Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On January 5, 2007, Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (“TWW”), entered into a Purchase Agreement with Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch and Credit Suisse, International (the “Purchasers”), the guarantors named therein, and the agent named therein, for the sale of (i) $10 million aggregate principal amount of TWW’s Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due June 30, 2009 (the “Series A Notes”) to Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, and (ii) $4 million in aggregate principal amount of TWW’s 0.5% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due June 30, 2009 to Credit Suisse, International (the “Series B Notes”) issued pursuant to an Indenture between TWW and The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). TWW and its subsidiaries are subject to certain covenants and restrictions specified in the Purchase Agreement with the Purchasers, including covenants that restrict their ability to pay dividends, make certain distributions or investments and incur certain indebtedness.
     The Series A Notes bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate, as calculated under terms of the Series A Note, plus 8.00% (increasing on January 1, 2009 to the Eurodollar Rate plus 9.00% through the maturity date). All interest under the Series A Notes is “payable in kind” and will be added to the principal amount of the Series A Notes quarterly beginning March 30, 2007. The Series A Notes are secured by substantially all of TWW’s and its subsidiaries’ assets pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement dated January 5, 2007 among TWW, the guarantors named therein and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as agent (the “Security Agreement”).
     The Series B Notes bear interest at 0.5% per annum for the first 24 months increasing thereafter to 1.50% until maturity. All interest under the Series B Notes is “payable in kind” and will be added to the principal amount of the Series B Notes semi-annually beginning July 1, 2007. The Series B Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) at the option of the holders, at $8.14 per share subject to certain adjustments set forth in the Indenture.
     If there is a change in control of TWW, the holders of the Series A and Series B Notes have the right to require TWW to repurchase their notes in cash at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. TWW may, at its option, redeem the Series A Notes, in whole or in part at any time prior to the stated maturity, at the then outstanding balance of such notes (including interest that has accreted to principal) plus accrued but unaccreted interest. TWW may redeem, at its option, all of the Series B Notes on any interest payment date after June 5, 2007 at a redemption price equal to (i) certain amounts set forth in the Indenture (expressed as percentages of the principal amount outstanding on the date of redemption), plus (ii) the amount (if any) by which the fair market value on such date of the Common Stock into which the Series B Notes are then convertible exceeds the principal amount of the Series B Notes on such date, plus (iii) accrued, but unpaid interest if redeemed during certain monthly periods following the closing date.
     TWW also paid an arrangement fee (the “Arrangement Fee”) to Credit Suisse, International as consideration for its services in connection with the Series B Notes, in the amount of 145,985 shares of Common Stock (the “Fee Shares”), which shares have a value of approximately $1,000,000. TWW also granted Credit Suisse, International certain registration rights pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement dated January 5, 2007 in connection with the Common Stock underlying the Series B Notes and the Fee Shares, including the right to have such shares registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
     The Series A Notes are subordinated to the Falcon Notes (as defined below) in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 5, 2007, among TWW, the subsidiary guarantors names therein, FMP Agency Services, LLC, as the senior agent to the senior creditors named therein, and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as subordinated agent and subordinated creditor (the “Series A Subordination Agreement”). The Series B Notes are subordinated to the Falcon Notes in the manner and to the extent set forth in the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement dated as of January 5, 2007, among TWW, the subsidiary guarantors names therein, FMP Agency Services, LLC, as the senior agent to the senior creditors named therein, and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as subordinated agent to Credit Suisse, International, the subordinated creditor (the “Series B Subordination Agreement,” and collectively with the Series A Subordination Agreement, the “Subordination Agreements”).
     On January 5, 2007, TWW also entered into a capital lease facility commitment letter with Credit Suisse for lease financing in the amount of up to $13,250,000 (the “Lease Financing Commitment”) for certain specified

2


 

properties. In connection with the Lease Financing Commitment, TWW is required to commence accruing a commitment fee of 550 basis points based on the available portion under the Lease Financing Commitment beginning on Janaury 5, 2007, in addition to the other terms and conditions described in the Lease Financing Commitment. If TWW elects any early buy-out option of the contemplated lease financings contemplated by the Lease Financing Commitment (as defined below), TWW is required to offer to repurchase the Series A Notes at an offer price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of thereof plus acrrued and unpaid interest as described in the Purchase Agreement.
     In connection with and consideration for the consent of the holders of the Falcon Notes to TWW’s issuance of the Series A Notes, Series B Notes and Lease Financing Commitment, on January 5, 2007, TWW entered into an Amendment, Consent and Waiver (the “Falcon Amendment”) that provides for certain amendments, consents and waivers to the terms of the Purchase Agreement dated December 31, 2004 among TWW, as issuer, the guarantors named therein, FMP Agency Services, LLC, as agent, and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Falcon Purchasers”) specifically the terms relating to the $30 million aggregate principal amount of TWW’s Senior Secured Notes due 2009 (the “Falcon Notes”). The Falcon Amendment provides for: (i) a reduction in the call premium from 7.5% to 5.0% immediately instead of on June 30, 2007 and (ii) an immediate 1.0% increase in the accrued interest rate followed by additional 0.25% quarterly interest rate increase for each quarter during the four (4) quarters beginning July 1, 2007; provided however, that in the event the Falcon Notes are redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the Falcon Amendment, a minimum of $300,000 in additional interest shall be required to be paid on the Falcon Notes in connection with any such early redemption.
     The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement, the Series A Notes, the Series B Notes, the Security Agreement, the Falcon Amendment, the Indenture, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Subordination Agreements and the Lease Financing Commitment is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.39 through 10.48 and incorporated herein by reference.

disposition, pledge or transfer of any such Indebtedness to a Person (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) shall be deemed to be an incurrence of such Indebtedness by the obligor not permitted by this clause (vii), and (b) any transaction pursuant to which any Wholly Owned Subsidiary, which has Indebtedness owing to the Company or any other Wholly Owned Subsidiary, ceases to be a Wholly Owned Subsidiary shall be deemed to be the incurrence of Indebtedness by such Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is not permitted by this clause (vii); provided, further, that if such Indebtedness is incurred by a non-Guarantor (other than Terremark Latin America (Brasil) Ltda. or any future Wholly Owned Subsidiary that is a Foreign Subsidiary) then such incurrence must also comply with clause (e) of the definition of “Permitted Investments”;

          (b) For purposes of determining compliance with this Section 8.04, in the event that an item of Indebtedness meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (xi) of the immediately preceding paragraph (a), the Company shall, in its sole discretion, classify such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this Section 8.04 and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness in one of such clauses. Accrual of interest, accretion of accreted value and the payment of interest through the issuance of securities paid-in-kind shall not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness for purposes of this Section 8.04.

- 66 -


 

          (b) Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company may apply such Net Cash Proceeds (i) in the case of any Asset Sale of property or assets of the SPV only, to permanently reduce Indebtedness under the SPV Financing Agreement (and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto) or any Senior Indebtedness, (ii) to fund the acquisition of a controlling interest in another business, the making of a capital expenditure or the acquisition of other long term assets, in each case, in the same or a similar, related or ancillary line of business as the Company was engaged in on the date of this Agreement or (iii) in the case of any Asset Sale involving either of the Excluded Properties, to permanently reduce Indebtedness in respect of the Contemplated Lease Financing pertaining to such respective Excluded Property. Any Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” Only in the event that there are no amounts outstanding under the Falcon Purchase Agreement, and any permitted refinancings thereof, or as otherwise consented to, at the request of the Company, by “Required Holders” in accordance with and as defined in the Falcon Purchase Agreement, when the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $500,000, the Company shall make an Asset Sale Offer pursuant to Section 7.09 hereof to purchase the maximum principal amount of Series A Notes, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds, at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 7.09 hereof. To the extent that the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes. Subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, any Net Cash Proceeds from an Asset Sale involving Collateral shall, pending their application in accordance with the terms hereof, be deposited in a collateral account with the Agent in which the Agent shall be granted a perfected second priority security interest, and the terms of which shall be satisfactory to the Agent and the Required Series A Noteholders. Any property or assets acquired with the Net Cash Proceeds of an Asset Sale involving Collateral shall constitute Collateral under this Agreement and the Security Documents. If the aggregate principal amount of Series A Notes surrendered by Series A Noteholders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Company shall select the Series A Notes to be purchased on a pro rata basis. Upon completion of such offer to purchase, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.
          SECTION 8.06. Transactions with Affiliates         . The Company shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, conduct any business or enter into or suffer to exist any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the sale, purchase, exchange or lease of assets, property or services) with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company or of a Subsidiary (other than the Company or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary) or any beneficial holder of 10% or more of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or any officer, director or employee of the Company or any Subsidiary unless such transaction or series of related transactions is entered into in good faith and in writing and (a) such transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be, than those that would be available in a comparable transaction in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party, (b) with respect to any transaction or series of related transactions involving aggregate value in excess of $1.2 million, the Company delivers to each Series A Noteholder an Officers’ Certificate describing such transaction or transactions, certifying that such transaction or transactions have been approved by a majority of the Board of

- 67 -

At the option of the Series A Noteholder, Series A Notes may be exchanged for other Series A Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Series A Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.

          (d) Effect of Registration of Transfer or Exchange. All Series A Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Series A Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the Series A Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     (ii) such transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.07 with respect to any resale of the Series A Notes.

          (d) In the event of a proposed exercise or sale that does not qualify under either Section 9.07(b) or 9.07(c) above, a Series A Noteholder may sell its Series A Notes only if:
     (i) such Series A Noteholder gives written notice to the Company of its intention to exercise or effect such sale, which notice (A) shall describe the manner and circumstances of the proposed transaction in reasonable detail and (B) shall designate the counsel for such Series A Noteholder, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company;
     (ii) counsel for the Series A Noteholder shall render an opinion to the effect that such proposed sale may be effected without registration under the Securities Act; and
     (iii) such Series A Noteholder or transferee complies with Sections 9.07(b)(i) and 9.07(b)(ii).
          SECTION 9.08. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes. If any mutilated Series A Note is surrendered to the Company, the Company shall execute and deliver in exchange therefor a new Series A Note of the same principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
          If there shall be delivered to the Company (a) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Series A Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company to save each of it and any agent harmless, then, in the absence of notice that such Series A Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Series A Note, a new Series A Note of a like principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
          In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Series A Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Series A Note, pay such Series A Note.
          Upon the issuance of any new Series A Note pursuant to this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.
          Every new Series A Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Series A Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Series A Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Series A Notes duly issued hereunder.

          SECTION 10.02. Remedies. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(h) or 10.01(i)) occurs and is continuing, then and in every such case, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, the Series A Noteholders of 25% or more in principal amount of the then outstanding Series A Notes may declare the principal amount of all the Series A Notes to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company, and upon any such declaration such principal amount and any accrued interest shall become immediately due and payable. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Payment Default or acceleration that constitutes an Event of Default under Section 10.01(f) shall have occurred and prior to any acceleration under this Section 10.02 such Payment Default shall have been cured or waived or such acceleration shall have been rescinded, then from and after such cure, waiver or rescission, such Event of Default shall no longer be deemed to be continuing. If an Event of Default specified in Section 10.01(h) or 10.01(i) occurs and is continuing, the principal amount of and any accrued interest on the outstanding Series A Notes shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of any Series A Noteholder, become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right of any Series A Noteholder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest of any Series A Note held by such Series A Noteholder on or after the respective dates expressed in such Series A Note, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such repayment on or after such respective date, is absolute and

- 82 -


 

unconditional and shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Series A Noteholder.
          At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained, the Required Series A Noteholders, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:
          (a) the Company has paid a sum sufficient to pay:
     (i) all overdue interest on all Series A Notes;
     (ii) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Series A Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration (including any Series A Notes required to have been purchased pursuant to an offer to purchase that the Company is required to make hereunder) and any interest thereon at the rate borne by the Series A Notes; and
     (iii) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate provided therefor in the Series A Notes; and
     (b) all Events of Default, other than the nonpayment of the principal amount of Series A Notes and interest thereon which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 10.03.
          SECTION 10.03. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Required Series A Noteholders may on behalf of the Series A Noteholders waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default:
     (a) in the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) or interest on any Series A Note (including any Series A Note which is required to have been purchased pursuant to an offer to purchase that the Company is required to make hereunder), or
     (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 15.04 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Series A Noteholder of each outstanding Series A Note affected.
          Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Agreement; provided, however, no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

          SECTION 11.02. Partial Redemptions. In case the Company elects to redeem less than all of the Series A Notes, the Company shall redeem the Series A Notes pro rata from each Series A Noteholder. For all purposes of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Series A Notes shall relate, in the case of any Series A Note redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Series A Note which has been or is to be redeemed.
          SECTION 11.03. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 20 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Series A Noteholder to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Note Register.

     (c) if less than all the outstanding Series A Notes are to be redeemed, the portion of each Note to be redeemed,
     (d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Series A Note to be redeemed and that interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after said date, and
     (e) the place or places where such Series A Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price.
          Notice of redemption of Series A Notes to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company and at the expense of the Company.
          SECTION 11.04. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. If notice of redemption shall have been given as provided above, the Series A Notes to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and any applicable accrued interest) such Series A Notes shall not bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Series A Note for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Series A Note shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any applicable accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Series A Noteholders of such Series A Notes, or one or more Predecessor Notes, registered as such at the close of

- 84 -


 

business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of this Agreement.
          If any Series A Note called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate provided by the Series A Note.
          SECTION 11.05. Notes Redeemed in Part. Any Series A Note which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the principal offices of the Company (with, if the Company so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Series A Noteholder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute and deliver to the Series A Noteholder of such Series A Note without service charge, a new Series A Note or Series A Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Series A Noteholder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Series A Note so surrendered.
SECTION 12
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES
          SECTION 12.01. Subsidiary Guarantees. Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Series A Noteholder, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Series A Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of and premium and interest on the Series A Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of (and any premium) and interest on the Series A Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Series A Noteholders hereunder or thereunder shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Series A Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. 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. The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Series A Notes or this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Series A Noteholder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Series A Notes and this Agreement.

- 85 -


 

          If any Series A Noteholder is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company or Guarantors, or any Custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or Guarantors, any amount paid by such Series A Noteholder, this Subsidiary 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 Series A Noteholders 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 Series A Noteholders, on the other hand, (a) the Maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 10 for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 10, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee. The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any nonpaying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Series A Noteholders under the Subsidiary Guarantees.
          SECTION 12.02. Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantees. To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01, each Guarantor hereby agrees that this Agreement and a Subsidiary Guarantee in the form of Exhibit B hereto shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one of its Vice Presidents and, to the extent not a party to this Agreement on the date hereof, each Guarantor shall execute and deliver to the Series A Noteholders a Subsidiary Guarantee in the form of Exhibit B hereto and a supplemental agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto, pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor under this Section 12 and shall guarantee the Obligations of the Company under this Agreement and the Series A Notes. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of such Subsidiary Guarantee and such supplemental agreement, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Series A Noteholders an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers that the foregoing have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor and that such Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee is a valid and legally binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms.
          If an officer whose signature is on this Agreement or on a Subsidiary Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Company executes and delivers the Series A Note on which a Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The execution and delivery of any Series A Note by the Company shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Agreement on behalf of the Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Series A Note a notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee.
          SECTION 12.03. Guarantors May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain Terms. No Guarantor may consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another corporation, Person or entity (other than the Company or another Guarantor) unless:

- 86 -


 

     (a) subject to the provisions of Section 12.04 hereof, the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such Guarantor) unconditionally assumes all the obligations of such Guarantor under the Series A Notes and this Agreement pursuant to a supplemental agreement, in the form of Exhibit C hereto; and
     (b) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor shall be permitted to consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another corporation, Person or entity pursuant to the preceding sentence if such consolidation or merger would not be permitted by Section 8.10 hereof.
          In case of any such consolidation or merger and upon the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental agreement, executed and delivered to the Series A Noteholders and satisfactory in form to the Series A Noteholders, of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed upon the Series A Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Agreement to be performed by the Guarantor, such successor corporation 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 corporation thereupon may cause to be signed any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Series A Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company. All the Subsidiary Guarantees so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Subsidiary Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.
          Except as set forth in Section 8 hereof, nothing contained in this Agreement or in any of the Series A Notes shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a Guarantor with or into the Company, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to the Company.
          SECTION 12.04. Releases of Subsidiary Guarantees. In the event of (i) a sale or other disposition of all of the assets of any Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise or (ii) a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor, such Guarantor (in the event of a sale or other disposition, by way of such a merger, consolidation, distribution 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 of the assets of such Guarantor) will be released and relieved of any obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; provided that the net proceeds of such sale or other disposition shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.05 hereof. Any Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Series A Notes and for the other obligations of any Guarantor under this Agreement as provided in this Section 12.

          SECTION 12.05. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Series A Notes, each Series A Noteholder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Series A Noteholders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Section 12 shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under this Section 12, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
SECTION 13
EXPENSES, INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION, AND TERMINATION
          SECTION 13.01. Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Issuers will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’, advisors’, appraisers’ and consultants’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers, the Agent or any Noteholder in connection with the Transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or the Purchased Securities (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the Purchasers’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Purchasers’ examinations and appraisals of the Issuers’ properties, books and records, (b) the Purchasers’ reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the preparation, review, negotiation, execution and delivery of the Basic Documents and the consummation of the Transactions, (c) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing, defending or declaring (or determining whether or how to enforce, defend or declare) any rights or remedies under this Agreement, the Basic Documents or the Purchased Securities or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the other Basic Documents or the Purchased Securities, or by reason of being a holder of any Purchased Securities, and (d) the costs and expenses, including reasonable and documented consultants’ and advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company or in connection with any workout or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the other Basic Documents or by the Purchased Securities; provided however that compliance with the limitations on payment thereof imposed by Section 2.2 of the Subordination Agreement or Section 2.2 of the Series B Subordination Agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed to not constitute a Default. The Company will pay, and will save the Purchasers, the Agent and each other holder of a Purchased Security harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses if any, of brokers and finders in relation to the Transactions.

          SECTION 13.02. Indemnification.
          (a) Indemnification by the Issuers. Each Issuer, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each Purchaser, (ii) each Agent, (iii) each Person, if any, who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) any such Person referred to in clause (i) (any of the Persons referred to in this clause (iii) being referred to herein as a “Controlling Person”) and (iv) the respective officers, directors, managing directors, stockholders, partners, employees, representatives, trustees, fiduciaries, and agents of any Person referred to in clause (i) or any such Controlling Person (any such Person referred to in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), a “Purchaser Indemnified Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) in whole or in part upon any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties of the Issuers contained herein, (ii) in whole or in part upon any failure of any Issuer to perform its obligations hereunder or under Applicable Law, or (iii) any change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the period from the Audit Date to the Closing Time, inclusive, that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been disclosed in writing to the Purchasers, and will reimburse each such Purchaser Indemnified Person for any legal and other expenses incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claims as such expenses are incurred. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 13.02(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Issuers may otherwise have.
          (b) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by a Purchaser Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action, such Purchaser Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under Section 13.02(a), notify such indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Purchaser Indemnified Person otherwise than under Section 13.02(a), or to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Purchaser Indemnified Person and it shall notify an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall elect within 30 days after receiving any such notification, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Purchaser Indemnified Person, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such Purchaser Indemnified Person of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such Purchaser Indemnified Person under such paragraph for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Person, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Purchaser Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Purchaser Indemnified Person unless (i) the Purchaser Indemnified Person shall have been advised by counsel that representation of the Purchaser Indemnified Person by counsel provided by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicting interests between the indemnifying party and the Purchaser Indemnified Person, including situations in which there are one or more legal defenses available to the Purchaser Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, (ii) the

- 89 -


 

indemnifying party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for the Purchaser Indemnified Person at the expense of the indemnifying party or (iii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense or retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar actions or proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Purchaser Indemnified Persons, except to the extent that local counsel, in addition to their regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against such action or proceeding. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the Purchaser Indemnified Person, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Purchaser Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Purchaser Indemnified Person.
          SECTION 13.03. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 13.02 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless a Purchaser Indemnified Person under paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 13.02 in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Purchaser Indemnified Person as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the (i) relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other hand from the issuance and sale of the Purchased Securities; or (ii) if the allocation provided in clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the related benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the Purchaser Indemnified Person on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuers on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the sale of the Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Issuers and the total fees received by the Purchasers, bear to the aggregate initial sale price of the Purchased Securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party on the one hand or the Purchaser Indemnified Person on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 13.03 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchaser Indemnified Persons 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 above in this Section 13.03.

