

Issuer   Prestige Brands, Inc.

Securities

 

$210.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012, Series B.

Maturity

 

April 15, 2012

Interest payment dates

 

April 15 and October 15, commencing October 15, 2004.

Guarantees

 

The exchange notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior subordinated unsecured basis, by Prestige International and all of its domestic subsidiaries, other than the issuer of the exchange notes. Future domestic subsidiaries may also be required to guarantee the exchange notes.

Ranking

 

The exchange notes will be unsecured senior subordinated obligations and will be subordinated to our senior credit facility and other existing and future senior indebtedness. The exchange notes will rank equally to our senior subordinated indebtedness and will rank senior to our subordinated indebtedness. Each guarantee will be unsecured and subordinated to senior indebtedness of the guarantor. In addition, the exchange notes will effectively rank junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors, which will initially consist of our non-domestic subsidiaries and our non-wholly owned subsidiaries. Because the exchange notes are subordinated, in the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution and acceleration of or payment default on senior indebtedness, holders of the exchange notes will not receive any payment until holders of senior indebtedness and senior guarantor indebtedness have been paid in full. The exchange notes will also be subordinated to our secured indebtedness, including our new senior secured credit facility, as to the assets securing such indebtedness.

 

 

As of March 31, 2004, after giving pro forma effect to the consummation of the Prestige Acquisition, we would have had outstanding $458.5 million of senior indebtedness, all of which would have been secured, and approximately $46.5 million would have been available for borrowing under our revolving credit facility.
         

6



Optional redemption

 

We may redeem some or all of the exchange notes, at any time on or prior to April 15, 2008 at a redemption price equal to 100% plus a make-whole premium and on or after April 15, 2008 at the redemption prices described elsewhere in this prospectus.

Public equity offering optional redemption

 

Before April 15, 2007, we may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes with the net proceeds of certain public equity offerings at 109.250% of the principal amount of the exchange notes, plus accrued interest, if at least 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the exchange notes originally issued remains outstanding after such redemption.

Change of control

 

When a change of control occurs, each holder of exchange notes may require us to repurchase some or all of its exchange notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the exchange notes, plus accrued interest.

Covenants

 

The indenture under which the outstanding notes were issued will govern the exchange notes. The indenture contains covenants that, among other things, will limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to:

 

 


 

incur additional indebtedness;

 

 


 

pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our capital stock;

 

 


 

make investments;

 

 


 

create certain liens;

 

 


 

sell assets;

 

 


 

in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, incur obligations that restrict their ability to make dividend or other payments to us;

 

 


 

in the case of our restricted subsidiaries, guarantee or secure indebtedness;

 

 


 

enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

 


 

create unrestricted subsidiaries; and

 

 


 

consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

 

 

These covenants are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, which are described under the heading "Description of the Notes" in this prospectus.

Risk Factors

        You should refer to the section entitled "Risk Factors" elsewhere in this prospectus for an explanation of certain risks of participating in the exchange offer.

Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data

        The following table sets forth our summary unaudited pro forma combined financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

        The summary unaudited pro forma income statement and other financial data for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 have been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Transactions, as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003. Certain of the acquired businesses historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year. For purposes of the year ended March 31, 2004 data presented herein, the historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses. The pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 gives effect to the Prestige Acquisition as if it had occurred on that date.

        The summary unaudited pro forma financial data and accompanying notes are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results that would have occurred had the Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated above, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or financial position.

        Management believes that the summary unaudited pro forma financial data is a meaningful presentation because the issuer's ability to satisfy debt and other obligations is dependent upon cash flow from the businesses acquired in the Transactions.

        The following information is qualified by reference to and should be read in conjunction with "Capitalization," "Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Data," "Selected Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(1)
"EBITDA" represents net income before interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We present EBITDA because we believe that it is widely accepted that EBITDA provides useful information regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. This belief is based in part on our negotiations with our lenders, who have indicated that the amount of indebtedness we will be permitted to incur will be based, in part, on our EBITDA. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

    EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

    EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirement necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

    Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

    Other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.


Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally. See the Prestige International, Bonita Bay and Spic and Span statements of cash flows set forth in the financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The following is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA:

In connection with the Transactions, we identified significant non-recurring and other cash expenses which management believes will not be incurred after the consummation of the Transactions. In addition, we identified certain cash cost reductions that we have realized and additional cash cost reductions that we expect to realize as a result of our integration plans with respect to the Transactions that are expected to result in a positive annualized effect on pro forma EBITDA when compared to recent operating history of the separate companies. We cannot, however, assure you that expected cost savings will be realized on time or at all. See "Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—We may not realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Transactions which may adversely affect our financial performance." While we believe these expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of such cost reduction measures, there can be no assurance that we will not incur

    other expenses similar to the expenses described below in future periods. Therefore, the following items should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

    (a)
    In connection with Prestige's acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine, inventory was written up to its estimated selling price (less cost of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort). This adjustment represents the amount by which the cost of goods sold recorded in Prestige's statement of operations exceeded the original inventory costs.

    (b)
    Reflects the loss incurred, prior to the acquisition of Spic and Span, in connection with the forgiveness of a loan to Spic and Span.

    (c)
    In November 2003, we sold the exclusive right to use the Spic and Span brand name in Italy and recognized a one-time gain of $2.9 million.

    (d)
    During fiscal 2003, Prestige completed its transition of the exclusive rights to sell Clear eyes and Murine products from Abbott Laboratories in the following countries (Australia (Sept. 2003), Canada (Sept. 2003), Hong Kong (July 2003), Venezuela (Nov. 2003), United Kingdom (Oct. 2003), Ireland (Dec. 2003) and New Zealand (Sept. 2003)). Prior to this transition in 2003, under the terms of the original purchase agreement with Abbott Laboratories, we received a percentage of sales on the Clear eyes and Murine products in these international markets with an option to transition such rights in the future once we met certain regulatory requirements. Prestige continues to operate under this royalty arrangement for smaller countries for which the international rights have not yet been transitioned. This adjustment reflects the approximate net impact on the statement of operations had these seven countries' rights been fully transitioned on January 1, 2003.

    (e)
    Represents costs charged to Prestige during the transition services period with Abbott Laboratories (Domestic transition services agreement through March 2003 and International transition services agreement through December 2003) that were duplicative in nature. During this same time period, Prestige had hired internal resources to perform the same services.

    (f)
    We have undertaken a detailed review of the combined operations of Medtech, Denorex, Spic and Span and Prestige and identified areas of overlap and potential cost savings. Set forth below is a summary of these anticipated savings:

    (i)
    We have eliminated approximately 14 full-time equivalent positions as part of a permanent headcount reduction of our employees in connection with the Transactions.

10


      (ii)
      We have contracted with one logistics services provider that has allowed us to consolidate from the three logistics services providers (including three warehouses) that historically served the companies. This adjustment represents the expected cost savings of placing all of our warehouse and distribution needs with this service provider.

      (iii)
      We have contracted with one advertising agency, one brokerage structure and one media buying group that are handling the collective sales and marketing needs for the combined companies following the Transactions. Additionally, we have eliminated certain corporate overhead costs (principally legal, banking and insurance) that upon completion of the Transactions were no longer required for each of the separate companies. This adjustment represents the net impact of placing all of our advertising and media buying needs under Medtech's existing contracts, moving the existing brokerage business of Prestige under Medtech's brokerage contract or in-house and the elimination of certain non-recurring overhead costs.

      (iv)
      We have eliminated one leased location, and identified one additional leased location that will be eliminated, in connection with the Transactions. This amount represents the direct and indirect costs associated with maintaining these two redundant facilities.

    (g)
    The cost savings set forth above specifically exclude any one-time costs expected in order to achieve the anticipated cost savings estimated at $2.6 million.

(3)
Cash interest expense represents total interest expense less amortization of deferred financing fees.

(4)
Capital expenditures for the year ended March 31, 2004 represents the sum of Prestige International of $108, Bonita Bay of $370 and Spic and Span of $59.

(5)
Cash taxes paid for the year ended March 31, 2004 represents the sum of Prestige International of $128, Bonita Bay of $5,167 and Spic and Span of $10.

(6)
For the purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings before income taxes and extraordinary items, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including amortization of debt issuance costs and a portion of operating lease rental expense deemed to be representative of the interest factor.

Summary Historical Financial Data of Prestige International and Predecessor

        Summary historical financial data for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2001, 2002, 2003 and for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 is referred to as the "Predecessor" information. On February 6, 2004, an indirect subsidiary of Prestige International acquired Medtech Holdings, Inc. and the Denorex Company, which at the time were both under common control and management, in a transaction accounted for using the purchase method. The summary financial data after such date includes the financial statement impact of recording fair value adjustments arising from such acquisition. The income statement and other financial data of Prestige International and its Predecessor for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and 2003, the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004 and the balance sheet data at March 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 are derived from audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The income statement and other financial data for Predecessor for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2001 are derived from audited consolidated financial statements not included in this prospectus.

        The summary historical financial data set forth below is not necessarily indicative of the results of future operations and should be read in conjunction with the discussion under the headings "Selected Financial Data—Prestige International and Predecessor" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the historical combined consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

"EBITDA" represents net income (loss) before loss (income) from discontinued operations, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, interest expense, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. We present EBITDA because we believe that it is widely accepted that EBITDA provides useful information regarding a company's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. This belief is based, in part, on our negotiations with our lenders, who have indicated that the amount of indebtedness we will be permitted to incur will be based, in part, on our EBITDA. EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are:

    EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

    EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

    EBITDA does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirement necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

13


      although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; and

      other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.


Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP results and using EBITDA only supplementally. See the Combined Statements of Cash Flow of Predecessor and Prestige International set forth in the financial statements included elsewhere herein.

RISK FACTORS

        You should read and consider carefully each of the following factors, as well as the other information contained in this prospectus, before making a decision on whether to participate in the exchange offer.

Risks Associated with the Exchange Offer

        Because there is no public market for the notes, you may not be able to resell your notes.

        The exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act, but will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market, and there can be no assurance as to:

    the liquidity of any trading market that may develop;

    the ability of holders to sell their exchange notes; or

    the price at which the holders would be able to sell their exchange notes.

If a trading market were to develop, the exchange notes might trade at higher or lower prices than their principal amount or purchase price, depending on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, the market for similar debentures and our financial performance.

        We understand that the initial purchasers presently intend to make a market in the notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and any market-making activity with respect to the notes may be discontinued at any time without notice. In addition, any market-making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and may be limited during the exchange offer or the pendency of an applicable shelf registration statement. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will exist for the notes or that any trading market that does develop will be liquid.

        In addition, any holder of outstanding notes who tenders in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the exchange notes may be deemed to have received restricted securities, and if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction. For a description of these requirements, see "Exchange Offer."

        Your outstanding notes will not be accepted for exchange if you fail to follow the exchange offer procedures and, as a result, your notes will continue to be subject to existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your outstanding notes.

        We will not accept your notes for exchange if you do not follow the exchange offer procedures. We will issue exchange notes as part of this exchange offer only after a timely receipt of your outstanding notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, if you want to tender your outstanding notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your notes, letter of transmittal and other required documents by the expiration date of the exchange offer, we will not accept your notes for exchange. We are under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of outstanding notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of notes, we may not accept your notes for exchange. For more information, see "Exchange Offer."

        If you do not exchange your outstanding notes, your outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and you may not be able to sell your outstanding notes.

        We did not register the outstanding notes, nor do we intend to do so following the exchange offer. Outstanding notes that are not tendered will therefore continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and may be transferred only in limited circumstances under the securities laws. If you do

17



not exchange your outstanding notes, you will lose your right to have your outstanding notes registered under the federal securities laws. As a result, if you hold outstanding notes after the exchange offer, you may not be able to sell your outstanding notes.

Risks Relating to Our Business

        The high level of competition in our industry could adversely affect our business.

        The business of selling branded consumer products in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories is highly competitive. These markets include numerous manufacturers, distributors, marketers and retailers that actively compete for consumers' business both in the United States and abroad. Some of these competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do, and may therefore have the ability to spend more aggressively on advertising and marketing and to respond more flexibly to changing business and economic conditions than us.

        We compete on the basis of numerous factors, including brand recognition, product quality, performance, price and product availability at the retail stores. Advertising, promotion, merchandising and packaging, the timing of new product introductions and line extensions also have a significant impact on customer's buying decisions and, as a result, on our sales. The structure and quality of the sales force, as well as consumer consumption of our products affects in-store position, wall display space and inventory levels in retail outlets. Our markets also are highly sensitive to the introduction of new products, which may rapidly capture a significant share of the market. An increase in the amount of competition that we face could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

        In addition, competitors may attempt to gain market share by offering products at prices at or below those typically offered by us. Competitive pricing may require price reductions by us and may result in lost sales. There can be no assurance that future price or product changes by our competitors will not have a material adverse effect on us or that we will be able to react with price or product changes of our own to maintain our current market position.

        We are dependent on third parties for the manufacture of the products we sell.

        All of our products are manufactured by third parties. Without adequate supplies of merchandise to sell to our customers, sales would decrease materially and our business would suffer. In the event that manufacturers are unable or unwilling to ship products to us in a timely manner or continue to manufacture products for us, we would have to rely on other current manufacturing sources or identify and qualify new manufacturers. We might not be able to identify or qualify such manufacturers for existing or new products in a timely manner and such manufacturers might not allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements. In addition, identifying alternative vendors without adequate lead times can compromise required product validation and stability work, which may involve additional manufacturing expense, delay in production or product disadvantage in the marketplace. The consequences of not securing adequate and timely supplies of merchandise would negatively impact inventory levels, sales and gross margin rates, and ultimately our results of operations.

        In addition, even if our current manufacturers continue to manufacture our products, they may not maintain adequate controls with respect to product specifications and quality and may not continue to produce products that are consistent with our standards or applicable regulatory requirements. If we are forced to rely on products of inferior quality, then our brand recognition and customer satisfaction would likely suffer. These manufacturers may also increase the cost of the products we purchase from them. If our manufacturers increase our costs, our margins would be adversely affected if we cannot pass along these increased costs to our customers.

        Should we experience significant unanticipated demand, we will be required to expand our access to manufacturing, both from current and new manufacturing sources. If such additional manufacturing

18



capacity is not available or is not available on terms as favorable as those obtained from current sources, then our revenues or margins, or both, will suffer.

        Furthermore, we do not have long-term contracts with many of our manufacturers. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our manufacturers means that they could cease manufacturing these products for us at any time and for any reason.

        Finally, two of our products are produced and imported directly from China. If these products become difficult or impossible to bring into the United States due to tariffs, embargoes or other reasons and if we cannot obtain such merchandise from other sources at similar costs, then our sales and margins would decline. Moreover, in the event that commercial transportation is curtailed or substantially delayed, we may not be able to maintain adequate inventory levels of these products on a consistent basis, which would negatively impact our sales and potentially erode the confidence of our customer base, leading to further loss of sales and an adverse impact on our results of operations.

        Failure to maintain our relationships with our main product distributors or disruption in our main distribution centers could adversely affect our business.

        We manage our product distribution in the continental United States through a main distribution center in St. Louis, Missouri, and outsource the shipping and distribution of our products to customers to a single logistics company. We cannot assure you that this company will continue to ship and distribute our products on current pricing or terms. If there is any disruption in this company's ability to deliver our products, we may lose customers and our sales will be adversely affected. Further, should this company decide to terminate its contract with us, we may not be able to find an adequate replacement within a reasonable period of time and at a reasonable cost to us. To the extent that this company increases its prices, we are unable to find a replacement or are required to hire a replacement at additional cost, our financial performance could be materially adversely affected.

        In addition, a serious disruption, such as a flood or fire, to our main distribution centers could damage our inventory and could materially impair our ability to distribute our products to customers in a timely manner or at a reasonable cost. We could incur significantly higher costs and longer lead times associated with distributing our products to our customers during the time that it takes for us to reopen or replace a distribution center. As a result, any such disruption could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

        Difficulty in integrating the Prestige business may adversely affect our operations.

        In connection with the Prestige Acquisition completed on April 6, 2004, we acquired five additional brands. We are currently integrating the operations of this company and brands into our existing portfolio. The integration may proceed more slowly or be more difficult than we currently contemplate and, as a result, our financial position and results of operations may be adversely affected. Furthermore, we may encounter unanticipated difficulties with integrating Prestige and its brands, including problems that may arise as we integrate our respective information technology systems, and the measures that we have taken to date or plan to take in the future may not adequately resolve these issues. Integration difficulties may adversely affect our future financial position and results of operations.

        We may not realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Transactions which may adversely affect our financial performance.

        We cannot assure you that we will realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Transactions, which we discuss under "Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data," "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this prospectus. These are forward-looking estimates and involve known and unknown

19



risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual cost savings or cash generated to be materially different from our estimates or result in these savings not being realized in the time frame expected, or at all.

        In addition to the general factors discussed above, such estimates are based on a variety of other factors and were derived utilizing numerous important assumptions, including:

    maintaining the historical sales levels of Medtech, Prestige, Denorex and Spic and Span;

    integrating information technology systems without undue cost, delay or interruption;

    eliminating certain components of corporate and fixed overhead without adversely affecting our ability to manage our operations;

    terminating certain leases for real property in order to eliminate direct and indirect costs associated with maintaining redundant facilities; and

    achieving the expected cost savings set forth elsewhere in this prospectus.

        Furthermore, there can be no assurance that, as a combined company, we will continue to maintain all of the manufacturer and customer relationships that the acquired companies enjoyed as separate companies. As a combined company, we may encounter difficulties managing relationships with our manufacturers due to our increased size and scope and to the increased number of relationships we will have with manufacturers.

        We depend on a limited number of customers for a large portion of our gross sales and the loss of one or more of these customers could reduce our net sales.

        Our core customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Albertson's. For the year ended March 31, 2004, our top five and ten customers accounted for approximately 42.1% and 57.1% of our gross sales, respectively, and Wal-Mart itself accounted for approximately 23.0% of our gross sales. We expect that for the year ended March 31, 2005 and future periods our top five and ten customers, including Wal-Mart, will, in the aggregate, continue to account for a large portion of our net sales. The loss of one or more of our top customers that may account for a significant portion of our net sales, any significant decrease in sales to these customers, or any significant decrease in our retail display space in any of these customers' stores, could reduce our net sales and therefore could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        In addition, our business is based primarily upon individual sales orders, and we typically do not enter into long-term contracts with our customers. Accordingly, our customers could cease buying our products from us at any time and for any reason. The fact that we do not have long-term contracts with our customers means that we have no recourse in the event a customer no longer wants to purchase products from us. If a significant number of our customers elect not to purchase products from us, our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

        Regulatory matters governing our industry could have a significant negative effect on our business.

        In both our U.S. and foreign markets, we are affected by extensive laws, governmental regulations, administrative determinations, court decisions and similar constraints. Such laws, regulations and other constraints may exist at the federal, state or local levels in the United States and at all levels of government in foreign jurisdictions.

        The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), the Federal Trade Commission (the "FTC"), the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") and by various agencies of the

20



states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed and sold. Failure by us or our manufacturers to comply with those regulations could lead to the imposition of significant penalties or claims and could materially adversely affect our business. In addition, the adoption of new regulations or changes in the interpretations of existing regulations may result in significant compliance costs or discontinuation of product sales and may adversely affect the marketing of our products, resulting in significant loss of sales revenues.

        All of our over-the-counter drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA's monograph system. The monographs, both tentative and final, set out the active ingredients and labeling indications that are permitted for certain broad categories of over-the-counter drug products. Where the FDA has finalized a particular monograph, it has concluded that a properly labeled product formulation is generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. A tentative final monograph indicates that the FDA has not made a final determination about products in a category to establish safety and efficacy for a product and its uses. However, unless there is a serious safety or efficacy issue, the FDA will typically exercise enforcement discretion and permit companies to sell products conforming to a tentative final monograph until the final monograph is published. Products that comply with either final or tentative final monograph standards do not require pre-market approval from the FDA.

        In accordance with the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, or "FDC Act," and FDA regulations, the manufacturing processes of our third party manufacturers must also comply with the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practice, or "cGMPs." The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs. A history of past compliance is not a guarantee that future cGMPs will not mandate other compliance steps and associated expense.

        If we or our third party manufacturers fail to comply with federal, state or foreign regulations, we could be required to:

    suspend manufacturing operations;

    change product formulations;

    suspend the sale of products with non-complying specifications;

    initiate product recalls; or

    change product labeling, packaging or advertising or take other corrective action.

        Any of these actions could materially and adversely affect our financial results.

        In addition, our failure to comply with FTC or state regulations, or with regulations in foreign markets that cover our product claims and advertising, including direct claims and advertising by us, may result in enforcement actions and imposition of penalties or otherwise materially and adversely affect the distribution and sale of our products.

        Furthermore, we also are subject to a variety of other regulations in various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export regulations and antitrust issues. Our failure to comply, or assertions that we fail to comply, with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business in a particular market or in general. To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, government regulations in those countries may prevent or delay entry into or expansion of operations in those markets. In addition, our ability to sustain satisfactory levels of sales in our markets is dependent in significant part on our ability to introduce additional products into the markets. However, government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products.

21



        Product liability claims could hurt our business.

        We may be required to pay for losses or injuries purportedly caused by our products. We have been and may again be subjected to various product liability claims. Claims could be based on allegations that, among other things, our products contain contaminants, include inadequate instructions regarding their use or inadequate warnings concerning side effects and interactions with other substances. For example, Denorex products contain coal tar which the State of California has determined causes cancer and our packaging contains a warning to this effect. In addition, any product liability claims may result in negative publicity that may adversely affect our net sales. Also, if one of our products is found to be defective we may be required to recall it, which may result in substantial expense and adverse publicity and adversely affect our net sales. Although we maintain, and require our material suppliers and manufacturers to maintain, product liability insurance coverage, potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of insurance coverage or potential product liability claims may be excluded under the terms of the policy, which could hurt our financial condition. In addition, we may also become required to pay higher premiums and accept higher deductibles in order to secure adequate insurance coverage in the future.

        If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights our ability to compete could be negatively impacted.

        The market for our products depends to a significant extent upon the goodwill associated with our trademark and trade names. We own the material trademark and trade name rights used in connection with the packaging, marketing and sale of our products. Therefore, trademark and trade name protection is critical to our business. Although most of our trademarks are registered in the United States and in certain foreign countries, we may not be successful in asserting trademark or trade name protection. We could also incur substantial costs to defend legal actions relating to the use of our intellectual property, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

        Other parties may infringe on our intellectual property rights and may thereby dilute our brands in the marketplace. Any such infringement of our intellectual property rights would also likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise. In addition, we cannot assure you that third parties will not assert claims against any such intellectual property or that we will be able to successfully resolve all such claims.

        We are dependent on third parties for intellectual property relating to some of the products we sell.

        We have licenses or manufacturing agreements with third parties that own certain intellectual property (e.g., formulae, copyrights, trade dress, patents and other technology) used in the manufacture and sale of some of our products. In the event that any such license or manufacturing agreement is terminated, we may lose the right to use or have reduced rights to use the intellectual property covered by such agreement and may have either to develop or to obtain rights to use other intellectual property. In such event, we might not be able to develop or obtain replacement intellectual property in a timely manner and the products modified as a result of this development may not be well-received by customers. The consequences of losing the right to use or having reduced rights to such intellectual property could negatively impact the results of operations through the cost of developing or obtaining different intellectual property and possible reduction in sales of the affected products.

22



        We depend on our key personnel and the loss of the services provided by any of our executive officers or other key employees or the failure to successfully transition new management in connection with the Transactions could harm our business and results of operations.

        Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management, many of whom would be difficult to replace. These employees may voluntarily terminate their employment with us at any time. We may not be able to successfully retain existing personnel or identify, hire and integrate new personnel. While we believe we have developed depth and experience among our key personnel, there can be no assurance that our business would not be adversely affected if one or more of these key individuals left. We do not maintain any key-man or similar insurance policies covering any of our senior management or key personnel.

        In connection with the Medtech Acquisition, Peter C. Mann and Peter J. Anderson became our president and chief executive officer, and chief financial officer, respectively. Although each of these individuals has significant experience in the business of marketing and distributing consumer products, there can be no assurance that this management transition will not adversely affect our business, financial condition and operating results.

        The controlling equityholder of our company may have interests in conflict with the interests of our noteholders.

        GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. and its affiliates control our parent, Prestige International Holdings, LLC, or "Prestige Holdings." Prestige Holdings is the sole stockholder of Prestige International, which is the sole stockholder of the issuer and a guarantor of the notes offered hereby. Under the terms of a securityholders agreement, all of the members of Prestige Holdings have agreed to vote in favor of those individuals designated by GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. and its affiliates to serve on the board of directors of the issuer and each of the guarantors and GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. and its affiliates have the right to appoint a majority of the directors. As a result, GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. and its affiliates have the ability to control the policies and operations of the issuer and each of the guarantors. Circumstances may occur in which the interests of GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. and its affiliates, as our principal equityholders, could be in conflict with your interests as a holder of our notes. In addition, our equity investors may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures and other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investment, even though such transactions might involve risks to you as a holder of our notes.

Risks Relating To The Notes

        Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent the issuer from fulfilling its obligations under the notes.

        As a result of the Transactions, we have a significant amount of indebtedness. As of March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Prestige Acquisition, we would have had $668.5 million of total indebtedness and approximately $46.5 million would have been available for borrowing as additional senior debt under the revolving credit facility. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to you. For example, it could:

    make it more difficult for the issuer to satisfy its obligations with respect to the notes;

    increase our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

    require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments and other general corporate purposes;

23


    limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the markets in which we operate;

    place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

    limit, among other things, our ability to borrow additional funds.

        In addition, we may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. The terms of the indenture governing the notes and the senior credit facility will allow us to issue and incur additional debt upon satisfaction of certain conditions. If new debt is added to current debt levels, the related risks described above could intensify.

        Your right to receive payments on the notes is junior to the issuer's existing senior indebtedness and possibly all of its future borrowings. Further, the guarantees of the notes are junior to all of the guarantors' existing senior indebtedness and possibly to all their future borrowings.

        The notes and the guarantees rank behind all of the issuer's and the guarantors' existing and future senior indebtedness. Assuming we had completed the Prestige Acquisition as of March 31, 2004, the notes and the guarantees would have been subordinated to approximately $458.5 million of senior debt of the issuer and approximately $46.5 million would have been available for borrowing as additional senior debt under the revolving credit facility.

        As a result of this subordination, upon any distribution to the issuer's or the guarantors' creditors or the creditors of the guarantors in a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to the issuer or the guarantors, as applicable, or the issuer's or the guarantors' property, the holders of senior debt of the issuer and the guarantors will be entitled to be paid in full in cash before any payment may be made with respect to the notes or the guarantees.

        In addition, all payments on the notes and the guarantees will be blocked in the event of a payment default on senior debt and may be blocked for up to 180 of 360 consecutive days in the event of certain non-payment defaults on designated senior debt.

        In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization or similar proceeding relating to the issuer or the guarantors, as applicable, holders of the notes will participate with trade creditors and all other holders of subordinated indebtedness of the issuer and the guarantors in the assets remaining after the issuer and the guarantors have paid all of the senior debt. However, because the indenture relating to the notes requires that amounts otherwise payable to holders of the notes in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding be paid to holders of senior debt instead, holders of the notes may receive less, ratably, than holders of trade payables in any such proceeding. In any of these cases, the issuer and the guarantors may not have sufficient funds to pay all of their creditors and holders of notes may receive less, ratably, than the holders of senior debt.

        Since the notes are unsecured, your right to enforce remedies is limited by the rights of holders of secured debt.

        In addition to being contractually subordinated to all existing and future senior debt, the issuer's obligations under the notes and the guarantors' obligations under the guarantees are unsecured, while obligations of the issuer and the guarantors under the senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of their assets. If the issuer becomes insolvent or is liquidated, or if payment under the senior credit facility is accelerated, the lenders under the senior credit facility will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law. These lenders have a claim on all assets securing the senior credit facility before the holders of unsecured debt, including the notes. See "Description of Senior Credit Facility."

24



        The issuer will require a significant amount of cash to service its indebtedness. Its ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond the issuer's control.

        The issuer's ability to make payments on and to refinance its indebtedness, including the notes and amounts borrowed under the senior credit facility, and to fund planned expansion efforts and any strategic acquisitions we may make in the future, if any, will depend on our ability to generate cash in the future. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors that are beyond our control.

        Based on our current level of operations, we believe our cash flow from operations, together with available cash and available borrowings under the senior credit facility, will be adequate to meet future liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot assure you that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations in the future, that our currently anticipated growth in net sales and cash flow will be realized on schedule or that future borrowings will be available to us under the senior credit facility in an amount sufficient to enable the issuer to repay indebtedness, including the notes, or to fund other liquidity needs. The issuer may need to refinance all or a portion of its indebtedness, including these notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure you that the issuer will be able to refinance any of its indebtedness, including the senior credit facility and the notes, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

        Covenant restrictions contained in the indenture governing the notes and the senior credit facility limit our management's discretion in the operations of our business.

        The senior credit facility and the indenture governing the notes contain various provisions which limit our management's discretion by restricting the issuer's and the guarantors' ability, and the ability of their respective subsidiaries, to:

    borrow money or issue guarantees;

    pay dividends or purchase stock;

    make investments and other restricted payments;

    use assets as security in other transactions;

    sell certain assets or merge with or into other companies;

    enter into certain transactions with affiliates;

    sell stock in certain of our subsidiaries; and

    create or permit restrictions on the ability of certain restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other payments to our company.

        In addition, the senior credit facility requires us to meet certain financial ratios. Covenants in our senior credit facility also require us to use a portion of the proceeds we receive in specified debt or equity issuances to repay outstanding borrowings under our senior credit facility.

        Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the senior credit facility, the indenture related to the notes or any other subsequent financing agreements may result in an event of default. Such default may allow the creditors, if the agreements so provide, to accelerate the related debt as well as any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions applies. In addition, the lenders may be able to terminate any commitments they had made to supply us with further funds.

        We may be unable to finance the change of control offer required by the indenture.

        Upon the occurrence of certain specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes. However, it is possible that we will not have sufficient funds

25



at the time of the change of control to make the required repurchase of notes or that restrictions in the senior credit facility will not allow such repurchases. In addition, certain important corporate events, such as leveraged recapitalizations that would increase the level of our indebtedness, would not constitute a "change of control" under the indenture related to the notes. Our ability to repurchase the notes upon certain specific kinds of change of control events may be limited by the terms of our senior debt and the subordination provisions of the indenture. For example, the senior credit facility prohibits us from repurchasing the notes after certain specific kinds of change of control events until we first repay debt under the senior credit facility in full or obtain a waiver from the bank lenders. If the issuer fails to repurchase the notes in that circumstance, it will go into default under the indenture related to the notes and the senior credit facility. Any future debt which we incur may also contain restrictions on repayment which come into effect upon certain specific kinds of change of control events. If a change of control occurs, we cannot assure you that the issuer will have sufficient funds to repay other debt obligations which will be required to be repaid, in addition to the notes. See "Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control" and "Description of Senior Credit Facility."

        We can engage in a number of significant corporate transactions that may not constitute a change of control under the indenture.

        The definition of "change of control" in the indenture includes a disposition of all or substantially all of our property and assets. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of "all or substantially all" of the property or assets of a person. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a change of control has occurred and whether a holder of notes may require us to make an offer to repurchase the notes. Moreover, certain other corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization, which would increase our level of indebtedness, would not necessarily constitute a change of control under the indenture and that the holders of the notes would not be entitled to require repurchase thereof in connection with any such transaction.

        Federal and state statutes allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received from guarantors.

        If a bankruptcy case or lawsuit is initiated by unpaid creditors of any guarantor, the debt represented by the guarantees entered into by the guarantors may be reviewed under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws. Under these laws, the guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of the guarantee could be subordinated to certain obligations of a guarantor if, among other things, such guarantor, at the time it entered into the guarantee:

    received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for entering into the guarantee; and

    either:

    was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of entering into a guarantee; or

    was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor's remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

    intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts or contingent liabilities beyond its ability to pay such debts or contingent liabilities as they become due.

        In addition, any payment by a guarantor could be voided and required to be returned to such guarantor, or to a fund for the benefit of the creditors of such guarantor under such circumstances.

26



        If a guarantee were voided as a fraudulent conveyance or held unenforceable for any other reason, holders of these notes would be solely creditors of our company and creditors of the entities that have validly guaranteed the notes. These notes then would be effectively subordinated to all obligations of the guarantor whose guarantee was voided.

        The measures of insolvency for purposes of these fraudulent transfer laws will vary depending upon the law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent if:

    the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, were greater than the fair saleable value of all of its assets; or

    if the present fair saleable value of its assets were less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

    it could not pay its debts or contingent liabilities as they become due.

        To the extent that the claims of the holders of the notes against any guarantor were subordinated in favor of other creditors of such guarantor, such other creditors would be entitled to be paid in full before any payment could be made on these notes. If one or more of the guarantees is voided or subordinated, we cannot assure you that after providing for all prior claims, there would be sufficient assets remaining to satisfy the claims of the holders of these notes.

        Based upon financial and other information, we believe that the guarantees are being incurred for proper purposes and in good faith and that each guarantor is solvent and will continue to be solvent after this offering is completed, will have sufficient capital for carrying on its business after such issuance and will be able to pay its debts as they mature. There can be no assurance, however, as to what standard a court would apply in making such determinations or that a court would agree with our conclusions in this regard.

        The market price for the notes may be volatile.

        Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the price of securities similar to the notes offered by this prospectus. The market for the notes, if any, may be subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruptions may adversely affect the value of your notes.

EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

        We, the subsidiary guarantors and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement in connection with the issuance of the outstanding notes on April 6, 2004. Under the registration rights agreement, we and the guarantors have agreed to:

    file a registration statement within 90 days after the issue date of the outstanding notes, enabling holders of outstanding notes to exchange the privately placed outstanding notes for publicly registered exchange notes with identical terms;

    use our reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective within 180 days after the issue date of the outstanding notes;

    use our reasonable best efforts to complete the exchange offer within 210 days after the issue date of the outstanding notes; and

    use our reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement for the resale of the notes if we cannot effect an exchange offer within the time periods listed above and in other circumstances.

        We will pay additional interest on the notes for the periods described below if:

    we and the subsidiary guarantors do not file the required registration statement on time;

    the SEC does not declare the required registration statement effective on time;

    the exchange offer is not consummated or a shelf registration statement is not declared effective on time; or

    the shelf registration statement is declared effective but shall later become unusable in connection with resales of the notes during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement.

        You will not have any remedy other than liquidated damages on the notes if we fail to meet the deadlines listed above, which we refer to as a registration default. When there is a registration default, the interest rate of the notes will increase by one-quarter of one percent per year for the first 90-day period. The interest rate (as so increased) will increase by an additional one-quarter of one percent each subsequent 90-day period until all registration defaults have been cured, up to an aggregate maximum increase in the interest rate equal to one percent (1%) per annum. Following the cure of all registration defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease and the interest rate will revert to the original rate.

Terms of the Exchange Offer

        Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept any and all outstanding notes validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding notes accepted in the exchange offer. Any holder may tender some or all of its outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer. However, outstanding notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000.

        The form and terms of the exchange notes are the same as the form and terms of the outstanding notes except that:

    the exchange notes bear a Series B designation and a different CUSIP Number from the outstanding notes;

29


    the exchange notes have been registered under the Securities Act and hence will not bear legends restricting the transfer thereof; and

    the holders of the exchange notes will not be entitled to certain rights under the registration rights agreement, including the provisions providing for an increase in the interest rate on the outstanding notes in certain circumstances relating to the timing of the exchange offer, all of which rights will terminate when the exchange offer is terminated.

The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes and will be entitled to the benefits of the indenture relating to the outstanding notes.

        As of the date of this prospectus, $210,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes were outstanding. We have fixed the close of business on            , 2004 as the record date for the exchange offer for purposes of determining the persons to whom this prospectus and the letter of transmittal will be mailed initially.

        Holders of outstanding notes do not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or the indenture relating to the notes in connection with the exchange offer. We intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

        We will be deemed to have accepted validly tendered outstanding notes when, as and if we have given oral or written notice thereof to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the exchange notes from us.

        If any tendered outstanding notes are not accepted for exchange because of an invalid tender, the occurrence of specified other events set forth in this prospectus or otherwise, the certificates for any unaccepted outstanding notes will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder thereof promptly following the expiration date of the exchange offer.

        Holders who tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than transfer taxes in certain circumstances, in connection with the exchange offer. See "—Fees and Expenses."

Expiration Date; Extensions; Amendments

        The term "expiration date" will mean 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on            , 2004, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the exchange offer, in which case the term "expiration date" will mean the latest date and time to which the exchange offer is extended.

        In order to extend the exchange offer, we will make a press release or other public announcement, notify the exchange agent of any extension by oral or written notice and will mail to the registered holders an announcement thereof, each prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

        We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, (1) to delay accepting any outstanding notes, to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth below under "—Conditions" have not been satisfied, by giving oral or written notice of any delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent or (2) to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner. Such decision will also be communicated in a press release or other public announcement prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time on the next business day following such decision. Any announcement of delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders.

30



Interest on the Exchange Notes

        The exchange notes will bear interest from their date of issuance. Holders of outstanding notes that are accepted for exchange will receive, in cash, accrued interest thereon to, but not including, the date of issuance of the exchange notes. Such interest will be paid with the first interest payment on the exchange notes on October 15, 2004. Interest on the outstanding notes accepted for exchange will cease to accrue upon issuance of the exchange notes.

        Interest on the exchange notes is payable semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2004.

Procedures for Tendering

        Only a holder of outstanding notes may tender outstanding notes in the exchange offer. To tender in the exchange offer, a holder must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile thereof, have the signatures thereon guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal or transmit an agent's message in connection with a book-entry transfer, and mail or otherwise deliver the letter of transmittal or the facsimile, together with the outstanding notes and any other required documents, to the exchange agent prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. To be tendered effectively, the outstanding notes, letter of transmittal or an agent's message and other required documents must be completed and received by the exchange agent at the address set forth below under "—Exchange Agent" prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date. Delivery of the outstanding notes may be made by book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures described below. Confirmation of the book-entry transfer must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date.

        The term "agent's message" means a message, transmitted by a book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the exchange agent forming a part of a confirmation of a book-entry, which states that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in the book-entry transfer facility tendering the outstanding notes that the participant has received and agrees: (1) to participate in ATOP; (2) to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal; and (3) that we may enforce the agreement against the participant.

        By executing the letter of transmittal, each holder will make to us the representations set forth above in the third paragraph under the heading "—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer."

        The tender by a holder and our acceptance thereof will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal or agent's message.

        The method of delivery of outstanding notes and the letter of transmittal or agent's message and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and sole risk of the holder. As an alternative to delivery by mail, holders may wish to consider overnight or hand delivery service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. No letter of transmittal or outstanding notes should be sent to us. Holders may request their respective brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies or nominees to effect the above transactions for them.

        Any beneficial owner whose outstanding notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and who wishes to tender should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender on the beneficial owner's behalf. See "Instructions to Registered Holder and/or Book-Entry Transfer Facility Participant from Beneficial Owner" included with the letter of transmittal.

31



        Signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member of the Medallion System unless the outstanding notes tendered pursuant to the letter of transmittal are tendered (1) by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled "Special Registration Instructions" or "Special Delivery Instructions" on the letter of transmittal or (2) for the account of a member firm of the Medallion System. In the event that signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, are required to be guaranteed, the guarantee must be by a member firm of the Medallion System.

        If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes listed in this prospectus, the outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power, signed by the registered holder as the registered holder's name appears on the outstanding notes with the signature thereon guaranteed by a member firm of the Medallion System.

        If the letter of transmittal or any outstanding notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, offices of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, the person signing should so indicate when signing, and evidence satisfactory to us of its authority to so act must be submitted with the letter of transmittal.

        We understand that the exchange agent will make a request promptly after the date of this prospectus to establish accounts with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC for the purpose of facilitating the exchange offer, and subject to the establishment thereof, any financial institution that is a participant in DTC's system may make book-entry delivery of outstanding notes by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account with respect to the outstanding notes in accordance with DTC's procedures for the transfer. Although delivery of the outstanding notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent's account at DTC, unless an agent's message is received by the exchange agent in compliance with ATOP, an appropriate letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed with any required signature guarantee and all other required documents must in each case be transmitted to and received or confirmed by the exchange agent at its address set forth below on or prior to the expiration date, or, if the guaranteed delivery procedures described below are complied with, within the time period provided under the procedures. Delivery of documents to DTC does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

        All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, acceptance of tendered outstanding notes and withdrawal of tendered outstanding notes will be determined by us in our sole discretion, which determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any and all outstanding notes not properly tendered or any outstanding notes our acceptance of which would, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the right in our sole discretion to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to particular outstanding notes, provided however that, to the extent such waiver includes any condition to tender, we will waive such condition as to all tendering holders. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes must be cured within the time we determine. Although we intend to notify holders of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of outstanding notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will incur any liability for failure to give the notification. Tenders of outstanding notes will not be deemed to have been made until the defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any outstanding notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holders, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the expiration date.

32



Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

        Holders who wish to tender their outstanding notes and (1) whose outstanding notes are not immediately available, (2) who cannot deliver their outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent or (3) who cannot complete the procedures for book-entry transfer, prior to the expiration date, may effect a tender if:

    (A)
    the tender is made through a member firm of the Medallion System;

    (B)
    prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from a member firm of the Medallion System a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery by facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery setting forth the name and address of the holder, the certificate number(s) of the outstanding notes and the principal amount of outstanding notes tendered, stating that the tender is being made thereby and guaranteeing that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof together with the certificate(s) representing the outstanding notes or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal will be deposited by the member firm of the Medallion System with the exchange agent; and

    (C)
    the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as the certificate(s) representing all tendered outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a confirmation of book-entry transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent's account at DTC, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal are received by the exchange agent within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

        Upon request to the exchange agent, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be sent to holders who wish to tender their outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth above.

Withdrawal of Tenders

        Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, tenders of outstanding notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

        To withdraw a tender of outstanding notes in the exchange offer, a telegram, telex, letter or facsimile transmission notice of withdrawal must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date of the exchange offer. Any notice of withdrawal must:

    (1)
    specify the name of the person having deposited the outstanding notes to be withdrawn;

    (2)
    identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate number(s) and principal amount of the outstanding notes, or, in the case of outstanding notes transferred by book-entry transfer, the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited;

    (3)
    be signed by the holder in the same manner as the original signature on the letter of transmittal by which the outstanding notes were tendered, including any required signature guarantees, or be accompanied by documents of transfer sufficient to have the trustee with respect to the outstanding notes register the transfer of the outstanding notes into the name of the person withdrawing the tender; and

    (4)
    specify the name in which any outstanding notes are to be registered, if different from that of the person depositing the outstanding notes to be withdrawn.

All questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of the notices will be determined by us, which determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any outstanding notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for purposes of the exchange offer and

33


no exchange notes will be issued with respect thereto unless the outstanding notes so withdrawn are validly retendered. Any outstanding notes which have been tendered but which are not accepted for exchange will be returned to the holder thereof without cost to the holder promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn outstanding notes may be retendered by following one of the procedures described above under "—Procedures for Tendering" at any time prior to the expiration date.

Conditions

        Notwithstanding any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or exchange notes for, any outstanding notes, and may, prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the acceptance of the outstanding notes, if:

    (1)
    any action or proceeding is instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer which we reasonably believe might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or any material adverse development has occurred in any existing action or proceeding with respect to us or any of our subsidiaries; or

    (2)
    any law, statute, rule, regulation or interpretation by the Staff of the SEC is proposed, adopted or enacted, which we reasonably believe might materially impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer or materially impair the contemplated benefits of the exchange offer to us; or

    (3)
    any governmental approval has not been obtained, which approval we reasonably believe to be necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer as contemplated by this prospectus.

        If we determine in our reasonable discretion that any of the conditions are not satisfied, we may (1) refuse to accept any outstanding notes and return all tendered outstanding notes to the tendering holders, (2) extend the exchange offer and retain all outstanding notes tendered prior to the expiration of the exchange offer, subject, however, to the rights of holders to withdraw the outstanding notes (see "—Withdrawal of Tenders") or (3) waive the unsatisfied conditions with respect to the exchange offer and accept all properly tendered outstanding notes which have not been withdrawn.

Fees and Expenses

        We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, additional solicitation may be made by telegraph, telecopy, telephone or in person by our and our affiliates' officers and regular employees.

        We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not make any payments to brokers, dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offer. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and will reimburse it for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with these services.

        We will pay the cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offer. Such expenses include fees and expenses of the exchange agent and trustee, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others.

Accounting Treatment

        The exchange notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes, which is face value, as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes as a result of the exchange offer. The expenses of the exchange offer will be deferred and charged to expense over the term of the exchange notes.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

        The outstanding notes that are not exchanged for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer will remain restricted securities. Accordingly, the outstanding notes may be resold only:

    (1)
    to us upon redemption thereof or otherwise;

    (2)
    so long as the outstanding notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, to a person inside the United States whom the seller reasonably believes is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 144A, in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or pursuant to another exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, which other exemption is based upon an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to us;

    (3)
    outside the United States to a foreign person in a transaction meeting the requirements of Rule 904 under the Securities Act; or

    (4)
    pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act,

in each case in accordance with any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States.

35


Resale of the Exchange Notes

        With respect to resales of exchange notes, based on interpretations by the Staff of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that a holder or other person who receives exchange notes, whether or not the person is the holder, other than a person that is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, in exchange for outstanding notes in the ordinary course of business and who is not participating, does not intend to participate, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the exchange notes, will be allowed to resell the exchange notes to the public without further registration under the Securities Act and without delivering to the purchasers of the exchange notes a prospectus that satisfies the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act. However, if any holder acquires exchange notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of distributing or participating in a distribution of the exchange notes, the holder cannot rely on the position of the Staff of the SEC expressed in the no-action letters or any similar interpretive letters, and must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction, unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available. Further, each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes, where the outstanding notes were acquired by the broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.

36



USE OF PROCEEDS

        This exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes. In consideration for issuing the exchange notes contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive outstanding notes in like principal amount, the form and terms of which are the same as the form and terms of the exchange notes, except as otherwise described in this prospectus.

        We used the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the outstanding notes of approximately $202.6 million, together with borrowings under the senior credit facility and cash-on-hand, to consummate the Prestige Acquisition, repay approximately $326.3 million of existing indebtedness of Medtech and Prestige, including debt incurred in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, and pay related fees and expenses.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA

        The following tables set forth unaudited pro forma combined financial data as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

        The unaudited pro forma balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 gives effect to the Prestige Acquisition and the related financing transactions as if each had occurred on that date. The historical balance sheet as of March 31, 2004 already reflects the Medtech Acquisition and related financing transactions. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 has been prepared to illustrate the effects of the Transactions as if each had occurred on April 1, 2003. Prestige and Spic and Span have historically utilized a December 31 fiscal year; for purposes of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 data presented herein, a historical December 31, 2003 period was used for these businesses.

        The unaudited pro forma financial data and accompanying notes are provided for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the Transactions been consummated on the dates indicated above, nor are they necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or financial position.

        The adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined financial data are based upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable and exclude certain non-recurring charges that will be incurred in connection with the Transactions and recognized in the 12 months following: (1) amortization of estimated inventory fair value step-up of $7.2 million expected to impact fiscal 2004 and fiscal 2005 cost of sales; (2) the estimated costs of $2.6 million related to the integration of Medtech, Spic and Span and Prestige; (3) the write-off of deferred financing charges of $2.8 million; and (4) the write-off of the discount on the Medtech Mezzanine Facility of $4.8 million.

PRESTIGE BRANDS INTERNATIONAL, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENTS OF INCOME
(dollars in thousands)

(a)
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have been prepared to reflect the application of purchase accounting under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations" for the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex, Spic and Span and Prestige. Spic and Span's and Prestige's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 have been combined with the audited financial statements of the Predecessor for the period April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the audited financial statements of Prestige International for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 in arriving at the pro forma fiscal year ended March 31, 2004.

(b)
Medtech acquired Spic and Span on March 5, 2004. Therefore, the operating results for Spic and Span are included in the operating results of Prestige International for the period from March 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. Because Spic and Span's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 are included in the pro forma fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, a full year of Spic and Span operating results are already included in the pro forma presentation. The adjustment reflects the elimination of Spic and Span's operating results from March 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004.

(c)
Reflects the elimination of revenue and the associated expense related to a service agreement between Medtech and Spic and Span in place prior to Medtech's acquisition of Spic and Span.

(d)
Represents the difference between pro forma annual amortization expense of intangible assets and the historical amortization amounts for the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span acquisitions.

 
  Fiscal Year Ended
March 31, 2004

 
New amortization of finite-life intangible assets (1)   $ 3,895  
Less: Historical Medtech/Denorex amortization     (5,141 )
Less: Historical Spic and Span amortization     (1,152 )
   
 
  Adjustment to amortization   $ (2,398 )
   
 

    (1)
    Represents amortization of $56.1 million of identifiable assets over their estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 14.4 years.

(e)
Represents the increase in pro forma annual amortization expense of intangible assets associated with the Prestige acquisition.

 
  Fiscal Year Ended
March 31, 2004

New amortization of finite-life intangible assets (1)   $ 1,233
Historical Prestige amortization of trademarks    
   
Adjustment to amortization   $ 1,233
   

    (1)
    Represents amortization of $11.8 million of identifiable intangible assets over their estimated weighted average useful life of approximately 9.5 years.

44


(f)
Reflects the interest expense as a result of the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span acquisitions which is calculated as follows:

 
  Fiscal Year Ended
March 31, 2004

 
Interest on borrowings: (1)        
  Medtech revolving credit facility   $ 680  
  Medtech term loan facility     4,680  
  Medtech senior subordinated debt     5,153  
   
 
Total cash interest from the debt requirements of the acquisitions     10,513  
  Amortization of deferred financing costs (2)     337  
   
 
Total pro forma interest expense (3)   $ 10,850  
  Less: Historical interest expense     (12,257 )
   
 
Net adjustment to interest expense   $ (1,407 )
   
 

    (1)
    Represents the interest on the outstanding and unused balance on the Medtech revolving credit facility (6.0%), the outstanding Medtech term loan (4.6%) and the outstanding Medtech subordinated loan (12.0%).

    (2)
    Represents annual amortization expense on estimated $2.8 million of deferred financing fees, utilizing a weighted average maturity of 8.3 years, which approximates amortization under the effective interest rate method.

    (3)
    A 1/8% change in interest rates on both the Medtech revolving credit facility and the Medtech term loan would amount to a change in pro forma interest expense of $0.1 million.

(g)
Reflects the interest expense in connection with the Prestige Acquisition, including the refinancing of debt incurred to consummate the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span acquisitions described above, which is calculated as follows:

 
  Fiscal Year Ended
March 31, 2004

 
Total cash interest from the debt requirements of the Transaction (1)   $ 44,650  
  Amortization of deferred financing costs (2)     2,620  
   
 
Total pro forma interest expense (3)   $ 47,270  
  Less: Historical interest expense     (17,483 )
  Less: Pro forma interest for the Medtech Acquisition     (10,850 )
   
 
Net adjustment to interest expense   $ 18,937  
   
 

    (1)
    Represents the interest on the outstanding and unused balance on the new revolving credit facility (variable rate), the outstanding balance on the Tranche B term loan (variable rate), the outstanding balance on the Tranche C term loan (variable rate) and the outstanding balance on senior subordinated notes, together assuming a weighted average interest rate of 6.7%.

    (2)
    Represents annual amortization expense on estimated $19.2 million of deferred financing fees, utilizing a weighted average maturity of 7.3 years, which approximates amortization under the effective interest rate method.

    (3)
    A 1/8% change in interest rates on borrowings with variable interest rates would amount to a change in pro forma interest expense of $0.6 million.

(h)
Represents license fees historically paid to Medtech IP L.L.C., or "Labs LLC," which owned the rights to certain brands utilized by Medtech prior to the Medtech Acquisition. In connection with the Medtech Acquisition, Medtech acquired the rights to the brands owned by Labs LLC. Accordingly, monthly license fees will no longer exist.

45


(i)
Reflects the elimination of transaction bonuses paid to certain members of management as a direct result of successfully completing the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span transactions. This adjustment eliminates the expense recognized for pro forma presentation purposes as it is directly attributable to the Transactions and is not expected to recur in the future.

(j)
Reflects the elimination of the aggregate management and advisory fees paid by Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span to the Shansby Group ($2,480) and by Prestige to its former investors ($640). Offsetting the elimination are management and advisory fees of $4.0 million that will be paid on a prospective basis to the new equity investors of the combined entities.

(k)
Reflects the tax effect of the pro forma adjustments at an estimated 38% effective tax rate.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion of Medtech's and Prestige's financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the "Selected Financial Data," "Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Data" and the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. Future results could differ materially from the discussion below for many reasons, including the factors described in "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this prospectus. Tables and other data in this section may not total due to rounding.

General

        Overview.    We are a leading branded consumer products company with a diversified portfolio of well-recognized brands in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. Our products are sold by mass merchandisers, and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, which accounted for approximately 83.3% of our gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. Our principal customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Albertson's.

        Medtech was formed in 1996 as a joint venture of Medtech Labs, a company that focused on over-the-counter drug brands, and The Shansby Group, a private equity firm, to acquire brands from American Home Products, including Compound W, Oxipor VHC®, Zincon®, Kerodex®, Freezone®, Outgro®, Momentum®, APF®, Heet®, Sleepeze® and Dermoplast. Medtech also acquired Percogesic™ from The Procter & Gamble Company in 1996. In 1998, Medtech acquired Cutex and, in 2002, The Shansby Group acquired Denorex. Since June 2001, Peter Mann and his management team have successfully managed the Medtech, Denorex and Spic and Span businesses and have been responsible for integrating numerous brands into the portfolio.

        Prestige was established in October 1999 to acquire leading brands being divested by major consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. Since that date, Prestige has acquired Comet (2001), Chloraseptic (2000), and Prell® (1999) from Procter & Gamble. In December 2002, Prestige purchased Clear eyes and Murine from Abbott Laboratories.

        Following the Transactions, we will conduct our operations through three principal business segments: Over-the-Counter Drug, Household Cleaning and Personal Care. The following table identifies and sets forth certain historical gross sales information with respect to the major brands within each of our segments:

Gross sales data is included from the date we originally acquired the brand.

        Acquisition-Related Synergies.    We have implemented a number of transaction-related cost reductions that are expected to result in a positive annualized effect on our operating results when compared to recent operating history of Medtech, Denorex, Spic and Span and Prestige as separate companies. We believe these expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of such cost reduction measures. These adjustments are reflected in note (2) to the table in "Summary—Summary Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Data." These cost savings include those items set forth in the table below. However, we cannot assure you that expected cost savings will be realized on time or at all. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—We may not realize all of the anticipated operating synergies and cost savings from the Transactions which may adversely affect our financial performance." Also, the anticipated cost savings shown in note (2) referenced above are given effect as if they had occurred on April 1, 2003 and have not been adjusted to reflect additional expenses that we expect also to incur in future periods, including interest expense, depreciation and amortization and other expenses, $2.6 million of estimated integration costs, and $4.0 million of management fees to GTCR. Payment of the management fee will be deferred if: (i) an event of default under the senior credit facility or indenture governing the notes has occurred; or (ii) we would not be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional debt under the first paragraph of the covenant described under "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt." For more information on these fees, see "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Professional Services Agreement." In addition, while we believe the following estimated expenses will not recur in future periods after implementation of these cost saving measures, there can be no assurance that we will not incur other expenses similar to the expenses set forth below in future periods.

We have eliminated approximately 14 full-time equivalent positions as part of a permanent headcount reduction of our employees in connection with the Transactions.

(ii)
We have contracted with one logistics services provider that has allowed us to consolidate from the three logistics services providers (including three warehouses) that historically served the companies. This adjustment represents the expected cost savings of placing all of our collective warehouse and distribution needs with this service provider.

(iii)
We have contracted with one advertising agency, one brokerage structure and one media buying group that are handling the collective sales and marketing needs for the combined companies following the Transactions. Additionally, we have eliminated certain corporate overhead costs (principally legal, banking and insurance) that upon completion of the Transactions were no longer required for each of the separate companies. This adjustment represents the net impact of placing all of our advertising and media buying needs under Medtech's existing contracts, moving the existing brokerage business of Prestige under

52


      Medtech's brokerage contract or in-house and the elimination of the non-recurring overhead costs.

    (iv)
    We have eliminated one leased location, and identified one additional leased location that will be eliminated, in connection with the Transactions. This amount represents the direct and indirect costs associated with maintaining these two redundant facilities.

        Purchase Accounting Effects.    The acquisitions of Medtech, Spic and Span and Prestige have been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting under SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." As a result, these acquisitions will affect our future results of operations in certain significant respects. The aggregate acquisition consideration has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed by us based upon their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. In addition, due to the effects of the increased borrowings to finance the acquisitions, our interest expense will increase significantly in the periods following the acquisitions. For more information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

The period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 (the predecessor period) and the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 (the successor period) compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003

        The information presented below for net sales, gross profit and contribution margin for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 compared to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 is derived from comparing (1) the historical financial statements of the predecessor company for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to (2) the sum of the historical financial statements of the predecessor company for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 plus the results of Prestige International for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004.

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $11.5 million, or 15.0%, from $76.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $87.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net sales included a $12.3 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and the $2.1 million impact of Spic and Span (Household Cleaning Segment) from the date of acquisition (March 5, 2004), partially offset by a $2.9 million decrease in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales increased by $12.3 million, or 28.5%, from $43.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $55.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2004. The increase in net sales was primarily due to new products introduced during the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. New products, led by Compound W Freeze Off, contributed $10.6 million of the increase. The remainder of the increase was driven by increased domestic sales of: (i) Compound W of $0.7 million, or 5.2%, from $13.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $14.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 due to increasing market share; and (ii) New Skin of $0.8 million, or 9.2%, from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $9.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004 driven by high levels of advertising by Johnson & Johnson in support of their liquid bandage product. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Dermoplast sales of $0.6 million, or 6.9%, from $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was due to lower demand in the beginning of fiscal 2004 the year for the hospital product following a very strong March 2003 due to wholesale accounts purchasing heavily in advance of a price increase.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales decreased by $2.9 million, or 8.9%, from $32.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $29.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to Denorex, which experienced a sales decline of $2.7 million, or 17.4%, from $15.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $12.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The sales decline resulted from a decrease in market share.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $2.6 million, or 5.5%, from $49.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $51.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit included a $4.3 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and a $0.9 million increase due to the impact of Spic and Span within the new Household Cleaning segment effective March 5, 2004, partially offset by a $2.5 million decrease in the Personal Care Category. Included in the cost of goods sold for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 was a $1.8 million charge related to the step-up of inventory at the time of the acquisition of the business by GTCR.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $4.3 million, or 14%, from $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $34.9 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the sales increase partially offset by the increased cost of goods related to the inventory step-up at the time of the acquisition. Excluding the acquisition related expenses of $1.2 million, gross profit as a percent of net sales declined from 70.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to 64.8% for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The

54



percentage decline is due to the very strong sales of Compound W Freeze Off, which has a higher cost of goods as a percent of sales than the other products in the category.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit decreased by $2.5 million, or 13.8%, from $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $15.5 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. Excluding the acquisition related expense of $0.6 million, gross profit as a percent of sales decreased slightly, from 54.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to 53.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The decline is due to product mix as the Denorex line, which experienced a sales decline of $2.7 million as previously discussed, has a higher gross profit margin than the rest of the products in the Personal Care line.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $2.7 million, or 7.7%, from $34.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $37.4 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The net increase in contribution margin included a $4.4 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and $0.7 million of contribution margin related to Spic and Span (Household Cleaning Category), partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $4.4 million, or 18.8%, from $23.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $27.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the gross profit increase discussed above.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $2.4 million, or 21.2%, from $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 to $8.7 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in contribution margin was due to the gross profit decrease discussed above.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses were $12.1 million (15.9% of net sales) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $9.4 million (13.7% of net sales) for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $1.6 million (8.8% of net sales) for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The overall decrease in gross general and administrative dollars and as a percentage of sales over each period is due primarily to the company's ability to add Spic and Span with virtually no incremental overhead and the impact of increased sales on a relatively fixed base of general and administrative costs.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense was $5.3 million (6.9% of net sales) for the fiscal year end March 31, 2003, $4.5 million (6.5% of net sales) for the period from April 1 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $0.9 million (5.0% of net sales) for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The increase in gross dollars is due primarily to amortization of intangible assets related to the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense, net was $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003, $8.2 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and $1.7 million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The overall increase in interest expense, net, during the twelve months ended March 31, 2004 is due primarily to the increase in net indebtedness due to the Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span acquisitions.

        Other Expense (Income).    Other expense was $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The other expense in fiscal year 2003 was comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 was $1.7 million with an effective rate of 41.3%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to changes in the valuation allowance, state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit) and the amortization of intangible assets. The tax provision for the

55



period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 was $1.1 million with an effective rate of 37.1%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit).

Fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 compared to fiscal year ended March 31, 2002

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $30.2 million, or 65.4%, from $46.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $76.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales included a $12.2 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $18.2 million increase in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales increased by $12.2 million, or 39.2%, from $31.1 million for the year ended March 31, 2002 to $43.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales primarily relates to the impact of new products and management focus on the base business. Due to product enhancements such as Compound W One-Step pads and water proof pads combined with higher impact packaging and increased media and consumer promotion support, net sales for Compound W grew 29.2% from $11.5 million in fiscal year 2002 to $14.9 million in fiscal year 2003. New-Skin net sales more than doubled from $3.9 million in fiscal year 2002 to $9.2 million in fiscal year 2003. This increase was the result of increased levels of television advertising from previous years and heightened category awareness due to the introduction of Johnson & Johnson's Liquid Bandage. Dermoplast net sales increased 53.2% from $5.7 million in fiscal year 2002 to $8.7 million in fiscal year 2003. Of this increase $1.2 million resulted from a 5% price increase which was implemented for the hospital channel effective April 1, 2003. The anticipated price increase resulted in increased sales in March. The remaining $1.8 million increase in Dermoplast net sales resulted from increased distribution at retail.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales increased by $18.2 million, or 125.0%, from $14.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $32.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in net sales primarily relates to the acquisition of the Denorex brand in February 2002. Due to the timing of the acquisition, less than two months of sales activity was included in the fiscal year 2002 operating results, compared to a full year in 2003. Net sales attributable to Denorex increased $13.6 million, from $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $15.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The remaining net sales increase is due to moderate organic growth within all brands, primarily Cutex.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $21.5 million, or 78.0%, from $27.5 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $49.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit included a $9.0 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $12.6 million increase in the Personal Care Category. Gross margin increased from 59.5% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to 64.1% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. This is due in part to the increase in sales for the Over-the-Counter Drug Category that has a higher gross margin.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $9.0 million, or 41.7%, from $21.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $30.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due to the significant net sales increase, as well as an improvement in gross profit as a percentage of net sales. Gross margin increased from 69.6% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to 70.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 primarily due to favorable product mix as New-Skin has the highest profit margin of all products in the segment.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit increased by $12.6 million, or 236.1%, from $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $17.9 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due to the acquisition of the Denorex brand in February 2002. Denorex generated incremental gross profit of $8.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The remaining gross profit increase is due to an increase in Cutex sales. As a percentage of net sales, gross

56



profit improved from 36.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 54.7% in fiscal year 2003. The improvement is due to favorable product mix in fiscal year 2003, primarily resulting from the acquisition of Denorex.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $12.4 million, or 55.8%, from $22.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $34.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The net increase in contribution margin profit included a $5.9 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, and a $6.7 million increase in the Personal Care Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $5.9 million, or 34.3%, from $17.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $23.2 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in contribution margin was due to the improved gross profit discussed above, partially offset by a $3.1 million increase in A&P expenses. The increased A&P expenses are due to higher levels of television advertising, primarily related to the Compound W and New-Skin brands, as well as increased levels of consumer promotion across all brands. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin decreased from 55.6% in fiscal year 2002 to 53.7% in fiscal year 2003.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $6.7 million, or 149.8%, from $4.4 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $11.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in contribution margin is primarily due to the Denorex acquisition, which generated incremental contribution margin of $6.2 million in fiscal year 2003, as well as the reduced level of product returns at Cutex. As a percentage of sales, contribution margin increased from 30.4% in fiscal year 2002 to 33.8% in fiscal year 2003, which is due to favorable product mix, partially offset by increased A&P expenses associated with Denorex.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $3.5 million, or 40.8%, from $8.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $12.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a full year of Denorex activity during 2003 compared to approximately two months in 2002.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expense.    Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.3 million, or 32.1%, from $4.0 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2002 to $5.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase relates to the acquisition of Denorex.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense increased by $0.9 million, or 11.2% from $8.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 21, 2002 to $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. The increase was due to inclusion of a full year of Denorex debt interest expense, as compared to approximately two months in 2002.

        Other Expense (Income), net.    Other expenses of $0.7 million during fiscal year 2003 were comprised of a loss on extinguishment of debt.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for fiscal year 2003 was $3.9 million with an effective tax rate of 56.5%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to changes in the valuation allowance, the federal benefit of deductible state taxes, a change in the effective state tax rate and the amortization of intangible assets. The tax provision for fiscal year 2002 was $0.3 million with an effective tax rate of 33.2%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% relates primarily to the change in the effective state tax rate and the impact of placing a valuation allowance on the usage of the Denorex net operating loss carryforward.

        Discontinued Operations.    Results of discontinued operations was a loss of $5.6 million (net of tax) in fiscal year 2003 compared to a loss of less than $0.1 million (net of tax) in fiscal year 2002. The loss in fiscal year 2003 was attributed to loss from the discontinued Pecos reporting unit of $3.4 million (net of tax) coupled with a loss on disposal of Pecos of $2.2 million (net of tax).

Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003

        Net Sales.    Net sales declined by $0.9 million, or 2.5%, from $36.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $35.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net sales included decreases of $0.5 million in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, $0.3 million in the Personal Care Category and $0.1 million in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Net sales decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.8%, from $17.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in net sales was primarily due to Chloraseptic, which experienced a sales decline of $0.7 million, or 11.9%, from $5.8 million to $5.1 million. The decline in sales was attributable to the abrupt end of the cold and flu season in December 2003, resulting in declines for the sore throat category in the January to March 2004 period.

        Partially offsetting the Chloraseptic decline was an increase in sales for the Clear Eyes and Murine brands. Sales increased by $0.2 million, or 1.7%, from $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales declined by $0.3 million, or 15.6%, from $1.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of the discontinuation of the Prell Spa product line in late 2002.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Net sales decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.8%, from $16.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 due to an increase in allowances and coupon expenses related to new product introductions, partially offset by an increase in gross sales.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit decreased by $0.5 million, or 2.9%, from $16.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $16.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The net decrease in gross profit included an increase of $1.6 million in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and an increase of $0.1 million in the Personal Care Category, offset by a decrease of $2.2 million in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $1.6 million, or 16.8%, from $9.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in gross profit was due to the increased costs of goods related to Clear Eyes and Murine in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 attributable to an inventory write up of $1.8 million at the time of the acquisition from Abbott in December of 2002. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 was 66.4%. Excluding the $1.8 million of Clear Eyes and Murine inventory write up, the gross profit as a percent to sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was 65.6%. The improvement in the current quarter is due to product mix, as Clear Eyes/Murine generates a higher gross profit margin than Chloraseptic.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit increased by $0.1 million, or 14.9%, from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 despite the sales decrease. The increase in gross profit resulted from the lack of close-out sales in 2004. Sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 included a significant amount of the discontinued Prell Spa Shampoo and Conditioner which were sold at low margins.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Gross profit decreased by $2.2 million, or 34.5%, from $6.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the increase in couponing and trade promotion expenses discussed in net sales, above, and an increase in the reserve for obsolescence of $1.2 million over the reserve at the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin decreased by $1.1 million, or 8.9%, from $12.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $11.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The net decrease in contribution margin included a $2.7 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category and a $0.2 million increase in the Personal Care Category, offset by a $4.0 million decrease in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Contribution margin increased by $2.7 million, or 42.5%, from $6.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $9.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution is attributed to the $1.6 million increase in gross profit plus a decrease in Chloraseptic advertising of $0.9 million from $2.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.4 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $0.2 million, or 58.2%, from $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in contribution margin was due to the gross margin increase plus a reduction of $0.1 million in consumer promotion due to a change in advertising programs.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $4.0 million, or 70.7%, from $5.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in margin was due to the gross profit decline of $2.2 million and an increase in advertising and coupon placement expenses of $1.8 million from $0.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $2.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The increase in advertising in 2004 was in support of the new products launched in the fall of 2003.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses decreased by $0.5 million, or 20.0%, from $2.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $2.0 million for the

59



quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease was primarily due to the discontinuation of the Clear Eyes and Murine transition services agreement during the latter part of 2003. The transition services expense decreased from $0.5 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004.