- 90 -


 

          The obligations of the Issuers under this Section 13.03 shall be in addition to any liability which the Issuers may otherwise have.
          SECTION 13.04. Survival. The obligations of the Issuers under this Section 13 will survive the payment or transfer of any Purchased Security, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.
          SECTION 13.05. Termination.
          (a) The Purchasers may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the Audit Date, any material adverse change in the business, management, operations, affairs, condition (financial or otherwise) assets, property, prospects or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, or (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions which, in each case, in the judgment of the Purchasers, could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect or impair the ability to sell or place securities such as the Purchased Securities, or (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the American Stock Exchange, or if trading generally on the American Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange or in the Nasdaq National Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any other governmental authority, or (iv) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities.
          (b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 13.05, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 13.01 hereof, provided that Sections 1, 13.02, 13.03, 13.04, 14.08 and 14.12 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.
SECTION 14
AGENT
          SECTION 14.01. Appointment. Each Series A Noteholder hereby designates and appoints Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch as its agent (“the Agent”) under this Agreement, the Security Agreement and the other Basic Documents to which such Series A Noteholder is a party, and each Series A Noteholder hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to execute and deliver the Security Documents, the Subordination Agreement, any post-closing agreements and all other intercreditor agreements as the Agent deems appropriate and to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of such agreements, this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and to exercise such powers as are

- 91 -


 

set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Series A Noteholder agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of each Basic Document entered into by the Agent on behalf of such Series A Noteholder. The Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Basic Documents on behalf of the Series A Noteholders subject to the requirement that certain of the Series A Noteholders’ consent be obtained in certain instances as provided in this Section 14.01 and Section 15.04. The provisions of this Section 14.01(a) are solely for the benefit of Agent and the Series A Noteholders and neither the Company nor any other Issuer shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Series A Noteholders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Company or any other Issuer. The Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Basic Documents, by or through its agents or employees.
          SECTION 14.02. Nature of Duties. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Series A Noteholder. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, express or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Series A Noteholder with any credit or other information with respect to the Issuers (other than as expressly required herein). If Agent seeks the consent or approval of any Series A Noteholders to the taking or refraining from taking of any action hereunder, then Agent shall send notice thereof to each Series A Noteholder. Agent shall promptly notify each Series A Noteholder any time that the Required Series A Noteholders have instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.
          SECTION 14.03. Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any Series A Noteholder for any action taken or omitted by it hereunder or under any of the Basic Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except that Agent shall be liable to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Series A Noteholder to whom payment was due but not made shall be to recover from other Series A Noteholders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Series A Noteholders hereby agree to return to such Series A Noteholder any such erroneous payments received by them). In no event shall Agent be liable for punitive, special, consequential, incidental, exemplary or other similar damages. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with transactions for its own account, but neither Agent nor any of its agents or representatives shall be responsible to any Series A Noteholder for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility or sufficiency of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, or for the financial condition of any Issuer. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance

- 92 -


 

of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or the financial condition of any Issuer, or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of Default. Agent may at any time request instructions from the Required Series A Noteholders or all affected Series A Noteholders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Basic Documents Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant. If such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Basic Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Required Series A Noteholders or such other portion of the Series A Noteholders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Series A Noteholder shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Required Series A Noteholders or all affected Series A Noteholders, as applicable; and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Series A Noteholders or all affected Series A Noteholders, as applicable, Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action is deemed to be illegal by Agent or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with Section 14.05.
          SECTION 14.04. Reliance. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any written or oral notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, fax or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent in its sole discretion.
          SECTION 14.05. Indemnification. The Series A Noteholders will reimburse and indemnify Agent for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents or any action taken or omitted by Agent under this Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, in proportion to each Series A Noteholder’s Pro Rata Share, but only to the extent that any of the foregoing is not reimbursed by the Company; provided, however, that no Series A Noteholder shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or disbursements to the extent resulting from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any indemnity furnished to Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against even if so directed by the Required Series A Noteholders or such other portion of the Series A Noteholders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement until such additional indemnity is furnished. The obligations of the Series A Noteholders under this Section 14.05 shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

- 93 -


 

          SECTION 14.06. Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch Individually. With respect to its purchase of the Purchased Securities hereunder, Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Series A Noteholder. The terms “Series A Noteholders,” “Required Series A Noteholders” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch in its individual capacity as a Series A Noteholder or one of the Required Series A Noteholders. Agent, either directly or through strategic affiliations, may lend money to, acquire equity or other ownership interests in, provide advisory services to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with any Issuer as if it were not acting as Agent pursuant hereto and without any duty to account therefor to Series A Noteholders. Agent, either directly or through strategic affiliations, may accept fees and other consideration from any Issuer for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to Series A Noteholders.
          SECTION 14.07. Successor Agent.
          (a) Resignation. Agent may resign from the performance of all its agency functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Company and the Series A Noteholders. Such resignation shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor agent of appointment pursuant to clause (ii) below or as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below.
          (b) Appointment of Successor. Upon any such notice of resignation pursuant to clause (a) above, the Required Series A Noteholders shall appoint a successor agent which, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company. If a successor agent shall not have been so appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day period referred to in clause (a) above, the retiring agent, upon notice to the Company, shall then appoint a successor agent who shall serve as agent until such time, if any, as the Required Series A Noteholders appoint a successor agent as provided above.
          (c) Successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as agent under the Basic Documents by a successor agent, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring agent, and the retiring agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Basic Documents. After any retiring agent’s resignation as agent, the provisions of this Section 14 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it in its capacity as agent.
          SECTION 14.08. Collateral Matters.
          (a) Release of Collateral. The Series A Noteholders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent upon any Collateral (x) upon payment and satisfaction of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claims giving rise thereto have been asserted), or (y) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Company certifies to Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement (and Agent may rely in good faith conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

- 94 -


 

          (b) Confirmation of Authority; Execution of Releases. Without in any manner limiting Agent’s authority to act without any specific or further authorization or consent by the Series A Noteholders (as set forth in Section 14.08(a)), each Series A Noteholder agrees to confirm in writing, upon request by Agent or the Company, the authority to release any Collateral conferred upon Agent under clauses (x), (y) and (z) of Section 14.08(a). Upon receipt by Agent of any required confirmation from the Required Series A Noteholders of its authority to release any particular item or types of Collateral, and upon at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior written request by the Company, Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Series A Noteholders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Agent upon such Collateral; provided, however, that (x) Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Agent’s opinion, would expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of any Issuer in respect of) all interests retained by any Issuer, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.
          (c) Absence of Duty. Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Series A Noteholder or any other Person to assure that the property covered by the Security Documents exists or is owned by the Company or any other Issuer or is cared for, protected or insured or has been encumbered or that the Liens granted to Agent have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent in this Section 14.08(c) or in any of the Basic Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the property covered by the Security Documents or any act, omission or event related thereto, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its discretion, given Agent’s own interest in property covered by the Security Documents as one of the Series A Noteholders and that Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to any of the other Series A Noteholders, provided that Agent shall exercise the same care which it would in dealing with loans for its own account.
          SECTION 14.09. Agency for Perfection. Agent and each Series A Noteholder hereby appoint each other Series A Noteholder as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with the Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Series A Noteholder (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such Series A Noteholder shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each Series A Noteholder agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Security Document or to realize upon any collateral security for the Notes and the Guarantees unless instructed to do so by Agent in writing, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.
          SECTION 14.10. Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and Fees required to be paid to Agent for the

- 95 -


 

account of the Series A Noteholders, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Series A Noteholder or the Company referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” Agent will use reasonable efforts to notify each Series A Noteholder of its receipt of any such notice, unless such notice is with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees, in which case Agent will notify each Series A Noteholder of its receipt of such notice. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Series A Noteholders in accordance with Section 10. Unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of Series A Noteholders.
          SECTION 14.11. Series A Noteholder Actions Against Collateral. Each Series A Noteholder agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, against the Company or any Issuer hereunder or under the other Basic Documents or against any of the Real Property encumbered by Mortgages without the consent of the Required Series A Noteholders. With respect to any action by Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent and the Series A Noteholders under this Agreement and the other Basic Documents, each Series A Noteholder hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the court in which such action is maintained, and agrees to deliver its Notes to Agent to the extent necessary to enforce the rights and remedies of Agent for the benefit of the Series A Noteholders under the Mortgages in accordance with the provisions hereof.
          SECTION 14.12. Setoff and Sharing of Payments. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Series A Noteholder is hereby authorized by the Company at any time or from time to time, with reasonably prompt subsequent notice to the Company (any prior or contemporaneous notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all (A) balances held by such Series A Noteholder at any of its offices for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (regardless of whether such balances are then due to the Company or its Subsidiaries), and (B) other property at any time held or owing by such Series A Noteholder to or for the credit or for the account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, against and on account of any of the Obligations; except that no Series A Noteholder shall exercise any such right without the prior written consent of Agent. Any Series A Noteholder exercising a right to set off shall purchase for cash (and the other Series A Noteholders shall sell) interests in each of such other Series A Noteholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Obligations as would be necessary to cause all Series A Noteholders to share the amount so set off with each other Series A Noteholder in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Company agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that any Series A Noteholder may exercise its right to set off with respect to amounts in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Obligations and upon doing so shall deliver such amount so set off to the Agent for the benefit of all Series A Noteholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.
          SECTION 14.13. Withholding. Any Series A Noteholder that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of United States backup withholding tax or withholding tax shall deliver to the Issuer (with a copy to the Agent), at least 30 days prior to the Stated Maturity of the Series A Notes, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by

- 96 -


 

applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without such withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding (which documentation in the case of a Series A Noteholder that is a United States person will generally be an IRS Form W-9, and in the case of a Series A Noteholder that is not a United States person, will generally be the applicable IRS Form W-8, together with any required supporting documentation); provided that such Series A Noteholder is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Series A Noteholder’s judgment such completion, execution or delivery would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Series A Noteholder.

          1. General. This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company designated as its Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2009 (herein called the “Notes”), limited in aggregate principal amount to the sum of (a) $10,000,000 and (b) the amount of interest which, in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 2 below, may be capitalized and added to the principal amount of the Notes, in each case, issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated as of January 5, 2007 (herein called the “Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors named therein, the Agent and the Purchasers named therein, to which Purchase Agreement and all amendments thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company and the Noteholders and of the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, issued and delivered.
          Principal on this Note shall be payable only against surrender therefor, while payments of interest on this Note shall be made, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement and subject to applicable laws and regulations, by wire transfer to such account as any Noteholder shall designate by written instructions received by the Company no less than 15 days prior to any applicable Interest Payment Date, which wire instruction shall continue in effect until such time as the Noteholder otherwise notifies the Company or such Noteholder no longer is the registered owner of this Note.
          2. Interest. The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note from the date of issuance of this Note (or any Predecessor Note), or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly in arrears, on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December in each year commencing March 30, 2007 (each, an “Interest Payment Date”) and at Stated Maturity at the Applicable Rate, until the principal hereof is paid. On each such Interest Payment Date the Company shall pay such interest by adding the amount thereof to the principal amount of this Note on such Interest Payment Date, and shall within five (5) Business Days of each relevant Interest Payment Date deliver to the Noteholder of this Note written notice stating the amount of interest so added to the principal of this Note and the new principal amount of this Note.
          “Applicable Rate” means the Eurodollar Rate plus 8.00%, provided that from and after January 1, 2009 through the Stated Maturity Date, the Applicable Rate shall be equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus 9.00%.
          “Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements” means, for any day, the aggregate (without duplication) of the maximum rates (expressed as a decimal fraction) of reserve requirements in effect on such day (including basic, supplemental, marginal and emergency reserves under any regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States (or any successor) (the “Board”) or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction with respect thereto) dealing with reserve requirements prescribed for eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency Liabilities” in Regulation D of the Board) maintained by a member bank of the Federal Reserve System.

          “Eurodollar Base Rate” means, with respect to each day during each Interest Period, the rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date that is two Business Days prior to the commencement of such Interest Period by reference to the British Bankers’ Association Interest Settlement Rates for deposits in dollars (as set forth by any service selected by the Administrative Agent that has been nominated by the British Bankers’ Association as an authorized information vendor for the purpose of displaying such rates) for a period equal to such Interest Period; provided that, to the extent that an interest rate is not ascertainable pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this definition, the “Eurodollar Base Rate” shall be the interest rate per annum determined by the Administrative Agent to be the average of the rates per annum at which deposits in dollars are offered for such relevant Interest Period to major banks in the London interbank market in London, England by the Administrative Agent at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the date that is two Business Days prior to the beginning of such Interest Period.
          “Eurodollar Rate” means, with respect to each day during each Interest Period, a rate per annum determined for such day in accordance with the following formula:
Eurodollar Base Rate
 
1.00 - Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements
          Interest Payment Datemeans the last day of each Interest Period.
          Interest Periodmeans an interest period (i) initially, commencing on January 5, 2007 and ending on March 30, 2007; and (ii) thereafter, commencing on the day on which the immediately preceding Interest Period expires and ending on the immediately succeeding day that is the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December occurring thereafter.
          To the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, any principal of, or premium or installment of interest on, this Note which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of 2% per annum in excess of the rate of interest then borne by the Notes (“default interest”) from the date such amounts are due until they are paid, and the entire amount of such default interest shall be payable in cash.
          Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days.
          All interest payable, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Purchase Agreement, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the “Regular Record Date” for such interest, which shall be the fifteenth calendar day (whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding such Interest Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is issued after a Regular Record Date and prior to an Interest Payment Date, the record date for such Interest Payment Date shall be the original issue date.
          3. Redemption. The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part at any time prior to the Stated Maturity, at the then outstanding balance of such Note (including interest that has accreted to principal) plus accrued but unaccreted interest.

          7. Amendments, Modifications and Waivers. The Purchase Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and certain rights of the Noteholders under the Purchase Agreement at any time by the Company with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Purchase Agreement also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of specified percentages in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Noteholders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Agreement and certain past defaults under the Agreement and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

CONCERNING ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES AND RENTS
     Section 5.1 Present Assignment; License to the Grantor.
          (i) Section 2.2 of this Deed of Trust constitutes a present, absolute, effective, irrevocable and complete assignment by Grantor to Beneficiary of the Leases and Rents and the right, subject to applicable law, to collect all sums payable to Grantor thereunder and apply the same as Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate to protect the security afforded by this Deed of Trust (including the payment of reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Trust Property), which is not conditioned upon Beneficiary being in possession of the Premises. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. The Trustee and Beneficiary hereby grants to the Grantor, however, a license to collect and apply the Rents and to enforce the obligations of Tenants under the Leases. Immediately upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Secured Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license granted in the immediately preceding sentence shall automatically cease and terminate without any notice by Beneficiary (such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law), or any action or proceeding or the intervention of a receiver appointed by a court.
          (ii) Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has taken all reasonable actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases subject to the Permitted Collateral Liens and in the case of security deposits, rights of depositors and requirements of law. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Deed of Trust, Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “Choate” and enforced as to Grantor and all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title II of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Deed of Trust, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

I-15


 

          (iii) Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor and Beneficiary agree that (a) this Deed of Trust shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Deed of Trust extends to property of Grantor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents, and (c) such security interest shall extend to all rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.
     Section 5.2 Collection of Rents by the Beneficiary.
          (i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any Rents receivable by the Beneficiary hereunder, after payment of all proper costs and expenses as Beneficiary may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate (including the payment of reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the maintenance, operation, improvement, insurance, taxes and upkeep of the Trust Property), shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(ii) of this Deed of Trust. The Beneficiary shall be accountable to the Grantor only for Rents actually received by the Beneficiary. The collection of such Rents and the application thereof shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or waive, modify or affect notice of Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to such notice.
          (ii) The Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Tenant under each Lease to rely upon and comply with any and all notices or demands from the Beneficiary for payment of Rents to the Beneficiary and the Grantor shall have no claim against Tenant for Rents paid by Tenant to the Beneficiary pursuant to such notice or demand.
     Section 5.3 Irrevocable Interest. All rights, powers and privileges of the Trustee and Beneficiary herein set forth are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, and the Grantor shall not take any action under the Leases or otherwise which is inconsistent with this Deed of Trust or any of the terms hereof and any such action inconsistent herewith or therewith shall be void.

Unless and to the extent contested by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Grantor shall pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, from time to time prior to same becoming delinquent, all Charges. The Grantor shall, upon the Beneficiary’s request, deliver to the Beneficiary receipts evidencing the payment of all such Charges.
     Section 6.2 Stamp and Other Taxes. The Grantor shall pay any United States documentary stamp taxes, with interest and fines and penalties, and any mortgage recording taxes, with interest and fines and penalties, that may hereafter be levied, imposed or assessed under or upon or by reason hereof or the Secured Obligations or any instrument or transaction affecting or relating to either thereof and in default thereof the Beneficiary may advance the

same and the amount so advanced shall be payable by the Grantor to the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.01 of the Purchase Agreement hereof
     Section 6.3 Certain Tax Law Changes. In the event of the passage after the date hereof of any law deducting from the value of real property, for the purpose of taxation, amounts in respect of any Lien thereon or changing in any way the laws for the taxation of mortgages, deed of trust or debts secured by mortgages or deeds of trust for state or local purposes or the manner of the collection of any taxes, and imposing any taxes, either directly or indirectly, on this Deed of Trust or any other Basic Document, the Grantor shall promptly pay to the Beneficiary such amount or amounts as may be necessary from time to time to pay any such taxes, assessments or other charges resulting therefrom; provided, that if any such payment or reimbursement shall be unlawful or taxable to Beneficiary, or would constitute usury or render the indebtedness wholly or partially usurious under applicable law, the Grantor shall pay or reimburse Beneficiary for payment of the lawful and non-usurious portion thereof.
     Section 6.4 Proceeds of Tax Claim. In the event that the proceeds of any tax claim are paid after the Beneficiary has exercised its right to foreclose the Lien hereof, such proceeds shall be paid to the Beneficiary to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure. The Beneficiary shall retain its interest in the proceeds of any tax claim during any redemption period. The amount of any such proceeds in excess of any deficiency claim of the Beneficiary shall in a reasonably prompt manner be released to the Grantor.
ARTICLE 7

If there shall occur any Casualty Event (or, in the case of any condemnation, taking or other proceeding in the nature thereof, upon the occurrence thereof or notice of the commencement of any proceedings therefor), the Grantor shall promptly send to the Beneficiary a written notice setting forth the nature and extent thereof. The proceeds payable in respect of any such Casualty Event are hereby assigned and shall be paid to the Beneficiary or shall be used for the restoration of the Trust Property. The Net Cash Proceeds of each Casualty Event shall be applied, allocated and distributed in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.18 of the Purchase Agreement.
     Section 7.2 Condemnation. In the case of any taking, condemnation or other proceeding in the nature thereof, the Trustee and Beneficiary may, at their option, participate in any proceedings or negotiations which might result in any taking or condemnation and the Grantor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee and Beneficiary all instruments reasonably requested by them to permit such participation. The Beneficiary may be represented by counsel satisfactory to it at the reasonable expense of the Grantor in connection with any such participation. The Grantor shall pay all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Trustee and Beneficiary in connection therewith and in seeking and obtaining any award or payment on account thereof. The Grantor shall take all steps necessary to notify the condemning authority of such assignment.
     Section 7.3 Restoration. The Grantor shall complete such restoration in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. If restoration of the Trust Property is not feasible

          (i) personally, or by its agents or attorneys, and where applicable law so requires, with the Trustee, (A) enter into and upon and take possession of all or any part of the Premises together with the books, records and accounts of the Grantor relating thereto and, exclude the Grantor, its agents and servants wholly therefrom, (B) use, operate, manage and control the Premises and conduct the business thereof, (C) maintain and restore the Premises, (D) make all necessary or proper repairs, renewals and replacements and such useful alterations thereto and thereon as the Beneficiary may deem advisable, (E) manage, lease and operate the Premises and carry on the business thereof and exercise all rights and powers of the Grantor with respect thereto either in the name of the Grantor or otherwise or (F) collect and receive all Rents.

          (ii) with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, or by the Trustee (as so required by applicable law) (A) sell the Trust Property and all estate, right, title and interest, claim and demand therein at one or more sales as permitted by the terms of the Mortgaged Lease or (B) institute and prosecute proceedings for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Lien and security interests created and evidenced hereby; or
          (iii) take such steps to protect and enforce its rights whether by action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement in the Purchase Agreement and the other Basic Documents, or in aid of the execution of any power granted in this Deed of Trust, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy or otherwise as the Beneficiary shall elect.
     Section 8.2 Sale of Trust Property if Event of Default Occurs; Proceeds of Sale.

I-18


 

available under applicable law) or to final judgment and execution thereof for the Secured Obligations, and in furtherance thereof the Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law) may sell the Trust Property at one or more sales, to the extent and as provided under the terms of the Mortgaged Lease, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law or statute or in equity. The Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law) may execute and deliver to the purchaser at such sale a conveyance of the Trust Property in fee simple and an assignment or conveyance of all the Grantor’s Interest in the Leases and the Trust Property, each of which conveyances and assignments shall contain recitals as to the Event of Default upon which the execution of the power of sale herein granted depends, and the Grantor hereby constitutes and appoints the Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law) the true and lawful attorney in fact of the Grantor to make any such recitals, sale, assignment and conveyance, and all of the acts of the Beneficiary as such attorney in fact are hereby ratified and confirmed. The Grantor agrees that such recitals shall be binding and conclusive upon the Grantor and that any assignment or conveyance to be made by the Beneficiary or Trustee shall divest the Grantor of all right, title, interest, equity and right of redemption, including any statutory redemption, in and to the Trust Property. The power and agency hereby granted are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable by death or dissolution, or otherwise, and are in addition to any and all other remedies which the Beneficiary and Trustee may have hereunder, at law or in equity. So long as the Secured Obligations, or any part thereof, remain unpaid, the Grantor agrees that possession of the Trust Property by the Grantor, or any person claiming under the Grantor, shall be as tenant, and, in case of a sale under power or upon foreclosure as provided in this Deed of Trust, the Grantor and any person in possession under the Grantor, as to whose interest such sale was not made subject, shall, at the option of the purchaser at such sale, then become and be tenants holding over, and shall forthwith deliver possession to such purchaser, or be summarily dispossessed in accordance with the laws applicable to tenants holding over. In case of any sale under this Deed of Trust by virtue of the exercise of the powers herein granted, or pursuant to any order in any judicial proceeding or otherwise, the Trust Property may be sold as an entirety or in separate parcels in such manner or order as the Beneficiary and Trustee in their sole discretion may elect. One or more exercises of powers herein granted shall not extinguish or exhaust such powers, until the entire Trust Property is sold or all amounts secured hereby are paid in full.
          (ii) The proceeds of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article VIII, together with any other sums which then may be held by the Beneficiary under this Deed of Trust, whether under the provisions of this Article VIII or otherwise, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
          (iii) The Beneficiary (on behalf of any Secured Party or on its own behalf) or any Holder or any of their respective Affiliates may bid for and acquire the Trust Property or any part thereof at any sale made under or by virtue of this Article VIII and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting against the purchase price the unpaid amounts (whether or not then due) owing to the Beneficiary, or such Holder in respect of the Secured Obligations, after deducting from the sales price the expense of the sale and the reasonable costs of the action or

I-19


 

proceedings and any other sums that the Beneficiary, Trustee or such Holder is authorized to deduct under this Deed of Trust.
          (iv) The Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law) may adjourn from time to time any sale by it to be made under or by virtue hereof by announcement at the time and place appointed for such sale or for such adjourned sale or sales, and, the Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law), without further notice or publication, may make such sale at the time and place to which the same shall be so adjourned.
          (v) If the Premises is comprised of more than one parcel of land, the Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law) may take any of the actions authorized by this Section 8.2 in respect of any or a number of individual parcels.
     Section 8.3 Additional Remedies in Case of an Event of Default.
          (i) The Beneficiary shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the provisions hereof and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the right of the Beneficiary to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions hereof, or the foreclosure of, or absolute conveyance pursuant to, this Deed of Trust. In case of proceedings against the Grantor in insolvency or bankruptcy or any proceedings for its reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, the Beneficiary shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest and other payments, charges and costs due in respect of the Secured Obligations to the full amount thereof without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or any part of the Trust Property; provided, however, that in no case shall the Beneficiary receive a greater amount than the aggregate of such principal, interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the proceeds of the sale of the Trust Property and the distribution from the estate of the Grantor.
          (ii) Any recovery of any judgment by the Beneficiary and any levy of any execution under any judgment upon the Trust Property shall not affect in any manner or to any extent the Lien and security interests created and evidenced hereby upon the Trust Property or any part thereof, or any conveyances, powers, rights and remedies of the Beneficiary hereunder, but such conveyances, powers, rights and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before.
          (iii) Any monies collected by the Beneficiary under this Section 8.3 shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(ii).

The Grantor hereby consents to the appointment of such receiver. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, the Beneficiary shall be entitled as pledgee to the possession and control of any cash, deposits or instruments at the time held by or payable or deliverable under the terms of the Purchase Agreement to the Beneficiary.
          (iii) The Grantor shall not (A) at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take any benefit or advantage of any stay or extension or moratorium law, any exemption from execution or sale of the Trust Property or any part thereof, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants and terms of performance hereof, (B) claim, take or insist on any benefit or advantage of any law now or hereafter in force providing for the valuation or appraisal of the Trust Property, or any part thereof, prior to any sale or sales of the Trust Property which may be made pursuant to this Deed of Trust, or pursuant to any decree, judgment or order of any court of competent jurisdiction or (C) after any such sale or sales, claim or exercise any right under any statute heretofore or hereafter enacted to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Grantor hereby expressly (A) waives all benefit or advantage of any such law or laws, including, without limitation, any statute of limitations applicable to this Deed of Trust, (B) waives any and all rights to trial by jury in any action or proceeding related to the enforcement hereof, (C) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding brought in connection with this Deed of Trust and further waives and agrees not to plead that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (D) covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power granted or delegated to the Beneficiary and Trustee by this Deed of Trust but to suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.

     Section 8.5 Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Beneficiary and/or Trustee by this Deed of Trust is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Deed of Trust or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. Any delay or omission of the Beneficiary to exercise any right or power accruing on any Event of Default shall not impair any such right or power and shall not be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in any such Event of Default. Every power and remedy given by this

I-21


 

Deed of Trust may be exercised from time to time concurrently or independently, when and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Beneficiary in such order and manner as the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may elect. If the Beneficiary accepts any monies required to be paid by the Grantor under this Deed of Trust after the same become due, such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of the right either to require prompt payment, when due, of all other sums secured by this Deed of Trust or to declare an Event of Default with regard to subsequent defaults. If the Beneficiary accepts any monies required to be paid by the Grantor under this Deed of Trust in an amount less than the sum then due, such acceptance shall be deemed an acceptance on account only and on the condition that it shall not constitute a waiver of the obligation of the Grantor to pay the entire sum then due, and the Grantor’s failure to pay the entire sum then due shall be and continue to be a default hereunder notwithstanding acceptance of such amount on account.

Without notice to or consent of the Grantor and without impairment of the Lien and rights created by this Deed of Trust, the Beneficiary and/or Trustee may accept (but the Grantor shall not be obligated to furnish) from the Grantor or from any other person, additional security for the Secured Obligations. Neither the giving hereof nor the acceptance of any such additional security shall prevent the Beneficiary or Trustee from resorting, first, to such additional security, and, second, to the security created by this Deed of Trust without affecting the Beneficiary’s and Trustee’s Lien and rights under this Deed of Trust.