        Depreciation and Amortization Expenses.    Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 23.5%, from $0.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in depreciation and amortization was due to a reduction in depreciation expenses.

        Interest Expense, net.    Interest expense, net decreased by $0.6 million, or 14.6%, from $4.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 to $4.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2004. The decrease in interest expense is a function of the outstanding debt, which decreased as a result of using excess cash flow to pay down debt since the quarter ended March 31, 2003.

        Income Taxes.    The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $1.9 million with an effective rate of 38.9%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes (net of federal income tax benefit). The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2003 was $1.8 million with an effective rate of 36.3%. The difference between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 34% and the effective rate relates primarily to state income taxes (net of federal tax benefit).

Year ended December 31, 2003 compared to year ended December 31, 2002

        Net Sales.    Net sales increased by $56.5 million, or 51.1%, from $110.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $167.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

The increase in net sales was primarily due to the acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine, which was effective December 30, 2002 and contributed $47.8 million of net sales to the year ended December 31, 2003. New product introductions, which increased market share and a strong cold and flu season attributed to an increase in Chloraseptic net sales of $8.7 million, or 32.6% from 2002 to 2003. The introduction of Relief Strips and the Pocket Pump contributed $3.7 million and $1.2 million to net sales, respectively.

        Personal Care Category.    Net sales declined by $1.8 million, or 20.7% from $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decline in net sales was primarily the result of the 2002 discontinuation of the Prell Spa product line.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Net sales increased by $1.8 million, or 2.4%, from $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $77.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in net sales was primarily the result of the introduction of Comet Clean and Flush in October 2003 representing $2.8 million of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2003. Prestige also introduced the Comet Orange Brite Bathroom Spray and Orange Oxygenated Soft Powder in 2003, which generated $0.7 million of net sales in the year ended December 31, 2003. The increases related to new products were partially offset by a decline in overall industry net sales for Comet's core category.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $32.3 million, or 62.0%, from $52.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $84.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The net increase in gross profit included a $34.0 million increase in the Over-the-Counter Drug Category, a $0.1 million

60



decrease in the Personal Care Category and a $1.6 million decrease in the Household Cleaning Category.

        Over-the-Counter Drug Category.    Gross profit increased by $34.0 million, or 198.3%, from $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $51.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The increase in gross profit was due, in part, to inclusion of a full fiscal year of Clear eyes and Murine sales in 2003. New product introductions contributed $2.4 million to 2003 gross profit with Relief Strips and Pocket Pump contributing $1.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Increased gross profit of Chloraseptic contributed $3.2 million. Overall gross margin declined from 64.0% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 61.5% for 2003. This decline was due to lower margins on Chloraseptic as a result of higher than normal product liquidations, which generated lower margins as well as higher costs associated with the new Chloraseptic products.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit decreased by $0.1 million, or 4.8%, from $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decline in gross profit was due to a decline in sales. Gross margin increased from 32.6% to 39.2% for the year ended December 31, 2003.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Gross profit decreased by $1.6 million, or 5.1%, from $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $30.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The gross profit attributable to Comet Clean and Flush was $1.1 million in 2003, which was more than offset by lower gross profit margins on other products. Gross profit as a percent of net sales decreased from 42.7% for the year ended December 31, 2002 to 39.6% for the year ended December 31, 2003 as a result of changes in product mix and higher discounts.

        Contribution Margin.    Contribution margin increased by $22.9 million, or 54.5%, from $42.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $64.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.

A&P expenses increased $7.1 million, or 144.9%, from $4.9 million to $12.0 million, which was attributable to $6.3 million for Clear eyes and Murine as well as $0.8 million for Chloraseptic. Overall contribution margin as a percentage of net sales increased from 45.7% to 47.1% for the year ended December 31, 2002 versus 2003. This increase was the result of adding the Clear eyes and Murine product line.

        Personal Care Category.    Contribution margin increased by $0.5 million, or 51.1%, from $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. A&P expenses declined $0.6 million, or 32.2%, from $1.8 million to $1.2 million during the period, which was due to an overall reduction in Prell brand spending.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Contribution margin decreased by $4.5 million, or 15.6%, from $28.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $24.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The decrease in contribution margin was primarily due to an increase in A&P expenses of $2.9 million, or 84.6%, from $3.4 million to $6.3 million. Comet Clean and Flush product development and marketing costs totaling $1.2 million as well as a mid-year advertising campaign for Comet Spray contributed to the higher A&P expenses. Overall contribution margin as a percentage of net sales declined from 38.2% to 31.5% for these reasons.

        General and Administrative Expenses.    General and administrative expenses increased by $4.1 million, or 75.2%, from $5.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002 to $9.7 million for the

        Household Cleaning Category.    Net sales increased by $56.9 million, or 307.4%, from $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $75.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The increase in net sales was due to the acquisition of Comet by Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. effective October 2, 2001, which resulted in the inclusion of only three months of post-acquisition results in 2001 compared with a full year in 2002.

        Gross Profit.    Gross profit increased by $23.6 million, or 83.0%, from $28.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $52.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The increase in gross profit was due to a slight cost reduction in 2002, which resulted in a gross margin increase from 62.4% to 64.0%.

        Personal Care Category.    Gross profit decreased $0.8 million, or 21.5%, from $3.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Gross margin, as a percentage of net sales, declined from 37.8% in 2001 to 32.6% in 2002.

        Household Cleaning Category.    Gross profit increased by $24.2 million, or 303.3%, from $8.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2001 to $32.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2002.

The decline in contribution margin was due to an increase in A&P expenses of $0.8 million, or 20.5%, from $4.1 million in 2001 to $4.9 million in 2002, which was due to increased spending for TV media and promotion. The remaining fluctuation in contribution margin was the result of factors previously discussed.

The increase in contribution margin was due, in part, to a decline in A&P expenses of $1.3 million, or 40.0%, from $3.1 million in 2001 to $1.8 million in 2002, which was due to the elimination of the Prell Spa line A&P spending.

Operating Activities

        Period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 and the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004.    Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities was $7.8 million for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004, compared to $(1.7) million for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 were primarily the result of net income of $2.4 million adjusted for non-cash items of $7.9 million, partially offset by net changes in working capital of ($2.5) million. The $2.5 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to a $3.4 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due primarily to reductions in the reserve for Pecos returns, an increase of $2.3 million in inventory due primarily to new product launches and a decrease of $3.1 million in accounts receivable. The cash flows used in operating activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 were primarily the result of changes in working capital of ($5.3) million partially offset by net income of $1.8 million adjusted for non-cash items of $1.8 million. The $5.3 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.0 million, a $3.1 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the payment of $2.7 million of bonuses to management in connection with the acquisition of Medtech, and a $1.1 million decrease in inventory.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash provided by operating activities was $12.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, compared to $3.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2002.

The $5.2 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to a $3.9 million decrease in inventory due to better supply chain management and a $2.6 million increase in accrued expenses. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2002 were primarily the result of $0.6 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $6.7 million. The remaining net decrease of $3.3 million is due to an increase in inventory of $2.8 which is attributed to the acquisition of Denorex in February 2002.

Net cash used in investing activities for the period from April 1, 2003 through February 5, 2004 is primarily the result of expenditures of $0.5 million related to payments for an option to purchase the rights to certain Medtech products. Net cash used in investing activities for the

64



period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 is the result of the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span during the period partially offset by the release of $0.7 million of previously restricted cash related to the Pecos divestiture in March 2003.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash used in investing activities of Medtech was $2.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2003, compared to net cash used of $4.4 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Net cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2003 is primarily the result of restricted cash ($0.7 million) related to the Pecos divestiture in March 2003, capital expenditures of $0.4 million, expenditures of $0.2 million for an option to purchase the rights to certain Medtech products and expenditures of $0.8 million related to direct acquisition costs of Denorex.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the period from February 6, 2004 through March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of capital contributions received of $100.4 million and a net increase in indebtedness of $74.6 million directly as a result of the acquisitions of Medtech/Denorex and Spic and Span.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the year ended March 31, 2003 was $(14.7) million compared to $5.5 million for the year ended March 31, 2002. Cash flows used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003 were attributed to scheduled pay down of the Medtech's senior bank facilities. The cash flows provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2002 were attributed to a $13.0 million stock issuance in connection with the Denorex acquisition in February 2002 partially offset by scheduled payments on outstanding debt.

The cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 were primarily the result of net income of $3.0 million adjusted for non cash items of $3.2 million and net changes in working capital of $1.3 million. The $1.3 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to a decrease in accounts receivable of $8.5 million offset by increases in inventory, prepaid expenses and decreases in accrued expenses. The decrease in accounts receivable is attributable to stricter credit terms and lower sales. The cash flows used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 were primarily the result of net income of $3.1 million adjusted for non cash items of $3.2 million and a net change in working capital of $2.1 million. The $2.1 million net decrease in working capital can be attributed to an increase in accrued expenses and a decrease in inventories offset by a decrease in accounts payable.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash provided by operating activities of Prestige was $35.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to $22.0 million for the year ended

65



December 31, 2002. The cash flows provided by operating activities for the fiscal year 2003 were primarily the result of net income of $22.3 million adjusted for non-cash items of $12.1 million, coupled with net changes in working capital of $0.6 million. The $0.6 million net increase in working capital can be attributed to a $7.5 million increase in accounts receivable primarily as a result of the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands. Offsetting the increase in receivables are decreases in inventory of $1.8 million and increases in accrued expenses of $2.1 million. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2002 were primarily the result of $16.6 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $6.1 million. The remaining net decrease of $0.7 million is primarily due to increases in accounts receivable ($5.5 million) and inventory ($3.6 million) offset by increases in accounts payable ($6.6 million) resulting from the acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands.

        Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001.    Net cash provided by operating activities of Prestige was $22.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2002 were the result of the factors described above. The cash flows provided by operating activities for fiscal year 2001 were primarily the result of $3.1 million of net income adjusted for non-cash items of $7.6 million. The remaining net decrease of $0.8 million is due to increases in accounts receivable ($1.5 million) and inventory ($2.1 million) offset by increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.0 million resulting from the acquisition of the Comet brand from Procter & Gamble on October 2, 2001.

Investing Activities

        Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003.    Net cash used in investing activities was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of capital expenditures of $0.1 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is the result of capital expenditures of $0.1 million and the acquisition of Clear Eyes/Murine brands of $0.1 million.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash used in investing activities of Prestige was $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, compared to net cash used of $110.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of the 2002 acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine brands.

        Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001.    Net cash used in investing activities of Prestige was $110.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2002, compared to net cash used of $144.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily the result of cash used for the 2002 acquisition of Clear eyes and Murine brands as compared to the 2001 acquisition of the Comet brand.

Financing Activities.

        Three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to three months ended March 31, 2003.    Net cash used in financing activities was $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $7.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2004 is primarily the result of payments on long term debt. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2003 is primarily the result of the repurchase and retirement of common stock for $13.3 million offset by net borrowings of $6.4 million.

        Fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002.    Net cash used in financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $(34.4) million, compared to cash provided of $95.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2002. Cash flows used in financing activities during fiscal year 2003 were primarily

66


attributable to a net pay down of the Prestige's senior bank facilities ($20.6 million) and repurchases of common stock ($13.3 million). The cash flows provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2002 were primarily attributable to debt and equity issuances associated with the 2002 Clear eyes and Murine brand acquisition.

        Fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001.    Net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $95.6 million, compared to $134.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2001. Cash flows provided by financing activities during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were the result of the factors described above. This cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2001 is primarily attributable to debt and equity issuances associated with the October 2001 Comet brand acquisition.

Tax Attributes

        We have significant tax attributes in the form of amortizable intangibles (with varying remaining lives of between 7 and 15 years), related to the structuring of certain of our brand acquisitions, and net operating loss carry-forwards (NOLs), subject to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. These tax attributes may be used to offset future taxable income. The individual companies had the following tax attributes:

 
  Amortizable
Intangibles

  NOLs
Medtech (as of March 31, 2004)   $ 54,663   $ 16,364
Denorex (as of March 31, 2004)     19,785     4,973
Prestige (as of December 31, 2003)     271,017    
Spic and Span (as of March 31, 2004)     26,415     1,888

Pro Forma Capital Resources After the Prestige Acquisition

        In connection with the Prestige Acquisition, we entered into a new revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $50.0 million, $3.5 million of which was outstanding upon consummation of the Prestige Acquisition. The revolving credit facility is secured by first priority pledges of all of the equity interests owned by the issuer and the guarantors in their respective domestic subsidiaries and 65% of all equity interests in their foreign subsidiaries, if any. The revolving credit facility is also secured by first priority interests in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets of the issuer and the guarantors. The revolving credit facility is available until March 2009.

        The indenture governing the notes and the revolving credit facility, among other things, (a) restrict the ability of the issuer and the guarantors of the notes, to incur additional indebtedness, issue shares of preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends or make certain other restricted payments and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, (b) prohibit certain restrictions on the ability of certain of the issuer's subsidiaries, including certain of the guarantors of the notes, to pay dividends or make certain payments to the issuer and (c) place restrictions on the ability of the issuer and its subsidiaries, including certain of the guarantors of the notes, to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the issuer. The indenture related to the notes and the revolving credit facility also contain various covenants which limit our discretion in the operation of our businesses.

        Our principal sources of funds are anticipated to be cash flows from operating activities and available borrowings under the revolving credit facility. We believe that these funds will provide us with sufficient liquidity and capital resources for us to meet our current and future financial obligations, as well as to provide funds for working capital, capital expenditures and other needs for at least the next

67



12 months. No assurance can be given, however, that this will be the case. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available when required or, if available, will be on terms satisfactory to us.

Pro Forma Commitments

        On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Prestige Acquisition, we had ongoing commitments under various contractual and commercial obligations as of March 31, 2004, as follows:

 
  Payments Due by Period
Contractual Obligations

  Total
  Less than
1 year

  1 to 3
years

  4 to 5
years

  After 5
years

 
  (in millions)

Long-term debt   $ 668.5   $ 3.5   $ 7.1   $ 7.1   $ 650.8
Operating leases     1.1     0.6     0.5        
   
 
 
 
 
Total contractual cash obligations   $ 669.6   $ 4.1   $ 7.6   $ 7.1   $ 650.8
   
 
 
 
 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or financing activities with special-purpose entities.

Inflation

        Inflationary factors such as increases in the costs of raw materials, packaging materials, purchased product and overhead may adversely affect our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations for the periods referred to above, there can be no assurance that a high rate of inflation in the future would not have an adverse effect on us and our operating results.

Pro Forma Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        We are exposed to changes in interest rates because our senior credit facility is variable rate debt. Interest rate changes therefore generally do not affect the market value of such debt but do impact the amount of our interest payments and, therefore, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant. As of March 31, 2004, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Prestige Acquisition, we would have had variable rate debt of approximately $458.5 million. Holding other variables constant, including levels of indebtedness, a one percentage point increase in interest rates on our variable debt would have had an estimated impact on pre-tax earnings and cash flows for the next year of approximately $4.6 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

        The significant accounting policies are described in the notes of each of the audited financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. All companies presented herein utilize the same critical accounting policies, except as otherwise stated. While all significant accounting policies are important to our consolidated financial statements, some of these policies may be viewed as being critical. Such policies are those that are both most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and require our most difficult, subjective and complex estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates are based upon our historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ

68



materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most critical accounting policies are as follows:

        Accounts Receivable.    Non-interest bearing trade credit is extended to customers in the ordinary course of business. We record accounts receivable at the invoice price and provide for estimated discounts, returns and allowances at the time of sale. Uncollectible accounts are charged against the allowance in the period management determines that they are uncollectible.

        Inventories.    Inventories, primarily comprised of finished goods, are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. Shipping and handling expenses are recognized as a component of cost of sales.

        Goodwill.    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142") became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2001. Through March 31, 2002 for Medtech and Denorex and January 1, 2002 for Prestige and Spic and Span, goodwill, the excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition, was amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years (Medtech), 20 years (Prestige), and 30 years (Spic and Span). Effective upon adoption of SFAS 142 we ceased amortization of goodwill. The provisions of SFAS 142 also required us to discontinue the amortization of the cost of intangible assets with indefinite lives and perform certain fair-value-based tests of the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets upon adoption and thereafter at least annually.

        Revenue Recognition.    Revenues are recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer discounts, returns and allowances at the time of sale based on historical experience. Revenue is recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes and Murine brands under transition service agreements with the prior owner and prior to satisfaction of regulatory requirements for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as Prestige was not the primary obligor under this arrangement.

        Advertising.    The cost of advertising is expensed in the fiscal year in which the related advertising takes place. Production and communication costs are expensed in the period in which the related advertising begins running.

        Derivative Instruments.    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133") became effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. SFAS 133 was adopted by Medtech on April 1, 2001, Prestige and Spic and Span on January 1, 2001. SFAS 133 requires companies to recognize all of their derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.

        Certain derivative financial instruments are designated as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk) in our financial statements. For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)," FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the Company will be required to apply FIN 46R as of the date it first becomes involved with the entity. FIN 46R is effective for the Company for entities created before December 31, 2003, for year ending March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under SFAS No. 150, an issuer is required to classify financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares and financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation, as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2004. On November 7, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. This deferral is expected to remain in effect while these provisions are further evaluated by the FASB. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

BUSINESS

Our Business

        We are a leading branded consumer products company with a diversified portfolio of well-recognized brands in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. Our core brands have established high levels of consumer awareness and strong retail distribution across all major channels. Approximately 65% of our combined sales for the year ended March 31, 2004 are from products that have a number one market share position.

Based on volumes sold in the U.S. market.

        We have grown our company by acquiring strong and well-recognized brands from larger consumer products and pharmaceutical companies. We believe that these brands were considered non-core under previous ownership and, in most cases, did not benefit from the focus of senior level management or strong brand support. Our management has taken advantage of this opportunity by providing each acquired brand with the marketing support and senior level attention necessary to enhance the brand's market position, expand its distribution and successfully launch line extensions and new products.

        Our core competencies are marketing, sales, customer service and product development. We outsource manufacturing, warehousing, distribution and logistics to experienced, low-cost third-party providers. This outsourcing model enables us to:

    continue to focus on building and maintaining significant brand equities;

    benefit from the economies of scale of our third-party providers;

    maintain a highly variable cost structure, minimal capital expenditures, low working capital and strong free cash flow; and

    leverage the product development and manufacturing expertise of our suppliers to meet the demands of our customers and end consumers, including the timely introduction of new products.

        Our products are sold by mass merchandisers and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. We have a well-balanced mix across all of our classes of trade and we have been expanding our sales in high-growth club and dollar stores by introducing customized packaging for those channels. Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, which accounted for approximately 83.3% of our combined gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. After giving effect to the Transactions, we had net sales of $272.7 million,

71


$17.1 million of income from continuing operations and EBITDA of $84.2 million for the year ended March 31, 2004.

Competitive Strengths

        Diversified Portfolio of Leading Brands.    We own and market leading brands that have high levels of consumer brand awareness and widespread retail distribution. Approximately 65% of our combined gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004 are from number one brands, including Comet, Chloraseptic, Compound W, Cutex, New-Skin, Murine and Dermoplast. On average, our major brands were established over 45 years ago and have strong brand equity. For example:

    Chloraseptic, our largest over-the-counter drug brand, was originally introduced in 1957. It is the number one doctor and pharmacist recommended brand in the sore throat relief category, with approximately 79% brand awareness, a 57% market share in the sprays/liquids segment and an ACV of 81%.

    Comet, our largest household cleaning brand, was originally introduced in 1956. Comet products have the number one and number two stock keeping units, or "SKUs," in the household cleaning category, have approximately 97% brand awareness, a 42% market share in the household cleaner category and an ACV of 96% by volume.

    Cutex, our largest personal care brand, was originally introduced in 1916. It has no significant branded competition and is the market leader in the nail polish remover category, with a market share of approximately 20% and an ACV of 94%.

        Strong Operating Margins and Stable Cash Flows.    Our leading brands and efficient operating model enable us to generate strong operating margins and stable cash flows. Our operating model, which focuses on our core competencies and outsources non-core functions to third parties, enables us to benefit from third-party economies of scale in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution. We are therefore able to maintain low overhead and a highly variable cost structure with low working capital investment and negligible capital expenditures. Our presence across three major categories and numerous smaller market niches provides us with a favorable product mix and enhances the stability of our cash flows. In addition, we have available beneficial tax attributes that we intend to use to reduce future tax payments, increasing our cash flows. We believe our diversified portfolio of brands and our operating model will enable us to generate strong and consistent cash flows.

        Stable and Attractive Industry Segments.    We compete in the over-the-counter drug, household cleaning and personal care categories. We believe these categories to be growing and relatively resistant to economic downturn. Our core products are consumer staples and generally are not as subject to changing consumer preferences as other discretionary consumer products. We target brands in categories that generally receive less focus from large consumer products and pharmaceutical companies and are highly responsive to product innovations, which facilitates category expansion. We believe barriers to entry are high due to our leading market position and high consumer awareness of our brands. Finally, our products are important to retailers due to their ability to drive consumer traffic and generate attractive margins. This enables us to maintain close and lasting relationships with all of our top customers.

        Proven Sales Growth Capability.    We capitalize on our brands' high consumer awareness by systematically introducing new products and line extensions in order to extend our brands and grow sales. New product introductions are important because they enhance overall brand awareness and broaden distribution. We have demonstrated the underlying strength of our brands and the effectiveness of this strategy through line extensions, which expand product usage by adding new

72



delivery methods or introducing products in related categories. Recent examples of line extensions include:

    Compound W Freeze Off, a cryogenic wart removal product which allows consumers to use a wart freezing treatment similar to that used by doctors;

    Chloraseptic Relief Strips, which combine popular dissolvable strips and Chloraseptic's professionally recommended medicine, and Chloraseptic's spray for the treatment of mouth pain;

    New-Skin's introduction of a scar therapy product;

    Cutex's introduction of Twister™, a portable and spill-proof nail polish remover;

    Cutex's expansion beyond nail polish removal to general nail care;

    Spic and Span's expansion from a leading dilutable cleaner into disinfecting wipes; and

    Denorex's expansion into the treatment of psoriasis.

        Experienced Senior Management Team with Proven Ability to Acquire, Integrate and Grow Brands.    Led by Chief Executive Officer Peter Mann, we have an experienced senior management team averaging over 30 years of experience in marketing, sales, customer service and product development. Peter Mann and his management team have successfully managed the Medtech and Spic and Span businesses and have been responsible for integrating numerous brands into the portfolio. Unlike many large consumer products companies, which we believe often entrust their smaller brands to rotating junior employees, our experienced managers are dedicated to specific brands and remain with those brands as they grow and evolve.

Business Strategy

        Our business strategy is to leverage our core competencies of marketing, sales, customer service and product development to drive growth and to continue to enhance brand equity. We plan to execute this strategy through:

    Maintaining and Growing Our Significant Brand Equity.  We have a broad portfolio of strong brands with leading market positions and high levels of consumer awareness. We will continue to use our high gross margins to reinvest in advertising and promotion to continue to drive our strong brand equities. We will continue to support our brands through focused and creative marketing strategies. Our marketing programs include advertising, targeted couponing programs and in-store advertising.

    Creating Successful Line Extensions and Innovative New Products.  We believe that our brands' high consumer awareness and our focus on marketing and product development, coupled with the difficulty of creating new competing brands, provides a unique opportunity for us to extend our brands through line extensions. For example, we launched Compound W Freeze Off and Chloraseptic Relief Strips in July 2003. Through March 31, 2004, these products contributed approximately $15.5 million to our gross sales. As we have done with Compound W Freeze Off and Chloraseptic Strips, we plan to continue the strong momentum of our new product development initiatives and introduce several new products and line extensions in the coming years.

    Increasing Distribution in High-Growth Channels.  Our broad and diversified distribution capabilities enable us to participate in changing consumer retail trends. Recently, we have expanded our sales in higher growth dollar and club stores by introducing packaging and sizes customized for these channels. As a result, sales to our dollar and club store customers for the most recent fiscal year ended increased approximately 29.2% from the previous fiscal year

73


      ended. We intend to continue to focus our efforts and resources on these key growth channels to drive growth in our business.

    Pursue Strategic Acquisitions. We intend to pursue strategic add-on acquisitions that enhance our product portfolio. Our outsourced manufacturing business model allows us to add new brands with relatively simple business integration while providing opportunities to realize significant cost savings. We intend to pursue highly complimentary market leading brands that further diversify our category, customer and channel focus. We have successfully integrated multiple individual brands at our predecessor companies and believe that the robust pipeline of highly strategic potential targets provides an opportunity to create shareholder value.

Products

    Over-the Counter Drug Category.

        Our portfolio of over-the-counter drugs consists of Clear eyes, Murine, Chloraseptic, the Compound W wart removal products and first aid products such as New-Skin and Dermoplast. Other niche brands in this category include Percogesic and Momentum, Freezone, Mosco and Outgro, Sleepeze, Compoz® and Heet. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the over-the-counter drugs category accounted for 50.9% of our net sales.

        Clear eyes and Murine.    Prestige purchased the Clear eyes and Murine brands from Abbott Laboratories in December 2002. Since its introduction in 1968, the Clear eyes brand has been marketed as an effective eye care product that helps take redness away and helps moisturize the eye. Clear eyes has a brand awareness of 89% and an ACV of 93%. The Murine brand is over 100 years old. Murine products consist of both lubricating and soothing eye drops and ear wax removal aids. Murine products have an ACV of 61.2%.

        Clear eyes, Murine Tears and Murine Ear Care are leading brands in the over-the-counter personal eye and ear care categories. The global eye care category had $1.2 billion in sales in 2002, according to Nicholas Hall 2003 Research, with the United States generating 29% of the total. Clear eyes has the number one selling SKU in redness relief eye drops and is the number two brand in that category with 19.2% volume share. The United States ear drop category had approximately $44 million in sales in 2003 and is composed of products that loosen earwax and products that treat trapped water (swimmer's ear). Murine is the number one United States ear care brand with 18% dollar share as of March 31, 2004. Additionally, Murine Tears is well positioned in the fast-growing artificial tears segment.

        Chloraseptic.    Prestige acquired Chloraseptic in March 2000 from Procter & Gamble. Chloraseptic was originally developed by a dentist in 1957 to relieve sore throats and mouth pain. Chloraseptic is the number one doctor and pharmacist recommended branded in the store throat relief category. Chloraseptic has an 79% brand awareness and an ACV of 81%.

        The sore throat remedy category is divided into two segments: liquids/sprays and lozenges. The liquids/sprays subcategory is a $47.1 million market (as of September 7, 2003) and the lozenges segment is believed to be a $39.2 market. Chloraseptic products are the number one SKU in the sore throat liquids/sprays segment and the number two SKU in the sore throat lozenges segment. The Chloraseptic brand is number one in sore throat liquids/sprays with 57% dollar share and number four in sore throat lozenges with 6% dollar share.

        Historically, Chloraseptic products were limited to sore throat lozenges and traditional sore throat sprays that were stored and used at home. Since its acquisition by Prestige, the Chloraseptic product line has been expanded to also include portable sprays, gargle, mouth pain sprays and relief strips introduced in July 2003 that combine popular dissolvable strips with Chloraseptic's professionally recommended medicine. These product introductions enable us to market Chloraseptic products as a system, encourage consumers to buy multiple SKUs and increase volume for the entire product line.

        Compound W.    Medtech acquired Compound W from American Home Products in 1996. The Compound W brand has a long heritage; its wart removal products having been introduced almost 50 years ago. Compound W products are specially designed to provide relief of common and plantar warts and is sold in multiple forms of treatment depending on the consumer's need, including Fast-Acting Liquid, Fast-Acting Gel, One Step Pads for Kids, One Step Pads for Adults and Freeze Off. We believe that Compound W is one of the most trusted names in wart removal, as evidenced by "the pharmacist recommended solution for removing common skin warts" recognition to its Fast-Acting Liquid product. The Compound W products have a brand awareness of 81% and a strong ACV of 84%.

        Compound W competes in what we believe to be the $75 million wart remover category. Compound W is the number one wart removal brand in the United States with a 33% dollar share of the category for the four week period ended April 18, 2004.

        Since Compound W's acquisition, we have successfully expanded the wart remover category and enhanced the Compound W brand equity by introducing several new products. On July 1, 2003, we introduced a cryogenic wart removal product, Compound W Freeze Off, which allows consumers to use a wart freezing treatment similar to that used by doctors. To date, Compound W Freeze Off has achieved high trade acceptance and achieved $11.3 million in sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2004. We have also extended the Compound W brand by introducing Fast Acting Liquid, One Step Pads for Kids and Waterproof One Step Pads.

        New-Skin.    The brand has a long heritage, with the core product believed by management to be over 100 years old. New-Skin products consist of liquid bandages for small cuts and scrapes that are designed to replace traditional bandages in an effective and easy to use form. The New-Skin line has three products: New-Skin Liquid Bandage, New-Skin Burn Relief and New-Skin Wound and Blister Dressing. Each product works by drying and creating a thin, clear, protective covering when applied to the skin. The New-Skin products have an 87% ACV rating.

        New-Skin competes in what we believe to be the approximately $30 million liquid bandage segment of the first aid bandage category. Within this segment, New-Skin has a 45% unit share with a number one ranking, ahead of Johnson & Johnson's Band Aid® Liquid Bandage™ product.

        Dermoplast.    Medtech acquired Dermoplast from American Home Products in 1996. Dermoplast is an aerosol spray anesthetic for minor topical pain that was traditionally a "hospital-only" brand dispensed to mothers after giving birth. The primary use in hospitals is for post episiotomy pain, post-partum hemorrhoidal pain, and for the relief of female genital itching. Dermoplast enjoys broad distribution across the drug and mass merchandise channels, with an ACV level of 64%.

        Dermoplast competes in what we estimate to be the $25 million spray segment of the $375 million first aid ointment category. Dermoplast is currently the number one brand in hospital pain relieving spray in the United States.

        Since Dermoplast's acquisition, Medtech introduced retail versions of the products, a move that effectively doubled the size of the business. In addition to the traditional hospital uses mentioned above, Dermoplast offers sanitary, convenient first aid relief for pain and itching from minor skin irritations, sunburn, insect bites, minor cuts, scrapes and burns. The products are currently offered in two formulas: regular strength and antibacterial strength.

    Household Cleaning Category.

        Our portfolio of household cleaning brands includes the Comet and Spic and Span brands. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the household cleaning category accounted for 35.7% of our net sales.

        Comet.    Prestige acquired Comet from Procter & Gamble in October 2001. Comet was originally introduced in 1956 and is one of the most widely recognized household cleaning brands, with

75



approximately 97% brand awareness and an ACV of 96%. Comet products include different varieties of cleaning powders, sprays, gels, creams and toilet cleaners and are found in approximately 61% of all United States homes, each of which have at least one Comet product.

        Comet competes in what we believe to be the $370 million abrasive and non-abrasive tub/tile cleaner sub-category of the $1.7 billion household cleaning category (including sales to Wal-Mart and dollar stores). Comet is the number one powder cleanser in the household cleaner category with an estimated 50% volume share. The abrasive tub/tile cleaner sub-category is Comet's primary market. The top three brands in this market are Comet, Clorox's Soft Scrub and Colgate Palmolive's Ajax®. Comet is the number one brand in this category with 42% unit volume share at April 18, 2004 and maintains a number two position behind Clorox's Soft Scrub® in dollar share. The non-abrasive tub and tile cleaner segment is more fragmented and competitive than the abrasive segment. Comet ranks fifth by volume share in this segment behind the Scrubbing Bubbles®, Tilex®, Lysol® and Scrub Free® brands. Comet has been attempting to build momentum in its efforts to increase its share in the fragmented non-abrasive tub and tile cleaner segment through focused advertising and promotions, including free-standing insert coupons, hang collar coupons and television advertising.

        Since Comet's acquisition, Prestige has expanded the brand's distribution, increased advertising and promotion and implemented focused marketing initiatives. Further, under Prestige ownership, Comet has seen multiple new product introductions to extend the brand into new categories and increase usage. Some of the significant recent product launches include Comet Clean and Flush introduced in October 2003 to extend the Comet brand into toilet cleaning category, and Comet Orange Brite™ Bathroom Spray and Orange Oxygenated Soft Powder products introduced in June 2003 as line extensions for existing Comet sprays and powders. These and other new products are aimed at extending Comet's brand equity by promoting Comet as a comprehensive cleaning system of powders, sprays, creams and toilet cleaners.

        Spic and Span.    Spic and Span was introduced to the market in 1925 and is marketed as the complete home cleaner with four product lines consisting of dilutables, hard surface sprays, soft powder and disinfecting wipes, all of which can be use for multi-room and multi-surface cleaning. As of December 31, 2003, Spic and Span had an ACV of 86% and a 95% brand awareness. Since its acquisition from Procter & Gamble in January 2001, the product line has grown from eight SKUs to 34 SKUs and we have increased advertising and promotional efforts supporting the products.

    Personal Care Category.

        Our portfolio of personal care brands includes the brands of Denorex dandruff shampoo, Cutex nail products and Prell shampoo. Other brands in this category include Ezo denture cushion, Oxipor VHC skin-care lotion, Cloverine® skin salve, Zincon shampoo and Kerodex barrier cream. For the year ended March 31, 2004, the personal care category accounted for 13.4% of our net sales.

        Denorex.    Denorex was acquired by Medtech from American Home Products in February 2002. The Denorex brand was originally launched in 1971 by American Home Products to compete in the then new "therapeutic" segment of the medicated shampoo category. The Denorex brand has strong consumer awareness as an effective solution to scalp problems, as illustrated by its 81% brand awareness and an ACV of 76%. The current lineup of Denorex products includes Extra Strength and Extra Strength with Conditioner, Therapeutic Strength and Therapeutic Strength with Conditioner, and the Advanced Formula that was recently renamed as the Everyday Formula to attract moderate dandruff sufferers.

        The medicated shampoo market in the United States is large, consisting of what we believe to be approximately 50 million people, or 18% of the population, suffering from dandruff. Denorex competes in what we believe to be the $160 million therapeutic segment of what management estimates to be the

76



$350 million dandruff shampoo category. Within the therapeutic shampoo segment Denorex has a 12% dollar share competing with McNeil-PPC's Nizoral®, Chattem's Selsun Blue® and Neutrogena's T-Gel.

        Cutex.    Cutex is an old and, we believe, trusted brand, synonymous with its core products' key function: nail polish removal. Cutex has an ACV rating of 94%. Cutex has four product lines: Quick and Gentle Liquid Nail Polish Remover, Cutex Essential Care Advanced Liquid, Essential Care Advanced Nail Polish Remover Pads and Quick and Gentle Instant Jar Nail Polish Removers.

        Cutex is the number one brand in the $54 million nail polish remover category. Cutex has a leading 20% dollar share of the category. The main competition is private label.

        Cutex is currently introducing a nail treatment line with a variety of new and innovative products, designed to meet consumer needs. The nail treatment category is similar to that of nail polish remover and is estimated by management to be approximately $70 million. The category offers a higher retail selling price and profitability compared to the nail polish remover category.

        Prell.    Prestige acquired Prell from Procter & Gamble in November 1999. Prell was launched in 1947 and is a highly recognized shampoo brand with approximately 88% brand awareness and an ACV of 73%. We believe Prell has a loyal base of consumers seeking shampoo at the mid-price point segment.

        Prell competes in the $1.3 billion shampoo segment in the United States. The shampoo category is fragmented and populated by hundreds of brands. The fragmented nature of the shampoo segment places a premium on distribution and brand recognition and positioning.

Marketing and Sales

        Our marketing approach is based upon the acquisition and rebuilding of established, mass market brands that possess what we believe to be significant brand equity and unrealized potential. Our marketing objective is to increase sales and market share by developing and executing professionally designed, creative and cost-effective advertising and promotional programs. Once we acquire a brand, we implement a brand building strategy that leverages the brand's existing equity to maximize sales of current products and grows the brand through product innovation. This brand building process involves the evaluation and enhancement of the existing brand name, the development and introduction of innovative new products and the professional execution of support programs. All new product concepts are thoroughly researched before launch. To ensure consistent growth, the brands are supported by an integrated trade, consumer and advertising effort, although advertising is used selectively. Recognizing that financial resources are limited, we allocate our resources to focus on those brands that show the greatest opportunities for growth and financial success. Brand priorities vary from year to year and generally revolve around the introduction of new items.

Customers

        Our senior management team and dedicated sales force maintain long-standing relationships with our top 50 customers, accounting for approximately 83.3% of our combined gross sales for the year ended March 31, 2004. Our sales force consists of 10 people and is also complemented by third-party sales management organizations who focus on key client relationships by interfacing directly with the remaining accounts and report directly to members of management.

        We enjoy broad distribution across each of the major retail channels and have successfully increased penetration in the traditional mass merchandiser, drug and food channels since 2001. Our products are sold by mass merchandisers and in drug, grocery, dollar and club stores. We have expanded our sales in high-growth clubs and dollar stores by introducing packaging and sizes customized for these channels. We have a well-balanced channel mix: food, drug and mass merchandise channels account for 27.2%, 19.1% and 35.9% of sales to our top 50 customers, respectively, for the

77



year ended March 31, 2004. Due to the diversity of our product line, we believe that these channels are of equal importance and we continue to seek opportunities for growth in each sector.

        Our principal customer relationships include Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Target, CVS and Albertson's. For the year ended March 31, 2004, our top five and ten customers accounted for approximately 42.1% and 57.1% of our overall gross sales and Wal-Mart itself accounted for approximately 23.0% of our gross sales. Our top fifteen customers each purchase products from virtually every major product line.

        Our strong customer relationships provide us with a number of important benefits including minimizing slotting fees and shortening payment time after invoicing. In addition, these relationships help us by facilitating new product introductions and ensuring prominent shelf space. Management's emphasis on strong personal and professional relationships, speed and flexibility, leading sales technology capabilities, including electronic data interchange, e-mail, the internet, integrated retail coverage, consistent marketing support programs and ongoing product innovation we believe will continue to maximize our competitiveness in the increasingly complex retail environment.

        The following table sets forth a list of our primary distribution channels and our principal customers for each channel.

Outsourcing and Manufacturing

        In order to maximize our competitiveness and efficiently allocate our resources, third-party manufacturers provide us with all of our manufacturing needs. We have found that contract manufacturing maximizes our flexibility and responsiveness to industry and consumer trends while minimizing the need for capital expenditures. We select contract manufacturers based on what we believe to be the best overall value, and we take into account factors such as depth of services, the management team, manufacturing flexibility, regulatory compliance and competitive pricing. We also conduct thorough reviews of each potential manufacturer's facilities, quality standards, capacity and financial stability. We generally only purchase finished products from our manufacturers, and none of those products require unique raw materials.

78



        Our primary contract manufacturers provide comprehensive services from product development through manufacturing of finished goods and are responsible for such matters as production planning, product research and development, procurement, production and quality testing through product release. The manufacturer is responsible for all capital expenditures and works with us to develop improved packaging and promotional offers. In most instances, we provide our contract manufacturers with guidance and management in the form of product development, performance criteria, regulatory guidance, sourcing of packaging materials, overall project management and monthly master production schedules. This management approach results in minimal capital expenditures and maximizes our cash flow, which is reinvested to support our marketing initiatives and to repay outstanding indebtedness.

        We have relationships with over 20 third-party manufacturers. Our largest suppliers of manufactured goods for the year ended March 31, 2004 included Vijon Laboratories, Abbott Laboratories, Kolmar Canada, Procter & Gamble, OraSure Technologies and Humco Holdings. We enter into manufacturing agreements for a majority of our products, each of which vary based on the third-party producer and the types of products being supplied. These agreements explicitly outline the manufacturer's obligations and product specifications with respect to the brand or brands being produced. The manufacturing agreements are typically one to seven years in duration and prices under these agreements generally are established annually and subject to quarterly adjustments for actual raw material and packaging cost changes. Labor cost increases are generally limited to increases in the consumer price index. All of our other products are manufactured on a purchase order basis. Orders are generally based on batch sizes and result in no long-term obligations or commitments.

Warehousing and Distribution

        We receive orders from retailers and/or brokers primarily by electronic data interchange ("EDI"), which automatically enters each order into our systems and then routes the order to our distribution center. The distribution center will, in turn, send a confirmation that the order was received, fill the order, and ship the order to the customers, while sending a shipment confirmation to us. Upon receipt of the confirmation, we send an invoice to the customer.

        We manage product distribution in the mainland United States through one facility located in St. Louis and leased and operated by Ozburn-Hessey Logistics. Ozburn-Hessey Logistics handles all finished goods storage and all customer shipments, as well as, counting and disposition of customer returns. For the Over-the-Counter Drug and Personal Care product lines, freight and warehousing costs are a relatively small portion of our expenses (5% of sales) due to the high value and low weight of the product line. For the Household category, the freight costs were approximately 7% due to the products' higher weight. We pay a fixed lease on the warehouse space, and a handling fee per case of product shipped from the facility. Canadian brands are warehoused and distributed by Canadian-based distribution companies.

Regulation

        Product Regulations.    The formulation, manufacturing, packaging, labeling, distribution, importation, sale and storage of our products are subject to extensive regulation by various federal agencies, including the FDA, the FTC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the EPA and by various agencies of the states, localities and foreign countries in which our products are manufactured, distributed and sold. Regulatory issues are handled internally by management and an experienced FDA consultant. Our operations team works closely with our co-packers on quality and makes frequent site visits. When and if the FDA chooses to audit a particular facility that is manufacturing one of our products, we are notified immediately and updated on the process of the audit as it proceeds. To prepare manufacturers for audits, we perform "mock" FDA inspections at least biannually. Our management intends to continue this procedure across all of our brands. This continual evaluation

79


process ensures that our manufacturing processes and products are of the highest quality and in compliance with all regulatory needs.

        All of our over-the-counter drug products are regulated pursuant to the FDA's monograph system. The monographs, both tentative and final, set out the active ingredients and labeling indications that are permitted for certain broad categories of over-the-counter drug products. Where the FDA has finalized a particular monograph, it has concluded that a properly labeled product formulation is generally recognized as safe and effective and not misbranded. A tentative final monograph indicates that the FDA has not made a final determination about products in a category to establish safety and efficacy for a product and its uses. However, unless there is a serious safety or efficacy issue, the FDA will typically exercise enforcement discretion and permit companies to sell products conforming to a tentative final monograph until the final monograph is published. Products that comply with either final or tentative final monograph standards do not require pre-market approval from the FDA.

        In accordance with the FDC Act and FDA regulations, the manufacturing processes of our third party manufacturers must also comply with the FDA's cGMPs. The FDA inspects our facilities and those of our third party manufacturers periodically to determine if we and our third party manufacturers are complying with cGMPs.

        Other Regulations.    We are also subject to a variety of other regulations in various foreign markets, including regulations pertaining to import/export regulations and antitrust issues. To the extent we decide to commence or expand operations in additional countries, we may be required to obtain an approval, license or certification from the country's ministry of health or comparable agency. We must also comply with product labeling and packaging regulations that vary from country to country. Government regulations in both our domestic and international markets can delay or prevent the introduction, or require the reformulation or withdrawal, of some of our products. Our failure to comply with these regulations can result in a product being removed from sale in a particular market, either temporarily or permanently.

Intellectual Property

        We own a number of trademark registrations and applications in the United States, Canada and certain other foreign countries. The following are some of the most important trademarks registered in the United States: APF, Blistergard, Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Cinch, Cloverine, Comet, Compound W, Compoz, Cutex, Denorex, Dermoplast, Essential Care, Freezone, Heet, Iodex, Kerodex, Meds, Momentum, Mosco, Murine, Nail-a-Clean, New Skin, Outgro, Oxipor VHC, Percogesic, Prell, Simple Pad, Simplegel, Sleep-Eze, Spic and Span, Vacuum Grip and Zincon. In addition, we have an exclusive royalty bearing license to use the EZO trademark in the United States for a term of 10 years from January 1, 2003 at the end of which we shall have the right to purchase the trademark for $1,000. While we own the U.S. trademark registration for Kerodex, we have an obligation to pay royalties to Unilever/Scientific with respect to the manufacture and sale of barrier creams sold in the United States under the Kerodex trademark. This royalty obligation will continue so long as we make, use or sell these products in the United States.

        As part of our acquisition of the Clear eyes and Murine product lines from Abbott Laboratories in 2002, certain country closings were scheduled to take place after 2003 in order for the parties to obtain the necessary regulatory approvals in those countries. While a number of those closings have occurred and the trademark registrations and applications in such countries have been assigned to us, we and Abbott are still in the process of executing separate agreements to effect assignments of trademark registrations and applications for the Clear eyes and Murine trademarks in some countries that represent smaller markets for us.

        We acquired certain other intellectual property rights from Procter & Gamble and Abbott Laboratories when we acquired the trademarks related to the Comet, Chloraseptic, Clear eyes, Murine

80



and Prell product lines; however, we did not in each case obtain title to all of the intellectual property used to manufacture and sell those products. Therefore, we are dependent upon Procter & Gamble, Abbott Laboratories and other third parties for certain intellectual property used in the manufacture and sale of certain of our products (e.g., Comet products, Clean and Flush disposable toilet brush products, Chloraseptic strips, Prell shampoo, Spic and Span dilutables, Cinch spray, Spic and Span soft powder). We have licenses for such intellectual property or manufacturing agreements with the owners of such intellectual property.

        We have granted MF Distributions, Inc. an exclusive license (with an option to purchase) to sell Spic and Span and Cinch products in Canada for a royalty. In 2003, we assigned our Italian trademark applications and registrations for Spic and Span and Cinch to Conter, S.p.A., and entered into a concurrent use agreement with Conter with respect to such marks.

        We have granted Procter & Gamble the right to use the Comet trademark in the commercial/institutional/industrial segment in the United States and Canada until 2010 and in all of its segments in certain Eastern European countries until 2006. In addition, we have granted to Procter & Gamble the right to use the Spic and Span trademark in connection with cleaning products for use primarily outside the home and in a business or institution until 2009.

Information Technology

        We use ACCPAC (Computer Associates) as our business management system. The system handles our accounts receivables, accounts payable, inventory control, purchase orders, order entry and general ledger transactions. We are currently running three separate entities on the system and plan to integrate other entities on the system in connection with the Prestige acquisition. Because this system gives us the ability to manage several different companies at the same time, we anticipate that such integration will be completed without disruption to our daily operations.

        For EDI transactions, we use Gentran, a software from Sterling Commerce which is one of the most widely used packages for EDI in the United States. The above systems, along with our highly experienced staff located in Jackson, Wyoming, gives us the capability to add brands or entire companies to the portfolio in a seamless fashion.

Employees

        After giving effect to the completion of the Prestige Acquisition, we would have employed 68 individuals at June 30, 2004. None of our employees are party to collective bargaining agreements. Management believes that its relations with its employees are good.

Properties

        Our corporate headquarters are located in Irvington, New York, a suburb of New York City. Primary functions undertaken at the Irvington facility include senior management, marketing, sales, operations and finance. We also have a secondary administrative center in Jackson, Wyoming. Primary functions undertaken at the Jackson facility include back office functions such as invoicing, credit and collection, general ledger and customer service. Each of these facilities are leased with expiration dates ranging from 2004 to 2005.

81


Legal Proceedings

        In June 2003, a lawsuit, Theodosakis v. Walgreens, et al, was filed in Federal District Court in Arizona, in which the plaintiff alleged that Medtech Products and others infringed the dress trade of a book titled "The Arthritis Cure" in connection with the sale of dietary supplement products under the core trademark ARTHx. In addition, the complaint alleged that Medtech Products and others made false endorsements, engaged in unfair competition, made false designations of origin and invaded the privacy rights of the plaintiff. The ARTHx trademarks, goodwill and inventory were sold by us to a third party, Contract Pharmacal Corporation, in March 2003. We intend to defend this matter vigorously. Because of the inherent uncertainties related to this type of lawsuit, however, we are unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, or the likelihood or amount of its potential liability, if any.

        We are also involved from time to time in routine legal matters and other claims incidental to our business. When it appears probable in management's judgment that we will incur monetary damages or other costs in connection with such claims and proceedings, and such costs can be reasonable estimated, liabilities are recorded in the financial statements and charges are recorded against earnings. We believe the resolution of such routine matters and other incidental claims, taking into account reserves and insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operation.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

        The compensation arrangements for our Chief Executive Officer and each of our Named Executive Officers were established pursuant to the terms of the respective employment agreements between us and each executive officer (with the exception of Richard Thome who does not have an employment agreement). The terms of the employment agreements were established pursuant to arms-length negotiations between a representative of the equity investors or the Chief Executive Officer and each executive officer.

Compensation of Managers

        Each of the managers receives reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with meetings of the board of managers. Managers who are employees do not receive any fee in addition to their regular salary for serving on the board. Managers who are not employees do not receive any compensation for serving on the board.

Senior Management Agreements

        In connection with the Medtech acquisition, Peter C. Mann entered into a senior management agreement pursuant to which he (1) acquired a strip of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units, which are referred to as "Co-Invest Units"; and (2) acquired additional Common Units, which are available only for issuance to management investors and which are referred to as "Carried Units."

        Co-Invest Units were fully vested when purchased; however, Carried Units are subject to vesting. Fifteen percent of the Carried Units were vested when purchased and 17% will vest annually over a period of five years, subject to acceleration in the event of a sale of Prestige Holdings. As occurred in the Prestige Acquisition, investments made under the unit purchase agreement (as described below in "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions") may dilute the Carried Units.

        Prestige Holdings may be required to purchase Mr. Mann's vested units in the event of his termination of employment (1) due to death or disability, (2) by us without cause, provided that, at such time, certain financial targets are being met and certain defaults are not existing under our financing arrangements or (3) by Mr. Mann for good reason, provided that, at such time, certain financial targets are being met and certain defaults are not existing under our financing arrangements. In addition, Prestige Holdings may be required to purchase a portion of Mr. Mann's Class B Preferred Units at the fair market value of such securities if the investors that are a party to the unit purchase agreement elect not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units contemplated to be purchased by them under such agreement, or, all of such Class B Preferred Units have not been purchased by them under the unit purchase agreement prior to a sale of Prestige Holdings or an initial public offering of the equity of Prestige Holdings or any corporate successor thereto.

        In addition, Prestige Holdings and the investors that are a party to the unit purchase agreement will have the right to purchase all or any portion of Mr. Mann's unvested units if his employment is terminated and all or any portion of Mr. Mann's vested units in the event of his termination of employment (1) due to death or disability, (2) by us with cause, (3) by Mr. Mann without good reason or (4) at a time when certain financial targets are not being met or certain defaults are existing under our financing arrangements. If Prestige Holdings elects to purchase any units pursuant to the call option described in the preceding sentence, the purchase price of any such units may, among other options, be paid by issuing Class A Preferred Units to Mr. Mann. The aggregate capital contributions deemed made to Prestige Holdings in respect of such Class A Preferred Units will be equal to the aggregate repurchase price of the units being repurchased with such Class A Preferred Units. The purchase price for securities purchased pursuant to the call option shall be (1) in the case of unvested Carried Units, the lesser of the original cost and the fair market value of such units; (2) in the case of vested Carried Units and Common Units, the purchase price shall be the fair market value of such

86



units, provided that, if Mr. Mann's employment is terminated with cause, then the purchase price shall be the lesser of the original cost and the fair market value of such units; and (3) in the case of the Class B Preferred Units, the purchase price shall be the fair market value of such units, provided that, if Mr. Mann's employment is terminated with cause, then the purchase price shall be the lesser of the original cost and the fair market value of such units.

        Repurchases by Prestige Holdings under the put and call options described above are subject to (i) Prestige Holdings' ability to pay the purchase price from its readily available cash resources, (ii) restrictions contained in laws applicable to Prestige Holdings or its subsidiaries and (iii) restrictions contained in Prestige Holdings' and its subsidiaries' debt and equity financing agreements, including the senior credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes. Prestige Holdings may therefore defer repurchases while such restrictions apply.

        Mr. Mann's senior management agreement also prohibits him from transferring any of his Co-Invest Units or Carried Units, subject to certain exceptions. The transfer restrictions terminate with respect to particular securities upon such securities being transferred in a public sale and with respect to all securities upon the sale of Prestige Holdings.

        Each of Peter J. Anderson, Gerard F. Butler and Michael A. Fink is also a party to a senior management agreement pursuant to which he acquired Co-Invest Units and Carried Units at the same price and under terms generally no less favorable to us than Mr. Mann's terms. In addition, each senior management agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

        Furthermore, in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, each of the executives listed in the table below sold (i) the number of shares of Medtech common stock indicated below to us in exchange for $4.93 per share and (ii) the number of shares of Denorex common stock indicated below to Prestige Personal Care, Inc. in exchange for $128.75 per share. In addition, each of Messrs. Mann, Anderson, Butler and Fink contributed the remainder of their respective Medtech common stock and Denorex common stock to Prestige Holdings in exchange for a number of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units of Prestige Holdings based on a $1,000 per unit and $0.10 per unit price, respectively. Certain of the Common Units received by such executives are subject to vesting terms, as discussed above.

        In his senior management agreement, Mr. Mann agrees to serve as our chief executive officer until he resigns or until we terminate his employment. While employed by us, Mr. Mann will receive an annual base salary of $425,000, subject to increase by the board of managers. For each fiscal year of employment, Mr. Mann will be eligible for an annual bonus and will be entitled to any other benefits approved by the board of managers and made available to other senior management.

        Mr. Mann's employment will continue until (1) his resignation without good reason, or his disability or death, (2) his termination of employment with cause, (3) his termination of employment without cause or (4) his resignation with good reason. If his employment is terminated by us without cause or by Mr. Mann for good reason, then during the one-year period following the termination we will be obligated to pay Mr. Mann, in equal installments on regular payroll dates, an aggregate amount equal to his annual base salary and his prior annual bonus.

87



        Mr. Mann agrees to limitations on his ability to disclose confidential information relating to us and acknowledges that all discoveries, inventions, methods and other work product relating to his employment belong to us. Also, during the one-year period following Mr. Mann's termination of employment, he agrees not to engage in any manner in any business in the United States that competes with one of our significant revenue-producing brands or with respect to which we conducted discussions relating to the acquisition of such business during the year preceding Mr. Mann's termination and during his receipt of any severance payments. Furthermore, during the non-compete period, Mr. Mann agrees not to solicit our employees or customers or hire our key employees.

        Each of the senior management agreements of Messrs. Anderson, Butler and Fink provide that such individuals will be employed by us under terms generally no less favorable to us than Mr. Mann's terms. Under their respective senior management agreements, each of Messrs. Anderson, Butler and Fink will serve in the following positions and receive the following annual base salary, subject to increase by the board of managers:

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Unit Purchase Agreement

        Pursuant to the unit purchase agreement entered into among Prestige Holdings, the GTCR investors and the co-investors, in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, the GTCR investors and the co-investors acquired a strip of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units of Prestige Holdings for an aggregate purchase price of $102,220,951 and $3,000,000, respectively. In addition, the GTCR investors committed to purchase up to an aggregate of 144,779.049 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit and, in any such case, the co-investors will have the option to purchase their proportionate share of such Class B Preferred Units. The co-investors, however, will forfeit their rights to purchase additional Class B Preferred Units should they on any occasion elect not to purchase their proportionate share of the additional Class B Preferred Units being purchased by the GTCR investors. In connection with the Prestige Acquisition, the GTCR investors and the co-investors purchased 58,179.250 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit. The discretionary investment of the remaining $86,599,799 is conditioned upon the GTCR investors and the board of managers of Prestige Holdings approving the proposed use of the proceeds from the investment, as well as the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

Limited Liability Company Agreement

        Prestige Holdings has issued Senior Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units and Common Units under the terms of its limited liability company agreement. Prestige Holdings also has the authority to create and issue Class A Preferred Units, in connection with certain repurchases by Prestige Holdings of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units held by our executives in the event that they cease to be employed by us.

        Class A Preferred Units are entitled to a preferred yield of 8.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. On any liquidation or other distribution by Prestige Holdings, holders of Class A Preferred Units are entitled to an amount equal to the original investment in such preferred units, net of any prior returns of capital with respect to such preferred units, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred yield, which we refer to as the "Class A Preference Amount," before any payments may be made to holders of Class B Preferred Units or Common Units. Class A Preferred Units may be used as consideration for the repurchase by Prestige Holdings of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units held by members of our management team who cease to be employed by Prestige Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. Class B Preferred Units are also entitled to a preferred yield of 8.0% per annum, compounded quarterly. On any liquidation or other distribution by Prestige Holdings and after payment of the Class A Preference Amount, holders of Class B Preferred Units are entitled to an amount equal to the original investment in such preferred units, net of any prior returns of capital with respect to such preferred units, plus any accrued and unpaid preferred yield, which we refer to as the "Class B Preference Amount," before any payments may be made to holders of Common Units. The Common Units represent the common equity of Prestige Holdings. After payment of the Class A Preference Amount and the Class B Preference Amount, holders of Common Units are entitled to any remaining proceeds of any liquidation or other distribution by Prestige Holdings pro rata according to the number of Common Units held by such holder.

        Both the senior credit facility and the indenture relating to the notes generally limit the ability of Prestige International subsidiaries to pay cash distributions to their respective equityholders other than distributions in amounts approximately equal to the tax liability of members of Prestige Holdings unless certain conditions are satisfied. See "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Restricted Payments." Because Prestige Holdings' only significant assets will be the equity securities of its subsidiaries, it likely will not have sufficient funds to make distributions to its members, other than

89



tax distributions. Such tax distributions will be made quarterly and will be based upon the approximate highest combined tax rate that applies to any of its members.

        Pursuant to the limited liability company agreement, distributions of property of Prestige Holdings shall be made in the following order:

    first, holders of Senior Preferred Units will receive a preferred yield on their invested capital of 8% per annum (or 0% per annum if certain sales targets for such annum are not met), compounded annually;

    second, holders of Senior Preferred Units will receive return of their invested capital;

    third, holders of Class A Preferred Units, if any, will receive a preferred yield on their invested capital of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly;

    fourth, holders of Class A Preferred Units, if any, will receive return of their invested capital;

    fifth, holders of Class B Preferred Units will receive a preferred yield on their invested capital of 8% per annum, compounded quarterly;

    sixth, holders of Class B Preferred Units will receive return of their invested capital; and

    thereafter, holders of the Common Units will receive all remaining distributions;

provided that, distributions in respect of the Senior Preferred Units may be bypassed at the discretion of the board of managers until such time as up to approximately $16.8 million has been distributed in respect of the other Units.

        A board of managers generally has the exclusive authority to manage and control the business and affairs of Prestige Holdings. Under the terms of the limited liability company agreement, the board is composed of:

    one person designated by GTCR Fund VIII, L.P.;

    one person designated by GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P.; and

    Prestige Holdings' chief executive officer.

        The number of members on the board may be increased up to seven members (or a higher numbered determined by GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C., or "GTCR LLC") with such additional members to be designated jointly by GTCR LLC and Prestige Holdings' chief executive officer, or, if GTCR LLC and the chief executive officer are unable to agree upon such representatives, designated by GTCR LLC. Unless otherwise determined by the board, Prestige Holdings will cause the board of managers or board of directors of each of its subsidiaries to be comprised of the same persons who are members of the board.

Securityholders Agreement

        With the exception of the holders of Senior Preferred Units (which holders are a party to the senior preferred investor rights agreement), each securityholder of Prestige Holdings is a party to the securityholders agreement. Pursuant to the securityholders agreement of Prestige Holdings, units of Prestige Holdings beneficially owned by the securityholders of Prestige Holdings are generally subject to restrictions on transfer, other than certain exempt transfers described in the securityholders agreement. When reference is made to "units" of Prestige Holdings in this discussion, such reference shall be deemed to include the equity securities of any successor to Prestige Holdings following a change in corporate form, whether in preparation for an initial public offering or otherwise.

90



        The securityholders agreement also provides:

    the management investors and the other investors party thereto with customary tag-along rights with respect to transfers of Prestige Holdings units beneficially owned by the GTCR Investors (as defined in the securityholders agreement);

    the management investors and the other investors with customary preemptive rights in connection with certain issuances (excluding, for example, issuances pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement) to the GTCR Investors of any preferred or common units of Prestige Holdings or any securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for preferred or common units;

    in connection with certain sales of interests in Prestige Holdings by any investor party thereto other than the GTCR Investors, rights of first refusal with respect to such sales, first to Prestige Holdings, then to the holders of Common Units; and

    the GTCR Investors with drag along rights with respect to Prestige Holdings units owned by the management investors and the other investors party thereto.

Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement

        Pursuant to the senior preferred investor rights agreement of Prestige Holdings, the Senior Preferred Units of Prestige Holdings are generally subject to restrictions on transfer, other than certain exempt transfers described in the senior preferred investor rights agreement. When reference is made to Senior Preferred Units in this discussion, such reference shall be deemed to include the equity securities of any successor to Prestige Holdings following a change in corporate form, whether in preparation for an initial public offering or otherwise.

        The senior preferred investor rights agreement also provides:

    the holders of Senior Preferred Units with a put right such that Prestige Holdings may be required to purchase the Senior Preferred Units, at a price per unit equal to the unreturned capital and unpaid yield in respect of such unit, in the event a sale of Prestige Holdings occurs or the GTCR investors and their affiliates transfer 25% or more of their equity securities of Prestige Holdings, subject to certain exceptions;

    in connection with certain sales of Senior Preferred Units, rights of first offer with respect to such sales, first to GTCR Fund VIII, L.P. (and/or its designees), then to Prestige Holdings; and

    the GTCR investors with drag along rights with respect to the Senior Preferred Units.

Registration Rights Agreement

        Under the registration rights agreement of Prestige Holdings, the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities (as defined therein) have the right at any time, subject to certain conditions, to request Prestige Holdings, any corporate successor thereto or any subsidiary thereof, to register any or all of their securities under the Securities Act on Form S-1, which we refer to as a "long-form registration" at Prestige Holdings' expense or on Form S-2 or Form S-3, which we refer to as a "short-form registration" at Prestige Holdings' expense. In addition, following an initial public offering by Prestige Holdings, subject to certain conditions, the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities (as defined in the registration rights agreement) have the right to request one short-form registration at Prestige Holdings' expense. Prestige Holdings is not required, however, to effect any long-form registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous long-form registration or a previous registration in which the holders of registrable securities were given the piggyback rights described in the following sentence (without any reduction). At Prestige Holdings' expense, all holders of registrable securities are entitled to the inclusion of such securities in any

91



registration statement used by Prestige Holdings to register any offering of its equity securities (other than pursuant to an initial public offering of Prestige Holdings' equity securities or a registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8). With the exception of the holders of Senior Preferred Units, each securityholder of Prestige Holdings is a party to the registration rights agreement.

Professional Services Agreement

        Under the professional services agreement between us and GTCR LLC, we have engaged GTCR LLC as a financial and management consultant. During the term of its engagement, GTCR LLC will consult on business and financial matters, including corporate strategy, budgeting of future corporate investments, acquisition and divestiture strategies and debt and equity financings. The professional services agreement will continue until the GTCR investors, the co-investors and their affiliates cease to own at least 10% of the equity securities of Prestige Holdings.

        At the time of any purchase of equity by the GTCR investors, the co-investors and/or their affiliates pursuant to the unit purchase agreement, we will pay GTCR LLC a placement fee equal to two percent of the amount paid in connection with such purchase. At the time of any other equity or debt financing of Prestige Holdings or any of its subsidiaries prior to a public offering by Prestige Holdings (other than the purchase of securities of Prestige Holdings by any executive of Prestige Holdings or any of its subsidiaries), we will pay to GTCR LLC a placement fee equal to two percent of the gross amount of such financing. GTCR LLC was paid a fee of approximately $5.0 million in connection with the consummation of the Medtech Acquisition. We did not pay GTCR LLC a fee in connection with the consummation of the Prestige Acquisition.

        We have agreed to pay to GTCR LLC an annual management fee of $4,000,000. Such management fee shall be payable in equal quarterly installments on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. Payment of the management fee will be deferred if: (i) an event of default under the senior credit facility or the indenture governing the notes has occurred; or (ii) we would not be able to incur at least $1.00 of additional debt under the first paragraph of the covenant described under "Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt." Deferred amounts will be expressly subordinated in the event of a bankruptcy or liquidation.

Medtech Stock Purchase Agreement

        On January 7, 2004, Medtech, Denorex, each of their respective stockholders, Medtech Acquisition, Inc. and Denorex Acquisition, Inc., each a newly formed holding company owned by affiliates of GTCR, entered into a stock purchase agreement, whereby Medtech Acquisition, Inc. and Denorex Acquisition, Inc. agreed to purchase all of the outstanding capital stock of Medtech and Denorex for a purchase price of $244.3 million (including fees and expenses). None of the representations and warranties set forth in the stock purchase agreement survived the closing of the acquisition. Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, each of Medtech, Denorex and their respective subsidiaries, which we refer to as the "target companies," agreed to hold each of the selling stockholders and their respective affiliates harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, expenses, obligations and liabilities arising out of any claims by any employees of the target companies who were employed as of the closing date of the acquisition with respect to any of the obligations or liabilities retained by the target companies under the agreement or arising on or after the closing date of the acquisition.

Prestige Merger Agreement

        On April 6, 2004, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige International acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bonita Bay for a purchase price of approximately $558.7 million (including fees and expenses) (subject to a post-closing working capital adjustment). The merger agreement

92



contains customary indemnification provisions that are subject to a $2 million deductible and a $10 million cap. The representations and warranties in the merger agreement survive for 15 months following the closing date.

Spic and Span Stock Purchase Agreement

        On March 5, 2004, Prestige Household Brands, Inc. acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Spic and Span for an aggregate purchase price of $30.3 million, consisting of $12.5 million in cash and an estimated $17.8 million of senior preferred equity interests in Prestige Holdings. None of the representations and warranties regarding Spic and Span set forth in the stock purchase agreement survived the closing of the acquisition. The stock purchase agreement contains customary indemnification provisions.

93



SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF
CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

        The issuer is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Prestige Holdings, whose members include affiliates and co-investors of GTCR and certain members of our management. The ownership interests in Prestige Holdings consist of Senior Preferred Units, Class A Preferred Units, Class B Preferred Units and Common Units. Holders of Senior Preferred Units, Class A Preferred Units and Class B Preferred Units have no voting rights except as required by law. The holders of Common Units are entitled to one vote per unit on all matters to be voted upon by the members of Prestige Holdings. For more information, see "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Limited Liability Company Agreement."

        Affiliates of GTCR own approximately 85.7% and 93.6% of the outstanding common units and preferred units, respectively, and our employees own collectively approximately 9.2% and 1.0% of the outstanding common units and preferred units, respectively, of Prestige Holdings. Two members of Prestige Holdings' board of managers, Messrs. Donnini and Hemmer, are also principals with GTCR. As such, they may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by affiliates of GTCR. Messrs. Donnini and Hemmer each disclaim beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

94



DESCRIPTION OF SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

        In connection with the consummation of the Prestige Acquisition, the issuer (for purposes of this description only, the "Borrower") entered into a senior credit facility with Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and tranche C agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, Merrill Lynch, a division of Merrill Lynch Business Financial Services Inc., as documentation agent, and a syndicate of financial institutions and institutional lenders. Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the senior credit facility.

        The senior credit facility provides for an original aggregate principal amount of up to $505.0 million. The senior credit facility provides for:

    a senior secured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $355.0 million;

    a second lien term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million (the "tranche C term loan facility"); and

    a non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $50.0 million (a portion of this facility will be available for swing loans and for the issuance of letters of credits).

        We borrowed approximately $458.5 million under the senior credit facility to provide a portion of the proceeds required to consummate the Prestige Acquisition. The revolving credit facility will also be used for working capital and general corporate needs.

Incremental Increases

        The Borrower has the right to make up to three requests to increase the commitments under the facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150.0 million, provided certain conditions are met. Each lender has a first right to participate in each incremental increase but no lender is required to commit to any incremental increase.

Collateral and Guarantees

        All obligations of the Borrower under the senior credit facilities and any exposure in respect of cash management transactions incurred on behalf of Prestige International or any of its subsidiaries, or under any interest rate agreement or other hedging arrangements entered into with any of the lenders, are unconditionally guaranteed by each of the entities that guarantees the Borrower's obligations under the notes offered hereby; provided, that in no event shall any direct or indirect non-U.S. subsidiary of Prestige International be required to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower, subject to certain exceptions. The guarantees issued in respect of the notes are subordinated to the guarantees under the senior credit facility.

        Except as provided below, the obligations described above are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and each guarantor, including but not limited to:

    a perfected, first-priority pledge of all of the capital stock held by the Borrower or any guarantor, except for 34% of the stock of any non-U.S. subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions; and

    perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Borrower and the guarantors.

        The tranche C term loan facility and all other amounts and obligations owed by the Borrower in respect of the tranche C term loan facility are secured solely by a second priority security interest (junior only to the first priority security obligations described above) on substantially all of the assets of

95


the Borrower and each guarantor, including, but not limited to, the assets described in the preceding paragraph.

Interest and Commitment Fees

        All loans bear interest, at the option of the Borrower, at one of the following rates:

    the Applicable Margin (as defined herein) plus the highest of (i) Citibank N.A.'s base rate (the "Base Rate") and (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 1/2 of 1%, payable quarterly in arrears; or

    the Applicable Margin plus the current LIBO rate as quoted by Citicorp, adjusted for applicable statutory reserve requirements, if any, and subject to customary change of circumstance provisions, for interest periods of one, two, three or six months (or, if available to all lenders, nine or 12 months) (the "LIBO Rate"), payable at the end of the relevant interest period, but in any event at least quarterly.

        "Applicable Margin" means (a) in the case of loans under the revolving credit facility: (i) prior to the date occurring six months after the date of the consummation of the Transactions (the "Closing Date"), 1.50% per annum, in the case of loans bearing interest based on the Base Rate, and 2.50% per annum, in the case of loans bearing interest based on the LIBO Rate; and (ii) thereafter, such higher or lower rates per annum determined by reference to a pricing grid to be determined; (b) in the case of the loans under the term loan facility (other than the tranche C term loan facility), 1.75% per annum, in the case of loans bearing interest based on the Base Rate, and 2.75% per annum, in the case of loans bearing interest based on the LIBO Rate; and (c) in the case of the loans under the tranche C term loan facility, 3.75% per annum, in the case of loans bearing interest based on the Base Rate and 4.75% per annum in the case of loans bearing interest based on the LIBO Rate.

        Default Interest.    During the continuance of a material event of default, loans may bear interest at an additional 2% per annum.

        Unused Commitment Fee.    From and after the Closing Date, a non-refundable unused commitment fee equal to 0.50% per annum of the daily average unused portion of the revolving credit facility accrues, payable quarterly in arrears and at maturity of the revolving credit facility.

Repayment; Prepayments

        The term loan facility (other than the tranche C term loan facility) matures on the date that is 7 years after the Closing Date and the tranche C term loan facility matures on the date that is 7 years and 180 days after the Closing Date. Each loan under the term loan facility (other than the tranche C term loan facility) amortizes during the period such loan is outstanding in quarterly installments that shall each be equal to 0.25% of the initial principal amount of the loans made under the term loan facility.

        The revolving credit facility matures, and the revolving credit commitments relating thereto terminate, on the date that is 5 years after the Closing Date.

        Optional prepayments of borrowings under the senior credit facility other than the tranche C facility, and optional reductions of the unutilized portion of the revolving credit facility commitments, are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the lenders' redeployment costs in the case of a prepayment of LIBO Rate borrowings other than a prepayment made on the last day of the relevant interest period. The tranche C term loan facility is subject to prepayment restrictions and premiums.

96



Mandatory Prepayments

        Mandatory prepayments of the senior credit facility are required from excess cash flow, the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary-course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower and its subsidiaries, the net proceeds of issuances of debt obligations of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, and the net proceeds of issuances of equity of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries, subject to percentage limitations, reinvestment rights and other exceptions.

Certain Covenants

        The senior credit facility requires us to meet certain financial tests, including without limitation, a maximum total leverage ratio, a minimum interest coverage ratio, and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (with different levels applicable to the tranche C term loan facility). In addition, the senior credit facility contains certain representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, guarantees, investments, capital expenditure, distributions, transaction with affiliates, asset sales, capital expenditures, mergers and consolidations, prepayment of other indebtedness, liens and encumbrances and other matters customarily restricted in such agreements.

Events of Default

        The senior credit facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, breaches of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross-defaults to certain other material indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, certain ERISA events, judgment defaults in excess of specified amounts, failure of any guaranty or security document or any subordination provision supporting the senior credit facility to be in full force and effect and change in control.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

        You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading "Certain Definitions." In this description, the word "Company" refers only to Prestige Brands, Inc. and any successor entity, the issuer of the notes, and not to any of its Subsidiaries; "Parent" refers to Prestige Brands International, LLC and any successor entity (the owner of 100% of the outstanding common stock of Prestige Products Holdings, Inc.) and not to any of its Subsidiaries; and "Holdings" refers to Prestige Products Holdings, Inc. and any successor entity (the owner of 100% of the outstanding common stock of the Company) and not to any of its Subsidiaries.

        The Company issued the outstanding notes under an indenture dated as of April 6, 2004, among the Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). The indenture complies with the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. The terms of the notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act. Any notes that remain outstanding after completion of the exchange offer, together with the Exchange Notes (as defined in the indenture) issued in the exchange offer, will be treated as a single class of securities under the indenture. Unless otherwise required by the context, references in this description to the "notes" includes the notes issued to the initial purchasers in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and the Exchange Notes, which have been registered under the Securities Act.

        We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as a holder of the notes. A copy of the indenture is available upon request to us at the address indicated under "Where You Can Find More Information."

Principal, Maturity and Interest

        The Company is issuing up to $210.0 million aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes in the exchange offer and, subject to compliance with the limitations described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt," an unlimited principal amount of additional notes at later dates under the same indenture (the "Additional Notes"). The Company can issue the Additional Notes as part of the same series or as an additional series. Any Additional Notes that the Company issues in the future will be identical in all respects to the notes that the Company is issuing now, except that notes issued in the future will have different issuance dates and may have different issuance prices. The Company will issue notes only in fully registered form without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000.

        The notes will mature on April 15, 2012.

        Interest on the notes will accrue at a rate of 91/4% per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15, commencing on October 15, 2004. The Company will pay interest to those persons who were holders of record on the April 1 or October 1 immediately preceding each interest payment date.

        Interest on the notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

        The interest rate on the notes will increase if:

            (1) the Company does not file on a timely basis either:

              (A) a registration statement to allow for an exchange offer or

              (B) a resale shelf registration statement for the notes;

98



            (2) one of the registration statements referred to above is not declared effective on a timely basis;

            (3) the exchange offer referred to above is not consummated on a timely basis; or

            (4) certain other conditions are not satisfied as described under "Exchange Offer."

        Any interest payable as a result of any such increase in interest rate is referred to as "Special Interest" and all references to interest in this description include, Special Interest. You should refer to the description under the heading "Exchange Offer" for a more detailed description of the circumstances under which the interest rate will increase.

Subordination

        The notes will be:

    senior subordinated, unsecured obligations of the Company;

    guaranteed on a senior subordinated, unsecured basis by the Guarantors;

    subordinate in right of payment to all existing and future Senior Debt of the Company and the Guarantors, including the Company's and the Guarantors' obligations under the Senior Credit Facility;

    equal in right of payment ("pari passu") with all future Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company and the Guarantors; and

    senior in right of payment to all future Subordinated Obligations of the Company and the Guarantors.

        The payment of principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and all other amounts payable in respect of, the notes, and payment under any Guarantee, will be subordinated in right of payment to the payment when due in cash of all Senior Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be. As a result of this subordination, holders of Senior Debt will be entitled, in any of the following situations, to receive full payment in cash on all obligations owed to them before any kind of payment (other than in certain events, payment on Permitted Junior Securities) can be made to holders of the notes:

    liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or the relevant Guarantor;

    bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or similar proceedings of or with respect to the Company or the relevant Guarantor;

    an assignment for the benefit of the Company's or the relevant Guarantor's creditors; or

    any marshaling of the Company's or the relevant Guarantor's assets and liabilities.

        As of March 31, 2004, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the Company and the Guarantors on a consolidated basis would have had $458.5 million of Senior Debt (excluding unused commitments made by lenders) and $210.0 million of Senior Subordinated Debt.

        A portion of the operations of the Parent and the Company are conducted through its subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company's ability to service its debt, including the notes, is partially dependent upon the cash flows of its subsidiaries and, to the extent they are not Guarantors, their ability to distribute those cash flows as dividends, loans or other payments to the Company. Certain laws restrict the ability of the Parent's and the Company's subsidiaries to pay it dividends or make loans and advances to it. If these restrictions are applied to subsidiaries that are not Guarantors, then the Company would not be able to use the cash flows of those subsidiaries to make payments on the notes. Furthermore, under certain circumstances, bankruptcy "fraudulent conveyance" laws or other similar laws could invalidate

99



the Guarantees of Guarantors that are Subsidiaries of the Parent. If this were to occur, the Company would also be unable to use the cash flows of these Guarantors to the extent they face restrictions on distributing funds to the Company. Any of the situations described above could make it more difficult for the Company to service its debt.

        In addition, the Company only has a stockholder's claim in the assets of its subsidiaries. This stockholder's claim is junior to the claims that creditors of the Company's subsidiaries have against those subsidiaries. Holders of the notes will only be creditors of the Company and those subsidiaries of the Parent that are Guarantors. In the case of subsidiaries of the Parent that are not Guarantors, all the existing and future liabilities of those subsidiaries, including any claims of trade creditors and preferred stockholders, will be effectively senior to the notes.

        The total balance sheet liabilities of (i) the Guarantors and (ii) the Parent's non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, as of March 31, 2004, excluding unused commitments made by lenders and any inter-company debt, would have been as follows:

$771.8 million   approximate total balance sheet liabilities of the Guarantors

$    0.4 million

 

approximate total balance sheet liabilities of all of Parent's non-Guarantor Subsidiaries

The Guarantors and the Parent's non-Guarantor Subsidiaries have other liabilities, including contingent liabilities, that may be significant. The indenture contains limitations on the amount of additional Debt that the Parent, the Company and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries may Incur. However, the amounts of such Debt could nevertheless be substantial and may be Incurred either by Guarantors or by the Parent's non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

        The Company may not pay principal of, or premium, if any, interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, or any other amounts payable in respect of, the notes, or make any deposit in respect of the notes pursuant to the provisions described under "—Defeasance," and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any notes (collectively, "pay the notes"), if:

            (a) any principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of any Senior Debt is not paid within any applicable grace period (including at maturity), or

            (b) any other default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms, unless, in either case,

              (1) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded, or

              (2) such Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash;

provided, however, that the Company may pay the notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of such issue of Senior Debt.

        During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) above) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except any notice required to effect the acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace period, the Company may not pay the notes for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a "Payment Blockage Notice") and ending

100



179 days thereafter, unless such Payment Blockage Period is earlier terminated by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Representative that gave such Payment Blockage Notice:

            (a) because such default is no longer continuing, or

            (b) because such Designated Senior Debt has been repaid in full in cash.

Unless the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or the Representative of such holders have accelerated the maturity of such Designated Senior Debt and not rescinded such acceleration, the Company may (unless otherwise prohibited as described in the first sentence of this paragraph) resume payments on the notes after the end of such Payment Blockage Period.

        Not more than one Payment Blockage Notice with respect to all issues of Designated Senior Debt may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to one or more issues of Designated Senior Debt during such period.

        Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company upon a total or partial liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its Property or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities, the holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before the holders of the notes are entitled to receive any payment of principal of, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, or any other amount payable to Holders in respect of the notes, except that holders of notes may receive and retain Permitted Junior Securities.

        Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which holders of the notes would be entitled but for the subordination provisions of the indenture will be made to holders of the Senior Debt. If a payment or distribution is made to holders of notes or the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of notes that, due to the subordination provisions, should not have been made to them, such holders or the Trustee will be required to hold it in trust for the holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as their interests may appear.

        If payment of the notes is accelerated when any Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, the Company may not pay the notes until three business days after the Representatives of all issues of Designated Senior Debt receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the notes only if the indenture otherwise permits payment at that time.

        The Guarantee of each Guarantor will be subordinated to Senior Debt of such Guarantor to the same extent and in the same manner as the notes are subordinated to Senior Debt of the Company.

        Because of the indenture's subordination provisions, holders of Senior Debt of the Company or the Guarantors may recover disproportionately more than the holders of the notes recover in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding relating to the Company or a Guarantor. This could apply even if the notes or the applicable Guarantee ranked pari passu with the other creditors' claims. In such a case, there may be insufficient assets, or no assets, remaining to pay the principal of or interest on the notes.

        Payment from the money or the proceeds of U.S. Government Obligations held in any defeasance trust pursuant to the provisions described under "—Defeasance" will not be subject to the subordination provisions described above and the holders shall not be obliged to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Debt or any other creditor of the Company.

        For a discussion of some of the risks related to the ranking and subordination of the notes, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Notes."

Note Guarantees

        The obligations of the Company under the indenture, including the repurchase obligation resulting from a Change of Control, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a

101



senior subordinated, unsecured basis, by the Parent and all of its existing and future Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries. See "—Certain Covenants—Future Guarantors."

        The Guarantors currently generate substantially all of the Parent's revenue. As of March 31, 2004, after giving effect to the consummation of the Transactions, the Subsidiaries of the Parent that will not be Guarantors at the consummation of this offering represented the following approximate percentages of the assets and revenues of the Parent, on a consolidated basis:

0.2%   of the Parent's consolidated assets represented by subsidiaries that are not Guarantors

0.6%

 

of the Parent's consolidated total revenues represented by subsidiaries that are not Guarantors (revenues for the most recent fiscal year)

        If the Parent, the Company or a Guarantor, sells or otherwise disposes of either:

              (1) all of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, or

              (2) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor,

in each case, to a Person that is not a Subsidiary of the Parent, then in any such case, such Guarantor will be released from all its obligations under its Guarantee. Also, if we defease the notes, as provided under "—Defeasance," all Guarantors will be released from their obligations under the Guarantees. In addition, if the Company redesignates a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, which the Company can do under certain circumstances, the redesignated Guarantor will be released from all its obligations under its Guarantee. See "—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries," "—Limitation on Issuance or Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries" and "—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property."

Optional Redemption

        Except as set forth below, the notes will not be redeemable at the option of the Company prior to April 15, 2008. Starting on that date, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the indenture. The notes may be redeemed at the redemption prices set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date). The following prices are for notes redeemed during the 12-month period commencing on April 15 of the years set forth below, and are expressed as percentages of principal amount:

Year

  Redemption Price
 
2008   104.625 %
2009   102.313 %
2010 and thereafter   100.000 %

        At any time prior to April 15, 2008, the Company may redeem all or any portion of the notes, at once or over time, after giving the required notice under the indenture at a redemption price equal to the greater of:

            (a) 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, and

            (b) the sum of the present values of (1) the redemption price of the notes at April 15, 2008 (as set forth in the preceding paragraph) and (2) the remaining scheduled payments of interest from the redemption date through, April 15, 2008, but excluding accrued and unpaid interest

102



    through the redemption date, discounted to the redemption date (assuming a 360 day year consisting of twelve 30 day months), at the Treasury Rate plus 75 basis points, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

        In addition, at any time and from time to time, prior to April 15, 2007, the Company may redeem up to a maximum of 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes (including any Additional Notes) with the proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings, at a redemption price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, thereon, if any, to but excluding the redemption date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date); provided, however, that after giving effect to any such redemption, at least 60% of the original aggregate principal amount of the notes issued on the Issue Date (including any Additional Notes) remains outstanding. Any such redemption shall be made within 90 days of such Equity Offering upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice.

        Any notice to holders of notes of such a redemption shall include the appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but need not include the redemption price itself. The actual redemption price, calculated as described above, shall be set forth in an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two business days prior to the redemption date unless clause (b) of the definition of "Comparable Treasury Price" is applicable, in which such Officer's Certificate should be delivered on the redemption date.

Sinking Fund

        There will be no mandatory sinking fund payments for the notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control

        Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, each holder of notes shall have the right to require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such holder's notes pursuant to the offer described below (the "Change of Control Offer") at a purchase price (the "Change of Control Purchase Price") equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to the repurchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date).

        Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company shall:

            (a) cause a notice of the Change of Control Offer to be sent at least once to the Dow Jones News Service or similar business news service in the United States; and

            (b) send, by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each holder of notes, at such holder's address appearing in the Security Register, a notice stating:

              (1) that a Change of Control has occurred and a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant entitled "Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control" and that all notes timely tendered will be accepted for payment;

              (2) the Change of Control Purchase Price and the repurchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a business day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed;

              (3) the circumstances and relevant facts regarding the Change of Control (including information with respect to pro forma historical income, cash flow and capitalization after giving effect to the Change of Control); and

              (4) the procedures that holders of notes must follow in order to tender their notes (or portions thereof) for payment, and the procedures that holders of notes must follow in order to withdraw an election to tender notes (or portions thereof) for payment.

103


        The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if (i) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer or (ii) an irrevocable notice of redemption for all outstanding notes has been given in accordance with the indenture. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon the Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

        The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue of such compliance.

        Management has no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that the Parent or the Company would decide to do so in the future. Subject to certain covenants described below, the Parent or the Company could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the indenture, but that could increase the amount of debt outstanding at such time or otherwise affect the Parent's or the Company's capital structure or credit ratings.

        The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of "all or substantially all" the Property of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, considered as a whole. Although there is a developing body of case law interpreting the phrase "substantially all," there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, if the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries, considered as a whole, dispose of less than all this Property by any of the means described above, the ability of a holder of notes to require the Company to repurchase its notes may be uncertain. In such a case, holders of the notes may not be able to resolve this uncertainty without resorting to legal action.

        The Senior Credit Facility provides that the occurrence of certain of the events that would constitute a Change of Control would constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facility. Additionally, other future debt of the Parent and its subsidiaries may contain prohibitions of certain events which would constitute a Change of Control or require such debt to be repurchased upon a Change of Control. To the extent other debt of the Parent and its subsidiaries is both subject to similar repurchase obligations in the event of a Change of Control and ranks senior in right of payment to the notes, all available funds will first be expended for the repurchase of such debt. Moreover, the exercise by holders of notes of their right to require the Company to repurchase such notes could cause a default under future debt of the Parent and its subsidiaries, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company. Finally, the Company's ability to pay cash to holders of notes upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company's then existing financial resources. The Company cannot assure you that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases. The Company's failure to repurchase notes in connection with a Change of Control would result in a default under the indenture. Such a default would, in turn, constitute a default under the Senior Credit Facility and may constitute a default under future debt as well. If such debt constitutes Designated Senior Debt, the subordination provisions in the indenture would likely restrict payment to holders of notes. The Company's obligation to make an offer to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified at any time prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control with the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes. See "—Amendments and Waivers."

104


Certain Covenants

        Limitation on Debt.    The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt, including any Acquired Debt (other than Permitted Debt) unless, after giving effect to the application of the proceeds thereof, no Default or Event of Default would occur as a consequence of such Incurrence or be continuing following such Incurrence and such Debt is Debt of the Company or a Guarantor and, after giving effect to the Incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds thereof, the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio would be at least 2.00 to 1.00.

        The term "Permitted Debt" is defined to include the following:

            (a)(i) Debt of the Company evidenced by the notes issued in this offering and the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such notes and in exchange for any Additional Notes and (ii) Debt of the Guarantors evidenced by Guarantees relating to the notes issued in this offering and the Exchange Notes issued in exchange for such notes and in exchange for any Additional Notes;

            (b) Debt of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent under Credit Facilities; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all such Debt under Credit Facilities at any one time outstanding shall not exceed $500.0 million; provided, further, that such amount shall be permanently reduced by (x) the amount of Net Available Cash used to Repay Debt under Credit Facilities (and, in the case of any revolving credit Debt, to effect a corresponding commitment reduction thereunder) and not subsequently reinvested in Additional Assets or used to purchase notes or Repay other Debt, pursuant to the covenant described under "—Limitation on Asset Sales" and (y) any amounts outstanding under Permitted Receivables Financings;

            (c) Debt of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary in respect of Capital Lease Obligations and Purchase Money Debt; provided that:

              (1) the aggregate principal amount of such Debt does not exceed the Fair Market Value (on the date of the Incurrence thereof) of the Property acquired, constructed or leased, and

              (2) the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Incurred and then outstanding pursuant to this clause (c) (together with all Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred and then outstanding in respect of Debt previously Incurred pursuant to this clause (c)) does not exceed $10.0 million;

            (d) Debt of the Parent owing to and held by any Restricted Subsidiary and Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary owing to and held by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that any subsequent issue or transfer of Capital Stock or other event that results in any such Restricted Subsidiary ceasing to be a Restricted Subsidiary or any subsequent transfer of any such Debt (except to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary) shall be deemed, in each case, to constitute the Incurrence of such Debt by the issuer thereof; provided, further, however that if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on any such Debt and the lender is not an obligor on the notes, such Debt must be expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all obligations with respect to the notes and the Guarantees, as the case may be;

            (e) Acquired Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the date on which such Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (other than Acquired Debt Incurred as consideration in, or to provide all or any portion of the funds or credit support utilized to consummate, the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Subsidiary of the Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary or was otherwise acquired by the Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary); provided that at the time such Restricted Subsidiary is acquired by the Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary or otherwise becomes a Restricted Subsidiary and after giving effect

105



    to the Incurrence of such Acquired Debt, the Company would have been able to Incur $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant;

            (f) Debt of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under Interest Rate Agreements entered into for the purpose of fixing, hedging or swapping interest rate risk in the ordinary course of the financial management of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary and not for speculative purposes; provided that the obligations under such agreements are directly related to payment obligations on Debt otherwise permitted by the terms of this covenant;

            (g) Debt of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under Currency Exchange Protection Agreements entered into for the purpose of fixing, hedging or swapping currency exchange rate risks directly related to transactions entered into by the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business and not for speculative purposes;

            (h) Debt of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary under Commodity Price Protection Agreements entered into in the ordinary course of the financial management of the Parent or such Restricted Subsidiary and not for speculative purposes;

            (i) Debt in connection with one or more standby letters of credit or performance or surety bonds issued by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or pursuant to self-insurance obligations and not in connection with the borrowing of money or the obtaining of advances or credit;

            (j) the guarantee by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of Debt of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of the indenture;

            (k) Debt represented by agreements of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn out or similar obligations, in each case, incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of any business or assets otherwise permitted under the indenture; provided that the maximum liability in respect of all such Debt shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds actually received by the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such acquisition or disposition;

            (l) Debt arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Debt is extinguished within five business days of incurrence;

            (m) the Incurrence by a Securitization Subsidiary of Non-Recourse Debt in connection with or pursuant to a Permitted Receivables Financing;

            (n) Debt of a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary that is Incurred solely for working capital purposes; provided that the aggregate principal amount of all Debt Incurred and outstanding under this clause (n) (together with all Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred and then outstanding under this clause (n)) does not exceed $10.0 million;

            (o) Debt of the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary outstanding on the Issue Date not otherwise described in clauses (a) through (n) above;

            (p) Debt of the Company or a Guarantor in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) outstanding at any one time not to exceed $20.0 million; and

            (q) Permitted Refinancing Debt Incurred in respect of Debt Incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant and clauses (a), (c), (e), (n) and (o) above.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this covenant,

            (a) the Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, Incur any Debt pursuant to paragraph (q) of this covenant if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or

106


    indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations unless such Debt shall be subordinated to the notes or the applicable Guarantee, as the case may be, to at least the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations;

            (b) the Parent shall not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to Incur any Debt pursuant to paragraph (q) of this covenant if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to Refinance any Subordinated Obligations or Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or any Guarantor;

            (c) accrual of interest, accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Debt, will be deemed not to be an Incurrence of Debt for purposes of this covenant; and

            (d) the maximum amount of Debt that the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent shall not be deemed exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values occurring after such Debt was Incurred.

        For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that an item of Debt meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Permitted Debt described in clauses (a) through (q) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to clause (l) of the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify (or later reclassify in whole or in part, in its sole discretion) such item of Debt in any manner that complies with this covenant. Debt under the Senior Credit Facility outstanding on the date on which the notes are first issued under the indenture shall be deemed to have been incurred on such date in reliance on the exception provided by clause (b) above. The principal amount of any Debt supported by a letter of credit issued under a Credit Facility in accordance with clause (b) above shall not be deemed a separate incurrence of Debt for purposes of this covenant, but only to the extent of the stated amount of such letter of credit.

        Limitation on Restricted Payments.    The Parent shall not make, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to make, directly or indirectly, any Restricted Payment if at the time of, and after giving effect to, such proposed Restricted Payment,

            (a) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

            (b) the Company could not Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Debt," or

            (c) the aggregate amount of such Restricted Payment and all other Restricted Payments declared or made since the Issue Date (the amount of any Restricted Payment, if made other than in cash, to be based upon Fair Market Value at the time of such Restricted Payment) would exceed an amount equal to the sum of:

              (1) 50% of the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income accrued during the period (treated as one accounting period) from the beginning of the fiscal quarter during which the Issue Date occurs to the end of the most recent fiscal quarter for which financial statements are available (or if the aggregate amount of Consolidated Net Income for such period shall be a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit), plus

              (2) 100% of Capital Contributions (other than Excluded Contributions),

    plus

              (3) the sum of:

                (A) the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from the issuance or sale after the Issue Date of convertible or exchangeable

107


        Debt that has been converted into or exchanged for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent, and

                (B) the aggregate amount by which Debt (other than Subordinated Obligations) of the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary is reduced on the Parent's consolidated balance sheet on or after the Issue Date upon the conversion or exchange of any Debt issued or sold on or prior to the Issue Date that is convertible or exchangeable for Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent,

      excluding, in the case of clause (A) or (B):

                (x) any such Debt issued or sold to the Parent or a Subsidiary of the Parent or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Parent or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees, and

                (y) the aggregate amount of any cash or other Property distributed by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary upon any such conversion or exchange, plus

              (4) an amount equal to the sum of:

                (A) the amount received from any Investments in any Person other than the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary resulting from dividends, repayments of loans or advances or other transfers of Property, in each case to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary from such Person, and

                (B) the portion (proportionate to the Parent's equity interest in such Unrestricted Subsidiary) of the Fair Market Value of the net assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at the time such Unrestricted Subsidiary is designated a Restricted Subsidiary or has been merged or consolidated with or into or transfers all of its assets into the Parent or another Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that the foregoing sum shall not exceed, in the case of any Person, the amount of Investments previously made (and treated as a Restricted Payment) by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary in such Person.

        The provisions of the first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit:

            (a) the payment of any dividends within 60 days of the declaration thereof if, on the declaration date, such dividends could have been paid in compliance with the indenture; provided, however, that at the time of such payment of such dividend, no other Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom); provided, further, however, that such dividend shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (b) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of Capital Stock of the Parent or any of its direct or indirect parent entities or Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale within 30 days of, Capital Stock of the Parent or any of its direct or indirect parent entities (so long as, in the case of a sale of Capital Stock of such parent entities, the net proceeds of such sale are contributed to the common equity capital of Parent) (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Capital Stock issued or sold to a Subsidiary of the Parent or an employee stock ownership plan or trust established by the Parent or any such Subsidiary for the benefit of their employees); provided, however, that

              (1) such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments and

              (2) the Capital Contributions from such exchange or sale shall be excluded from the calculation pursuant to clause (c)(2) above;

108



            (c) the purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement for value of any Subordinated Obligations in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the sale within 30 days of, Permitted Refinancing Debt; provided, however, that such purchase, repurchase, redemption, legal defeasance, acquisition or retirement shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (d) the repurchase of shares or units of, or options to purchase shares of, common stock or common units, as the case may be, of the Parent, any of its Subsidiaries or any direct or indirect parent entity of Parent from current or former officers, directors or employees of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (or permitted transferees of such current or former officers, directors or employees), pursuant to the terms of agreements (including employment agreements) or plans (or amendments thereto) approved by the Board of Directors under which such individuals purchase or sell, or are granted the option to purchase or sell, shares of such common stock or common units; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such repurchases shall not exceed $2.0 million in any calendar year and at the time of such repurchase, no other Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or result therefrom); provided, further, that unused amounts may carry over and be used in subsequent calendar years, in addition to the amounts permitted for such calendar year, up to a maximum of $5.0 million in any calendar year; provided further, however, that such repurchases shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (e) any payments made by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of this indenture with respect to the purchase price paid or any subsequent working capital adjustments made in connection with the Transactions; provided, however, that such payments will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (f) the repurchase of Equity Interests deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options to the extent such Equity Interests represented a portion of the exercise price of those stock options; provided, however, that such payments will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (g) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, the declaration of any payment of regularly scheduled or accrued dividends to (i) holders of any class or series of Disqualified Stock of the Parent issued on or after the date of the indenture pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Debt" and (ii) holders of any class or series of Preferred Stock (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Parent issued after the date of the indenture; provided that at the time of the issuance of such stock and after giving pro forma effect thereto (treating the aggregate liquidation preference of such Preferred Stock as Debt), the Company would have been able to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption "—Limitation on Debt;" provided, however, that such payments will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (h) payments, advances, loans or expense reimbursements made to any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent to permit the payment by such entity of reasonable general operating expenses, accounting, legal, corporate reporting and administrative expenses incurred in the ordinary course of its business in an amount not to exceed $1.0 million per annum (or $2.0 million per annum after the consummation of an initial public offering by the Parent or any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent); provided, however, that such payments will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

    corporation in respect of an allocable portion of the tax liabilities of such group that is attributable to the Parent and its Subsidiaries ("Tax Payments"); provided that the Tax Payments shall not exceed the lesser of (A) the amount of the relevant tax (including any penalties and interest) that the Parent would owe if the parent were filing a separate tax return (or a separate consolidated or combined return with its Subsidiaries that are members of the consolidated or combined group) taking into account any carryovers and carrybacks of tax attributes (such as net operating losses) of Parent and such Subsidiaries from other taxable years and (B) the net amount of the relevant tax that the Parent actually owes to the appropriate taxing authority; provided, further, that any Tax Payments received from the Parent shall be paid over to the appropriate taxing authority within 30 days of the parent's receipt of such Tax Payments or such payments shall be refunded to the Parent; provided, however, that such payments will be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (j) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, upon the occurrence of a Change of Control and within 90 days after completion of the offer to repurchase notes pursuant to the provisions described under "Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control" (including the purchase of all notes tendered), any repurchase or redemption of Debt of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries subordinated to the notes that is required to be repurchased or redeemed pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of such Change of Control, at a purchase price not greater than 101% of the outstanding principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any); provided that such redemptions or repurchases shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (k) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, within 90 days after completion of any offer to repurchase notes pursuant to the covenant described under "Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales" (including the purchase of all notes tendered), any repurchase or redemption of Debt of the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries subordinated to the notes that is required to be repurchased or redeemed pursuant to the terms thereof as a result of such Asset Sale, at a purchase price not greater than 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof (plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any); provided that such redemptions or repurchases shall be included in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments;

            (m) Investments that are made with Excluded Contributions; provided that such payments shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments; and

            (n) so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused thereby, other Restricted Payments in an amount not to exceed $15.0 million; provided that such amounts shall be excluded in the calculation of the amount of Restricted Payments.

        Limitation on Liens.    The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, Incur or suffer to exist, any Lien (other than Permitted Liens or Liens securing Senior Debt) upon any of its Property (including Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary), whether owned at the Issue Date or thereafter acquired, or any interest therein or any income or profits therefrom, unless:

110


            (a) if such Lien secures Senior Subordinated Debt, the notes or the applicable Guarantee are secured on an equal and ratable basis with such Debt; and

            (b) if such Lien secures Subordinated Obligations, such Lien shall be subordinated to a Lien securing the notes or the applicable Guarantee in the same Property as that securing such Lien to the same extent as such Subordinated Obligations are subordinated to the notes and the Guarantees.

        Limitation on Issuance or Sale of Capital Stock of Restricted Subsidiaries.    The Parent and the Company shall not, directly or indirectly:

            (a) sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any shares of Capital Stock of a Restricted Subsidiary (other than to secure Senior Debt permitted to be Incurred under the indenture), or

            (b) permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, issue or sell or otherwise dispose of any shares of its Capital Stock,

other than, in the case of either (a) or (b):

              (1) directors' qualifying shares,

              (2) to the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, or

              (3) a disposition of shares of Capital Stock of such Restricted Subsidiary (other than the Company or Holdings) such that following such disposition, such Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be a Subsidiary of the Parent or the Company; provided, however, that, in the case of this clause (3),

                (A) such disposition is effected in compliance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Asset Sales;"

                (B) such disposition is effected in compliance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments," if applicable; and

                (C) upon consummation of such disposition and execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, such Restricted Subsidiary shall be released from any Guarantee previously made by such Restricted Subsidiary.

        Limitation on Asset Sales.    The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, consummate any Asset Sale unless:

            (a) the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the Property subject to such Asset Sale;

            (b) at least 75% of the consideration paid to the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in connection with such Asset Sale is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents or the assumption by the purchaser of liabilities of the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities or liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the notes or the applicable Guarantee) as a result of which the Parent, the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries are no longer obligated with respect to such liabilities; and

            (c) the Company delivers an Officers' Certificate to the Trustee certifying that such Asset Sale complies with the foregoing clauses (a) and (b).

111



        For purposes of this provision, each of the following shall be deemed to be cash:

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

            (b) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Parent or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate Fair Market Value (measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value), taken together with all other Designated Noncash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (b) then outstanding, not to exceed $20.0 million.

        The Net Available Cash (or any portion thereof) from Asset Sales may be applied by the Parent, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, to the extent the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary elects (or is required by the terms of any Debt):

            (a) to Repay Senior Debt of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary (excluding, in any such case, any Debt owed to the Parent, the Company or an Affiliate of the Parent or the Company); or

            (b) to reinvest in Additional Assets (including by means of an Investment in Additional Assets by a Restricted Subsidiary with Net Available Cash received by the Parent, the Company or Restricted Subsidiary).

        Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash or that is not segregated from the general funds of the Company for investment in identified Additional Assets in respect of a project that shall have been commenced, and for which binding contractual commitments have been entered into, prior to the end of such 365-day period and that shall not have been completed or abandoned shall constitute "Excess Proceeds"; provided, however, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that ceases to be so segregated as contemplated above and any Net Available Cash that is segregated in respect of a project that is abandoned or completed shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds" at the time any such Net Available Cash ceases to be so segregated or at the time the relevant project is so abandoned or completed, as applicable; provided, further, however, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that continues to be segregated for investment in identified Additional Assets and that is not actually so invested within twelve months from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds."

        When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $10.0 million (taking into account income earned on such Excess Proceeds, if any), the Company will be required to make an offer to repurchase (the "Prepayment Offer") the notes, which offer shall be in the amount of the Allocable Excess Proceeds (rounded to the nearest $1,000), on a pro rata basis according to principal amount, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including Special Interest, if any, to the repurchase date (subject to the right of holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date), in accordance with the procedures (including prorating in the event of oversubscription) set forth in the indenture. To the extent that any portion of the amount of Net Available Cash remains after compliance with the preceding sentence and provided that all holders of notes have been given the opportunity to tender their notes for repurchase in accordance with the indenture, the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may use such remaining amount for any purpose permitted by the indenture, and the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset to zero.

112



        The term "Allocable Excess Proceeds" shall mean the product of:

            (a) the Excess Proceeds and

            (b) a fraction,

              (1) the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer, and

              (2) the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer and the aggregate principal amount of other Debt of the Company outstanding on the date of the Prepayment Offer that is pari passu in right of payment with the notes and subject to terms and conditions in respect of Asset Sales similar in all material respects to this covenant and requiring the Company to make an offer to repurchase such Debt at substantially the same time as the Prepayment Offer.

        Within five business days after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer as described in the preceding paragraph, the Company shall send a written notice, by first-class mail, to the holders of notes, accompanied by such information regarding the Parent, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries as the Company in good faith believes will enable such holders to make an informed decision with respect to such Prepayment Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the purchase price and the repurchase date, which shall be, subject to any contrary requirements of applicable law, a business day no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed.

        The Company will comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of notes pursuant to this covenant. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this covenant, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this covenant by virtue thereof.

        Limitation on Restrictions on Distributions from Restricted Subsidiaries.    The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist any consensual restriction on the right of any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to:

            (a) pay dividends, in cash or otherwise, or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock, or pay any Debt or other obligation owed, to any Restricted Subsidiary or, in the case of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not owned, directly or indirectly by the Company or any Guarantor, to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary,

            (b) make any loans or advances to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary, or

            (c) transfer any of its Property to the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary.

The foregoing limitations will not apply:

            (1) with respect to clauses (a), (b) and (c), to restrictions:

              (A) in effect on the Issue Date (including, without limitation, restrictions pursuant to the notes, the indenture and the Senior Credit Facility);

              (B) relating to Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary and existing at the time it became a Restricted Subsidiary if such restriction was not created in connection with or in anticipation of the transaction or series of transactions pursuant to which such Restricted Subsidiary became a Restricted Subsidiary or was acquired by the Parent or the Company;

113



              (C) that result from the Refinancing of Debt Incurred pursuant to an agreement referred to in clause (1)(A) or (B) above or in clause (1)(G), (2)(A) or (B) below; provided such restrictions are not more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreement evidencing the Debt so Refinanced;

              (D) contained in any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the indenture that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending such sale or other disposition;

              (E) relating to Debt or other contractual requirements or restrictions of a Securitization Subsidiary in connection with a Permitted Receivables Financing; provided that such restrictions only apply to such Securitization Subsidiary;

              (F) contained in any agreement governing Debt incurred by a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary permitted under the covenant described above under "—Limitation on Debt;" provided that such restrictions only apply to such Foreign Restricted Subsidiary; provided, further that such Debt is not guaranteed by the Parent or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries;

              (G) contained in any other agreement, instrument or document relating to Senior Debt in effect after the date of the indenture; provided that the terms and conditions of such restrictions are not materially more restrictive taken as a whole than those restrictions imposed in connection with the Senior Credit Facility as in effect on the date of the indenture (which may result in restrictions upon a Restricted Subsidiary so long as such restrictions are not materially more restrictive taken as a whole than the comparable restriction that is applicable to the Parent or the Company); and

            (2) with respect to clause (c) only, to restrictions:

              (A) relating to Debt that is permitted to be Incurred and secured without also securing the notes or the applicable Guarantee pursuant to the covenants described under "—Limitation on Debt" and "—Limitation on Liens" that limit the right of the debtor to dispose of the Property securing such Debt;

              (B) encumbering Property at the time such Property was acquired by the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, so long as such restrictions relate solely to the Property so acquired and were not created in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition;

              (C) resulting from customary provisions restricting subletting or assignment of leases or customary provisions in other agreements that restrict assignment of such agreements or rights thereunder;

              (D) customary restrictions contained in asset sale agreements, sale-leaseback agreements, stock sale agreements and other similar agreements limiting the transfer of such Property pending the closing of such sale;

              (E) customary restrictions contained in joint venture and similar agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business and otherwise permitted by the indenture;

              (F) customary non-assignment provisions in leases entered into in the ordinary course of business; and

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

114



        Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates.    The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of transactions (including the purchase, sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or exchange of any Property or the rendering of any service) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Parent or the Company (an "Affiliate Transaction"), unless:

            (a) the terms of such Affiliate Transaction are:

              (1) set forth in writing, and

              (2) no less favorable to the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that could be obtained in a comparable arm's-length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary,

            (b) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $2.0 million, the Board of Directors (including at least a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors) approves such Affiliate Transaction and, in its good faith judgment, believes that such Affiliate Transaction complies with clause (a)(2) of this paragraph as evidenced by a Board Resolution promptly delivered to the Trustee, and

            (c) if such Affiliate Transaction involves aggregate payments or value in excess of $10.0 million, the Company obtains a written opinion from an Independent Financial Advisor to the effect that the consideration to be paid or received in connection with such Affiliate Transaction is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Parent, the Company and their respective Restricted Subsidiaries.

        Notwithstanding the foregoing limitation, the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may enter into or suffer to exist the following:

            (a) any transaction or series of transactions between the Parent and one or more Restricted Subsidiaries or between two or more Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business;

            (b) any Restricted Payment permitted to be made pursuant to the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments" or any Permitted Investment;

            (c) the payment of compensation (including amounts paid pursuant to employee benefit plans) for the personal services of officers, directors and employees of the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries, so long as the Board of Directors in good faith shall have approved the terms thereof and deemed the services theretofore or thereafter to be performed for such compensation to be fair consideration therefor;

            (d) loans and advances to non-executive employees made in the ordinary course of business and consistent with the past practices of the Parent, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be; provided that such loans and advances do not exceed $1.0 million in the aggregate at any one time outstanding;

            (e) agreements in effect on the Issue Date and described in the offering memorandum relating to the initial sale of the notes on April 6, 2004 and any modifications, extensions or renewals thereto that are no less favorable to the Parent, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary than such agreements as in effect on the Issue Date;

            (f) customary indemnification agreements with officers and directors of the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries or of any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent;

            (g) transactions effected at the closing of the offering of the notes in connection with the Transactions, including the payment of all fees and expenses described in the offering

115

            (h) transactions with a Person (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Parent) that is an Affiliate of the Parent solely because the Parent owns, directly or through a Restricted Subsidiary, Capital Stock in or controls such Person;

            (i) any payments or other transactions pursuant to any tax sharing agreement between Parent and any other Person with which Parent files a consolidated tax return or with which Parent is part of a consolidated group for tax purposes;

            (j) transactions pursuant to the Management Agreement, as in effect on the date of the indenture, as such agreement may be amended, modified, or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreement, taken as a whole, is no less favorable to the Parent and its Restricted Subsidiaries than the Management Agreement as in effect on the date of the indenture;

            (k) the issuance of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) of the Parent to any direct or indirect parent entity of the Parent; and

            (l) transactions between a Securitization Subsidiary and the Parent or one or more Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with a Permitted Receivables Financing.

        Limitation on Layered Debt.    The Parent and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Guarantor to, Incur, directly or indirectly, any Debt that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt unless such Debt is Senior Subordinated Debt or is expressly subordinated in right of payment to Senior Subordinated Debt. In addition, no Guarantor shall Guarantee, directly or indirectly, any Debt of the Company that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to any Senior Debt unless such Guarantee is expressly subordinate in right of payment to, or ranks pari passu with, the Guarantee of such Guarantor. No Debt of the Parent, the Company or any Guarantor will be deemed to be subordinated in right of payment to any other Debt of the Parent, the Company or any Guarantor solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of the fact that the holders of such Debt have entered into intercreditor agreements or arrangements giving one or more of such holders priority over the other holders in the collateral held by them.

        Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries.    The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any of its respective Subsidiaries to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is permitted to make such Investment in such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary:

            (a) does not own any Capital Stock or Debt of, or own or hold any Lien on any Property of, the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary;

            (b) has no Debt other than Non-Recourse Debt; provided, however, that the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary may loan, advance, extend credit to, or guarantee the Debt of an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time at or after such Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the covenant described under "—Limitation on Restricted Payments;"

            (c) except as would be permitted by the covenant described above under "—Limitations on Transactions with Affiliates," is not party to any agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding with the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiaries unless the terms of any such agreement, contract, arrangement or understanding are no less favorable, taken as a whole, to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates of the Parent or the Company;

116



            (d) is a Person with respect to which neither the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiaries has any direct or indirect obligation (1) to subscribe for additional Capital Stock or (2) to maintain or preserve such Person's financial condition or to cause such Person to achieve any specified levels of operating results; and

            (e) has not guaranteed or otherwise directly or indirectly provided credit support for any Debt of the Parent or its Restricted Subsidiaries.

Unless so designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, any Person that becomes a Subsidiary of the Parent will be classified as a Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that such Subsidiary shall not be designated a Restricted Subsidiary and shall be automatically classified as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if either of the requirements set forth in clauses (x) and (y) of the second immediately following paragraph will not be satisfied after giving pro forma effect to such classification or if such Person is a Subsidiary of an Unrestricted Subsidiary.

        Except as provided in the first sentence of the preceding paragraph, no Restricted Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, and neither the Parent nor any Restricted Subsidiary shall at any time be directly or indirectly liable for any Debt that provides that the holder thereof may (with the passage of time or notice or both) declare a default thereon or cause the payment thereof to be accelerated or payable prior to its Stated Maturity upon the occurrence of a default with respect to any Debt, Lien or other obligation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary (including any right to take enforcement action against such Unrestricted Subsidiary). Upon designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this covenant, such Restricted Subsidiary shall, by execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, be released from any Guarantee previously made by such Restricted Subsidiary.

        The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation,

            (x) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Limitation on Debt," and

            (y) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom.

        Any such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers' Certificate that:

            (a) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the foregoing provisions, and

            (b) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation,

such filing with the Trustee to occur within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Parent in which such designation or redesignation is made (or, in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal quarter of the Parent's fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year).

        Future Guarantors.    The Parent and the Company shall cause each Person that becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary (other than a Securitization Subsidiary) following the Issue Date to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee at the time such Person becomes a Domestic Restricted Subsidiary. In addition, the Parent and the Company will cause each of its respective existing non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and each of its respective Foreign Restricted Subsidiaries created or acquired after the Issue Date which has guaranteed or which guarantees any Debt of the Parent or any of its Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries, to execute and deliver to the Trustee a Guarantee pursuant to which such non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary will guarantee payment of the Company's obligations under the notes on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the guarantee

117



of such other Debt of the Parent or any Domestic Restricted Subsidiary given by such non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary; provided that if such Debt is by its express terms subordinated in right of payment to the notes, any such guarantee of such non-Guarantor Subsidiary or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary with respect to such Debt will be subordinated in right of payment to such non-Guarantor Subsidiary's or Foreign Restricted Subsidiary's Guarantee with respect to the notes substantially to the same extent as such Debt is subordinated to the notes; provided, further, however, that any such Guarantee shall also provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released upon the release or discharge of such guarantee of payment of such other Debt (except a discharge by or as a result of payment under such guarantee).

Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property

        The Company shall not merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other Person (other than a merger of a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary into the Company) or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its Property in any one transaction or series of transactions unless:

            (a) the Company shall be the Surviving Person in such merger, consolidation or amalgamation, or the Surviving Person (if other than the Company) formed by such merger, consolidation or amalgamation or to which such sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or disposition is made shall be a corporation, partnership or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; provided, however, that if such Person is a limited liability company or partnership, a corporate Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of such Person becomes a co-issuer of the notes in connection therewith;

            (b) the Surviving Person (if other than the Company) expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such Surviving Person, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, all the notes, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of the indenture to be performed by the Company;

            (c) in the case of a sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all the Property of the Company, such Property shall have been transferred as an entirety or virtually as an entirety to one Person;

            (d) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating, for purposes of this clause (d) and clause (e) below, any Debt that becomes, or is anticipated to become, an obligation of the Surviving Person or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction or series of transactions as having been Incurred by the Surviving Person or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

            (e) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis, the Company or the Surviving Person, as the case may be, would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt under the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt;" and

            (f) the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction or series of transactions and the supplemental indenture, if any, in respect thereto comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction or series of transactions have been satisfied.

118



        The Parent shall not, and the Parent and the Company shall not permit any Guarantor to merge, consolidate or amalgamate with or into any other Person (other than a merger of a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary into the Company or such Guarantor) or sell, transfer, assign, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all its Property in any one transaction or series of transactions unless:

            (a) the Surviving Person (if not such Guarantor) formed by such merger, consolidation or amalgamation or to which such sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or disposition is made shall be a corporation, company (including a limited liability company) or partnership organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia;

            (b) the Surviving Person (if other than such Guarantor) expressly assumes, by supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such Surviving Person, the due and punctual performance and observance of all the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee;

            (c) in the case of a sale, transfer, assignment, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all the Property of such Guarantor, such Property shall have been transferred as an entirety or virtually as an entirety to one Person;

            (d) immediately before and after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis (and treating, for purposes of this clause (d) and clause (e) below, any Debt that becomes, or is anticipated to become, an obligation of the Surviving Person, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary as a result of such transaction or series of transactions as having been Incurred by the Surviving Person, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary at the time of such transaction or series of transactions), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

            (e) immediately after giving effect to such transaction or series of transactions on a pro forma basis, the Company would be able to Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt under the first paragraph of the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Debt;" and

            (f) the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such transaction or series of transactions and such Subsidiary Guarantee, if any, in respect thereto comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction or series of transactions have been satisfied.

The foregoing provisions (other than clause (d)) shall not apply to any transaction or series of transactions which constitute an Asset Sale if the Parent and the Company have complied with the covenant described under "—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Asset Sales."

        The Surviving Person shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the indenture (or of the Guarantor under the Guarantee, as the case may be), but the predecessor entity in the case of:

            (a) a sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition (unless such sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or other disposition is of all the assets of the Parent or the Company as an entirety or virtually as an entirety), or

            (b) a lease,

shall not be released from any of the obligations or covenants under the indenture, including with respect to the payment of the notes and the obligations under the Guarantees.

119


Payments for Consents

        The Parent and the Company will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any holder of any notes for or as an inducement to any consent, waiver or amendment of any of the terms or provisions of the indenture or the notes unless such consideration is offered to be paid or is paid to all holders of the notes that consent, waive or agree to amend in the time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such consent, waiver or agreement.

SEC Reports

        Notwithstanding that the Parent may not be subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Parent shall file with the Commission and provide the Trustee and holders of notes with such annual reports and such information, documents and other reports as are specified in Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable to a U.S. entity subject to such Sections, such information, documents and reports to be so filed with the Commission and provided at the times specified for the filing of such information, documents and reports under such Sections; provided, however, that the Parent shall not be so obligated to file such information, documents and reports with the Commission prior to the completion of the Registered Exchange Offer and, in any event, if the Commission does not permit such filings.

Events of Default

        Events of Default in respect of the notes include:

            (1) failure to make the payment of any interest or Special Interest, if any, on the notes when the same becomes due and payable, and such failure continues for a period of 30 days;

            (2) failure to make the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any, on, any of the notes when the same becomes due and payable at its Stated Maturity, upon acceleration, redemption, optional redemption, required repurchase or otherwise;

            (3) failure to comply with the covenant described under "—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property;"

            (4) failure to comply with any other covenant or agreement in the notes or in the indenture (other than a failure that is the subject of the foregoing clause (1), (2) or (3)), and such failure continues for 30 days after written notice is given to the Company as provided below;

            (5) a default under any Debt by the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary that results in acceleration of the maturity of such Debt, or failure to pay any such Debt at final maturity, in an aggregate amount greater than $10.0 million or its foreign currency equivalent at the time (the "cross acceleration provisions");

            (6) any judgment or judgments for the payment of money in an aggregate amount in excess of $10.0 million (or its foreign currency equivalent at the time) (net of any amounts that a reputable and creditworthy insurance company shall have acknowledged liability for in writing) that shall be rendered against the Parent or any Restricted Subsidiary and that shall not be waived, satisfied or discharged for any period of 30 consecutive days during which a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect (the "judgment default provisions");

            (7) certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Significant Restricted Subsidiaries (the "bankruptcy provisions"); and

120



            (8) any Guarantee of the Parent or a Significant Restricted Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect (other than in accordance with the terms of such Guarantee) or any Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under its Guarantee (the "guarantee provisions").

        A Default under clause (4) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cause such Default to be cured within the time specified after receipt of such notice. Such notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that such notice is a "Notice of Default."

        In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the notes because an Event of Default described in clause (5) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default shall be remedied or cured by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal, premium or interest on the notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the notes have been cured or waived.

        The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 30 days after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officers' Certificate of any event that with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default, its status and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

        If an Event of Default with respect to the notes (other than an Event of Default resulting from certain events involving bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in clause (7) above) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee or the registered holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding may declare to be immediately due and payable the principal amount of all the notes then outstanding, plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of acceleration. In case an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in clause (7) above shall occur, such amount with respect to all the notes shall be due and payable immediately without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the notes. After any such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration is obtained by the Trustee, the registered holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of accelerated principal, premium or interest, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture.

        Subject to the provisions of the indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the notes, unless such holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity. Subject to such provisions for the indemnification of the Trustee, the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the notes.

        No holder of notes will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless:

              (a) such holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives the notice from the Company;

121


              (b) the registered holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding have made a written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee; and

              (c) the Trustee shall not have received from the registered holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days.

However, such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by a holder of any Note for enforcement of payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, such Note on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Note.

Amendments and Waivers

        Subject to certain exceptions, the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the registered holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes then outstanding (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the notes) may amend the indenture, the notes and the Guarantees, and the registered holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes outstanding may waive any past default or compliance with any provisions of the indenture, the notes and the Guarantees (except a default in the payment of principal, premium, interest, including Special Interest, if any, and certain covenants and provisions of the indenture which cannot be amended without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note). However, without the consent of each holder of an outstanding Note, no amendment may, among other things,

            (1) reduce the amount of notes whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver,

            (2) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest, including Special Interest, if any, on, any Note,

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

            (4) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note,

            (5) impair the right of any holder of the notes to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, 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 or any Guarantee,

            (6) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed, as described under "—Optional Redemption";

            (7) reduce the premium payable upon a Change of Control or, at any time after a Change of Control has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the notes must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer,

            (8) at any time after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, change the time at which such Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto,

            (9) make any change to the subordination provisions of the indenture that would adversely affect the holders of the notes, or

            (10) make any change in any Guarantee that would adversely affect the holders of the notes.

122



        The indenture, the notes and the Guarantees may be amended by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of any holder of the notes to:

            (1) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in any manner that is not adverse in any material respect to any holder of the notes,

            (2) provide for the assumption by a Surviving Person of the obligations of the Parent or the Company under the indenture,

            (3) provide for uncertificated notes in addition to or in place of certificated notes (provided that the uncertificated notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code),

            (4) add additional Guarantees with respect to the notes or release Guarantors from Guarantees as provided or permitted by the terms of the indenture,

            (5) secure the notes, add to the covenants of the Parent and the Company for the benefit of the holders of the notes or surrender any right or power conferred upon the Parent or the Company,

            (6) make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of the notes,

            (7) make any change to the subordination provisions of the indenture that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Debt under such provisions,

            (8) comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of the indenture under the Trust indenture Act,

            (9) add a co-issuer of the notes as contemplated under "—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property;" or

            (10) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the indenture.

        No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of the indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or their Representative) consent to such change. The consent of the holders of the notes is not necessary to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment. After an amendment becomes effective, the Company is required to mail to each registered holder of the notes at such holder's address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing such amendment. However, the failure to give such notice to all holders of the notes, or any defect therein, will not impair or affect the validity of the amendment.

Defeasance

        The Company at any time may terminate all its obligations under the notes and the indenture and all of the obligations of the Guarantors ("legal defeasance"), except for certain obligations, including those respecting the defeasance trust and obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the notes, to replace mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen notes and to maintain a registrar and paying agent in respect of the notes. In addition, the Company at any time may terminate:

            (1) the obligations of the Company and its Restricted Subsidaries under the covenants described under "—Repurchase at the Option of Holders Upon a Change of Control" and "—Certain Covenants,"

123


            (2) the operation of the cross acceleration provisions, the judgment default provisions and the bankruptcy provisions with respect to Significant Restricted Subsidiaries and the guarantee provisions described under "—Events of Default" above, and

            (3) the limitations contained in clause (e) under the first and second paragraph of "—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property" above ("covenant defeasance").

        The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

        If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default with respect thereto. If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (4) (with respect to the covenants described under "—Certain Covenants"), (5), (6), (7) (with respect only to Significant Restricted Subsidiaries) or (8) under "—Events of Default" above or because of the failure of the Company or the Parent to comply with clause (e) under the first and second paragraph of, "—Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Property" above. If the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option, each Guarantor will be released from all its obligations under its Guarantee.

        The legal defeasance option or the covenant defeasance option may be exercised only if:

            (a) the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, including Special Interest, if any, on the notes to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

            (b) the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressing their opinion that the payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest when due and without reinvestment on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will be sufficient to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest when due on all the notes to be defeased to maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

            (c) the Company must deliver to the trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of the notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others;

            (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit and after giving effect thereto (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit);

            (e) such deposit does not constitute a default under any other material agreement or instrument binding on the Company (other than the indenture);

            (f) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940;

            (g) in the case of the legal defeasance option, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that:

              (1) the Company has received from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

              (2) since the date of the indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, to the effect, in either case, that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of the notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal

124



      income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the case if such defeasance has not occurred;

            (h) in the case of the covenant defeasance option, the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holders of the notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

            (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance and discharge of the notes have been complied with as required by the indenture.

Governing Law

        The indenture and the notes are governed by the internal laws of the State of New York without reference to principles of conflicts of law.

The Trustee

        U.S. Bank National Association is the Trustee under the indenture.

        Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee will perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the indenture. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Trustee will exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it under the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

Certain Definitions

        Set forth below is a summary of certain of the defined terms used in the indenture. Reference is made to the indenture for the full definition of all such terms as well as any other capitalized terms used herein for which no definition is provided. Unless the context otherwise requires, an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning assigned to it in accordance with GAAP.

        "Acquired Debt" means Debt of a Person outstanding on the date on which such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary (including by way or merger, consolidation or amalgamation) or assumed in connection with the acquisition of assets from such Person.

        "Additional Assets" means:

            (a) any Property (other than cash, Cash Equivalent and securities) to be owned by the Parent, the Company or any of their respective Restricted Subsidiaries and used in a Permitted Business; or

            (b) Capital Stock of a Person that becomes a Restricted Subsidiary as a result of the acquisition of such Capital Stock by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary from any Person other than the Parent, the Company or a Subsidiary of the Parent; provided, however, that such Restricted Subsidiary is primarily engaged in a Permitted Business.

        "Affiliate" of any specified Person means:

            (a) any other Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified Person, or

125

              (2) any Subsidiary of such specified Person, or

              (3) any Person described in clause (a) above.

For the purposes of this definition, "control," when used with respect to any Person, means the power to direct the management and policies of such Person, directly or indirectly, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise; and the terms "controlling" and "controlled" have meanings correlative to the foregoing. For purposes of the covenants described under—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Transactions with Affiliates and "—Limitation on Asset Sales" and the definition of "Additional Assets" only, "Affiliate" shall also mean any beneficial owner of shares representing 10% or more of the total voting power of the Voting Stock (on a fully diluted basis) of the Parent or of rights or warrants to purchase such Voting Stock and any Person who would be an Affiliate of any such beneficial owner pursuant to the first sentence hereof.

Book-Entry System

        The notes will be initially issued in the form of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC") or its nominee.

        Upon the issuance of a Global Security, DTC or its nominee will credit the accounts of Persons holding through it with the respective principal amounts of the notes represented by such Global Security purchased by such Persons in the offering. Such accounts shall be designated by the initial purchasers. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to Persons that have accounts with DTC ("participants") or Persons that may hold interests through participants. Any Person acquiring an interest in a Global Security through an offshore transaction in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act may hold such interest through Clearstream Banking, S.A. or Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership interest will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC (with respect to participants' interests) and such participants (with respect to the owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security other than participants). The laws of some jurisdictions require that certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.

        Payment of principal of and interest on notes represented by a Global Security will be made in immediately available funds to DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the sole registered owner and the sole holder of the notes represented thereby for all purposes under the indenture. The Company has been advised by DTC that upon receipt of any payment of principal of or interest on any Global Security, DTC will immediately credit, on its book-entry registration and transfer system, the accounts of participants with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal or face amount of such Global Security as shown on the records of DTC. Payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices as is now the case with securities held for customer accounts registered in "street name" and will be the sole responsibility of such participants.

        A Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by DTC or a nominee of DTC to a nominee of DTC or to DTC. A Global Security is exchangeable for certificated notes only if:

            (a) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depositary for such Global Security or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act,

            (b) the Company in its discretion at any time determines not to have all the notes represented by such Global Security, or

            (c) there shall have occurred and be continuing a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the notes represented by such Global Security.

Any Global Security that is exchangeable for certificated notes pursuant to the preceding sentence will be exchanged for certificated notes in authorized denominations and registered in such names as DTC or any successor depositary holding such Global Security may direct. Subject to the foregoing, a Global

149


Security is not exchangeable, except for a Global Security of like denomination to be registered in the name of DTC or any successor depositary or its nominee. In the event that a Global Security becomes exchangeable for certificated notes,

            (a) certificated notes will be issued only in fully registered form in denominations of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof,

            (b) payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the certificated notes will be payable, and the transfer of the certificated notes will be registrable, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purposes, and

            (c) no service charge will be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of the certificated notes, although the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.

        So long as DTC or any successor depositary for a Global Security, or any nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, DTC or such successor depositary or nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the notes represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the indenture and the notes. Except as set forth above, owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the notes represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificated notes in definitive form and will not be considered to be the owners or holders of any notes under such Global Security. Accordingly, each Person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Security must rely on the procedures of DTC or any successor depositary, and, if such Person is not a participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such Person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder under the indenture. The Company understands that under existing industry practices, in the event that the Company requests any action of holders or that an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security desires to give or take any action which a holder is entitled to give or take under the indenture, DTC or any successor depositary would authorize the participants holding the relevant beneficial interest to give or take such action and such participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to give or take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

        DTC has advised the Company that DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the Banking Law of the State of New York, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and a "clearing agency" registered under the Exchange Act. DTC was created to hold the securities of its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions among its participants in such securities through electronic book-entry changes in accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement of securities certificates. DTC's participants include securities brokers and dealers (which may include the initial purchasers), banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations some of whom (or their representatives) own DTC. Access to DTC's book-entry system is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly.

        Although DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in Global Securities among participants of DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. None of the Company, the Trustee or the initial purchasers will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

CERTAIN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

        The following discussion is a summary of the certain United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the "Code," United States Treasury regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions now in effect, all of which are subject to change at any time. Any such change may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a holder of the notes. This discussion does not address all of the United States federal income tax consequences that may be relevant to a holder in light of such holder's particular circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as certain financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, insurance companies, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, United States Holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt organizations and persons holding the notes as part of a "straddle," "hedge," "conversion transaction" or other integrated transaction. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons purchasing the notes for cash at original issue and at their "issue price" within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code (i.e., the first price at which a substantial amount of notes are sold to the public for cash). Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local, foreign or other tax laws, including gift and estate tax laws is not discussed. The discussion deals only with notes held as "capital assets" (generally, property for investment) within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code.

        As used herein, "United States Holder" means a beneficial owner of the notes who or that is:

    an individual that is a citizen or resident of the United States, including an alien individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States or meets the "substantial presence" test under Section 7701(b) of the Code;

    a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or a State thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate, the income of which is subject to United States federal income tax regardless of its source; or

    a trust, if a United States court can exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust and one or more United States persons can control all substantial trust decisions, or, if the trust was in existence on August 20, 1996, a trust that has elected to continue to be treated as a United States person.

        If a partnership or other entity taxable as a partnership holds notes, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding the notes, you should consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of the notes.

        We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, with respect to the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance that the IRS will not take a different position concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership or disposition of the notes or that any position would not be sustained.

        PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH REGARD TO THE APPLICATION OF THE TAX CONSEQUENCES DISCUSSED BELOW TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAX LAWS, INCLUDING GIFT AND ESTATE TAX LAWS, AND ANY TAX TREATIES.

151



United States Holders

Interest

        Payments of stated interest on the notes generally will be taxable to a United States Holder as ordinary income at the time that such payments are received or accrued, in accordance with such United States Holder's method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes. In certain circumstances (see "Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control" and "Exchange Offer; Registration Rights") we may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of stated interest or principal on the notes. According to Treasury regulations, the possibility that any such payments in excess of stated interest or principal will be made will not affect the amount of interest income a United States Holder recognizes if there is only a remote chance as of the date the notes were issued that such payments will be made. We believe that the likelihood that we will be obligated to make any such payments is remote. Therefore, we do not intend to treat the potential payment of additional interest or the potential payment of a premium pursuant to the change of control provisions as part of the yield to maturity of any notes. Our determination that these contingencies are remote is binding on a United States Holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable Treasury regulations. Our determination is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to challenge this determination, a United States Holder might be required to accrue income on its notes in excess of stated interest, and to treat as ordinary income rather than capital gain any income realized on the taxable disposition of a note before the resolution of the contingencies. In the event a contingency occurs, it would affect the amount and timing of the income recognized by a United States Holder. If we pay additional interest on the notes or a premium pursuant to the change of control provisions, United States Holders will be required to recognize such amounts as income.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes

        A United States Holder will recognize gain or loss on the sale, exchange (other than for exchange notes pursuant to the exchange offer or a tax-free transaction), redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note equal to the difference between the sum of the cash and the fair market value of any property received in exchange therefor (less a portion allocable to any accrued and unpaid interest, which generally will be taxable as ordinary income if not previously included in such holder's income) and the United States Holder's adjusted tax basis in the note. A United States Holder's adjusted tax basis in a note generally will be the United States Holder's cost therefor, less any principal payments received by such holder. This gain or loss generally will be a capital gain or loss. In the case of a non-corporate United States Holder, such capital gain will be subject to tax at a reduced rate if a note is held for more than one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.

Exchange Offer

        The exchange of the notes for the exchange notes will not constitute a taxable exchange. See "Exchange Offer." As a result, (1) a United States Holder will not recognize taxable gain or loss as a result of exchanging such holder's notes; (2) the holding period of the exchange notes will include the holding period of the notes exchanged therefor; and (3) the adjusted tax basis of the exchange notes received will be the same as the adjusted tax basis of the notes exchanged therefor immediately before such exchange.

Backup Withholding

        A United States Holder may be subject to a backup withholding tax when such holder receives interest and principal payments on the notes held or upon the proceeds received upon the sale or other disposition of such notes. Certain holders (including, among others, corporations and certain

152



tax-exempt organizations) are generally not subject to backup withholding. A United States Holder will be subject to this backup withholding tax if such holder is not otherwise exempt and such holder:

    fails to furnish its taxpayer identification number, or TIN, which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number;

    furnishes an incorrect TIN;

    is notified by the IRS that it has failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or

    fails to certify, under penalties of perjury, that it has furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified the United States Holder that it is subject to backup withholding.

        United States Holders should consult their personal tax advisor regarding their qualification for an exemption from backup withholding and the procedures for obtaining such an exemption, if applicable. The backup withholding tax is not an additional tax and taxpayers may use amounts withheld as a credit against their United States federal income tax liability or may claim a refund as long as they timely provide certain information to the IRS.

Non-United States Holders

        A non-United States Holder is a beneficial owner of the notes who or that is not a United States Holder.

Interest

        Interest paid to a non-United States Holder will not be subject to United States federal withholding tax of 30% (or, if applicable, a lower treaty rate) provided that:

    such holder does not directly or indirectly, actually or constructively, own 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all of our classes of stock;

    such holder is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to us through stock ownership and is not a bank that received such notes on an extension of credit made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business; and

    either (1) the non-United States Holder certifies in a statement provided to us or our paying agent, under penalties of perjury, that it is not a "United States person" within the meaning of the Code and provides its name and address (generally by completing IRS Form W-8BEN), (2) a securities clearing organization, bank or other financial institution that holds customers' securities in the ordinary course of its trade or business and holds the notes on behalf of the non-United States Holder certifies to us or our paying agent under penalties of perjury that it, or the financial institution between it and the non-United States Holder, has received from the non-United States Holder a statement, under penalties of perjury, that such holder is not a "United States person" and provides us or our paying agent with a copy of such statement or (3) the non-United States Holder holds its notes directly through a "qualified intermediary" and certain conditions are satisfied.

        Even if the above conditions are not met, a non-United States Holder may be entitled to an exemption from withholding tax if the interest is effectively connected to a United States trade or business, as described below, or to a reduction in or an exemption from withholding tax on interest under a tax treaty between the United States and the non-United States Holder's country of residence. To claim a reduction or exemption under a tax treaty, a non-United States Holder must generally complete an IRS Form W-8BEN and claim the reduction or exemption on the form. In some cases, a non-United States Holder may instead be permitted to provide documentary evidence of its claim to

153


the intermediary, or a qualified intermediary may already have some or all of the necessary evidence in its files.

        The certification requirements described above may require a non-United States Holder that provides an IRS form, or that claims the benefit of an income tax treaty, to also provide its United States TIN.

        Any additional interest payable on the notes as discussed under "United States Holders—Interest" should be treated as a payment of interest as discussed above.

Sale or Other Taxable Disposition of the Notes

        A non-United States Holder will generally not be subject to United States federal income tax or withholding tax on gain recognized on the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other taxable disposition of a note so long as (i) the gain is not effectively connected with the conduct by the non-United States Holder of a trade or business within the United States, as described below, and (ii) in the case of a Non-United States Holder who is an individual, such non-United States Holder is not present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other requirements are met.

United States Trade or Business

        If interest or gain from a disposition of the notes is effectively connected with a non-United States Holder's conduct of a United States trade or business, and if an income tax treaty applies and the non-United States Holder maintains a United States "permanent establishment" (or a fixed base, in the case of an individual) to which the interest or gain is generally attributable, the non-United States Holder may be subject to United States federal income tax on the interest or gain on a net basis in the same manner as if it were a United States Holder. If interest income received with respect to the notes is taxable on a net basis, the 30% withholding tax described above will not apply (assuming an appropriate certification is provided, generally IRS Form W-8ECI). A foreign corporation that is a holder of a note also may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% of its effectively connected earnings and profits for the taxable year, subject to certain adjustments, unless it qualifies for a lower rate under an applicable income tax treaty. For this purpose, interest on a note or gain recognized on the disposition of a note will be included in earnings and profits if the interest or gain is effectively connected with the conduct by the foreign corporation of a trade or business in the United States.