I-24


 

          (ii) The Beneficiary shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Trust Property in its possession if such Trust Property is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Beneficiary, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Beneficiary nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Trust Property.
          (iii) The Beneficiary shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Deed of Trust and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
          (iv) With respect to any of its rights and obligations as a Holder, the Beneficiary shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder.

          (v) If any portion of the Trust Property also constitutes collateral granted by any Issuer to the Beneficiary to secure the Secured Obligations under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.

Any and all amounts so expended by the Beneficiary shall be paid by the Grantor in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.01 of the Purchase Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.3 nor any action taken by the Beneficiary pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.3 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Deed of Trust nor any breach of warranty from constituting an Event of Default. The Grantor hereby appoints the Beneficiary and Trustee its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and

I-25


 

stead of the Grantor and in the name of the Grantor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Beneficiary’s and Trustee’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms hereof and the other Basic Documents which the Beneficiary and Trustee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.

No other persons (including, without limitation, any other creditor of any Basic Party) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Holder may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Deed of Trust to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Holder, herein or otherwise, subject, however, to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
     Section 11.5 Termination; Release. This Deed of Trust shall terminate in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. Upon termination hereof or any release of the Trust Property or any portion thereof in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Beneficiary and/or Trustee (as so required by applicable law) shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantor, forthwith assign, transfer and deliver to the Grantor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Beneficiary or Trustee, such of the Trust Property to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Beneficiary or Trustee and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Trust Property, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Trust Property, as the case may be.

     Section 11.8 GOVERNING LAW; SERVICE OF PROCESS; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THIS DEED OF TRUST SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PREMISES ARE LOCATED, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE VALIDITY OR PERFECTION OF THE SECURITY INTEREST HEREUNDER, OR REMEDIES HEREUNDER, IN RESPECT OF ANY PARTICULAR ITEM OR TYPE OF TRUST PROPERTY ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE. GRANTOR AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING MAY BE EFFECTED BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL (OR ANY SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR FORM OF MAIL), POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE COMPANY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR AT SUCH OTHER ADDRESS OF WHICH THE BENEFICIARY SHALL HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED PURSUANT THERETO. IF ANY AGENT APPOINTED BY GRANTOR REFUSES TO ACCEPT SERVICE, GRANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE UPON IT BY MAIL SHALL CONSTITUTE SUFFICIENT NOTICE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF BENEFICIARY TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST GRANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. THE GRANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WANES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS DEED OF TRUST OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
     Section 11.9 Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
     Section 11.10 Relationship. The relationship of the Beneficiary to the Grantor hereunder is strictly and solely that of holder and issuer and grantor and beneficiary and nothing contained in the Purchase Agreement, this Deed of Trust or any other document or instrument now existing and delivered in connection therewith or otherwise in connection with the Secured Obligations is intended to create, or shall in any event or under any circumstance be construed as creating a partnership, joint venture, tenancy-in-common, joint tenancy or other relationship of any nature whatsoever between the Beneficiary and the Grantor other than as holder and issuer and grantor and beneficiary.
     Section 11.11 No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Impositions. The Grantor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Purchase Agreement, and the Grantor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums

I-27


 

which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Charge on the Trust Property or any part thereof.
     Section 11.12 No Claims Against the Beneficiary. Nothing contained in this Deed of Trust shall constitute any consent or request by the Beneficiary, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving the Grantor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Beneficiary in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.
     Section 11.13 Beneficiary’s Right To Sever Indebtedness.
          (i) The Grantor acknowledges that (A) the Trust Property does not constitute the sole source of security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations and that the Secured Obligations are also secured by property of the Grantor and its Affiliates in other jurisdictions (all such property, collectively, the “Collateral”), (B) the number of such jurisdictions and the nature of the transaction of which this instrument is a part are such that it would have been impracticable for the parties to allocate to each item of Collateral a specific principal amount of indebtedness evidenced by Purchased Securities and to execute in respect thereof a separate purchase agreement and (C) the Grantor intends that the Beneficiary have the same rights with respect to the Trust Property, in foreclosure or otherwise, that the Beneficiary would have had if each item of Collateral had been secured, mortgaged or pledged pursuant to a separate purchase agreement, deed of trust, mortgage or security instrument. In furtherance of such intent, the Grantor agrees that the Beneficiary may at any time by notice (an “Allocation Notice”) to the Grantor allocate a portion (the “Allocated Indebtedness”) of the Secured Obligations to the Trust Property and sever from the remaining Secured Obligations the Allocated Indebtedness. From and after the giving of an Allocation Notice with respect to the Trust Property, the Secured Obligations hereunder shall be limited to the extent set forth in the Allocation Notice and (as so limited) shall, for all purposes, be construed as separate obligation of the Grantor unrelated to the other transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, any other Basic Document or any document related to any thereof. To the extent that the proceeds on any foreclosure of the Trust Property shall exceed the Allocated Indebtedness, such proceeds shall belong to the Grantor and shall not be available hereunder to satisfy any Secured Obligations of the Grantor other than the Allocated Indebtedness. In any action or proceeding to foreclose the Lien hereof or in connection with any power of sale, foreclosure or other remedy exercised under this Deed of Trust commenced after the giving by the Beneficiary of an Allocation Notice, the Allocation Notice shall be conclusive proof of the limits of the Secured Obligations hereby secured, and the Grantor may introduce, by way of defense or counterclaim, evidence thereof in any such action or proceeding. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11.13, the proceeds received by the Beneficiary pursuant to this Deed of Trust shall be applied by the Beneficiary in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.2(ii) hereof.

I-28


 

     (ii) The Grantor hereby waives to the greatest extent permitted under law the right to a discharge of any of the Secured Obligations under any statute or rule of law now or hereafter in effect which provides that foreclosure of the Lien hereof or other remedy exercised under this Deed of Trust constitutes the exclusive means for satisfaction of the Secured Obligations or which makes unavailable a deficiency judgment or any subsequent remedy because the Beneficiary elected to proceed with a power of sale foreclosure or such other remedy or because of any failure by the Beneficiary to comply with laws that prescribe conditions to the entitlement to a deficiency judgment. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, any court shall for any reason hold that the Beneficiary is not entitled to a deficiency judgment, the Grantor shall not (A) introduce in any other jurisdiction such judgment as a defense to enforcement against the Grantor of any remedy in the Purchase Agreement or any other Basic Document or (B) seek to have such judgment recognized or entered in any other jurisdiction, and any such judgment shall in all events be limited in application only to the state or jurisdiction where rendered.
     (iii) In the event any instrument in addition to the Allocation Notice is necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 11.13, including, without limitation, any amendment to this Deed of Trust, any substitute promissory note or affidavit or certificate of any kind, the Beneficiary may execute, deliver or record such instrument as the attorney-in-fact of the Grantor. Such power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
     (iv) Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 11.13 shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE 12
MORTGAGED LEASE
     Section 12.1 Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that (a) the Mortgaged Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, (b) all rent and other charges therein have been paid to the extent they are payable to the date hereof, (c) Grantor enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the property demised thereby, (d) Grantor is not in default under any of the terms thereof and there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default thereunder, and (e) the lessor thereunder is not in default under any of the terms or provisions thereof on the part of the lessor to be observed or performed (but this statement is made for the benefit of and may only be relied upon by Beneficiary and Secured Parties). Grantor shall promptly pay, when due and payable, the rent and other charges payable pursuant to the Mortgaged Lease, and will timely perform and observe all of the other terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Grantor as lessee under the Mortgaged Lease. Grantor shall notify Beneficiary in writing of any default by Grantor in the performance or observance of any terms, covenants or conditions on the part of Grantor to be performed or observed under the Mortgaged Lease within ten (10) days after Grantor knows of such default. Grantor shall, promptly following the receipt thereof, deliver a copy of any notice of default given to Grantor by the lessor pursuant to the Mortgaged Lease and promptly notify Beneficiary

I-29


 

in writing of any default by the lessor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions on the part of the lessor to be performed or observed thereunder. Unless required under the terms of the Mortgaged Lease, except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Grantor shall not, without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (which may be granted or withheld in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion) (i) terminate, or surrender the Mortgaged Lease, or (ii) enter into any modification of the Mortgaged Lease which materially impairs the practical realization of the security interests granted by this Deed of Trust, and any such attempted termination, modification or surrender without Beneficiary’s written consent shall be void. Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after written request from Beneficiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the lessor and deliver to Beneficiary a certificate setting forth the name of the tenant thereunder and stating that the Mortgaged Lease is in full force and effect, is unmodified or, if the Mortgaged Lease has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), that no notice of termination thereof has been served on Grantor, stating that to the best of lessor’s knowledge, no default or event which with notice or lapse of time (or both) would become a default is existing under the Mortgaged Lease, stating the date to which rent has been paid, and specifying the nature of any defaults, if any, and containing such other statements and representations as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary.
     Section 12.2 No Merger; Acquisition; Power of Attorney. So long as any of the Secured Obligations remain unpaid or unperformed, the fee title to and the leasehold estate in the premises subject to each Mortgaged Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct notwithstanding the union of such estates in the lessor or Grantor, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise. If Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the property demised by the Mortgaged Lease, or any part thereof, the lien of this Deed of Trust shall attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Trust Property with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. Grantor agrees to execute all instruments and documents that Beneficiary may reasonably require to ratify, confirm and further evidence the lien of this Deed of Trust on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver, following an Event of Default, all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Grantor. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as any portion of the Secured Obligations remains unpaid.
     Section 12.3 New Leases. If the Mortgaged Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by Grantor or any tenant thereunder, and if, pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgaged Lease, Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the lessor a new lease of the premises subject to the Mortgaged Lease, Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.
     Section 12.4 No Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Deed of Trust shall not constitute an assignment of any Mortgaged Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment and Beneficiary shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Deed of Trust. Beneficiary shall be liable for the obligations of the tenant arising out of any Mortgaged Lease for only that

I-30


 

period of time for which Beneficiary is in possession of the premises demised thereunder or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Grantor’s right, title and interest therein.]

          (i) Upon receipt of such notice from Beneficiary, Trustee shall cause to be recorded and delivered to Grantor such notice of default as may then be required by law and by this Deed of Trust. Trustee shall, without demand on Grantor, after lapse of

EXHIBIT L
FORM OF CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made effective as of                     , 200 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a Florida corporation acting on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, with offices at 2601 South Bayshore Drive, Suite #900, Miami, FL and                                         , a corporation acting on behalf of itself and its Affiliates (as defined below) with offices                                          (each individually a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”).
WITNESSETH:
     WHEREAS, in connection with exploring and evaluating a possible business relationship (the “Relationship”) and for the purposes of the ongoing Relationship, the Parties recognize the need to disclose to one another certain of the Confidential Information (as defined below); and
     WHEREAS, the Parties wish to provide the terms and conditions upon which such Confidential Information will be disclosed by one Party to the other Party hereunder;
     NOW, THEREFORE In consideration of the other party’s disclosure of Confidential Information and the covenants and promises contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1.   “Confidential Information” means information in whatever form disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) before, on or after the Effective Date hereof which relates to a Disclosing Party’s business or the Relationship, including without limitation business, financial, operational, human resource and technical materials and information, or which although not directly related to the Relationship, is nevertheless disclosed as a result of or in connection with the Parties’ discussions of the Relationship.
2.   The Receiving Party shall use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information only for the purpose of evaluating the Relationship and for the purposes of the ongoing Relationship, and shall protect such Confidential Information from disclosure to third parties, using the same degree of care used to protect its own proprietary and confidential information of like importance, but in any case using no less than a reasonable degree of care. The Parties understand that disclosure of Confidential Information could result in violation of the federal securities laws as well as other laws. The Receiving Party agrees not to trade in the securities of Disclosing Party while in possession of material Confidential Information or any other information of a material, non-public nature relating to the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party may disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its Affiliates, its employees and its consultants, in each case if such Affiliates, employees, and consultants have a need to know, and provided such Affiliates, employees and consultants (i) use the Confidential Information for the purposes of the Relationship only, and (ii) are bound to protect the Confidential Information as required hereunder. The Parties shall each be responsible for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by them or their respective Affiliates or representatives and agree, at their sole expense, to take all reasonable measures (including but not limited to court proceedings) to restrain their respective Affiliates or representatives from prohibited or unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information.
3.   The restrictions of this Agreement on use and disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to information that: (a) the Receiving Party can demonstrate is in the possession or control of such

L-1


 

    Party at the time of its disclosure hereunder; (b) is or becomes publicly known, through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (c) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was received by such Party from a third party free to disclose it without obligation (whether contractual, legal, fiduciary or otherwise) to the Disclosing Party; (d) the Receiving Party can demonstrate was developed independently by such Party without reference to the Confidential Information; or (e) is lawfully required to be disclosed..
4.   Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement shall be and remain the property of the Disclosing Party. Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party at any time, shall promptly return or destroy all such tangible Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession, and no such Confidential Information shall thereafter be retained in any form by the Receiving Party except that the Receiving Party may retain a copy of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in the possession of outside counsel of its own choosing for use solely in the event a dispute arises hereunder and only in connection with such dispute or as otherwise required by law. The Receiving Party shall be fully responsible for the return or destruction of all Confidential Information disclosed to its Affiliates, its employees and its consultants.
5.   Without the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Party will disclose to any third party any Confidential Information, including without limitation any of the terms or conditions relating to the Relationship being discussed by the Parties, or the existence of this Agreement.
6.   This Agreement shall become effective on the date first set forth above and shall continue for a period of three (3) years, or until a further agreement is entered into by and between the Parties, whichever shall occur first.
7.   The term “Affiliate” means any person or entity controlling controlled by or under common control with a Party.
8.   This Agreement: (a) is the complete Agreement of the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior Agreements, understandings or discussions with respect to the subject matter hereof; (b) shall not be construed to create any obligation on the part of either Party to create the Relationship or to compensate the other Party in any manner; (c) may not be amended or and any manner codified except in a writing signed by the Parties; and (d) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida except with regard to conflict of laws rules. Each party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of the State of Florida in Miami-Dade County, Florida and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida. Each party acknowledges that such Confidential Information is unique and valuable to the Disclosing Party. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall be enforced as fully as possible and the unenforceable provisions shall be deemed modified to the limited extent required to permit its enforcement in a manner most closely representing the intention of the Parties as expressed herein. Without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to the Parties, each Party recognizes and agrees that the Disclosing Party would not have an adequate remedy at law if the Receiving Party were to violate the covenants and agreements set forth herein and acknowledges that a breach of the covenants and agreements set forth herein would cause irreparable harm and damage to the Disclosing Party and that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by either Party or their respective Affiliates and representatives and, accordingly, that either Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive and specific performance, if either Party or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which shall constitute the same Agreement.

Such Pledgor has not filed, nor authorized any third party to file a financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, those filed by the holder of a Permitted Collateral Lien relating to the Permitted Collateral Liens or as are permitted by the Purchase Agreement or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination statements listed on Schedule 9 to the Perfection Certificate. No person other than the Agent has control or possession of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, except as permitted by the Purchase Agreement.

The security interest and Lien granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement in and on

17


 

the Pledged Collateral will at all times constitute a perfected, continuing security interest therein, subject only to Permitted Collateral Liens.
     SECTION 4.3. Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor shall, at its own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Collateral Liens (other than Contested Liens). There is no agreement, and no Pledgor shall enter into any agreement or take any other action, that would restrict the transferability of any of the Pledged Collateral or otherwise impair or conflict with such Pledgors’ obligations or the rights of the Agent hereunder, except as permitted herein or by the Purchase Agreement.

So long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid, no Pledgor shall execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing statement (or similar statement or instrument of registration under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted by such Pledgor to the holder of the Permitted Collateral Liens.

     (b) The Agent may rely on opinions of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Pledgors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in Section 7.15(a) of the Purchase Agreement. If any Pledgor fails to provide information to the Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected security interest in such Pledgor’s property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if any Pledgor does not inform the Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by any Pledgor.
     SECTION 4.6. Location of Inventory and Equipment. It shall not move any Equipment or Inventory to any location other than one within the continental United States and until (i) it shall have given the Agent not less than 30 days’ prior written notice (in the form of an Officers’ Certificate) of its intention so to do, clearly describing such new location within the continental United States and providing such other information in connection therewith as the Agent may request and (ii) with respect to such new location, such Pledgor shall have taken all action reasonably satisfactory to the Agent to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interest of the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the Pledged Collateral intended to

     SECTION 4.7. Due Authorization and Issuance. All of the Initial Pledged Shares have been, and to the extent any Pledged Shares are hereafter issued, such Pledged Shares will be, upon such issuance, duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable. All of the Initial Pledged Interests have been fully paid for, and there is no amount or other obligation owing by any Pledgor to any issuer of the Initial Pledged Interests in exchange for or in connection with the issuance of the Initial Pledged Interests or any Pledgor’s status as a partner or a member of any issuer of the Initial Pledged Interests.
     SECTION 4.8. Consents, etc. In the event that the Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Agent, such Pledgor agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid the Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.
     SECTION 4.9. Pledged Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules annexed hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party, including the Perfection Certificate and the schedules thereto, in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Pledged Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects.

     SECTION 4.10. Insurance. In the event that the proceeds of any insurance claim are paid after the Agent has exercised its right to foreclose after an Event of Default, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be paid to the Agent to satisfy any deficiency remaining after such foreclosure.
     SECTION 4.11. Payment of Taxes; Compliance with Laws; Contesting Liens; Claims. Each Pledgor represents and warrants that all Claims imposed upon or assessed against the Pledged Collateral have been paid and discharged except to the extent such Claims constitute a Lien not yet due and payable which is a Contested Lien or a Permitted Collateral Lien. Each Pledgor shall comply with all Requirements of Law applicable to the Pledged Collateral the failure to comply with which would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Pledgor may at its own expense contest the validity, amount or applicability of any Claims so long as the contest thereof shall be conducted in accordance with, and permitted pursuant to the provisions of, the Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.11, (i) no contest of any such obligation may be pursued by such Pledgor if such contest would expose the Agent or any other Secured Party to (A) any possible criminal liability or (B) any additional civil liability for failure to comply with such obligations

19


 

unless such Pledgor shall have furnished a bond or other security therefor satisfactory to the Agent, or such Secured Party, as the case may be and (ii) if at any time payment or performance of any obligation contested by such Pledgor pursuant to this Section 4.11 shall become necessary to prevent the imposition of remedies because of non-payment, such Pledgor shall pay or perform the same in sufficient time to prevent the imposition of remedies in respect of such default or prospective default.
     SECTION 4.12. Access to Pledged Collateral, Books and Records; Other Information. Except as provided in the Purchase Agreement, upon reasonable request to each Pledgor and upon the execution of a confidentiality agreement substantially in the form set forth in the Purchase Agreement or as otherwise mutually acceptable to the Issuer and the Agent, the Agent, its agents, accountants and attorneys shall have full and free access to visit and inspect, as applicable, during normal business hours and such other reasonable times as may be requested by the Agent all of the Pledged Collateral including all of the books, correspondence and records of such Pledgor relating thereto. The Agent and its representatives may examine the same, take extracts therefrom and make photocopies thereof, and such Pledgor agrees to render to the Agent, at such Pledgor’s cost and expense, such clerical and other assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Agent with regard thereto. Such Pledgor shall, at any and all times, within a reasonable time after written request by the Agent, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Agent, in such manner and in such detail as may be reasonably requested by the Agent, additional information with respect to the Pledged Collateral.

Each Pledgor shall promptly (i) provide to the Agent written notice of any of the foregoing and (ii) confirm the attachment of the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement to any rights described in clauses (i) and (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 6.3 by execution of an instrument in form reasonably

          (iii) Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct any Pledgor to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;
          (iv) Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing any Pledgor in writing to deliver the same to the Agent at any place or places so designated by the Agent, in which event such Pledgor shall at its own expense: (A) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Agent and therewith delivered to the Agent, (B) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Agent and (C) while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition.

           Section 9.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of any or all of the Pledged Collateral at any such sale and shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of any Pledged Collateral payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any Pledged Collateral may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale, even if the Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree.
     SECTION 9.2. Notice of Sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of Pledged Collateral shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to any Pledgor if it has signed, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.
     SECTION 9.3. Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Agent’s taking possession or the Agent’s disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or remedies and any such right which such Pledgor would otherwise have under law, and each Pledgor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article IX in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the applicable Pledgor therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against such Pledgor and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged

27


 

Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under such Pledgor.
     SECTION 9.4. Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.
          (i) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.
          (ii) Each Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and applicable state securities laws, the Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Securities Collateral, to limit purchasers to persons who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Securities Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions (including a public offering made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Securities Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register it for a form of public sale requiring registration under the Securities Act or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
          (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, at the reasonable request of the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent, cause any registration, qualification under or compliance with any Federal or state securities law or laws to be effected with respect to all or any part of the Securities Collateral as soon as practicable and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors. Each Pledgor will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration to be effected (and be kept effective) and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such qualification and compliance to be effected (and be kept effective) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of such Securities Collateral including registration under the Securities Act (or any similar statute then in effect), appropriate qualifications under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with all other requirements of any Governmental Authority. Each Pledgor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Agent to be kept advised in writing as to the progress of each such registration, qualification or compliance and as to the completion thereof, shall furnish to the Agent such number of prospectuses, offering circulars or other documents incident thereto as the Agent from time to time may request, and shall indemnify and shall cause the issuer of the Securities Collateral to indemnify the Agent and all others participating in the

28


 

distribution of such Securities Collateral against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities caused by any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) or by any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein (or in any related registration statement, notification or the like) a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
          (iv) If the Agent determines to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Securities Collateral, upon written request, the applicable Pledgor shall from time to time furnish to the Agent all such information as the Agent may request in order to determine the number of securities included in the Securities Collateral which may be sold by the Agent as exempt transactions under the Securities Act and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, as the same are from time to time in effect.
          (v) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Agent 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 9.4 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
     SECTION 9.5. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.
          (i) No failure on the part of the Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy; nor shall the Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security, collateral or guaranties. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
          (ii) In the event that the Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Agreement by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Agent, then and in every such case, the Pledgors, the Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.
     SECTION 9.6. Certain Additional Actions Regarding Intellectual Property. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon the written demand of the Agent, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Agent an assignment or assignments of the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights and Goodwill constituting Intellectual Property Collateral and such other documents as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the intent and purposes hereof. Within five (5) Business Days of written notice thereafter from the Agent, each Pledgor shall make available to the Agent, to the extent within such Pledgor’s power and authority, such

29


 

personnel in such Pledgor’s employ on the date of the Event of Default as the Agent may reasonably designate to permit such Pledgor to continue, directly or indirectly, to produce, advertise and sell the products and services sold by such Pledgor under the registered Patents, Trademarks and/or Copyrights constituting Intellectual Property Collateral, and such persons shall be available to perform their prior functions on the Agent’s behalf.

The proceeds received by the Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral pursuant to the exercise by the Agent of its remedies shall be applied, together with any other sums then held by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement, in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS
     SECTION 11.1. Concerning Agent.
          (i) The Agent has been appointed as collateral agent pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The actions of the Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement. The Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Purchase Agreement. The Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. The Agent may resign and a successor Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Purchase Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Agent by a successor Agent, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Agent.
          (ii) The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Securities Collateral, whether or not the Agent or any other Secured Party has or

30


 

is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
          (iii) The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
          (iv) If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the Agent, in its sole discretion, shall select which provision or provisions shall control.
     SECTION 11.2. Agent May Perform; Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If any Pledgor shall fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement (including such Pledgor’s covenants to (i) pay the premiums in respect of all required insurance policies hereunder, (ii) pay Claims, (iii) make repairs, (iv) discharge Liens or (v) pay or perform any obligations of such Pledgor under any Pledged Collateral) or if any representation or warranty on the part of any Pledgor contained herein shall be breached, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, lien, imposition or other obligation which such Pledgor fails to pay or perform as and when required hereby and which such Pledgor does not contest in accordance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.11 hereof. Any and all amounts so expended by the Agent shall be paid by the Pledgors in accordance with the provisions of Section 13 of the Purchase Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 11.2 nor any action taken by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in the name of such Pledgor, or otherwise, from time to time in the Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof. The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.
     SECTION 11.3. Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) be binding upon the Pledgors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of any Pledgor) shall have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise

31


 

transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.
     SECTION 11.4. Termination; Release. When all the Obligations have been paid in full, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement the Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon the transfer of any Pledged Collateral that is permitted by Section 7.19(a) or Section 8.05 of the Purchase Agreement to a party that in not the Issuer or a Guarantor, such Pledged Collateral shall be released from the Lien of this Agreement. Upon such release or any release of Pledged Collateral in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors, assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Agent except as to the fact that the Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Agent and as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC 3 termination statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.
     SECTION 11.5. Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and unless in writing and signed by the Agent. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by any Pledgor from the terms of any provision hereof shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Obligations, no notice to or demand on any Pledgor in any case shall entitle any Pledgor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
     SECTION 11.6. Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Purchase Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Purchase Agreement, as to any Pledgor, addressed to it at the address of the Issuer set forth in the Purchase Agreement and as to the Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Purchase Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11.6.
     SECTION 11.7. Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Section 15.08 of the Purchase Agreement is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if a part hereof.
     SECTION 11.8. Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

32


 

     SECTION 11.9. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
     SECTION 11.10. Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.
     SECTION 11.11. No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. Such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Purchase Agreement, and such Pledgor shall not be entitled to any credit against any other sums which may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.
     SECTION 11.12. No Claims Against Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any consent or request by the Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving any Pledgor any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.
     SECTION 11.13. No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement shall relieve any Pledgor from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or shall impose any obligation on the Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on such Pledgor’s part to be so performed or observed or shall impose any liability on the Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of such Pledgor relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of such Pledgor contained in this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the other Basic Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith.

  (i)   any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;

     B. As a condition to closing of the Purchase Agreement, the parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows:
     1. Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
     2. Representations of the Purchasers. The Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company as follows:
          (a) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the certificates representing the Shares shall bear a legend in substantially the form appearing below (unless subsequently registered under the Act) in addition to any other legend required by a subordination agreement or intercreditor agreement:
“THE COMMON STOCK EVIDENCED HEREBY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, ASSIGNED OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (i) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT HAS BECOME EFFECTIVE AND IS CURRENT WITH RESPECT TO THESE SECURITIES, OR (ii) PURSUANT TO A SPECIFIC EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT BUT ONLY (EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A TRANSFER MADE PURSUANT TO RULE 144,

 


 

RULE 144A OR REGULATION S PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT) UPON THE COMPANY FIRST HAVING OBTAINED THE WRITTEN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE CORPORATION, OR OTHER COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE CORPORATION, THAT THE PROPOSED DISPOSITION IS CONSISTENT WITH ALL APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AS WELL AS ANY APPLICABLE “BLUE SKY” OR SIMILAR SECURITIES LAWS.”
     The Purchaser also acknowledges that the Company may place a stop transfer order against transfer of any of the Shares, if necessary in the Company’s reasonable judgment, in order to assure compliance by the Purchaser with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and this Agreement.
          (b) The individual executing this Agreement has appropriate authority to act on behalf of the Purchaser. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of such Purchaser and constitutes the valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser, enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except that the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought).
     3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Purchaser that the Company has full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms (except in all cases as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws. affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except that the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding may be brought).
     4. Covenants of the Purchaser. The Purchaser agrees and covenants that it will not sell, transfer or make any disposition of any securities of the Company after the effectiveness of any registration statement relating to a primary public offering by the Company for a period of time as required by the managing underwriter of any such offering not to exceed 90 days; provided that each director, executive officer and 5% or greater shareholder of the Company shall have agreed to such restrictions for the same time period.
     5. Registration and Listing of Shares . The Company hereby agrees with the Purchasers that:
          (a) (i) (i) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file or cause to be filed, a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act, to permit the resale by a holder thereof of the Shares and to have such registration statement

2


 

declared effective no later than 180 days following the Closing Date (the “Effectiveness Deadline”).
               (ii) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective until the earlier to occur of (A) the date on which the shares are transferable without registration pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act with respect to the Purchaser and (B) such time as all the Shares covered by the Registration Statement have been sold or are otherwise freely tradable without registration under the Securities Act (the “Effectiveness Period”).
          (b) In connection with the foregoing, the Company will:
               (i) Prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become and remain effective.
               (ii) Prepare and file with the 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 and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement whenever the holder of such securities shall desire to sell the same.
               (iii) Furnish to each holder of shares such number of copies of a summary prospectus or other prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such holder may reasonably request in order to facilitate the sale of the Common Stock owned by holder.
               (iv) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under applicable blue sky laws, and do such other reasonable acts and things as may be required in jurisdictions to which such blue sky laws apply; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or qualify as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction.
          (c) Deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by such holder, including those to evidence compliance with Section (b)(ii) hereof.
          (d) If requested, promptly include or incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement such information as such holder requests should be included therein and to which the Company does not reasonably object and shall make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment as soon as practicable after it is notified of the matters to be included or incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment.
          (e) All of the expenses incurred in complying with the foregoing, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees (including all expenses incident to filing with the NASD), printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, expenses of

3


 

any special audits incident to or required by any such registration and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws or any jurisdictions shall be paid by the Company.
          (f) The Company shall also use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Common Stock to be listed on the American Stock Exchange or such other principal national securities exchange on which the shares of Common Stock are then listed or if the shares are not so listed, on The NASDAQ Stock Market, if the shares are then listed on such market.
          (g) The Purchaser shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself and, the Shares beneficially owned by it and the intended method of disposition of the Shares beneficially owned by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Shares and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request.
     6. Indemnification. In the event of any offer of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof hereof, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, each underwriter, if any, of such Shares, and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including, without limitation, any action brought under Section 11 or Section 12 of the Securities Act) which arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement under which the Shares were registered and offered under the Act or any prospectus contained therein, 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 not misleading, and will reimburse such Purchaser, each such underwriter, and each such controlling person for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser, such underwriter or controlling person in connection with the investigation or defense of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Company 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement or such prospectus in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser, such underwriter or such controlling person, specifically for use in preparation thereof, provided further, that the Company shall not file any such Registration Statement or prospectus containing information relating to such Purchaser without providing the Purchaser with an opportunity to review and, to the extent incorrect, correct such information.
     In the event of any offer of the Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Purchaser, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each person who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act, and each officer and director of the Company from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company, such controlling person or any such officer or director may become subject under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof including, without limitation, any action brought under Section 11 or Section 12 of the Securities Act) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such

4


 

post-effective amendment or other Registration Statement under which such Shares were offered or any prospectus contained therein, 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 not misleading, which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made therein in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser or such controlling person specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof (provided that the Company shall have afforded the Purchaser with an opportunity to review, and to the extent incorrect, correct such information prior to the filing thereof), and to reimburse the Company, each such controlling person and each such officer or director for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating, or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that any such indemnification obligation shall be individual to a Purchaser and limited to an aggregate maximum dollar amount not to exceed the aggregate dollar amount of the proceeds received by the Purchaser in any such offering.
     Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action or the assertion of a claim that may be subject to indemnification hereunder, such indemnified party, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, will give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement or assertion thereof. Indemnification provided for under this Section 6 shall not be available to the indemnified party if it shall fail to give such notice to the indemnifying party (if the indemnifying party was not aware of the action) to the extent the indemnifying party was prejudiced by failure to receive such notice, but the omission to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability it otherwise may have to the indemnified party. In case any such action is brought or such assertion is made against any indemnified party, and it notifies any indemnifying party of such commencement or assertion, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof, other than the reasonable cost of investigation.
     7. Liquidated Damages. If the Registration Statement covering the securities required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Deadline, or the Registration Statement shall cease to be effective at any time after the Effectiveness Deadline but prior to the termination of the Effectiveness Period (a “Noneffective Period”), then the Company shall make the payments to the Purchaser as provided in the next sentence as liquidated damages and not as a penalty; provided however, that if after a Registration Statement is declared effective the Board of Directors of the Company reasonably determines in good faith that the continued effectiveness of the filing of such Registration Statement at such time would be materially detrimental to the Company and it is therefore necessary to suspend the filing of such Registration Statement the Company may suspend the effectiveness of such Registration Statement for a period of time not to exceed 90 days in any 12 month period without incurring any liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 7 for such Noneffective Period. The amount to be paid by the Company to each Purchaser shall be determined as of each Computation Date (as defined below), and such amount

5


 

per share shall be equal to 0.5% (the “Liquidated Damage Rate”) of the total proceeds received by the Company pursuant to the sale of the Notes divided by the aggregate number of shares into which the Notes are convertible on the Computation Date for the period from the Effectiveness Deadline or the commencement of a Noneffective Period, as applicable, to the first Computation Date, and for each 30-day period of any subsequent Computation Dates thereafter, calculated on a pro rata basis to the date on which the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (the “Periodic Amount”). The full Periodic Amount shall be paid by the Company to the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three days after each Computation Date. As used in this Section 7, “Computation Date” means the date which is 30 days after the Effectiveness Deadline or the commencement of a Noneffective Period, as applicable, and, if the Registration Statement to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 5 has not theretofore been declared effective by the Commission, each date which is 30 days after the previous Computation Date until such Registration Statement is so declared effective.
     8. Rule 144. The Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder, and it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Shares without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (a) Rule 144 under the Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (b) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of the Purchaser, the Company will deliver to it a written statement as to whether the. Company has complied with such information disclosure and other requirements.
     9. Notices.

ARTICLE II.
THE SECURITIES
     2.1 Form and Dating.
          The Securities and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A, which is incorporated in and forms a part of this Indenture. The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
          Securities offered and sold in reliance on Rule 144A shall be issued either (a) in definitive form or (b) in the form of one or more Global Securities, substantially in the form set

7


 

forth in Exhibit A (the “Global Security”), deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, duly executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and bearing the legends set forth in Exhibits B-1 and B-2. The aggregate principal amount of the Global Security may from time to time be increased or decreased by adjustments made on the records of the Trustee, as custodian for the Depositary, as hereinafter provided; provided, that in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of the Global Security or Securities exceed $4,000,000.
     Securities issued in exchange for interests in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15 may be issued in the form of permanent certificated Securities in registered form in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A (the “Physical Securities”) and, if applicable, bearing any legends required by Section 2.17.
          The Securities shall bear the legends set forth in Exhibit B-3.
     2.2 Execution And Authentication.
          One Officer shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature. If an Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be valid. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture. Upon the Trustee’s receipt of a Company Order and the other documents required by Section 12.4 and 12.5 hereof, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue in the aggregate principal amount of $4,000,000 and such additional principal amount, if any, as shall be determined pursuant to the next sentence of this Section 2.2. The aggregate principal amount of Securities outstanding at any time may not exceed $4,000,000 except as provided in this Section 2.2.
     The Trustee shall act as the initial authenticating agent. Thereafter, the Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such authenticating agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as a Security Agent to deal with the Company and its Affiliates.
     The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and any integral multiple thereof.
     2.3 Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent.
          The Company shall maintain an office or agency where Securities may be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”), an office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”) and an office or agency where Securities may be presented for conversion (“Conversion Agent”). The Registrar shall keep a register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint or change one or more co-registrars, one or more additional paying agents and one or more additional conversion agents without notice and may act in any such capacity on its own behalf.

8


 

The term “Registrar” includes any co-Registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent; and the term “Conversion Agent” includes any additional conversion agent.
     The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Security Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Security Agent. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Security Agent not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent or Conversion Agent, the Trustee shall act as such.
     The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Securities may be presented for the registration or transfer and exchange at the offices of the Register which initially will be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.
     2.4 Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust.
          Each Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of the Securityholders or the Trustee all moneys held by the Paying Agent for the payment of the Securities, and shall notify the Trustee of any Default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such Default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold as a separate trust fund all money held by it as Paying Agent.
     2.5 Securityholder Lists.
          The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee on or before each July 1 and January 1 (of if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day, such dates, the “Interest Payment Date”) and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of Securityholders as set forth in the Note Register.
     2.6 Transfer and Exchange.
          Subject to Sections 2.15 and 2.16 hereof, when Securities are presented to the Registrar with a request to register their transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transaction are met. The Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restricted legends as may be required by this Indenture. Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Registrar pursuant to Section 2.3. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive bearing

9


 

registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding. All Securities presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar, and the Securities shall be duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. The Company, the Trustee and the Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected for Redemption under Section 3.4 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) that has been selected for repurchase or for which a Purchase Notice has been delivered, and not withdrawn, in accordance with this Indenture, except the unredeemed or unrepurchased portion of Securities being redeemed or repurchased in part.
     No service charge shall be made for any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, exchange or conversion of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.10, 9.5 or 10.3, or Article III, not involving any transfer.
     2.7 Replacement Securities.
          If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.2 shall authenticate a replacement Security upon surrender to the Trustee of the mutilated Security, or upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of the loss, destruction or theft of the Security satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company. In the case of lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Securities, an indemnity bond must be provided by the Holder that is reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee or any Security Agent from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Trustee may charge for its expenses in replacing a Security.
          In case any such mutilated, lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security when due.
          Every replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company only as provided in Section 2.8.
     2.8 Outstanding Securities.
          Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those converted, those cancelled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those paid pursuant to Section 2.7 and those described in this Section 2.8 as not outstanding. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.9, a Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates holds the Security.
     If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.7, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it, or a court holds, that the replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser.

10


 

     If the Paying Agent (other than the Company) holds on a Redemption Date, Repurchase Date or Maturity Date, money (and, if applicable as provided herein and in accordance herewith, shares of Common Stock) sufficient to pay the aggregate Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or principal amount, as the case may be, with respect to all Securities to be redeemed, purchased or paid upon Redemption, Repurchase Upon Change in Control or maturity, as the case may be, in each case plus, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Redemption, Repurchase Upon Change in Control or maturity, then (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of such aggregate Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or principal amount, or of such accrued and unpaid interest, interest on such Securities shall cease to accrue, and such Securities shall be deemed paid whether or not such Securities are delivered to the Paying Agent.
     Thereafter, all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate with respect to such Securities, other than the right to receive the Redemption Price, Repurchase Price or principal amount, as the case may be, plus, if applicable, such accrued and unpaid interest, in accordance with this Indenture.
     If a Security is converted in accordance with Article X, then, from and after the time of such conversion on the Conversion Date, such Security shall cease to be outstanding, and interest, if any, shall cease to accrue on such Security; provided, however, that nothing in this paragraph shall affect the provision in the Registration Rights Agreement for additional interest on shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of such Security.
     2.9 Securities Held by the Company or An Affiliate.
          In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Securities owned by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall be considered as though not outstanding, except that, for the purposes of determining whether a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent, only Securities which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be considered to be outstanding for purposes of this Section 2.9 if the pledgee establishes, to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the pledgee’s right so to concur with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not, and is not acting at the direction or on behalf of, the Company, any other obligor on the Securities, an Affiliate of the Company or any such other obligor. In the event of a dispute as to whether the pledgee has established the foregoing, the Trustee may conclusively rely on the advice of counsel of its selection or on an Officers’ Certificate.
     2.10 Temporary Securities.
          Until definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and, upon receipt of a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.2, the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities. Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the

11


 

Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable upon its receipt of a Company Order, authenticate definitive Securities in exchange for such temporary Securities.
     2.11 Cancellation.
          The Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange, payment or conversion. The Trustee shall promptly cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment, conversion or cancellation in accordance with its customary procedures. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or that any Securityholder has converted pursuant to Article X.
     2.12 Defaulted Interest.
          If and to the extent the Company defaults in a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent not prohibited by applicable statute or case law, interest on such defaulted interest at the rate provided in the Securities. The Company may pay the defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to the persons who are Securityholders on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix such record date and payment date. At least fifteen (15) calendar days before the record date, the Company shall mail to Securityholders a notice that states the record date, payment date and amount of interest to be paid.
     2.13 CUSIP Numbers.
          The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” numbers, and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that no representation is hereby deemed to be made by the Trustee as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP numbers printed on the notice or on the Securities; provided further, that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and the effectiveness of any such notice shall not be affected by any defect in, or omission of, such CUSIP numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP numbers.
     2.14 Deposit of Moneys.
          Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on each interest payment date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, or Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 2.4) money, in funds immediately available on such date, (and, if applicable as provided herein and in accordance herewith, shares of Common Stock) sufficient to make cash payments, if any, due on such interest payment date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date, or Repurchase Date, as the case may be, in a timely manner which permits the Paying Agent to remit payment to the Holders on such interest payment date, Maturity Date, Redemption Date or Repurchase Date, as the case may be.

     2.15 Book-Entry Provisions for Global Securities.
          (a) The Global Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for such Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth in Section 2.17.
     Members of, or participants in, the Depositary (“Participants”) shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between the Depositary and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Security.
          (b) Transfers of Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. In addition, Physical Securities shall be transferred to all beneficial owners, as identified by the Depositary, in exchange for their beneficial interests in Global Securities only if (i) the Depositary notifies the Company that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for any Global Security (or the Depositary ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act) and a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of such notice or cessation or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Registrar has received a written request from the Depositary to issue Physical Securities.
          (c) In connection with the transfer of a Global Security in its entirety to beneficial owners pursuant to Section 2.15(b), such Global Security shall be deemed to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall upon receipt of a Company Order authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized denominations.
          (d) Any Physical Security constituting a Restricted Security delivered in exchange for an interest in a Global Security pursuant to Section 2.15(c) shall, except as otherwise provided by Section 2.16, bear the Private Placement Legend.
          (e) The Holder of any Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person, including Participants and Persons that may hold interests through Participants, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.
     2.16 Special Transfer Provisions.
          (a) Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange of Global Securities. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, but except as provided in Section 2.15(b), a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another

13


 

nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
          (b) Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities not bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or co-registrar shall deliver Securities that do not bear the Private Placement Legend. Upon the transfer, exchange or replacement of Securities bearing the Private Placement Legend, the Registrar or co-Registrar shall deliver only Securities that bear the Private Placement Legend unless (i) the requested transfer is after the Resale Restriction Termination Date, (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Company an Opinion of Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company and addressed to the Trustee and the Company to the effect that neither such legend nor the related restrictions on transfer are required in order to maintain compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act or (iii) such Security has been sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement under the Securities Act and the Holder that sold such Securities has delivered to the Registrar or co-Registrar a notice in the form of Exhibit C hereto. Upon the effectiveness, under the Securities Act, of a Registration Statement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a notice of effectiveness, a Global Security or Global Securities, which do not bear the Private Placement Legend, a Company Order in accordance with Section 2.2 and an Opinion of Counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, and, if required by the Depositary, the Company shall deliver to the Depositary a letter of representations in a form reasonably acceptable to the Depositary. Upon the effectiveness of any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement and upon the effectiveness, under the Securities Act, of any subsequent Registration Statement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a notice of effectiveness and an Opinion of Counsel in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon any sale, pursuant to a Registration Statement, of a beneficial interest in a Global Security that theretofore constituted a Restricted Security and delivery of evidence thereof acceptable to the Trustee, and upon any sale or transfer of a beneficial interest in connection with which the Private Placement Legend will be removed in accordance with this Indenture, the Trustee shall increase the principal amount of the Global Security that does not constitute a Restricted Security by the principal amount of such sale or transfer and likewise reduce the principal amount of the Global Security that does constitute a Restricted Security.
          (c) General. By its acceptance of any Security bearing the Private Placement Legend, each Holder of such a Security acknowledges the restrictions on transfer of such Security set forth in this Indenture and in the Private Placement Legend and agrees that it will transfer such Security only as provided in this Indenture.
     The Registrar shall retain copies of all letters, notices and other written communications received pursuant to Section 2.15 or this Section 2.16. The Company shall have the right to inspect and make copies of all such letters, notices or other written communications at any reasonable time upon the giving of reasonable written notice to the Registrar.
     Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities law.

14


 

     The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or among Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.
     Neither the Trustee nor any Security Agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken or not taken by the Depositary.
          (d) Transfers of Securities Held by Affiliates. Any certificate (i) evidencing a Security that has been transferred to an Affiliate within two (2) years after the Issue Date, as evidenced by a notation on the assignment form for such transfer or in the representation letter delivered in respect thereof or (ii) evidencing a Security that has been acquired from an Affiliate (other than by an Affiliate) in a transaction or a chain of transactions not involving any public offering, shall, until two (2) years after the last date on which the Company or any of its Affiliates was an owner of such Security (or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws), in each case, bear the Private Placement Legend, unless otherwise agreed by the Company (with written notice thereof to the Trustee).
     2.17 Restrictive Legends.
          Each Global Security and Physical Security that constitutes a Restricted Security shall bear the legend (the “Private Placement Legend”) as set forth in Exhibit B-1 on the face thereof until after the second anniversary of the later of (i) the Issue Date and (ii) the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of such Security (or any predecessor security) (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, as set forth in an Opinion of Counsel, unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the Holder thereof) (such date, the “Resale Restriction Termination Date”).
     Each Global Security shall also bear the legend as set forth in Exhibit B-2.
ARTICLE III.