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

        Backup withholding will likely not apply to payments of principal or interest made by us or our paying agents, in their capacities as such, to a non-United States Holder of a note if the holder is exempt from withholding tax on interest as described above. However, information reporting on IRS Form 1042-S may still apply with respect to interest payments. Payments of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-United States Holder of a note made to or through a foreign office of a broker will not be subject to information reporting or backup withholding, except that information reporting (but generally not backup withholding) may apply to those payments if the broker is:

    a United States person;

    a controlled foreign corporation for United States federal income tax purposes;

    a foreign person 50% or more of whose gross income is effectively connected with a United States trade or business for a specified three-year period; or

    a foreign partnership, if at any time during its tax year, one or more of its partners are United States persons, as defined in Treasury regulations, who in the aggregate hold more than 50% of

154


      the income or capital interest in the partnership or if, at any time during its tax year, the foreign partnership is engaged in a United States trade or business.

        Payment of the proceeds from a disposition by a non-United States Holder of a note made to or through the United States office of a broker is generally subject to information reporting and backup withholding unless the holder certifies as to its non-United States status or otherwise establishes an exemption from information reporting and backup withholding.

        Non-United States Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding application of withholding and backup withholding in their particular circumstance and the availability of and procedure for obtaining an exemption from withholding and backup withholding under current Treasury regulations. In this regard, the current Treasury regulations provide that a certification may not be relied on if we or our agent (or other payor) knows or has reason to know that the certification may be false. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a non-United States Holder will be allowed as a credit against the holder's United States federal income tax liability or may be refunded, provided the required information is furnished in a timely manner to the IRS.

155



PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

        Each participating broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a participating broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received by it in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that for a period of one year after the expiration date, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any participating broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.

        We will not receive any proceeds from any sales of the exchange notes by participating broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by participating broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such participating broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any participating broker-dealer that resells the exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of exchange notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a participating broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act.

        For a period of one year after the expiration date we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment or supplement to this prospectus to any participating broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal.

        Prior to the exchange offer, there has not been any public market for the outstanding notes. The outstanding notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and will be subject to restrictions on transferability to the extent that they are not exchanged for exchange notes by holders who are entitled to participate in this exchange offer. The holders of outstanding notes, other than any holder that is our affiliate within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act, who are not eligible to participate in the exchange offer are entitled to certain registration rights, and we may be required to file a shelf registration statement with respect to their outstanding notes. The exchange notes will constitute a new issue of securities with no established trading market. We do not intend to list the exchange notes on any national securities exchange or to seek the admission thereof to trading in the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System. The initial purchasers have advised us that they currently intend to make a market in the exchange notes. Such market making activity will be subject to the limits imposed by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and may be limited during the exchange offer and the pendency of any shelf registration statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that an active public or other market will develop for the exchange notes or as to the liquidity of the trading market for the exchange notes. If a trading market does not develop or is not maintained, holders of the exchange notes may experience difficulty in reselling the exchange notes or may be unable to sell them at all. If a market for the exchange notes develops, any such market may be discontinued at any time.

Prestige Brands International, LLC

Notes to Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share data)

1.  BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

        On February 6, 2004, Prestige Brands International, LLC (the "Company"), a newly formed entity and wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige International Holdings, LLC ("Prestige Holdings"), through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Medtech Holdings, Inc. ("Medtech") and The Denorex Company ("Denorex") (collectively the "Predecessor Company") (the "Medtech Acquisition"). Prestige Holdings is controlled by affiliates of GTCR Golder Rauner, LLC ("GTCR"). On March 5, 2004, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of The Spic and Span Company ("Spic and Span") (the "Spic and Span Acquisition"). On April 6, 2004, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. ("Bonita Bay") (the "Bonita Bay Acquisition"). The Medtech, Spic and Span and Bonita Bay Acquisitions are further discussed in Note 2.

        The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of over-the-counter, personal care brands and household cleaning brands to mass merchandisers, drug stores, supermarkets and hospitals primarily in the United States.

Basis of Presentation

        The Medtech Acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction. As a result, the combined Medtech and Denorex assets and liabilities have been adjusted to fair value as of February 6, 2004, in accordance with SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations". For financial reporting purposes, Medtech and Denorex, which were under common control and management, are considered the predecessor entities. Accordingly, the balance sheet as of March 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from April 1, 2003 to February 5, 2004 and the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, represent the combined historical financial statements of Medtech and its subsidiaries and Denorex ("predecessor basis"). The balance sheet of the Company as of March 31, 2004 and the results of operations and cash flows for the period from February 6, 2004 to March 31, 2004 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and reflect those purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the Medtech Acquisition ("successor basis") and the Spic and Span Acquisition. The Bonita Bay Acquisition was also accounted for as a purchase transaction subsequent to March 31, 2004. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

        Substantially all of the Company's cash is held by two banks located in Wyoming and California, respectively. The Company does not believe that, as a result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

F-9



Accounts Receivable

        The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To minimize credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained; however collateral is not required.

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Machinery   5 years
Computer equipment   3 years
Furniture and fixtures   7 years

        Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

        Property and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Goodwill

        The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in acquisition transactions is classified as goodwill. Through March 31, 2002, goodwill was amortized on the straight-line method over 15 years. Effective April 1, 2002, the Predecessor Company ceased amortization of goodwill as described in Note 7. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, the Company does not amortize goodwill, but performs certain fair value tests of the carrying value at least annually.

Other Long-Term Assets

        Other long-term assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. For amortizable intangible assets, amortization is computed on the straight-line method as follows:

Trademarks   15 - 30 years   (predecessor basis)
Trademarks     5 - 30 years   (successor basis)

F-10


        The Company and Predecessor Company have incurred debt issuance costs in connection with their long-term debt. These costs are capitalized and amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the related debt.

        Indefinite lived intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually.

        Amortizable intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenues are recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer discounts and returns at the time of sale.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

        Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Slotting fees associated with products are recognized as a reduction of sales. Under slotting arrangements, the retailers allow the Company's products to be placed on the stores' shelves in exchange for slotting fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock or units and the exercise price of the option.

Income Taxes

        The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes. The tax effects of the Company's operations are passed directly to the members. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been recorded in the financial statements for income or loss generated by Prestige Brands International, LLC. Medtech, Denorex and Spic and Span are taxed as corporations. The Company and Predecessor Company account for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized.

F-11



Derivative Instruments

        SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"), requires companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in an international operation.

        The Company and Predecessor Company have designated their derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

        In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46R"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (revised December 2003)," FIN 46R addresses consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities, as defined. For entities created after December 31, 2003, the Company will be required to apply FIN 46R as of the date it first becomes involved with the entity. FIN 46R is effective for the Company for entities created before December 31, 2003, for the period ending March 31, 2004. The adoption of FIN 46R had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity". This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. Under SFAS No. 150, an issuer is required to classify financial instruments issued in the form of shares that are mandatorily redeemable, financial instruments that, at inception, embody an obligation to repurchase the issuer's equity shares and financial instruments that embody an unconditional obligation, as liabilities. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and was effective for the Company for the year ended March 31, 2004. On November 7, 2003, the FASB indefinitely deferred the classification and measurement provisions of SFAS No. 150 as they apply to certain mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. This deferral is expected to remain in effect while these provisions are further evaluated by the FASB. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Purchaser. Subsequent to March 31, 2004, the Company received $445 from the Purchaser in full satisfaction of the earn-out provision. The Company recorded this consideration as an acquired receivable in purchase accounting.

7.  GOODWILL

        Effective April 1, 2002, the Predecessor Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 requires that companies perform periodic evaluations of potential impairment of goodwill, with the initial assessment to be completed during the first six months of the year in which SFAS 142 is first applied. The Predecessor Company performed an evaluation of its goodwill, and determined that an impairment charge equal to the goodwill carrying amount of $18,252 ($11,785 net of tax benefit of $6,467) should be recorded as of April 1, 2002 related to the Predecessor Company's Pecos reporting unit. As provided in SFAS 142, this impairment charge was recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. The change in carrying amount of goodwill is as follows:

Predecessor Basis        
Balance as of March 31, 2002   $ 18,252  
Transition impairment adjustment recorded as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of April 1, 2002     (18,252 )
   
 
Balance as of March 31, 2003      

Successor Basis

 

 

 

 
Goodwill acquired in the Medtech Acquisition     55,594  
   
 
Balance as of March 31, 2004   $ 55,594  
   
 

        As a result of the adoption of SFAS 142, no amortization of goodwill has been recorded since April 1, 2002. For the year ended March 31, 2002, the Predecessor Company recorded amortization of goodwill of $962, net of income tax benefit of $518.

F-17



        The following table reflects what the Predecessor Company's net income (loss) would have been for the years ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 before the change in accounting principle and exclusive of amortization expense related to goodwill:

The Bonita Bay Acquisition

        In order to finance the Bonita Bay Acquisition and repay certain existing indebtedness, including debt incurred in connection with the Medtech Acquisition, and pay related fees and expenses, the Company entered into the financing agreements set forth in the following paragraphs.

F-20



        On April 6, 2004, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the "Senior Credit Facility", consisting of a $50 million non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility"), a $355.0 million senior secured term loan facility, ("Tranche B Term Loan Facility") and a $100.0 million second lien term loan facility ("Tranche C Term Loan Facility"). On April 6, 2004, the Company also issued $210.0 million of 9.25% senior subordinated notes ("Senior Subordinated Notes").

        The Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Tranche B and C Term Loan Facilities bear interest at the Company's option of either prime (4.25% at April 6, 2004) or LIBOR (1.125% at April 6, 2004) plus a variable margin and mature on April 6, 2011 and October 6, 2011, respectively. At April 6, 2004, the applicable interest rates on the Tranche B and C Term Loan Facilities were 4.075% and 7.75% respectively. Interest payments on Tranche C are due quarterly. Principal and interest payments on Tranche B are due quarterly.

        The Revolving Credit Facility is available until April 6, 2009. At April 6, 2004, the Company was eligible to borrow $50 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, of which there was $3,512 outstanding. The Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranges from 0.75% to 2.50%. At April 6, 2004, the applicable interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility was 5.5%. The Company is also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility. At April 6, 2004, the applicable rate was 0.50%.

        The Senior Subordinated Notes ("Notes") mature on April 15, 2012 and bear interest at 9.25%. Interest is payable on April 15 and October 15, each year, beginning on October 15, 2004. The total principal amount is due on April 15, 2012. The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes on or prior to April 15, 2008 at a redemption price equal to 100% plus a make-whole premium and on or after April 15, 2008 at redemption prices set forth in the Note agreement. At any time prior to April 15, 2007, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes in an amount not to exceed the amount of proceeds of one or more equity offerings, at a price equal to 109.250% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided that at least 60% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued remains outstanding after the redemption. The Company has entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Notes which grants those purchasers exchange and registration rights with respect to the Notes. Under the registration rights agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement 90 days after the issue date of the Notes enabling the holders to exchange the Notes for publicly registered exchange notes with substantially identical terms. The Notes are guaranteed by Prestige Holdings.

        The Senior Credit Facility and Senior Subordinated Notes include various restrictive covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends.

F-21



The Medtech and Spic and Span Acquisitions

        In order to finance the Medtech and Spic and Span Acquisitions, repay certain existing indebtedness, and pay related fees and expenses, the Company entered into the financing agreements set forth in the following paragraphs.

        On February 6, 2004, the Company entered into a new senior secured credit facility (the "Medtech Senior Credit Facility"), consisting of a $20 million non-amortizing senior secured revolving credit facility ("Medtech Revolving Credit Facility") and a $100.0 million senior secured term loan facility ("Medtech Term Loan Facility"). On February 6, 2004, the Company also issued $42.9 million of 12.0% subordinated notes ("Medtech Subordinated Notes").

        The Medtech Senior Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets. The Medtech Term Loan Facility bears interest at the Company's option of either prime (4.0% at March 31, 2004) or LIBOR (1.125% at March 31, 2004) plus a variable margin and matures on February 5, 2009. At March 31, 2004, the applicable interest rate on the Medtech Term Loan Facility was 4.625%. Principal and interest payments on the facility are due quarterly.

At March 31, 2004, the Company was eligible to borrow $19,302 on the facility, of which there was $10,548 outstanding. The facility bore interest at the Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranged from 3.0% to 3.5%. At March 31, 2004, the applicable interest rate on the facility was 6.0%. The Company is also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the facility. At March 31, 2004, the applicable rate was 0.50%. The outstanding borrowings on the facility were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Bonita Bay Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Medtech Subordinated Notes ("Notes") matured on February 6, 2014 and bore interest at 12% payable quarterly, beginning on May 20, 2004. The total principal amount was due on February 6, 2014. The outstanding Notes were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Bonita Bay Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Medtech Senior Credit Facility and Subordinated Notes include various restrictive covenants that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2004.

Predecessor Company

        On March 1, 2001, the Predecessor Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank to provide $55,000 in debt ("Term Commitments A and B") and a $10,000 revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line", or together with Term Commitments A and B, the "Senior Debt"). Simultaneously, the Predecessor Company issued $21,500 of subordinated notes payable (the "Senior Subordinated Notes").

F-22



        The Senior Debt was collateralized by substantially all the Predecessor Company's assets. Term Commitments A and B bore interest at the Predecessor Company's option of either prime (4.25% at March 31, 2003) plus a variable margin or LIBOR (1.38% at March 31, 2003) plus a variable margin and were scheduled to mature on March 1, 2006 and March 1, 2008, respectively. At March 31, 2003, the applicable interest rates on Term Commitments A and B were 4.88% and 5.38%, respectively. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Revolving Line was available until March 1, 2006, with the available borrowing amount based on eligible accounts receivable and inventories. At March 31, 2003, the Predecessor Company was eligible to borrow $6,400 on the Revolving Line, of which there was $1,500 outstanding. The Revolving Line bore interest at the Predecessor Company's option of either prime plus a variable margin or LIBOR plus a variable margin. The variable margin ranged from 1.75% to 3.5% based on the level of outstanding debt. The Predecessor Company was also required to pay a variable commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Line. At March 31, 2003, the applicable rate was 0.50%. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Senior Subordinated Notes were scheduled to mature on August 31, 2008, and originally bore interest at 15%. On September 11, 2002, the note agreement was amended to require interest at 17%. In accordance with the terms of the notes, the Predecessor Company has made quarterly interest payments at 15% and has accrued the remaining 2% interest, increasing the principal balance of the notes by $627 and $251 as of February 5, 2004 and March 31, 2003, respectively. The Predecessor Company accounted for this modification as an extinguishment and reissuance of debt in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtors Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments." Accordingly, the Predecessor Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt totaling $685 for the year ended March 31, 2003. In conjunction with the purchase of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Predecessor Company issued 1,048,798 warrants to purchase Class A-1 Common Stock. The warrants were exercisable immediately at an exercise price of $0.01 per share and expire on March 1, 2013. The Predecessor Company initially recorded a discount of $442 on the Senior Subordinated Notes. The unamortized discount was expensed during the year ended March 31, 2003. The outstanding borrowings were repaid on February 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Medtech Acquisition financing discussed above.

        The Senior Debt and Senior Subordinated Notes included various restrictive covenants that required the Predecessor Company to maintain certain financial ratios. The Predecessor Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2003.

        The Predecessor Company was subject to an excess cash calculation in connection with the Senior Debt. In the event the Predecessor Company had excess cash as defined in the credit agreement, the Predecessor Company was required to remit a payment to the lender within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year. The excess cash payment was applied pro rata to the last payments due on Term Commitments A and B. The calculation indicated that an excess cash payment of $1,211 was required for the year ended March 31, 2003; accordingly, the required excess cash payment has been included in the current portion of long-term debt at March 31, 2003.

F-23



        In connection with the acquisition of the Denorex assets (Note 2), on February 7, 2002, the Predecessor Company issued $21,000 of notes payable to American Home Products Corporation. The notes were payable in three equal installments of $7,000 on December 31, 2002, 2003 and 2004. The amounts payable were non-interest bearing, which required the Predecessor Company to determine the fair value of the notes at the date of the transaction by discounting future payments using an imputed interest rate of 9%. The resulting difference between the future payments and their present value was recorded as a discount and amortized as interest expense using the interest method over the term of the note.

        On January 29, 2003, the terms of the note were modified, requiring the Predecessor Company to pay $623 on March 31, 2003, $616 on June 30, 2003, $607 on September 30, 2003, $12,598 on December 31, 2003 and $7,000 on December 31, 2004. As a result of the modification, in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments," the Predecessor Company calculated a new effective interest rate of 8.7% based on the carrying amount of the original notes and the revised cash flows. The remaining discount was being amortized as interest expense using the interest method over the remaining term of the note. The outstanding borrowings on the facility were repaid on April 6, 2004 using proceeds from the Prestige Acquisition financing discussed above.

        Estimated future principal payments associated with long-term debt at April 6, 2004 are as follows:

Year ending
March 31,

   
2005   $ 3,550
2006     3,550

2009     3,550
Thereafter     650,762
   
    $ 668,512
   

Interest Rate Protection Agreement

        On April 2, 2002, the Predecessor Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert approximately 50% of its borrowings on variable-rate Term Commitments A and B to debt with a fixed LIBOR base rate of 5.77%. At March 31, 2003, the interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $21,000 and an estimated fair value of $(845). At February 5, 2004, the interest rate swap agreement had a notional amount of $18,094 and an estimated fair value of $197. The interest rate swap agreement was terminated on February 6, 2004, in conjunction with the Medtech Acquisition.

11.  LEASE COMMITMENTS AND OBLIGATIONS

        The Company has operating leases for office facilities in New York, Connecticut and Wyoming, which expire on September 30, 2005, June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2004, respectively. The Company has an option to extend the lease of the Connecticut offices until June 30, 2007.

        During October 2002, the Predecessor Company vacated its office space in Connecticut and entered into an operating lease for office space in New York. The Predecessor Company subleased the Connecticut office to an unrelated entity. The sublease expires June 30, 2004.

        In addition, an affiliated company under common management has agreed to reimburse the Company approximately $63 per year for the use of a portion of the Company's office space in New York. This agreement expires on September 30, 2005.

Each share of Medtech Class A-2 Common Stock converts to one share of Medtech Class A-1 Common Stock.

        Each share of Denorex Class L Common Stock is convertible into Denorex Class A Common Stock by a vote of the Board of Directors upon a sale of the Common Stock.

The Spic and Span Company

Notes to Financial Statements

(in thousands, except share data)

1. BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Business

        The Spic and Span Company (the "Company") was incorporated on November 30, 2000, and began operations on January 24, 2001. The Company is engaged in the marketing, sales and distribution of leading household cleaning brands sold primarily through supermarkets and mass merchandise outlets in the United States.

        On March 5, 2004 the Company was acquired (Note 18) by Prestige Household Brands, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Brands International, LLC (the "Acquiring Company").

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash

        Substantially all of the Company's cash is held by two banks, located in Wyoming and California, respectively. The Company does not believe that, as a result of this concentration, it is subject to any unusual financial risk beyond the normal risk associated with commercial banking relationships.

Accounts Receivable

        The Company extends non-interest bearing trade credit to its customers in the ordinary course of business. To minimize credit risk, ongoing credit evaluations of customers' financial condition are performed and reserves are maintained; however collateral is not required

Inventories

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company provides a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory.

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives:

Machinery   7 years
Computer equipment   3 years
Furniture and fixtures   5 years

        Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. When an asset is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and associated accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.

F-41



        Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value. No impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 or the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

Goodwill

        Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 142 applies to all goodwill and identified intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Under this standard, goodwill will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Accordingly, the Company ceased amortization of its goodwill January 1, 2002. The Company evaluated the remaining $1,433 of unamortized goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2002 and 2003, and determined that no impairment charge should be recorded.

        The following table reflects what the Company's net income (loss) would have been for the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001, exclusive of amortization expense related to goodwill:

 
  Period from inception
(January 24, 2001)
through
December 31, 2001

Net income   $ 1,778
Add back: goodwill amortization     45
   
Adjusted net income (loss)   $ 1,823
   

Other Long-Term Assets

        Other long-term assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed on a straight-line basis as follows:

Trademarks   30 years
Artwork cylinders   2 years
Deferred financing costs   1-3 years

        Other long-term assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognized if the carrying amount of the asset exceeds fair value. No impairment losses were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 or the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

F-42



Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is recognized upon shipment of product. Provision is made for estimated customer returns, discounts and allowances at the time of sale.

Advertising and Promotion Costs

        Advertising and promotion costs are expensed as incurred. Slotting fees associated with products are recognized as a reduction of sales. Under slotting arrangements, the retailers allow the Company's products to be placed on the stores' shelves in exchange for slotting fees. Direct reimbursements of advertising costs are reflected as a reduction of advertising costs in the period earned.

Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company accounts for employee stock-based compensation in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25") and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123." Under APB 25, compensation expense is based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant, between the fair value of the Company's common stock and the exercise price of the option. Through December 31, 2003, no stock options have been granted.

Income Taxes

        The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). Under SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Reclassifications

        Certain amounts for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001, have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The reclassifications had no effect on total assets, total liabilities, shareholders' equity or net income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others" ("FIN 45"). FIN 45 requires that a liability be recorded in the guarantor's balance sheet upon issuance of a guarantee. In addition, FIN 45 requires disclosure about guarantees that an entity has issued, including a reconciliation of changes in the entity's product warranty liabilities. The initial recognition and measurement provisions of FIN 45 are applicable on a prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The

F-43



disclosure requirements of FIN 45 are effective for financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

        In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, (FIN 46), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." In December 2003, the FASB revised FIN 46. FIN 46 requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN 46 is effective for the Company for all new variable interest entities created or acquired after December 31, 2003. For variable interest entities created or acquired prior to December 31, 2003, the provisions of FIN 46 must be applied for the first annual period beginning after December 15, 2004. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

        In May 2003 the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, "Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity." SFAS 150 establishes standards on the classification and measurement of certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. The provisions of SFAS 150 are effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003 and to all other instruments that exist as of the beginning of the first interim financial reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or financial position.

2. LIQUIDITY

        The Company incurred net losses of $(577) and $(1,471) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and as discussed in Note 8 has significant debt payments due in 2004. As discussed in Note 1, the Company was acquired on March 5, 2004. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Acquiring Company paid off the Company's long term debt (Note 8). As a result of the acquisition, there will be a significant reduction in interest and general administrative expenses. As a result, the Company expects to generate positive cash flow from operations during 2004 and future years. The Company will have no required principal payments on the debt related to the acquisition until 2009.

3. ACQUISITION

        On January 24, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets from The Procter and Gamble Company (the "Acquisition"). Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company acquired the assets in exchange for $20,000 in cash, $15,000 of notes payable and 7,647 shares of Class A common stock valued at $7. Direct acquisition costs were $1,024. The transaction was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. As a result of the Acquisition, the Company recorded intangible assets of $36,031.

  2002
 
Line of credit with bank, variable interest rate, due October 15, 2003   $   $ 1,724

      9,631     11,724  
Less: current portion     (2,150 )   (1,724 )
   
 
 
    $ 7,481   $ 10,000  
   
 
 

        Estimated future principal payments associated with long-term debt at December 31, 2003 are as follows:

Year ending December 31,

   
2004   $2,150
2005   3,000
2006   4,481
   
    $9,631
   

        On July 1, 2002, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a bank to obtain a $4,000 revolving line of credit ("Revolving Line"). The Revolving Line expired on December 31, 2003. The Company paid $175 of deferred financing costs related to the Revolving line during the year ended December 31, 2002.

        In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), on January 24, 2001, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with The Procter and Gamble Company to provide $15,000 in debt, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 9%. The Credit Agreement is collateralized by substantially all the Company's assets. The Credit Agreement allows the Company to make voluntary prepayments of the note, which originally matured on January 24, 2004.

F-47


        On December 17, 2003, the terms of the Credit Agreement were modified, to require principal payments of $650 on January 31, 2004, $1,500 on June 15, 2004, $1,500 on January 31, 2005, $1,500 on June 15, 2005, $1,500 on January 31, 2006, and $2,981 on June 15, 2006. However, if the Company pays $7,631 of the principal balance and all accrued interest prior to June 30, 2004, the Credit Agreement provides that no additional payments will be required. The Company accounted for this modification of the Credit Agreement as an extinguishment and re-issuance of debt in accordance with EITF 96-19, "Debtor's Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments." Accordingly, the Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt $23 which is included in other expense on the statement of operations. The Company also recorded $68 of deferred financing costs incurred as a result of the modification.

        Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to comply with certain restrictive covenants. As of December 31, 2003, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

        In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company issued a warrant to purchase 6,647 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share to The Procter and Gamble Company. The warrant was originally exercisable over a three-year period ending February 15, 2004. In connection with the modification of the Credit Agreement, the warrant became fully vested on December 17, 2003. The warrant expires on June 15, 2010.

        In connection with the modification of the Credit Agreement, the Company issued The Procter and Gamble Company a warrant to purchase 1,500 shares of Class L Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. If the scheduled payments under the Credit Agreement are not made, the warrant becomes exercisable on a pro-rata basis over the term of the Credit Agreement. No value was assigned to the warrant because the Company determined that the likelihood of the warrant becoming exercisable was remote.

9. SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS

        In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), on January 24, 2001, the Company issued $10,000 of subordinated notes payable to certain of the Company's shareholders. These subordinated notes payable bore interest at a fixed rate of 8% and were originally due January 24, 2004. In accordance with the terms of the subordination agreement, no payments of principal or interest could be made on these notes until the borrowings under the Credit Agreement with The Procter and Gamble Company have been paid in full. At December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, the Company had accrued $1,548 and $748 of interest on these notes.

        On December 17, 2003, the Company issued 12,503 shares of Class L-1 Common Stock in exchange for the subordinated notes payable to shareholders of $10,000 and accrued interest of $2,502, along with 12,503 shares of Class A Common Stock.

        On January 24, 2001, the Company issued a $500 short-term note payable to the Company's principal shareholder to finance working capital. This note was repaid during the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

F-48



10. SALE OF TRADEMARK

        Effective November 18, 2003 the Company sold the rights to its Italian trademark for $2,900. At the date of the Acquisition, there were no revenues being generated outside the United States and no value was assigned to any foreign trademarks. As a result, the Company recorded a gain on sale of trademark of $2,900.

        During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company recorded $213 of royalties related to the use of the Italian trademark, which are included in other income in the statement of operations.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

        The Company shares office space in New York with an affiliated company and has agreed to reimburse the affiliated company for a portion of the lease costs. The operating lease expires on September 30, 2005. The Company's minimum future payments under this lease are as follows:

Year ending December 31,

   
2004   $ 63
2005     47
   
    $ 110
   

        Rent expense totaled $64 and $72 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 and $63 for the period from inception (January 24, 2001) through December 31, 2001.

        On July 29, 2002, the Company entered into a 10 year manufacturing and supply agreement with an unrelated company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to purchase certain minimum quantities of product over the initial three years of the agreement or to pay liquidated damages of up to $360. The Company has recorded a liability of $308 at December 31, 2003 which represents its estimate of the probable liquidated damages. Such estimate is based on historical and expected purchases during the initial three years of the agreement.

        On June 24, 2002, the Company entered into a seven year manufacturing and supply agreement with an unrelated company. Pursuant to this agreement, the Company agreed to reimburse the manufacturer for certain equipment if the Company terminates the agreement due to a change in control of the Company prior to June 24, 2007. At December 31, 2003, the Company had a contingent liability of $274 related to this agreement.

        In connection with the Acquisition (Note 3), the Company entered into a transitional services agreement and a transitional supply agreement with The Procter and Gamble Company. Under the terms of these agreements, The Procter and Gamble Company agreed to perform certain services for the Company, including manufacturing, distribution and administrative services in exchange for a variable fee based on product shipments. All costs related to these agreements have been included in cost of sales. These agreements expired on September 30, 2002.

13. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Reverse Stock Split

        On December 17, 2003, the Company's articles of incorporation were amended to create a new class of stock (Class L-1 Common Stock) and to affect a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. As a result, the Company has authorized 20,000 Class L-1 Common Shares, 23,000 Class L Common Shares and 275,000 Class A Common Shares (together the "Common Stock"). Prior to the reverse stock split, the Company had authorized 2,500,000 Class L Common Shares and 27,500,000 Class A Common Shares. All share data reflected in these financial statements is shown after giving retroactive effect to the 1-for-100 reverse stock split.

Voting

        The holders of the Class L-1, Class L and Class A Common Stock are entitled to vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to shareholders for a vote. Each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each holder of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which each share of Class L-1 or Class L Common Stock is convertible at the time of such vote.

Dividends and Liquidation Preference

        The Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock has a liquidation and distribution preference of $1,000 per share plus amounts sufficient to generate an internal rate of return of 8% per year (aggregate Class L-1 liquidation value of $12,544 at December 31, 2003; aggregate Class L liquidation value of $13,882 at December 31, 2003). The holders of Class L-1 Common Stock are entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference has been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Class L or Class A Common Stock. The holders of Class L Common Stock are entitled to receive all dividends or other distributions declared by the Board of Directors until the liquidation preference has been satisfied, prior to any dividends or distributions to shareholders of the Class A Common Stock.

F-51



        Subsequently, the remaining distributions will be divided among the shareholders of the Class L-1, Class L and Class A Common Stock pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that for distribution purposes, each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into a number of shares equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is convertible at the time of such distribution.

Conversion

        Each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock is convertible to Class A Common Stock by a vote of the Board of Directors upon a sale of the Common Stock. In addition, the outstanding shares of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock automatically convert to Class A Common Stock immediately prior to an underwritten public offering.

        Each share of Class L-1 and Class L Common Stock converts to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock determined by dividing the remaining unpaid liquidation and distribution preference per share by the sale price (or public offering price) per Class A Common Share.

14. EMPLOYEE STOCK AWARDS

        During the year ended December 31, 2001, the Company sold its employees 20,760 shares of restricted Class A Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.00 per share. These shares vest ratably over a 4-year period. The Company's estimated fair value of the stock on the grant date was $1.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company did not record compensation expense for these stock awards.

        During 2001, the Company also entered into an agreement with an affiliated company under common management, in which the affiliate agreed to provide certain technology and support services to the Company in exchange for $57 per month. This agreement was amended in April 2002 to reduce this fee to $33 per month.

As a result, the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $2,000 and the warrants to purchase 6,647 shares of Class A Common Stock and 1,500 shares of Class L Common Stock were cancelled. In addition, the Company retired 7,647 shares of its Class A Common Stock held by the Procter and Gamble Company.

Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

December 31, 2003

1. ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS

        Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Company) market and manufacture branded over-the-counter consumer products. The Company's products are sold through mass merchandisers, independent and chain drug stores, drug wholesalers and food stores in the United States and in various markets throughout the world. The Company acquired all of the assets related to the Prell, Chloraseptic and Comet brands from The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) effective November 1, 1999, March 30, 2000 and October 2, 2001, respectively. Additionally, the Company acquired all of the assets related to the Clear eyes/Murine brands from Abbott Laboratories (Abbott) on December 30, 2002 (see Note 3). The results of operations of the acquired products have been included in the accompanying consolidated statements of income from the dates of acquisition.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company recognizes revenue from product sales upon shipment to the customer. The Company has recorded revenue generated under the Comet and the Clear eyes/Murine domestic transitional services agreements (see Note 3) on a gross basis, as the Company was the primary obligor under these agreements. In addition, sales of Chloraseptic to certain customers still serviced by P&G are recorded on a gross basis, as the Company is the primary obligor.

        Revenue has been recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes/Murine brands under the marketing transition period and prior to satisfaction of regulatory requirements (see Note 3) for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, as the Company was not the primary obligor under this arrangement.

        It is the Company's policy across all classes of customers that all sales are final. As is common in the consumer products industry, products are returned by the customer due to a number of reasons. Examples include products damaged in transit, discontinuance of a particular size or form of product, shipping error, etc. The Company maintains and evaluates an allowance for damages since all other types of returns are not significant. Actual returns are charged against the allowance upon the receipt of the product or deduction from remittance by the customer.

F-60



Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all short-term deposits and investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable are recorded at the amount the Company expects to collect on customer trade receivables. The Company establishes a general allowance of approximately 1% of gross trade receivables in conjunction with a specific allowance for receivables with known collection problems due to circumstances such as liquidity or bankruptcy. Collection problems are identified using an aging of receivables analysis based on invoice due dates. Items that are deemed uncollectible are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company does not charge interest on past due receivables.

Inventories

        Inventories, comprised of finished goods, are priced at the lower of cost (purchased cost for finished goods purchased from outsourced manufacturers) or market. The Company's method for determining inventory cost approximates the first-in, first-out method. In addition, the Company recognizes shipping and handling expenses as a component of cost of sales.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of depreciable assets. Leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the lesser of the life of the lease or the estimated useful life of the asset.

        Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for renewals and betterments, which extend the useful lives of existing equipment, are capitalized and depreciated. Upon retirement or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statement of income.

Trademarks and Other Purchased Product Rights

        The cost of a Chloraseptic noncompete agreement was capitalized and amortized over its useful life, estimated at 3 years. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142). Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, trademarks were amortized over 20 years. All intangible assets subject to amortization have been fully amortized as of December 31, 2003.

        The provisions of SFAS No. 142, which were adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002, required the Company to discontinue the amortization of the cost of intangible assets with indefinite lives and to perform certain fair value-based tests of the carrying value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. Accordingly, the Company discontinued the amortization of the cost of these intangible assets.

F-61



The discontinuation of this amortization favorably affected net income in fiscal 2002 by $6,687,155, net of income tax benefit. In addition, goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are now tested for impairment on an annual basis. The Company obtained independent appraisals to determine the fair value of the intangible assets at December 31, 2002 and compared their fair values with the carrying values, noting that no impairment had occurred.

        Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company evaluated whether events and circumstances had occurred that indicated the remaining useful life of intangible assets might warrant revision or that the remaining balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicated that intangible assets should have been evaluated for possible impairment, the Company used an estimate of the future undiscounted net cash flows of the related assets over the remaining lives of the assets in measuring whether long-lived assets were recoverable. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS No. 142, the Company performed annual impairment tests and determined no reevaluation was warranted using fair values as determined by product brand contribution margin.

        The changes in the carrying amount of the Clear eyes/Murine Brand's trademark are as follows for 2003 and 2002:

 
  2003
  2002
Balance as of January 1   $ 102,795,660   $
Additional Clear eyes/Murine Brands closing costs     295,367     102,795,660
Clear eyes/Murine international closings     (743,956 )  
   
 
Balance as of December 31   $ 102,347,071   $ 102,795,660
   
 

        While the full purchase price for the Clear eyes/Murine worldwide business was paid at the December 30, 2002 closing, transfer of the international assets could not occur until the appropriate infrastructure and regulatory filings were completed. Inventory purchased in connection with these international closings required adjustment to the original purchase price allocation based on the inventory net realizable value less costs of disposal and a reasonable profit thereon. Since there was no additional purchase price to allocate to the inventory, an allocation reducing trademarks resulted for the international closings occurring in 2003. The adjustment to the trademark was $743,956.

Debt Issuance Costs

        The Company has incurred debt issuance costs in connection with its long-term debt. These costs are capitalized and amortized using a method that approximates the effective interest method over the term of the related debt. The yearly amortization of debt issuance cost is recorded as interest expense in the consolidated statements of income. Amortization expense related to debt issuance costs was $2,039,300, $1,003,209 and $1,504,738 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and accumulated amortization was $3,433,598 and $1,394,297 as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

F-62



        Estimated future amortization expense for debt issuance costs is as follows:

Year ending December 31:

  Amount
2004   $ 2,072,097
2005     1,949,136
2006     1,665,258
2007     1,167,386
2008     1,019,479
Thereafter     11,234
   
    $ 7,884,590
   

Advertising Expenses

        The cost of advertising is expensed in the fiscal year in which the related advertising takes place. Production and communication costs are expensed in the period in which the related advertising begins running. Advertising expense for 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $11,216,236, $4,732,800 and $4,610,613, respectively.

Foreign Currency Translation

        The assets and liabilities of the Company's international subsidiaries are translated at rates of exchange in effect on the reporting date. Income and expense items are translated at average exchange rates in effect for the year. The resulting translation adjustment was not material to the Company's consolidated balance sheets or income statements.

Stock Option Plan

        At December 31, 2003, the company has one stock-based employee compensation plan, which is described more fully in Note 11. The Company accounts for this plan under the intrinsic value method, as defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based

F-63



Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), to stock-based employee compensation for the year ended December 31:

 
  2003
  2002
  2001
 
Net income, as reported   $ 22,272,391   $ 16,569,753   $ 3,082,765  
Less total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects     (312,838 )   (351,779 )   (314,482 )
   
 
 
 
Pro forma net income   $ 21,959,553   $ 16,217,974   $ 2,768,283  
   
 
 
 

Derivative Financial Instruments

        SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133), requires companies to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, a company must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in an international operation.

        The Company has designated its derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges (i.e., hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk). For these hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gains or losses on the derivative instruments is recorded in results of operations immediately.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments

        The carrying values of the Company's cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value due to the variable rates associated with this financial instrument. For the interest rate swap and collar agreements, the carrying amount was determined using fair value estimates from third parties.

Concentrations Of Credit Risk

        Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. The Company's exposure to credit risk associated with nonpayment of accounts receivable is affected by conditions or occurrences within the retail industry. As a result, the Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial position but generally requires no collateral from its customers. The Company's largest customer accounted for 25.2%, 19.4%, and 20.2% of sales in 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

F-64



No other customer exceeded 10% of the Company's sales in the respective years. Short-term cash investments are placed with high credit-quality financial institutions or in low-risk, liquid instruments. No losses have been experienced on such investments.

Income Taxes

        The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets and liabilities measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

Impact of Recently Issued Pronouncements

        In July 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) finalized EITF Issue No. 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration Paid to a Reseller of the Vendor's Products (EITF 00-25). Under the provisions of EITF 00-25, the Company is required to classify certain marketing and selling expenses as reductions of net sales. The results of operations and the financial position of the Company, therefore, are not affected. The Company adopted the provisions of EITF 00-25 during the year ended December 31, 2001. EITF Issue Nos. 00-14, Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives (EITF 00-14) and EITF 00-25 have been codified in EITF Issue No. 01-09, Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.

        On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to provide alternative methods of transition to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123 to require disclosure in the summary of significant accounting policies of the effects of an entity's accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation on reported net income and earnings per share in annual and interim financial statements. SFAS No. 148 does not amend SFAS No. 123 to require companies to account for their employee stock-based awards using the fair value method. However, the disclosure provisions are required for all companies with stock-based employee compensation, regardless of whether they utilize the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS No. 123 or the intrinsic value method described in APB 25. The Company adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 during the year ended December 31, 2002.

        In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections (SFAS No. 145). The Company adopted SFAS No. 145 on December 31, 2002. SFAS No. 145 requires the Company to include gains and losses on extinguishment of debt as income or loss from continuing operations rather than as extraordinary items as previously required under SFAS No. 4, Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt. The Company is also required to reclassify any gain or loss on extinguishment of debt previously classified as an extraordinary item in prior periods presented. SFAS No. 145 also provides accounting standards for certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions and various other technical corrections.

F-65


        In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149, Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 149). SFAS No. 149 amends and clarifies accounting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 149 is generally effective for derivative instruments embedded in certain contracts, entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 149 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

        In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150, Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity (SFAS No. 150). The statement modifies the accounting for certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. The new statement requires that those instruments be classified as liabilities in a company's statement of financial position. This statement is effective for the year-end period beginning after December 31, 2003. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows other than classification of warrants in the accompanying balance sheet.

3. ACQUISITION OF BRANDS

Clear eyes/Murine brands

        On December 30, 2002, the Company completed the acquisition of the Clear eyes/Murine eye and ear-care product lines from Abbott for approximately $110,700,000, including acquisition costs of approximately $1,097,000. As a result, the accompanying consolidated statements of income includes the results of operations of the Clear eyes/Murine brands since the date of acquisition. This acquisition included the worldwide rights to manufacture, sell and market the Clear eyes/Murine products plus related intellectual property and certain manufacturing equipment. The purchase price of $110,700,000 was allocated $3,816,000 to inventory, $4,088,000 to property and equipment and $102,796,000 to the Clear eyes/Murine Brands trademark, which was assigned an indefinite life. This was a preliminary allocation which is adjusted as additional international country regulatory requirements are met (See Note 2) and international assets are transferred.

        Under a domestic transitional services agreement, Abbott continued to receive and process customer orders, ship products to customers, and collect and process accounts receivable through March 31, 2003. Revenue has been recorded on a gross basis under the domestic transitional services agreement for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Abbott continued to manufacture the product for the Company under a manufacturing agreement that extends through December 31, 2005.

        The Company will also continue to rely on Abbott to market, sell and distribute the Clear eyes/ Murine products in the remaining international countries until the Company satisfies various international regulatory requirements, new distributors are in place and any applicable marketing permits are transferred. During the marketing transition period, Abbott paid the Company a net royalty equal to 38% of international sales of Clear eyes/Murine products in these countries through December 31, 2003, with the net royalty to be reduced to 19% of international sales from January 1, 2004 through December 30, 2004. Revenue has been recorded on a net basis for international sales of the Clear eyes/Murine brands during the marketing transition period for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002. Abbott will pay all costs and expenses related to the manufacture, marketing and sales of the Clear eyes/Murine products in these countries. As the regulatory requirements are met and the

F-66



Company assumes responsibility for the sales and marketing effort in a country, the royalty arrangement with respect to such country will terminate and the Company will record these international sales directly on a gross basis, as well as the costs and expenses associated with these sales. During the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company satisfied regulatory requirements in seven additional countries.

Comet Brand

        Effective October 2, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of the Comet brand from P&G for approximately $144,800,000, including acquisition costs of $2,800,000. This acquisition included the worldwide rights (except in certain Eastern European countries and Russia) to manufacture, sell and market Comet products plus related intellectual property. The entire purchase price was allocated to trademark, which was assigned an indefinite useful life. Under a transitional services agreement, P&G continued to receive and process customer orders, ship products to customers, and collect and process accounts receivable through April 30, 2002. Revenue has been recorded on a gross basis under the transitional services agreement for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. Since April 30, 2002, P&G has continued to manufacture Comet products under a standard contract manufacturing agreement.

8. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

        Effective July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $16,500,000 of the balance under the Tranche A note payable. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.8% in exchange for variable rate payments based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreement expires on July 31, 2004. During the year ended December 31, 2001, the swap was ineffective and $330,402 was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company redesignated the interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Therefore, the change in fair value of this hedge is no longer recorded through earnings but through other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders equity.

        Effective March 29, 2002, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar agreement with a bank covering $41,237,500 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreement requires the Company to pay a variable rate based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR with a floor of 2.83% and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate collar agreement expires on July 31, 2004.

        Effective March 14, 2003, the Company entered into two zero-cost collar agreements with two different banks covering $44,230,000 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreements require the Company to pay a variable rate based on the US three month LIBOR with a floor of 1.33% on $17,692,000 and 1.35% on $26,538,000 and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate collar agreements expire on March 31, 2006.

        The fair value of all these hedges is $590,654 and $1,238,360 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Because the hedges qualify as effective for financial reporting purposes, the change in fair value of the hedges of $393,472 and $547,085, net of income taxes of $254,224, and $360,873 at December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, is recorded as a reduction of other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

9. WARRANTS

        In connection with the issuance of the senior subordinated notes payable on December 30, 2002, the Company issued warrants to the holders of the subordinated notes for 1,489,999 shares of the Company's Class A common stock. The warrants have an exercise price of $0.01 and expire on December 30, 2012. On December 30, 2002, the amount allocated to the warrants of $2,684,569 was recorded as a discount to the senior subordinated notes payable and a credit to common stock warrants. On February 25, 2003, in connection with a partial repayment of the senior subordinated notes, the number of warrants was reduced to 1,307,261, resulting in the value of the warrants being reduced to $2,355,330. These warrants contain certain "put" rights that allow the holder to require the Company to purchase all or any portion of the warrants or shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants at a price equal to the higher of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expense per share or the fair market value per share of common stock on such date less the cost to exercise the warrants. The "put" repurchase period commences June 30, 2009 and terminates on December 30, 2012. The "put" repurchase period may be accelerated upon the occurrence, not prior to December 30, 2003, of giving notice by the Company of an optional prepayment of the senior subordinated notes payable. In accordance with the debt agreement, all

F-70



prepayments must be done on a pro-rata basis to all note holders. The Company has certain "call" rights during the period from December 30, 2009 to December 30, 2012 to repurchase all of the warrants or shares of Class A common stock issued upon exercise of the warrants from the holders of such warrants for the repurchase price defined above. The Company accretes the value of the warrants up to the highest "put" repurchase price through June 30, 2009.

        In connection with the issuance of bridge loans on October 2, 2001, the Company issued warrants to the loanholders for 900,000 shares of the Company's Class A or Class B common stock. The warrants were assigned a value of $1,662,000 as of the date of issuance, which was recorded as an increase in common stock in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. The Bridge Loan contained provisions to issue additional warrants if certain repayment dates were not met. Under these provisions, the Company issued additional warrants to purchase 328,000 shares of Class A or Class B common stock. The warrants were assigned a value of $418,000 as of the date of issuance, which was recorded as interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2001. The warrants had an exercise price of $0.01 and were to expire on October 2, 2008. The total value assigned to the warrants was $2,080,000, of which $1,662,000 was charged to debt discount and $418,000 was charged to interest expense. The Bridge Loan was repaid on December 17, 2001, and accordingly, the difference between the net carrying amount of the debt (including the unamortized debt discount), and the cost of extinguishment was recorded as a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1,604,300 in the accompanying consolidated income statement for the year ended December 31, 2001. The warrants remain outstanding after extinguishment of the debt.

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

        During November and December 2001, the Company repurchased 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock from a stockholder that were issued in connection with the Comet acquisition. These shares were repurchased at the original issuance price of $1.40 per share for a total purchase price of $14,000,000. The Company subsequently resold 8,937,500 of shares to new stockholders for total proceeds of $14,000,000.

Total provision   $ 13,823,494   $ 11,106,800   $ 1,874,126
   
 
 

        The income tax provision differs from the amount of tax determined by applying the Federal statutory rate as follows:

 
  2003

  2001
Income tax provision at statutory rate:   $ 12,644,965   $ 9,686,794   $ 1,685,343

    $ 13,823,494   $ 11,106,800   $ 1,874,126
   
 
 

        Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax

F-72



purposes. Significant components of the Company's net deferred tax liability on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2003 and 2002 are:

12. STOCK OPTION PLAN

        Effective December 3, 1999, the Company adopted the Stock Option Plan (the Plan), under which 5 million shares of Class A common stock are authorized and reserved for use in the Plan. The Plan allows the issuance of nonqualified or incentive stock options at an exercise price determined by the Company's Board of Directors. Options covering one-half of the authorized number of shares are subject to Pool A Agreements, and options covering the remaining half are subject to Pool B Agreements. Options granted under Pool A Agreements become exercisable over three years and expire ten years from the date of grant. Options granted under Pool B Agreements become exercisable on the eighth anniversary of the date of grant and expire ten years from the date of grant. Accelerated vesting may occur under Pool B Agreements due to a change in control and based on attainment of certain return on investment levels during the year in which the change of control takes place.

        The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation plan under APB 25, under which no compensation expense has been recognized. In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No.123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, which allows companies to continue following the accounting guidance of APB 25, but requires disclosure of net income and earnings per share for the effects on compensation expense had the accounting guidance of SFAS No. 123 been adopted.

        The Company has elected SFAS No. 123 for disclosure purposes. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of each option granted has been estimated as of the grant date using the Minimum Value method, with the following weighted-average assumptions for grants during the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001: weighted average risk-free interest rates of 2.01%, 4.80%, and 5.24%; expected life of eight years; and no expected dividends.

13. EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

        Effective April 1, 2003, the Company established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP Plan) providing for the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock. All employees are eligible to participate in the ESPP Plan and can elect to purchase shares of common stock at fair market value. All shares must be purchased with cash and each participant must sign a

F-74



subscription agreement. The provisions of the ESPP Plan includes transfer restrictions, bring-along rights and repurchase rights. Approximately 166,000 shares were purchased in 2003 under the ESPP Plan.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation

        The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, the eventual resolution of these claims and actions outstanding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

Leasing Activities

        The Company leases real estate under operating leases. Certain real estate leases require the Company to pay maintenance, insurance, taxes and certain other expenses in addition to the stated rentals. Future minimum lease payments for noncancelable operating leases in effect at December 31, 2003, are as follows:

Year ending December 31:

  Amount
2004   $ 259,624
2005     219,850
2006     150,245
2007     37,561
   
    $ 667,280
   

        The base rent of the Company's office facility in Bonita Springs, Florida, will be increased by the consumer price index each year during its seven-year lease term expiring March 31, 2007.

        Total rent expense under all operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was approximately $296,108, $167,316 and $167,632 respectively.

Purchase Option

        On December 22, 2002, the Company entered into a purchase option agreement with an investor of the Company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company had the option to repurchase 6,437,500 shares of Class A common stock of the Company owned by that investor. The purchase price as defined in the agreement was based on a 20% internal rate of return on the investor's original purchase of the shares for $10,500,000. In consideration of the purchase option agreement, the Company paid the investor a deposit of $1,750,000 on December 23, 2002. This amount was classified within prepaid expenses on the December 31, 2002 accompanying consolidated balance sheet. On February 13, 2003, the Company repurchased these shares at a total purchase price of $13,270,000.

15. RETIREMENT PLAN

        The Company has a retirement plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the Retirement Plan). The Retirement Plan allows all full-time employees to defer a portion of their

F-75



compensation on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the Retirement Plan. The Company matches these contributions up to 5% of the employee's compensation. The Company's matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001 was $119,465, $105,281 and $29,528, respectively.

16. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        As of December 31, 2003, the Company had a receivable of $1,000,000 plus accrued interest of $186,333 due from a certain stockholder related to the stockholder's purchase of the Company's Class A common stock. Approximately $230,000 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.08% and is payable in full on November 1, 2004, or upon the termination of employment with the Company. The remaining $770,000 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.45% and is due and payable on March 30, 2004, or upon termination of employment with the Company. The amount was treated as a reduction of stockholders' equity in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders' equity.

        As part of the Company's Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement, certain investors are entitled to an annual management fee for advisory services rendered. Management fees totaled $640,000, $475,000, and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. As of December 31, 2003 and 2002 management fees payable of $0 and $100,000, respectively, are included in accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

17. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On January 1, 2004, the Company entered into Employment and Non-Competition Agreements with the President and CFO for a period of one year. The agreements provide for certain compensation and benefits as well as severance payments in the event of termination.

        The company entered into an Agreement of Merger dated February 10, 2004 pursuant to which the holders of capital stock of the Company (including option and warrant holders) will receive cash consideration in an amount equal to $555 million (as adjusted based on the working capital of the Company at the closing of the merger), less all of the Company's outstanding indebtedness at the closing and all transaction expenses (including investment banking, legal and accounting fees) incurred in connection with the merger, plus excess cash and proceeds from the exercise of employee stock options. As a result of the transaction, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prestige Acquisition Holdings, LLC. The closing of the merger is expected to occur in late March or early April of 2004.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(In Thousands)

1.    Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

        The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however, the information reflects all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in the registration statement. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

        Certain amounts for 2003 have been reclassified to be consistent with the 2004 presentation.

        Based upon the Company's review of new accounting standards released during the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company did not identify any standard requiring adoption that would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements for the periods reported.

Stock Option Plan

        At March 31, 2004, the Company has one stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company accounts for this plan under the intrinsic value method, as defined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and related Interpretations. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure (SFAS No. 148), to stock-based employee compensation for the three months ended March 31:

2.    Revolving Line of Credit

        The Company had a $15,000, revolving line of credit with a bank collateralized by virtually all of the assets of the Company. On December 30, 2002, the line of credit was amended and restated to extend the maturity date to December 30, 2007. Advances under the line of credit bore interest payable monthly at LIBOR plus an applicable rate. As of March 31, 2004, there were no outstanding balances under the line of credit. The revolving line of credit was terminated on April 6, 2004, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company (Note 8).

F-82



3.    Long-Term Debt

        Long-term debt is as follows at March 31, 2004:

Tranche A term note payable to a bank group, payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest through December 30, 2007. Interest is payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin through December 30, 2007. At March 31, 2004 the rate was approximately 6.5%. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets   81,916  
Tranche B term note payable to a bank group, payable in quarterly installments of principal and interest through December 30, 2008. Interest is payable at LIBOR plus an applicable margin through December 30, 2008. At March 31, 2004, the rate was approximately 7.0%. The note is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets.   67,318  
Senior subordinated notes payable with a fixed interest rate of 15% (of which 2% is Paid in Kind interest accrued in the notes payable balance). Interest is payable quarterly, with principle and any remaining interest due in full on December 31, 2009. The notes are recorded at the face amount of $24,895 less unamortized discount in the amount of $1,239, as of March 31, 2004.   23,656  
   
 
    172,890  
Less current portion   (25,260 )
   
 
    147,630  
   
 

        The outstanding borrowings under Tranche A, Tranche B and the senior subordinated notes payable were repaid on April 6, 2004 in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company (Note 8).

4.    Derivative Financial Instruments

        Effective July 27, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a bank covering $16,500 of the balance under Tranche A note payable. The interest rate swap agreement requires the Company to pay a fixed rate of 4.8% in exchange for variable rate payments based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreement expires on July 31, 2004.

        Effective March 29, 2002, the Company entered into a zero-cost collar agreement with a bank covering $41,240 of the combined balance under Tranche A and B notes payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreement required the Company to pay a variable rate based on the U.S. three-month LIBOR with a floor of 2.83% and a cap of 6.00%. The liability for the interest rate collar agreement was paid in March 2004.

        Effective March 14, 2003, the Company entered into two zero-cost collar agreement with two different banks covering $44,230 of the combined balance under the Tranche A and B note payable agreements, in order to minimize its exposure to fluctuations caused by volatility in interest rates. The interest rate collar agreements required the Company to pay a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR with a floor of 1.33% on $17,700 and 1.35% on $26,540 and a cap of 6.00%. The interest rate

F-83



collar agreement expires on March 31, 2006. The liability for the interest rate collar agreement covering $26,540 of the debt balance was paid in March 2004.

        The fair value of the open hedges was $133 at March 31, 2004 and is included in other long-term liabilities on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheet. Because the hedges qualify as cash flow hedges, the change in fair value of the hedges is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income. In connection with the acquisition of the Company on April 6, 2004 (Note 8), the liability for the remaining derivative instrument was paid.

5.    Related-Party Transactions

        As of March 31, 2004, the Company had a receivable of $1,000 plus accrued interest of $202 due from a certain stockholder related to the stockholder's purchase of the Company's Class A common stock. Approximately $230 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.08% and is payable in full on November 1, 2004, or upon the termination of employment with the Company. The remaining $770 of the receivable balance accrues interest at 6.45% and is due and payable on March 30, 2004, or upon termination of employment with the Company. The amount was treated as a reduction of stockholders' equity. On April 6, 2004, in conjunction with the acquisition of the Company, the receivable balance was paid in full.

        As part of the Company's Amended and Restated Shareholders' Agreement, certain investors are entitled to an annual management fee for advisor services rendered. Management fees totaled $173 and $160 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. As of March 31, 2004 and 2003 management fees payable of $173 and $53, respectively, are included in accrued expenses on the accompanying unaudited consolidated balance sheets.

6.    Commitments and Contingencies

        The Company is involved in various legal actions arising in the normal course of business. While it is not possible to determine with certainty the outcome of these matters, in the opinion of management, the eventual resolution of these claims and actions outstanding will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or operating results.

PROSPECTUS


                        , 2004





PART II: INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

Item 20: Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

        Delaware General Corporation Law

        Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person's conduct was unlawful.

        Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

        Section 145(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that to the extent that a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 145(a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

        Section 145(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that any indemnification under Section 145(a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and (b). Such determination shall be made (1) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

        Section 145(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an officer or director in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not

II-1



entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

        Section 145(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's capacity as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.

        Delaware Registrants' Certificates of Incorporation

        The certificates of incorporation of the Delaware registrants include a provision that eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for liability for breach of duty of loyalty; for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (unlawful dividends and stock repurchases); or for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit.

        The certificates of incorporation of the Delaware registrants provide that these registrants must indemnify their directors and officers to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise.

        The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our certificate of incorporation, our by laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

        The registrants maintain insurance to protect themselves and their respective directors and officers against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not it would have the power to indemnify them against such expense, liability or loss under applicable law.

        The other registrants are organized in Virginia and California. Indemnification of such registrants' directors and officers provided by applicable law, by the registrants organizational documents, by contract or otherwise are substantially similar to that afforded by the directors and officers of the Delaware registrants.

ITEM 21. EXHIBITS AND FINANCIAL STATEMENT SCHEDULES.

    (a)
    The attached Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.

    (b)
    No financial statement schedules are required to be filed herewith pursuant to this Item.

II-2


ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.

    (a)
    The undersigned hereby undertake:

    (1)
    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

    (i)
    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

    (ii)
    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement;

    (iii)
    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

    provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(l)(i) and (a)(l)(ii) do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form S-8, and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.

      (2)
      That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

      (3)
      To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

    (b)
    The undersigned hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

    (c)
    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrants have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of its

II-3


      counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

    (d)
    The undersigned hereby undertake to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

    (e)
    The undersigned hereby undertake to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

Banc of America Securities LLC Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated As Representatives of the Initial Purchasers c/o Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 388 Greenwich Street New York, New York 10013 Ladies and Gentlemen: Prestige Brands, Inc. (formerly known as Medtech Acquisition, Inc.), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the "COMPANY"), proposes to issue and sell to the several parties named in Schedule I hereto (the "INITIAL PURCHASERS"), for whom you (the "REPRESENTATIVES") are acting as representatives, $210,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9-1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 (the "NOTES," and together with the Guarantees (as defined below), the "SECURITIES"). The Securities are to be issued under an indenture (the "INDENTURE"), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"). The Securities will have the benefit of a registration rights agreement (the "REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"), to be dated as of the Closing Date, among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree to register a new series of notes (the "EXCHANGE NOTES") and related guarantees (the "EXCHANGE GUARANTEES," and, together with the Exchange Notes, the "EXCHANGE SECURITIES") under the Act subject to the terms and conditions therein specified. The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (the "GUARANTEES") by Prestige Products Holdings, Inc. (formerly known as Medtech Acquisition Holdings, Inc.), the Company's direct parent company ("HOLDINGS"), Prestige Brands International, LLC (formerly known as New Intermediate LLC), Holdings' direct parent company ("PARENT"), by each of the entities set forth on Schedule II-A hereto (the "PRESTIGE GUARANTORS") and each of the entities set forth on Schedule II-B hereto (the "MEDTECH GUARANTORS," and together with the Parent, Holdings and the Prestige Guarantors, the "GUARANTORS"). To the extent there are no additional parties listed on Schedule I other than you, the term Representatives as used herein shall mean you as the Initial Purchasers, and the terms Representatives and Initial Purchasers shall mean either the singular or plural as the context requires. The use of the neuter in this Agreement shall include the feminine and masculine wherever appropriate. Certain terms used herein are defined in Section 18 hereof. Prestige Acquisition Holdings, LLC ("ACQUISITION COMPANY"), a Delaware limited liability company formed by the Company's equity sponsor, GTCR Golder Rauner ("GTCR"), Prestige MergerSub, Inc., Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc., a Virginia corporation ("BONITA BAY"), and the Shareholders' Representative signatory thereto, have entered into an agreement (the "ACQUISITION AGREEMENT"), dated as of February 10, 2004, pursuant to which Acquisition Company will acquire 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Prestige Brands International, Inc. (the "ACQUISITION"). In connection with the Acquisition and the offering of the Securities, the Company and the Guarantors will enter into new senior secured credit facilities in the amount of up to $515.0 million pursuant to a credit agreement among the Company, the Guarantors, Citicorp North America, Inc., as administrative agent and collateral agent, Bank of America, N.A., as syndication agent, and Merrill Lynch Capital, a division of Merrill Lynch Business Services, Inc., as documentation agent (the "SENIOR CREDIT FACILITIES"). As described in the Final Memorandum (as defined below), the net proceeds from the offering of the Securities and borrowings under the Senior Credit Facilities will be used to fund the Acquisition, to repay outstanding indebtedness and to pay transaction fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The time of the consummation of the Acquisition shall be on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 3). The closing of the Acquisition and the entering into of the Senior Credit Facilities are each a condition to the closing of this offering. All references herein to the Company and the Guarantors and the other subsidiaries of the Parent and the Company include such entities as they will be constituted immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein of the Prestige Guarantors shall not be effective prior to the Closing Date and the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the Prestige Guarantors shall execute and deliver this Agreement on (but not before) the Closing Date. The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of the Securities under the Act in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Act. In connection with the sale of the Securities, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated March 19, 2004 (as amended or supplemented at the date thereof, the "PRELIMINARY MEMORANDUM"), and a final offering memorandum, dated March 30, 2004 (as amended or supplemented at the Execution Time, the "FINAL MEMORANDUM"). Each of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the Company and the Securities. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum, and any amendment or supplement thereto, in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. 1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, represent and warrant to each Initial Purchaser as set forth below in this Section 1. 2 (a) The Preliminary Memorandum, at the date thereof, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b) None of the Company, the Guarantors, any of its or their Affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made offers or sales of any security, or solicited offers to buy, any security under circumstances that would require the registration of the Securities under the Act. (c) None of the Company, the Guarantors, any of its or their Affiliates, or any person acting on its or their behalf has: (i) engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Securities or (ii) engaged in any directed selling efforts (within the meaning of Regulation S) with respect to the Securities; and each of the Company, its Affiliates and each person acting on its or their behalf has complied with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. (d) The Securities satisfy the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the Act. (e) No registration under the Act of the Securities is required for the offer and sale of the Securities to or by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated herein and in the Final Memorandum. (f) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors is, and after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Securities and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Final Memorandum will be, an "investment company" as defined in the Investment Company Act, without taking account of any exemption arising out of the number of holders of the Company's securities. (g) Neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors has paid or agreed to pay to any person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any securities of the Company (except as contemplated in this Agreement). (h) Neither the Company nor any Guarantor has taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that has constituted or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities. 3 (i) Each of the Company, the Guarantors and each of their subsidiaries (1) has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation, limited liability company or partnership in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is chartered or organized with full corporate, limited liability company or partnership power and authority to own or lease, as the case may be, and to operate its properties and conduct its business as described in the Final Memorandum, and (2) is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or partnership and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction that requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified (i) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the performance of this Agreement, the Indenture or the Registration Rights Agreement, or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business (a "MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT"). (j) Schedule III-A hereto sets forth all of the Company's direct and indirect parent companies and each of the Parent's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries as of the date hereof. Schedule III-B hereto sets forth all of the Company's direct and indirect parent companies and each of the Parent's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries as of the Closing Date. (k) The authorized equity capitalization of Prestige International Holdings, LLC, the direct parent company of the Parent, after the effectiveness of the Acquisition is as set forth in the Final Memorandum. (l) All the outstanding shares of capital stock or limited liability company interests of each of the Company, the Guarantors and each of their respective subsidiaries have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable, and, except as otherwise set forth in the Final Memorandum, all outstanding shares of capital stock or limited liability company interests of the subsidiaries are owned by the Parent either directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries free and clear of any security interest, claim, lien or encumbrance. (m) The statements in the Final Memorandum under the headings "Risk Factors--Regulatory matters governing our industry could have a significant negative effect on our business," "Business--Regulatory", "Business--Intellectual Property", "Business--Legal Proceedings," "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions," "Description of Notes," "Exchange Offer; Registration Rights" and "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences" fairly summarize in all material respects the matters therein described. (n) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, the Parent, Holdings and each of the Medtech Guarantors. On the Closing Date, this Agreement will have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of the Prestige Guarantors.

(d) The Company and each Guarantor shall have furnished to the Representatives a certificate of the Company and each Guarantor, signed by (x) the Chairman of the Board or the President and (y) the principal financial or accounting officer of the Company and each Guarantor, dated the Closing Date, to the effect that the signers of such certificate have carefully examined the Final Memorandum, any amendment or supplement to the Final Memorandum and this Agreement and that: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company and each Guarantor in this Agreement are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date with the same effect as if made on the Closing Date, and the Company and each Guarantor has complied with all the agreements and satisfied all the conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) since the date of the most recent financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there has been no material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary 16 course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). (e) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to furnish to the Representatives letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants with regard to Medtech and Denorex and The Spic and Span Company within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating, as of the Execution Time (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the Final Memorandum, as of a date not more than five days prior to the Execution Time), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants' "comfort letters" to Representatives. References to the Final Memorandum in this Section 6(e) include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of the applicable letter. (f) At the Execution Time and at the Closing Date, the Company shall have requested and caused Ernst & Young LLP to furnish to the Representatives letters, dated respectively as of the Execution Time and as of the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives, confirming that they are independent accountants with regard to Bonita Bay Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act and the respective applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder and stating, as of the Execution Time (or, with respect to matters involving changes or developments since the respective dates as of which specified financial information is given in the Final Memorandum, as of a date not more than five days prior to the Execution Time), the conclusions and findings of such firm with respect to the financial information and other matters ordinarily covered by accountants' "comfort letters" to Representatives. References to the Final Memorandum in this Section 6(f) include any amendment or supplement thereto at the date of the applicable letter. (g) At the Execution Time, the Company shall have requested and caused Deloitte & Touche LLP, to furnish to the Initial Purchasers letters in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers consenting to the inclusion in the Offering Memorandum of the Clear Eyes Murine Financials, and consenting to the inclusion in the Offering Memorandum of their report with respect to such financial statements. (h) Subsequent to the Execution Time or, if earlier, the dates as of which information is given in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), there shall not have been (i) any change or decrease specified in the letter or letters referred to in paragraphs (e) and (f) of this Section 6; or (ii) any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, earnings, business or properties of the Parent and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, except as set forth in or contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto), the effect of which, in any case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, is, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, so material and adverse as to make it impractical or inadvisable to proceed 17 with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). (i) The Securities shall have been designated as PORTAL-eligible securities in accordance with the rules and regulations of the NASD and the Securities shall be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(l) Each condition to the closing of the Acquisition contemplated by the Acquisition Agreement shall have been satisfied or, with the written consent of the Representatives, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, waived.

(m) Subsequent to the Execution Time, there shall not have been any decrease in the rating of any of the Company's securities by any "nationally recognized statistical rating organization" (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Act) or any notice given of any intended or potential decrease in any such rating or of a possible change in any such rating that does not indicate the direction of the possible change. (n) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Guarantors shall have furnished to the Representatives such further information, certificates and documents as the Representatives may reasonably request. If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have been fulfilled when and as provided in this Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall not be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Representatives and counsel for the Initial Purchasers, this Agreement and all obligations of the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be cancelled at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date by the Representatives. Notice of such cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing or by telephone or facsimile confirmed in writing. The documents required to be delivered by this Section 6 will be delivered at the office of counsel for the Initial Purchasers, at c/o Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10153, on the Closing Date. 7. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in 18 Section 6 hereof is not satisfied or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company or any of the Guarantors to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through Citigroup on demand for all reasonable expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities. 8. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that with respect to any untrue statement or omission of material fact made in any Preliminary Memorandum, the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not inure to the benefit of any Initial Purchaser from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim, damage or liability purchased the securities concerned, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such Initial Purchaser occurs under the circumstance where it shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment that (w) the Company had previously furnished copies of the Final Memorandum to the Representatives, (x) delivery of the Final Memorandum was required by the Act to be made to such person, (y) the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum was corrected in the Final Memorandum and (z) there was not sent or given to such person, at or prior to the written confirmation of the sale of such securities to such person, a copy of the Final Memorandum. (b) Each Initial Purchaser severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Guarantors, each of their directors, each of their officers, and each person who controls the Company or any Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to 19 such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company and the Guarantors acknowledge that (i) the statements set forth in the last paragraph of the cover page regarding delivery of the Securities and (ii), under the heading "Plan of Distribution", (A) the 4th and 5th sentences of the 9th paragraph and (B) the 8th and 9th sentences of the 10th paragraph in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure would materially prejudice the indemnifying party and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel to the extent necessary), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such Initial Purchasers and controlling persons, which firm shall be designated in writing by Citigroup. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder 20 (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 8 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively "LOSSES") to which the Company or any Guarantor and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, severally shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or a Guarantor, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 8, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, Affiliate and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company or a Guarantor within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company and any Guarantor shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). 9. DEFAULT BY AN INITIAL PURCHASER. If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set 21 forth opposite their names in Schedule I hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule I hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such nondefaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 9, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representatives shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company or any nondefaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder. 10. TERMINATION. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representatives, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities as contemplated in the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto). 11. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors or their officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Company, the Guarantors or any of the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 8 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 12. NOTICES. All communications hereunder will be in writing and effective only on receipt, and, if sent to the Representatives, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to the Citigroup General Counsel (fax no.: (212) 816-7912) and confirmed to Citigroup at 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013, Attention: General Counsel; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telefaxed to (914) 524-6802 and confirmed to it at 90 North Broadway, Irvington, New York 10533, attention of the Legal Department. 13. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the indemnified persons referred to in 22 Section 8 hereof and their respective successors, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(h) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. 14. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 15. COUNTERPARTS.