Monthly Period   Percentage
After Month Six and Before Month Twelve
    113.00 %
On or After Month Twelve and Before Month Eighteen
    112.40 %

          If the Company elects to redeem Securities pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Securities, it shall notify the Trustee in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the mailing, in accordance with Section 3.4, of the Redemption (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Redemption Date, the applicable provision of this Indenture pursuant to which the Redemption is to be made and the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed.
     3.3 Securities to be Redeemed.
     The Company, the Trustee and the Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Securities that have been selected for Redemption, except the unredeemed portion of Securities being redeemed in part. The Company, the Trustee and the Registrar need not issue, authenticate, register the transfer of or exchange any Security for a period of fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of Redemption, pursuant to this Article III, of Securities to be redeemed.
     3.4 Notice of Redemption.
          At least twenty (20) days but not more than sixty (60) days before a Redemption Date, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, a notice of Redemption to the Initial Purchaser and each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed, at the address of such Holder appearing in the Note Register.
     The notice shall identify the Securities and the aggregate principal amount thereof to be redeemed pursuant to a Redemption and shall state:

16


 

          (i) the Redemption Date;
          (ii) the Redemption Payment;
          (iii) the Conversion Price;
          (iv) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
          (v) that the right to convert the Securities called for Redemption will terminate at the close of business on the Redemption Date, unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Redemption Payment;
          (vi) that Holders who want to convert Securities must satisfy the requirements of Article X;
          (vii) the paragraph of the Securities pursuant to which the Securities are to be redeemed;
          (viii) that Securities called for Redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the Redemption Payment;
          (ix) that, unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Redemption Payment, interest on Securities called for Redemption ceases to accrue on and after the Redemption Date, such Securities will cease to be convertible after the close of business on the Redemption Date, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate on and after the Redemption Date, other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Securities and in accordance with the Indenture, the Redemption Payment; and
          (x) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Securities.
     The right, pursuant to Article X, to convert Securities called for Redemption shall terminate at the close of business on the Redemption Date, unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Redemption Payment.
     At the Company’s request, upon reasonable prior written notice agreed to by the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the notice of Redemption in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, that the form and content of such notice shall be prepared by the Company.
     3.5 Effect of Notice of Redemption.
          Once notice of Redemption is mailed, Securities called for Redemption become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the Redemption Payment, and, on and after such Redemption Date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Redemption Payment Amount), such Securities shall cease to bear interest, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Securities and

17


 

in accordance with the next sentence, the Redemption Payment. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of a Security subject to Redemption, such Security shall be paid, to the Holder surrendering such Security, at the Redemption Payment. If the Redemption Date is an interest payment date, the Company shall pay, on such Redemption Date, the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on the record date for such interest payment, and such accrued and unpaid interest shall not be paid to the Holder submitting such Security for Redemption (unless such Holder was the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on the record date for such interest payment).
     If any Security shall not be fully and duly paid upon surrender thereof for Redemption, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by such Security on the principal amount of such Security, and such Security shall continue to be convertible pursuant to Article X.
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to a Redemption if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the mailing of the notice of Redemption specified in Section 3.4) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a Default in the payment of the Redemption Payment). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities held by it during the continuance of such an Event of Default.
     3.6 Deposit of Redemption Price.
          Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 2.4) money, in funds immediately available on the Redemption Date, and, if applicable as provided herein and in accordance herewith, shares of Common Stock, sufficient to pay the Redemption Payment. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for that purpose.
     3.7 Intentionally Omitted.
     3.8 Repurchase at Option of Holder Upon a Change in Control.
          (a) In the event any Change in Control (as defined below) shall occur, each Holder of Securities shall have the right (the “Repurchase Right”), at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase all of such Holder’s Securities (or portions thereof that are integral multiples of $1,000 in principal amount), on a date selected by the Company (the “Repurchase Date”), which Repurchase Date shall be no later than forty five (45) days after the date of the Change in Control (as defined below), at a price, payable in cash, equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of the Securities (or portions thereof) to be so repurchased (the “Repurchase Price”), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, and including, the Repurchase Date, upon:
          (i) delivery to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent), or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Change in

18


 

Control Notice (as defined below), no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, of a Purchase Notice, in the form set forth in the Securities or any other form of written notice substantially similar thereto, in each case, duly completed and signed, with appropriate signature guarantee, stating:
          (a) the certificate number(s) of the Securities which the Holder will deliver to be repurchased;
          (b) the principal amount of Securities to be repurchased, which must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof; and
          (c) that such principal amount of Securities are to be repurchased pursuant to the terms and conditions specified in Paragraph 8 of the Securities and in this Indenture; and
          (ii) delivery to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent), or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Change in Control Notice, at any time after the delivery of such Purchase Notice, of such Securities (together with all necessary endorsements) with respect to which the Repurchase Right is being exercised, such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Repurchase Price therefor plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Change in Control.
     If such Securities are held in book-entry form through the Depositary, the Purchase Notice shall comply with applicable procedures of the Depositary.
     Upon such delivery of Securities to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or such Paying Agent, such Holder shall be entitled to receive from the Company or such Paying Agent, as the case may be, a nontransferable receipt of deposit evidencing such delivery.
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering the Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 3.8(a) to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or to a Paying Agent designated by the Company for such purpose in the Change in Control Notice shall have the right to withdraw such Purchase Notice by delivery, at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date or such longer period as may be required by law, of a written notice of withdrawal to the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent) or the Paying Agent, which notice shall contain the information specified in Section 3.8(c)(xii).
     The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
          (b) INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
          (c) Within twenty five (25) days after the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to all Holders of record of the Securities at their addresses shown in the Registrar, and to beneficial owners as required by applicable law, a notice (the “Change In Control Notice”) of the occurrence of such Change in Control and the

19


 

Repurchase Right arising as a result thereof. The Company shall deliver a copy of the Change in Control Notice to the Trustee and shall cause a copy to be published at the expense of the Company in The New York Times or The Wall Street Journal or another newspaper of national circulation.
          Each Change in Control Notice shall state:
          (i) the events causing the Change in Control;
          (ii) the date of such Change in Control;
          (iii) the Repurchase Date;
          (iv) the date by which the Repurchase Right must be exercised;
          (v) the Repurchase Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Repurchase Date;
          (vi) whether the Company will pay the Repurchase Price in cash or shares of Common Stock or in a combination thereof, in each case specifying the percentages of the Repurchase Price in respect of which the Company will pay in cash or shares of Common Stock;
          (vii) the names and addresses of the Paying Agent and the Conversion Agent;
          (viii) a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise the Repurchase Right;
          (ix) that, in order to exercise the Repurchase Right, the Securities must be surrendered for payment of the Repurchase Price plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Change in Control;
          (x) that the Repurchase Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, and including, the Repurchase Date, for any Security as to which a Purchase Notice has been given and not withdrawn will be paid as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days, following the later of the Repurchase Date or the time of delivery of the Security as described in (ix);
          (xi) that, on and after the Repurchase Date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of such Repurchase Price or such accrued and unpaid interest), interest on Securities subject to Repurchase Upon Change in Control will cease to accrue, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, upon surrender of such Securities, the Repurchase Price and such accrued and unpaid interest;
          (xii) that a Holder will be entitled to withdraw its election in the Purchase Notice if the Company (if acting as its own Paying Agent), or the Paying Agent

20


 

receives, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, or such longer period as may be required by law, a letter or facsimile transmission (receipt of which is confirmed and promptly followed by a letter) setting forth (i) the name of such Holder, (ii) a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its election to have Securities repurchased, (iii) the principal amount of the Securities of such Holder to be so withdrawn, which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, (iv) the certificate number of such Securities to be so withdrawn, and (v) the principal amount, if any, of the Securities of such Holder that remain subject to the Purchase Notice delivered by such Holder in accordance with this Section 3.8, which amount must be $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof;
          (xiii) the Conversion Price and any adjustments to the Conversion Price that will result from the Change in Control;
          (xiv) that Securities with respect to which a Purchase Notice is given by a Holder may be converted pursuant to Article X, if otherwise convertible in accordance with Article X, only if such Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.8; and
          (xv) the CUSIP number or numbers, as the case may be, of the Securities.
          At the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall mail such Change in Control Notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Change in Control Notice shall be prepared by the Company.
          No failure of the Company to give a Change in Control Notice shall limit any Holder’s right to exercise a Repurchase Right.
          (d) Subject to the provisions of this Section 3.8, the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, the Repurchase Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, and including, the Repurchase Date, with respect to each Security as to which the Repurchase Right shall have been exercised to the Holder thereof as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than three (3) Business Days, following the later of the Repurchase Date and the time such Security is surrendered to the Paying Agent.
          (e) Prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time on a Repurchase Date, the Company shall deposit with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust in accordance with Section 2.4) money, in funds immediately available on the Repurchase Date, sufficient to pay the Repurchase Price, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, and including, the Repurchase Date, of all of the Securities that are to be repurchased by the Company on such Repurchase Date pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Change in Control. The Paying Agent shall return to the Company, as soon as practicable, any money not required for that purpose.
          (f) Once the Change in Control Notice and the Purchase Notice have been duly given in accordance with this Section 3.8, the Securities to be repurchased pursuant to a Repurchase Upon Change in Control shall, on the Repurchase Date, become due and payable at

21


 

the Repurchase Price (plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, and including, the Repurchase Date) applicable thereto, and, on and after such date (unless there shall be a Default in the payment of the Repurchase Price or such accrued and unpaid interest), such Securities shall cease to bear interest and shall cease to be convertible pursuant to Article X, and all rights of the Holders of such Securities shall terminate, other than the right to receive, in accordance with this Section 3.8, the Repurchase Price and such accrued and unpaid interest.
          (g) Securities with respect to which a Purchase Notice has been duly delivered in accordance with this Section 3.8 may be converted pursuant to Article X, if otherwise convertible in accordance with Article X, only if such Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in accordance with this Section 3.8 or if there shall be a Default in the payment of the Repurchase Price or in the accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Change in Control.
          (h) If any Security shall not be paid upon surrender thereof for Repurchase Upon Change in Control, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, such Security shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repurchase Date at the rate borne by such Security on the principal amount of such Security, and such Security shall continue to be convertible pursuant to Article X.
          (i) Any Security which is to be submitted for Repurchase Upon Change in Control only in part shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 3.8 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, of the same tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to the portion of such Security not submitted for Repurchase Upon Change in Control.
          (j) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no purchase of any Securities pursuant to this Section 3.8 if there has occurred (prior to, on or after, as the case may be, the giving, by the Holders of such Securities, of the required Purchase Notice) and is continuing an Event of Default (other than a Default in the payment of the Repurchase Price or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Repurchase Upon Change in Control). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Securities held by it during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than a Default in the payment of the Repurchase Price or such accrued and unpaid interest), in which case, upon such return, the Purchase Notice with respect to the Repurchase Upon Change in Control shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
          (k) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the option granted to Holders to require the repurchase of the Securities upon the occurrence of a Change in Control is determined to constitute a tender offer, the Company shall comply with all applicable tender offer rules under the Exchange Act, including Rule 13e-4 and Regulation 14E, and with all other applicable laws, and will file a Schedule TO or any other schedules required under the Exchange Act or any other applicable laws.

22


 

          (l) As used herein and in the Securities:
          A “Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
          (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a Permitted Holder, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of all classes of the Company’s Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors calculated on a fully-diluted basis; or

          (iii) the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act;
provided, however, that a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if at least eighty percent (80%) of the consideration (other than cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) in the merger or consolidation otherwise constituting the Change in Control consists of Common Stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests and any associated rights traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq National Market (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Change in Control), and, as a result of such transaction or transactions, the Securities become convertible solely into such common stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests and associated rights.

               (ix) any final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of fifteen million dollars ($15,000,000) shall be rendered against the Company and shall not be discharged for any period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which time a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect or during which time an appeal has not been filed; or

          If an Event of Default (excluding an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) with respect to the Company (but including an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(ix)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Securities to be immediately due and payable in full. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “Notice of Default”. If the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities request in writing the Trustee to give such notice on their behalf,

     6.3 Other Remedies.

          The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities 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 are cumulative.
     6.4 Waiver of Past Defaults.
          Subject to Sections 6.7 and 9.2, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may, by written notice to the Trustee, waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences, other than (A) a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest or additional interest on, any Security, or in the payment of the Redemption Price or Repurchase Price (or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Redemption or Repurchase Upon Change in Control), (B) a Default or Event of Default arising from a failure by the Company to convert any Securities into shares of Common Stock in accordance with this Indenture or (C) any Default or Event of Default in respect of any provision of this Indenture or the Securities which, under Section 9.2, cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected. When a Default or an Event of Default is waived, it is cured and ceases. This Section 6.4 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(B), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(B) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.
     6.5 Control by Majority.
          The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may 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 it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee

29


 

is offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. This Section 6.5 shall be in lieu of TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A), and TIA Section 316(a)(1)(A) is hereby expressly excluded from this Indenture, as permitted by the TIA.
     6.6 Limitation on Suits.
          Except as provided in Section 6.7, a Securityholder may not institute any proceeding under this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or a trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture unless:
          (i) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default;
          (ii) the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;
          (iii) such Holder or Holders offer and, if requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;
          (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within sixty (60) days after receipt of notice, the request and the offer of indemnity; and
          (v) during such sixty (60) day period, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.
          A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over another Securityholder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders).
     6.7 Rights of Holders to Receive Payment.
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of all amounts due with respect to the Securities, on or after the respective due dates as provided herein, 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 the Holder.
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to bring suit for the enforcement of the right to convert the Security in accordance with this Indenture shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

30


 

     6.8 Collection Suit by Trustee.
          If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(i) or (ii) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount due with respect to the Securities, including any unpaid and accrued interest.
     6.9 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
          The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee, any predecessor Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or its creditors or properties.
          The Trustee may collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official in any judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.
          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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
     6.10 Priorities.
          If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article VI, it shall pay out the money in the following order:
          First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.7;
          Second: to Securityholders for all amounts due and unpaid on the Securities, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Securities; and
          Third: to the Company.
          The Trustee, upon prior written notice to the Company may fix a record date and payment date for any payment by it to Securityholders pursuant to this Section 6.10.

          In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit other than the Trustee of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable

31


 

costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section 6.11 does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.7 or a suit by Holders of more than ten percent (10%) in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities.

     7.7 Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity.
          The Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation for its acceptance of this Indenture and the rendering by it of the services required hereunder as shall be agreed upon in writing by the Company and the Trustee. 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 or on behalf of it in addition to the compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of the Trustee’s attorneys, accountants, experts and such other professionals as the Trustee deems necessary, advisable or appropriate.
          The Company shall indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee (which for purposes of this Section 7.7 shall include its officers, directors, employees, agents and shareholders), and hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee) and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture (including its duties under Section 9.6), including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including this Section 7.7) and defending itself against or investigating any claim (whether asserted by the Company, 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 any such loss, damage, claim, liability or expense shall have been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it

35


 

may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its obligations hereunder. At the Trustee’s sole discretion, the Company shall defend any claim or threatened claim asserted against the Trustee, with counsel satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall cooperate in the defense at the Company’s expense. The Trustee may have 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 obligations of the Company under this Section 7.7 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.
          To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.7, the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal, Redemption Price of, or interest on, particular Securities. Such Lien shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the termination of this Indenture.
          When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) 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.
     7.8 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.
          The Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of Securities of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities 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;
          (b) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;
          (c) a custodian, receiver or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property for the purpose of rehabilitation, conversation or liquidation; 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 Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within one year after the date on which the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal

36


 

amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
          If a successor Trustee does not take office within thirty (30) days after the retiring trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Securityholders of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may petition any court of competent jurisdiction, in the case of the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
          If the Trustee, after written request by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six (6) months, fails to comply with Section 7.10, such Securityholder 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 Company shall mail a notice of its succession to each Holder of a Security. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee; provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid and subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.7. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee.
     7.9 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 that is eligible under Section 7.10, the successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.
     7.10 Eligibility; Disqualification.
          There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any state thereof (including the District of Columbia) that is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust power, that is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities and that has (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million dollars ($50,000,000) as set forth in its (or its related bank holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition.
          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).

37


 

     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 VIII.

          This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect if (a) either (i) all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable at their scheduled maturity or upon Redemption or Repurchase Upon Change in Control, and in any case the Company irrevocably deposits, prior to the applicable due date, with the Trustee or the Paying Agent (if the Paying Agent is not the Company or any of its Affiliates) cash sufficient to pay all amounts due and owing on all outstanding Securities (other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof) on the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, or Repurchase Date, as the case may be; (b) the Company pays to the Trustee all other sums payable hereunder by the Company and the Company has otherwise satisfied in full all of its obligations under this Indenture; (c) no Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities shall exist on the date of such deposit; (d) such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a Default or Event of Default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound; and (e) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with; provided, however, that Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.15, 2.16, 2.17, 3.5, 3.8, 4.1, 4.2, 4.5, 7.7 and 7.8 and Articles VIII and X and Sections 12.2, 12.3 and 12.4 shall survive any discharge of this Indenture until such time as the Securities have been paid in full and there are no Securities outstanding. Thereafter only the Company’s obligations in Section 7.7 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge
     8.2 Application of Trust Money.
          The Trustee shall hold in trust money deposited with it pursuant to Section 8.1. It shall apply the deposited money through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture to the payment of the principal of and any unpaid and accrued interest on the Securities.

38


 

a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York or cause to be mailed to each Holder, notice stating that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of such publication or mailing, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company. After payment to the Company, Securityholders entitled to the money must look to the Company for payment as general creditors, subject to applicable law, and all liability of the Trustee and the Paying Agent with respect to such money and payment shall, subject to applicable law, cease.

          If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 8.2 by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 8.1 and 8.2 until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Sections 8.1 and 8.2; provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of amounts due with respect to any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
ARTICLE IX.
AMENDMENTS
     9.1 Without Consent of Holders.
          The Company, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder:
          (a) to evidence the assumption of the Company’s obligations by a successor;
          (b) to evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee;
          (c) to make any changes or modifications to this Indenture necessary to cure and ambiguity or correct any error in this Indenture, so long as such action will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders;
          (d) to qualify or maintain the qualification of this Indenture under the TIA;
          (e) to secure the obligations of the Company in respect of the Securities;
          (f) to establish the forms or terms of the Securities;
          (g) to add to the covenants of the Company described in this Indenture for the benefit of Securityholders; or

39


 

          (h) to make other changes to this Indenture or forms or terms of the Securities, provided no such change individually or in the aggregate with all other such changes has or will have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Holders.
     9.2 With Consent of Holders.
          The Company, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities. Subject to Sections 6.4 and 6.7, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities may, by notice to the Trustee, waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any other Securityholder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without the consent of each Holder of each outstanding Security affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.4, may not:
          (a) extend the Maturity Date of the principal of, or the payment date of any installment of interest on, any Security;
          (b) reduce the principal amount of, or any premium, interest or additional interest on, any Security;
          (c) change the currency in which any Security is payable;
          (d) impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, any Security;
          (e) reduce any amount payable upon Redemption or repurchase of any Security;
          (f) change the Company’s obligation to maintain an office or agency in the places and for the purposes specified in this Indenture;
          (g) affect the Company’s obligation to redeem any Securities upon a Redemption Date in a manner adverse to the Holders;
          (h) affect the Company’s obligation to repurchase any Securities upon a Change in Control in a manner adverse to the Holders;
          (i) impair the right of Holders to convert Securities or reduce the number of shares of Common Stock, the amount of cash or the amount of any other property receivable upon conversion;
          (j) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities whose Holders must consent to a modification to or amendment of any provision of this Indenture;
          (k) reduce the quorum or voting requirements under this Indenture;

40


 

          (l) reduce the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities whose Holders must consent to a waiver of compliance with any provision of this Indenture or a waiver of any Default or Event of Default; or
          (m) modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to modification and waiver (including waiver of a Default or an Event of Default), except to increase the percentage required for modification or waiver or to provide for consent of each affected Holder.
          Promptly after an amendment, supplement or waiver under Section 9.1 or this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company shall mail, or cause to be mailed, to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment, supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice shall not in any way impair or affect the validity of such amendment, supplement or waiver.
          It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof.
     9.3 Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.
          Every amendment, waiver or supplement to this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.
     9.4 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 and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to its Security or portion of a Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective. An amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.
          After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective with respect to the Securities, it shall bind every Holder unless it makes a change that requires, pursuant to Section 9.2, the consent of each Holder affected. In that case, the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and, provided that notice of such amendment, supplement or waiver is reflected on a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.
     9.5 Notation on or Exchange of Securities.
          If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security as directed and prepared by the Company about the

41


 

changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Company so determines, the Company in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.
     9.6 Trustee Protected.
          The Trustee shall sign any amended or supplemental indenture authorized pursuant to this Article IX if the amendment or supplement does not affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. The Company may not sign an amended or supplemental indenture until the Board of Directors approves such amended or supplemental indenture. In executing any amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee shall be provided with an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’ Certificate, and, subject to Section 7.1, shall be fully protected in conclusively relying upon such documents.
ARTICLE X.
CONVERSION
     10.1 Conversion Privilege; Restrictive Legends.
          (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.8, the Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time on or after the earlier of (x) the Registration Date or (y) two hundred seventy (270) days following the Issue Date but prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date, in accordance with this Article X and as set forth below. A Security, or portion of a Security, which has been called for Redemption pursuant to Paragraph 6 of the Securities may be surrendered for conversion into shares of Common Stock; provided, however, that such Security or portion thereof may be surrendered for conversion pursuant to this paragraph only until the close of business on the Redemption Date.
          (b) The initial Conversion Price shall be $8.14 per share of Common Stock. The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 10.7 through 10.12.
          (c) Whenever any event described in Section 10.1 shall occur which shall cause the Securities to become convertible into shares of Common Stock, the Company shall promptly deliver, in accordance with Section 12.2, written notice of the convertibility of the Securities to the Trustee and each Holder. Such written notice and public announcement shall include a description of such event, a description of the periods during which the Securities shall be convertible and the procedures by which a Holder may convert its Securities. At the Company’s request, upon reasonable prior written notice agreed to by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, deliver to each Holder the written notice of the convertibility of the Securities required by this Section 10.1(c); provided, that the form and content of such notice shall be prepared by the Company.
          (d) A Holder may convert a portion of the principal of such Security if the portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of a portion of it.

42


 

          (e) Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security shall bear the Private Placement Legend until such shares are sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement or until after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date and the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of such shares or the Security (or any predecessor security) from which such shares were converted (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, as set forth in an Opinion of Counsel, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof).
     10.2 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
     10.3 Conversion Procedure.
          To convert a Security, a Holder must satisfy the requirements of paragraph 9 of the Securities. As soon as practicable following the date (the “Conversion Date”) on which the Holder satisfies all those requirements, the Company shall deliver to the Holder through the Conversion Agent a certificate for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, as provided in Paragraph 9 of the Securities, and a check for the amount of cash payable in lieu of any fractional share. On and after the Conversion Date, the person in whose name such certificate is to be registered shall be treated as a shareholder of record of the Company, and all rights of the Holder of the Security to be converted shall terminate, other than the right to receive the shares of Common Stock and cash deliverable as provided in the preceding sentence. A Holder of Securities is not entitled to any rights of a holder of Common Stock until such Holder has converted its Securities into shares of Common Stock, or is deemed to be a shareholder of record of the Company, as provided in this paragraph, and then only to the extent such Securities are deemed to have been so converted or such Holder is so deemed to be a shareholder of record.
          Except as provided in the Securities or in this Article X or in Article III, no payment or adjustment will be made for accrued interest on, or additional interest with respect to, a converted Security or for dividends on any Common Stock issued on or prior to conversion. If any Holder surrenders a Security for conversion after the close of business on the record date for the payment of an installment of interest and prior to the related interest payment date, then, notwithstanding such conversion, the interest payable with respect to such Security on such interest payment date shall be paid on such interest payment date to the Holder of record of such Security at the close of business on such record date; provided, however, that such Security, when surrendered for conversion, must be accompanied by payment to the Conversion Agent on behalf of the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such interest payment date on the portion so converted; provided further, however, that such payment to the Conversion Agent described in the immediately preceding proviso in respect of a Security surrendered for conversion shall not be required if such Security is called for Redemption pursuant to Section 3.4 and paragraphs 6 of the Securities; provided further, that, if the Company shall have, prior to the Conversion Date with respect to a Security, defaulted in a payment of interest on such Security, then in no event shall the Holder of such Security who surrenders such Security for conversion be required to pay such defaulted interest or the interest that shall have accrued on such defaulted

43


 

interest pursuant to Section 2.12 (it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.3 shall affect the Company’s obligations under Section 2.12).
          If a Holder converts more than one Security at the same time, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be based on the total principal amount of all Securities converted. Upon surrender of a Security that is converted in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder a new Security equal in principal amount to the unconverted portion of the Security surrendered.
          If the last day on which a Security may be converted is a Legal Holiday in a place where a Conversion Agent is located, the Security may be surrendered to that Conversion Agent on the next succeeding day that is not a Legal Holiday.
     10.4 Fractional Shares.
          The Company will not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and instead will deliver a check in an amount equal to the value of such fraction computed on the basis of the Closing Sale Price on the Trading Day immediately before the Conversion Date.
     10.5 Taxes on Conversion.
          If a Holder converts its Security, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or duty due on the issue, if any, of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion. However, such Holder shall pay any such tax or duty which is due because such shares are issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. The Conversion Agent may refuse to deliver a certificate representing the shares of Common Stock to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name until the Conversion Agent receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax or duty which will be due because such shares are to be issued in a name other than such Holder’s name. Nothing herein shall preclude any tax withholding required by law or regulation.
     10.6 Company to Provide Stock.
          The Company shall at all times reserve out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock or Common Stock held in its treasury enough shares of Common Stock to permit the conversion of all of the Securities into shares of Common Stock.
          All shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of the Securities shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free of preemptive or similar rights and free of any lien or adverse claim.
          The Company shall comply with all securities laws regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities and shall list such shares on each national securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Common Stock is listed.

44


 

     10.7 Adjustment of Conversion Price.
     The Conversion Price shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
          (a) In case the Company shall (1) pay a dividend in shares of Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, (2) make a distribution in shares of Common Stock to all holders of Common Stock, (3) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock or (4) combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such action shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock which such Holder would have owned immediately following such action had such Securities been converted immediately prior thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 10.7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.
          (b) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common Stock, entitling them, for a period expiring not more than sixty (60) days immediately following the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock), at a price per share (or having a conversion, exchange or exercise price per share) that is less than the current market price (as determined pursuant to Section 10.7(e)) of Common Stock on the record date for the determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be increased by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate exercise, conversion, exchange or other price at which the Underlying Shares (as defined below) may be subscribed for or purchased pursuant to such rights or warrants would purchase at such current market price and (B) the denominator shall be the sum of (i) number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on such record date and (ii) the aggregate number of shares (the “Underlying Shares”) of Common Stock underlying all such issued rights or warrants (whether by exercise, conversion, exchange or otherwise). Such increase shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date. In no event shall the Conversion Price be increased pursuant to this Section 10.7(b).
          (c) In case the Company shall dividend or distribute to all holders of Common Stock shares of Capital Stock of the Company (other than Common Stock), evidences of Indebtedness or other assets, or shall dividend or distribute to all holders of Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase securities (other than those referred to in Section 10.7(b)), if these distributions, aggregated on a rolling twelve (12) month basis, have a per share value exceeding fifteen percent (15%) of the market price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration of the distribution, then in each such case the Conversion

45


 

Price shall be decreased by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to such dividend or distribution by a fraction of which (A) the numerator shall be the current market price of Common Stock (as determined pursuant to Section 10.7(e)) on such record date and (B) the denominator shall be an amount equal to (i) such current market price plus (ii) the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), on such record date, of the portion of the shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, rights and warrants to be dividended or distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock, such increase to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following such record date; provided, however, that if such denominator is equal to or less than one, then, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment to the Conversion Price, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder shall have the right to receive upon conversion of its Securities, in addition to the shares of Common Stock issuable (and cash, if any, payable) upon such conversion, an amount of shares of Capital Stock, evidences of Indebtedness, assets, rights and/or warrants that such Holder would have received had such Holder converted all of its Securities on such record date.
          (d) In addition to the foregoing adjustments in Subsections (a), (b) and (c) above, the Company, from time to time and to the extent permitted by law, may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount for a period of at least twenty (20) days or such longer period as may be required by law, if the Board of Directors has made a determination, which determination shall be conclusive, that such decrease would be in the best interests of the Company. Such Conversion Price decrease shall be irrevocable during such period. The Company shall give notice to the Trustee and cause notice of such decrease to be mailed to each Holder of Securities at such Holder’s address as the same appears on the registry books of the Registrar, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which such decrease commences.
          (e) For the purpose of any computation under Subsections (a), (b) or (c) above of this Section 10.7, the current market price per share of Common Stock on the date fixed for determination of the shareholders entitled to receive the issuance or distribution requiring such computation (the “Determination Date”) shall be deemed to be the average of the Closing Sale Prices for the ten (10) consecutive Trading Days immediately preceding the Determination Date; provided, however, that (i) if the “ex” date for any event (other than the event requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to subsection (a), (b), or (c), above occurs on or after the tenth (10th) Trading Day prior to the Determination Date, and prior to the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day prior to the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the reciprocal of the fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, (ii) if the “ex” date for any event (other than the event requiring such computation) that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Subsection (a), (b), or (c), above occurs on or after the “ex” date for the issuance or distribution requiring such computation and on or prior to the Determination Date, the Closing Sale Price for each

46


 

Trading Day on and after the “ex” date for such other event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Closing Sale Price by the same fraction by which the Conversion Price is so required to be adjusted as a result of such other event, and
          (f) if the “ex” date for the event requiring such computation is on or prior to the Determination Date, after taking into account any adjustment required pursuant to this proviso, the Closing Sale Price for each Trading Day on and after such “ex” date shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount of any cash and the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in a manner consistent with any determination of such value for the purposes of this Section 10.7, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Resolution of the Board of Directors) of the evidences of Indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or other securities or assets or cash being distributed (in the event requiring such computation) applicable to one share of Common Stock as of the close of business on the day before such “ex” date.
          For purposes of this subsection, the term “ex” date, (i) when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades the regular way on the relevant exchange or in the relevant market from which the Closing Sale Price was obtained without the right to receive such issuance or distribution, (ii) when used with respect to any subdivision or combination of shares of Common Stock, means the first date on which the Common Stock trades the regular way on such exchange or in such market after the time at which such subdivision or combination becomes effective, and (iii) when used with respect to any tender offer or exchange offer means the first date on which the Common Stock trades the regular way on such exchange or in such market after the expiration time of such tender offer or exchange offer (as it may be amended or extended).
     10.8 No Adjustment.
          No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if Holders may participate in a transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment under Section 10.7, so long as the distributed assets or securities the Holders would receive upon conversion of the Securities, if convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable, are convertible, exchangeable, or exercisable, as applicable, without any loss of rights or privileges for a period of at least sixty (60) days following the Conversion Date.
          No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required:
          (a) upon the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities exchangeable into Common Stock or carrying the right to purchase any of the foregoing, except as stated above;
          (b) for a change in the par value or no par value of the Common Stock; or
          (c) for accrued and unpaid interest.

47


 

          No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless the adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent (1%) of the Conversion Price as last adjusted (or, if never adjusted, the initial Conversion Price); provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this Section 10.8 are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article X shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-millionth of a share, as the case may be.
     10.9 Adjustments For Tax Purposes.
          The Company may make such increases in the Conversion Price, in addition to those required by Section 10.7 hereof, as it determines to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution or rights to purchase stock or securities or distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for stock made by the Company or to its shareholders will not be taxable to the recipients thereof.
     10.10 Notice of Adjustment.
          Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, the Company shall promptly mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books a notice of the adjustment and file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the facts requiring the adjustment and the manner of computing it. The certificate shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. At the Company’s request, upon reasonable prior written notice agreed to by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books such notice of adjustment required by this Section 10.10; provided, that the form and content of such notice shall be prepared by the Company.
     10.11 Notice of Certain Transactions.
          In the event that:
     (1) the Company takes any action, or becomes aware of any event, which would require an adjustment in the Conversion Price,
     (2) the Company takes any action that would require a supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 10.12, or
     (3) there is a dissolution or liquidation of the Company,
the Company shall mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books and the Trustee a written notice stating the proposed record, effective or expiration date, as the case may be, of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 10.11. The Company shall mail such notice at least twenty (20) days before such date; however, failure to mail such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the validity of any transaction referred to in clause (1), (2) or (3) of this Section 10.11. At the Company’s request, upon reasonable prior written notice agreed to by the Trustee, the Trustee shall, in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense, mail to Holders at the addresses appearing on the Registrar’s books such written notice

48


 

required by this Section 10.11; provided, that the form and content of such notice shall be prepared by the Company.
     10.12 Effect of Reclassifications, Consolidations, Mergers, Binding Share Exchanges or Sales on Conversion Privilege.
          If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification or change in the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Securities (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation, merger or binding share exchange to which the Company is a party other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing Person and which does not result in any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name, or par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in, the Common Stock or (iii) any sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company, then the Company or such successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall, as a condition precedent to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, execute and deliver to the Trustee, together with the documents required by Section 12.4 hereof, a supplemental indenture in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee providing that, at and after the effective time of such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the right to convert such Security into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion of such Security immediately prior to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, assuming that such Holder would not have exercised any rights of election that such Holder would have had as a holder of Common Stock to select a particular type of consideration. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments of the Conversion Price which shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments of the Conversion Price provided for in this Article X. If, in the case of any such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, the stock or other securities and property (including cash) receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and property of a Person other than the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, in such consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors in good faith shall reasonably determine necessary by reason of the foregoing (which determination shall be described in a Board Resolution). The provision of this Section 10.12 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, binding share exchanges, sales, transfers, leases, conveyances or dispositions.
          In the event a supplemental indenture shall have been executed pursuant to this Section 10.12, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities

49


 

after any such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or disposition and any adjustment to be made with respect thereto.
     10.13 Trustee’s Disclaimer.
          The Trustee has no duty to make any calculations under this Article X, to determine when an adjustment under this Article X should be made, how it should be made or what such adjustment should be, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such adjustment, and shall be protected in conclusively relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.10 hereof. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for the failure by the Company to comply with any provisions of this Article X.
          The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to Section 10.12, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness thereof, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto which the Company is obligated to file with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.12 hereof.

1. INTEREST.
          Terremark Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Security at 0.50% per annum for the first 24 months that the Note is outstanding, and therafter at a rate of 1.50% per annum until maturity. The Company will pay interest upon the maturity of the Securities. All interest payable hereunder shall be payable in kind by adding such amount to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities. Interest on the Securities will accrue on the principal amount from, and including, January 5, 2007, to, but excluding, the Maturity Date. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months, and accrued interest shall compound and be added to outstanding principal on each July 1 and January 1 (of if such date is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day, such dates, the “Interest Payment Date”), as well as on June 30, 2009.
2. MATURITY.
          The Securities will mature on June 30, 2009.
3. METHOD OF PAYMENT.
          Except as provided in the Indenture (as defined below), the Company will pay interest on the Securities to the persons who are Holders of record of Securities at the close of business on June 30, 2009. Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying Agent to collect the principal amount, Redemption Price, Repurchase Price of the Securities, plus, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, payable as herein provided upon Redemption or Repurchase Upon Change in Control, as the case may be. The Company will pay, in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts, all amounts due in cash with respect to the Securities, which amounts shall be paid (A) in the case this Security is in global form, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Holder hereof and (B) in the case this Security is held in other than global form, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Holder hereof or,

 


 

if no such account is specified, by mailing a check to such Holder’s address shown in the Note Register.
4. PAYING AGENT, REGISTRAR, CONVERSION AGENT.
          Initially, The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent, Registrar and Conversion Agent. The Company may change any Paying Agent, Registrar or Conversion Agent without notice.
5. INDENTURE.
          The Company issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of January 5, 2007 (the “Indenture”) between the Company and the Trustee. The terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as amended and in effect from time to time (the “TIA”). The Securities are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement of such terms. The Securities are general unsecured senior subordinated obligations of the Company limited to $4,000,000 aggregate principal amount, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture (except for Securities issued in substitution for destroyed, mutilated, lost or stolen Securities). Terms used herein without definition and which are defined in the Indenture have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
6. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
          The Company shall have the right, at the Company’s option, on any Interest Payment Date that is six months following the date of this Indenture, upon no less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Trustee and the Initial Purchaser, to redeem (the “Redemption”) all of the Securities at a redemption price equal to (i) the amount set forth below (expressed as percentages of the principal amount outstanding on the date of redemption), plus (ii) the amount (if any) by which the fair market value of on such date of the Common Stock into which the Security is then convertible exceeds the principal amount of the Security on such date, plus (iii) accrued, but unpaid Interest (the “Redemption Payment” or “Redemption Price”), if redeemed during the following monthly periods following the closing date:

8. REPURCHASE AT OPTION OF HOLDER UPON A CHANGE IN CONTROL.
          Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, in the event of a Change in Control, each Holder of the Securities shall have the right, at the Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase such Holder’s Securities including any portion thereof which is $1,000 in principal amount or any integral multiple thereof on a date selected by the Company (the “Repurchase Date”), which date is no later than forty five (45) days after the date of the Change in Control, at a price payable in cash equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the principal amount of such Security, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, and including, the Repurchase Date.
          Within twenty five (25) days after the occurrence of the Change in Control, the Company must mail, or cause to be mailed, notice of the occurrence of such Change in Control to each Holder. Such notice shall include, among other things, a description of the procedure which a Holder must follow to exercise the Repurchase Right. To exercise the Repurchase Right, a Holder of Securities must, in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (i) deliver, no later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Repurchase Date, a Purchase Notice to the Company (if it is acting as its own Paying Agent) or to the Paying Agent; and (ii) deliver, at any time after the delivery of such Purchase Notice, the Securities with respect to which the Holder is exercising its Repurchase Right (together with all necessary endorsements).
          A “Change In Control” shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as:
          (i) any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used for purposes of Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), other than a Permitted Holder, is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of fifty percent (50%) or more of the total voting power of all classes of the Company’s Capital Stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors calculated on a fully-diluted basis; or
          (ii) the Company consolidates with, or merges with or into, another Person or any Person consolidates with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event other than pursuant to a transaction where the Persons that “beneficially owned,” directly or indirectly, the shares of the Company’s Voting Stock immediately prior to such transaction, “beneficially own,” directly or indirectly, immediately after such transaction, shares of the continuing, surviving or acquiring corporation’s Voting Stock representing at least a majority of the total voting power of all outstanding classes of the Voting Stock of the continuing, surviving or acquiring corporation; or
          (iii) the sale, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Exchange Act), including any group acting for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of securities within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act;

A-3


 

provided, however, that a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if at least eighty percent (80%) of the consideration (other than cash payments for fractional shares or pursuant to statutory appraisal rights) in the merger or consolidation otherwise constituting the Change in Control consists of common stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests and any associated rights traded on a U.S. national securities exchange or quoted on The Nasdaq National Market (or which will be so traded or quoted when issued or exchanged in connection with such Change in Control), and, as a result of such transaction or transactions, the Securities become convertible solely into such common stock, depositary receipts or other certificates representing common equity interests and associated rights.
9. CONVERSION.
          The Securities shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock at any time on or after the earlier of (x) the Registration Date or (y) 270 days following the Issue Date but prior to the close of business on the Maturity Date, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and as set forth below.
          The initial Conversion Price is $8.14 per share, subject to adjustment in the event of certain circumstances as specified in the Indenture. The Company will deliver a check in lieu of any fractional share. On conversion, no payment or adjustment for any unpaid and accrued interest on, or additional interest with respect to, the Securities will be made, except as specified in the Indenture.
          To convert a Security, a Holder must (1) complete and sign the Conversion Notice attached to this Note, with appropriate signature guarantee, on the back of the Security, (2) surrender the Security to a Conversion Agent, (3) furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Registrar or Conversion Agent and (4) pay any tax or duty if required pursuant to the Indenture. A Holder may convert a portion of a Security if the portion is $1,000 principal amount or an integral multiple of $1,000 principal amount.
          Any shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of a Security shall bear the Private Placement Legend until such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement or after the second anniversary of the later of the Issue Date and the last date on which the Company or any Affiliate was the owner of such shares or the Security (or any predecessor security) from which such shares were converted (or such shorter period of time as permitted by Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act or any successor provision thereunder) (or such longer period of time as may be required under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws, as set forth in an Opinion of Counsel, unless otherwise agreed by the Company and the Holder thereof).
10. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
11. SUBORDINATION.
          All obligations under the Notes will be subordinate to the extent set forth in the Subordination Agreement. A Holder by its acceptance of a Security agrees to be bound by the terms and provisions of Article XI of the Indenture and the terms and provisions of the

A-4


 

Subordination Agreement and authorizes and expressly directs the Trustee, on its behalf, to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) of the Company (including, but not limited to, the execution of the Subordination Agreement) and appoints the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
12. DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE.
          The Securities are in registered form, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples of $1,000 principal amount. The transfer of Securities may be registered and Securities may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents. No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or similar governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with certain transfers or exchanges. The Company, the Trustee and the Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Security (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Securities selected for Redemption under Section 3.4 of the Indenture and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing or (ii) that has been selected for Redemption or for which a Purchase Notice has been delivered, and not withdrawn, in accordance with the Indenture, except the unredeemed or unrepurchased portion of Securities being redeemed or repurchased in part.
13. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.
          The registered Holder of a Security may be treated as the owner of such Security for all purposes.
14. MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION.
          The Company shall not consolidate with, or merge with or into, or sell, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the property or assets of the Company to, another person, whether in a single transaction or series of related transactions, unless (i) such other person is a corporation organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia; (ii) such person assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Company under the Securities and the Indenture; and (iii) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall exist.

In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Company, with the consent of the Trustee, may amend or supplement the Indenture or the Securities without notice to or the consent of any Securityholder: (i) to evidence

the assumption of the Company’s obligations by a successor; (ii) to evidence the acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee; (iii) to make any changes or modifications to the Indenture necessary to cure and ambiguity or correct any error in the Indenture, so long as such action will not adversely affect the interests of the Holders; (iv) to qualify or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the TIA; (v) to secure the obligations of the Company in respect of the Securities; (vi) to establish the forms or terms of the Securities; (vii) to add to the covenants of the Company described in the Indenture for the benefit of Securityholders; or (viii) to make other changes to the Indenture or forms or terms of the Securities, provided no such change individually or in the aggregate with all other such changes has or will have a material adverse effect on the interests of the Holders. In accordance with the terms of the Indenture, certain amendments, supplements and waivers cannot be made without the consent of each Holder of each outstanding Security affected.
16. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.
          Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, an “Event of Default” occurs if: (i) the Company fails to pay the principal of any Security when the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity, upon Redemption, on a Repurchase Date with respect to a Repurchase Upon Change in Control or otherwise; (ii) the Company fails to pay Interest on any Security when due, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after the date when due; (iii) the Company fails to timely provide a Change in Control Notice, as required by the provisions of this Indenture; (iv) the Company defaults in its obligation to convert the Securities into shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination of cash and Common Stock upon exercise of a Holder’s conversion right and such default continues for ten (10) days; (v) the Company defaults in its obligation to repurchase any Security on a Repurchase Date with respect to a Repurchase Upon Change in Control or otherwise; (vi) the Company defaults in its obligation to redeem any Security after exercise of its option to redeem; (vii) the Company fails to perform or observe any of the covenants in Article IV of the Indenture for sixty (60) days after written notice to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in the aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding; (viii) there occurs an event of default with respect to the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ Indebtedness having a principal amount then outstanding, individually or in the aggregate, of at least fifteen million ($15,000,000), whether such Indebtedness now exists or is hereafter incurred, which default or defaults: (a) shall have resulted in such Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable; or (b) shall constitute the failure to pay such Indebtedness at the final stated maturity thereof (after expiration of any applicable grace period); (ix) any final judgment or judgments for the payment of money in excess of fifteen million ($15,000,000) shall be rendered against the Company and shall not be discharged for any period of sixty (60) consecutive days during which time a stay of enforcement shall not be in effect or during which time an appeal has not been filed; or (x) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization involving the Company.
          If an Event of Default (excluding an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) of the Indenture (but including an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(ix) of the Indenture)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Securities to be immediately due and payable in full.

A-6


 

Upon such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) of the Indenture occurs, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written notice to the Trustee may rescind or annul an acceleration and its consequences if (A) the rescission would not conflict with any order or decree, (B) all existing Events of Default, except the nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration, have been cured or waived and (C) all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.7 if the Indenture have been paid.
          Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided in the Indenture. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may 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 it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
          If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities a notice of the Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after such Event of Default becomes known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment on any Security (including the failure to make a mandatory repurchase pursuant hereto), 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 of the Securities.
17. REGISTRATION RIGHTS.
          The Holders are entitled to registration rights as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. The Holders shall be entitled to receive additional interest in certain circumstances, all as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
18. TRUSTEE DEALINGS WITH THE COMPANY.
          The Trustee under the Indenture, or any banking institution serving as successor Trustee thereunder, in its individual or any other capacity, may make loans to, accept deposits from, and perform services for, the Company or its Affiliates, and may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates, as if it were not Trustee.
19. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
          No past, present or future director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Security, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

     (B) no Senior Covenant Default existing on the date any notice is given pursuant to clause (b) of this subsection 2.2 shall, unless the same shall have ceased to exist for a period of at least 60 consecutive days, be used as a basis for any subsequent such notice (for purposes of this paragraph, breaches of the same financial covenant for consecutive periods shall constitute separate and distinct Senior Covenant Defaults); and
     (C) Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors shall not deliver more than three (3) Senior Default Notices, in the aggregate, prior to the termination of this Agreement.

In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Property (a “Proceeding”): (i) all Senior Indebtedness first shall be Paid in Full before any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other Property) of or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made in such Proceeding (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities); (ii) any payment which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in such Proceeding in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities), shall be paid or delivered directly to Senior Agent (to be held and/or applied by Senior Agent in accordance with the terms of the Senior Purchase Agreement or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents) until all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries, and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each also irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs Senior Agent to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution; (iii) Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees to execute and deliver to Senior Agent or its representative all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (ii) as Senior Agent may reasonably request; and (iv) Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Senior Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim (but not vote such claims) in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness in connection with any such Proceeding upon the failure of such Person to do so 15 days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim; provided, that Senior Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, and/or file any such proof of claim. The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Agent, Senior Creditors, Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such proceeding. This Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of the Senior Indebtedness or any representative of such holder and the Senior Indebtedness, or portion thereof, intended to have been satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.

     2.4 Incorrect Payments. If any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other Property) not permitted to be accepted by Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is received by Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such payment shall not be commingled with any asset of such Person, shall be held in trust by such Person for the benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors and shall be paid over to Senior Agent, or its designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Senior Purchase Agreement or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, as the case may be) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full.
     2.5 Sale, Transfer. The Subordinated Creditor shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness unless following such sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, there shall either be (i) no more than two (2) holders of Subordinated Indebtedness (provided, that each holder of Subordinated Indebtedness and its respective affiliates and Related Funds shall be counted as a single holder for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing limitation), or (ii) one Person acting as agent for all holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Senior Agent such that any Senior Default Notices and other notices and communications to be delivered to the Subordinated Creditor hereunder and any consents required by the Subordinated Creditor shall be made to or obtained from such agent and shall be binding on the Subordinated Creditor as if directly delivered to or obtained from such Subordinated Creditor. In the event of a permitted sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Senior Agent a joinder to this Agreement, or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, in either case providing for the continued subordination and forbearance of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 10 below.
     2.6 Legends. Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, each of the Subordinated Notes and all other Subordinated Indebtedness Documents evidencing or otherwise containing the grant of any Lien on any Shared Collateral at all times shall contain in a conspicuous manner the following legend:
“This Note [or other Subordinated Indebtedness Document] and the indebtedness evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) dated as of January 5, 2007 among Terremark Worldwide, Inc. as the Issuer, the Subsidiary Guarantors named therein, FMP Agency Services, LLC, as the Senior Agent to the Senior Creditors named therein, and Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as the Subordinated Creditor named therein and each holder of this Note, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the provisions of the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement.”

     (ii) acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness (provided, that if, following any such acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness, such acceleration in respect of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded, then all Enforcement Actions taken by Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor shall likewise be rescinded if (A) such Enforcement Actions are based on this clause (ii) and (B) neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall have any right under any other clause of this subsection 2.7(b) to take any Enforcement Actions).
     (iii) the occurrence of a Proceeding (provided, that if such Proceeding is dismissed, the corresponding prohibition against Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor taking any Enforcement Action shall automatically be reinstated as of the date of dismissal as if such Proceeding had not been initiated, unless Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor shall have the right to take any Enforcement Action under another clause of this subsection 2.7(b); provided, further, that such reinstatement shall not affect the running of the 180 day period under clause (a) above to the extent the Subordinated Default giving rise thereto is not based on an acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness or the initiation of such Proceeding);
Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Senior Agent, take Enforcement Actions; provided, that no such notice shall be required in the case of any Enforcement Action permitted to be taken under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subsection 2.7(b).

     4.4 Conflicting Agreements; Litigation. No provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on such Person or affecting the Property of such Person conflicts with, or requires any consent which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of this Agreement.

-12-


 

sult in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon the Property of such Person pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement. No pending or, to the best of such Person’s knowledge, threatened, litigation, arbitration or other proceedings if adversely determined would in any way prevent the performance of the terms of this Agreement.

Any failure or delay on the part of Senior Agent or Senior Creditors in exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect Senior Agent’s or Senior Creditors’ right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power, and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of Senior Agent’s or Senior Creditors’ rights hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or performance among the parties hereto.

For purposes of this Section 13, to the extent that any provisions of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents provide rights, remedies and benefits to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors that exceed the rights, remedies and benefits provided to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors under this Agreement, such provisions of the applicable Subordinated Indebtedness Documents shall be deemed to supplement (and not to conflict with) the provisions hereof.