If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advance is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise. The Corporation may also indemnify any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. As used herein, the term "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit , or proceeding. ELEVENTH: No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders or between the Corporation and any person (as used herein, "person" means other corporation, partnership, association, firm, trust, joint venture, political subdivision, or instrumentality) or other organization in which one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders are directors, officers, or stockholders, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her, or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this certificate of incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation. I, the undersigned, being the incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, do make this certificate, hereby declaring that this is my act and deed and that the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of December, 2003. /S/ KATHRYN TRUETT ---------------------------------- Kathryn Truett, Incorporator

Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. ARTICLE II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof. SECTION 2. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request therefor, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (l0%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (l0) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. 2 A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. 3 SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. ARTICLE III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation.

Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board of Directors and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS; ORDER OF BUSINESS. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board of Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by the President, or by resolution of the Board of Directors. 5 SECTION 4. FIRST MEETING. Each newly elected Board of Directors may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders.

Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VII, Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. SECTION 7. REMOVAL. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If the directors of the Corporation are divided into classes, any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify. SECTION 9. COMPENSATION. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. 6 SECTION 10. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING; TELEPHONE CONFERENCE MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board. If the Chairman is absent at any meeting of the Board, the Vice Chairman shall preside over such Board meeting.

Section 4.11 OFFICERS. (a) The Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) may, from time to time, designate one or more persons to be officers of the LLC. No officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware, a Member or a Manager. Any officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) may assign titles to particular officers. Unless the Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to (i) any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer by the Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) pursuant to the third sentence of this SECTION 4.11(a) or (ii) any delegation of authority and duties made to one or more Managers pursuant to SECTION 4.2(a).

Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board or any Manager. The acceptance of a - 9 - resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, by the Board whenever in its judgment the best interests of the LLC shall be served thereby; provided, however, that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the individual so removed. Designation of an officer shall not of itself create contract rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the LLC may be filled by the Board. Section 4.12 INDEMNIFICATION. The LLC shall fully protect, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under the Act (including, without limitation, indemnification for negligence, gross negligence and breach of fiduciary duty, in each case to the extent so authorized under the Act) as amended from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the LLC to provide indemnification rights broader than the Act permitted the LLC to provide prior to such amendment), the Board and each Participant, and each of their respective equityholders, directors, officers, partners, members, managers controlling persons, agents and employees, against all losses, liabilities, damages or expenses (including amounts paid for attorneys' fees and judgments and settlements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding) to which any such person or entity directly or indirectly suffers by virtue of any action taken or omission by such person or entity in connection with his or its involvement with the LLC or any subsidiary of the LLC (including serving as a manager, officer, director, consultant or employee of any subsidiary of the LLC), but only to the extent the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such action or omission does not violate this Agreement or any other agreement to which such person or entity is a party or by which such person or entity is bound and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, was taken without reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In the sole discretion of the Board, the LLC will pay (as incurred) the expenses incurred by such person or entity indemnifiable hereunder in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, so long as the LLC receives a written undertaking (reasonably acceptable to the Board) by such person or entity to repay the full amount advanced if there is a final determination that such person or entity is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. The LLC may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses to any employee, officer or agent of the LLC. Section 4.13 TRANSFER OF LLC INTEREST. (a) No Participant shall sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law (a "TRANSFER"), all or any portion of his, her or its interest in the LLC without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or disposition to any affiliate of the Participant (in which case no consent of the Board will be required). - 10 - (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Transfer by the Participants in contravention of any of the provisions of this SECTION 4.13 shall be void and ineffective, and shall not bind, or be recognized by, the LLC. (c) If and to the extent any Transfer of an interest in the LLC is permitted hereunder, this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be amended by the Board to reflect the Transfer of the LLC interest to the transferee, to admit the transferee as a Member and to reflect the elimination of the transferring Participant (or the reduction of such Transferring Participant's interest in the LLC) and (if and to the extent then required by the Act) a certificate of amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission and elimination (or reduction) shall be filed in accordance with the Act. The effectiveness of the Transfer of an interest in the LLC permitted hereunder and the admission of any substitute Member pursuant to this SECTION 4.13 shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the Transfer of an interest in the LLC to such Participant or if later on the first date that the Board receives evidence of such Transfer, including the terms thereof. If the transferring Participant has transferred all or any of its interest in the LLC pursuant to this SECTION 4.13, then, immediately following such Transfer or, if later, on the first date that the Board receives evidence of such Transfer, including the terms thereof, the transferring Participant shall cease to be a Participant with respect to such interest. (d) Any person or entity who acquires in any manner whatsoever any interest in the LLC, irrespective of whether such person or entity has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to have (i) made all of the capital contributions made by, (ii) received all of the distributions received by, and (iii) agreed to be subject to and bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement that, any predecessor in such interest in the LLC made, received and was subject to or bound by. Section 4.14 MEMBER RIGHTS; MEETINGS. (a) No Member, other than a Member that is also a Manager, shall have any right, power or duty, including the right to approve or vote on any matter, except as expressly required by the Act or other applicable law or as expressly provided for hereunder. (b) Unless a greater vote is required by the Act or as expressly provided for hereunder, the affirmative vote of a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) entitled to vote shall be required to approve any proposed action. (c) Meetings of the Member(s) for the transaction of such business as may properly come before such Member(s) shall be held at such place, on such date and at such time as the Board shall determine.

The LLC shall deliver oral or written notice (written notice may be delivered by mail) stating the date, time, place and purposes of any meeting to each - 11 - Member entitled to vote at the meeting. Such notice shall be given not less than four (4) and no more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.

If required by the board of directors, the treasurer shall give the corporation a bond (which shall be rendered every six (6) years) in such sums and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the board of directors for the faithful performance of the duties of the office of treasurer and for the restoration to the corporation, in case of death, resignation, retirement, or removal from office, of all books, papers, vouchers, money, and other property of whatever kind in the possession or under the control of the treasurer belonging to the corporation. The assistant treasurer, or if there shall be more than one, the assistant treasurers in the order determined by the board of directors, shall in the absence or disability of the treasurer, perform the duties and exercise the powers of - 7 - the treasurer.

OTHER OFFICERS, ASSISTANT OFFICERS AND AGENTS.

SECTION 12. ABSENCE OR DISABILITY OF OFFICERS. In the case of the absence or disability of any officer of the corporation and of any person hereby authorized to act in such officer's place during such officer's absence or disability, the board of directors may by resolution delegate the powers and duties of such officer to any other officer or to any director, or to any other person whom it may select. ARTICLE V INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS SECTION 1. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation - 8 - denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 3. ARTICLE NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 4. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V. SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. SECTION 6. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors. - 9 - SECTION 7. CONTRACT RIGHTS. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. SECTION 8. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE VI CERTIFICATES OF STOCK SECTION 1. FORM. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares of a specific class or series owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or - 10 - registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation. SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. SECTION 3. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 4. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. - 11 - SECTION 5. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. SECTION 6. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof. SECTION 7. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR STOCK. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 1. DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. SECTION 2. CHECKS, DRAFTS OR ORDERS. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. SECTION 3. CONTRACTS.

SECTION 4. LOANS. The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute. SECTION 5. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors. SECTION 6. CORPORATE SEAL. The board of directors shall provide a corporate seal which shall be in the form of a circle and shall have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation and the words "Corporate Seal, Delaware".

Voting securities in any other corporation held by the corporation shall be voted by the president, unless the board of directors specifically confers authority to vote with respect thereto, which authority may be general or confined to specific instances, upon some other person or officer. Any person authorized to vote securities shall have the power to appoint proxies, with general power of substitution. SECTION 8. INSPECTION OF BOOKS AND RECORDS.

A proper purpose shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its principal place of business. SECTION 9. SECTION HEADINGS. Section headings in these by-laws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein. SECTION 10. INCONSISTENT PROVISIONS. In the event that any provision of these by-laws is or becomes inconsistent with any provision of the certificate of incorporation, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or any other applicable law, the provision of these by-laws shall not be given any effect to the extent of such inconsistency but shall otherwise be given full force and effect. - 13 - ARTICLE VIII AMENDMENTS These by-laws may be amended, altered, or repealed and new by-laws adopted at any meeting of the board of directors by a majority vote.

Any member of the board of directors or any committee thereof who is present at a meeting shall be conclusively presumed to have waived notice of such meeting except when such member attends for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Such member shall be conclusively presumed to have assented to any action taken unless his or her dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless his or her written dissent to such action shall be filed with the person acting as the secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall be forwarded by registered mail to the secretary of the corporation immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to any member who voted in favor of such action. SECTION 12. ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board or committee. - 5 - ARTICLE IV OFFICERS SECTION 1.

ARTICLE V INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS SECTION 1. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation - 8 - denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 3. ARTICLE NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 4. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V. SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. SECTION 6. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors. - 9 - SECTION 7. CONTRACT RIGHTS. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. SECTION 8. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE VI CERTIFICATES OF STOCK SECTION 1. FORM. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares of a specific class or series owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or - 10 - registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation. SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. SECTION 3. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 4. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. - 11 - SECTION 5. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR OTHER PURPOSES. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment or any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purposes of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. SECTION 6. REGISTERED STOCKHOLDERS. Prior to the surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the corporation may treat the registered owner as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner. The corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof. SECTION 7. SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR STOCK. Unless otherwise provided for in the subscription agreement, subscriptions for shares shall be paid in full at such time, or in such installments and at such times, as shall be determined by the board of directors. Any call made by the board of directors for payment on subscriptions shall be uniform as to all shares of the same class or as to all shares of the same series. In case of default in the payment of any installment or call when such payment is due, the corporation may proceed to collect the amount due in the same manner as any debt due the corporation. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS SECTION 1. DIVIDENDS. Dividends upon the capital stock of the corporation, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation, if any, may be declared by the board of directors at any regular or special meeting, pursuant to law. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation. Before payment of any dividend, there may be set aside out of any funds of the corporation available for dividends such sum or sums as the directors from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper as a reserve or reserves to meet contingencies, or for equalizing dividends, or for repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, or any other purpose and the directors may modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created. SECTION 2. CHECKS, DRAFTS OR ORDERS. All checks, drafts, or other orders for the payment of money by or to the corporation and all notes and other evidences of indebtedness issued in the name of the corporation shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents of the corporation, and in such manner, as shall be determined by resolution of the board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof. SECTION 3. CONTRACTS.

SECTION 4. LOANS. The corporation may lend money to, or guarantee any obligation of, or otherwise assist any officer or other employee of the corporation or of its subsidiary, including any officer or employee who is a director of the corporation or its subsidiary, whenever, in the judgment of the directors, such loan, guaranty or assistance may reasonably be expected to benefit the corporation. The loan, guaranty or other assistance may be with or without interest, and may be unsecured, or secured in such manner as the board of directors shall approve, including, without limitation, a pledge of shares of stock of the corporation. Nothing in this section contained shall be deemed to deny, limit or restrict the powers of guaranty or warranty of the corporation at common law or under any statute. SECTION 5. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the corporation shall be fixed by resolution of the board of directors. SECTION 6. CORPORATE SEAL.

A proper purpose shall mean any purpose reasonably related to such person's interest as a stockholder. In every instance where an attorney or other agent shall be the person who seeks the right to inspection, the demand under oath shall be accompanied by a power of attorney or such other writing which authorizes the attorney or other agent to so act on behalf of the stockholder. The demand under oath shall be directed to the corporation at its registered office in the State of Delaware or at its principal place of business. SECTION 9. SECTION HEADINGS. Section headings in these by-laws are for convenience of reference only and shall not be given any substantive effect in limiting or otherwise construing any provision herein. SECTION 10.

A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. Any proxy is suspended when the person executing the proxy is present at a meeting of stockholders and elects to vote, except that when such proxy is coupled with an interest and the fact of the interest appears on the face of the proxy, the agent named in the proxy shall have all voting and other rights referred to in the proxy, notwithstanding the presence of the person executing the proxy.

ARTICLE V INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND OTHERS SECTION 1. NATURE OF INDEMNITY. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he, or a person of whom he is the legal representative, is or was a director or officer, of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the corporation to the fullest extent which it is empowered to do so unless prohibited from doing so by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys' fees actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding) and such indemnification shall inure to the benefit of his heirs, executors and administrators; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 2 hereof, the corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if such proceeding was authorized by the board of directors of the corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article V shall be a contract right and, subject to Sections 2 and 5 hereof, shall include the right to be paid by the corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition. The corporation may, by action of its board of directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the corporation with the same scope and effect as the foregoing indemnification of directors and officers. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS. Any indemnification of a director or officer of the corporation under Section 1 of this Article V or advance of expenses under Section 5 of this Article V shall be made promptly, and in any event within thirty (30) days, upon the written request of the director or officer. If a determination by the corporation that the director or officer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article V is required, and the corporation fails to respond within sixty (60) days to a written request for indemnity, the corporation shall be deemed to have approved the request. If the corporation - 8 - denies a written request for indemnification or advancing of expenses, in whole or in part, or if payment in full pursuant to such request is not made within thirty (30) days, the right to indemnification or advances as granted by this Article V shall be enforceable by the director or officer in any court of competent jurisdiction. Such person's costs and expenses incurred in connection with successfully establishing his right to indemnification, in whole or in part, in any such action shall also be indemnified by the corporation. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any, has been tendered to the corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware for the corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of such defense shall be on the corporation. Neither the failure of the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, nor an actual determination by the corporation (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 3. ARTICLE NOT EXCLUSIVE. The rights to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Article V shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 4. INSURANCE. The corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on its own behalf and on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in any such capacity, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under this Article V. SECTION 5. EXPENSES. Expenses incurred by any person described in Section 1 of this Article V in defending a proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of such proceeding's final disposition unless otherwise determined by the board of directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such expenses incurred by other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate. SECTION 6. EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. Persons who are not covered by the foregoing provisions of this Article V and who are or were employees or agents of the corporation, or who are or were serving at the request of the corporation as employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, may be indemnified to the extent authorized at any time or from time to time by the board of directors. - 9 - SECTION 7. CONTRACT RIGHTS. The provisions of this Article V shall be deemed to be a contract right between the corporation and each director or officer who serves in any such capacity at any time while this Article V and the relevant provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or other applicable law are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article V or any such law shall not affect any rights or obligations then existing with respect to any state of facts or proceeding then existing. SECTION 8. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. For purposes of this Article V, references to "the corporation" shall include, in addition to the resulting corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers, and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under this Article V with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he or she would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. ARTICLE VI CERTIFICATES OF STOCK SECTION 1. FORM. Every holder of stock in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate, signed by, or in the name of the corporation by the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation, certifying the number of shares of a specific class or series owned by such holder in the corporation. If such a certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent or an assistant transfer agent other than the corporation or its employee or (2) by a registrar, other than the corporation or its employee, the signature of any such president, vice-president, secretary, or assistant secretary may be facsimiles. In case any officer or officers who have signed, or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used on, any such certificate or certificates shall cease to be such officer or officers of the corporation whether because of death, resignation or otherwise before such certificate or certificates have been delivered by the corporation, such certificate or certificates may nevertheless be issued and delivered as though the person or persons who signed such certificate or certificates or whose facsimile signature or signatures have been used thereon had not ceased to be such officer or officers of the corporation. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the books of the corporation. Shares of stock of the corporation shall only be transferred on the books of the corporation by the holder of record thereof or by such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender to the corporation of the certificate or certificates for such shares endorsed by the appropriate person or persons, with such evidence of the authenticity of such endorsement, transfer, authorization, and other matters as the corporation may reasonably require, and accompanied by all necessary stock transfer stamps. In that event, it shall be the duty of the corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate or certificates, and record the transaction on its books. The board of directors may appoint a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof to act as its transfer agent or - 10 - registrar, or both in connection with the transfer of any class or series of securities of the corporation. SECTION 2. LOST CERTIFICATES. The board of directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates previously issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate of stock to be lost, stolen, or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the board of directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his or her legal representative, to give the corporation a bond sufficient to indemnify the corporation against any claim that may be made against the corporation on account of the loss, theft or destruction of any such certificate or the issuance of such new certificate. SECTION 3. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR STOCKHOLDER MEETINGS. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be the close of business on the next day preceding the day on which notice is given, or if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 4. FIXING A RECORD DATE FOR ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors. If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the board of directors is required by statute, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the corporation's registered office shall be by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Such notice shall be given by the secretary, or by an officer or person designated by the board of directors, or in the case of a special meeting by the officer calling the meeting.

No notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjourned session thereof need be given to a stockholder if a written waiver of notice, executed before or after the meeting or such adjourned session by such stockholder, is filed with the records of the meeting or if the stockholder attends such meeting without objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any meeting of the stockholders or any adjourned session thereof need be specified in any written waiver of notice. e. QUORUM OF STOCKHOLDERS.

Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes properly cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present. If a quorum is present at an original meeting, a quorum need not be present at an adjourned session of that meeting. Shares of its own stock belonging to the corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of any corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity. f. ACTION BY VOTE. When a quorum is present at any meeting, a plurality of the votes properly cast for election to any office shall elect to such office and a majority of the votes properly cast upon any question other than an election to an office shall decide the question, except when a larger vote is required by law, by the certificate of incorporation or by these by-laws. No ballot shall be required -2- for any election unless requested by a stockholder present or represented at the meeting and entitled to vote in the election. g. ACTION WITHOUT MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken by stockholders for or in connection with any corporate action may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the corporation by delivery to its registered office in Delaware by hand or certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to its principal place of business or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Each such written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless written consents signed by a number of stockholders sufficient to take such action are delivered to the corporation in the manner specified in this paragraph within sixty days of the earliest dated consent so delivered.

In the event that the action which is consented to is such as would have required the filing of a certificate under any provision of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, if such action had been voted upon by the stockholders at a meeting thereof, the certificate filed under such provision shall state, in lieu of any statement required by such provision concerning a vote of stockholders, that written consent has been given under Section 228 of said General Corporation Law and that written notice has been given as provided in such Section 228. h. PROXY REPRESENTATION. Every stockholder may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy in all matters in which a stockholder is entitled to participate, whether by waiving notice of any meeting, objecting to or voting or participating at a meeting, or expressing consent or dissent without a meeting. Every proxy must be signed by the stockholder or by his attorney-in-fact. No -3- proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date unless such proxy provides for a longer period. A duly executed proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A proxy may be made irrevocable regardless of whether the interest with which it is coupled is an interest in the stock itself or an interest in the corporation generally. The authorization of a proxy may but need not be limited to specified action, provided, however, that if a proxy limits its authorization to a meeting or meetings of stockholders, unless otherwise specifically provided such proxy shall entitle the holder thereof to vote at any adjourned session but shall not be valid after the final adjournment thereof. i. INSPECTORS. The directors or the person presiding at the meeting may, and shall if required by applicable law, appoint one or more inspectors of election and any substitute inspectors to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

Any repeal or amendment of this Article Tenth shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Article Tenth. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advance is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise. The Corporation may also indemnify any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. As used herein, the term "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding. ELEVENTH: No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders or between the Corporation and any person (as used herein, "person" means other corporation, partnership, association, firm, trust, joint venture, political subdivision, or instrumentality) or other organization in which one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders are directors, officers, or stockholders, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her, or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this certificate of incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation. I, the undersigned, being the incorporator hereinbefore named, for the purpose of forming a corporation pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, do make this certificate, hereby declaring that this is my act and deed and that the facts herein stated are true, and accordingly have hereunto set my hand this 12th day of December, 2003. /s/ KATHRYN TRUETT ---------------------------------- Kathryn Truett, Incorporator

Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. ARTICLE II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof.

Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At any such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3.

An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request therefor, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (l0%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (l0) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. 2 A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. 3 SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. ARTICLE III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation.

Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board of Directors and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS; ORDER OF BUSINESS. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board of Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by the President, or by resolution of the Board of Directors. 5 SECTION 4. FIRST MEETING. Each newly elected Board of Directors may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders.

Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VII, Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. SECTION 7. REMOVAL. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If the directors of the Corporation are divided into classes, any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify. SECTION 9. COMPENSATION. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. 6 SECTION 10. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING; TELEPHONE CONFERENCE MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws.

Section 4.10 CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN. The Board shall designate one of the Managers to serve as Chairman and a different Manager to serve as Vice Chairman. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board. If the Chairman is absent at any meeting of the Board, the Vice Chairman shall preside over such Board meeting.

Section 4.11 OFFICERS. (a) The Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) may, from time to time, designate one or more persons to be officers of the LLC. No officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware, a Member or a Manager. Any officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) may assign titles to particular officers. Unless the Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to (i) any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such officer by the Board or a Majority in Interest of the Member(s) pursuant to the third sentence of this SECTION 4.11(a) or (ii) any delegation of authority and duties made to one or more Managers pursuant to SECTION 4.2(a).

Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board or any Manager. The acceptance of a - 9 - resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, by the Board whenever in its judgment the best interests of the LLC shall be served thereby; provided, however, that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the individual so removed. Designation of an officer shall not of itself create contract rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the LLC may be filled by the Board. Section 4.12 INDEMNIFICATION. The LLC shall fully protect, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under the Act (including, without limitation, indemnification for negligence, gross negligence and breach of fiduciary duty, in each case to the extent so authorized under the Act) as amended from time to time (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the LLC to provide indemnification rights broader than the Act permitted the LLC to provide prior to such amendment), the Board and each Participant, and each of their respective equityholders, directors, officers, partners, members, managers controlling persons, agents and employees, against all losses, liabilities, damages or expenses (including amounts paid for attorneys' fees and judgments and settlements in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding) to which any such person or entity directly or indirectly suffers by virtue of any action taken or omission by such person or entity in connection with his or its involvement with the LLC or any subsidiary of the LLC (including serving as a manager, officer, director, consultant or employee of any subsidiary of the LLC), but only to the extent the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that such action or omission does not violate this Agreement or any other agreement to which such person or entity is a party or by which such person or entity is bound and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, was taken without reasonable cause to believe such conduct was unlawful. In the sole discretion of the Board, the LLC will pay (as incurred) the expenses incurred by such person or entity indemnifiable hereunder in connection with any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, so long as the LLC receives a written undertaking (reasonably acceptable to the Board) by such person or entity to repay the full amount advanced if there is a final determination that such person or entity is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. The LLC may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board, grant rights of indemnification and advancement of expenses to any employee, officer or agent of the LLC. Section 4.13 TRANSFER OF LLC INTEREST. (a) No Participant shall sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law (a "TRANSFER"), all or any portion of his, her or its interest in the LLC without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer or disposition to any affiliate of the Participant (in which case no consent of the Board will be required). - 10 - (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Transfer by the Participants in contravention of any of the provisions of this SECTION 4.13 shall be void and ineffective, and shall not bind, or be recognized by, the LLC. (c) If and to the extent any Transfer of an interest in the LLC is permitted hereunder, this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be amended by the Board to reflect the Transfer of the LLC interest to the transferee, to admit the transferee as a Member and to reflect the elimination of the transferring Participant (or the reduction of such Transferring Participant's interest in the LLC) and (if and to the extent then required by the Act) a certificate of amendment to the Certificate reflecting such admission and elimination (or reduction) shall be filed in accordance with the Act. The effectiveness of the Transfer of an interest in the LLC permitted hereunder and the admission of any substitute Member pursuant to this SECTION 4.13 shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the Transfer of an interest in the LLC to such Participant or if later on the first date that the Board receives evidence of such Transfer, including the terms thereof. If the transferring Participant has transferred all or any of its interest in the LLC pursuant to this SECTION 4.13, then, immediately following such Transfer or, if later, on the first date that the Board receives evidence of such Transfer, including the terms thereof, the transferring Participant shall cease to be a Participant with respect to such interest. (d) Any person or entity who acquires in any manner whatsoever any interest in the LLC, irrespective of whether such person or entity has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to have (i) made all of the capital contributions made by, (ii) received all of the distributions received by, and (iii) agreed to be subject to and bound by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement that, any predecessor in such interest in the LLC made, received and was subject to or bound by. Section 4.14 MEMBER RIGHTS; MEETINGS. (a) No Member, other than a Member that is also a Manager, shall have any right, power or duty, including the right to approve or vote on any matter, except as expressly required by the Act or other applicable law or as expressly provided for hereunder.

Section 2. DIVIDENDS. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may cause dividends to be paid to the holders of shares of Common Stock out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends by declaring an amount per share as a dividend. When and as dividends or other distributions (including, without limitation, any grant or distribution of rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of capital stock or securities or indebtedness convertible into capital stock of the Corporation) are declared, whether payable in cash, in property or in shares of stock of the Corporation, other than in shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock, the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to share equally, share for share, in such dividends or other distributions as if all such shares were of a single class: PROVIDED, that if the dividends consist of other voting securities of the Corporation, the Corporation shall make available to each Regulated Holder, at such holder's request, dividends consisting of non-voting securities of the Corporation which are otherwise identical to the voting securities and which are convertible or exchangeable for such voting securities on the same terms as the Class B Common Stock is convertible into Class A Common Stock.

Section 4. CONVERSION. (a) At any time and from time to time, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock and each share of Class A Common Stock shall be convertible into one share of Class B Common Stock. (b) Each conversion of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into shares of another class of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be effected by the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be converted (the "Converting Shares") at the - -2- principal office of the Corporation (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by written notice to the holders of Common Stock) at any time during its usual business hours, together with written notice duly executed by the holder of such Converting Shares, stating (i) that such shareholder desires to convert the Converting Shares, or a stated number of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates, into an equal number of shares of the other class of Common Stock (the "Converted Shares"), (ii) the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates for Converted Shares are to issued, (iii) instructions for the delivery thereof and (iv) that such conversion and the holding of such Converted Shares by such holder or holders are permitted under the then current applicable law. The Corporation shall promptly notify each converting shareholder of its receipt of such notice. Promptly after such surrender and the receipt of such written notice, the Corporation shall issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering shareholder's instructions the certificate or certificates evidencing the Converted Shares issuable upon such conversion, and the Corporation shall deliver to the converting shareholder a certificate (which shall contain such legends as were set forth on the surrendered certificate or certificates) representing any shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates that were delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion, but which were not converted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such conversion is subject to Section 6 of this Article III, the Corporation shall not issue such certificate or certificates until the expiration of the Deferral Period referred to therein. Such conversion, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such certificate or certificates shall have been surrendered and such notice shall have been received by the Corporation, and at such time the rights of the holder of the Converting Shares as such shareholder shall cease (except that, in the case of a conversion subject to Section 6 of this Article III, the conversion shall be deemed to be effective upon the expiration of the Deferral Period referred to therein) and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for the Converted Shares are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the shareholder or shareholders of record of the Converted Shares. Upon issuance of shares in accordance with this Section 4, such Converted Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately transmitted by the Corporation upon issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of shares of Common Stock in any manner which would interfere with the timely conversion of any shares of Common Stock. (c) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions pursuant to this Article III, the full number of shares of Common Stock of each class from time to time issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to convert and shall take all such action and obtain all such permits or orders as may be necessary to enable the Corporation lawfully to issue such shares upon any such conversion. In addition, the Corporation shall also reserve and keep available such other securities and property as may from time be deliverable upon conversion of Common Stock and shall take all such action and obtain all such permits or orders as may be necessary to enable the Corporation to lawfully deliver such other securities and property upon conversion. So long as any shares of Common Stock shall be - -3- outstanding, the Corporation shall take all corporate action necessary in order for the Corporation to be able to validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon any conversion thereof. Section 5. SUBDIVISIONS, COMBINATIONS AND OTHER ACTION AFFECTING CAPITAL STOCK. If shares of either class of Common Stock are subdivided or combined, then shares of both classes of Common Stock shall be so subdivided or combined, and effective provision shall be made for the protection of the conversion rights hereunder. The Corporation shall not enter into any reorganization, reclassification or change of shares of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock unless the shares, options, warrants or other rights, securities or other property issuable to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical on a share-for-share basis; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the shares, options, warrants or other rights, securities or other property issuable to holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, or the securities issuable upon conversion thereof, are convertible into or shall consist of voting securities, the Corporation shall make available to each holder of Class B Common Stock, at such holder's request, shares, options, warrants or other securities consisting of or convertible or exercisable into nonvoting securities which are otherwise identical to the voting securities received by the holders of Class A Common Stock and which are convertible into or exchangeable for such voting securities on the same terms as the Class B Common Stock is convertible into the Class A Common Stock. Section 6. REGULATED SHAREHOLDERS. (a) The Corporation shall not convert or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, acquire or take any other action affecting outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation if such action will increase the percentage of outstanding voting securities owned or controlled by any Regulated Holder who has identified itself as such to the Company in writing, which writing shall include the amount of shares of Common Stock held by such holder (other than each Regulated Holder which waives in writing its rights under this Article), unless the Corporation gives written notice (the "Deferral Notice") of such action to each Regulated Holder. The Corporation shall defer making any such conversion, redemption, purchase or other acquisition, or taking any such other action for a period of 20 days (the "Deferral Period") after giving the Deferral Notice in order to allow each Regulated Holder to determine whether it wishes to convert or take any other action with respect to the Common Stock it owns, controls or has the power to vote, and if any Regulated Holder then elects to convert any shares of Class A Common Stock, it shall notify the Corporation in writing within 10 days of the issuance of the Deferral Notice, in which case the Corporation shall promptly notify from time to time prior to the end of such 20-day period each other Regulated Holder of each proposed conversion and effect the conversions requested by all Regulated Holders at the end of the Deferral Period. The Corporation shall not directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, acquire or take any other action affecting outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation if such action will increase over 24.9% the percentage of outstanding Common Stock owned or controlled by any Regulation Y Holder and its Affiliates (other than a Regulation Y Holder which waives in writing its rights under this Article). - -4- (b) In no event shall the Company convert or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, acquire or take any other action affecting outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation if, after giving effect to such conversion, redemption, purchase, acquisition or other action, any Regulated Holders would be in violation of any applicable laws including, without limitation, Regulation Y or the SBIA. Section 7. MISCELLANEOUS. The issuance of certificates for shares of any class of Common Stock (upon conversion of shares of any other class of Common Stock or otherwise) shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and/or the issuance of shares of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the Common Stock converted. The Corporation shall keep at its principal executive office (or such other place as the Corporation reasonably designates) a register for the registration of shares of Common Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of any class of Common Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares of such class represented by the surrendered certificate, and the Corporation forthwith shall cancel such surrendered certificate.

An annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held each year within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of the immediately preceding fiscal year of the Corporation for the purpose of electing directors and conducting such other proper business as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day herein designated for any annual meeting, or at any adjournment of that meeting, the Board of Directors shall call a special meeting of the stockholders as soon as possible thereafter. At this meeting the election of directors shall take place, and the election and any other business transacted shall have the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held. No change in the time or place for a meeting for the election of directors shall be made within 20 days preceding the day on which the election is to be held. Written notice of any change shall be given each stockholder at least 20 days before the election is held, either in person or by letter mailed to the stockholder at the address last shown on the books of the Corporation. In the event the annual meeting is not held at the time prescribed in Article II, Section I, and if the Board of Directors shall not call a special meeting as prescribed in Article II, Section I within three months after the date prescribed for the annual meeting, then any stockholder may call that meeting, and at that meeting the stockholders may elect the directors and transact other business with the same force and effect as at an annual meeting duly called and held. Section 2. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the stockholders may be called by the Chairman of the Board, the Board of Directors, the President or by the holders of at least fifty percent (50%) of the stock entitled to vote at that meeting.

If mailed or telegraphed, it should be directed to the stockholder at the address last shown on the books of the Corporation. No publication of the notice of meeting shall be required. A stockholder may waive the notice of meeting by attendance, either in person or by proxy, at the meeting, or by so stating in writing, either before or after the meeting. Attendance at a meeting for the express purpose of objecting that the meeting was not lawfully called or convened shall not, however, constitute a waiver of notice. Except where otherwise required by law, notice need not be given of any adjourned meeting of the stockholders. Section 4. QUORUM. Except as otherwise provided by law, a quorum at all meetings of stockholders shall consist of the holders of record of a majority of the shares entitled to vote present in person or by proxy.

In order to determine the holders of record of the Corporation's stock who are entitled to notice of meetings, to vote at a meeting or its adjournment, to receive payment of any dividend, or to make a determination of the stockholders of record for any other proper purpose, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may order that the Stock Transfer Books be closed for a period not to exceed seventy days. If the purpose of this closing is to determine who is entitled to notice of a meeting and to vote at such meeting, the Stock Transfer Books shall be closed for at least thirty days preceding such meeting. In lieu of closing the Stock Transfer Books, the Board of Directors may fix a date as the record date for the determination of stockholders. This date shall be no more than sixty days prior to the date of the action which requires the determination, nor, in the case of a stockholders' meeting, shall it be less than thirty days in advance of such meeting. If the Stock Transfer Books are not closed and no record date is fixed for the determination of the stockholders of record, the date of which notice of the meeting is mailed, or on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring a dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for the determination of stockholders. When a determination of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting has been made as provided in this section, this determination shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, except when the determination has been made by the closing of the Stock Transfer Books and the stated period of closing has expired. Section 6. PRESIDING OFFICER; ORDER OF BUSINESS. Meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board, or, if he or she is not present, by the Chief 2 Executive Officer, or if not present, by the President, or if he or she is not present, by a Vice-President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board nor the Chief Executive Officer nor the President nor a Vice-President is present, by a chairman to be chosen by a majority of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting who are present in person or by proxy.

A stockholder may vote his or her shares through a proxy appointed by a written instrument signed by the stockholder or by a duly authorized attorney-in-fact and delivered to the secretary of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after three months from the date of its execution unless a longer period is expressly provided. A majority vote of those shares entitled to vote and represented at the meeting, a quorum being present, shall be the act of the meeting except that in electing directors a plurality of the votes cast shall elect. At all elections of directors, the voting shall be by ballot. Section 8. LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS. A complete list of the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote at the ensuing meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of, and number of shares owned by, each stockholder shall be prepared by the Secretary, or other officer of the Corporation having charge of the Stock Transfer Books. This list shall be kept on file for a period of at least ten days prior to the meeting at the principal office of the Corporation and shall be subject to inspection during the usual business hours of such period by any stockholder. This list shall also be available at the meeting and shall be open to inspection by any stockholder at any time during the meeting. The original Stock Transfer Books shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list or to vote at any meeting of the stockholders. Failure to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the validity of any action taken at any meetings of the stockholders. ARTICLE III DIRECTORS Section 1.

The initial number of members of the Board of Directors shall be set at two members.

The number of directors may be increased or decreased from time to time by an amendment to these Bylaws. Any increased number of directors shall be elected by the stockholders at the next regular annual meeting or at a special meeting called for that purpose. The number of directors shall never be less than one. Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation. 3 A majority of the directors in office shall be necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If, at any meeting of the Board of Directors, there shall be less than a quorum present, a majority of those present may adjourn the meeting, without further notice, from time to time until a quorum shall have been obtained. In case there are vacancies on the Board of Directors, other than vacancies created by the removal of a director or directors by the stockholders or by an increase in the number of directors, the remaining directors, although less than a quorum, may by a majority vote elect a successor or successors for the unexpired term or terms. Section 2. MEETINGS. Meetings of the Board of Directors may be held either within or without the Commonwealth of Virginia. Meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at those times as are fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board.

A meeting of the Board of Directors may be held without notice immediately following the annual meeting of the stockholders. Notice need not be given of regular meetings of the Board of Directors held at times fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors nor need notice be given of adjourned meetings. Meetings may be held at any time without notice if all the directors are present or if, before the meeting, those not present waive such notice in writing. Notice of a meeting of the Board of Directors need not Commonwealth the purpose of, nor the business to be transacted at, any meeting. Section 3. REMOVAL. At any meeting of the stockholders, any director or directors may be removed from office, without assignment of any reason, by a majority vote of the shares or class of shares, as the case may be, which elected the director or directors to be removed, provided, however, that if less than all the directors are to be removed, no individual director shall be removed if the number of votes cast against her or his removal would be sufficient, if cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board, to elect one or more directors. When any director or directors are removed, new directors may be elected at the same meeting of the stockholders for the unexpired term of the director or directors removed. If the stockholders fail to elect persons to fill the unexpired term or terms of the director or directors removed, these unexpired terms shall be considered vacancies on the board to be filled by the remaining directors. Section 4. INDEMNIFICATION. The Corporation shall indemnify each of its directors, officers, and employees whether or not then in service as such (and his or her executor, administrator and heirs), against all reasonable expenses actually and necessarily incurred by him or her in connection with the defense of any litigation to which the individual may have been made a party because he or she is or was a director, officer or employee of the Corporation. The individual shall have no right to reimbursement, however, in relation to matters as to which he or she has been adjudged liable to the Corporation for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his or her duties, or was derelict in the performance of his or her duty as director, officer or employee by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties of his or her office or employment. The right to indemnity for expenses shall also apply to the expenses of suits which are compromised or settled if the court having jurisdiction 4 of the matter shall approve such settlement. The foregoing right of indemnification shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other rights to that which such director, officer or employee may be entitled. Section 5. COMPENSATION. Directors, and members of any committee of the Board of Directors, shall be entitled to any reasonable compensation for their services as directors and members of any committee as shall be fixed from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors, and shall also be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable expense incurred in attending those meetings.

Each committee shall consist of at least three members of the Board of Directors. Each committee shall have and may exercise any and all powers as are conferred or authorized by the resolution appointing it. A majority of each committee may determine its action and may fix the time and place of its meetings, unless provided otherwise by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall have the power at any time to fill vacancies in, to change the size of membership of, and to discharge any committee. Each committee shall keep a written record of its acts and proceedings and shall submit that record to the Board of Directors at each regular meeting and at any other times as requested by the Board of Directors. Failure to submit the record, or failure of the Board to approve any action indicated therein will not, however, invalidate the action to the extent it has been carried out by the Corporation prior to the time the record of such action was, or should have been, submitted to the Board of Directors as provided. Section 7. DIVIDENDS. Subject always to the provisions of law and the Articles of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have full power to determine whether any, and, if so, what part, of the funds legally available for the payment of dividends shall be declared in dividends and paid to the stockholders of the Corporation.

(a) At any time and from time to time, each share of Class B Common Stock shall be convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock and each share of Class A Common Stock shall be convertible into one share of Class B Common Stock. -2- (b) Each conversion of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into shares of another class of Common Stock of the Corporation shall be effected by the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing the shares to be converted (the "Converting Shares") at the principal office of the Corporation (or such other office or agency of the Corporation as the Corporation may designate by written notice to the holders of Common Stock) at any time during its usual business hours, together with written notice duly executed by the holder of such Converting Shares, stating (i) that such shareholder desires to convert the Converting Shares, or a stated number of the shares represented by such certificate or certificates, into an equal number of shares of the other class of Common Stock (the "Converted Shares"), (ii) the name or names (with addresses) and denominations in which the certificate or certificates for Converted Shares are to issued, (iii) instructions for the delivery thereof and (iv) that such conversion and the holding of such Converted Shares by such holder or holders are permitted under the then current applicable law. The Corporation shall promptly notify each converting shareholder of its receipt of such notice. Promptly after such surrender and the receipt of such written notice, the Corporation shall issue and deliver in accordance with the surrendering shareholder's instructions the certificate or certificates evidencing the Converted Shares issuable upon such conversion, and the Corporation shall deliver to the converting shareholder a certificate (which shall contain such legends as were set forth on the surrendered certificate or certificates) representing any shares which were represented by the certificate or certificates that were delivered to the Corporation in connection with such conversion, but which were not converted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if such conversion is subject to Section 6 of this Article III, the Corporation shall not issue such certificate or certificates until the expiration of the Deferral Period referred to therein. Such conversion, to the extent permitted by law, shall be deemed to have been effected as of the close of business on the date on which such certificate or certificates shall have been surrendered and such notice shall have been received by the Corporation, and at such time the rights of the holder of the Converting Shares as such shareholder shall cease (except that, in the case of a conversion subject to Section 6 of this Article III, the conversion shall be deemed to be effective upon the expiration of the Deferral Period referred to therein) and the person or persons in whose name or names the certificate or certificates for the Converted Shares are to be issued upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the shareholder or shareholders of record of the Converted Shares. Upon issuance of shares in accordance with this Section 4, such Converted Shares shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Common Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable law or governmental regulation or any requirements of any securities exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately transmitted by the Corporation upon issuance). The Corporation shall not close its books against the transfer of shares of Common Stock in any manner which would interfere with the timely conversion of any shares of Common Stock. (c) The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized hut unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions pursuant to this Article III, the full number of shares of Common Stock of each class from time to time issuable upon the conversion of all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and entitled to convert and shall take all such action and obtain all such permits or orders as may be necessary to enable the -3- Corporation lawfully to issue such shares upon any such conversion. In addition, the Corporation shall also reserve and keep available such other securities and property as may from time be deliverable upon conversion of Common Stock and shall take all such action and obtain all such permits or orders as may be necessary to enable the Corporation to lawfully deliver such other securities and property upon conversion. So long as any shares of Common Stock shall be outstanding, the Corporation shall take all corporate action necessary in order for the Corporation to be able to validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock upon any conversion thereof. Section 5. SUBDIVISIONS, COMBINATIONS AND OTHER ACTION AFFECTING CAPITAL STOCK. If shares of either class of Common Stock are subdivided or combined, then shares of both classes of Common Stock shall be so subdivided or combined, and effective provision shall be made for the protection of the conversion rights hereunder. The Corporation shall not enter into any reorganization, reclassification or change of shares of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock unless the shares, options, warrants or other rights, securities or other property issuable to the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are identical on a share-for-share basis; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the shares, options, warrants or other rights, securities or other property issuable to holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, or the securities issuable upon conversion thereof, are convertible into or shall consist of voting securities, the Corporation shall make available to each holder of Class B Common Stock, at such holder's request, shares, options, warrants or other securities consisting of or convertible or exercisable into nonvoting securities which are otherwise identical to the voting securities received by the holders of Class A Common Stock and which are convertible into or exchangeable for such voting securities on the same terms as the Class B Common Stock is convertible into the Class A Common Stock. Section 6. REGULATED SHAREHOLDERS. (a) The Corporation shall not convert or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, acquire or take any other action affecting outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation if such action will increase the percentage of outstanding voting securities owned or controlled by any Regulated Holder who has identified itself as such to the Company in writing, which writing shall include the amount of shares of Common Stock held by such holder (other than each Regulated Holder which waives in writing its rights under this Article), unless the Corporation gives written notice (the "Deferral Notice") of such action to each Regulated Holder. The Corporation shall defer making any such conversion, redemption, purchase or other acquisition, or taking any such other action for a period of 20 days (the "Deferral Period") after giving the Deferral Notice in order to allow each Regulated Holder to determine whether it wishes to convert or take any other action with respect to the Common Stock it owns, controls or has the power to vote, and if any Regulated Holder then elects to convert any shares of Class A Common Stock, it shall notify the Corporation in writing within 10 days of the issuance of the Deferral Notice, in which case the Corporation shall promptly notify from time to time prior to the end of such 20-day period each other Regulated Holder of each proposed conversion and effect the conversions requested by all Regulated Holders at the end of the Deferral Period. The Corporation shall not directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, acquire or take any other action -4- affecting outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Corporation if such action will increase over 24.9% the percentage of outstanding Common Stock owned or controlled by any Regulation Y Holder and its Affiliates (other than a Regulation Y Holder which waives in writing its rights under this Article). (b) In no event shall the Company convert or directly or indirectly redeem, purchase, acquire or take any other action affecting outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation if, after giving effect to such conversion, redemption, purchase, acquisition or other action, any Regulated Holders would be in violation of any applicable laws including, without limitation, Regulation Y or the SBIA. Section 7. MISCELLANEOUS. The issuance of certificates for shares of any class of Common Stock (upon conversion of shares of any other class of Common Stock or otherwise) shall be made without charge to the holders of such shares for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by the Corporation in connection with such conversion and/or the issuance of shares of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the holder of the Common Stock converted. The Corporation shall keep at its principal executive office (or such other place as the Corporation reasonably designates) a register for the registration of shares of Common Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing shares of any class of Common Stock at such place, the Corporation shall, at the request of the registered holder of such certificate, execute and deliver a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares of such class represented by the surrendered certificate, and the Corporation forthwith shall cancel such surrendered certificate. Subject to any other restriction on transfer to which such holder or such shares may be bound, the Corporation shall also register such new certificate in such name or names as requested by the holder of the surrendered certificate.

The Corporation shall indemnify (1) any person who was or is a party to any proceeding, including a proceeding brought by a shareholder in the right of the Corporation or brought by or on behalf of shareholders of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or (2) any Director or officer who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, trustee, partner or officer of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability incurred by him in connection with such proceeding unless he engaged in willful misconduct or a knowing violation of the criminal law. A person is considered to be serving an employee benefit plan at the Corporation's request if his duties to the Corporation also impose duties on, or otherwise involve services by, him to the plan or to participants in or beneficiaries of the plan.

F. Any indemnification under Section C of this Article (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the applicant is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section C. The determination shall be made: 1. By the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of Directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; 2. If a quorum cannot be obtained under subsection 1 of this section, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation Directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two or more Directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; -7- 3.

If the Board of Directors and the applicant are unable to agree upon such special legal counsel the Board of Directors and the applicant each shall select a nominee, and the nominees shall select such special legal counsel. G. INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. 1. The Corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses incurred by any applicant who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding or the making of any determination under Section F if the applicant furnishes the Corporation: (a) a written statement of his good faith belief that he has met the standard of conduct described in Section C; and (b) a written undertaking, executed personally or on his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet such standard of conduct. 2. The undertaking required by paragraph (b) of subsection 1 of this section shall be an unlimited general obligation of the applicant but need not be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment. -8- 3. Authorizations of payments under this section shall he made by the persons specified in Section F. H.

The provisions of Sections D through E of this Article shall be applicable to any indemnification provided hereafter pursuant to this Section H. I. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance to indemnify it against the whole or any portion of the liability assumed by it in accordance with this Article and may also procure insurance, in such amounts as the Board of Directors may determine, on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a Director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against or incurred by him in any such capacity or arising from his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article. J. Every reference herein to Directors, officers, employees or agents shall include former Directors, officers, employees and agents and their respective heirs, executors and administrators.

Such rights shall not prevent or restrict the power of the Corporation to make or provide for any further indemnity, or provisions for determining entitlement to indemnity, pursuant to one or more indemnification agreements, bylaws, or other arrangements (including, without limitation, creation of trust funds or security interests funded by letters of credit or other means) approved by the Board of Directors (whether or not any of the Directors of the Corporation shall be a party to or beneficiary of any such agreements, bylaws or arrangements); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any provision of such agreements, bylaws or other arrangements shall not be effective if and to the extent that it is determined to be contrary to this Article or applicable laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. K. Each provision of this Article shall be severable, and an adverse determination as to any such provision shall in no way affect the validity of any other provision. -9- ARTICLE VI ACTION WITHOUT MEETING Action required or permitted by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act to be taken at a shareholders' meeting may be taken without a meeting and without prior notice (except for any notice required by the Virginia Stock Corporation Act), if the action is taken by shareholders who would be entitled to vote at a meeting of holders of outstanding shares having voting power to cast not less than the minimum number (or numbers, in the case of voting by groups) of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take the action at a meeting at which all shareholders entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. -10- EX-3.20 22 a2139109zex-3_20.txt EXHIBIT 3.20 Exhibit 3.20 BYLAWS of PRESTIGE BRANDS HOLDINGS, INC. ---------- ARTICLE I MEETINGS OF SHAREHOLDERS Section 1.1.

SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE. (a) Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed investigation, claim, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (including without limitation any action, suit or proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor) (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that such person, or a person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was or had agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, whether for profit or not for profit, including without limitation service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action or inaction in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee or agent, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or -15- may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, and excise taxes or penalties arising under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as in effect from time to time) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators. The right to indemnification conferred in this Section shall be a contract right and shall include the right to have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; any advance payments to be paid by the Corporation shall be paid within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from the claimant requesting such advance or advances from time to time; provided, however, that, if and to the extent the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a director or officer in such person's capacity as a director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such person while a director or officer, including without limitation service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such director or officer, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 2 or otherwise. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification, and rights to be have the Corporation pay the expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in -16- advance of its final disposition, to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation. (b) If a claim under paragraph (a) of this Section 2 is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) calendar days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standard of conduct which makes it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including without limitation its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because the claimant has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including without limitation its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. (c) The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE or its equivalent shall not, in itself, create a presumption that the -17- person seeking indemnification (i) did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the Corporation, (ii) with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person's conduct was unlawful or (iii) otherwise did not meet the statutory requirements entitling such person to indemnification. (d) The right to indemnification and the payment of expenses incurred in defending a proceeding in advance of its final disposition conferred in this Section 2 shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, these Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. No repeal or modification of this Article shall in any way diminish or adversely affect the rights of any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any occurrence or matter arising prior to any such repeal or modification. (e) The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any such expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. (f) The provisions of this Article VIII shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, executors, administrators, spouse, heirs, legatees or devisees of a person entitled to indemnification hereunder and the term "person," as used in this Section 2, shall include the estate, executors, -18- administrators, spouse, heirs, legatees or devisees of such person. (g) If any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including without limitation each portion of any paragraph of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (ii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including without limitation each such portion of any paragraph of this Article VIII containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable. ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS These Bylaws may be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors at any meeting or by the stockholders at any meeting. -19- EX-3.25 27 a2139109zex-3_25.txt EXHIBIT 3.25 Exhibit 3.25 STATE OF DELAWARE SECRETARY OF STATE DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS FILED 09:00 AM 03/01/2001 010103209 - 3068433 AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF PECOS COMPANY Incorporated pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on July 12, 1999.

Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting.

Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability.

The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

Article VI INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, -10- criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation -11- to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. SECTION 6. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. SECTION 7. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. -12- Article VII CAPITAL STOCK SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President shall cause to be issued to each stockholder one or more certificates, under the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof if the Board of Directors shall have provided for such seal, and signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by such stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. SECTION 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. SECTION 3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. SECTION 4. REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. -13- SECTION 5. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, Stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. CORPORATE SEAL. The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal, containing the name of the Corporation. The Secretary shall have charge of the seal (if any).

NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of these bylaws, said notice shall be deemed to be sufficient if given (i) by telegraphic, cable or wireless transmission or (ii) by deposit of the same in a post office box in a sealed prepaid wrapper addressed to the person entitled thereto at his post office address, as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such transmission or mailing, as the case may be. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. -14- SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors.

The registered office of the Corporation required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware to be maintained in the State of Delaware, shall be the registered office named in the original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, or such other office as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors in the manner provided by law. Should the Corporation maintain a principal office within the State of Delaware such registered office need not be identical to such principal office of the Corporation. SECTION 2. OTHER OFFICES. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require. Article II STOCKHOLDERS SECTION 1. PLACE OF MEETINGS. All meetings of the stockholders shall be held at the principal office of the Corporation, or at such other place within or without the State of Delaware as shall be specified or fixed in the notices or waivers of notice thereof. SECTION 2. QUORUM; ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at any meeting of stockholders for the transaction of business and the act of a majority of such stock so represented at any meeting of stockholders at which a quorum is present shall constitute the act of the meeting of stockholders. The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called. SECTION 3. ANNUAL MEETINGS. An annual meeting of the stockholders, for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, on such date, and at such time as the Board of Directors shall fix and set forth in the notice of the meeting, which date shall be within thirteen (13) months subsequent to the later of the date of incorporation or the last annual meeting of stockholders. SECTION 4. SPECIAL MEETINGS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or by a majority of the Board of Directors, or by a majority of the executive committee (if any), and shall be called by the Chairman of the Board (if any), by the President or the Secretary upon the written request there-for, stating the purpose or purposes of the meeting, delivered to such officer, signed by the holder(s) of at least ten percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at such meeting. SECTION 5. RECORD DATE. For the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders, or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may fix, in advance, a date as the record date for any such determination of stockholders, which date shall not be more than sixty (60) days nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed. The record date for determining stockholders for any other purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting. -2- SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting. Such notice may be delivered either personally or by mail. If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. SECTION 7. STOCK LIST. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock -3- entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order. Unless the chairman of the meeting of stockholders shall otherwise determine, the order of business shall be as follows: (a) Calling of meeting to order. (b) Election of a chairman and the appointment of a secretary if necessary. (c) Presentation of proof of the due calling of the meeting. (d) Presentation and examination of proxies and determination of a quorum. (e) Reading and settlement of the minutes of the previous meeting. (f) Reports of officers and committees.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Article III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (provided that no decrease in the number of directors which would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board of Directors). If the Board of Directors makes no such determination, the number of directors shall be the number set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board of Directors and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS; ORDER OF BUSINESS. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by -5- law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board of Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by the President, or by resolution of the Board of Directors. SECTION 4. FIRST MEETING. Each newly elected Board of Directors may hold its first meeting for the purpose of organization and the transaction of business, if a quorum is present, immediately after and at the same place as the annual meeting of the stockholders. Notice of such meeting shall not be required. At the first meeting of the Board of Directors in each year at which a quorum shall be present, held next after the annual meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors shall proceed to the election of the officers of the Corporation. SECTION 5. REGULAR MEETINGS. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors. Notice of such regular meetings shall not be required. SECTION 6. SPECIAL MEETINGS.

Such notice, or any waiver thereof pursuant to Article VIII, Section 3 hereof, need not state the purpose or purposes of such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws. SECTION 7. REMOVAL. Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced. If the directors of the Corporation are divided into classes, any directors elected to fill vacancies or newly created directorships shall hold office until the next election of the class for -6- which such directors shall have been chosen, and until their successors shall be duly elected and shall qualify. SECTION 9. COMPENSATION. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors. SECTION 10. ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING; TELEPHONE CONFERENCE MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. Article IV COMMITTEES SECTION 1. DESIGNATION; POWERS. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so -7- determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Any such designated committee shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation as may be provided in such resolution, except that no such committee shall have the power or authority of the Board of Directors in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution of the Corporation, or amending, altering or repealing the bylaws or adopting new bylaws for the Corporation and, unless such resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock. Any such designated committee may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may require it. In addition to the above such committee or committees shall have such other powers and limitations of authority as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. PROCEDURE; MEETINGS; QUORUM. Any committee designated pursuant to Section 1 of this Article shall choose its own chairman, shall keep regular minutes of its proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when requested, shall fix its own rules or procedures, and shall meet at such times and at such place or places as may be provided by such rules, or by resolution of such committee or resolution of the Board of Directors. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption by it of any resolution. SECTION 3. SUBSTITUTION OF MEMBERS. The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of the absent or disqualified member. Article V OFFICERS SECTION 1. NUMBER, TITLES AND TERM OF OFFICE. The officers of the Corporation shall be a President, one or more Vice Presidents (any one or more of whom may be designated Executive Vice President or Senior Vice President), a Treasurer, a Secretary and, if the Board of Directors so elects, a Chairman of the Board and such other officers as the Board of Directors may from time to time elect or appoint. Each officer shall hold office until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify or until his death or until he shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided.

Any officer or agent elected or appointed by the Board of Directors may be removed, either with or without cause, by the vote of a majority of the whole Board of Directors at a special meeting called for the purpose, or at any regular meeting of the Board of Directors, provided the notice for such meeting shall specify that the matter of any such proposed removal will be considered at the meeting but such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights. SECTION 4. VACANCIES. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the Board of Directors. SECTION 5. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation unless the Board of Directors designates the Chairman of the Board as chief executive officer.

Article VI INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, -11- individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. SECTION 6. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. -12- SECTION 7. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Article VII CAPITAL STOCK SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President shall cause to be issued to each stockholder one or more certificates, under the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof if the Board of Directors shall have provided for such seal, and signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by such stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or ail the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. SECTION 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. -13- SECTION 3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. SECTION 4. REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. SECTION 5. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. CORPORATE SEAL. The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal, containing the name of the Corporation. The Secretary shall have charge of the seal (if any). If and when so directed by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, duplicates of the seal may be kept and used by the Treasurer or by the Assistant Secretary or Assistant Treasurer. SECTION 3. NOTICE AND WAIVER OF NOTICE. Whenever any notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under the provisions of these bylaws, said notice shall be deemed to be sufficient if given (i) by telegraphic, cable or wireless transmission or (ii) by deposit of the same in a post office box in a sealed prepaid wrapper addressed to the person entitled thereto at his post office address, as it appears on the records of the Corporation, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the day of such transmission or mailing, as the case may be. Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. -14- Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors. SECTION 6. RELIANCE UPON BOOKS, REPORTS AND RECORDS. Each director and each member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of account or reports made to the Corporation by any of its officers, or by an independent certified public accountant, or by an appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by any such committee, or in relying in good faith upon other records of the Corporation. Article IX AMENDMENTS If provided in the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall have the power to adopt, amend and repeal from time to time bylaws of the Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to amend or repeal such bylaws as adopted or amended by the Board of Directors. -15-

Crawford, Incorporator -2- STATE OF DELAWARE SECRETARY OF STATE DIVISION OF CORPORATIONS FILED 10:00 AM 12/09/1998 981471718 - 2970532 CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF THE CUTEX COMPANY The Cutex Company, a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"), does hereby certify as follows: FIRST: The Corporation has not received any payment for any of its stock. SECOND: The amendment to the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation set forth in the following resolution was approved by a majority of the Corporation's Board of Directors and was duly adopted in accordance with the provisions of Section 241 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware: "RESOLVED, that the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation be amended by striking Article FOURTH in its entirety and replacing therefor: 'FOURTH: The total number of shares of stock that the Corporation shall have authority to issue is, 3,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of two classes: (i) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share ("Common Stock"), and (ii) 2,000,000 shares of Preferred stock, par value $.01 per share ("Preferred Stock"). The designations and the respective powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions of the Preferred Stock are as follows: 1. Provisions Relating to the Common Stock. (a) DIVIDENDS. Subject to the prior rights and preferences, if any, applicable to shares of the Preferred Stock or any class or series thereof, each share of Common Stock shall entitle the holder of record thereof to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefore, when, as and if declared by the board of directors of the Corporation with respect to any of such class of stock. (b) LIQUIDATION RIGHTS. The holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to participate in the net assets of the Corporation remaining after any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, and after payment or provision for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Corporation and payment of the liquidation preference of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation having such a preference (specifically including the Preferred Stock), distributing such proceeds pro-rata among the holders of Common Stock. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation, a sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets as an entirety, or any purchase or redemption of capital stock of the Corporation of any class, shall not be regarded as "liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation" within the meaning of this Section l(b). (c) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as may otherwise be expressly required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, each share of Series A Common Stock shall entitle the registered holder thereof to one vote on all matters brought before the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote. 2. Provisions Relating to the Preferred Stock. (a) DIVIDENDS. For the purposes of this paragraph (a), each January 1 and July 1 of each year, commencing January 1, 1999, on which any Preferred Stock shall be outstanding shall be deemed to be a "Dividend Date." The holders of shares of Preferred Stock ("Preferred Shares") shall be entitled to receive from and after the date of issuance, if, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative semi-annual dividends at the rate of 8% per annum (for purposes of this Paragraph (a), the "Preferred Dividend Rate") on each Preferred Share and no more, calculated on the Liquidation Preference (as hereinafter defined) on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months plus actual number of days elapsed. Dividends on each Preferred Share shall accumulate, without interest, and be cumulative from and after the date of original issuance of such share. The initial Liquidation Preference per share of Preferred Stock shall be $12.580 per share. On each Dividend Date, the Liquidation Preference shall be increased by adding to the then existing Liquidation Preference the amount of dividends (whether or not declared) accumulated and unpaid since the immediately preceding Dividend Date. To the extent that such accumulated and unpaid dividends have been taken into account to increase the amount of Liquidation Preference on a Dividend Date, such accumulated dividends shall cease to be considered accumulated and unpaid dividends from and after such Dividend Date. When dividends are not paid in full upon all shares of Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Preferred Stock will be declared pro rata so that in all cases the amount of dividends declared per share on the Preferred Stock bear to each other the same ratio that the accumulated dividends per share on the shares of Preferred Stock bear to each other. As long as any shares of Preferred Stock remain outstanding, then: (i) no dividends in cash, stock or other property may be paid or declared and set aside for payment or any other distribution made upon any shares of Common Stock of the Corporation (other than dividends or distributions in Common Stock); and (ii) no shares of Common Stock may be acquired for consideration except by conversion into or exchange for, Common Stock. (b) PREFERENCE ON LIQUIDATION DISSOLUTION OR WINDING UP. During any proceedings for the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution of the assets of the Corporation shall be made in respect of the outstanding Common Stock, an amount in cash for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference, or funds -2- necessary for such payment shall have been set aside in trust for the account of the holders of the outstanding Preferred Stock so as to be and continue available therefor. If upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets distributable to the holders of the Preferred Stock as aforesaid shall be insufficient to permit the payment to them of a per share amount equal to the Liquidation Preference, the assets of the Corporation shall be distributed to the holders of the Preferred Stock ratably until they shall have received the full amount to which they would otherwise be entitled. If the assets of the Corporation are sufficient to permit the payment of such amounts to the holders of the Preferred Stock, the remainder of the assets of the Corporation, if any, after the distributions as aforesaid shall be distributed and divided ratably among the holders of the Common Stock then outstanding. A consolidation or merger of the Corporation, a sale or transfer of substantially all of its assets as an entirety, or any purchase or redemption of capital stock of the Corporation of any class, shall not be regarded as a "liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation" within the meaning of this Section 2(b). (c) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. On the date that either (i) an Initial Public Offering (as defined below) shall have been consummated or (ii) a Major Transaction (as defined below) has occurred, each holder of Preferred Stock shall have the right, at its option, to cause the Corporation to redeem on such date all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder, at a per share redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference, together with all accrued and unpaid dividends through the effective date of redemption. "Major Transaction" means a single transaction involving, or a series of transactions having the cumulative effect of, the sale to a third party not affiliated with or related to either TSG2 L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TSG2"), or TSG3 L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("TSG3"), of all or substantially all of the assets or at least a majority of the Common Stock of the Corporation, or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another corporation or other entity (in each case only if not affiliated with or related to either TSG2 or TSG3) in which the Corporation is not the survivor, or any combination of the foregoing involving the Corporation. If and to the extent that the holders of such Preferred Shares so elect, in connection with any such Major Transaction (collectively, the "Electing Holders"), the Electing Holders shall be entitled to receive, before any distribution of the assets of the Corporation or other payment from a third party in connection with such transaction ("Major Transaction Payments") shall be made in respect of the outstanding Common Stock, an amount in cash for each share of Preferred Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference in connection with the redemption of the Preferred Shares held by the Electing Holders. If the Major Transaction Payments payable with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Electing Holders shall be insufficient to permit the payment to them of a per share amount equal to the Liquidation Preference, such Major Transaction Payments shall be distributed to such holders ratably until they shall have received the full amount to which they would otherwise be entitled. After the payments required to be made to the Preferred Stock have been made in the manner described in this paragraph, the distributions as aforesaid shall be distributed and divided ratably among the holders of Common Stock then outstanding. The term "Initial Public Offering" shall mean the first underwritten public offering (other than an offering of securities to employees of the Corporation) pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the offer and sale of shares of Common Stock which results in the -3- Corporation becoming (or being obligated to become) an entity with a class of equity securities that is the subject of a then effective registration statement pursuant to Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. (d) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as any otherwise be expressly required by the General Corporation Law of Delaware, shares of Preferred Stock shall not entitle the registered holder thereof to vote on any matters brought before the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote." IN WITNESS WHEREOF, The Cutex Company has caused this Certificate to be signed and attested by all of its Initial Directors, this 9th day of December, 1998. THE CUTEX COMPANY /s/ Charles H.

The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock, present in person or represented by proxy, at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VIII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed.

Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.

A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order for each class of stock and showing the address of each such stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of such stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be held. The stock list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present. SECTION 8. PROXIES. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent or dissent to a corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy. Proxies for use at any meeting of stockholders shall be filed with the Secretary, or such other officer as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution, before or at the time of the meeting. All proxies shall be received and taken charge of and all ballots shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of the meeting who shall decide all questions touching upon the qualification of voters, the validity of the proxies, and the acceptance or rejection of votes, unless an inspector or inspectors shall have been appointed by the chairman of the meeting, in which event such inspector or inspectors shall decide all such questions. No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock -3- entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS. The meetings of the stockholders shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or if he is not present, by the President, or if neither the Chairman of the Board (if any), nor President is present, by a chairman elected at the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation, if present, shall act as secretary of such meetings, or if he is not present, an Assistant Secretary shall so act; if neither the Secretary nor an Assistant Secretary is present, then a secretary shall be appointed by the chairman of the meeting. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him in order.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, any action permitted or required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws to be taken at a meeting of stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent shall be given by the Secretary to those stockholders who have not consented in writing. Article III BOARD OF DIRECTORS SECTION 1. POWER; NUMBER; TERM OF OFFICE. The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors, and subject to the restrictions imposed by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, they may exercise all the powers of the Corporation. The number of directors which shall constitute the whole Board of Directors, shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors (provided that no decrease in the number of directors which would have the effect of shortening the term of an incumbent director may be made by the Board of Directors). If the Board of Directors makes no such determination, the number of directors shall be the number set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM.

ACTION WITHOUT A MEETING; TELEPHONE CONFERENCE MEETING. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board of Directors, or any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting, and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the requirement for notice of meetings, members of the Board of Directors, or members of any committee designated by the Board of Directors, may participate in a meeting of such Board of Directors or committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such a meeting shall constitute presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. In addition, any such act or contract may be approved or ratified by the written consent of stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and such consent shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it had been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation. Article IV COMMITTEES SECTION 1. DESIGNATION; POWERS. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole board, designate one or more committees, including, if they shall so -7- determine, an executive committee, each such committee to consist of one or more of the directors of the Corporation. Any such designated committee shall have and may exercise such of the powers and authority of the Board of Directors in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation as may be provided in such resolution, except that no such committee shall have the power or authority of the Board of Directors in reference to amending the Certificate of Incorporation, adopting an agreement of merger or consolidation, recommending to the stockholders the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the Corporation's property and assets, recommending to the stockholders a dissolution of the Corporation or a revocation of a dissolution of the Corporation, or amending, altering or repealing the bylaws or adopting new bylaws for the Corporation and, unless such resolution or the Certificate of Incorporation expressly so provides, no such committee shall have the power or authority to declare a dividend or to authorize the issuance of stock.

Election or appointment of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights. SECTION 4. VACANCIES. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the Board of Directors. SECTION 5. POWERS AND DUTIES OF THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. The President shall be the chief executive officer of the Corporation unless the Board of Directors designates the Chairman of the Board as chief executive officer.