Lien securing any other obligation of the Company , any other Obligor or any other Person. The Subordinated Agent for itself and on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor expressly agrees that any Lien purported to be granted on any Shared Collateral as security for the Senior Indebtedness shall be and remain senior in all respects and prior to all Liens on the Shared Collateral securing any Subordinated Indebtedness for all purposes regardless of whether the Lien purported to be granted is found to be improperly granted, improperly perfected, preferential, a fraudulent conveyance or legally or otherwise deficient in any manner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Subordinated Indebtedness Document, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor agree that the Subordinated Indebtedness shall not be secured by any Lien or other security interest in any of the Excluded Collateral and that they shall not claim on behalf of themselves or any other person that the any Subordinated Indebtedness is entitled to the benefit of any Lien or other security interest in respect of any Excluded Collateral. Subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the respective definitions of “Senior Indebtedness” and “Subordinated Indebtedness” set forth in Section 1 hereof, the relative priorities of the respective Liens described in this subsection 21.2 shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or refinancing of the Senior Indebtedness or Subordinated Indebtedness, respectively, or by any action or inaction which Senior Agent and any Senior Creditor, on the one hand, or Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor, on the other hand, may take or fail to take, in each case in respect of the Shared Collateral.
     21.3 Release of Shared Collateral. Subordinated Agent shall, promptly upon the written notice of Senior Agent, release or otherwise terminate Subordinated Agent’s Lien on the Shared Collateral (or applicable portion thereof) contemporaneously with the release by the Senior Agent of its Lien thereon if the Shared Collateral (or a portion thereof) is sold or otherwise disposed of by the Senior Agent (or any representative thereof), whether by strict foreclosure or otherwise, or such Shared Collateral is sold or otherwise disposed of by the record owner thereof as permitted by the Basic Documents and the Subordinated Purchase Agreement or otherwise with the consent of the Required Holders (or any representative thereof); provided, that, (i) the subordinate Lien of Subordinated Agent securing the Subordinated Indebtedness shall attach to the proceeds of such sale or other disposition to the extent not applied to the reduction of the Senior Indebtedness, and (ii) such subordinate Lien on such proceeds shall in all respects remain subject to all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. In connection with any release of Lien pursuant to the terms hereof, Subordinated Agent (on behalf of its itself and the Subordinated Creditor) will immediately deliver such release documents as the Senior Agent (or any representative thereof) may require in connection therewith. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints Senior Agent as its lawful attorney and agent to execute any and all such release documents (including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code termination statements) and to record and/or file such release documents as Senior Agent deems necessary if such release documents are not received promptly after written request therefor. Each of Senior Creditors, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor agrees that Senior Agent has not assumed any obligations to act as agent for such Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor with respect to the Shared Collateral.
     21.4 Perfection. Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided in Section 23, Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, on the one hand, and Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor, on the other hand, shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the

-19-


 

perfection of their respective Liens on each item constituting Shared Collateral. The provisions of this Section 21 are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the holders of Subordinated Indebtedness and shall not impose on any such Person any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Shared Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any applicable order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law.
     21.5 Management of Collateral.
     (a) Until the Senior Indebtedness has been Paid in Full, the Senior Agents and the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or any representative thereof) shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the Senior Indebtedness, the Basic Documents and Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents with respect to all Shared Collateral and to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder and with respect thereto, in each case in the exercise of their business judgment and sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, the sole and exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Shared Collateral, to hold, prepare for sale, process, sell, lease, foreclose upon, collect, exercise rights or remedies with respect to, dispose of, or liquidate any Shared Collateral, to incur expenses in connection with any of the foregoing and to exercise all rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC, and neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall take or seek to take any such action. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each waives any and all rights of such Person to direct the method or challenge the appropriateness of any action by any holder of Senior Indebtedness (or any representative thereof) in connection with, and any right to object to, a strict foreclosure with respect to any Shared Collateral, waives any and all rights of redemption and hereby consents to each holder of Senior Indebtedness (or any representative thereof) dealing in all respects with the Shared Collateral as if there were no Liens on the Shared Collateral securing Subordinated Indebtedness.
     (b) The provisions of subsection 21.5(a) are not intended and shall not be deemed or construed to limit or impair (i) the right of Subordinated Agent to join (but not control) any foreclosure or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to any Shared Collateral initiated by Senior Agent for the sole purpose of preserving and protecting Subordinated Agent’s Lien on the Shared Collateral, so long as (x) at the time of such joinder, the Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor still hold a valid and perfected lien in such Shared Collateral and (y) such joinder does not delay or interfere in any material respect with the exercise by Senior Agent of its rights under this Agreement, the Basic Documents and applicable law, in each case with respect to the Shared Collateral; and (ii) if and to the extent the Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor still hold a valid and perfected lien in such Shared Collateral, the right of Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor to receive any proceeds of Shared Collateral remaining after Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness.
     21.6 Lien Enforcement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, subsection 2.7 hereof, but subject in any event to subsection 21.1 hereof:

-20-


 

     (a) Until Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, except as otherwise expressly permitted in subsections 21.6(b) and (c) below, other than Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments, in each case to the extent permitted at the time of payment thereof to be paid to and received and retained by Subordinated Creditor pursuant to the other terms and provisions of this Agreement, neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall ask, demand or sue for any right or remedy in respect of all or any part of the Shared Collateral and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor agree not to take or receive from any Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other Property or by set-off or in any other manner, whether pursuant to any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding or otherwise, all or any part of the Shared Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, until Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, (i) neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall exercise or otherwise assert any right or remedy in respect of all or any part of the Shared Collateral or any Liens thereon; (ii) the sole right of Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor with respect to the Shared Collateral shall be to hold a Lien thereon to the extent granted pursuant to the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents (until such time as such Lien is released or required to be released pursuant to Section 21.3 hereof) and to receive proceeds thereof remaining after such Payment in Full; and (iii) without the prior written consent of Senior Agent, neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall exercise any right such Person may have under the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents or under the UCC or other applicable law to deliver any notices to account debtors informing them of such Person’s interest in any accounts of any Obligor or direct such account debtors to make payments in any particular manner of amounts due in respect of any such account.
     (b) Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees that, until Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, such Person will not commence, or join with any creditor other than Senior Agent in commencing, any enforcement, collection, execution, levy or foreclosure proceeding with respect to any Lien held by it in, or otherwise with respect to, all or any part of the Shared Collateral, including, without limitation, petitioning, filing or joining in any involuntary Proceeding pursuant to Section 303 of the Bankruptcy Code.
     (c) The provisions of this subsection 21.6 are intended to limit the enforcement of the rights and remedies of Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor with respect to the Shared Collateral or any Lien thereon for so long and to the extent set forth in subsection 21.6(a) and (b) hereof. Nothing in this subsection 21.6 is intended or shall be deemed or construed to prohibit Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor from receiving and retaining at any time any Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments to the extent such receipt and retention is permitted hereunder at such time, or to the extent such action is permitted hereunder at such time, from making any demand for payment or any declaration of acceleration with respect to the Subordinated Notes or commencing any judicial or other action to collect (without enforcement of any of such Person’s rights and remedies with respect to all or any part of the Shared Collateral) the Subordinated Indebtedness under the Subordinated Notes and the other Subordinated Indebtedness Documents.

-21-


 

     21.7 Proceedings. In the event of any Proceeding involving any Obligor, neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall assert any claim, motion, objection or argument in respect of all or any part of the Shared Collateral in connection with such Proceeding that could otherwise be asserted or raised in connection with such Proceeding by any such Person as a secured creditor of such Obligor, except to the extent such claim, motion, objection or argument could be asserted by an unsecured creditor of such Obligor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees that it will:
     (a) not object to or oppose (or support any other Person in objecting to or opposing) any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Shared Collateral free and clear of Liens or other claims of Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code or any other law applicable to such Proceeding if Senior Agent and Senior Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition and the net proceeds thereof are used to (i) repay Senior Notes, (ii) pay reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such sale or disposition or (iii) pay expenses related to the administration of such Proceeding which are entitled to be paid out of the proceeds of such Shared Collateral;
     (b) (i) at the request of Senior Agent, challenge or otherwise object to any use of cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing that is challenged or otherwise objected to by Senior Agent and Senior Creditors; and (ii) not challenge or otherwise object to (or support any other Person in challenging or otherwise objecting to) any use of cash collateral or debtor-in-possession financing consented to or provided by any Senior Creditor if and to the extent that (A) the interest rate, fees, advance rates, lending sublimits and limits and other terms are determined by the bankruptcy court with jurisdiction over the Proceeding to be commercially reasonable under the circumstances, (B) the principal amount (including unfunded commitments) of such debtor-in-possession financing, together with the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness outstanding immediately after giving effect to any payment thereof with proceeds of any such debtor-in-possession financing, does not exceed the greater of (x) one hundred twenty percent (120%) of the aggregate principal amount of the pre-petition Senior Indebtedness (including unfunded commitments) outstanding immediately prior to the commencement of the applicable Proceeding and (y) the aggregate maximum permitted principal amount of the pre-petition Senior Indebtedness, (C) the Liens granted to the Person providing such financing rank prior to or pari passu with the pre-petition Lien of Senior Agent;
     (c) not assert (or support any other Person in asserting) any right it may have to “adequate protection” of its interest in any Shared Collateral in any Proceeding (provided, that Subordinated Agent shall be permitted to seek and obtain (A) “adequate protection” of its interest in any Shared Collateral in connection with any debtor-in-possession financing consented to or provided by any Senior Creditor if and to the extent that the principal amount thereof exceeds the maximum amount with respect thereto set forth in the preceding clause (b), (B) a Lien on the Shared Collateral in which Senior Agent has a Lien for the benefit of Senior Creditors with the same priority vis-a-vis the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness as existed prior to the commencement of such Proceeding and (C) a replacement Lien on post-petition assets in which Senior Agent has

-22-


 

a Lien for the benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors with the same priority vis-à-vis the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein, although the failure to obtain any such Liens or replacement Liens by Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor shall not be used as the basis to challenge any cash collateral (or usage thereof) or debtor-in-possession financing described in the preceding clause (b));
     (d) will not seek and will, in any event, turn over to Senior Agent for the pro rata benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors any “adequate protection” of their interest in any Shared Collateral that they receive in any Proceeding for application to the Senior Indebtedness owed to Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, other than “adequate protection” of the type described in clause (c) above; and
     (e) not seek to have the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar stay under any other applicable law) lifted or modified with respect to any Shared Collateral without the prior written consent of Senior Agent; provided, that, in the case of this clause (e), if Senior Agent and Senior Creditors seek such aforementioned relief, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor hereby irrevocably consents thereto and shall join in any such motion or application seeking such relief if requested by Senior Agent. Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, in any Proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.
     21.8 Notice of Liens. Subordinated Agent, Subordinated Creditor and Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor each acknowledges that this Agreement shall constitute notice of their respective interests in the Shared Collateral under and for any purpose such a notice may be required by the UCC.
     21.9 Proceeds of Events of Loss.
     (a) Proceeds of the Shared Collateral include proceeds of insurance in respect of, and compensation and other awards and payments made on account of, in each case, any of the following events or occurrences (each such event or occurrence being an “Event of Loss”): (i) any loss, theft or destruction of, or damage to, any Shared Collateral, (ii) any pending or threatened institution of any proceedings for the condemnation or seizure of any Shared Collateral or for the exercise of any right of eminent domain with respect thereto; or (ii) any actual condemnation, seizure or taking, by exercise of the power of eminent domain or otherwise, of any Shared Collateral, or confiscation thereof, and therefore, anything contained in the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the priorities provided for herein shall govern and control the ultimate application and disposition of all of such proceeds.
     (b) Until the Senior Indebtedness has been Paid in Full, (i) Senior Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor, to adjust settlement of each and every claim with respect to any Event of Loss, and (ii) all proceeds of each Event of Loss shall be paid to Senior Agent for application to the Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the respective terms and provisions of the Basic

-23-


 

Documents or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, as applicable, and, to the extent necessary or desirable, Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor shall cooperate promptly and in a reasonable manner in effecting the payment of all of such proceeds to Senior Agent. If the requisite holders of Senior Indebtedness (or any representative thereof), in their (or its) sole discretion or pursuant to agreement with any Obligor (pursuant to the terms and provisions the Basic Documents or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, as the case may be, or otherwise), permit such Obligor to utilize any proceeds of any Event of Loss to repair or replace the affected Shared Collateral, or purchase other Shared Collateral, the consent of the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or any representative thereof) to such utilization automatically shall be deemed to include the consent of Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor to such repair, replacement or purchase, as the case may be.
     21.10 Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Senior Agent, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding or contesting in any judicial or other proceeding, including, without limitation, any Proceeding, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any Lien held by Senior Agent or Subordinated Agent, as the case may be, on all or any part of the Senior Creditor Collateral; provided, that nothing in this subsection 21.10 is intended or shall be deemed or construed to limit in any way the ability of Senior Agent, Senior Creditor, Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor to enforce all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. As between Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, on the one hand, and Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor, on the other hand, the terms of this Agreement shall govern and control even if part or all of the Subordinated Indebtedness or Senior Indebtedness, as the case may be, or the respective Liens securing payment, observance and performance thereof are avoided, disallowed, set aside or otherwise invalidated in any Proceeding or otherwise.
     21.11 Marshalling; Additional Waiver. Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any rights such Person may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshalling or otherwise to require Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor to marshall any Property of any Obligor for the benefit of Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor. Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by Senior Agent and Senior Creditors of the subordination and other terms and provisions of this Agreement and all the notices whatsoever not specifically required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or under the UCC in connection with any foreclosure on or sale of Property of any of the Obligors and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor expressly consents to reliance by Senior Agent and Senior Creditors upon the subordination and other terms and provisions of this Agreement.
     21.12 Turnover of Shared Collateral. Upon Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, if and to the extent that the Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor still hold a Lien on any of the Shared Collateral, Senior Agent agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Subordinated Agent all of the Shared Collateral then in the possession or control of Senior Agent in order that Subordinated Agent may hold such Shared Collateral as security for the Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, however, that the failure of Senior Agent to make such delivery to Subordinated Agent for any reason whatsoever (including making such delivery to

-24-


 

the Company) shall not create any liability for Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor or subject Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor to any claim for damages, whether based in tort or on contract. Nothing herein is intended or shall be construed to make Senior Agent an agent for Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor or to impose upon Senior Agent any duty or obligation, fiduciary or otherwise, in favor of Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor. Subordinated Agent agrees and acknowledges that it is not relying on the turnover of any Shared Collateral by Senior Agent in entering into the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents or the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Company hereby authorizes and directs the Senior Agent to deliver any and all such Shared Collateral to Subordinated Agent as aforesaid and agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor harmless from any and all claims in connection with complying, or for failing to comply, with the provisions of this Section 21.12.
     22. Subordinated Creditor’s Purchase Option.
     22.1 Purchase Notice. If (a) Senior Agent and Senior Creditors take any action to collect, enforce payment or accelerate any of the Senior Indebtedness or to exercise any of the remedies with respect to all or substantially all of the Shared Collateral set forth in any of the Basic Documents or that otherwise may be available to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors with respect to the Shared Collateral, either at law or in equity, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, including, without limitation, taking any action under state or Federal law (including the UCC) to foreclose upon, take possession of or sell all or a material portion of the Shared Collateral (a “Senior Enforcement Action”), Senior Agent shall give Subordinated Agent notice thereof concurrently with the taking of any such action (a “Purchase Trigger Notice”), or (b) a Proceeding shall have otherwise commenced, the Subordinated Creditor shall have the option to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Senior Indebtedness by giving a written notice (the “Purchase Notice”) to Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor no later than the fifth Business Day after the first to occur of (x) receipt by Subordinated Agent of the Purchase Trigger Notice, or (y) the commencement of such Proceeding, as applicable (the Subordinated Creditor giving the Purchase Notice being herein referred to individually as a “Purchasing Creditor” and collectively as the “Purchasing Creditors”). Upon delivery thereof to Senior Agent by the Purchasing Creditors, the Purchase Notice shall be irrevocable.
     22.2 Purchase Option Closing. On the date specified by the Purchasing Creditors in the Purchase Notice (which shall not be less than three (3) Business Days nor more than five (5) Business Days, after the receipt by the Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor of the Purchase Notice), the Senior Creditors shall sell to the Purchasing Creditors, and the Purchasing Creditors shall purchase from the Senior Creditors, the Senior Indebtedness. In the event that the Purchasing Creditors fail to purchase all the Senior Indebtedness on such date, the Purchasing Creditors’ purchase rights hereunder shall expire.
     22.3 Purchase Price. Upon the date of the purchase and sale described in subsection 22.2, the Purchasing Creditors shall (i) pay to Senior Creditors as the purchase price therefor the sum of (x) full amount of all the Senior Indebtedness then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) and (y) an amount equal to the full redemption premium that would be due and payable in respect of all outstanding Senior Notes on such date had the Company elected to redeem in full all

-25-


 

outstanding Senior Notes pursuant to Paragraph 3 of the Senior Notes and (ii) agree to reimburse Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with any payments provisionally credited to the Senior Indebtedness, and/or as to which Senior Creditors have not yet received final payment. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account of each Senior Creditor as such Senior Creditor may designate in writing to Subordinated Agent for such purpose. Interest shall be calculated to but excluding the Business Day on which such purchase and sale shall occur if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Creditors to the bank account designated by Senior Agent are received in such bank account prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time and interest shall be calculated to and including such Business Day if the amounts so paid by the Purchasing Creditors to the bank account designated by each Senior Creditor are received in such bank account later than 1:00 p.m., New York time.
     22.4 Nature of Sale. Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by Senior Agent or any of the Senior Creditors and without recourse to Senior Agent or any of the Senior Creditors, except that each of the Senior Creditors shall represent and warrant: (i) the amount of the Senior Indebtedness being purchased from such Senior Creditor, (ii) that such Senior Creditor owns such Senior Indebtedness free and clear of any Liens and (iii) such Senior Creditor has the right to assign such Senior Indebtedness and the assignment is duly authorized. The Company hereby consents to all transfers of Notes made pursuant to this Section 22 and hereby waives any and all conditions to such transfers set forth in the Basic Documents.
     23. Collateral In Possession.
     23.1 Control by Senior Agent. If Senior Agent takes possession of or has “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) over any Shared Collateral for purposes of perfecting its Lien thereon (including equity certificates, deposit accounts and investment property), Senior Agent, to the extent such Liens may be perfected only by such possession or control, shall be deemed to be holding such Shared Collateral as agent for Subordinated Agent, solely for purposes of perfection of its Lien under the UCC on such Shared Collateral; provided that Senior Agent shall have no duty or liability to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Shared Collateral for Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor, and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each hereby waives and releases Senior Agent from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to its role as such agent, except for claims and liabilities arising from Senior Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
     23.2 Control by Subordinated Agent. If Subordinated Agent takes possession of or has “control” (as such term is defined in the UCC) over any Shared Collateral for purposes of perfecting its Lien thereon (including equity certificates, deposit accounts and investment property), Subordinated Agent shall be deemed to be holding such Shared Collateral as agent for Senior Agent, solely for purposes of perfection of its Lien under the UCC on such Shared Collateral; provided that Subordinated Agent shall have no duty or liability to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Shared Collateral for Senior Agent or any of the Senior Creditors, and, Senior Agent and each of the Senior Creditors each hereby waives and releases Subordinated

-26-


 

Agent and the Subordinated Creditor from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to its role as such agent, except for claims and liabilities arising from Subordinated Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
     23.3 No Alteration of Priorities. It is understood and agreed that this Section 23 is intended solely to assure continuous perfection of the Liens granted under the Basic Documents or Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, as applicable, and nothing in this Section 23 is intended or shall be deemed or construed to alter the respective priorities or obligations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement.
     24. No New Liens; Similar Liens
     24.1 No New Liens. So long as the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness has not occurred, the parties hereto agree that the Company shall not, and shall not permit any Subsidiary to, grant or permit any additional Liens on any asset or property to secure any Subordinated Indebtedness unless it has granted a Lien on such asset or property to secure the Senior Indebtedness. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the Senior Agent and/or any Senior Creditor, the Subordinated Agent, on behalf of the Subordinated Creditor agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to any of them pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section 24.1 shall be subject to this Agreement.
     24.2 Similar Liens and Agreements. The parties hereto agree that it is their intention that the collateral securing the Senior Indebtedness and the Subordinated Indebtedness shall, with the exception of the Excluded Collateral, be identical. In furtherance of the foregoing, the parties hereto agree, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement:
     (i) upon request by the Senior Agent or the Subordinated Agent, to cooperate in good faith (and to direct their counsel to cooperate in good faith) from time to time in order to determine the specific items included in the Shared Collateral and the steps taken to perfect their respective Liens thereon and the identity of the respective parties obligated under the Basic Documents and the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents; and
     (ii) that the documents and agreements creating or evidencing the Shared Collateral shall be in all material respects the same forms of documents other than with respect to (i) the first lien and the second lien nature of the obligations thereunder and (ii) the delivery of collateral, the security interest in which may be perfected only by possession or control by a single person of such collateral prior to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness.