Article VI INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS SECTION 1. RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact that he or she or a person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was or has agreed to become a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving or has agreed to serve at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director or officer or in any other capacity while serving or having agreed to serve as a director or officer, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment) against all expense, liability and loss (including without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection therewith and such indemnification shall continue as to a person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such person to indemnity hereunder and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors and administrators; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Corporation shall indemnify any such person seeking indemnification in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the board of directors of the Corporation. The right to indemnification conferred in this Article VI shall be a contract right and shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Delaware General Corporation Law requires, the payment of such expenses incurred by a current, former or proposed director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer or proposed director or officer (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is or has been agreed to be rendered by such person while a director or officer, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) in advance of the final disposition of a proceeding, shall be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section or otherwise. SECTION 2. INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The Corporation may, by action of its Board of Directors, provide indemnification to employees and agents of the Corporation, -11- individually or as a group, with the same scope and effect as the indemnification of directors and officers provided for in this Article. SECTION 3. RIGHT OF CLAIMANT TO BRING SUIT. If a written claim received by the Corporation from or on behalf of an indemnified party under this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within ninety days after such receipt, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and, if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action (other than an action brought to enforce a claim for expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition where the required undertaking, if any is required, has been tendered to the Corporation) that the claimant has not met the standards of conduct which make it permissible under the Delaware General Corporation Law for the Corporation to indemnify the claimant for the amount claimed, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of the claimant is proper in the circumstances because he or she has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board of Directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the claimant has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that the claimant has not met the applicable standard of conduct. SECTION 4. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. SECTION 5. INSURANCE. The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any person who is or was serving as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Delaware General Corporation Law. SECTION 6. SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this Article VI or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the Corporation shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each director and officer of the Corporation, as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Article VI that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. -12- SECTION 7. DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Article, reference to the "Corporation" shall include, in addition to the Corporation, any constituent corporation (including any constituent of a constituent) absorbed in a consolidation or merger prior to (or, in the case of an entity specifically designated in a resolution of the Board of Directors, after) the adoption hereof and which, if its separate existence had continued, would have had the power and authority to indemnify its directors, officers and employees or agents, so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such constituent corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would have with respect to such constituent corporation if its separate existence had continued. Article VII CAPITAL STOCK SECTION 1. CERTIFICATES OF STOCK. The certificates for shares of the capital stock of the Corporation shall be in such form, not inconsistent with that required by law and the Certificate of Incorporation, as shall be approved by the Board of Directors. The Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President shall cause to be issued to each stockholder one or more certificates, under the seal of the Corporation or a facsimile thereof if the Board of Directors shall have provided for such seal, and signed by the Chairman of the Board (if any), President or a Vice President and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer certifying the number of shares (and, if the stock of the Corporation shall be divided into classes or series, the class and series of such shares) owned by such stockholder in the Corporation; provided, however, that any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be facsimile. The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue. The stock certificates shall be consecutively numbered and shall be entered in the books of the Corporation as they are issued and shall exhibit the holder's name and number of shares. SECTION 2. TRANSFER OF SHARES. The shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable only on the books of the Corporation by the holders thereof in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares. Upon surrender to the Corporation or a transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books. -13- SECTION 3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. The Corporation shall be entitled to treat the holder of record of any share or shares of capital stock of the Corporation as the holder in fact thereof and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of Delaware. SECTION 4. REGULATIONS REGARDING CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such rules and regulations as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration or the replacement of certificates for shares of capital stock of the Corporation. SECTION 5. LOST OR DESTROYED CERTIFICATES. The Board of Directors may determine the conditions upon which a new certificate of stock may be issued in place of a certificate which is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed; and may, in their discretion, require the owner of such certificate or his legal representative to give bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Corporation and each transfer agent and registrar against any and all losses or claims which may arise by reason of the issue of a new certificate in the place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Article VIII MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS SECTION 1. FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year of the Corporation shall be such as established from time to time by the Board of Directors. SECTION 2. CORPORATE SEAL. The Board of Directors may provide a suitable seal, containing the name of the Corporation. The Secretary shall have charge of the seal (if any).

EIGHTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing at least three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the corporation, as the case may be, agree to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of the Corporation, as the case may be, and also on the corporation. NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advance is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise. The Corporation may also indemnify any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law. As used herein, the term "proceeding" means any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative, or investigative, any appeal in such an action, suit, or proceeding, any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such an action, suit, or proceeding. ELEVENTH: No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders or between the Corporation and any person (as used herein, "person" means other corporation, partnership, association, firm, trust, joint venture, political subdivision, or instrumentality) or other organization in which one or more of its directors, officers, or stockholders are directors, officers, or stockholders, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely because his, her, or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the board of directors or the committee, and the board of directors or committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum; or (ii) the material facts as to his or her relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved, or ratified by the board of directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this certificate of incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation.

The stockholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum. Notwithstanding the other provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation or these bylaws, the chairman of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of stockholders, whether or not a quorum is present, shall have the power to adjourn such meeting from time to time, without any notice other than announcement at the meeting of the time and place of the holding of the adjourned meeting; provided, however, if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.

If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

SECTION 6. NOTICE OF MEETINGS. Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.

No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, 3 each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting. Shares registered in the name of another corporation, domestic or foreign, may be voted by such officer, agent or proxy as the bylaw (or comparable instrument) of such corporation may prescribe, or in the absence of such provision, as the Board of Directors (or comparable body) of such corporation may determine. Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof.

Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, cumulative voting for the election of directors shall be prohibited. SECTION 10. CONDUCT OF MEETINGS.

Each director shall hold office for the term for which he is elected, and until his successor shall have been elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, directors need not be stockholders nor residents of the State of Delaware. SECTION 2. QUORUM. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, a majority of the total number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board of Directors and the vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors. SECTION 3. PLACE OF MEETINGS; ORDER OF BUSINESS. The directors may hold their meetings and may have an office and keep the books of the Corporation, except as otherwise provided by law, in such place or places, within or without the State of Delaware, as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine by resolution. At all meetings of the Board of 5 Directors business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by the Chairman of the Board (if any), or in his absence by the President, or by resolution of the Board of Directors.

Any director or the entire Board of Directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares then entitled to vote at an election of directors; provided that, unless the Certificate of Incorporation otherwise provides, if the Board of Directors is classified, then the stockholders may effect such removal only for cause; and provided further that, if the Certificate of Incorporation expressly grants to stockholders the right to cumulate votes for the election of directors and if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against his removal would be sufficient to elect him if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire Board of Directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part. SECTION 8. VACANCIES; INCREASES IN THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS. Unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or a sole remaining director; and any director so chosen shall hold office until the next annual election and until his successor shall be duly elected and shall qualify, unless sooner displaced.

SECTION 11. APPROVAL OR RATIFICATION OF ACTS OR CONTRACTS BY STOCKHOLDERS. The Board of Directors in its discretion may submit any act or contract for approval or ratification at any annual meeting of the stockholders, or at any special meeting of the stockholders called for the purpose of considering any such act or contract, and any act or contract that shall be approved or be ratified by the vote of the stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote and present in person or by proxy at such meeting (provided that a quorum is present), shall be as valid and as binding upon the Corporation and upon all the stockholders as if it has been approved or ratified by every stockholder of the Corporation.

The stock record books and the blank stock certificate books shall be kept by the Secretary, or at the office of such transfer agent or transfer agents as the Board of Directors may from time to time by resolution determine. In case any officer, transfer agent or registrar who shall have signed or whose facsimile signature or signatures shall have been placed upon any such certificate or certificates shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued by the Corporation, such certificate may nevertheless be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if such person were such officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

Whenever notice is required to be given by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or under any of the provisions of these bylaws, a written waiver thereof, signed by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors need be specified in any written waiver of notice unless so required by the Certificate of Incorporation or the bylaws. SECTION 4. RESIGNATIONS. Any director, member of a committee or officer may resign at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the chief executive officer or Secretary. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. SECTION 5. FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. In addition to the provisions for the use of facsimile signatures elsewhere specifically authorized in these bylaws, facsimile signatures of any officer or officers of the Corporation may be used whenever and as authorized by the Board of Directors.

Each director and each member of any committee designated by the Board of Directors shall, in the performance of his duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the books of account or reports made to the Corporation by any of its officers, or by an independent certified public accountant, or by an 12 appraiser selected with reasonable care by the Board of Directors or by any such committee, or in relying in good faith upon other records of the Corporation.

EIGHTH: Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between the Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between the Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of the Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for the Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of the Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs.

NINTH: No director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

TENTH: The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to a proceeding (as hereinafter defined) by reason of the fact that he or she (i) is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or (ii) while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent, or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan, or other enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

Any repeal or amendment of this Article Tenth shall be prospective only and shall not limit the rights of any such director or officer or the obligations of the Corporation with respect to any claim arising from or related to the services of such director or officer in any of the foregoing capacities prior to any such repeal or amendment to this Article Tenth. Such right shall include the right to be paid by the Corporation expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the maximum extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. If a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses hereunder is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, the claimant shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. It shall be a defense to any such action that such indemnification or advancement of costs of defense is not permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law, but the burden of proving such defense shall be on the Corporation. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to have made its determination prior to the commencement of such action that indemnification of, or advancement of costs of defense to, the claimant is permissible in the circumstances nor any actual determination by the Corporation (including its Board or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) that such indemnification or advancement is not permissible shall be a defense to the action or create a presumption that such indemnification or advance is not permissible. In the event of the death of any person having a right of indemnification under the foregoing provisions, such right shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators, and personal representatives. The rights conferred above shall not be exclusive of any other right which any person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, bylaw, resolution of stockholders or directors, agreement, or otherwise. The Corporation may also indemnify any employee or agent of the corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the board of directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or transaction. TWELFTH: The Corporation shall have the right, subject to any express provisions or restrictions contained in this certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Corporation, from time to time, to amend this certificate of incorporation or any provision hereof in any manner now or hereafter provided by law, and all rights and powers of any kind conferred upon a director or stockholder of the Corporation by this certificate of incorporation or any amendment hereof are subject to such right of the Corporation.

If the Board of Directors does not fix a record date for any meeting of the stockholders, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at such meeting shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if in accordance with Article VII, Section 3 of these bylaws notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. If, in accordance with Section 12 of this Article II, corporate action without a meeting of stockholders is to be taken, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to such corporate action in writing, when no prior action by the Board of Directors is necessary, shall be the day on which the first written consent is expressed.

Written notice of the place, date and hour of all meetings, and, in case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be given by or at the direction of the Chairman of the Board (if any) or the President, the Secretary or the other person(s) calling the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote thereat not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting.

No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. Each proxy shall be revocable unless expressly provided therein to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. Should a proxy designate two or more persons to act as proxies, unless such instrument shall provide the contrary, a majority of such persons present at any meeting at which their powers thereunder are to be exercised shall have and may exercise all the powers of voting or giving consents thereby conferred, or if only one be present, then such powers may be exercised by that one; or, if an even number attend and a majority do not agree on any particular issue, each proxy so attending shall be entitled to exercise such powers in respect of the same portion of the shares as he is of the proxies representing such shares. 3 SECTION 9. VOTING; ELECTIONS; INSPECTORS. Unless otherwise required by law or provided in the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall have one vote for each share of stock entitled to vote which is registered in his name on the record date for the meeting.

Shares registered in the name of a deceased person may be voted by his executor or administrator, either in person or by proxy. All voting, except as required by the Certificate of Incorporation or where otherwise required by law, may be by a voice vote; provided, however, that upon demand therefor by stockholders holding a majority of the issued and outstanding stock present in person or by proxy at any meeting a stock vote shall be taken. Every stock vote shall be taken by written ballots, each of which shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as may be required under the procedure established for the meeting. All elections of directors shall be by ballot, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation. At any meeting at which a vote is taken by ballots, the chairman of the meeting may appoint one or more inspectors, each of whom shall subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute faithfully the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his ability. Such inspector shall receive the ballots, count the votes and make and sign a certificate of the result thereof. The chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to serve as inspector, except no candidate for the office of director shall be appointed as an inspector.

First, the holders of the shares of Class L Common Stock (other than shares concurrently being converted into Class A Common Stock), as a single and separate class, shall be entitled to receive all Distributions until there has been paid with respect to each such share from amounts then and previously distributed pursuant to this Section 4.6.1 an amount equal to the Class L Base Amount plus an amount sufficient to generate an internal rate of return thereon equal to eight (8%) per cent per annum, compounded quarterly. Such internal rate of return shall be calculated in accordance with accepted financial practices, treating the Class L Base Amount of each share that is outstanding as of June 25, 2003 as having been paid for on June 25, 2003 and each share that shall be issued after June 25, 2003 as having been paid for on the date on which such share shall have been originally issued by the Corporation, and each Distribution with respect to the Class L Common Stock as having been made on the date it is actually paid by the Corporation. 4.6.2. Second, after the full required amount of Distributions have been made pursuant to Section 4.6.1 above, all holders of the shares of Common Stock, as a single class, shall thereafter be entitled to receive all remaining Distributions pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock; PROVIDED that for purposes of this Section 4.6.2, each share of Class L Common Stock shall be deemed to have been converted into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Constant. 4.6.3. All Distributions pursuant to Sections 4.6.1 and 4.6.2 shall be made ratably among the holders of the class or classes of Common Stock in question, based on the number of shares of such class held by such holders. 4.7. STOCK SPLITS AND STOCK DIVIDENDS. The Corporation shall not in any manner subdivide or increase the number of (by stock split, stock dividend or other similar manner), or combine in any manner, the outstanding shares of Class L Common Stock. The Corporation shall not in any manner subdivide or increase the number of (by stock split, stock dividend or other similar manner), or combine in any manner, the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock unless a proportional adjustment is made to the Class L Conversion Constant. 4.8. Mandatory Conversion of Class L Common Stock. 4.8.1. CONVERSION IN CONNECTION WITH PUBLIC OFFERING. Immediately prior to the Public Offering Time, without any action by the Board of Directors or any stockholder of the Corporation, each outstanding share of Class L Common Stock shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Factor at the time of conversion. -5- 4.8.2. CONVERSION IN CONNECTION WITH A REALIZATION EVENT. At any time, in connection with a Realization Event, upon a vote of the Board of Directors each outstanding share of Class L Common Stock shall automatically convert into a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the Class L Conversion Factor at the time of conversion; and such vote may be taken prior to such Realization Event provided that the effectiveness thereof and the conversion of shares effected thereby are conditioned and made effective upon the occurrence of such Realization Event. 4.8.3. FRACTIONAL SHARES, ETC. Upon conversion under Section 4.8.1 or 4.8.2 above, fractional shares shall be converted into equivalent fractional shares of Class A Common Stock (or, at the discretion of the Board of Directors, eliminated in return for payment therefor in cash at the fair market value thereof, as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors). No Distributions shall be or become payable on any shares of Class L Common Stock pursuant to Section 4.6 of this Article 4 at or following such conversion. From and after such conversion, such shares of Class L Common Stock shall be retired and shall not be reissued, and upon the filing of a certificate in accordance with Section 243 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the authorized shares of Class L Common Stock shall be eliminated. 4.9. EFFECT OF CONVERSION. Upon conversion of any share of Common Stock, the holder shall surrender the certificate evidencing such share to the Corporation at its principal place of business. Promptly after receipt of such certificate, the Corporation shall issue and send to such holder a new certificate, registered in the name of such holder, evidencing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock into which such share has been converted. From and after the time of conversion of any share of Common Stock, the rights of the holder thereof as such shall cease; the certificate formerly evidencing such share shall, until surrendered and reissued as provided above, evidence the applicable number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock; and such holder shall be deemed to have become the holder of record of the applicable number of shares of the applicable class of Common Stock. 4.10. REPLACEMENT. Upon receipt of an affidavit of the registered owner of one or more shares of any class of Common Stock (or such other evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation) with respect to the ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate evidencing such shares of Common Stock, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation (it being understood that if the holder is a Qualified Institutional Investor, or any other holder of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation which is an entity regularly engaged in the business of investing in companies and meets such requirements of creditworthiness as may reasonably be imposed by the Corporation in connection with the provisions of this paragraph, its own agreement will be satisfactory), or, in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, the Corporation shall execute and deliver in lieu of such certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the number of shares of such class represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate. 4.11. NOTICES. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, shall be delivered personally or by first class mail, postage prepaid, and shall be deemed to have been given when -6- so delivered or mailed to the Corporation at its principal executive offices and to any stockholder at such holder's address as it appears in the stock records of the Corporation (unless otherwise specified in a written notice to the Corporation by such holder). 4.12. PROHIBITION ON DISTRIBUTIONS CONSTITUTING TAXABLE EVENTS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 4, the Corporation shall not, without the written approval of the holders of a majority of the shares of Class L Common Stock or, if there is no Class L Common Stock then outstanding, the holders of a majority of the Class L Common Stock at the time such Common Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock, pay any dividend or make any other distribution on any share of capital stock or other security or interest in the Corporation other than Class L Common Stock, or take any other action, so long as any share of Class L Common Stock is outstanding and for three years thereafter, if the effect of such dividend, distribution or action might be to make (a) an increase of the Remaining Class L Minimum Payment Amount, (b) a conversion of the Class L Common Stock into Class A Common Stock or (c) an adjustment of the Class L Conversion Factor a taxable event to the holders of the Class L Common Stock. No amendment to the provisions of this Section 4.12 shall be effective without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class L Common Stock or, if there is no Class L Common Stock then outstanding, the holders of a majority of the Class L Common Stock at the time such Common Stock was converted into Class A Common Stock. 5. The election of directors need not be by ballot unless the Bylaws shall so require. 6. In furtherance and not in limitation of the power conferred upon the Board of Directors by law, the Board of Directors shall have power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal from time to time Bylaws of this Corporation, subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to alter and repeal by-laws made by the Board of Directors. 7.

Such certificate shall be signed by the chairman or vice chairman of the board, if any, or the president or a vice president and by the treasurer or an assistant treasurer or by the secretary or an assistant secretary. Any of or all the signatures on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case an officer, transfer agent, or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or registrar at the time of its issue. b.

TRANSFER OF SHARES OF STOCK a. TRANSFER ON BOOKS. Subject to the restrictions, if any, stated or noted on the stock certificate, shares of stock may be transferred on the books of the corporation by the surrender to the corporation or its transfer agent of the certificate therefor properly endorsed or accompanied by a written assignment and power of attorney properly executed, with necessary transfer stamps affixed, and with such proof of the authenticity of signature as the board of directors or the transfer agent of the corporation may reasonably require.

If no record date has been fixed by the board of directors and prior action by the board of directors is required by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action. In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than sixty days prior to such payment, exercise or other action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto. 9.

If required by the Trustee or the Company, the Holder of such Note shall provide indemnity that is sufficient, in the judgment of the Trustee or the Company, to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer in connection with such replacement. If required by the Company, such Holder shall reimburse the Company for its reasonable expenses in connection with such replacement.

Except as set forth in Section 2.09 hereof, a Note shall not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds the Note; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that Notes held by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company shall be deemed not to be outstanding for purposes of Section 3.07(b) hereof. (b) If a Note is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced note is held by a bona fide purchaser. (c) If the principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it shall cease to be outstanding and interest on it shall cease to accrue. (d) If the Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any thereof) holds, on a redemption date, a Purchase Date (as defined in Section 3.09) or a maturity date, funds sufficient to pay Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue interest. 42 SECTION 2.09. TREASURY NOTES. In determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the Company, or by any Affiliate of the Company, shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Notes that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. SECTION 2.10. TEMPORARY NOTES. Until certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of Definitive Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate Global Notes or Definitive Notes in exchange for temporary Notes, as applicable. After preparation of Definitive Notes, the Temporary Note will be exchangeable for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the Temporary Notes. Holders of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with all other Notes duly issued hereunder. SECTION 2.11. CANCELLATION. The Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. Upon sole direction of the Company, the Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy cancelled Notes (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act or other applicable laws) unless by written order, signed by an Officer of the Company, the Company directs them to be returned to it. Certification of the destruction of all cancelled Notes shall be delivered to the Company from time to time upon request. The Company may not issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 2.12. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST. If the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, it will pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Holders thereof. If the Company pays the defaulted interest prior to 30 days of the default in payment of interest, payment shall be paid to the record Holder of the Notes as of the original record date. If such default in payment of interest continues for 30 days, the Company will, in the case of Definitive Notes, establish a subsequent special record date, which date shall be the fifteenth day next preceding the date fixed by the Company for the payment of defaulted interest. If no special record date is required to be established pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, (i) in the case of Definitive Notes, Holders of record on the original record date shall be entitled to such payment of defaulted interest and any such interest payable on the defaulted interest and (ii) in the case of Global Notes, Holders on the Defaulted Interest Payment Date (as defined in the next sentence) shall be entitled to such defaulted interest and any such interest payable on the defaulted interest. The Company shall notify the Trustee and Paying Agent in writing of the amount of the defaulted interest proposed to be paid on the Notes and the date of the proposed payment (a "DEFAULTED INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or Paying Agent an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such defaulted interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee or Paying Agent for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment. SECTION 2.13. CUSIP OR ISIN NUMBERS. The Company in issuing the Notes may use "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers in notices of redemption or Offers to 43 Purchase as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption or notice of an Offer to Purchase and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption or Offer to Purchase shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" and/or "ISIN" numbers. SECTION 2.14. SPECIAL INTEREST If Special Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement and paragraph 1 of the Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Special Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such interest is payable pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives such a certificate or instruction or direction from the Holders in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no Special Interest is payable. The foregoing shall not prejudice the rights of the Holders with respect to their entitlement to Special Interest as otherwise set forth in this Indenture or the Notes and pursuing any action against the Company directly or otherwise directing the Trustee to take any such action in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes. If the Company has paid Special Interest directly to the Persons entitled to it, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate setting forth the details of such payment. SECTION 2.15. ISSUANCE OF ADDITIONAL NOTES The Company shall be entitled, subject to its compliance with Section 4.09 hereof, to issue Additional Notes under this Indenture which shall have identical terms as the Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, other than with respect to the date of issuance, issue price and rights under a related Registration Rights Agreement, if any. The Initial Notes issued on the date hereof, any Additional Notes and all Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor shall be treated as a single class for all purposes under this Indenture, including directions, waivers, amendments, consents, redemptions and Offers to Purchase. With respect to any Additional Notes, the Company shall set forth in a Board Resolution and an Officers' Certificate, a copy of each of which shall be delivered to the Trustee, the following information: (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Additional Notes to be authenticated and delivered pursuant to this Indenture; (b) the issue price, the issue date and the CUSIP and/or ISIN number of such Additional Notes; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no Additional Notes may be issued at a price that would cause such Additional Notes to have "original issue discount" within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code, other than a DE MINIMIS original issue discount within the meaning of Section 1273 of the Code; and (c) whether such Additional Notes shall be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in Section 2.06 hereof relating to Restricted Global Notes and Restricted Definitive Notes. SECTION 2.16. RECORD DATE. The record date for purposes of determining the identity of Holders of Notes entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent or permitted under this Indenture shall be determined as provided for in TIA Section 316(c).

In the event of partial redemption by lot, the particular Notes to be redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the outstanding Notes not previously called for redemption. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes and portions of Notes selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof; except that if all of the Notes of a Holder are to be redeemed, the entire outstanding amount of Notes held by such Holder, even if not an integral multiple of $1,000, shall be redeemed. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes called for redemption also apply to portions of Notes called for redemption. SECTION 3.03.

SECTION 3.04. EFFECT OF NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

(d) Pending the final application of any such Net Available Cash, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest such Net Available Cash in any manner that is not prohibited by this Indenture. (e) Any Net Available Cash from an Asset Sale not applied in accordance with the preceding paragraph within 365 days from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash or that is not segregated from the general funds of the Company for investment in identified Additional Assets in respect of a project that shall have been commenced, and for which binding contractual commitments have been entered into, prior to the end of such 365-day period and that shall not have been completed or abandoned shall constitute "Excess Proceeds;" PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that ceases to be so segregated as contemplated above and any Net Available Cash that is segregated in respect of a project that is abandoned or completed shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds" at the time any such Net Available Cash ceases to be so segregated or at the time the relevant project is so abandoned or completed, as applicable; PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that the amount of any Net Available Cash that continues to be segregated for investment in identified Additional Assets and that is not actually so invested within twelve months from the date of the receipt of such Net Available Cash shall also constitute "Excess Proceeds."

(f) The Company shall comply, to the extent applicable, with the requirements of Section 14(e) of the Exchange Act and any other securities laws or regulations in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to this Section 4.12. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with provisions of this Section 4.12, the Company shall comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under this Section 4.12 by virtue thereof.

SECTION 4.16. LIMITATION ON LAYERED DEBT.

Upon designation of a Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with this Section 4.17, such Restricted Subsidiary shall, by execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture in form satisfactory to the Trustee, be released from any Guarantee previously made by such Restricted Subsidiary. (d) The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if, immediately after giving pro forma effect to such designation, (i) the Company could Incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt pursuant to Section 4.09(a); and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would result therefrom. 63 Any such designation or redesignation by the Board of Directors will be evidenced to the Trustee by filing with the Trustee a Board Resolution giving effect to such designation or redesignation and an Officers' Certificate that: (a) certifies that such designation or redesignation complies with the foregoing provisions, and (b) gives the effective date of such designation or redesignation; such filing with the Trustee to occur within 45 days after the end of the fiscal quarter of the Company in which such designation or redesignation is made (or, in the case of a designation or redesignation made during the last fiscal quarter of the Company's fiscal year, within 90 days after the end of such fiscal year).

In the event of a declaration of acceleration of the Notes because an Event of Default described in Section 6.01(e) above has occurred and is continuing, the declaration of acceleration of the Notes shall be automatically annulled if the event of default or payment default triggering such Event of Default shall be remedied or cured by the Parent or a Restricted Subsidiary or waived by the holders of the relevant Debt within 30 days after the declaration of acceleration with respect thereto and if (1) the annulment of the acceleration of the Notes would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) all existing Events of Default, except non-payment of principal, premium or interest on the Notes that became due solely because of the acceleration of the Notes have been cured or waived.

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee 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 Indenture. The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder 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 shall be cumulative to the extent permitted by law. SECTION 6.04. WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. (a) The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes, waive any existing Default or Event of Default, and its consequences, except a continuing Default or Event of Default (i) in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment. Upon any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of 68 Default arising therefrom shall be deemed cured for every purpose of this Indenture but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 6.05. CONTROL BY MAJORITY. Subject to Section 7.01, Section 7.02(f) (including the Trustee's receipt of the security or indemnification described therein) and Section 7.07 hereof, in case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes. SECTION 6.06. LIMITATION ON SUITS. No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy thereunder, unless: (a) such Holder has previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default or the Trustee receives the notice from the Company, (b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding have made written request and offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and (c) the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such proceeding within 60 days. The preceding limitations shall not apply to a suit instituted by a Holder for enforcement of payment of principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, a Note on or after the respective due dates for such payments set forth in such Note. A Holder may not use this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of another Holder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder. SECTION 6.07. RIGHTS OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PAYMENT. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture (including Section 6.06), the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes held by such Holder, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Notes (including in connection with an offer to purchase), 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.

SECTION 6.09. TRUSTEE MAY FILE PROOFS OF CLAIM.

To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, moneys, securities and any other properties that the Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. SECTION 6.10. PRIORITIES.

This Section 6.11 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by the Company, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. ARTICLE 7. TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01.

SECTION 7.05. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the Holders. SECTION 7.06. REPORTS BY TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the Trustee shall mail to the Holders a brief report dated as of such reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the reporting date, no report need be transmitted).

The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange and any delisting thereof. 72 SECTION 7.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and services hereunder. The Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel. The Company shall indemnify the Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) or any predecessor Trustee (in its capacity as Trustee) against any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, fines, liabilities or expenses, including incidental and out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees (for purposes of this Article, "LOSSES") incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to the extent such losses may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations under this Section 7.07, to the extent the Company has been prejudiced thereby. The Company shall defend the claim, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel if the Trustee has been reasonably advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Company and in the reasonable judgment of such counsel it is advisable for the Trustee to engage separate counsel, and the Company shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the resignation or removal of the Trustee and payment in full of the Notes through the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. To secure the Company's payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, premium, if any, and interest on particular Notes. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(h) or (i) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. SECTION 7.08. REPLACEMENT OF TRUSTEE. A resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee's acceptance of appointment as provided in this Section 7.08. The Trustee may resign in writing at any time upon 30 days' prior notice to the Company and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may remove the Trustee by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if: (a) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof; (b) the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law; 73 (c) a custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or (d) the Trustee becomes incapable of acting. If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of at least 10% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. If the Trustee, after written request by any Holder who has been a Holder for at least six months, fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof, such Holder may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders. Subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof, the retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder shall have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company's obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. In the case of an appointment hereunder of a separate or successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Company, the Guarantors, any retiring Trustee and each successor or separate Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an Indenture supplemental hereto (1) which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of any retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes as to which any such retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in such retiring Trustee and (2) that shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee co-trustees of the same trust and that each such separate, retiring or successor Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any such other Trustee. SECTION 7.09. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE BY MERGER, ETC. If the Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation or banking association, the successor corporation or banking association without any further act shall, if such successor corporation or banking association is otherwise eligible hereunder, be the successor Trustee. SECTION 7.10. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trustee power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million (or a wholly-owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company, or of a bank holding company, the principal subsidiary of which is a bank or trust company having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50.0 million) as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition. 74 This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 310(b). SECTION 7.11. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY. The Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein. ARTICLE 8. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE SECTION 8.01. OPTION TO EFFECT LEGAL DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have either Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof be applied to all outstanding Notes upon compliance with the conditions set forth in this Article 8. SECTION 8.02. LEGAL DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.02, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to all outstanding Notes on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "LEGAL DEFEASANCE") and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee. For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Notes, which shall thereafter be deemed to be "outstanding" only for the purposes of Section 8.05 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all its other obligations under the Notes and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.04, and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company's obligations with respect to such Notes under Article 2 and Sections 4.01 and 4.02, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the Company's obligations in connection therewith and (d) this Article 8. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.02, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default. Subject to compliance with this Article 8, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 8.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 8.03. SECTION 8.03. COVENANT DEFEASANCE. Upon the Company's exercise under Section 8.01 of the option applicable to this Section 8.03, the Company shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, be released from its obligations under the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.09 through 4.16, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof, and the operation of Sections 5.01(a)(v) and (b)(v), with respect to the outstanding Notes on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter, "COVENANT DEFEASANCE") and each Guarantor shall be released from all of its obligations under its Guarantee with respect to such covenants in connection with such outstanding Notes and the 75 Notes shall thereafter be deemed not "outstanding" for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed "outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 6.01, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. If the Company exercises under Section 8.01 the option applicable to this Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04, payment of the Notes may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in clause (d) (with respect to the covenants contained in Sections 4.03, 4.09 through 4.16, 4.18 and 4.19 hereof), (e), (f), (g), (h) and (i) (but in the case of (h) and (i) of Section 6.01, with respect to Significant Restricted Subsidiaries only) or because of the Company's or the Parent's failure to comply with clauses (a)(v) and (b)(v) of Section 5.01. SECTION 8.04. CONDITIONS TO LEGAL OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE. The following shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 8.02 or 8.03 to the outstanding Notes. The Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance may be exercised only if: (a) the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee, in trust (the "DEFEASANCE TRUST"), for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, in an amount sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the outstanding Notes on the Stated Maturity or on the next redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company shall specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to such particular redemption date; (b) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) subsequent to the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred; (c) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred; (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of deposit and after giving effect thereto (other than a Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit); (e) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is bound; (f) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the trust resulting from the deposit does not constitute, or is qualified as, a regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940; 76 (g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the holders of the Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and (h) the Company delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. SECTION 8.05. DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 8.06, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the "TRUSTEE") pursuant to Section 8.04 in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the outstanding Notes. Anything in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 8.04 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the certification delivered under Section 8.04(a)), are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. SECTION 8.06. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. The Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, no later than five (5) Business Days, pay to the Company after request therefor, any excess money held with respect to the Notes at such time in excess of amounts required to pay any of the Company's Obligations then owing with respect to the Notes. Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal, premium, if any, or interest on any Note and remaining unclaimed for one year after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. SECTION 8.07. REINSTATEMENT. If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company's 77 obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such cash and securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03, as the case may be; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders to receive such payment from the cash and securities held by the Trustee or Paying Agent. ARTICLE 9. AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER SECTION 9.01. WITHOUT CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. Notwithstanding Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees without the consent of any Holder to: (a) cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in any manner that is not adverse in any material respect to any Holder of the Notes; (b) provide for the assumption by a Surviving Person of the obligations of the Parent or the Company under this Indenture, the Notes and the Guarantees; (c) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (PROVIDED that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code); (d) add additional Guarantees or additional obligors with respect to the Notes or release, terminate or discharge Guarantors from Guarantees as permitted by the terms of this Indenture; (e) secure the Notes; (f) add to the covenants of the Parent and the Company for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Parent or the Company; (g) make any change that does not adversely affect the legal rights hereunder of any Holder of the Notes; (h) make any change to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would limit or terminate the benefits available to any holder of Senior Debt under such provisions; (i) to comply with any requirement of the Commission in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA; or (j) add a co-issuer of the Notes as contemplated under Section 5.01(a)(i); (k) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with this Indenture; or (l) to conform the text of this Indenture or the Notes to any provision of the "Description of the Notes" section of the offering memorandum, dated as of March 30, 2004, relating to the sale of the Initial Notes, to the extent that such provision was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of this Indenture or the Notes. No amendment may be made to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that adversely affects the rights of any holder of Senior Debt then outstanding unless the holders of such Senior Debt (or their Representative) consent to such change. 78 SECTION 9.02. WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS OF NOTES. Except as provided below in this Section 9.02, the Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes, including Additional Notes, if any, then outstanding voting as a single class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes), and, subject to Sections 6.04 and 6.07, may waive any existing Default or Event of Default (except a continuing Default or Event of Default in (i) the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes and (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision which under this Indenture cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected by such modification or amendment) or compliance with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes. Without the consent of each Holder, an amendment or waiver under this Section 9.02 may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder): (a) reduce the amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or waiver; (b) reduce the rate of, or extend the time for payment of, interest, if any, on, any Note; (c) reduce the principal of, or extend the Stated Maturity of, any Note; (d) make any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Note; (e) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, 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 or any Guarantee; (f) reduce the premium payable upon the redemption of any Note or change the time at which any Note may be redeemed, as described under Section 3.07; (g) reduce the premium payable upon a Change of Control or, at any time after a Change of Control has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; (h) at any time after the Company is obligated to make a Prepayment Offer with the Excess Proceeds from Asset Sales, change the time at which such Prepayment Offer must be made or at which the Notes must be repurchased pursuant thereto; (i) make any change to the subordination provisions of this Indenture that would adversely affect the Holders of the Notes; or (j) make any change in any Guarantee that would adversely affect the Holders. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any supplemental indenture. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; PROVIDED that unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 120 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be cancelled and of no further effect. It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. 79 After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.02 becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder of each Note affected thereby to such Holder's address appearing in the Security Register a notice briefly describing the amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental indenture or waiver. SECTION 9.03. COMPLIANCE WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment or supplement to this Indenture or the Notes shall be set forth in an amended or supplemental indenture that complies with the TIA as then in effect. SECTION 9.04. REVOCATION AND EFFECT OF CONSENTS. Until an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, a consent to it by a Holder is a continuing consent by the Holder of a Note and every subsequent Holder of a Note or portion thereof 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 or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Note or portion thereof if the Trustee receives written notice of revocation before the date the waiver, supplement or amendment becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver shall become effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter shall bind every Holder. SECTION 9.05. NOTATION ON OR EXCHANGE OF NOTES. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment, supplement or waiver on any Note thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for all Notes may issue and, upon receipt of an Authentication Order in accordance with Section 2.02 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate new Notes that reflect the amendment, supplement or waiver. Failure to make the appropriate notation or issue a new Note shall not affect the validity and effect of such amendment, supplement or waiver. SECTION 9.06. TRUSTEE TO SIGN AMENDMENTS, ETC. The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article 9 if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. Neither the Company nor any Guarantor may sign an amendment or supplemental indenture until its board of directors (or committee serving a similar function) approves it. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 7.01 hereof) shall be fully protected in relying upon an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that such amended or supplemental indenture is the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to customary exceptions and that such amended or supplemental indenture complies with the provisions hereof (including Section 9.03). ARTICLE 10. GUARANTEES SECTION 10.01. GUARANTEE. Subject to this Article 10, the Guarantors hereby unconditionally guarantee to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns: (a) the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes, subject to any applicable grace period, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and premium, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest, and the due 80 and punctual performance of all other obligations of the Company to the Holders or the Trustee under this Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement or any other agreement with or for the benefit of the Holders or the Trustee, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) 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 pursuant to Section 6.02, redemption or otherwise. Failing payment 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. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to its Guarantee shall be joint and several, unconditional, irrespective of the validity or enforceability of the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, the recovery of any judgment against the Company or any other obligor with respect to this Indenture, the Notes or the Obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances (other than complete performance) which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor further, to the extent permitted by law, waives and relinquishes all claims, rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any such claims, rights or remedies, including but not limited to: (a) any right to require any of the Trustee, the Holders or the Company (each a "BENEFITED PARTY"), as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (1) proceed against the Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any other Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (3) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Benefited Party in favor of the Company or any other Person, or (4) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Benefited Party whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Company including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Company from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations under the Guarantees; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Benefited Party's errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations under the Guarantees, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e)(1) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of the Guarantees and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor's obligations hereunder, (2) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (3) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims and (4) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Benefited Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentations, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance of the Guarantees, notices of Default under the Notes or any agreement or instrument related thereto, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Obligations under the Guarantees or any agreement related thereto, and notices of any extension of credit to the Company and any right to consent to any thereof; (g) to the extent permitted under applicable law, the benefits of any "One Action" rule and (h) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of the Guarantees. Except to the extent expressly provided herein, including Sections 8.02, 8.03 and 10.05, each Guarantor hereby covenants that its Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in its Guarantee and this Indenture. If any Holder or the Trustee 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 either the Company or the Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. 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 and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 hereof for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such 81 acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this 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 Guarantee. The other Guarantors' shares of such contribution payment will be computed based on the proportion that the net worth of the relevant Guarantor represents relative to the aggregate net worth of all of the Guarantors combined. SECTION 10.02. LIMITATION ON GUARANTOR LIABILITY. (a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance 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 guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that each Guarantor's liability shall be that amount from time to time equal to the aggregate liability of such Guarantor under the guarantee, but shall be limited to the lesser of (a) the aggregate amount of the Company's obligations under the Notes and this Indenture or (b) the amount, if any, which would not have (1) rendered the Guarantor "insolvent" (as such term is defined in Bankruptcy Law and in the Debtor and Creditor Law of the State of New York) or (2) left it with unreasonably small capital at the time its guarantee with respect to the Notes was entered into, after giving effect to the incurrence of existing Debt immediately before such time; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, it shall be a presumption in any lawsuit or proceeding in which a Guarantor is a party that the amount guaranteed pursuant to the guarantee with respect to the Notes is the amount described in clause (a) above unless any creditor, or representative of creditors of the Guarantor, or debtor in possession or Trustee in bankruptcy of the Guarantor, otherwise proves in a lawsuit that the aggregate liability of the Guarantor is limited to the amount described in clause (b). (b) In making any determination as to the solvency or sufficiency of capital of a Guarantor in accordance with this Section 10.02, the right of each Guarantor to contribution from other Guarantors and any other rights such Guarantor may have, contractual or otherwise, shall be taken into account. SECTION 10.03. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF GUARANTEE. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee in substantially the form included in Exhibit E attached hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer or one of its Vice Presidents. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of such Guarantee. If an Officer whose signature is on this Indenture or on the Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantors. The Company hereby agrees that it shall cause each Person that becomes obligated to provide a Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.19 to execute a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Person provides the guarantee set forth in this Article 10 and otherwise assumes the obligations and accepts the rights of a Guarantor under this Indenture, in each case with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor. The Company also hereby agrees to cause each such new Guarantor to evidence its guarantee by endorsing a notation of such guarantee on each Note as provided in this Section 10.03. 82 SECTION 10.04. GUARANTORS MAY CONSOLIDATE, ETC., ON CERTAIN TERMS. Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.05, no Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the Surviving Person) another Person whether or not affiliated with such Guarantor unless: (a) subject to Section 10.05, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than a Guarantor or the Company) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor, pursuant to a supplemental indenture in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, under this Indenture, the Guarantee and any Registration Rights Agreements on the terms set forth herein or therein; and (b) the Guarantor complies with the requirements of Article 5 hereof. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee. All the Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and (b) above, nothing contained in this Indenture or in any of the Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company or another Guarantor, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company or another Guarantor. SECTION 10.05. RELEASES FOLLOWING MERGER, CONSOLIDATION OR SALE OF ASSETS, ETC.. In the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions) a Subsidiary of the Parent, then such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital Stock of such Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor) shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee; PROVIDED that the net proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.12. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.17, such Subsidiary shall be released and relieved of any obligations under its Guarantee. Upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Company or Parent in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.12, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Indenture as provided in this Article 10. ARTICLE 11. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE 83 SECTION 11.01. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE. This Indenture shall be discharged and shall cease to be of further effect, except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of the Notes, as to all Notes issued hereunder, when: (a) either: (i) all Notes that have been previously authenticated and delivered (except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes that have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has previously been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and is thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from the trust) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (ii) all Notes that have not been previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by their terms within one year or have been called for redemption, and the Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as shall be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire Debt on the Notes not previously delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or redemption for principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes to the date of deposit, in the case of Notes that have become due and payable, or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date, as the case may be. (b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other material instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company or any Guarantor is bound; (c) the Company has paid all other sums payable by the Company with respect to the Notes under this Indenture; and (d) the Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at Stated Maturity or on the redemption date. In addition, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been satisfied. SECTION 11.02. DEPOSITED CASH AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. Subject to Section 11.03, all cash and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 11.02, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 11.01 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest but such cash and securities need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. SECTION 11.03. REPAYMENT TO COMPANY. Any cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder shall thereafter, as an unsecured creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, 84 and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such cash and securities, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (national edition), notice that such cash and securities remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such cash and securities then remaining shall be repaid to the Company. ARTICLE 12. SUBORDINATION SECTION 12.01. AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Note agrees, that the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, and all other amounts payable in respect of, the Notes and payment under any Guarantee is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 12 and subject to the provisions of Article 8 hereof, to the payment when due in cash of all Senior Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of such Senior Debt. The Notes and Guarantees shall in all respects rank pari passu with any future Senior Subordinated Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, and senior to all existing and future Subordinated Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be, and only Senior Debt shall rank senior to the Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article 12 shall be subject to Section 12.12. All references to "Senior Debt" in this Article 12 are to Senior Debt of the Company or the relevant Guarantor, as the case may be. SECTION 12.02. LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, BANKRUPTCY (a) Upon any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company or the relevant Guarantor to creditors upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or the relevant Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or the relevant Guarantor or its or their property or upon an assignment for the benefit of the Company's or the relevant Guarantor's creditors or the marshaling of its or their assets and liabilities, the holders of Senior Debt will be entitled to receive payment in full in cash before the Holders of the Notes are entitled to receive any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, including on, the Notes, except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain such payments made in Permitted Junior Securities and payments from the trust described in Article 8 hereof. (b) Until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which Holders of the Notes would be entitled but for this Article 12 will be made to holders of the Senior Debt as their interests may appear (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain payments made in Permitted Junior Securities and payments and other distributions made from the trust described in Article 8 hereof; provided that (i) no Holder of the Notes shall have the right to receive and retain any such Permitted Junior Securities if the existence of such right would have the effect of causing the Notes to be treated in the same class of claims as the Senior Debt of the Company or any class of claims which is pari passu with such Senior Debt and (ii) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive any cash payments made to any Holder of Notes on the account of Permitted Junior Securities until all Obligations in respect of Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash). SECTION 12.03. DEFAULT ON SENIOR DEBT The Company may not pay (except in Permitted Junior Securities or from the trust described in Article 8 hereof) principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Notes, or make any deposit in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.04, and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Notes (collectively, "PAY THE NOTES") if (a) any principal, premium, interest or any other amount payable in respect of any Senior Debt is not paid within any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or (b) any other default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (1) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or (2) such Senior Debt has been paid in full in 85 cash; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Notes without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written notice approving such payment from the Representative of the holders of such Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, from the holders of such Senior Debt. During the continuance of any default (other than a default described in clause (a) or (b) of the preceding sentence) with respect to any Designated Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except any notice required to effect the acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace period, the Company may not pay the Notes for a period (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE PERIOD") commencing upon the receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice of such default from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, from the holders of such Designated Senior Debt, specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a "PAYMENT BLOCKAGE NOTICE") and ending 179 days thereafter (unless such Payment Blockage Period is earlier terminated by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, from the holders of such Designated Senior Debt that gave such Payment Blockage Notice because (a) such default is no longer continuing or (b) because such Designated Senior Debt has been repaid in full in cash). Not more than one Payment Blockage Notice with respect to all issues of Designated Senior Debt may be given in any consecutive 360-day period, irrespective of the number of defaults with respect to one or more issues of Designated Senior Debt during such period. No non-payment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice. Following the expiration of any Payment Blockage Period, the Company shall (unless otherwise prohibited as described in the first two sentences of this paragraph) resume making any and all required payments in respect of the Notes, including, without limitation, any missed payments, unless the maturity of any Designated Senior Debt has been accelerated, and such acceleration remains in full force and effect. If any Payment Blockage Notice is delivered to the Trustee by or on behalf of the holders of Designated Senior Debt (other than the holders of Debt under the Senior Credit Facility), a Representative of holders of Debt under the Senior Credit Facility may still give another Payment Blockage Notice within the same period. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any default in the payment of any Senior Debt or any acceleration under any Senior Debt or under any agreement pursuant to which Senior Debt may have been issued. Failure to give such notice shall not effect the subordination of the Notes to the Senior Debt or the application of the other provisions provided in this Article 12. SECTION 12.04. ACCELERATION OF PAYMENT OF SECURITIES. If payment of the Notes is accelerated when Designated Senior Debt is outstanding, the Company may not pay the Notes until three Business Days after the Representative of the holders of such Designated Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, the holders of such Designated Senior Debt receive notice of such acceleration and, thereafter, may pay the Notes only if this Indenture otherwise permits payment at that time. SECTION 12.05. WHEN DISTRIBUTION MUST BE PAID OVER. If a payment or distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article 12 should not have been made to them, the Trustee or the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust for holders of Senior Debt (pro rata as to each of such holders of Senior Debt on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior Debt paid to them) and pay it over to them or their Representative as their interests may appear. SECTION 12.06. SUBROGATION After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Notes are paid in full, Holders shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Debt that is pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article 12 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on such Senior Debt. 86 SECTION 12.07. RELATIVE RIGHTS This Article 12 defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall: (a) impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the Notes in accordance with their terms; (b) affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other then their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or (c) prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders. SECTION 12.08. SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED BY COMPANY No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the Debt 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 Indenture. SECTION 12.09. RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT Notwithstanding Section 12.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent 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 such payments unless, not less than two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made under this Article 12. The Company, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Debt may give the notice; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if an issue of Senior Debt has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 12 with respect to any Senior Debt that may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Debt; and nothing in Article 7 shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 12 shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07. SECTION 12.10. DISTRIBUTION OR NOTICE TO REPRESENTATIVE Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representative (if any). SECTION 12.11. ARTICLE 12 NOT TO PREVENT EVENTS OF DEFAULT OR LIMIT RIGHT TO ACCELERATE Nothing in this Article 12 shall prevent an Event of Default in accordance with Article 6 or have any effect on the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Notes or to exercise the rights and remedies in Article 6. SECTION 12.12. TRUST MONEYS NOT SUBORDINATED Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from cash or the proceeds of non-callable U.S. Government Securities held in trust under Article 8 by the Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes shall not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Debt or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article 12, and none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior Debt or any other creditor of the Company. 87 SECTION 12.13. TRUSTEE ENTITLED TO RELY Upon any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely (a) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 12.02 are pending, (b) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders or (c) upon a certificate of the Representative of the holders of Senior Debt or, if there is no Representative, the holders of Senior Debt for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other Debt 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 12. In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 12, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Debt held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article 12, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Section 7.01 and 7.02 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 12. SECTION 12.14. TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION Each Holder by accepting a Note authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Debt as provided in this Article 12 and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. SECTION 12.15. TRUSTEE NOT FIDUCIARY FOR HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Company or any other Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article 12 or otherwise, except if such mistake was the result of the Trustee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. SECTION 12.16. RELIANCE BY HOLDERS OF SENIOR DEBT ON SUBORDINATION PROVISIONS 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 Debt, whether such Senior Debt 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 Debt and such holder of such Senior Debt shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior Debt.

INTEREST. Prestige Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 9 1/4% per annum until maturity and shall pay Special Interest, if any, as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Company shall pay interest semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each an "INTEREST PAYMENT DATE"). Interest on the Notes shall accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of issuance; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the first Interest Payment Date shall be October 15, 2004. The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest and Special Interest, if any (without regard to any applicable grace periods), from time to time at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company shall pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are cancelled after such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest.

The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms.

Accordingly, each Holder participating in the Registered Exchange Offer shall be required to represent to the Company that, at the time of the consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer: (i) any New Securities received by such Holder will be acquired in the ordinary course of business; (ii) such Holder will have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Securities or the New Securities within the meaning of the Act; and (iii) such Holder is not an Affiliate of the Company or any of the Guarantors.

(b) (i) The Company and the Guarantors shall as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than 90 days after so required or requested pursuant to this Section 3), file with the Commission and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective under the Act within 90 days after so required or requested, a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Securities or the New Securities, as applicable, by the Holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Holders and set forth in such Shelf Registration Statement; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing in this Section 3(b) shall require the filing of a Shelf Registration Statement prior to the deadline for filing an Exchange Offer Registration Statement as set forth in Section 2(a); PROVIDED, FURTHER, HOWEVER, that no Holder (other than an Initial Purchaser) shall be entitled to have the Securities held by it covered by such Shelf Registration Statement unless such Holder agrees in writing to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Holder; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that with respect to New Securities received by an Initial Purchaser in exchange for Securities constituting any portion of an unsold allotment, the Company and the Guarantors may, if permitted by current interpretations by the Commission's staff, file a post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement containing the information required by Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as applicable, in satisfaction of its obligations under this subsection with respect thereto, and any such Exchange Offer Registration Statement, as so amended, shall be referred to herein as, and governed by the provisions herein applicable to, a Shelf Registration Statement.

The Company and the Guarantors shall not be obligated to amend or supplement any Shelf Registration Statement more than once per calendar quarter to reflect additional Holders. The Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed not to have used their respective best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if they voluntarily take any action that would result in Holders of Securities covered thereby not being able to offer and sell such Securities at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, unless such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise undertaken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company's obligations hereunder), including the 7 acquisition or divestiture of assets, and (y) permitted pursuant to Section 4(k)(ii) hereof.

(e) The Company and the Guarantors shall furnish to each selling Holder of Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, at least one copy of such Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, without any material incorporated therein by reference or all exhibits thereto unless requested by such Holder. 9 (f) The Company and the Guarantors shall, during the Shelf Registration Period, deliver to each selling Holder of Securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including the preliminary Prospectus) included in such Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement thereto as such Holder may reasonably request.

The Company and the Guarantors may exclude from such Shelf Registration Statement the Securities of any Holder that fails to furnish such information within a reasonable time after receiving such request. (p) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall enter into customary agreements (including, if requested by the Majority Holders, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Securities, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain indemnification provisions and procedures no less favorable than those set forth in Section 6 hereof. (q) In the case of any Shelf Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall, if requested: (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the selling Holders of Securities to be registered thereunder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the selling Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries; PROVIDED that if such information is deemed confidential by the Company or the Guarantors, each Person receiving such information shall take all actions reasonably necessary to protect such confidentiality; (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the selling Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; (iii) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, make such representations and warranties to the selling Holders of Securities registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (iv) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and the Guarantors and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings 12 and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters; (v) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, obtain "comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of Securities registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and (vi) in connection with an underwritten offering pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement, deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders or the Managing Underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company and the Guarantors. The actions set forth in clauses (iii), (v) and (vi) of this paragraph (q) shall be performed at the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and each post-effective amendment thereto. The actions set forth in clause (iv) shall be performed at, and the actions set forth in clauses (iii), (v) and (vi) shall be reaffirmed at, each closing under any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder. (r) In the case of any Exchange Offer Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall, if requested by an Initial Purchaser, or by a broker dealer that holds Securities that were acquired as a result of market making or other trading activities: (i) make reasonably available for inspection by the requesting party, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the requesting party, all relevant financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries; PROVIDED that if such information is deemed confidential by the Company or the Guarantors, each Person receiving such information shall take all actions reasonably necessary to protect such confidentiality; (ii) cause the Company's officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the requesting party or any such attorney, accountant or agent in connection with any such Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; (iii) make such representations and warranties to the requesting party, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters 13 in primary underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement; (iv) obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the requesting party and its counsel, addressed to the requesting party, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the requesting party or its counsel; (v) obtain "comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Registration Statement), addressed to the requesting party, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings, or if requested by the requesting party or its counsel in lieu of a "comfort" letter, an agreed-upon procedures letter under Statement on Auditing Standards No. 35, covering matters requested by the requesting party or its counsel; and (vi) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the requesting party or its counsel, including those to evidence compliance with Section 4(k) and with conditions customarily contained in underwriting agreements. The foregoing actions set forth in clauses (iii), (iv), (v), and (vi) of this Section shall be performed at the close of the Registered Exchange Offer and the effective date of any post-effective amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. (s) If a Registered Exchange Offer is to be consummated, upon delivery of the Securities by Holders to the Company (or to such other person as directed by the Company) in exchange for the New Securities, the Company shall mark, or caused to be marked, on the Securities so exchanged that such Securities are being cancelled in exchange for the New Securities. In no event shall the Securities be marked as paid or otherwise satisfied. (t) The Company and the Guarantors shall use their respective reasonable best efforts if the Securities have been rated prior to the initial sale of such Securities, to confirm such ratings will apply to the Securities or the New Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration Statement. (u) In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any Securities or participate as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group or "assist in the distribution" (within the meaning of the NASD Rules) thereof, whether as a Holder of such Securities or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect 14 thereof, or otherwise, the Company and the Guarantors shall assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the NASD Rules. (v) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Securities or the New Securities, as the case may be, covered by a Registration Statement. 5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. The Company shall bear all reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Sections 2, 3 and 4 hereof and, in the event of any Shelf Registration Statement, will reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which shall initially be Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP, but which may be another nationally recognized law firm experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith. 6. INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION. (a) The Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser and, with respect to any Prospectus delivery as contemplated in Section 4(h) hereof, each Exchanging Dealer, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer and each person who controls any such Holder, Initial Purchaser or Exchanging Dealer within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company and the Guarantors by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Guarantors may otherwise have. The Company and the Guarantors also, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify as provided in this Section 6(a) or contribute as provided in Section 6(d) hereof to Losses of each underwriter, if any, of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, registered under a Shelf Registration Statement, their directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of 15 the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 6(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 4(p) hereof. (b) Each Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser that is a Holder, in such capacity) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Guarantors, each of their directors, each of their officers who signs such Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Guarantors to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company or any of the Guarantors by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any such Holder may otherwise have. (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 or notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) above unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure materially prejudices the indemnifying party; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) above. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party's choice at the indemnifying party's expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party's election to appoint counsel (which shall be one firm and any necessary local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. It is understood, however, that the Company shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such indemnified parties, which 16 firm, if the indemnifying parties include the Initial Purchasers, shall be designated in writing by Citigroup. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. (d) In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, liability, damage or action) (collectively "Losses") to which such indemnified party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to such Security, or in the case of a New Security, applicable to the Security that was exchangeable into such New Security, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Final Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions as set forth on the cover page of the Final Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Securities or New Securities, as applicable, registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) 17 shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company or any of the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or any of the Guarantors who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director of the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). (e) The provisions of this Section will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company and the Guarantors or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 6, and will survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Registration Statement. 7. UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) If any of the Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, covered by any Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Majority Holders. (b) No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement, unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person's Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements. 8. SPECIAL INTEREST. If (a) on or prior to the 90th day following the original issue date of the Securities, neither the Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has been filed with the Commission, (b) on or prior to the 180th day following the original issue date of the Securities, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement has not been declared effective or on or prior to the 90th day following the Company's obligation to file the Shelf Registration Statement, the Shelf Registration Statement has not been filed, (c) on or prior to the 45th day following the date the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is first declared effective, the Registered Exchange Offer has not been consummated, or (d) after either the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or the Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of Securities or New Securities in accordance with and during the periods specified in this Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (a) through (d), a ("REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), interest ("SPECIAL INTEREST") will accrue on the principal amount of the Securities and the New Securities (in addition to the stated interest on the Securities and New Securities) from and including the date on which any such Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all Registration Defaults have been cured. Special Interest will accrue at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of such Registration Default and shall increase by 0.25% per annum at the end of each subsequent 90-day period, but in no event shall such rate exceed 1.00% per annum. 18 All obligations of the Company and the Guarantors set forth in the preceding paragraph that are outstanding with respect to any Security at the time such Security is exchanged for a New Security shall survive until such time as all such obligations with respect to such Security have been satisfied in full. 9. NO INCONSISTENT AGREEMENTS. The Company has not entered into, and agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders herein or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof. 10. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Registrable Securities outstanding; PROVIDED that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective; PROVIDED, FURTHER, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 8 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registered Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder; and PROVIDED, FURTHER, that the provisions of this Article 10 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing (except the foregoing provisos), a waiver or consent to departure from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of Holders whose Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by the Majority Holders, determined on the basis of Securities or New Securities, as the case may be, being sold rather than registered under such Registration Statement. 11. NOTICES. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery: (a) if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11, which address initially is, with respect to each Holder, the address of such Holder maintained by the Registrar under the Indenture; (b) if to you, initially at the respective addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and (c) if to the Company or the Guarantors, initially at their address set forth in the Purchase Agreement. All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received. 19 The Initial Purchasers, the Company or the Guarantors by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications. 12. REMEDIES. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein, in the Indenture or in the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. 13. SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Securities and the New Securities, and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 6 hereof. The Company hereby agrees to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Securities and the New Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto. 14. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 15. HEADINGS. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 16. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement. 17. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any one of more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. 18. SECURITIES HELD BY THE COMPANY, ETC. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of principal amount of Securities or New Securities is required hereunder, Securities or New Securities, as applicable, held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Securities or New Securities if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Securities or New Securities) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage. 20 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to us the enclosed duplicate hereof, whereupon this Agreement and your acceptance shall represent a binding agreement among the Company, the Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers.

(h) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the "REIMBURSEMENT DATE"), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person. In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this CLAUSE (h) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of payment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender's Ratable Portion of such payment in immediately available Dollars.

(vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this SECTION 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower's obligations hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender. In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this CLAUSE (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower's right to request, and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error. SECTION 2.15 CAPITAL ADEQUACY If at any time any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the date of this Agreement regarding capital adequacy, (b) compliance with any such law, treaty, rule, regulation or order or (c) compliance with any guideline or request or directive from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's (or any corporation controlling such Lender's) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by 71 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

Prior to any retiring Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent or Tranche C Agent, the retiring Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Agent its rights as Administrative Agent (or, as the case may be Tranche C Agent) under the Loan Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this ARTICLE X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent (or, as the case may be Tranche C Agent) under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in SECTION 11.8 (NOTICES, ETC.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted 133 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender. Any assignment pursuant to this SECTION 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

(e) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this SECTION 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following: (i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, shall retain all voting rights and shall remain the holder of the Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and (ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender's Securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to CLAUSE (i) above; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in CLAUSE (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this SECTION 11.2 other than this CLAUSE (e) or CLAUSE (f) 134 CREDIT AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. below.

(f) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans of any Tranche, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant's consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with SECTION 5.1 (RELEASES; ENFORCEMENT BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) of the Intercreditor Agreement.

(c) Each Grantor hereby expressly authorizes and instructs each issuer of any Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder by such Grantor to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from any Collateral Agent in writing that (A) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that is not prohibited from giving such instruction pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and (B) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that such issuer shall be fully protected in so complying and (ii) unless otherwise expressly provided hereby, pay any dividend or other payment with respect to the Pledged Collateral directly to such Collateral Agent.

SECTION 5.5 REGISTRATION RIGHTS (a) If any Collateral Agent shall determine (and be permitted under the Intercreditor Agreement) to exercise its rights to sell any the Pledged Collateral pursuant to SECTION 5.1 (CODE AND OTHER REMEDIES), and if in the opinion of such Collateral Agent it is necessary or advisable to have the Pledged Collateral, or any portion thereof to be registered under the provisions of the Securities Act, the relevant Grantor shall cause the issuer thereof to (i) execute and deliver, and cause the directors and officers of such issuer to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of such Collateral Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold and (iii) make all amendments thereto or to the related prospectus that, in the opinion of such Collateral Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto.

(b) Each Grantor recognizes that each Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this SECTION 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to each Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agents and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this SECTION 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such 22 PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PRESTIGE BRANDS, INC. Grantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement or that the Secured Obligations have been paid in full or that such covenants have been fully performed.

SECTION 3. ENFORCEMENT; APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS 3.1 EXERCISE OF REMEDIES (a) Each Collateral Agent, for itself and on behalf of the Secured Parties it represents, agrees that, as long as the First-Priority Secured Obligations have not been paid in full, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, each Collateral Agent: (i) no Tranche C Party will (A) exercise or seek to exercise any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral or (B) institute any action or proceeding with respect to any such right or remedy, including any action of foreclosure; (ii) no Tranche C Party will contest, protest or object to (A) any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by any First-Priority Party, (B) the exercise of any right or remedy by any First-Priority Party under any Loan Document or any other exercise by any First-Priority Party of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral, under the Loan Documents or otherwise, (C) except as provided in the Credit Agreement, any Asset Sale or release of Collateral permitted under SECTION 5.1 (RELEASES; ENFORCEMENT BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT) or (D) the forbearance by any First-Priority Party from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or any action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral; and (iii) the First-Priority Secured Parties shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies and make determinations regarding release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral (except as otherwise expressly provided in SECTION 11.1 (AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS, ETC.) of the Credit Agreement or hereunder) without any consultation with, or the need to obtain a consent from, any Tranche C Party; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, commencing the 90th day after the date of the receipt by the Administrative Agent of written notice from the Requisite Tranche C Lenders that a Tranche C Default has occurred and for as long as such Tranche C Default is continuing, the Requisite Tranche C Lenders may, at any time after such 90th day, instruct the Tranche C Agent to declare all Tranche C Secured Obligations to be forthwith due and payable under the Credit Agreement, whereupon the Tranche C Secured Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower. 4 In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First-Priority Parties may enforce the provisions of the Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion, subject to acting in a commercially reasonable manner in accordance with the UCC. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the uniform commercial code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Code and bankruptcy or similar laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

PAYMENTS OVER Unless and until all First-Priority Secured Obligations shall have been paid in full, any Collateral or proceeds thereof or any payment received by any Tranche C Party from proceeds of the Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent for application to the Obligations in the priority set forth in SECTION 3.2 (APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OF COLLATERAL AND OTHER PAYMENTS) in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(b) To the extent the Tranche C Agent is required to release any Lien pursuant to CLAUSE (a) above, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release such Liens for, and in the name of, the Tranche C Agent until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full. 5.2 EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO CERTAIN COLLATERAL (a) As between the First-Priority Parties and the Tranche C Parties, to the extent any of the following rights is granted under the Loan Documents: (i) Unless and until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full, the First-Priority Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, to adjust settlement for any insurance policy covering the Collateral in the event of any loss thereunder and approve any award granted in any condemnation or similar proceeding affecting the Collateral.

(ii) Unless and until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full, the First-Priority Parties shall have the sole and exclusive right, subject to the rights of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, to do any of the following: (A) notify account debtors of any Loan Party to make payments to any Collateral Agent, send "Blockage Notices"(as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) and other similar rights with respect to general intangibles, including as set forth in SECTION 5.2 (ACCOUNTS AND PAYMENTS IN RESPECT OF GENERAL INTANGIBLES), (B) receive dividends and distributions, send notices or otherwise exercise any rights with respect to any Collateral consisting of Instruments or Stock pledged as Collateral, including all rights set forth in SECTION 5.3 (PLEDGED COLLATERAL) of the Pledge and Security Agreement and as defined therein and (C) exercise any registration and similar rights with respect to any Stock pledged as Collateral, including all rights set forth in SECTION 5.5 (REGISTRATION RIGHTS) of the Pledge and Security Agreement.

(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided for herein, until the First-Priority Secured Obligations are paid in full, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents as if the Liens of or for the benefit of any Tranche C Party under any applicable Loan Documents did not exist.

The payment of any such money or distribution of any such property to a Unitholder shall be deemed to be a compromise within the meaning of the Delaware Act, and the Unitholder receiving any such money or property shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or property. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Unitholder is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Unitholder and not of any other Unitholder. 15 3.2 UNITHOLDER MEETINGS.

Without limiting the foregoing, each Unitholder's Capital Account shall be adjusted: (i) by adding any additional Capital Contributions made by such Unitholder in consideration for the issuance of Units; (ii) by deducting any amounts paid to such Unitholder in connection with the redemption or other repurchase by the LLC of Units; (iii) by adding any Profits allocated in favor of such Unitholder and subtracting any Losses allocated in favor of such Unitholder; and 19 (iv) by deducting any distributions paid in cash or other assets to such Unitholder by the LLC.

(ii) If the Book Value of any LLC property is adjusted pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f), the amount of such adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of such property. (iii) Items of income, gain, loss, or deduction attributable to the disposition of LLC property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Book Value of such property. (iv) Items of depreciation, amortization, and other cost recovery deductions with respect to LLC property having a Book Value that differs from its adjusted basis for tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the property's Book Value in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(g). (v) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any LLC asset pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis). 3.6 NEGATIVE CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. No Unitholder shall be required to pay to any other Unitholder or the LLC any deficit or negative balance which may exist from time to time in such Unitholder's Capital Account (including upon and after dissolution of the LLC). 3.7 NO WITHDRAWAL.

Loans by Unitholders to the LLC shall not be considered Capital Contributions. If any Unitholder shall loan funds to the LLC, the making of such loans shall not result in any increase in the amount of the Capital Account of such Unitholder. The amount of any such loans shall be a debt of the LLC to such Unitholder and shall be payable or collectible in accordance with the terms and conditions upon which such loans are made. 20 ARTICLE IV DISTRIBUTIONS; REDEMPTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS 4.1 DISTRIBUTIONS.

(iii) THIRD, to the Unitholders holding Class A Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unpaid Yield (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class A Unpaid Yield bears to the aggregate Class A Unpaid Yield) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class A Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unpaid Yield on such Unitholder's outstanding Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(IV) through (VII) below until the entire amount of the Class A Unpaid Yield on the outstanding Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. 21 (iv) FOURTH, to the Unitholders holding Class A Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to such Units (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to such Class A Preferred Units bears to the aggregate amount of Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class A Preferred Units) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class A Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to such Unitholder's Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(v) through (VII) below until the entire amount of Class A Unreturned Capital with respect to the outstanding Class A Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (v) FIFTH, to the Unitholders holding Class B Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unpaid Yield (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class B Unpaid Yield bears to the aggregate Class B Unpaid Yield) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class B Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unpaid Yield on such Unitholder's outstanding Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(VI) or (VII) below until the entire amount of the Class B Unpaid Yield on the outstanding Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (vi) SIXTH, to the Unitholders holding Class B Preferred Units, an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to such Units (in the proportion that each Unitholder's share of Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to such Class B Preferred Units bears to the aggregate amount of Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to all Class B Preferred Units) until each such Unitholder has received Distributions in respect of such Unitholder's Class B Preferred Units in an amount equal to the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to such Unitholder's Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution, and no Distribution or any portion thereof may be made pursuant to SECTION 4.1(a)(VII) below until the entire amount of Class B Unreturned Capital with respect to the outstanding Class B Preferred Units as of the time of such Distribution has been paid in full. (vii) SEVENTH, all remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Unitholders holding Common Units, pro-rata according to such holders' ownership of Common Units immediately prior to such Distribution. (b) GTCR THRESHOLD. Notwithstanding the distribution rights set forth in SECTIONS 4.1(a)(i) and (II) above, Distributions may be made at the discretion of the Board pursuant to SECTIONS 4.1(a)(III) through (VII) above prior to Distributions under SECTIONS 4.1(a)(i) and (II) above in an aggregate amount up to the GTCR Threshold. (c) TAX DISTRIBUTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, so long as the LLC is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes, the LLC shall use its best efforts to distribute within 15 days after the end of each Fiscal Quarter of the LLC, to the extent that funds are legally available therefor and would not be prohibited under any credit facility or other debt instrument to which the LLC or any Subsidiary is a party, 22 an amount of cash (a "TAX DISTRIBUTION") which in the good faith judgment of the Board equals the excess, if any, of (i) the product of (x) the amount of taxable income allocable to the Unitholders in respect of the period beginning on the date hereof and ending at the close of such Fiscal Quarter, multiplied by (y) the combined maximum federal, state, and local income tax rate to be applied with respect to such taxable income (calculated by using the highest maximum combined marginal federal, state, and local income tax rates to which any Unitholder may be subject and taking into account the deductibility of state income tax for federal income tax purposes) for such period (making an appropriate adjustment for any rate changes that take place during such period) over (ii) all prior distributions made pursuant to this subsection (c) and subsections(a) and (b) above. All Tax Distributions shall be treated as an advance of Distributions for purposes of SECTION 4.1(a). (d) PERSONS RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS. Each Distribution shall be made to the Persons shown on the LLC's books and records as Unitholders as of the date of such Distribution; provided, however, that any transferor and transferee of Units may mutually agree as to which of them should receive payment of any Distribution under SECTION 4.1. 4.2 ALLOCATIONS. Except as otherwise provided in SECTION 4.3, Profits and Losses for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated among the Unitholders in such a manner that, as of the end of such Fiscal Year, the sum of (i) the Capital Account of each Unitholder, (ii) such Unitholder's share of Minimum Gain (as determined according to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(g)), and (iii) such Unitholder's partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(2)) shall be equal to the respective net amounts, positive or negative, which would be distributed to them, determined as if the LLC were to (i) liquidate the assets of the LLC for an amount equal to their Book Value, and (ii) distribute the proceeds of liquidation pursuant to SECTION 13.2. 4.3 SPECIAL ALLOCATIONS. (a) Losses attributable to partner nonrecourse debt (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(b)(4)) shall be allocated in the manner required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i). If there is a net decrease during a Fiscal Year in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(3)), Profits for such Fiscal year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) shall be allocated to the Unitholders in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(i)(4). (b) If there is a net decrease in Minimum Gain during any Fiscal Year, each Unitholder shall be allocated Profits for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, for subsequent Fiscal Years) in the amounts and of such character as determined according to, and subject to the exceptions contained in, Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f). This SECTION 4.3(b) is intended to be a minimum gain chargeback provision that complies with the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-2(f), and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. (c) If any Unitholder that unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation, or distribution described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) and (6) has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of any Taxable Year, computed after the 23 application of SECTIONS 4.3(c) and 4.3(d) but before the application of any other provision of this ARTICLE IV, then Profits for such Taxable Year shall be allocated to such Unitholder in proportion to, and to the extent of, such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit. This SECTION 4.3(c) is intended to be a qualified income offset provision as described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted in a manner consistent therewith. (d) Profits and Losses shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the manner that the adjustments to the Capital Accounts are required to be made pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(j), (k), and (m). (e) The allocations set forth in SECTIONS 4.3(a)-(d) (the "REGULATORY ALLOCATIONS") are intended to comply with certain requirements of Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2 of the Treasury Regulations. The Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Unitholders intend to allocate Profit and Loss of the LLC or make LLC distributions. Accordingly, notwithstanding the other provisions of this ARTICLE IV, but subject to the Regulatory Allocations, income, gain, deduction, and loss shall be reallocated among the Unitholders so as to eliminate the effect of the Regulatory Allocations and thereby cause the respective Capital Accounts of the Unitholders to be in the amounts (or as close thereto as possible) they would have been if Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction, and loss) had been allocated without reference to the Regulatory Allocations. In general, the Unitholders anticipate that this will be accomplished by specially allocating other Profit and Loss (and such other items of income, gain, deduction, and loss) among the Unitholders so that the net amount of the Regulatory Allocations and such special allocations to each such Unitholder is zero. 4.4 TAX ALLOCATIONS. (a) The income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits of the LLC will be allocated, for federal, state, and local income tax purposes, among the Unitholders in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits among the Unitholders for computing their Capital Accounts; except that, if any such allocation is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, then the LLC's subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions, and credits will be allocated among the Unitholders so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. (b) Items of LLC taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the LLC shall be allocated among the Unitholders in accordance with Code Section 704(c) so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the LLC for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value. (c) If the Book Value of any LLC asset is adjusted pursuant to the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(e) or (f) subsequent allocations of items of taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Book Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c). 24 (d) Allocations of tax credits, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Unitholders according to their interests in such items as determined by the Board taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii). (e) Allocations pursuant to this SECTION 4.4 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Unitholder's Capital Account or Unit of Profits, Losses, Distributions, or other LLC items pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 4.5 INDEMNIFICATION AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR PAYMENTS ON BEHALF OF A UNITHOLDER. If the LLC is required by law to make any payment that is specifically attributable to a Unitholder or a Unitholder's status as such (including federal withholding taxes, state personal property taxes, and state unincorporated business taxes), then such Unitholder shall indemnify the LLC in full for the entire amount paid (including interest, penalties and related expenses). The LLC may pursue and enforce all rights and remedies it may have against each Unitholder under this SECTION 4.5, including instituting a lawsuit to collect such indemnification and contribution with interest calculated at a rate equal to 10% per annum, compounded as of the last day of each year (but not in excess of the highest rate per annum permitted by law). 4.6 TRANSFER OF CAPITAL ACCOUNTS. If a Unitholder transfers an interest in the LLC to a new or existing Unitholder, the transferee Unitholder shall succeed to that portion of the transferor's Capital Account that is attributable to the transferred interest. Any reference in this Agreement to a Capital Contribution of, or Distribution to, a Unitholder that has succeeded any other Unitholder shall include any Capital Contributions or Distributions previously made by or to the former Unitholder on account of the interest of such former Unitholder transferred to such Unitholder. ARTICLE V BOARD OF MANAGERS; OFFICERS 5.1 MANAGEMENT BY THE BOARD OF MANAGERS. (a) NO MANAGEMENT BY UNITHOLDERS.

Members of the Board need not be Unitholders and need not be residents of the State of Delaware. A person shall become a member of the Board effective upon receipt by the LLC at its principal place of business of a written notice addressed to the Board (or at such later time or upon the happening of some other event specified in such notice) of such Person's designation from the Person or Persons entitled to designate such manager pursuant to SECTION 5.2(a) above. A member of the Board may resign as such by delivering his, her or its written resignation to the LLC at the LLC's principal office addressed to the Board. Such resignation shall be effective upon receipt unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the happening of some other event. (c) REMOVAL. If the Executive Manager ceases to be employed by the LLC or its Subsidiaries, he shall be removed promptly after such time from the Board and each committee thereof.

The removal from the Board or 27 any of its committees (with or without cause) of any Additional Manager shall be upon (and only upon) the written request of GTCR LLC. (d) VACANCIES.

The LLC shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by each member of the Board incurred in the course of their service hereunder, including in connection with attending regular and special meetings of the Board, any board of managers or board of directors of each of the LLC's Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective committees. (f) COMPENSATION OF MANAGERS. Managers shall receive no compensation for serving in such capacity. (g) RELIANCE BY THIRD PARTIES. Any Person dealing with the LLC, other than a Unitholder, may rely on the authority of the Board (or any Officer authorized by the Board) in taking any action in the name of the LLC without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance herewith, regardless of whether that action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Every agreement, instrument or document executed by the Board (or any Officer authorized by the Board) in the name of the LLC with respect to any business or property of the LLC shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (i) at the time of the execution or delivery thereof, this Agreement was in full force and effect, (ii) such agreement, instrument or document was duly executed according to this Agreement and is binding upon the LLC and (iii) the Board or such Officer was duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver such agreement, instrument or document for and on behalf of the LLC. (h) SUBSIDIARY BOARD OF MANAGERS OR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. The LLC shall at all times, unless otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, cause the board of managers or board of directors of each of the LLC's Subsidiaries to be comprised of the same persons who are then Managers of the Board pursuant to SECTION 5.2(a) above. (i) BOARD OBSERVATION. For so long as TCW/Crescent Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Lenders collectively hold no less than 4% of the Common Units (calculated by including any securities of the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Lenders exercisable or convertible into Common Units), the LLC shall allow the TCW Representative to be present (whether in person or by telephone) at all meetings of the Board and all meetings of the Executive Committee of such Board, if any; PROVIDED THAT, the TCW Representative shall not be entitled to vote at such meetings; and FURTHER PROVIDED THAT, the TCW Representative shall not be entitled to attend such meetings if the Board determines that the attendance of the TCW Representative would jeopardize the attorney-client privilege or if information is being discussed 28 at such meeting relating to any of the LLC's or its Subsidiaries' strategy, negotiating positions or similar matters relating to any of the TCW/Crescent Purchasers or TCW/Crescent Lenders. The LLC shall send to the TCW Representative all of the notices, information and other materials that are distributed to the members of the Board including copies of the minutes of all meetings of the Board and all notices, information and other materials that are distributed by or to the members of the Board with respect to the meetings of the Executive Committee of the Board; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT, upon the request of the TCW Representative, the LLC shall refrain from sending such notices, information and other materials to the TCW Representative for so long as the TCW Representative shall request. If the LLC proposes to take any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of the Board, the LLC shall give notice thereof to the TCW Representative at the same time and in the same manner as notice is given to the members of the Board. The TCW/Crescent Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Lenders shall provide to the LLC the identity and address of, or any change with respect to the identity or address of, the TCW Representative. The LLC shall reimburse the TCW Representative for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such representative incurred in connection with the attendance at such meetings. 5.3 BOARD MEETINGS AND ACTIONS BY WRITTEN CONSENT. (a) QUORUM; VOTING. A majority of the total number of Managers then serving on the Board (i.e., excluding any vacancies on the Board) must be present (including pursuant to SECTION 5.3(h)) in order to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Board (provided that a quorum must at all times include at least either the GTCR Fund VIII Manager or the GTCR Fund VIII/B Manager), and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Managers present at a meeting of the Board at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board. A Manager who is present at a meeting of the Board at which action on any matter is taken shall be presumed to have assented to the action unless his dissent shall be entered in the minutes of the meeting or unless he shall file his written dissent to such action with the person acting as secretary of the meeting before the adjournment thereof or shall deliver such dissent to the LLC immediately after the adjournment of the meeting. Such right to dissent shall not apply to a Manager who voted in favor of such action. (b) PLACE; ATTENDANCE. Meetings of the Board may be held at such place or places as shall be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board. At all meetings of the Board, business shall be transacted in such order as shall from time to time be determined by resolution of the Board. Attendance of a Manager at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except where a Manager attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. (c) MEETING IN CONNECTION WITH UNITHOLDER MEETING. In connection with any meeting of Unitholders, the Managers may, if a quorum is present, hold a meeting for the transaction of business immediately after and at the same place as such meeting of the Unitholders. Notice of such meeting at such time and place shall not be required. (d) TIME, PLACE AND NOTICE. Regular meetings of the Board shall be held at such times and places as shall be designated from time to time by resolution of the Board. Notice of such meetings shall not be required. 29 (e) SPECIAL MEETINGS. Special meetings of the Board may be called by any Manager on at least 24 hours' notice to each other Manager. Such notice need not state the purpose or purposes of, nor the business to be transacted at, such meeting, except as may otherwise be required by law or provided for in this Agreement. (f) CHAIRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN. The Board shall designate one of the Managers to serve as Chairman and a different Manager to serve as Vice Chairman. The Chairman shall preside at all meetings of the Board. If the Chairman is absent at any meeting of the Board, the Vice Chairman shall preside over such Board meeting. If the Chairman and Vice Chairman are absent, the Managers present shall designate a member to serve as interim chairman for that meeting. Neither the Chairman nor Vice Chairman, except in their capacity as an Officer, shall have the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the LLC, to do any act that would be binding on the LLC or to make any expenditure or incur any obligation on behalf of the LLC or authorize any of the foregoing. (g) BOARD MEETINGS. There shall be meetings of the Board from time to time as requested by holders of the Required Interest. (h) ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT OR TELEPHONE CONFERENCE. Any action permitted or required by the Delaware Act, the Certificate or this Agreement to be taken at a meeting of the Board or any committee designated by the Board may be taken without a meeting if a consent in writing, setting forth the action to be taken, is signed by all the Managers or members of such committee, as the case may be. Such consent shall have the same force and effect as a unanimous vote at a meeting and may be stated as such in any document or instrument filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware, and the execution of such consent shall constitute attendance or presence in person at a meeting of the Board or any such committee, as the case may be. Subject to the requirements of the Delaware Act, the Certificate or this Agreement for notice of meetings, unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate, the Managers or members of any committee designated by the Board may participate in and hold a meeting of the Board or any committee, as the case may be, by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and participation in such meeting shall constitute attendance and presence in person at such meeting, except where a person participates in the meeting for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. 5.4 COMMITTEES; DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY AND DUTIES. (a) COMMITTEES; GENERALLY. The Board may, from time to time, designate one or more committees, each of which shall include at least two (2) Managers designated by any combination of GTCR Fund VIII, GTCR Fund VIII/B or GTCR LLC. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the enabling resolution or in the Certificate or this Agreement, shall have and may exercise all of the authority of the Board. At every meeting of any such committee, the presence of a majority of all the members thereof shall constitute a quorum, and the affirmative vote of a majority of the members present shall be necessary for the adoption of any resolution. The Board may dissolve any committee at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Certificate or this Agreement. 30 (b) AUDIT COMMITTEE. The Board may establish an audit committee to select the LLC's independent accountants and to review the annual audit of the LLC's financial statements conducted by such accountants. (c) DELEGATION; GENERALLY. The Board may, from time to time, delegate to one or more Persons (including any Manager or Officer) such authority and duties as the Board may deem advisable in addition to those powers and duties set forth in SECTION 5.1(b) hereof. The Board also may assign titles (including chairman, chief executive officer, president, vice president, secretary, assistant secretary, treasurer and assistant treasurer) to any Manager, Unitholder or other individual and may delegate to such Manager, Unitholder or other individual certain authority and duties. Any number of titles may be held by the same Manager, Unitholder or other individual. Any delegation pursuant to this SECTION 5.4(c) may be revoked at any time by the Board. (d) THIRD-PARTY RELIANCE. Any Person dealing with the LLC, other than a Unitholder, may rely on the authority of any Officer in taking any action in the name of the LLC without inquiry into the provisions of this Agreement or compliance herewith, regardless of whether that action actually is taken in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 5.5 OFFICERS. (a) DESIGNATION AND APPOINTMENT. The Board may (but need not), from time to time, designate and appoint one or more persons as an Officer of the LLC. No Officer need be a resident of the State of Delaware, a Unitholder or a Manager. Any Officers so designated shall have such authority and perform such duties as the Board may, from time to time, delegate to them. The Board may assign titles to particular Officers. Unless the Board otherwise decides, if the title is one commonly used for officers of a business corporation formed, the assignment of such title shall constitute the delegation to such Officer of the authority and duties that are normally associated with that office, subject to (i) any specific delegation of authority and duties made to such Officer by the Board pursuant to the third sentence of this SECTION 5.5(a) or (ii) any delegation of authority and duties made to one or more Officers pursuant to the terms of SECTIONS 5.4(c) and 5.5(c). Each Officer shall hold office until such Officer's successor shall be duly designated and shall qualify or until such Officer's death or until such Officer shall resign or shall have been removed in the manner hereinafter provided. Any number of offices may be held by the same individual. The salaries or other compensation, if any, of the Officers and agents of the LLC shall be fixed from time to time by the Board. (b) RESIGNATION; REMOVAL. Any Officer (subject to any contract rights available to the LLC, if applicable) may resign as such at any time. Such resignation shall be made in writing and shall take effect at the time specified therein, or if no time be specified, at the time of its receipt by the Board. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective, unless expressly so provided in the resignation. Any Officer may be removed as such, either with or without cause, by the Board in its discretion at any time; provided, however, that such removal shall be without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the individual so removed. Designation of an Officer shall not of itself create contract rights. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the LLC may be filled by the Board. 31 (c) DUTIES OF OFFICERS; GENERALLY. The Officers, in the performance of their duties as such, shall owe to the Unitholders duties of loyalty and due care of the type owed by the officers of a corporation to such corporation and its stockholders under the laws of the State of Delaware. The following Officers, to the extent such Officers have been appointed by the Board, shall have the following duties: (i) CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER. Subject to the powers of the Board, the chief executive officer of the LLC shall be in the general and active charge of the entire business and affairs of the LLC, and shall be its chief policy-making Officer. The president, chief financial officer and each other senior officer of the LLC shall report directly to the chief executive officer. The chief executive officer shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Board are carried into effect. The chief executive officer shall have such other powers and perform such other duties as may be prescribed by the Board. (ii) PRESIDENT. The president shall, subject to the powers of the Board and the chief executive officer, be the chief administrative officer of the LLC and shall have general charge of the business, affairs and property of the LLC, and control over its Officers (other than the chief executive officer), agents and employees. The president shall see that all orders and resolutions of the Board and the chief executive officer are carried into effect.

He or she shall have authority to suspend or to remove any employee, agent or Officer (other than the chief executive officer) of the LLC and, in the case of the suspension for cause of any such Officer, to recommend to the Board what further action should be taken. In the absence of the president, his or her duties shall be performed and his or her authority may be exercised by the chief executive officer. In the absence of the president and the chief executive officer, the duties of the president shall be performed and his or her authority may be exercised by such Officer as may have been designated as the most senior officer of the LLC.

ARTICLE VI GENERAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF UNITHOLDERS 6.1 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except as otherwise provided by applicable law, the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the LLC, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, shall be solely the debts, obligations, and liabilities of the LLC, and no Unitholder shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation, or liability of the LLC solely by reason of being a Unitholder of the LLC; provided that a Unitholder shall be required to return to the LLC any Distribution made to it in clear and manifest accounting or similar error. The immediately preceding sentence shall constitute a compromise to which all Unitholders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the failure of the LLC to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business and affairs under this Agreement or the Delaware Act shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on the Unitholders for liabilities of the LLC. 6.2 LACK OF AUTHORITY. No Unitholder in his, her, or its capacity as such (other than the members of the Board acting as the Board or an authorized Officer of the LLC) has the authority or power to act for or on behalf of the LLC in any manner, to do any act that would be (or could be construed as) binding on the LLC or to make any expenditures on behalf of the LLC, and the Unitholders hereby consent to the exercise by the Board of the powers conferred on it by law and this Agreement. 6.3 NO RIGHT OF PARTITION. No Unitholder shall have the right to seek or obtain partition by court decree or operation of law of any LLC property, or the right to own or use particular or individual assets of the LLC. 6.4 UNITHOLDERS RIGHT TO ACT. For situations which the approval of any Unitholders or class thereof (rather than the approval of the Board on behalf of the Unitholders) is required, the Unitholders shall act through meetings and written consents as described in SECTION 3.2. 33 6.5 CONFLICTS OF INTEREST. A Unitholder, its Affiliates and each of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, controlling persons, partners and employees (collectively, the "UNITHOLDER GROUP") may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the LLC and its Subsidiaries, except as any such Person may have otherwise agreed with the LLC or any of its Subsidiaries in writing. Neither the LLC nor any Unitholder shall have any rights by virtue of this Agreement in any business ventures of any such Person except for any business interests or activities which any such Person has agreed in writing with the LLC or any of its Subsidiaries to not pursue or consummate (whether directly or indirectly), in which case all of such Person's direct and indirect interest in such business interests or activities shall become an asset of the LLC and the LLC shall be entitled to all rights in such business interests or activities and to all income or profits derived therefrom. 6.6 TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN THE LLC AND THE UNITHOLDERS. Notwithstanding that it may constitute a conflict of interest, the Unitholders or their Affiliates may engage in any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or rendering of any service or the establishment of any salary, other compensation or other terms of employment) with the LLC so long as such transaction is approved by the Board. ARTICLE VII EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 7.1 EXCULPATION. No Officer or Manager shall be liable to any other Officer, Manager, the LLC or to any Unitholder for any loss suffered by the LLC unless such loss is caused by such Person's gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or material breach of this Agreement. The Officers and Managers shall not be liable for errors in judgment or for any acts or omissions that do not constitute gross negligence, willful misconduct, violation of law or material breach of this Agreement. Any Officer or Manager may consult with counsel and accountants in respect of LLC affairs, and provided such Person acts in good faith reliance upon the advice or opinion of such counsel or accountants, such Person shall not be liable for any loss suffered by the LLC in reliance thereon. 7.2 RIGHT TO INDEMNIFICATION. Subject to the limitations and conditions as provided in this ARTICLE VII, each Person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, arbitrative (hereinafter a "PROCEEDING"), or any appeal in such a Proceeding or any inquiry or investigation that could lead to such a Proceeding, by reason of the fact that he or she, or a Person of whom he or she is the legal representative, is or was a Unitholder, Manager or Officer, or while a Unitholder, Manager or Officer is or was serving at the request of the LLC as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be indemnified by the LLC to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware Act, as the same exist or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the LLC to provide broader indemnification rights than said law permitted the LLC to provide prior to such amendment) against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes and punitive damages), fines, settlements and reasonable 34 expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually incurred by such Person in connection with such Proceeding, and indemnification under this ARTICLE VII shall continue as to a Person who has ceased to serve in the capacity which initially entitled such Person to indemnity hereunder. The rights granted pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be deemed contract rights, and no amendment, modification or repeal of this ARTICLE VII shall have the effect of limiting or denying any such rights with respect to actions taken or Proceedings arising prior to any amendment, modification or repeal. It is expressly acknowledged that the indemnification provided in this ARTICLE VII could involve indemnification for negligence or under theories of strict liability. 7.3 ADVANCE PAYMENT. Reasonable expenses incurred by a Person of the type entitled to be indemnified under SECTION 7.2 who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding shall be paid by the LLC in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding unless otherwise determined by the Board in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the LLC. 7.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS. The LLC, by adoption of a resolution of the Board, may indemnify and advance expenses to an employee or agent of the LLC to the same extent and subject to the same conditions under which it may indemnify and advance expenses to Persons who are not or were not Managers or Officers but who are or were serving at the request of the LLC as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such a Person to the same extent that it may indemnify and advance expenses to Managers and Officers under this ARTICLE VII. 7.5 APPEARANCE AS A WITNESS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE VII, the LLC shall pay or reimburse reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by a Manager or Officer in connection with his appearance as a witness or other participation in a Proceeding at a time when he is not a named defendant or respondent in the Proceeding. 7.6 NONEXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS. The right to indemnification and the advancement and payment of expenses conferred in this ARTICLE VII shall not be exclusive of any other right which a Manager, Officer or other Person indemnified pursuant to SECTION 7.2 may have or hereafter acquire under any law (common or statutory), provision of the Certificate or this Agreement, agreement, vote of Unitholders or disinterested Managers or otherwise. 7.7 INSURANCE. The LLC may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Person who is or was serving as a Manager, Officer or agent of the LLC or is or was serving at the request of the LLC as a manager, director, officer, partner, venturer, proprietor, trustee, employee, agent or similar functionary of another foreign or domestic limited liability company, corporation, partnership, joint venture, sole proprietorship, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the LLC would have the power to indemnify such Person against such expense, liability or loss under this ARTICLE VII. 35 7.8 SAVINGS CLAUSE. If this ARTICLE VII or any portion hereof shall be invalidated on any ground by any court of competent jurisdiction, then the LLC shall nevertheless indemnify and hold harmless each Manager, Officer or any other Person indemnified pursuant to this ARTICLE VII as to costs, charges and expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this ARTICLE VII that shall not have been invalidated and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. ARTICLE VIII BOOKS, RECORDS, ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS 8.1 RECORDS AND ACCOUNTING. The LLC shall keep, or cause to be kept, appropriate books and records with respect to the LLC's business, including all books and records necessary to provide any information, lists, and copies of documents required to be provided pursuant to SECTION 8.3 or pursuant to applicable laws. All matters concerning (i) the determination of the relative amount of allocations and distributions among the Unitholders pursuant to ARTICLES III and IV and (ii) accounting procedures and determinations, and other determinations not specifically and expressly provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall be determined by the Board, whose determination shall be final and conclusive as to all of the Unitholders absent manifest clerical error. 8.2 FISCAL YEAR. The fiscal year (the "FISCAL YEAR") of the LLC shall constitute the 12-month period ending on March 31 of each calendar year, or such other annual accounting period as may be established by the Board. 8.3 TAX INFORMATION. The LLC shall use reasonable best efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered, within 75 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, to each Person who was a Unitholder at any time during such Fiscal Year all information necessary for the preparation of such Person's United States federal and state income tax returns. 8.4 TRANSMISSION OF COMMUNICATIONS. Each Person that owns or controls Units on behalf of, or for the benefit of, another Person or Persons shall be responsible for conveying any report, notice, or other communication received from the Board to such other Person or Persons. 8.5 LLC FUNDS. The Board and Officers may not commingle the LLC's funds with the funds of any Unitholder or Manager. ARTICLE IX TAXES 9.1 TAX RETURNS. The LLC shall prepare and file all necessary federal and state income tax returns, including making the elections described in SECTION 9.2. Each Unitholder shall furnish to the LLC all pertinent information in its possession relating to LLC operations that is necessary to enable the LLC's income tax returns to be prepared and filed. 36 9.2 TAX ELECTIONS. The LLC shall make any election the LLC may deem appropriate and in the best interests of the Unitholders. 9.3 TAX MATTERS PARTNER. GTCR Fund VIII (or an Affiliate so designated by GTCR Fund VIII) shall be the "tax matters partner" of the LLC pursuant to Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the "TAX MATTERS PARTNER"). The Tax Matters Partner shall take such action as may be necessary to cause each other Unitholder to become a "notice partner" within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code. The Tax Matters Partner shall inform each other Unitholder of all significant matters that may come to its attention in its capacity as Tax Matters Partner by giving notice thereof on or before the fifth business day after becoming aware thereof and, within that time, shall forward to each other Unitholder copies of all significant written communications he may receive in that capacity. The Tax Matters Partner may not take any action contemplated by Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code without the consent of the Board, but this sentence does not authorize the Tax Matters Partner (or any Manager) to take any action left to the determination of an individual Unitholder under Sections 6222 through 6232 of the Code. ARTICLE X TRANSFER OF LLC INTERESTS 10.1 TRANSFERS BY UNITHOLDERS. (a) Except for Transfers made in compliance with the Securityholders Agreement, the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement, the Senior Management Agreements and the Registration Agreement, no Unitholder shall Transfer any interest in any Units except to Permitted Transferees and in compliance with this ARTICLE X. Except for Transfers made in compliance with the Securityholders Agreement, the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement, the Senior Management Agreements and the Registration Agreement, no Unitholder shall Transfer, or offer or agree to Transfer, all or any part of any interest of such Person's Units without the prior written consent of the Board, which consent may be withheld in the Board's sole discretion. With the Board's consent, a Unitholder may Transfer all or any part of such Person's Units, subject to compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, SECTION 10.1(b)). (b) Each transferee of Units or other interest in the LLC shall, as a condition precedent to such Transfer, execute a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee shall agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. 10.2 EFFECT OF ASSIGNMENT. (a) Any Unitholder who shall assign any Units or other interest in the LLC shall cease to be a Unitholder of the LLC with respect to such Units or other interest and shall no longer have any rights or privileges of a Unitholder with respect to such Units or other interest. (b) Any Person who acquires in any manner whatsoever any Units or other interest in the LLC, irrespective of whether such Person has accepted and adopted in writing the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall be deemed by the acceptance of the benefits of the acquisition thereof to have agreed to be subject to and bound by all of the terms and conditions 37 of this Agreement that any predecessor in such Units or other interest in the LLC of such Person was subject to or by which such predecessor was bound. 10.3 RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER. In order to permit the LLC to qualify for the benefit of a "safe harbor" under Code Section 7704, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Transfer of any Unit or economic interest shall be permitted or recognized by the LLC or the Board (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(d)) if and to the extent that such Transfer would cause the LLC to have more than 100 partners (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h), including the look-through rule in Treasury Regulation Section 1.7704-1(h)(3)). 10.4 TRANSFER FEES AND EXPENSES. The transferor and transferee of any Units or other interest in the LLC shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the LLC for all reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees and expenses) of any Transfer or proposed Transfer, whether or not consummated. 10.5 VOID TRANSFERS. Any Transfer by any Unitholder of any Units or other interest in the LLC in contravention of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the failure of the transferee to execute a counterpart in accordance with SECTION 10.1(b)) or which would cause the LLC to not be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes shall be void and ineffectual and shall not bind or be recognized by the LLC or any other party. No purported assignee shall have any right to any profits, losses or distributions of the LLC. ARTICLE XI ADMISSION OF UNITHOLDERS 11.1 SUBSTITUTED UNITHOLDERS. In connection with the transfer of an LLC Interest of a Unitholder permitted under the terms of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the transferee shall become a Substituted Unitholder on the effective date of such Transfer, which effective date shall not be earlier than the date of compliance with or waiver of the conditions to such Transfer (unless one of the conditions to such Transfer is that Board or Unitholder consent is required for the admission of such transferee, in which case such consent must first be obtained), including executing counterparts of, and become a party to, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the transferor Unitholder was a party, and such admission shall be shown on the books and records of the LLC. 11.2 ADDITIONAL UNITHOLDERS. A Person may be admitted to the LLC as an Additional Unitholder only as contemplated under, and in compliance with, the terms of this Agreement, including furnishing to the Board (a) a letter of acceptance, in form satisfactory to the Board, of all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the power of attorney granted in SECTION 15.1, and (b) such other documents or instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such Person's admission as a Unitholder (including counterparts or joinders to all applicable Transaction Documents). Such admission shall become effective on the date on which the Board determines in its sole discretion that such conditions have been satisfied and when any such admission is shown on the books and records of the LLC. 38 11.3 OPTIONHOLDERS. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no Person that holds securities (including options, warrants, or rights) exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible into Units shall have any rights with respect to such Units until such Person is actually issued Units upon such exercise, exchange, or conversion and, if such Person is not then a Unitholder, is admitted as a Unitholder pursuant to SECTION 11.2. ARTICLE XII WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION OF UNITHOLDERS 12.1 WITHDRAWAL AND RESIGNATION OF UNITHOLDERS. No Unitholder shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign or be expelled from the LLC prior to the dissolution and winding up of the LLC pursuant to ARTICLE XII, except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement or any of the other agreements contemplated hereby. Notwithstanding that payment on account of a withdrawal may be made after the effective time of such withdrawal, any completely withdrawing Unitholder will not be considered a Unitholder for any purpose after the effective time of such complete withdrawal, and, in the case of a partial withdrawal, such Unitholder's Capital Account (and corresponding voting and other rights) shall be reduced for all other purposes hereunder upon the effective time of such partial withdrawal. 12.2 WITHDRAWAL OF A UNITHOLDER. No Unitholder shall have the power or right to withdraw or otherwise resign from the LLC except simultaneous with the Transfer of all of a Unitholder's Units in a Transfer permitted by this Agreement and, if such Transfer is to a person or entity that is not a Unitholder, the admission of such person or entity as a Unitholder pursuant to SECTION 11.1. ARTICLE XIII DISSOLUTION AND LIQUIDATION 13.1 DISSOLUTION. The LLC shall not be dissolved by the admission of Additional Unitholders or Substituted Unitholders, or by the death, retirement, expulsion, bankruptcy or dissolution of a Unitholder. The LLC shall dissolve, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first to occur of the following: (a) at any time by the Board; or (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the LLC under Section 35-5 of the Delaware Act or an administrative dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Delaware Act. Except as otherwise set forth in this Article XIII, the LLC is intended to have perpetual existence. An Event of Withdrawal shall not cause a dissolution of the LLC and the LLC shall continue in existence subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 13.2 LIQUIDATION AND TERMINATION. On dissolution of the LLC, the Board shall act as liquidator or may appoint one or more representatives or Unitholders as liquidator. The liquidators shall proceed diligently to wind up the affairs of the LLC, sell all or any portion of the LLC assets for cash or cash equivalents as they deem appropriate, and make final 39 distributions as provided herein and in the Delaware Act. The costs of liquidation shall be borne as an LLC expense. Until final distribution, the liquidators shall continue to operate the LLC properties with all of the power and authority of the Board. The liquidators shall pay, satisfy, or discharge from LLC funds all of the debts, liabilities, and obligations of the LLC (including all expenses incurred in liquidation) or otherwise make adequate provision for payment and discharge thereof (including the establishment of a cash fund for contingent liabilities in such amount and for such term as the liquidators may reasonably determine) and shall promptly distribute the remaining assets to the holders of Units in accordance with SECTION 4.1(a). Any non-cash assets will first be written up or down to their Fair Market Value, thus creating Profit or Loss (if any), which shall be allocated in accordance with SECTIONS 4.2 and 4.3. In making such distributions, the liquidators shall allocate each type of asset (i.e., cash, cash equivalents, securities, etc.) among the Unitholders ratably based upon the aggregate amounts to be distributed with respect to the Units held by each such holder. Any such distributions in kind shall be subject to (x) such conditions relating to the disposition and management of such assets as the liquidators deem reasonable and equitable and (y) the terms and conditions of any agreement governing such assets (or the operation thereof or the holders thereof) at such time. The distribution of cash and/or property to a Unitholder in accordance with the provisions of this SECTION 13.2 constitutes a complete return to the Unitholder of its Capital Contributions and a complete distribution to the Unitholder of its interest in the LLC and all the LLC's property and constitutes a compromise to which all Unitholders have consented within the meaning of the Delaware Act. To the extent that a Unitholder returns funds to the LLC, it has no claim against any other Unitholder for those funds. 13.3 CANCELLATION OF CERTIFICATE. On completion of the distribution of LLC assets as provided herein, the LLC shall be terminated (and the LLC shall not be terminated prior to such time), and the Board (or such other Person or Persons as the Delaware Act may require or permit) shall file a certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State of Delaware, cancel any other filings made pursuant to this Agreement that are or should be canceled, and take such other actions as may be necessary to terminate the LLC. The LLC shall be deemed to continue in existence for all purposes of this Agreement until it is terminated pursuant to this SECTION 13.3. 13.4 REASONABLE TIME FOR WINDING UP. A reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly winding up of the business and affairs of the LLC and the liquidation of its assets pursuant to SECTION 13.2 in order to minimize any losses otherwise attendant upon such winding up. 13.5 RETURN OF CAPITAL. The liquidators shall not be personally liable for the return of Capital Contributions or any portion thereof to the Unitholders (it being understood that any such return shall be made solely from LLC assets). 13.6 RESERVES AGAINST DISTRIBUTIONS. The Board shall have the right to withhold from Distributions payable to any Unitholder under this Agreement amounts sufficient to pay and discharge any reasonably anticipated contingent liabilities of the LLC. Any amounts remaining after payment and discharge of any such contingent liabilities of the LLC will be paid to the Unitholders from whom the Distributions were withheld. 40 ARTICLE XIV VALUATION 14.1 DETERMINATION. Subject to SECTION 14.2, the Fair Market Value of the assets of the LLC or of a LLC Interest will be determined by the Board (or, if pursuant to SECTION 13.2, the liquidators) in its good faith judgment in such manner as its deems reasonable and using all factors, information and data deemed to be pertinent. 14.2 FAIR MARKET VALUE. "FAIR MARKET VALUE" of (i) a specific LLC asset will mean the amount which the LLC would receive in an all-cash sale of such asset (free and clear of all Liens and after payment of all liabilities secured only by such asset) in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (and after giving effect to any transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale); and (ii) the LLC will mean the amount which the LLC would receive in an all-cash sale of all of its assets and businesses as a going concern (free and clear of all Liens and after payment of indebtedness for borrowed money) in an arms-length transaction with an unaffiliated third party consummated on the day immediately preceding the date on which the event occurred which necessitated the determination of the Fair Market Value (assuming that all of the proceeds from such sale were paid directly to the LLC other than an amount of such proceeds necessary to pay transfer taxes payable in connection with such sale, which amount will not be received or deemed received by the LLC). After a determination of the Fair Market Value of the LLC is made as provided above, the Fair Market Value of a Unit will be determined by making a calculation reflecting the cash distributions which would be made to the Unitholders in accordance with this Agreement in respect of such Unit if the LLC were deemed to have received such Fair Market Value in cash and then distributed the same to the Unitholders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement incident to the liquidation of the LLC after payment to all of the LLC's creditors from such cash receipts other than payments to creditors who hold evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money, the payment of which is already reflected in the calculation of the Fair Market Value of the LLC and assuming that all of the convertible debt and other convertible securities were repaid or converted (whichever yields more cash to the holders of such convertible securities) and all options to acquire Units (whether or not currently exercisable) that have an exercise price below the Fair Market Value of such Units were exercised and the exercise price therefor paid. Except as otherwise provided herein or in any agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby, any amount to be paid under this Agreement by reference to the Fair Market Value shall be paid in full in cash, and any Unit being transferred in exchange therefor will be transferred free and clear of all Liens. ARTICLE XV GENERAL PROVISIONS 15.1 POWER OF ATTORNEY. (a) Each Unitholder hereby constitutes and appoints each member of the Board and the liquidators, with full power of substitution, as his or its true and lawful agent and 41 attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in his or its name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file, and record in the appropriate public offices (i) this Agreement, all certificates, and other instruments and all amendments (in the manner set forth herein) thereof in accordance with the terms hereof which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to form, qualify, or continue the qualification of, the LLC as a limited liability company in the State of Delaware and in all other jurisdictions in which the LLC may conduct business or own property; (ii) all instruments which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to reflect any amendment, change, modification, or restatement of this Agreement in accordance with its terms; (iii) all conveyances and other instruments or documents which the Board deems appropriate or necessary to reflect the dissolution and liquidation of the LLC pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including a certificate of cancellation; and (iv) all instruments relating to the admission, withdrawal, or substitution of any Unitholder pursuant to ARTICLE XI and XII. (b) The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive the death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency, or termination of any Unitholder and the Transfer of all or any portion of his or its LLC Interest and shall extend to such Unitholder's heirs, successors, assigns, and personal representatives. 15.2 AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended from time to time pursuant to a written instrument executed by the holders of the Required Interest; PROVIDED that: (a) no amendment or modification pursuant to this Section 15.2 that by its terms would adversely and disproportionately affect any Unitholder (or group of Unitholders) of a particular class of Units in a manner different from the other Unitholders of such class of Units shall be effective against such Unitholder (or particular group of Unitholders) without the prior written consent of such Unitholder (or, in the case of a group, the holders of a majority of the Units held by such group) so affected thereby; (b) no amendment or modification pursuant to this SECTION 15.2 that by its terms expressly amends in an adverse manner any right specifically granted to a particular Unitholder (or a particular group of Unitholders) hereunder shall be effective without the prior written consent of such Unitholder(s) (e.g., no amendment or modification of SECTION 2.10 or 5.2(i) (or any defined term used directly or indirectly therein) that would expressly modify in an adverse manner any of the rights specifically granted to TCW/Crescent Purchasers thereunder shall be effective without the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Units held by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers); and (c) no amendment or modification of this clause (c), SECTION 4.1(a)(i), 4.1(a)(II), 4.1(b), 15.7(b), clause (A) of the last sentence of SECTION 3.4, or SCHEDULE 1 attached hereto (or any defined term used directly or indirectly in any such Section, provision or schedule), that would expressly modify in an adverse manner any right specifically granted to the holders of Senior Preferred Units thereunder shall be effective without the prior written consent of the holders of at least a majority of the Senior Preferred Units then outstanding. 15.3 TITLE TO LLC ASSETS. LLC assets shall be deemed to be owned by the LLC as an entity, and no Unitholder, individually or collectively, shall have any ownership interest in such LLC assets or any portion thereof. Legal title to any or all LLC assets may be held in the name of the LLC or one or more nominees, as the Board may determine. The Board hereby declares and warrants that any LLC assets for which legal title is held in its name or the name of any nominee shall be held in trust by the Board or such nominee for the use and benefit of the LLC in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All LLC assets shall be recorded as the 42 property of the LLC on its books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such LLC assets is held. 15.4 REMEDIES. Each Unitholder and the LLC shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this Agreement and all rights and remedies which such Person has been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such Person has under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereby shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. 15.5 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, whether so expressed or not. 15.6 SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or the effectiveness or validity of any provision in any other jurisdiction, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed, and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 15.7 INCORPORATION OF THE LLC; CONVERSION OF SENIOR PREFERRED UNITS. (a) The Board may, in order to facilitate a public offering of securities, or for other reasons that the Board deems in the best interests of the LLC or the Unitholders, cause the LLC to incorporate its business, or any portion thereof, including by (i) the transfer of all of the assets of the LLC, subject to the LLC's liabilities, or the transfer of any portion of such assets and liabilities, to one or more corporations in exchange for shares of such corporation(s) and the subsequent distribution of such shares, at such time as the Board may determine, to the Unitholders on a pro rata basis, (ii) conversion of the LLC into a corporation pursuant to 6 Del. C. Section 18-216 (or any successor section thereto) or (iii) Transfer by each Unitholder of Units held by such Unitholder to one or more corporations in exchange for shares of such corporation(s) (including by merger of the LLC into a corporation) and, in connection therewith, each Unitholder agrees to the Transfer of its Units in accordance with the terms of exchange as provided by the Board and further agrees that as of the effective date of such exchange any Unit outstanding thereafter which shall not have been tendered for exchange shall represent only the right to receive a certificate representing the number of shares of such corporation(s) as provided in the terms of such exchange. In connection with any such reorganization or exchange as provided above, each Unitholder of a particular class shall receive the same form of securities and the same amount of securities per Unit of such class and if any holders of a class of Units are given an option as to the form and amount of securities to be received, each holder of such class of Units shall be given the same option. The LLC shall pay any and all organizational, legal and accounting expenses and filing fees incurred in connection with such incorporation transaction, 43 including, without limitation, any fees related to a filing under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Anti-Trust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, if applicable. (b) Notwithstanding any implication herein to the contrary, the holders of a majority of the then outstanding Senior Preferred Units may elect, by delivering written notice to the LLC within 10 days after being notified that the LLC (or any successor of the LLC) plans to consummate its initial Public Offering (an "IPO CONVERSION NOTICE"), to cause each Senior Preferred Unit then outstanding (or each security exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) to be converted immediately prior to the consummation of such initial Public Offering into a number of the same class of securities being offered in such Public Offering equal to the result of (i) the sum of the Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital and the Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield of such Senior Preferred Unit, in each case as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the consummation of such Public Offering, divided by (ii) the per unit price at which such securities will initially be offered to the public in such offering (excluding all underwriter's and similar discounts); PROVIDED that, if an IPO Conversion Notice is delivered to the LLC within the time period provided above, then (i) each holder of Senior Preferred Units (or any security exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) shall be obligated to convert all (but not less than all) of such holder's then outstanding Senior Preferred Units (or securities exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) immediately prior to consummation of such initial Public Offering and (ii) the LLC (or successor thereto) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the underwriter(s) managing such offering to include such conversion securities in such offering after inclusion of all securities to be registered for the account of the Company or other initiating holder(s). Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any conversion securities are not included in the offering, such securities and the holder(s) thereof shall be subject to the holdback restrictions contained in Section 5 of the Senior Preferred Investor Rights Agreement. If an IPO Conversion Notice is not delivered to the LLC within the time period provided above and if such initial Public Offering is subsequently consummated, then the holders of Senior Preferred Units (or securities exchanged therefore pursuant to clause (a) above) shall no longer have any rights of conversion hereunder. 15.8 REPURCHASE OF UNITS BY THE LLC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Senior Management Agreement, the LLC may exercise (or fulfill) its repurchase rights (or obligations) with respect to a holder of Units subject to such rights (or obligations) pursuant to a Senior Management Agreement, in whole or in part, in each case, by distributing to such holder securities issued by a Subsidiary of the LLC with a value equal to the sum of (a) the repurchase price of the Class B Preferred Units of such holder to be repurchased and (b) the repurchase price of the Common Units of such holder to be repurchased and following such distribution the Subsidiary that issued the distributed securities redeems or repurchases such securities from such holder for an amount of cash equal to the sum of (a) the repurchase price of the Class B Preferred Units of such holder to be repurchased and (b) the repurchase price of the Common Units of such holder to be repurchased. The LLC and the holder agree to treat such distribution as a distribution of securities of the Subsidiary under Code Section 731(a). 15.9 OPT-IN TO ARTICLE 8 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE. The Unitholders hereby agree that the Units shall be securities governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code 44 of the State of Delaware (and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction). 15.10 NOTICE TO UNITHOLDER OF PROVISIONS. By executing this Agreement, each Unitholder acknowledges that it has actual notice of (a) all of the provisions hereof (including the restrictions on the transfer set forth herein), and (b) all of the provisions of the Certificate. 15.11 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts with the same effect as if all signing parties had signed the same document. All counterparts shall be construed together and constitute the same instrument. 15.12 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. Each Unitholder irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the State of Delaware and the state courts of the State of Delaware for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. Each Unitholder further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by United States certified or registered mail to such Unitholder's respective address set forth in the LLC's books and records or such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party shall be effective service of process in any action, suit or proceeding in Delaware with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Each Unitholder irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the United States District Court for the State of Delaware or the state courts of the State of Delaware and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 15.13 DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS; INTERPRETATION. The descriptive headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a substantive part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, any pronoun used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine, or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns, pronouns, and verbs shall include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word "including" in this Agreement shall be by way of example rather than by limitation. Reference to any agreement, document, or instrument means such agreement, document, or instrument as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, and, if applicable, hereof. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, no amendment or other modification to any agreement, document, or instrument that requires the consent of any Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other agreement will be given effect hereunder unless such Person has consented in writing to such amendment or modification. Wherever required by the context, references to a Fiscal Year shall refer to a portion thereof. The use of the words "or," "either," and "any" shall not be exclusive. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this 45 Agreement. Wherever a conflict exists between this Agreement and any other agreement, this Agreement shall control but solely to the extent of such conflict. 15.14 APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Any dispute relating hereto shall be heard in the state or federal courts of Delaware, and the parties agree to jurisdiction and venue therein. 15.15 MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (INCLUDING THE LLC) HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND/OR THE RELATIONSHIPS ESTABLISHED AMONG THE PARTIES HEREUNDER. 15.16 ADDRESSES AND NOTICES. All notices, demands, or other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given or made when (a) delivered personally to the recipient, (b) telecopied to the recipient (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on a business day, and otherwise on the next business day, or (c) one business day after being sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid). Such notices, demands, and other communications shall be sent to the address for such recipient set forth in the LLC's books and records, or to such other address or to the attention of such other person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party. Any notice to the Board or the LLC shall be deemed given if received by the Board at the principal office of the LLC designated pursuant to SECTION 2.5. 15.17 CREDITORS. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditors of the LLC or any of its Affiliates, and no creditor who makes a loan to the LLC or any of its Affiliates may have or acquire (except pursuant to the terms of a separate agreement executed by the LLC in favor of such creditor) at any time as a result of making the loan any direct or indirect interest in LLC Profits, Losses, Distributions, capital, or property other than as a secured creditor. 15.18 WAIVER. No failure by any party to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant, duty, agreement, or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy 46 consequent upon a breach thereof shall constitute a waiver of any such breach or any other covenant, duty, agreement, or condition. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Agreement, Section 18-305(a) of the Delaware Act shall not apply to the LLC and no Unitholder shall have any rights thereunder. 15.19 FURTHER ACTION. The parties shall execute and deliver all documents, provide all information, and take or refrain from taking such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to achieve the purposes of this Agreement. 15.20 OFFSET. Whenever the LLC is to pay any sum to any Unitholder or any Affiliate or related person thereof, any amounts that such Unitholder or such Affiliate or related person owes to the LLC may be deducted from that sum before payment. 15.21 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein, the other documents of even date herewith, and the other Transaction Documents embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way, including, without limitation, the Prior Agreement. 15.22 DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense. 15.23 SURVIVAL. ARTICLE I and SECTIONS 4.5, 6.1, 7.1, 7.2, 15.12, 15.14, 15.15, 15.16, and this 15.23 shall survive and continue in full force in accordance with their terms notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the dissolution of the LLC. 15.24 DEEMED TRANSFER OF UNITS. If the LLC or any other Person acquiring Units of a Unitholder pursuant to any Transaction Document shall make available, at the time and place and in the amount and form provided in such Transaction Document, the consideration for the Units to be repurchased in accordance with the provisions of such Transaction Document, then from and after such time, the Person from whom such units are to be repurchased shall no longer have any rights (including rights to Distributions hereunder) as a holder of such Units (other than the right to receive payment of such consideration in accordance with such Transaction Document), and such Units shall be deemed purchased in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof and the LLC or any other Person acquiring such Units shall be deemed the 47 owner and holder of such Units, whether or not the certificates therefor have been delivered as required by such Transaction Document. 15.25 DISTRIBUTIONS IN FULL. Immediately upon a Distribution of the full amount of the Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital, Class A Unreturned Capital or Class B Unreturned Capital in accordance with the terms herein in respect of a Senior Preferred Unit, Class A Preferred Unit or Class B Preferred Unit, respectively, the holder of any such unit shall no longer have any rights hereunder as a holder of such unit. The unit certificate representing any such unit shall be immediately delivered by its holder to the LLC and stamped "CANCELLED." * * * * * 48 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed or caused to be executed on their behalf this Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement as of the date first written above.

EX-10.5 47 a2139109zex-10_5.txt EXHIBIT 10.5 Exhibit 10.5 [EXECUTION COPY] UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT THIS UNIT PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made as of February 6, 2004, by and among Medtech/Denorex, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "COMPANY"), GTCR Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII"), GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII/B"), GTCR Co-Invest II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CO-INVEST" and together with GTCR Fund VIII, GTCR Fund VIII/B and any investment fund managed by GTCR Golder Rauner II, L.L.C. or GTCR Golder Rauner, L.L.C. that at any time executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement, the "GTCR PURCHASERS") and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (as defined herein). The GTCR Purchasers and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers are collectively referred to herein as the "PURCHASERS" and each individually as a "PURCHASER". Except as otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein are defined in SECTION 6 hereof. The parties hereto agree as follows: Section 1. AUTHORIZATION AND CLOSING. A. AUTHORIZATION OF THE SECURITIES. The Company shall authorize the issuance and sale to the Purchasers of up to 245,000 of its Class B Preferred Units (the "CLASS B PREFERRED UNITS"), and up to 50,000,000 of its Common Units (the "COMMON UNITS"), each having the rights and preferences set forth in EXHIBIT B attached hereto. The Class B Preferred Units and the Common Units are collectively referred to herein as the "SECURITIES." B. PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES. (a) At the Initial Closing (as defined below), the Company shall sell to the GTCR Purchasers and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the GTCR Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 48,574,428 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit and an aggregate of 97,363.508 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit. Each GTCR Purchaser shall purchase the percentage of such Securities set forth next to such GTCR Purchaser's name on the signature page attached hereto by payment of the aggregate purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is designated by the Company. In exchange therefor, each GTCR Purchaser shall receive from the Company the certificate(s) representing the Securities purchased by such GTCR Purchaser. (b) At the Initial Closing (as defined below), the Company shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, an aggregate of 1,425,572 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit and an aggregate of 2,857.443 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit. Each TCW/Crescent Purchaser shall purchase such Securities by payment of the aggregate purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is designated by the Company. In exchange therefor, each TCW/Crescent Purchaser shall receive from the Company the certificate(s) representing the 1 Securities purchased by such TCW/Crescent Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Securities which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers are collectively purchasing hereunder shall be allocated among the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Purchaser's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Purchaser Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto. (c) The initial closing of the purchase and sale of the Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (the "INITIAL CLOSING") shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 200 E. Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois at 10:00 a.m. on the date hereof. (d) The Company has been organized for the purpose of owning a company or companies in the consumer products industry. In addition to the $102,220,951 invested by the GTCR Purchasers on the Initial Closing Date pursuant to SECTION 1.B(a) above, the GTCR Purchasers intend to provide up to $144,779,049 in equity financing to the Company as the equity portion of the debt and equity financing necessary to fund such business(es), in each case as approved by the Board of Managers of the Company (the "BOARD") and the GTCR Purchasers (an "APPROVED USE"). The GTCR Purchasers' obligation to purchase any Securities pursuant to this SECTION 1.B will be conditioned on the Company's not being in default under any of its material agreements, adequate debt financing being available to fund any proposed acquisition or other Approved Use on terms satisfactory to the GTCR Purchasers, and the Company's operations and the acquisition or other Approved Use being satisfactory to the GTCR Purchasers. In order to implement the foregoing, the GTCR Purchasers may purchase from time to time after the Initial Closing, upon the written request of the Board in connection with an Approved Use, up to an aggregate of 144,779.049 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit (as adjusted from time to time as a result of unit dividends, unit splits, recapitalizations and similar events) (each such purchase, a "SUBSEQUENT CLOSING"). For any Subsequent Closing, each GTCR Purchaser shall purchase the percentage of such Securities set forth next to such GTCR Purchaser's name on the signature page attached hereto by payment of the aggregate purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as is designated by the Company. In exchange therefor, each GTCR Purchaser shall receive from the Company the certificate(s) representing the Securities purchased by such GTCR Purchaser. Each Subsequent Closing shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 200 E. Randolph Drive, Chicago, Illinois at 10:00 a.m. on such date as may be mutually agreeable to the Company and the GTCR Purchasers. At the time of any Subsequent Closing, the GTCR Purchasers shall be entitled to receive, and the Company shall be obligated to deliver, satisfactory representations and warranties and all other information and documentation as the GTCR Purchasers may reasonably request. (e) TCW/CRESCENT SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by .02851 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; provided that if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers choose not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units 2 they are entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, they may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers do not purchase shares of Class B Preferred Units, the GTCR Purchasers shall have the right to purchase from the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that the TCW/Crescent Purchasers would have been entitled to invest had the TCW/Crescent Purchasers participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $7,127,858 (i.e., the TCW/Crescent Purchasers' total committed equity) (the "Ratio"). The Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be.

"Fair Market Value" for purposes of this Section 1.B(e) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in Section 6 hereof. (iii) The purchase price for each Common Unit repurchased pursuant to this Section 1.B(e) will be $0.10 per unit (each as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent unit splits, unit dividends and other recapitalizations). (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to the this Section 1.B(e) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each GTCR Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(c) Upon the request of a Purchaser, the Company shall promptly supply to such Purchaser or its prospective transferees all information regarding the Company required to be delivered in connection with a transfer pursuant to Rule 144A of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

No other course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Securities or any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under the Certificate of Formation shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any such holders. For purposes of this Agreement, Securities held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed to be outstanding. E. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All representations and warranties contained herein or made in writing by any party in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, regardless of any investigation made by a Purchaser or on its behalf. F. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto whether so expressed or not. In addition, and whether or not any express assignment has been made, the provisions of this Agreement that are for each Purchaser's benefit as a purchaser 21 or holder of Securities are also for the benefit of, and enforceable by, any subsequent holder of such Securities.

H. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. I. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. J. DELIVERY BY FACSIMILE. This Agreement, the agreements referred to herein, and each other agreement or instrument entered into in connection herewith or therewith or contemplated hereby or thereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument, each other party hereto or thereto shall reexecute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of a facsimile machine to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of a facsimile machine as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

The Delaware Limited Liability Company Act shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its securityholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement and the exhibits and schedules hereto shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. M. MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

NOW, THEREFORE, effective immediately prior to the consummation of the Acquisition (with respect to the amendments provided herein) or simultaneous to the consummation of the Acquisition (with respect to the purchase of Class B Preferred Units described herein), the undersigned, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: AMENDMENT PROVISIONS 1. Each reference, if any, in the Agreement to any of the entities identified below shall be deemed a reference to such entity's new name, as indicated: (a) Medtech/Denorex, LLC n/k/a Prestige International Holdings, LLC; (b) SNS Household Holdings, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Household Holdings, Inc.; (c) SNS Household Brands, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Household Brands, Inc.; (d) Medtech Acquisition Holdings, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Products Holdings, Inc.; (e) Medtech Acquisition, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Brands, Inc.; (f) Medtech/Denorex Management, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Brands, Inc., as successor by merger; (g) Denorex Acquisition Holdings, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Personal Care Holdings, Inc.; and (h) Denorex Acquisition, Inc. n/k/a Prestige Personal Care, Inc. 2. The following defined terms (and related definitions) shall be added to the Agreement: (a) "GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS" means GTCR Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership. (b) "PARTICIPATING PURCHASERS" means, with respect to any Subsequent Closing, the Purchasers who participate in such Subsequent Closing as provided herein. (c) "WARRANT AGREEMENT" means the Warrant Agreement dated as of February 6, 2004, by and among the Company, GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (as defined therein). 3. The definitions for each of the following defined terms in the Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and amended and restated as follows: (a) "PURCHASERS" means the GTCR Purchasers, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners (and each individually a "PURCHASER"). 4. The last sentence of Section 1.B(b) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and restated as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Securities which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers are collectively purchasing hereunder (or which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees) are collectively selling pursuant to the repurchase provisions hereunder) shall be allocated among the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Purchaser's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Purchaser Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto. 5. Sections 1.B(e)(i), (ii) and (iv) of the Agreement shall be deleted in their entirety and amended and restated as follows: (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by 0.0278 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; PROVIDED THAT, if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers choose not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units they are entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, they may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. 2 (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers do not purchase Class B Preferred Units, the Participating Purchasers with respect to such Subsequent Closing shall have the right to purchase from the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that the TCW/Crescent Purchasers would have been entitled to invest had the TCW/Crescent Purchasers participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $6,945,918 (i.e., the TCW/Crescent Purchasers' total committed equity) (the "TCW/CRESCENT PURCHASERS' RATIO"). The TCW/Crescent Purchasers' Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such right to purchase in favor of the Participating Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the Purchasers at least three (3) business days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) business days after such Subsequent Closing, (ii) shall not, under any circumstances, permit the Participating Purchasers to purchase any Common Units held by TCW/Crescent Purchasers or their transferees as a result of the exercise of the TCW Warrants (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) and (iii) shall, if the Participating Purchasers elect to purchase an aggregate number of Common Units under this SECTION 1.B(e) greater than the number determined to be available for purchase in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 1.B(e), then the available Common Units shall be allocated among the Participating Purchasers on a pro rata basis consistent with each such Participating Purchaser's portion of the investment made pursuant to such Subsequent Closing. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this SECTION 1.B(e) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in SECTION 6 hereof. (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(e) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each Participating Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Participating Purchasers will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. 3 6. A new Section 1.B(f) shall be added to the Agreement as follows: (f) GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. (i) In connection with each Subsequent Closing, GTCR Capital Partners may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase a number of Class B Preferred Units equal to the total number of Class B Preferred Units being purchased at such Subsequent Closing multiplied by 0.0255 and on the same terms and conditions as the GTCR Purchasers; PROVIDED THAT, if GTCR Capital Partners chooses not to purchase all of the Class B Preferred Units it is entitled to purchase at any Subsequent Closing, it may not purchase Class B Preferred Units at such Subsequent Closing or at any Subsequent Closing thereafter. (ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which GTCR Capital Partners does not purchase Class B Preferred Units, the Participating Purchasers with respect to such Subsequent Closing shall have the right to purchase from GTCR Capital Partners and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that GTCR Capital Partners would have been entitled to invest had GTCR Capital Partners participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $6,381,314 (i.e., GTCR Capital Partners' total committed equity) (the "GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS' RATIO"). The GTCR Capital Partners' Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by GTCR Capital Partners and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing. Such product will then be adjusted to give effect to any change in the Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries between the date hereof and the date immediately preceding such Subsequent Closing before giving effect to such Subsequent Closing by dividing such product by the multiple of such increase in Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries or by 1 minus the percentage decrease in such Fair Market Value of the Company and its Subsidiaries, as the case may be. Such right to purchase in favor of the Participating Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if GTCR Capital Partners (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the Purchasers at least three (3) business days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) business days after such Subsequent Closing and (ii) shall, if the Participating Purchasers elect to purchase an aggregate number of Common Units under this SECTION 1.B(f) greater than the number determined to be available for purchase in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 1.B(f), then the available Common Units shall be allocated among the Participating Purchasers on a pro rata basis consistent with each such Participating Purchaser's portion of the investment made pursuant to such Subsequent Closing. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this SECTION 1.B(f) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in SECTION 6 hereof. 4 (iii) The purchase price for each Common Unit repurchased pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(f) will be $0.10 per unit (each as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent unit splits, unit dividends and other recapitalizations). (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(f) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to GTCR Capital Partners in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice. Each Participating Purchaser will pay for the Common Units to be purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Participating Purchasers will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. 7. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Transaction Documents shall be such document as amended from time to time pursuant to the terms thereof. 8. Any notices sent to Kirkland & Ellis LLP pursuant to the terms of the Agreement shall be sent to the attention of Kevin R. Evanich, P.C. and Christopher J. Greeno. 9. The PURCHASER NOTICE SCHEDULE attached to the Agreement shall be replaced and superseded in its entirety by the PURCHASER NOTICE SCHEDULE attached hereto. PURCHASE PROVISIONS 10. Pursuant to Section 1.B(d) of the Agreement (as amended pursuant to this Amendment and Supplement), the Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Purchasers on the date hereof of 58,179.250 Class B Preferred Units, having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement. 11.

The Subsequent Closing contemplated by Section 11 above shall occur in connection with, and concurrent with, the consummation of the Acquisition. At such Subsequent Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser one or more unit certificates evidencing the Class B Preferred Units to be purchased by such Purchaser, registered in such Purchaser's name, upon payment of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as designated by the Company. 5 13. As a material inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Class B Preferred Units, the Company hereby represents and warrants to the Purchasers that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and all other agreements contemplated hereby to which the Company is a party have been duly authorized by the Company. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Amendment and Supplement, the offering, sale and issuance of the Class B Preferred Units hereunder and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company, do not and shall not (i) conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, (ii) constitute a default under, (iii) result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon the equity securities or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to, (iv) give any third party the right to modify, terminate or accelerate any obligation under, (v) result in a violation of, or (vi) require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to any court or administrative or governmental body pursuant to, the LLC Agreement or the Certificate of Formation or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable governing documents) of any of the Company's Subsidiaries, or any law, statute, rule or regulation to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is subject, or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound.

The last sentence of Section 1.B(b) of the Agreement shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and restated as follows: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate amount of Securities which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers or TCW/Crescent Lenders, as the case may be, are collectively purchasing hereunder (or which the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (or their transferees) or the TCW/Crescent Lenders (or their transferees), as the case may be, are collectively selling pursuant to the repurchase provisions hereunder) shall be allocated among the TCW/Crescent Purchasers or TCW/Crescent Lenders, as the case may be, in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Purchaser's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Purchaser Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto or in accordance with the allocation percentage opposite each TCW/Crescent Lender's name under the heading "TCW/Crescent Lender Allocations" on the "Schedule of TCW/Crescent Allocations" attached hereto, as the case may be. 4. The heading of Section 1.B(e) shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and restated as follows: (e) TCW/CRESCENT PURCHASERS SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS. 5. In Section 1.B(e)(i) of the Agreement, the number "0.0278" shall be deleted in its entirety and amended and replaced with the number "0.0537". 6.

A new Section 1.B(g) shall be added to the Agreement as follows: (g) TCW/CRESCENT LENDERS SUBSEQUENT CLOSINGS.

(ii) In connection with any Subsequent Closing in which the TCW/Crescent Lenders do not purchase Class B Preferred Units, the Participating Purchasers with respect to such Subsequent Closing shall have the right to purchase from the TCW/Crescent Lenders and transferees a number of Common Units. The number of Common Units to be purchased hereunder will be determined by calculating the amount that the TCW/Crescent Lenders would have been entitled to invest had the TCW/Crescent Lenders participated in such Subsequent Closing and dividing that amount by $833,286 (i.e., the TCW/Crescent Lenders' total committed equity) (the "TCW/CRESCENT LENDERS' RATIO"). The TCW/Crescent Lenders' Ratio will then be multiplied by the number of Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Lenders and its transferees immediately prior to such Subsequent Closing.

Such right to purchase in favor of the Participating Purchasers (i) must be exercised on the date of the Subsequent Closing if the TCW/Crescent Lenders (or their transferees, as the case may be) have notified the Purchasers at least three (3) business days prior to such Subsequent Closing that they do not intend to participate in such Subsequent Closing or otherwise within five (5) business days after such Subsequent Closing, (ii) shall not, under any circumstances, permit the Participating Purchasers to purchase any Common Units held by the TCW/Crescent Lenders or their transferees which were initially purchased hereunder by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers pursuant to SECTIONS 1.B(b) or 1.B(e) or the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions (as defined in the Second Amendment) and (iii) shall, if the Participating Purchasers elect to purchase an aggregate number of Common Units under this SECTION 1.B(g) greater than the number determined to be available for purchase in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 1.B(g), then the available Common Units shall be allocated among the Participating Purchasers on a pro rata basis consistent with each such Participating Purchaser's portion of the investment made pursuant to such Subsequent Closing. "Fair Market Value" for purposes of this SECTION 1.B(g) shall be the fair market value of all equity of the Company using the methodology procedures set forth in the definition of Fair Market Value in SECTION 6 hereof. 3 (iii) The purchase price for each Common Unit repurchased pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(g) will be $0.10 per unit (each as proportionately adjusted for all subsequent unit splits, unit dividends and other recapitalizations). (iv) The closing of the purchase of the Common Units pursuant to this SECTION 1.B(g) shall take place on the date designated in a notice given to the TCW/Crescent Lenders in accordance herewith, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of such notice.

Immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, for an aggregate purchase price of $4,380,787, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners, and the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, the following Securities: (i) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Fund VIII, and GTCR Fund VIII shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 3,454.338 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and 1,127,455 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit; (ii) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Fund VIII/B, and GTCR Fund VIII/B shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 606.220 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon and 197,863 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit; (iii) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Co-Invest, and GTCR Co-Invest shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 18.437 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon and 6,018 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit; and (iv) the TCW/Crescent Purchasers shall purchase from GTCR Capital Partners, and GTCR Capital Partners shall sell to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers, 109.980 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit PLUS the Class B Unpaid Yield thereon and 35,896 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit.

The transactions described in this Section 11 are referred to herein as the "TCW INCREMENTAL CO-INVEST TRANSACTIONS". 12. The closing of the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions (the "SUPPLEMENTAL CLOSING") shall occur immediately following the consummation of the Acquisition and 4 simultaneous with the effectiveness of the amendments described in this Amendment and Supplement. At the Supplemental Closing, the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners shall deliver to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers the unit certificates evidencing the Class B Preferred Units and Common Units to be purchased by the TCW/Crescent Purchasers upon payment of the purchase price thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as designated by the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners, as applicable. 13. As of the date of this Amendment and Supplement, each of the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units being sold by such Person to the TCW/Crescent Purchasers at the Supplemental Closing (such Person's "APPLICABLE SECURITIES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in the Transaction Documents, each of the GTCR Purchasers and GTCR Capital Partners owns its Applicable Securities free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, security interests, or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). Upon the consummation of the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions, the TCW/Crescent Purchasers will receive good and valid title to such Person's Applicable Securities, free and clear of all Liens other than as provided pursuant to the Transaction Documents and applicable securities laws. 14. Each of the TCW/Crescent Purchasers hereby represents that it is acquiring the Class B Preferred Units and Common Units pursuant to the TCW Incremental Co-Invest Transactions for its own account with the present intention of holding such securities for purposes of investment, and that it has no intention of selling such securities in a public distribution in violation of the federal securities laws or any applicable state securities laws.

The Tag-Along Securityholders may elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice to such GTCR Investor within 30 days after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice. If any Tag-Along Securityholders have elected to participate in such Transfer, the GTCR Investor and such Tag-Along Securityholders will be entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same terms, Securityholder Securities of the same type and class and in the same relative proportions (which proportions shall be determined on a unit for unit basis with respect to the Common Units and on the basis of the aggregate Class B Unreturned Capital (as defined in the LLC Agreement) with respect to the Class B Preferred Units) as the Securityholder Securities which are being Transferred, a number of units of each such class of Securityholder Securities equal to the product of (A) the quotient determined by dividing the number of units of each such class of Securityholder Securities owned by such Person by the aggregate number of outstanding units of such class of Securityholder Securities owned by the GTCR Investor and the Tag-Along Securityholders participating in such sale and (B) the number of units of each such class of Securityholder Securities to be sold in the contemplated Transfer. (b) The GTCR Investor(s) will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of the Tag-Along Securityholders in any contemplated Transfer, and the GTCR Investor(s) will not transfer any of its Securityholder Securities to the prospective transferee(s) unless (i) the prospective transferee(s) agrees to allow the participation of the Tag-Along Securityholders or (ii) the GTCR Investor(s) agree to purchase the number of such class of Securityholder Securities from the Tag-Along Securityholders that the Tag-Along Securityholders would have been entitled to sell pursuant to SECTION 1(a) for the consideration per unit to be paid to the GTCR Investor(s) by the prospective transferee(s). (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other provision of this Agreement, the restrictions set forth in this SECTION 1 shall not apply to (i) any Transfer of less than 10% in the aggregate, of any class of Securityholder Securities held by any GTCR Investor to or among their Affiliates or any other Investor, (ii) any Transfer pursuant to Section 15.7 of the LLC Agreement in connection with the incorporation of the Company (to facilitate a Public Offering or otherwise) or (iii) a Public Sale; provided that the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Securityholder Securities after any Transfer pursuant to clause (i) and the transferee of such Securityholder Securities shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the Transfer of Securityholder Securities pursuant to clause (i) of the previous sentence, the transferees will deliver a written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee. 2 (d) The provisions of this SECTION 1 will not apply (i) to sales made in connection with an Approved Sale and (ii) to any Securityholder who is participating in a Sale of the Company and shall terminate upon the first to occur of (A) the consummation of a Sale of the Company and (B) the consummation of a Public Offering. 2.

The Sale Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of the prospective transferee(s), the number of units of Securityholder Securities to be transferred and the terms and conditions of the proposed transfer. Such Transferring Securityholder will not consummate any Transfer until 45 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Sale Notice Recipients, unless the parties to the Transfer have been finally determined pursuant to this SECTION 2 prior to the expiration of such 45-day period. (The date of the first to occur of such events is referred to herein as the "AUTHORIZATION DATE".) (b) The Company may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of such Securityholder Securities to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by delivering a written notice of such election to the Transferring Securityholder and the Sale Notice Recipients (other than the Company) within 20 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Company. If the Company has not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Securities to be transferred, the Sale Notice Recipients may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Securityholder Securities to be transferred upon the same terms and conditions as those set forth in the Sale Notice by giving written notice of such election to such Transferring Securityholder within 25 days after the Sale Notice has been given to the Sale Notice Recipients. If more than one Sale Notice Recipient elects to purchase the Securityholder Securities to be transferred, the units of Securityholder Securities to be sold shall be allocated among the Sale Notice Recipients pro rata according to the number of units of such class of Securityholders Securities owned by each Sale Notice Recipient on a fully diluted basis. If neither the Company nor the Sale Notice Recipients elects to purchase all of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Sale Notice, the Transferring Securityholder may transfer the Securityholder Securities specified in the Sale Notice at a price and on terms no more favorable to the transferee(s) thereof than specified in the Sale Notice during the 60-day period immediately following the Authorization Date. Any Securityholder Securities not Transferred within such 60-day period will be subject to the provisions of this SECTION 2 upon subsequent Transfer. The Company may pay the purchase price for such units by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by the Transferring Securityholder to the Company. (c) The restrictions of this SECTION 2 will not apply with respect to (i) any Transfer of Securityholder Securities by any Securityholder to or among its Affiliates or Family Group, (ii) any Transfer of Securityholder Securities to any Investor, (iii) a repurchase of Securityholder Securities by the Company or an exchange or conversion of the same pursuant to 3 the terms of any Senior Management Agreement, (iv) a Public Sale, (v) an Approved Sale (as defined in SECTION 4(a)), (vi) any pledge by an Investor to a trustee for the benefit of secured noteholders pursuant to documents relating to the financing of such Investor or (vii) in the case of any Securityholder Securities held by any TCW/Crescent Lender by virtue of the Warrants (including the Warrants), any Transfer of such Securityholder Securities to any Person substantially contemporaneous with the sale, transfer or disposition to such Person of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness held by such TCW/Crescent Lender; PROVIDED THAT, the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Securityholder Securities after any Transfer pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above and the transferee of such Securityholder Securities shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

(e) The restrictions set forth in this SECTION 2 shall continue with respect to each unit of Securityholder Securities until the earlier of (i) the date on which such unit of Securityholder Securities has been transferred in a Public Sale, (ii) the consummation of an Approved Sale, and (iii) the date on which such unit of Securityholder Securities has been transferred pursuant to this SECTION 2 (other than pursuant to SECTION 2(c) and other than a transfer to a Securityholder purchasing from a Transferring Securityholder pursuant to SECTION 2(b)). 3. PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS. (a) If after the date hereof the Company authorizes the issuance or sale of any preferred or common units or any securities convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for preferred or common units to (i) the GTCR Investors or (ii) any employees of the GTCR Investors or any entity directly or indirectly controlling or under common control with any of the GTCR Investors (each, a "GTCR ISSUANCE"), the Company shall offer to sell to each holder of Common Units (other than the GTCR Investors) (the "OTHER COMMON SECURITYHOLDERS"), at the same price and on the same terms, an amount of preferred or common units or such other securities equal to the PRODUCT of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the number of units of Common Units held by such Other Common Securityholders by (B) the total number of units of Common Units outstanding, in each case on a fully diluted basis AND (ii) the sum of the number of units of preferred or common units or such other securities to be issued in the GTCR Issuance plus the number of preferred or common units or such other securities which Other Common Securityholder have elected to purchase pursuant to SECTION 3(b) below. Each Other Common Securityholder shall be entitled to purchase such securities at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms as such securities are to be offered in the GTCR Issuance; PROVIDED that if the purchasers in the GTCR Issuance are required or permitted to also purchase other securities of the Company, the Other Common Securityholders exercising their rights pursuant to this SECTION 3 shall also be required or permitted, as the case may be, to purchase the same strip of securities (on the same terms and conditions) that the purchasers in the GTCR 4 Issuance are required or permitted to purchase, as the case may be. The purchase price for all securities to be offered to the Other Common Securityholders shall be payable in cash or, if permitted by the Company in its sole discretion, notes issued by such holders. It is understood by the parties hereto that the Company may proceed with the consummation of the GTCR Issuance prior to offering such securities to the Other Common Securityholders; provided that an Issuance Notice (as defined below) is delivered to each of the Other Common Securityholders in accordance with SECTION 3(b) below. (b) The Company shall deliver to each holder a written notice (each, an "ISSUANCE NOTICE") describing in reasonable detail the securities being offered, the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and such Other Common Securityholder's percentage allotment prior to the closing of the GTCR Issuance OR no later than 30 days thereafter.

If one or more Other Common Securityholders elects to purchase shares or other securities under this SECTION 3, the closing of such purchase shall occur no later than 30 days after receipt by the Company of such election. (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rights set forth in this SECTION 3 shall not apply to (i) pro rata issuances of equity securities (or securities convertible into or exchangeable for, or options to purchase, such equity securities) to all holders of Common Units, as a dividend on, subdivision of or other distribution in respect of, the Common Units, (ii) any issuances of Common Units or Class B Preferred Units to the GTCR Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, (iii) any sale by the Company of Common Units pursuant to any Dilution Repurchase Option (as defined in the Senior Management Agreements) or (iv) any issuances of Common Units or Class B Preferred Units upon the exercise of any Warrants issued to GTCR Capital Partners pursuant to the Warrant Agreement. (d) The rights set forth in this SECTION 3 shall continue with respect to each Securityholder Security until the earlier of (i) the transfer of such Securityholder Security in a Public Sale or (ii) the consummation of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering. 4. SALE OF THE COMPANY. (a) If the holders of the Required Interest (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) approve a Sale of the Company to a Person that is not an Affiliate of the GTCR Investors in a bona fide arms-length transaction (an "APPROVED SALE"), each holder of Securityholder Securities shall vote for, consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved Sale is structured as a (i) merger or consolidation, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall waive any dissenters' rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of Units, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall agree to sell all of his, her or its Securityholder Securities or rights to acquire Securityholder Securities on the terms and conditions approved by the Board and the holders of the Required Interest. Each holder of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Company. 5 (b) The obligations of the holders of Securityholder Securities with respect to the Approved Sale of the Company are subject to the terms of SECTION 5 below. (c) If either the Company or the holders of any class of Securityholder Securities enter into a negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the holders of Securityholder Securities (other than those qualifying as "accredited investors" under such Rule) will, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of Securityholder Securities appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company, the Company will pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if any holder of Securityholder Securities declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company such holder will, if required, appoint another purchaser representative, and such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed. (d) Holders of Securityholder Securities will bear their pro rata share (based upon the number of Common Units sold) of the costs of any sale of such Securityholder Securities pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are incurred for the benefit of all holders of Securityholder Securities and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. For purposes of this SECTION 4(d), costs incurred in exercising reasonable efforts to take all actions in connection with the consummation of an Approved Sale in accordance with SECTION 4(a) shall be deemed to be for the benefit of all holders of Securityholder Securities. Costs incurred by holders of Securityholder Securities on their own behalf will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder. 5. DISTRIBUTIONS UPON SALE OF THE COMPANY. In the event of an Approved Sale: (a) each Securityholder shall receive in exchange for the Securityholder Securities held by such Securityholder the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange that such Securityholder would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1 of the LLC Agreement; (b) each holder of then currently exercisable Warrants shall be given an opportunity to either (i) exercise such rights prior to the consummation of the Approved Sale and participate in such Approved Sale as holders of the Common Units and/or Class B Preferred Units obtained upon such exercise or (ii) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, receive in exchange for such Warrants consideration equal to the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange that such Securityholder would have received in respect of the Common Units and/or Class B Preferred Units underlying such Warrants if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1 of the LLC Agreement LESS the aggregate exercise price for such Common Units and/or Class B Preferred Units; and (c) each holder of Securityholder Securities shall be obligated to join on a pro rata basis (but not on a joint and several basis), based on, but not limited to, the share of the aggregate proceeds paid in such Sale of the Company, in any indemnification or other obligations that the Company's securityholders agree to provide in connection with such Sale of the Company (other than any such obligations that relate specifically to a particular holder of Securityholder Securities such as indemnification with respect to representations and warranties given by a holder regarding such holder's title to and ownership of Securityholder Securities). Each holder of Securityholder 6 Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the distribution of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange as reasonably requested by the Company. 6. INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY; PUBLIC OFFERING. In the event that the Board or the GTCR Investors approve the incorporation of the Company or a recapitalization, reorganization or exchange involving the exchange of equity securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries into securities that the Board and the GTCR Investors find acceptable, whether to facilitate an initial Public Offering or for other reasons that the Board or the GTCR Investors deem in the best interest of the Company (including, without limitation a reorganization of the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 15.7 of the LLC Agreement) (a "REORGANIZATION"), the holders of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Board or the GTCR Investors in connection with the consummation of such Reorganization, including, without limitation, consenting to, voting for and waiving any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights and participating in any exchange or other transaction required in connection with such Reorganization; provided that each holder of a class of Units shall receive a security having, in the aggregate, substantially the same rights, benefits, privileges and value as the Units previously held (other than differences based upon differences in the amount of yield accrued on such Units since their respective dates of issuance). In the event that the Board or the GTCR Investors approve an initial Public Offering, the holders of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Board or the GTCR Investors in connection with the consummation of such Public Offering, including, without limitation, compliance with the requirements of all laws and regulatory bodies that are applicable or that have jurisdiction over such Public Offering. In the event that such Public Offering is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the Company's capital structure would adversely affect the marketability of the offering, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall consent to and vote for a recapitalization, reorganization or exchange (each, a "RECAPITALIZATION") of any class of the Company's equity securities into securities that the managing underwriters, the Board and the GTCR Investors find acceptable and shall take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of such Recapitalization; provided that each holder of a class of Units shall receive the same type of security with the same value per unit (other than differences based upon differences in the amount of yield accrued on such Units since their respective dates of issuance). 7.

AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. Except as otherwise provided herein, no modification, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective against the Company or the Securityholders unless such modification, amendment or waiver is approved in writing by the Company and the holders of a majority of the Common Units; provided that no such amendment or modification that would adversely affect one class or group of holders of Securityholder Securities in a manner different than any other class or group of holders of Securityholder Securities shall be effective against such class or group of holders of Securityholder Securities without the prior written consent of at least a majority of such class or group adversely affected thereby; PROVIDED THAT, any material amendment of SECTIONS 2, 3 or 4 hereof which would adversely affect the holders of TCW/Crescent Securities in a manner different from the GTCR Investors (or which would materially benefit the GTCR Investors and not materially benefit the holders of TCW/Crescent Securities) shall also require the written consent of the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Securities. The failure of any party to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed as a waiver of such provisions and shall not affect the right of such party thereafter to enforce each and every provision of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. 15. SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. 17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company and its successors and assigns and the Securityholders and any subsequent holders of Securityholder Securities and the respective successors and assigns of each of them, so long as they hold Securityholder Securities. 12 18. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (including by means of telecopied signature pages) each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. 19. REMEDIES. The Company and each Securityholder shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach of the provisions of this Agreement and that the Company and each Securityholder may in its sole discretion apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief (without posting a bond or other security) in order to enforce or prevent any violation of the provisions of this Agreement. 20. NOTICES. Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, telecopied (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on a business day, and otherwise on the next business day, or mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the Company at the address set forth below and to any other recipient at the address indicated on the schedules hereto and to any subsequent holder of Securityholder Securities subject to this Agreement at such address as indicated by the Company's records, or at such address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

The Delaware Limited Liability Company Act shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its securityholders.

MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 23.

In order to induce (i) the GTCR Purchasers and TCW/Crescent Purchasers to enter into the Purchase Agreement, (ii) GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders to enter into the Warrant Agreement and (iii) the Executives to enter into the Senior Management Agreements, the LLC has agreed to provide the registration rights set forth in this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the closings under the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in SECTION 10 hereof. The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. DEMAND REGISTRATIONS. (a) REQUESTS FOR REGISTRATION. The Securityholders contemplate the organization of a corporation and reorganization or recapitalization of the LLC pursuant to SECTION 15.7 of the LLC Agreement. The corporate successor to the LLC shall be referred to herein as the "COMPANY." At any time after the organization of the Company, the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration ("LONG-FORM REGISTRATIONS"), or on Form S-2 or S-3 (including pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act) or any similar short-form registration ("SHORT-FORM REGISTRATIONS"), if available. In addition, subject to SECTION 1(c), no earlier than 180 days after the Company has completed its initial public offering, the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or part of their Registrable Securities in a Short-Form Registration, if available. All registrations requested pursuant to this SECTION 1(a) are referred to herein as "DEMAND REGISTRATIONS." Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered and the anticipated per share or per unit price range for such offering. Within ten days after receipt of any such request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 15 days after the receipt of the Company's notice. (b) INVESTOR LONG-FORM REGISTRATIONS. The holders of Investor Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Long-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in SECTION 5). All Long-Form Registrations shall be underwritten registrations. (c) INVESTOR SHORT-FORM REGISTRATIONS. In addition to the Long-Form Registrations provided pursuant to SECTION 1(b), the holders of Investor Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request an unlimited number of Short-Form Registrations in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses and the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request one (1) Short-Form Registration, if available, in which the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses. Demand Registrations shall be Short-Form Registrations whenever the Company is permitted to use any applicable short form. After the Company has become subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make Short-Form Registrations on Form S-3 available for the sale of Registrable Securities. If the Company, pursuant to the request of the holder(s) of a majority of Investor Registrable Securities, is qualified to and has filed with the Securities Exchange Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act on Form S-3 pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the "REQUIRED REGISTRATION"), then the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Required Registration to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as practicable after filing, and, once effective, the Company shall cause such Required Registration to remain effective for a period ending on the earlier of (i) the date on which all Investor Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Required Registration, or (ii) the date as of which the holder(s) of Investor Registrable Securities 2 (assuming such holder(s) are affiliates of the Company) are able to sell all of the Investor Registrable Securities then held by them within a ninety-day period in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In the case of a Short-Form Registration requested by the holders of a majority of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities pursuant to this SECTION 1(c), a registration shall count as the permitted Short-Form Registration only if the parties requesting such registration are able to register and sell at least 75% of their Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration OR if an aggregate amount of TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities equal to at least 75% of the TCW/Crescent Registrable Securities outstanding as of the date hereof has been registered and sold (whether under such Short-Form Registration or one or more prior registered offerings). (d) PRIORITY ON DEMAND REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall not include in any Demand Registration any securities that are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in such registration. If a Demand Registration is an underwritten offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of Registrable Securities and, if permitted hereunder, other securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number of Registrable Securities and other securities, if any, that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration, prior to the inclusion of any securities that are not Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included that, in the opinion of such underwriters, can be sold in an orderly manner within the price range of such offering, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the amount of Registrable Securities owned by each such holder. (e) RESTRICTIONS ON LONG-FORM REGISTRATIONS. The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Long-Form Registration within 90 days after the effective date of a previous Long-Form Registration or a previous registration in which the holders of Registrable Securities were given piggyback rights pursuant to SECTION 2 and in which there was no reduction in the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included. The Company may postpone for up to 180 days the filing or the effectiveness of a registration statement for a Demand Registration if the Company and the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities agree that such Demand Registration would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to acquire financing, engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business), or engage in any merger, consolidation, tender offer, reorganization, or similar transaction; provided that, in such event, the holders of Investor Registrable Securities initially requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with such registration. The Company may delay a Demand Registration hereunder only once in any twelve-month period. (f) SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. The holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in any Demand Registration shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to administer the offering. 3 (g) OTHER REGISTRATION RIGHTS. Except as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall not grant to any Persons the right to request the Company to register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options, or rights convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities, without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities. (h) OBLIGATIONS OF HOLDERS OF REGISTRABLE SECURITIES. Subject to the Company's obligations under SECTION 4(e) hereof, each holder of Registrable Securities shall cease using any prospectus after receipt of written notice from the Company of the happening of any event as a result of which such prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. 2. PIGGYBACK REGISTRATIONS. (a) RIGHT TO PIGGYBACK. Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities (including any proposed registration of the Company's securities by any third party) under the Securities Act (other than (i) pursuant to a Demand Registration, to which SECTION 1 is applicable, (ii) in connection with an initial public offering of the Company's equity securities (other than an initial public offering in which any holder of Registrable Securities is entitled to participate), or (iii) in connection with registrations on Form S-4, S-8 or any successor or similar forms) and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION"), the Company shall give prompt written notice (and in any event within three business days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand registration rights other than under this Agreement) to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to effect such a registration and shall include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 20 days after the receipt of the Company's notice. (b) PIGGYBACK EXPENSES. The Registration Expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities shall be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations. (c) PRIORITY ON PRIMARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares or units owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included in such registration. (d) PRIORITY ON SECONDARY REGISTRATIONS. If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities other than holders of Registrable Securities (it being understood that secondary registrations on behalf of holders of Registrable Securities are addressed in SECTION 1 above rather than this SECTION 2(d)), and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that, in their opinion, the number 4 of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities to be included in such registration, then the Company shall include in such registration (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the holders requesting such registration, (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such Registrable Securities on the basis of the number of shares or units owned by each such holder, and (iii) third, the other securities requested to be included in such registration. (e) SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering, then the selection of investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering must be approved by the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in such Piggyback Registration. Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. (f) OTHER REGISTRATIONS. If the Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1 or pursuant to this Section 2, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or abandoned, then, unless such previous registration is a Required Registration, the Company shall not file or cause to be effected any other registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the Securities Act (except on Form S-8 or any successor form), whether on its own behalf or at the request of any holder or holders of such securities, until a period of at least 180 days has elapsed from the effective date of such previous registration. 3. HOLDBACK AGREEMENTS. (a) To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder of Registrable Securities shall not effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options, or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, (i) in the case of an initial public offering, during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement relating to such initial public offering (or such shorter period as agreed to by the underwriters managing such registered public offering) or (ii) in all cases other than an initial public offering, during the seven days prior to and the 90-day period beginning on the effective date of the registration statement relating to any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (or such shorter period as agreed to by the underwriters managing such registered public offering), in each case in which Registrable Securities are included (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree. (b) The Company (i) shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities, options, or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and during the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any underwritten Demand Registration or any underwritten Piggyback Registration (except as part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the 5 registered public offering otherwise agree, and (ii) to the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, shall cause each holder of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for equity securities, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of any such securities during such period (except as part of such underwritten registration, if otherwise permitted), unless the underwriters managing the registered public offering otherwise agree. 4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company shall as expeditiously as possible: (a) prepare and, within 60 days after the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company, file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective (provided that, before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company shall furnish to the counsel selected by the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents shall be subject to the review and comment of such counsel); (b) notify in writing each holder of Registrable Securities of the effectiveness of each registration statement filed hereunder and prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period of not less than 180 days (or, if such registration statement relates to an underwritten offering, such longer period as in the opinion of counsel for the underwriters a prospectus is required by law to be delivered in connection with sales of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer) and comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement; (c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus), and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; (d) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller of Registrable Securities to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller of Registrable 6 Securities (provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this SECTION 4(d), (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction); (e) promptly notify in writing each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made, and, at the request of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, the Company shall promptly prepare and furnish to each such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; (f) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and, if not so listed, to be listed on the NASD automated quotation system and, if listed on the NASD automated quotation system, use its commercially reasonable efforts to secure designation of all such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement as a NASDAQ "national market system security" within the meaning of Rule 11Aa2-1 of the Securities and Exchange Commission or, failing that, to secure NASDAQ authorization for such Registrable Securities; (g) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement; (h) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities (including effecting a unit split or a combination of units); (i) make available for inspection by any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement, and any attorney, accountant, or other agent retained by any such underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees, and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such underwriter, attorney, accountant, or agent in connection with such registration statement and assist and, at the request of any participating underwriter, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such officers or directors to participate in presentations to prospective purchasers; (j) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company's first full calendar quarter after the 7 effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; (k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any equity securities included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order; (l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities; (m) obtain one or more cold comfort letters, dated the effective date of such registration statement (and, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), from the Company's independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities being sold in such registered offering reasonably request (provided that such Investor Registrable Securities constitute at least 10% of the securities covered by such registration statement); and (n) provide a legal opinion of the Company's outside counsel, dated the effective date of such registration statement (or, if such registration includes an underwritten public offering, dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement), with respect to the registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included therein (including the preliminary prospectus) and such other documents relating thereto in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by legal opinions of such nature. 5. REGISTRATION EXPENSES. (a) Subject to SECTION 5(b) below, all expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Agreement, including all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, travel expenses, filing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, fees and disbursements of custodians, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and fees and disbursements of all independent certified public accountants, underwriters including, if necessary, a "qualified independent underwriter" within the meaning of the rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (in each case, excluding discounts and commissions), and other Persons retained by the Company or by holders of Investor Registrable Securities or their affiliates on behalf of the Company (all such expenses being herein called "REGISTRATION EXPENSES"), shall be borne as provided in this Agreement, except that the Company shall, in any event, pay its internal expenses (including all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties), the expense of any annual audit or quarterly review, the expense of any liability insurance, and the expenses and fees for listing the securities to be registered on each 8 securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed or on the NASD automated quotation system (or any successor or similar system). (b) In connection with each Demand Registration and each Piggyback Registration, the Company shall reimburse (i) the holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of a majority of the Investor Registrable Securities included in such registration and (ii) the TCW/Crescent Lenders included in such registration up to $15,000.00 for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel. (c) To the extent Registration Expenses are not required to be paid by the Company, each holder of securities included in any registration hereunder shall pay those Registration Expenses allocable to the registration of such holder's securities so included, and any Registration Expenses not so allocable shall be borne by all sellers of securities included in such registration in proportion to the aggregate selling price of the securities to be so registered. 6. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its officers, directors, agents, and employees, and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof), whether joint and several or several, together with reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) to which any such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise (collectively, "LOSSES") caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon, or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in (A) any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or (B) any application or other document or communication (in this SECTION 6, collectively called an "APPLICATION") executed by or on behalf of the Company or based upon written information furnished by or on behalf of the Company filed in any jurisdiction in order to qualify any securities covered by such registration under the "BLUE SKY" or securities laws thereof or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and the Company will reimburse such holder and each such director, officer, and controlling Person for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Losses result from, arise out of, are based upon, or relate to an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement, or omission or alleged omission, made in such registration statement, any such prospectus, or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application, in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information prepared and furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company shall indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors, and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same 9 extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities. (b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall indemnify and hold harmless the other holders of Registrable Securities and the Company, and their respective officers, directors, agents, and employees, and each other Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any Losses caused by, resulting from, arising out of, based upon, or relating to (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any application, or (ii) any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is made in such registration statement, any such prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or in any application in reliance upon and in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein, and such holder will reimburse the Company and each such other indemnified party for any legal or any other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be individual, not joint and several, for each holder and shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement. (c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that the failure to give prompt notice shall not impair any Person's right to indemnification hereunder to the extent such failure has not prejudiced the indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed and diligently undertaken, then the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. (d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract, and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director, or controlling Person of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of securities. 10 (e) If the indemnification provided for in this SECTION 6 is unavailable to or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under the provisions above in respect to any Losses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Losses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other hand or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, then in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative fault referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative benefit of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other in connection with the statement or omissions which resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the Company bear to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) to the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the sellers of Registrable Securities and any other sellers participating in the registration statement on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the sellers of Registrable Securities or other sellers participating in the registration statement and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. (f) The Company and the sellers of Registrable Securities agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this SECTION 6 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the sellers of Registrable Securities were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in SECTION 6(e) above. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in SECTION 6(e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this SECTION 6, no seller of Registrable Securities shall be required to contribute pursuant to this SECTION 6 any amount in excess of the sum of (i) any amounts paid pursuant to SECTION 6(b) above and (ii) the net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement filed pursuant hereto. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 7. PARTICIPATION IN UNDERWRITTEN REGISTRATIONS. (a) No Person may participate in any underwritten registration hereunder unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements (including pursuant to the terms of any over-allotment or "GREEN SHOE" option requested by the managing underwriter(s), provided that no holder of Registrable Securities will 11 be required to sell more than the number of Registrable Securities that such holder has requested the Company to include in any registration) and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements, and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters (other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of distribution) or to undertake any indemnification obligations to the Company or the underwriters with respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 6 hereof. (b) Each Person that is participating in any registration hereunder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in SECTION 4(e) above, such Person will immediately discontinue the disposition of its Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement until such Person's receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus as contemplated by SECTION 4(e). In the event the Company shall give any such notice, the applicable time period mentioned in SECTION 4(b) during which a Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by the number of days during the period from and including the date of the giving of such notice pursuant to this SECTION 7(b) to and including the date when each seller of a Registrable Security covered by such registration statement shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by SECTION 4(e). 8. ADDITIONAL SECURITYHOLDERS. In connection with the issuance of any additional equity securities of the Company, the Company, with the consent of GTCR Fund VIII, may permit such Person to become a party to this Agreement and succeed to all of the rights and obligations of a holder of any particular category of Registrable Securities under this Agreement by obtaining an executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and, upon such execution, such Person shall for all purposes be a holder of such category of Registrable Securities and party to this Agreement. 9. SUBSIDIARY PUBLIC OFFERING. If, after an initial public offering of the equity securities of a Subsidiary of the LLC, the LLC distributes securities of such Subsidiary to members of the LLC, then the rights and obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Subsidiary, and the LLC or the Company, as applicable, shall cause such Subsidiary to comply with such Subsidiary's obligations under this Agreement. 10. CURRENT PUBLIC INFORMATION.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in order to obtain the benefit of this Agreement, any subsequent holder of Registrable Securities must execute a counterpart to this Agreement, thereby agreeing to be bound by the terms hereof. (f) SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. (g) COUNTERPARTS.

BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein and other documents of even date herewith embody the complete agreement and understanding among the parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, 17 agreements or representations by or among the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way. (m) NO STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. * * * * * 18 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Registration Rights Agreement as of the date first written above.

O'Hara (each individually an "INITIAL SECURITYHOLDER" and, collectively, the "INITIAL SECURITYHOLDERS") and (iv) each other Person (other than the Company, GTCR or any of their respective designees) who, at any time after the date hereof, acquires Senior Preferred Units of the Company (the "Senior Preferred Units") in accordance with the terms hereof and executes a counterpart of this Agreement or otherwise agrees to be bound by this Agreement (each, a "SUBSEQUENT SECURITYHOLDER" and, collectively, the "SUBSEQUENT SECURITYHOLDERS"). Each of the Initial Securityholders and the Subsequent Securityholders are sometimes referred to herein individually as a "SECURITYHOLDER" and collectively as the "SECURITYHOLDERS." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are defined in SECTION 8 hereof; PROVIDED THAT, if any term is not defined herein, then such term shall have the same meaning assigned to it in the LLC Agreement. The Initial Securityholders will acquire Senior Preferred Units pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2004 (the "STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), by and among the Company, the Initial Securityholders, The Spic and Span Company and the other parties named therein (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time pursuant to its terms). The Company, GTCR and the Securityholders desire to enter into this Agreement for the purposes, among others, of limiting the manner and terms by which the Senior Preferred Units may be transferred and providing the Company, GTCR and the holders of Senior Preferred Units with certain other rights and obligations related thereto. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement by the Initial Securityholders is a condition to the Company and its Subsidiary's obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: 1. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER. (a) No Securityholder shall Transfer directly or indirectly any interest in Securityholder Securities except pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement. (b) At least 30 days prior to making any Transfer of any Securityholder Securities, any Securityholder desiring to make such Transfer (the "TRANSFERRING SECURITYHOLDER") will give written notice (the "OFFER NOTICE") to the Company and GTCR. The Offer Notice will disclose in reasonable detail the proposed number of Securityholder Securities to be Transferred, the proposed terms and conditions of the Transfer and the identity of the prospective transferee(s) (if known). First, GTCR (and/or its designees) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on the terms specified therein by delivering a written notice of such election to the Transferring Securityholder and the Company within 20 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice. If GTCR (and its designees) have not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice, the Company (and/or its designees) may elect to purchase all (but not less than all) of such remaining Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice by delivering written notice of such election to the Transferring Securityholder within 25 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If GTCR, the Company and/or any of their respective designees have elected to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice from the Transferring Securityholder, the Transfer of such Securityholder Securities shall be consummated as soon as practical after the delivery of the election notice(s) to the Transferring Securityholder, but in any event within 45 days after delivery of the Offer Notice. If GTCR, the Company and their respective designees have not elected to purchase all of the Securityholder Securities specified in the Offer Notice, the Transferring Securityholder may, within 120 days after the delivery of the Offer Notice, Transfer such Securityholder Securities to any transferee(s) approved in writing by the Board (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), at a price and on terms no more favorable to such transferee(s) than offered to GTCR and the Company in the Offer Notice; PROVIDED THAT the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Securityholder Securities after any Transfer pursuant to this sentence and each such transferee of such Securityholder Securities shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Subsequent Securityholder hereunder. Any Securityholder Securities not Transferred within such 120-day period shall be reoffered to GTCR and the Company under this SECTION 1(b) prior to any subsequent Transfer. The Company may pay all or any portion of the purchase price for such units by offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by the Transferring Securityholder or any of its Affiliates to the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Transfer of Securityholder Securities pursuant to this SECTION 1(b) (other than a Transfer to GTCR, the Company and/or their respective designees) be made for any consideration other than cash payable upon consummation of such Transfer, without the prior written consent of GTCR and the Company. (c) Transfers of Securityholder Securities for which the restrictions of this SECTION 1 shall not apply and which shall be otherwise permitted are Transfers (i) by any Securityholder to or among its Affiliates or Family Group and (ii) pursuant to (A) a Public Sale, (B) Section 15.7 of the LLC Agreement in connection with the incorporation of the Company (to facilitate a Public Offering or otherwise) or (C) SECTIONS 2 or 3 hereof; PROVIDED THAT, the restrictions contained in this Agreement will continue to be applicable to the Securityholder Securities after any Transfer pursuant to clause (i) above and each transferee of such Securityholder Securities shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as a Subsequent Securityholder hereunder. Upon the Transfer of Securityholder Securities pursuant to clause (i) of the previous sentence, the transferee will deliver a written notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the identity of such transferee. 2 (d) The restrictions set forth in this SECTION 1 shall continue with respect to each unit of Securityholder Securities until the date on which such unit of Securityholder Securities has been transferred in a Public Sale. 2. PUT RIGHT. (a) If a Liquidity Event is proposed to occur, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed Liquidity Event describing in reasonable detail the material terms and date of consummation thereof to each Securityholder not more than 45 days nor less than 15 days prior to the anticipated consummation date of such Liquidity Event, and the Company shall give each Securityholder prompt written notice of any material change thereafter in the terms or timing of such Liquidity Event. The Securityholder(s) holding a majority of the Senior Preferred Units may elect (the "PUT ELECTION"), subject to and in accordance with the terms of this SECTION 2, to require all of the Securityholders to sell, and the Company to purchase from such Securityholders, all (but not less than all) of the Senior Preferred Units then held by the Securityholders by delivering written notice of such Put Election (a "PUT EXERCISE NOTICE") to the Company on or prior to the tenth day after the Company delivers notice of such proposed Liquidity Event to the Securityholders. Upon receipt of a Put Exercise Notice, the Securityholders shall be obligated to sell, and the Company shall be obligated to purchase, all of the Senior Preferred Units then held by the Securityholders immediately prior to the consummation of such Liquidity Event. If the proposed Liquidity Event does not occur, the Put Election relating thereto shall be deemed null and void. (b) For any Put Election, the purchase price for each Senior Preferred Unit will be the SUM of the Senior Preferred Unreturned Capital (as defined in the LLC Agreement) and the Senior Preferred Unpaid Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement), in each case as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the consummation of the Liquidity Event. The Company will pay for the Senior Preferred Units to be purchased by it from each Securityholder pursuant to the Put Election by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by such Securityholder or any of its Affiliates to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by (i) a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds or (ii) if such purchase is being made prior to the date that is thirty months after the date hereof, at the option of the Company, the issuance to such Securityholder of an unsecured subordinated promissory note having an aggregate principal amount equal to the purchase price, bearing interest at a rate equal to 8% per annum (payable quarterly in cash), and having a maturity date no later than the third anniversary of the date of the applicable Liquidity Event; PROVIDED that, in the event that the issuance by the Company of the foregoing described promissory note would create adverse tax consequences for the Company or its members, the Company may in lieu thereof cause one or more of its Subsidiaries to issue such promissory note, together with unsecured subordinated guaranties in respect of such promissory note from each of the Company's other domestic Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foreoing, in the event any such purchase is being made upon consummation of an Approved Sale pursuant to which all or any portion of the consideration to be received by the Company's other equityholders in connection therewith consists of Liquid Securities (the percentage represented by such portion of the total consideration to be received is referred to herein as the "LIQUID SECURITIES PERCENTAGE"), the Company may pay the portion of the required purchase price for such Senior Preferred Units that is equal to the Liquid Securities Percentage by delivery of Liquid Securities having a value 3 (using the value ascribed to such Liquid Securities in such Approved Sale) equal to the Liquid Securities Percentage of such required purchase price. The Company will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the Securityholders regarding such sale and to require that all signatures be certified. (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all repurchases of Senior Preferred Units pursuant to any Put Election shall be subject to applicable restrictions contained in the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, the Delaware General Corporation Law, such other applicable corporate or limited liability company laws, applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Company's and its Subsidiaries' debt financing agreements. If any such restrictions prohibit (i) the repurchase of Senior Preferred Units hereunder which the Company is otherwise required to make or (ii) dividends, distributions or other transfers of funds from one or more Subsidiaries to the Company to enable such repurchase, then the Company shall make such repurchase as soon as it is permitted to make such repurchase (and receive the necessary funds from its Subsidiaries) under such restrictions. 3. SALE OF THE COMPANY. (a) If the holders of the Required Interest (as such term is defined in the LLC Agreement) approve a Sale of the Company to a Person that is not an Affiliate of GTCR in a bona fide arms-length transaction (an "APPROVED SALE") and a Put Exercise Notice has not been delivered to the Company in connection therewith, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall vote for, consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved Sale is structured as a (i) merger or consolidation, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall waive any dissenters' rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of Units, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall agree to sell all of his, her or its Securityholder Securities or rights to acquire Securityholder Securities on the terms and conditions approved by the Board and the holders of the Required Interest. Each holder of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale as reasonably requested by the Company. (b) The obligations under this Section 3 of the holders of Securityholder Securities with respect to an Approved Sale of the Company are subject to the condition that each Securityholder shall receive in exchange for the Securityholder Securities held by such Securityholder the same portion of the aggregate consideration from such sale or exchange that such Securityholder would have received if such aggregate consideration had been distributed by the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 4.1 of the LLC Agreement. (c) If either the Company or the holders of any class of Securityholder Securities enter into a negotiation or transaction for which Rule 506 (or any similar rule then in effect) promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission may be available with respect to such negotiation or transaction (including a merger, consolidation or other reorganization), the holders of Securityholder Securities (other than those qualifying as "accredited investors" under such Rule) will, at the request of the Company, appoint a purchaser representative (as such term is defined in Rule 501) reasonably acceptable to the Company. If any holder of Securityholder Securities appoints a purchaser representative designated by the Company, the Company will pay the fees of such purchaser representative, but if any holder of Securityholder Securities 4 declines to appoint the purchaser representative designated by the Company such holder will, if required, appoint another purchaser representative, and such holder will be responsible for the fees of the purchaser representative so appointed. 4. INCORPORATION OF THE COMPANY; PUBLIC OFFERING. In the event that the Board or GTCR approves the incorporation of the Company or a recapitalization, reorganization or exchange involving the exchange of equity securities of the Company or its Subsidiaries into securities that the Board and GTCR find acceptable, whether to facilitate an initial Public Offering or for other reasons that the Board or GTCR deem in the best interest of the Company (including, without limitation a reorganization of the Company pursuant to the terms of Section 15.7 of the LLC Agreement) (a "REORGANIZATION"), the holders of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Board or GTCR in connection with the consummation of such Reorganization, including, without limitation, consenting to, voting for and waiving any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights and participating in any exchange or other transaction required in connection with such Reorganization; PROVIDED that each holder of a class of Units shall receive a security having, in the aggregate, substantially the same rights, benefits, privileges and value as the Units previously held (other than differences based upon differences in the amount of yield accrued on such Units since their respective dates of issuance). In the event that the Board or GTCR approves an initial Public Offering, the holders of Securityholder Securities shall take all necessary or desirable actions reasonably requested by the Board or GTCR in connection with the consummation of such Public Offering, including, without limitation, compliance with the requirements of all laws and regulatory bodies that are applicable or that have jurisdiction over such Public Offering; PROVIDED that all expenses reasonably incurred by such holders in taking such actions shall be the responsibility of the Company. 5. HOLDBACK AGREEMENT. To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each holder of Securityholder Securities shall not effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the Company, or any securities, options, or rights convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and the 180-day period beginning on the effective date of any initial Public Offering or other underwritten registration (except as part of such underwritten registration), unless the underwriters managing the registered Public Offering otherwise agree. 6. LEGEND. Each certificate evidencing Securityholder Securities and each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the Transfer of any Securityholder Securities (if such securities remain Securityholder Securities as defined herein after such Transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially the following form: "THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A SENIOR PREFERRED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT DATED AS OF MARCH 5, 2004 AMONG THE ISSUER OF SUCH SECURITIES (THE "COMPANY") AND CERTAIN OF THE COMPANY'S SECURITYHOLDERS. A COPY OF SUCH SENIOR PREFERRED INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT WILL BE FURNISHED WITHOUT CHARGE BY THE COMPANY TO THE HOLDER HEREOF UPON WRITTEN REQUEST." 5 The Company shall imprint such legend on certificates evidencing Securityholder Securities outstanding prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any securities which cease to be Securityholder Securities. 7. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. The Company shall deliver each of the following to each Securityholder who holds at least 25% of the Senior Preferred Units issued to the Initial Securityholders pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement : (a) as soon as available but in any event within 30 days after the end of each monthly accounting period in each fiscal year, a statement of SNS Gross Sales (as defined in the LLC Agreement) for such monthly period; and (b) within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such fiscal year and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year, all prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied and accompanied by an opinion of an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing. 8.

SEVERABILITY. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. 13.

REMEDIES. The Company and each Securityholder shall be entitled to enforce their rights under this Agreement specifically to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights existing in their favor.

NOTICES. Any notice provided for in this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be either personally delivered, telecopied (with hard copy sent to the recipient by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) that same day) if telecopied before 5:00 p.m. Chicago, Illinois time on a business day, and otherwise on the next business day, or mailed by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid) or sent by reputable overnight courier service (charges prepaid) to the Company at the address set forth below and to any other recipient at the address indicated on the schedules hereto and to any Subsequent Securityholder at such address 9 as indicated by the Company's records, or at such address or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by prior written notice to the sending party.

MUTUAL WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, 10 CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 20.

If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is increased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Company shall issue to Executive for no additional consideration (I) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to such increase (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit) and (II) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to the Class B Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that would have accrued on the Class B Preferred Units issued pursuant to the foregoing clause (I) had such units been issued as of the Closing Date (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is decreased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit to the Company at no cost the number (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (and the Class B Yield relating thereto) having an aggregate value equal to such decrease (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). (b) In addition to the Executive Securities acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above, the Company will issue 27,667 Common Units to Executive in exchange for Executive's Distribution Offset and Contribution Obligation (as defined herein). Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Executive copies of the certificates representing such Executive Securities. (c) 2,351,336 of the Common Units acquired pursuant to SECTIONS 1(a) AND (b) hereof are referred to herein as the "CARRIED COMMON UNITS."

All Class B 2 Preferred Units and the Co-Invest Common Units acquired by Executive hereunder are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST UNITS." (d) Within 30 days after the acquisition of the Carried Common Units hereunder, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto. (e) 293,917 of the Carried Common Units are referred to herein as the "STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS." (f) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units. (g) In connection with the acquisition and issuance of the Executive Securities, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) The Executive Securities to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Securities will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested. (v) Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance 3 with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. This representation is subject to SECTION 1(g)(vi) below. (vi) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 1(g)(vi) attached hereto, Executive is neither party to, nor bound by, any other employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement. (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of New York. (viii) As of the date of this Agreement, Executive is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement (the "CONTRIBUTED SHARES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Medtech Common Stock, the Medtech Stockholders Agreement, and, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Denorex Common Stock, the Denorex Stockholders Agreement, Executive owns the Contributed Shares free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, claims, security interests, restrictions, mortgages, deeds of trust, tenancies, and other possessory interests, conditional sale or other title retention agreements, assessments, easements, rights of way, covenants, restrictions, rights of first refusal, defects in title, encroachments, and other burdens, options or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). There are no agreements, instruments or other arrangements restricting or otherwise affecting the transfer of the Contributed Shares or the other transactions contemplated by this SECTION 1. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (h) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 4 2. VESTING OF CARRIED COMMON UNITS. (a) The Co-Invest Units acquired by Executive shall be vested upon the acquisition thereof. The Carried Common Units (including the Standard Carried Common Units which shall vest on a basis proportionate to the total number of Carried Common Units) shall be subject to vesting in the manner specified in this SECTION 2.

All Carried Common Units that have not vested are referred to herein as "UNVESTED COMMON UNITS." 3. REPURCHASE OPTIONS. (a) SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION. 5 (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(a) and SECTION 5 below, the Company and the Equity Investors will have the right to repurchase (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (other than the Company and the Equity Investors) all or any portion of (A) the Unvested Common Units, in the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries for any reason, and (B) the Vested Carried Common Units and the Co-Invest Units, in the event of Executive's (I) death, (II) Disability, (iii) resignation other than for Good Reason from Executive's employment with the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (iv) employment termination with Cause by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (V) employment termination when there is Substantial Underperformance (each a "SEPARATION REPURCHASE EVENT"). The Separation Repurchase Option with respect to Vested Units under SECTIONS 3(a)(i)(B)(I) and 3(a)(i)(B)(II) shall be valid only if Executive fails to exercise the Separation Put Right (if applicable) within the Put Election Period provided in SECTION 4(a)(i) below. The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this SECTION 3(a) to any Person. (ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected 6 to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest 7 at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice.

(iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option.

During the Employment Period and thereafter, and without in any way limiting the provisions of SECTION 9(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Company, Employer or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with his work for the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board (other than himself if Executive is on the Board) in writing.

Executive will use in the performance of his duties only information which is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive's and which is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) otherwise legally in the public domain, (ii) otherwise provided or developed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. 10. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with Employer he will become familiar with the Company's, Employer's and their respective Subsidiaries' trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries and that his services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries.

Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. (b) NONSOLICITATION. During the Employment Period and also during the period commencing on the date of termination of the Employment Period and ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries within 180 days after such person ceased to be an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT such restriction shall not apply for a particular employee if the Company has provided its written consent to such hire, which consent, in the case of any person who was not a key employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company, Employer or any Subsidiary or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the business of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and with which the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries has conducted discussions or has requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the two year period immediately preceding a Separation. (c) ENFORCEMENT.

Because Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this 20 Agreement, the Company, Employer, their respective Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

Anderson ("EXECUTIVE"). The Company and Executive desire to enter into an agreement pursuant to which Executive will acquire from the Company, and the Company will issue to Executive, Class B Preferred Units of the Company (the "CLASS B PREFERRED UNITS") and Common Units of the Company (the "COMMON UNITS"). Certain definitions are set forth in SECTION 11 of this Agreement. Employer desires to employ Executive and Executive desires to be employed by Employer upon the terms set forth herein. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company and Executive is a condition to (A) the purchase of Class B Preferred Units and Common Units by GTCR Fund VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII"), GTCR Fund VIII/B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR FUND VIII/B"), GTCR Co-Invest II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CO-INVEST") and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers (as defined herein) pursuant to a Unit Purchase Agreement among the Company and such Persons dated as of the date hereof (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") and (B) the purchase of warrants to acquire Class B Preferred Units and Common Units by GTCR Capital Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("GTCR CAPITAL PARTNERS") and the TCW/Crescent Lenders (as defined herein) pursuant to a Warrant Agreement between the Company and such Persons dated as of the date hereof. Each of GTCR Fund VIII, GTCR Fund VIII/B, GTCR Co-Invest and the TCW/Crescent Purchasers is sometimes individually referred to herein as an "EQUITY INVESTOR" and, collectively, as the "EQUITY INVESTORS." Each of GTCR Capital Partners and the TCW/Crescent Lenders is sometimes individually referred to herein as a "DEBT INVESTOR" and, collectively, as the "DEBT INVESTORS." Each of the Equity Investors and the Debt Investors is sometimes individually referred to herein as an "INVESTOR" and, collectively, as the "INVESTORS." Certain provisions of this Agreement are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the Investors. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree as follows: PROVISIONS RELATING TO EXECUTIVE SECURITIES 1. ACQUISITION AND ISSUANCE OF EXECUTIVE SECURITIES. (a) Upon execution of this Agreement, Executive will acquire, and the Company will issue, 1,217,032 Common Units at a price of $0.10 per unit and 202.683 Class B Preferred Units at a price of $1,000 per unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $324,387. Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Executive copies of the certificates representing such Executive Securities (as defined below), and Executive will contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Company the following in full consideration for such Executive Securities: (i) that number of shares of Medtech Common Stock with an aggregate Medtech Common Stock Value, determined as of the Closing Date, of $259,046; and (ii) that number of shares of Denorex Common Stock with an aggregate Denorex Common Stock Value, determined as of the Closing Date, of $65,341. If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is increased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Company shall issue to Executive for no additional consideration (I) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to such increase (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit) and (II) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to the Class B Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that would have accrued on the Class B Preferred Units issued pursuant to the foregoing clause (I) had such units been issued as of the Closing Date (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is decreased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit to the Company at no cost the number (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (and the Class B Yield relating thereto) having an aggregate value equal to such decrease (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). (b) In addition to the Executive Securities acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above, the Company will issue 6,914 Common Units to Executive in exchange for Executive's Distribution Offset and Contribution Obligation (as defined herein). Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Executive copies of the certificates representing such Executive Securities. (c) 1,175,668 of the Common Units acquired pursuant to SECTIONS 1(a) AND (b) hereof are referred to herein as the "CARRIED COMMON UNITS." The remaining Common Units that are acquired pursuant to SECTIONS 1(a) AND (b) above are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST COMMON UNITS." All Class B 2 Preferred Units and the Co-Invest Common Units acquired by Executive hereunder are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST UNITS." (d) Within 30 days after the acquisition of the Carried Common Units hereunder, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto. (e) 587,834 of the Carried Common Units are referred to herein as the "STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS." (f) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units. (g) In connection with the acquisition and issuance of the Executive Securities, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) The Executive Securities to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Securities will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested. (v) Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance 3 with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. This representation is subject to SECTION 1(g)(vi) below. (vi) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 1(g)(vi) attached hereto, Executive is neither party to, nor bound by, any other employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement. (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of New Jersey. (viii) As of the date of this Agreement, Executive is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement (the "CONTRIBUTED SHARES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Medtech Common Stock, the Medtech Stockholders Agreement, and, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Denorex Common Stock, the Denorex Stockholders Agreement, Executive owns the Contributed Shares free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, claims, security interests, restrictions, mortgages, deeds of trust, tenancies, and other possessory interests, conditional sale or other title retention agreements, assessments, easements, rights of way, covenants, restrictions, rights of first refusal, defects in title, encroachments, and other burdens, options or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). There are no agreements, instruments or other arrangements restricting or otherwise affecting the transfer of the Contributed Shares or the other transactions contemplated by this SECTION 1. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (h) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 4 2. VESTING OF CARRIED COMMON UNITS. (a) The Co-Invest Units acquired by Executive shall be vested upon the acquisition thereof. The Carried Common Units (including the Standard Carried Common Units which shall vest on a basis proportionate to the total number of Carried Common Units) shall be subject to vesting in the manner specified in this SECTION 2. (b) Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 2, the Carried Common Units shall become vested in accordance with the following schedule, if and only if as of each such date provided below, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date:
CUMULATIVE PERCENTAGE OF DATE CARRIED COMMON UNITS VESTED ------------------------------------ --------------------------- First Anniversary of Effective Date 20.00% Second Anniversary of Effective Date 40.00% Third Anniversary of Effective Date 60.00% Fourth Anniversary of Effective Date 80.00% Fifth Anniversary of Effective Date 100.00%
(c) If Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries on any date other than an anniversary date specified in the schedule above, the cumulative percentage of Carried Common Units to become vested shall be determined on a PRO RATA basis according to the number of days elapsed since the Effective Date, or the most recent anniversary date, as the case may be. (d) Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, all Carried Common Units which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the time of the consummation of the Sale of the Company, if, as of such time, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date. (e) Carried Common Units that have become vested ("VESTED CARRIED COMMON UNITS") and the Co-Invest Common Units are referred to herein as "VESTED COMMON UNITS." The Vested Common Units and the Class B Preferred Units are collectively referred to herein as "VESTED UNITS." All Carried Common Units that have not vested are referred to herein as "UNVESTED COMMON UNITS." 3. REPURCHASE OPTIONS. (a) SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION. (i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(a) and SECTION 5 below, the Company and the Equity Investors will 5 have the right to repurchase (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (other than the Company and the Equity Investors) all or any portion of (A) the Unvested Common Units, in the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries for any reason, and (B) the Vested Carried Common Units and the Co-Invest Units, in the event of Executive's (I) death, (II) Disability, (III) resignation other than for Good Reason from Executive's employment with the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (IV) employment termination with Cause by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (V) employment termination when there is Substantial Underperformance (each a "SEPARATION REPURCHASE EVENT"). The Separation Repurchase Option with respect to Vested Units under SECTIONS 3(a)(i)(B)(I) and 3(a)(i)(B)(II) shall be valid only if Executive fails to exercise the Separation Put Right (if applicable) within the Put Election Period provided in SECTION 4(a)(i) below. The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this SECTION 3(a) to any Person. (ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities 6 under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, 7 not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice. (b) DILUTION REPURCHASE OPTION.

(D) "MAXIMUM NUMBER OF REPURCHASABLE STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS" means with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the product of the Maximum Percentage of Repurchaseable Standard Carried Common Units MULTIPLIED BY the number of Standard Carried Common Units owned by Executive immediately prior to the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment.

(F) "POST-MONEY EQUITY VALUE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the sum of the Pre-Money Equity Value PLUS the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment Amount. (G) "PRE-MONEY EQUITY VALUE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the Fair Market Value of the Fully-Diluted Equity of the Company immediately prior to the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment. (H) "PURCHASER EQUITY FUND DILUTION PERCENTAGE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the quotient, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, equal to the Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment Amount divided by the Post-Money Equity Value. 9 (I) "PURCHASER MEZZANINE FUND DILUTION FACTOR" means 5.53%. (J) "PURCHASER MEZZANINE FUND DILUTION PERCENTAGE" means, with respect to any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the product, expressed as a percentage and rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a percent, of the Purchaser Equity Fund Dilution Percentage MULTIPLIED BY the Purchaser Mezzanine Fund Dilution Factor. (ii) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(b), in the event of any Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment, the Investors will have the right to repurchase (the "DILUTION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (including for this purpose the Company and, with respect to any Standard Carried Common Units acquired other than pursuant to the Dilution Repurchase Option, the Investors) all or any portion of Executive's Maximum Number of Repurchasable Standard Carried Common Units as of such Follow-on Purchaser Equity Investment. (iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option.

If the Company is not required to deliver new certificates for such Executive Securities not bearing such legend, the holder thereof shall not Transfer the same until the prospective transferee has confirmed to the Company in writing its agreement to be bound by the conditions contained in this SECTION 7.

The existing Medtech/Denorex bonus program will continue through the fiscal year ending March 31, 2004. Beginning with fiscal year 2005, the Board shall develop a new bonus program which may incorporate subjective and objective criteria for bonus achievement different from the criteria contained in the existing Medtech/Denorex bonus program; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT the maximum bonus payment potentials to Executive will not be decreased from those provided in the existing Medtech/Denorex bonus program.

In addition, if Executive is entitled on the date of termination to coverage under the medical and prescription portions of the Welfare Plans, such coverage shall continue for Executive and Executive's covered dependents for a period ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination at the active employee cost payable by Executive with respect to those costs paid by Executive prior to the date of termination; PROVIDED, that this coverage will count towards the depletion of any continued health care coverage rights that Executive and Executive's dependents may have pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended ("COBRA"); PROVIDED further, that Executive's or Executive's covered dependents' rights to continued health care coverage pursuant to this SECTION 8(c) shall terminate at the time Executive or Executive's covered dependents become covered, as described in COBRA, under 16 another group health plan, and shall also terminate as of the date Employer ceases to provide coverage to its senior executives generally under any such Welfare Plan.

Except as otherwise provided in this SECTION 8(c) or in the Employer's employee benefit plans or as otherwise required by applicable law, Executive shall not be entitled to any other salary, compensation or benefits after termination of Executive's employment with Employer. 9. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. (a) OBLIGATION TO MAINTAIN CONFIDENTIALITY. Executive acknowledges that the information, observations and data (including trade secrets) obtained by him during the course of his performance under this Agreement concerning the business or affairs of the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates ("CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION") are the property of the Company, Employer or such Subsidiaries and Affiliates, including information concerning acquisition opportunities in or reasonably related to the Company's and Employer's business or industry of which Executive becomes aware during the Employment Period.

(b) OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY. Executive acknowledges that all discoveries, concepts, ideas, inventions, innovations, improvements, developments, methods, processes, programs, designs, analyses, drawings, reports, patent applications, copyrightable work and mask work (whether or not including any Confidential Information) and all registrations or applications related thereto, all other proprietary information and all similar or related information (whether or not patentable) that relate to the Company's, Employer's or any of their respective Subsidiaries' or Affiliates' actual or anticipated business, research and development, or existing or future products or services and that are conceived, developed, contributed to, made, or reduced to practice by Executive (either solely or jointly with others) while employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates (including any of the foregoing that constitutes any proprietary information or records) ("WORK PRODUCT") belong to the Company, Employer or such Subsidiary or Affiliate and Executive hereby assigns, and agrees to assign, all of the above Work Product to the Company, Employer or to such Subsidiary or Affiliate. Any copyrightable work prepared in whole or in part by Executive in the course of his work for any of the foregoing entities shall be deemed a "work made for hire" under the copyright laws, and the Company, Employer or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall own all rights therein. To the extent that any such copyrightable work is not a "work made for hire," Executive hereby assigns and agrees to assign to the Company, Employer or such Subsidiary or Affiliate all right, title, and interest, including without limitation, copyright in and to such copyrightable work. Executive shall promptly disclose such Work Product and copyrightable work to the Board and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Board (whether during or after the Employment Period) to establish and confirm the Company's, Employer's or such Subsidiary's or Affiliate's ownership (including, without limitation, assignments, consents, powers of attorney, and other instruments).

During the Employment Period and thereafter, 18 and without in any way limiting the provisions of SECTION 9(a) above, Executive will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than personnel and consultants of the Company, Employer or their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates) or use, except in connection with his work for the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by a member of the Board (other than himself if Executive is on the Board) in writing. (d) USE OF INFORMATION OF PRIOR EMPLOYERS. During the Employment Period and thereafter, Executive will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employers or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, and will not bring onto the premises of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by the former employer or Person. Executive will use in the performance of his duties only information which is (i) generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Executive's and which is (x) common knowledge in the industry or (y) otherwise legally in the public domain, (ii) otherwise provided or developed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (iii) in the case of materials, property or information belonging to any former employer or other Person to whom Executive has an obligation of confidentiality, approved for such use in writing by such former employer or Person. 10. NONCOMPETITION AND NONSOLICITATION. Executive acknowledges that in the course of his employment with Employer he will become familiar with the Company's, Employer's and their respective Subsidiaries' trade secrets and with other confidential information concerning the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries and that his services will be of special, unique and extraordinary value to the Company, Employer and such Subsidiaries. Therefore, Executive agrees that: (a) NONCOMPETITION.

Nothing herein shall prohibit Executive from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation that is publicly traded, so long as Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation. (b) NONSOLICITATION. During the Employment Period and also during the period commencing on the date of termination of the Employment Period and ending on the first anniversary of the date of termination, Executive shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to leave the employ of the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries within 180 days after such person ceased to be an employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries (PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT such restriction shall not apply for a particular employee if the Company has provided its written consent to such hire, which consent, in the case of any person who was not a key employee of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall not be unreasonably withheld), (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries to cease doing business with the Company, Employer or any such Subsidiary or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and the Company, Employer or any Subsidiary or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any business relating to the business of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries and with which the Company, Employer and any of their respective Subsidiaries has conducted discussions or has requested and received information relating to the acquisition of such business by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in the two year period immediately preceding a Separation. (c) ENFORCEMENT. If, at the time of enforcement of SECTION 9 or this SECTION 10, a court holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum duration, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum duration, scope and area permitted by law. Because Executive's services are unique and because Executive has access to Confidential Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company, Employer, their respective Subsidiaries or their successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for specific performance 20 and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security).

Executive agrees and acknowledges that the potential harm to the Company and Employer of the non-enforcement of SECTION 9 and this SECTION 10 outweighs any potential harm to Executive of its enforcement by injunction or otherwise. Executive acknowledges that he has carefully read this Agreement and has given careful consideration to the restraints imposed upon Executive by this Agreement, and is in full accord as to their necessity for the reasonable and proper protection of confidential and proprietary information of the Company, Employer and their Subsidiaries now existing or to be developed in the future.

If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is increased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Company shall issue to Executive for no additional consideration (I) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to such increase (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit) and (II) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to the Class B Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that would have accrued on the Class B Preferred Units issued pursuant to the foregoing clause (I) had such units been issued as of the Closing Date (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). If the Medtech Common Stock Value and/or the Denorex Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is decreased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit to the Company at no cost the number (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (and the Class B Yield relating thereto) having an aggregate value equal to such decrease (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). (b) In addition to the Executive Securities acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above, the Company will issue 9,233 Common Units to Executive in exchange for Executive's Distribution Offset and Contribution Obligation (as defined herein). Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to Executive copies of the certificates representing such Executive Securities. (c) 881,751 of the Common Units acquired pursuant to SECTIONS 1(a) AND (b) hereof are referred to herein as the "CARRIED COMMON UNITS."

(d) Within 30 days after the acquisition of the Carried Common Units hereunder, Executive will make an effective election with the Internal Revenue Service under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder in the form of EXHIBIT A attached hereto. (e) 293,917 of the Carried Common Units are referred to herein as the "STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS." (f) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units. (g) In connection with the acquisition and issuance of the Executive Securities, Executive represents and warrants to the Company that: (i) The Executive Securities to be acquired by Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for Executive's own account and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Executive Securities will not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. (ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested. (v) Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance 3 with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject. This representation is subject to SECTION 1(g)(vi) below. (vi) Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 1(g)(vi) attached hereto, Executive is neither party to, nor bound by, any other employment agreement, consulting agreement, noncompete agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement. (vii) Executive is a resident of the State of New York. (viii) As of the date of this Agreement, Executive is the holder of record and owns beneficially the number of shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement (the "CONTRIBUTED SHARES"). Other than the transfer restrictions set forth in, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Medtech Common Stock, the Medtech Stockholders Agreement, and, with respect to the Contributed Shares consisting of Denorex Common Stock, the Denorex Stockholders Agreement, Executive owns the Contributed Shares free and clear of all liens, pledges, voting agreements, voting trusts, proxy agreements, claims, security interests, restrictions, mortgages, deeds of trust, tenancies, and other possessory interests, conditional sale or other title retention agreements, assessments, easements, rights of way, covenants, restrictions, rights of first refusal, defects in title, encroachments, and other burdens, options or encumbrances of any kind (collectively, "LIENS"). There are no agreements, instruments or other arrangements restricting or otherwise affecting the transfer of the Contributed Shares or the other transactions contemplated by this SECTION 1. Upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, the Company will receive good and valid title to the shares of Medtech Common Stock and Denorex Common Stock being contributed to the Company by Executive pursuant to SECTION 1(a) of this Agreement, free and clear of all Liens. (h) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 4 2.

(d) Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, all Carried Common Units which have not yet become vested shall become vested at the time of the consummation of the Sale of the Company, if, as of such time, Executive has been continuously employed by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries from the Effective Date through and including such date.

(ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities 6 under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, 7 not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice.

(iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option.

If the Medtech Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is increased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then the Company shall issue to Executive for no additional consideration (I) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to such increase (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit) and (II) the number of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) having an aggregate value equal to the Class B Yield (as defined in the LLC Agreement) that would have accrued on the Class B Preferred Units issued pursuant to the foregoing clause (I) had such units been issued as of the Closing Date (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). If the Medtech Common Stock Value determined as of the Closing Date is decreased after the Closing Date pursuant to adjustments thereto contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, then Executive shall forfeit to the Company at no cost the number (using the same ratio then in effect as between such units) of Co-Invest Common Units and Class B Preferred Units (and the Class B Yield relating thereto) having an aggregate value equal to such decrease (assuming a Class B Preferred Unit value of $1,000 per unit and a Co-Invest Common Unit value of $0.10 per unit). (b) 587,834 of the Common Units acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) hereof are referred to herein as the "CARRIED COMMON UNITS." The remaining Common Units that are acquired pursuant to SECTION 1(a) above are referred to herein as the "CO-INVEST COMMON UNITS."

(d) 293,917 of the Carried Common Units are referred to herein as the "STANDARD CARRIED COMMON UNITS." (e) Until released upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company or a Public Offering as provided below, all certificates evidencing Executive Securities shall be held by the Company for the benefit of Executive and the other 2 holder(s) of Executive Securities, if any. Upon the occurrence of a Sale of the Company, the Company will return all certificates evidencing Executive Securities to the record holders thereof. Upon the consummation of a Public Offering, the Company will return to the record holders thereof certificates evidencing the Co-Invest Units and the Vested Carried Common Units.

(ii) Executive is an executive officer of the Company and Employer, is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Executive Securities. (iii) Executive is able to bear the economic risk of his investment in the Executive Securities for an indefinite period of time because the Executive Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. (iv) Executive has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Executive Securities and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries as he has requested. (v) Executive has full legal capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform his obligations hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Executive, enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Executive, to the best of his knowledge, does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Executive is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Executive is subject.

(g) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Executive Securities to Executive, and as a condition thereto, Executive acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Executive Securities to Executive nor any provision contained herein shall entitle Executive to remain in the employment of the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or Employer to terminate Executive's employment at any time for any reason, subject to the remaining terms of this Agreement and any other agreement between Executive and any such parties. 2.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this SECTION 3(a) and SECTION 5 below, the Company and the Equity Investors will have the right to repurchase (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE OPTION") from Executive and his transferees (other than the Company and the Equity Investors) all or any portion of (A) the Unvested Common Units, in the event Executive ceases to be employed by the Company, Employer and their respective Subsidiaries for any reason, and (B) the Vested Carried Common Units and the Co-Invest Units, in the event of Executive's (I) death, (II) Disability, (III) resignation other than for Good Reason from Executive's employment with the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (IV) employment termination with Cause by the Company, Employer or any of their respective Subsidiaries or (V) employment termination when there is Substantial Underperformance (each a "SEPARATION REPURCHASE EVENT"). The Separation Repurchase Option with respect to Vested Units under SECTIONS 3(a)(B)(I) and 3(a)(i)(B)(II) shall be valid only if Executive fails to exercise the Separation Put Right (if applicable) within the Put Election Period provided in SECTION 4(a)(i) below. The Company may assign its repurchase rights set forth in this SECTION 3(a) to any Person. (ii) For any Separation Repurchase Option, (A) the purchase price for each Unvested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event, (B) the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the 5 Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Vested Common Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause and (C) the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the date of the Separation Repurchase Event; PROVIDED THAT, if Executive's employment is terminated with Cause, the purchase price for each Class B Preferred Unit will be the lesser of (I) Executive's Original Cost for such unit and (II) the Fair Market Value of such unit as of the effective date of Executive's termination with Cause. (iii) The Company (with the approval of the Board) may elect to purchase all or any portion of the Unvested Common Units and/or the Vested Units by delivering written notice (the "SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE") to the holder or holders of such securities within ninety (90) days after the Separation Repurchase Event. The Separation Repurchase Notice will set forth the number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be acquired from each holder, the aggregate consideration to be paid for such units and the time and place for the closing of the transaction. The number of Executive Securities to be repurchased by the Company shall first be satisfied to the extent possible from the Executive Securities held by Executive at the time of delivery of the Separation Repurchase Notice. If the number of Executive Securities then held by Executive is less than the total number of Executive Securities that the Company has elected to purchase, the Company shall purchase the remaining Executive Securities elected to be purchased from the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities under this Agreement, PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities held by such Permitted Transferee(s) at the time of delivery of such Separation Repurchase Notice (determined as nearly as practicable to the nearest unit). The number of Unvested Common Units and Vested Units to be repurchased hereunder will be allocated among Executive and the Permitted Transferee(s) of Executive Securities (if any) PRO RATA according to the number of Executive Securities to be purchased from such Person. (iv) If for any reason the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option, the Equity Investors shall be entitled to exercise the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities the Company has not elected to purchase (the "AVAILABLE SEPARATION SECURITIES"). As soon as practicable after the Company has determined that there will be Available Separation Securities, but in any event within four months after the Separation Repurchase Event, the Company shall give written notice (the "SEPARATION OPTION NOTICE") to the Equity Investors setting forth the number of Available Separation Securities and the purchase price for the Available Separation Securities. The Equity Investors may elect to purchase any or all of the Available Securities by giving written notice to the Company within 30 days after the Separation Option Notice has been given by the Company. If the Equity Investors elect to purchase an aggregate number greater than the number of Available Separation Securities, the Available 6 Separation Securities shall be allocated among the Equity Investors based upon the number of Common Units owned by each Equity Investor. As soon as practicable, and in any event within ten days after the expiration of the 30-day period set forth above, the Company shall notify each holder of Executive Securities under this Agreement as to the number of units being purchased from such holder by the Equity Investors (the "SUPPLEMENTAL SEPARATION REPURCHASE NOTICE"). At the time the Company delivers the Supplemental Repurchase Notice to such holder(s) of Executive Securities, the Company shall also deliver written notice to each Equity Investor setting forth the number of units such Equity Investor is entitled to purchase, the aggregate purchase price and the time and place of the closing of the transaction. (v) The closing of the purchase of the Executive Securities pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option shall take place on the date designated by the Company in the Separation Repurchase Notice or Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, which date shall not be more than 30 days nor less than five days after the delivery of the later of either such notice to be delivered. The Company will pay for the Executive Securities to be purchased by it pursuant to the Separation Repurchase Option by first offsetting amounts outstanding under any bona fide debts owed by Executive to the Company and will pay the remainder of the purchase price by, at its option, (A) a check or wire transfer of funds, (B) if the purchase is being made by a corporate successor to the Company, the issuance of a subordinated promissory note of such successor bearing interest at a rate equal to the prime rate (as published in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL from time to time) and having such maturity as the Company shall determine in good faith, not to exceed three years, (C) issuing in exchange for such securities a number of the Company's Class A Preferred Units (having the rights and preferences set forth in the LLC Agreement) equal to (I) the aggregate portion of the repurchase price for such Executive Securities determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) paid by the issuance of Class A Preferred Units DIVIDED BY (II) 1,000, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each such Class A Preferred Unit shall as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital Contributions made with respect to such Class A Preferred Unit equal to $1,000, or (D) any combination of clauses (A), (B) and (C) as the Board may elect in its discretion. Each Equity Investor will pay for the Executive Securities purchased by it by a check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Company and the Equity Investors will be entitled to receive customary representations and warranties from the sellers regarding such sale and to require that all sellers' signatures be guaranteed. By way of example only for the purpose of clarifying the mechanics of SECTION 3(a)(v)(C), if the Company intends to repurchase 20,025,000 Common Units by issuance of Class A Preferred Units and the aggregate repurchase price for such Common Units determined in accordance with this SECTION 3(a) is $400,500, then the Company would issue to Executive 400.5 Class A Preferred Units, and for purposes of the LLC Agreement each whole Class A Preferred Unit issued to Executive would as of its issuance be deemed to have Capital 7 Contributions made for such Class A Preferred Unit of $1,000, and the Capital Contributions made for the one-half Class A Preferred Unit would be $500. (vi) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the Fair Market Value of Executive Securities is finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for such unit of Executive Securities in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice, each of the Company and the Equity Investors shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the Separation Repurchase Option for all or any portion of the Executive Securities elected to be repurchased by it by delivering notice of such revocation in writing to the holders of Executive Securities during the thirty-day period beginning on the date that the Company and/or the Equity Investors are given written notice that the Fair Market Value of a unit of Executive Securities was finally determined to be an amount at least 10% greater than the per unit repurchase price for Executive Securities set forth in the Separation Repurchase Notice or in the Supplemental Separation Repurchase Notice.

(iii) For any Dilution Repurchase Option, the purchase price for each Standard Carried Common Unit will be Executive's Original Cost for such 9 unit PLUS interest on such amount at a rate of 8% per annum from the date hereof until the date of exercise of such Dilution Repurchase Option.