     2.2 Restriction on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents to the contrary and in addition to any other limitations set forth herein or therein, no payment (whether made in cash, securities, other than any Reorganization Subordinated Securities, or other Property or by set-off) of principal, interest, premium or any other amount due with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made or received, and neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall exercise any right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any Subordinated Indebtedness, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full; provided, that, except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence or in subsection 2.3, the Company may make and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor may accept and retain Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments and provided, further, that the Company may make and Subordinated Agent may accept and retain payments to the Subordinated Agent contemplated by subsection 2.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Obligor may make, and neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor may accept or retain, any payment of principal, interest, premium or any other amount with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness (other than any payment made solely in Reorganization Subordinated Securities or payments made to the Subordinated Agent as contemplated in subsection 2.1) if, at the time of such payment or, with respect to clause (a) below, immediately after giving effect thereto:
     (a) a Senior Payment Default exists; or

          The Company may resume Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments (and may make any Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments missed due to the application of clauses (a) or (b) of this subsection 2.2), and Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor may accept and retain such Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments:
     (1) in the case of a Senior Payment Default referred to in clause (a) of this subsection 2.2, upon a cure or waiver (as evidenced by a written waiver from Senior Agent or the Senior Creditors to the Company) thereof in accordance with the terms of the Senior Purchase Agreement or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents; or
     (2) in the case of a Senior Covenant Default referred to in clause (b) of this subsection 2.2, upon the earlier to occur of (x) the cure or waiver (as evidenced by a written waiver from Senior Agent or the Senior Creditors to the Company) of all such Senior Covenant Defaults in accordance with the terms of the Senior Purchase Agreement or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, and (y) the expiration of 180 days from the date on which the Senior Default Notice was received.
     Notwithstanding any provision of this subsection 2.2 to the contrary:

-7-


 

     (A) the Company shall not be prohibited from making, and Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor shall not be prohibited from accepting and retaining, Permitted Subordinated Indebtedness Payments by virtue of the payment blockage effected by clause (b) of this subsection 2.2 for more than an aggregate of 180 days within any period of 360 consecutive days;
     (B) no Senior Covenant Default existing on the date any notice is given pursuant to clause (b) of this subsection 2.2 shall, unless the same shall have ceased to exist for a period of at least 60 consecutive days, be used as a basis for any subsequent such notice (for purposes of this paragraph, breaches of the same financial covenant for consecutive periods shall constitute separate and distinct Senior Covenant Defaults); and
     (C) Senior Agent and the Senior Creditors shall not deliver more than three (3) Senior Default Notices, in the aggregate, prior to the termination of this Agreement.
          The provisions of this subsection 2.2 shall not apply to any payment with respect to which subsection 2.3 would be applicable.
     2.3 Proceedings. In the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, custodianship, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Property (a “Proceeding”): (i) all Senior Indebtedness first shall be Paid in Full before any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other Property) of or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made in such Proceeding (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities); (ii) any payment which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in such Proceeding in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities), shall be paid or delivered directly to Senior Agent (to be held and/or applied by Senior Agent in accordance with the terms of the Senior Purchase Agreement or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents) until all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries, and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each also irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs Senior Agent to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution; (iii) Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees to execute and deliver to Senior Agent or its representative, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, all such further instruments confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (ii) as Senior Agent may reasonably request; and (iv) Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each hereby irrevocably authorizes, empowers and appoints Senior Agent its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim (but not vote such claims) in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness in connection with any such Proceeding upon the failure of such Person to do so 15 days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim; provided, that Senior Agent shall have no obligation to execute, verify, deliver, and/or file any such proof of claim. The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of Senior Agent, Senior Creditors, Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor even if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness or the Liens securing the Senior Indebtedness are subordinated, set

-8-


 

aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any such proceeding. This Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of the Senior Indebtedness or any representative of such holder and the Senior Indebtedness, or portion thereof, intended to have been satisfied shall be deemed to be reinstated and outstanding as if such payment had not occurred.
     2.4 Incorrect Payments. If any payment (whether made in cash, securities or other Property) not permitted to be accepted by Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement is received by Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor on account of any Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, such payment shall not be commingled with any asset of such Person, shall be held in trust by such Person for the benefit of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors and shall be paid over to Senior Agent, or its designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Senior Purchase Agreement or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, as the case may be) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full.
     2.5 Sale, Transfer. The Subordinated Creditor shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness unless following such sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, there shall either be (i) no more than two (2) holders of Subordinated Indebtedness (provided, that each holder of Subordinated Indebtedness and its respective affiliates and Related Funds shall be counted as a single holder for purposes of determining compliance with the foregoing limitation), or (ii) one Person acting as agent for all holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to Senior Agent such that any Senior Default Notices and other notices and communications to be delivered to the Subordinated Creditor hereunder and any consents required by the Subordinated Creditor shall be made to or obtained from such agent and shall be binding on the Subordinated Creditor as if directly delivered to or obtained from such Subordinated Creditor. In the event of a permitted sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer, prior to or substantially contemporaneously with the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof shall execute and deliver to Senior Agent a joinder to this Agreement, or an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, in either case providing for the continued subordination and forbearance of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Senior Agent and Senior Creditors arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Subordinated Creditor, as provided in Section 10 below. The Subordinated Agent shall not be required to take any action in furtherance of this Section 2.5.
     2.6 Legends. Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, the Subordinated Purchase Agreement, each of the Subordinated Notes and all other Subordinated Indebtedness Documents evidencing any Subordinated Indebtedness at all times shall contain in a conspicuous manner the following legend:
“This Note [or other Subordinated Indebtedness Document] and the indebtedness evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement

     (a) Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full and notwithstanding anything contained in the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, the Senior Purchase Agreement, the other Basic Documents or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents to the contrary, neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor, agree to any amendment, modification or supplement to the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, the effect of which is to (i) increase the maximum principal amount of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (ii) increase the rate of interest on any of the Subordinated Indebtedness, except in connection with the imposition of a default rate of interest to the extent provided for in the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents on the date hereof, (iii) shorten the dates upon which payments of principal or interest on the Subordinated Indebtedness are due, (iii) change in a manner adverse to any Obligor or add any event of default, or add or make more restrictive any covenant with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness, (iv) change the redemption, prepayment or put provisions of the Subordinated Indebtedness in a manner adverse to any Obligor, (v) alter the subordination provisions with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness, including, without limitation, subordinating the Subordinated Indebtedness to any other indebtedness, (vi) alter the repayment terms of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (vii) take any Liens on any Property of any Obligor, any Subsidiary of any Obligor or any other Person, (viii) obtain any guaranties or credit support from any Person, unless Senior Agent and Senior Creditors have obtained a guaranty or credit support, as the case may be, in respect of the Senior Indebtedness from such Person and such Person’s obligations in respect of such guaranty or credit support, as the case may be, in favor of Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness are subordinated to its obligations in respect of the Senior Indebtedness on the same terms and to the same extent that the Subordinated Indebtedness is subordinated to the Senor Indebtedness pursuant the terms of this Agreement, or (ix) change or amend any other term of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents if such change or amendment would increase the obligations of any Obligor or confer additional material rights on Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor or any other holder of the Subordinated Indebtedness in a manner adverse to any Obligor, Senior Agent or Senior Creditors.
     (b) Until the Senior Indebtedness is Paid in Full, neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of Senior Agent, take any action to collect, or enforce payment of the Subordinated Indebtedness, exercise any of the remedies with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness set forth in any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents or that otherwise may be available to Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor, either at law or in equity, by judicial proceedings (including by filing a Proceeding) or oth-

     (ii) acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness (provided, that if, following any such acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness, such acceleration in respect of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded, then all Enforcement Actions taken by Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor shall likewise be rescinded if (A) such Enforcement Actions are based on this clause (ii) and (B) neither Subordinated Agent nor the Subordinated Creditor shall have any right under any other clause of this subsection 2.7(b) to take any Enforcement Actions).
     (iii) the occurrence of a Proceeding (provided, that if such Proceeding is dismissed, the corresponding prohibition against Subordinated Agent or Subordinated Creditor taking any Enforcement Action shall automatically be reinstated as of the date of dismissal as if such Proceeding had not been initiated, unless Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor shall have the right to take any Enforcement Action under another clause of this subsection 2.7(b); provided, further, that such reinstatement shall not affect the running of the 180 day period under clause (a) above to the extent the Subordinated Default giving rise thereto is not based on an acceleration of the Senior Indebtedness or the initiation of such Proceeding);
Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to Senior Agent, take Enforcement Actions; provided, that no such notice shall be required in the case of any Enforcement Action permitted to be taken under clauses (ii) or (iii) of this subsection 2.7(b).

     (b) Senior Agent and Senior Creditors may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor, without incurring liability to Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor and without impairing or releasing the obligations of Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or renew or alter any Senior Indebtedness, or amend, supplement, restate or otherwise modify in any manner any Basic Document or Permitted Refinancing Debt Document; provided, that Senior Creditors shall not amend or otherwise modify the terms of the Senior Indebtedness if the effect of such amendment or modification is to (i) increase the principal amount of the Senior Indebtedness to an amount in excess of the maximum amount determined pursuant to the proviso to the definition of Senior Indebtedness set forth herein, (ii) increase any fees on the Senior Indebtedness or any applicable interest rate with respect to the Senior Indebtedness by more than 300 basis points in excess of the highest rate set forth in the Senior Purchase Agreement as amended as of the date hereof, except in connection with the imposition of a default rate of interest pursuant to the terms of the Senior Purchase Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) extend the final maturity of the Senior Indebtedness (as set forth in the Basic Documents in effect on the date hereof) by more than twelve months.
     4. Representations and Warranties. The Subordinated Creditor hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and not as to any other Person) to Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, and Senior Agent hereby represents and warrants (as to itself and not as to any other Person) to Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor, in each case as follows:
     4.1 Existence and Power. Such Person is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization.
     4.2 Authority. Such Person has full power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to incur the obligations provided for herein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary action and are not prohibited by the organizational documents of such Person.
     4.3 Binding Agreements. This Agreement, when executed and delivered, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of such Person enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.
     4.4 Conflicting Agreements; Litigation. No provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree or order binding on such Person or affecting the Property of such Person conflicts with, or requires any consent which has not already been obtained under, or would in any way prevent the execution, delivery or performance of the terms of this Agreement. The execution, delivery and carrying out of the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of, or obligation to create, any Lien upon the Property of such Person pursuant to the terms of any such mortgage, indenture, contract or agreement. No pending or, to the best of such Person’s knowledge, threatened, litigation,

-12-


 

arbitration or other proceedings if adversely determined would in any way prevent the performance of the terms of this Agreement.
     4.5 No Divestiture. Solely in the case of the Subordinated Creditor, on the date hereof, Subordinated Creditor which is signatory hereto is the current owner and holder of the Subordinated Notes and all other Subordinated Indebtedness Documents.
     4.6 Default under Subordinated Indebtedness Documents and Senior Indebtedness Documents.

     (b) Solely in the case of each Senior Creditor, on the date hereof, to the knowledge of such Senior Creditor, no default exists under or with respect to the Senior Purchase Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents.
     5. Cumulative Rights, No Waivers. Each and every right, remedy and power granted to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors hereunder shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right, remedy or power specifically granted herein, in the Senior Purchase Agreement, the other Basic Documents or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise, and may be exercised by Senior Agent or Senior Creditors, from time to time, concurrently or independently and as often and in such order as Senior Agent or Senior Creditors may deem expedient. Any failure or delay on the part of Senior Agent or Senior Creditors in exercising any such right, remedy or power, or abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce the same, shall not operate as a waiver thereof or affect Senior Agent’s or Senior Creditors’ right thereafter to exercise the same, and any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy or power shall not preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy or power, and no such failure, delay, abandonment or single or partial exercise of Senior Agent’s or Senior Creditors’ rights hereunder shall be deemed to establish a custom or course of dealing or performance among the parties hereto.
     6. Modification. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by Senior Agent, any Senior Creditor, Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor therefrom, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by Senior Agent, the Senior Creditors, Subordinated Agent and the holders of the Subordinated Notes, and then such modification, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor in any event not specifically required of Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor hereunder shall not entitle Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder.
     7. Additional Documents and Actions. Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor at any time, and from time to time, after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, upon the request of Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor and at the expense of the Company,

     12. Defines Rights of Creditors; Subrogation.
     (a) The provisions of this Agreement are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of Subordinated Agent and Subordinated Creditor, on the one hand, and Senior Agent and Senior Creditors, on the other hand, and shall not be deemed to create any rights or priorities in favor of any other Person, including, without limitation, any Obligor. The failure of any Obligor to make any payment to the Subordinated Creditor due to the operation of this Agreement shall not be construed as prohibiting the occurrence of a Subordinated Default.
     (b) Subject to the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness, in the event and to the extent cash, Property or securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall have been applied pursuant to this Agreement to the payment of Senior Indebtedness, then and in each such event, the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be subrogated to the rights of each holder of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payment or distribution in respect of or applicable to the Senior Indebtedness (provided, that if, after Payment in Full of all Senior Indebtedness, Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor takes action against an Obligor for any indemnity obligations owing to Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor under the Basic Documents or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents, Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees that its rights of subrogation hereunder shall be suspended during such period of time that Senior Agent or any Senior Creditor is taking any such action to enforce any such indemnity obligations under the Basic Documents or Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents and Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor each agrees that it shall not be permitted to receive or retain any payment or distribution made on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness (other than a distribution of Reorganization Subordinated Securities and payments to the Subordinated Agent permitted by subsection 2.1) during such period); and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payment or distribution to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any cash, Property or securities to which any holder of Subordinated Indebtedness would be entitled except for the provisions of this Agreement shall, and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by the holders of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall, as between any Obligor, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness and the holders of Subordinated Indebtedness, be deemed to be a payment by such Obligor to or on account of Senior Indebtedness.
     13. Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant or condition of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern. For purposes of this Section 13, to the extent that any provisions of any of the Subordinated Indebtedness Documents provide rights, remedies and benefits to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors that exceed the rights, remedies and benefits provided to Senior Agent or Senior Creditors under this Agreement, such provisions of the applicable Subordinated Indebtedness Documents shall be deemed to supplement (and not to conflict with) the provisions hereof.
     14. Statement of Indebtedness to the Subordinated Creditor. The Company will furnish to Senior Agent, upon demand, a statement of the indebtedness owing from Obligors to Subordinated Creditor, and will give Senior Agent access to the books of Obligors in accordance with the Senior Purchase Agreement so that Senior Agent can make a full examination of the status of such indebtedness. The Company will furnish to the Subordinated Creditor, upon

-16-


 

demand, a statement of the indebtedness owing from Obligors to Senior Creditors, and will give the Subordinated Creditor access to the books of Obligors in accordance with the Subordinated Purchase Agreement so that the Subordinated Creditor can make a full examination of the status of such indebtedness.
     15. Headings. The paragraph headings used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.
     16. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the Payment in Full of the Senior Indebtedness.
     17. Subordinated Default Notice. The Company shall provide Senior Agent and each Senior Creditor with prompt written notice of the occurrence of a Subordinated Default (which notice shall incorporate a reasonably detailed description of such Subordinated Default) and of any cure or waiver thereof. The Company shall provide Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor with prompt written notice of the occurrence of a Senior Payment Default or Senior Covenant Default, as the case may be (which notice shall incorporate a reasonably detailed description of such Senior Payment Default or Senior Covenant Default), and of any cure or waiver thereof.
     18. APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL MATTERS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO OR ARISING THEREFROM, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
     19. JURISDICTION AND VENUE. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE LITIGATED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS AND AGREES THAT ALL SUCH SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE UPON SUCH PERSON BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO SUCH PERSON AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 8 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE TEN (10) DAYS AFTER THE SAME HAS BEEN POSTED.
     20. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSON THAT BECOMES A HOLDER OF SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS OR SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING

-17-


 

OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. EACH PARTY HERETO (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSON THAT BECOMES A HOLDER OF SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS OR SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT SUCH PERSON HAS RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT SUCH PERSON WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH PARTY HERETO (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PERSON THAT BECOMES A HOLDER OF SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS OR SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF) WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH PERSON HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY OF REVIEWING THIS JURY WAIVER WITH LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS.
     21. No Contest of Senior Indebtedness or Liens; No Security for Subordinated Indebtedness. The Subordinated Creditor agrees that it will not, and will not encourage any other Person to, at any time, contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Indebtedness or Liens in the Senior Creditor Collateral pursuant to the Senior Purchase Agreement, the other Basic Documents or the Permitted Refinancing Debt Documents or accept or take any collateral security for the Subordinated Indebtedness.
     22. Notice to Subordinated Agent.
          The Subordinated Creditor and the Company shall give prompt written notice to the Subordinated Agent of any fact known to the Subordinated Creditor or the Company, respectively, which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Subordinated Agent in respect of the Subordinated Notes. Failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Subordinated Notes to Senior Indebtedness. Notwithstanding the provisions of this or any other provision of this Agreement, the Subordinated Agent shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Subordinated Agent in respect of the Subordinated Notes, unless and until the Subordinated Agent shall have received written notice thereof at the address specified in Section 8 from the Subordinated Creditor or the Company; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Subordinated Agent shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided, however, that if a Responsible Officer (as defined in the Indenture) of the Subordinated Agent shall not have received, at least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms of the Indenture any such money may become payable for any purpose, the notice with respect to such money provided for in this Section 22, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Subordinated Agent shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within two Business Days prior to such date. The Subordinated Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself to be a representative of the Subordinated

-18-


 

Creditor or the Company to establish that such notice has been given by a representative of the Subordinated Creditor or the Company, as applicable. Nothing in this Section 22 shall permit the Subordinated Creditor to accept any payments from the Company or the Subordinated Agent prohibited by any section of this Agreement.
          23. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.
          Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Agreement, the Subordinated Agent and the Subordinated Creditor shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Subordinated Agent or the Subordinated Creditor, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Agreement.
          24. Subordinated Agent Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
          The Subordinated Agent shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if the Subordinated Agent shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to the Subordinated Creditor or to the Company or to any other person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Subordinated Agent undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be read into this Agreement against the Subordinated Agent.
          25. Rights of the Subordinated Agent.
          The rights, privileges, protections and benefits given to the Subordinated Agent, in its capacity as trustee, paying agent, registrar and conversion agent, under Article VII of the Indenture (including, without limitation, its rights to be indemnified) are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Subordinated Agent in connection with its execution of this Agreement and its performance hereunder and to each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder.

Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (“Sponsor”)
$13,250,000 Capital Lease Facility
Commitment Letter (the “Commitment Letter”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
     Credit Suisse and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (with their other affiliates, “CS”) commit to arrange for the acquisition of each Property by a special purpose entity to be formed for such purpose, and thereafter lease each Property to Lessee, all in accordance with the attached term sheet (the “Term Sheet”), and subject to the conditions in the Term Sheet and below in this Commitment Letter. Wherever this Commitment Letter or the Term Sheet refers to Lessee, each such reference shall be deemed to refer instead to Sponsor unless and until Lessee has actually been formed and executed and delivered a counterpart of (or otherwise assumed Lessee’s obligations under) this Commitment Letter. Any definitions in the Term Sheet also apply in this Commitment Letter. CS, Lessee, and Sponsor further agree as follows:
     
Standby Fee —
Amount
 
On the first day of every calendar quarter starting January 1, 2007 (accruing for a full calendar quarter upon the signing of this Commitment Letter), CS shall earn a fee (the “Standby Fee”) equal to one quarter of 5.50% (550 basis points) (the “Standby Rate”) times the sum of the following:
         
    ·  
$13,250,000; less
       
 
    ·  
Any Lessor’s Investment that Lessor has actually funded in cash at a Closing or for which Lessor’s obligation to fund has expired (or for which Sponsor and Lessee have issued a Cancellation Notice, as described below) without funding.
     
Standby Fee —
Calculation and
Payment
 
The Standby Fee shall accrue on the first day of every calendar quarter. When a Closing occurs for a Property, accrued Standby Fee allocable to that Property shall become part of Lessor’s Investment. If, for any Property, the Term Sheet expires without a Closing or Sponsor and Lessee issue a Cancellation Notice, then on the date of such expiration or Cancellation Notice Sponsor shall pay in cash the Standby Fee earned to date and allocable to such Property.

 


 

     
Sponsor’s Right
to Issue
Cancellation

Notice
 
Sponsor and Lessee may cancel this Commitment Letter as it relates to any Property(ies) (a “Cancellation Notice”). If Sponsor and Lessee issue a Cancellation Notice for any Property, then neither CS nor Lessor shall have any obligations regarding that Property.
   
 
Costs and
Expenses
 
Sponsor shall pay CS’s and Lessor’s reasonable out of pocket costs in evaluating (and, if applicable, closing) the proposed Lease(s), including reasonable accounting, appraisal, auditing, consulting, due diligence, engineering, environmental, legal, out of pocket costs of establishing Lessor, back-office administrative fees, administration and loan fees and other closing costs (but not interest) for any financing Lessor obtains to fund this transaction, independent director service fees, and title fees, and costs of travel, messengers, and other items, including all other bona fide transaction and due diligence costs incurred by CS, but not CS’s staff time or internal overhead (the “Costs and Expenses”).
   
 
   
Sponsor has requested that CS and Lessor seek to minimize the need to duplicate any due diligence or other investigations that Sponsor or its counsel or other consultants (the “Due Diligence Team”) have performed regarding the Properties and this transaction (the “Sponsor Due Diligence”). CS and Lessor shall reasonably endeavor to comply with that request, but only to the extent that the Due Diligence Team shall have agreed in writing (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to CS) that CS and Lessor shall have the same ability and legal right as Sponsor to rely upon the Sponsor Due Diligence. This does not limit CS and Lessor’s right to perform such due diligence as they require, or limit the extent to which the resulting costs shall constitute Costs and Expenses.
   
 
Due Diligence  
Lessee and Sponsor consent that CS and Lessor may perform or cause others to perform background checks, credit checks, and other investigations of Lessee and Sponsor.

Sponsor agrees (a) to indemnify and hold harmless CS, Lessor, and each of their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons, members and successors and assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the Lease(s), or any related transaction (including any claims made by any broker or finder) or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto (and regardless of whether such matter is initiated by a third party), and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, and (b) to reimburse CS and Lessor from time to time, upon presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including but not limited to expenses of CS’s and Lessor’s due diligence investigation, consultants’ fees, syndication expenses, travel expenses and fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel), but not CS’s or Lessor’s staff time or internal overhead, in each case, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and enforcement of the Lease(s), this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet, the definitive documentation for the Lease(s) and any ancillary documents or security arrangements in connection therewith, including arrangements for the establishment of Lessor. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, neither any Indemnified Person nor Lessee nor Sponsor shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages in connection with its activities related to the Lease(s) or this transaction.
   
 
Information  
Sponsor represents and warrants (and it shall be a condition to CS’s commitment hereunder, including CS’s agreements to cause Lessor to enter into the Lease(s)) that (a) all information except the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to CS or Lessor by or on behalf of Sponsor or any of Sponsor’s representatives is or will be, when furnished (to Sponsor’s knowledge, in the case of any Information about the Properties) complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished (to Sponsor’s knowledge, in the case of any Information about the Properties) contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) any financial projections that have been or will be made available to CS or Lessor by or on behalf of Sponsor or any of Sponsor’s representatives (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon accounting principles consistent with the historical audited financial statements of Lessee and Sponsor and upon assumptions that are reasonable at the time made and at the time the related projections are made available to CS and Lessor.

Sponsor agrees that if at any time before either Lease Closing Sponsor becomes aware that any representation in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then Sponsor will promptly supplement the Information and Projections so that such representations will be correct under those circumstances. In arranging and causing Lessor to close the Lease(s), CS and Lessor will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.

This Commitment Letter shall not be assignable by Sponsor without the prior written consent of CS (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons), and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto (and Indemnified Persons). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sponsor may assign this Commitment Letter to any entity wholly owned by Sponsor, provided that such entity (a) is Lessee or holds all the stock of Lessee; and (b) is reasonably satisfactory to CS. Any such assignment shall not limit Sponsor’s or Lessee’s obligations under this Commitment Letter or the Term Sheet. CS may assign its commitment hereunder to one or more of its affiliates, whereupon CS shall be released from the portion of its commitment hereunder so assigned.

Notwithstanding anything in this Commitment Letter or the Term Sheet to the contrary, CS may place advertisements in financial and other newspapers and periodicals or on a home page or similar place for dissemination of information on the Internet or worldwide web as it may choose, and circulate similar promotional materials, after the closing of the transactions in the form of a “tombstone” or otherwise describing the names of Sponsor and its affiliates (or any of them), and the amount, type and closing date(s) of the Lease(s), all at CS’s expense.
   
 
   
This Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet supersede all prior understandings, whether written or oral, between us with respect to the Lease(s) or CS’s or Lessor’s obligations relating to or arising from the Lease(s).

TERM SHEET
     
Lessee
  A to-be-named wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiary of Sponsor, which shall be a newly formed single-purpose entity subject to SPE covenants satisfactory to CS. Lessee shall at all times be 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by Sponsor.
 
   
Property
  Each of the following:
    The real property identified as Property 1 in the documentation for the Notes (Allocated Purchase Price: $4,366,300); and
 
    The real property identified as Property 2 in the documentation for the Notes (Allocated Purchase Price, net of any contribution from other sources: $9,250,000).
     
Lessor
  Single-purpose entity(ies) to be designated and structured (but not necessarily owned) by CS.
 
   
Nature of Transaction
  Subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent and other requirements of this Term Sheet and the Commitment Letter to which it is annexed, Lessor shall acquire each Property when and as Lessee or Sponsor would otherwise close such acquisition under its contracts (each, a “Contract”) with the sellers of each Property (each, a “Seller”). Sponsor may direct Lessor to close under either Contract or both Contracts at Sponsor’s election. If Sponsor elects to require Lessor to close under both Contracts, then such closings need not, but may, be simultaneous. Sponsor and Lessee may modify any Contract provided they act in good faith and promptly give CS a copy of the modification. Any such modification shall not increase or extend Lessor’s funding obligations.
 
   
  Simultaneously with each such acquisition, CS shall cause Lessor to lease each Property to Lessee on the terms described in this Term Sheet. The Properties shall be leased under a single lease or, at Sponsor’s option, each Property shall be leased under a separate Lease. At Sponsor’s option, Lessor may acquire one Property without acquiring both Properties.
 
   
Lessor’s Investment
  For each Property, considered separately, Lessor’s aggregate investment (the “Lessor’s Investment”) shall equal the sum of all items listed below as in effect from time to time. The aggregate Lessor’s Investment for both Properties to be funded in cash at Closing(s) (i.e., before taking into account accrued Standby Fees or future PIK Rent Payments) shall never exceed $13,250,000 in aggregate.
    The Allocated Purchase Price plus or minus closing adjustments under the Contract;
 
    Sponsor’s and Lessee’s bona fide third party transaction costs reasonably approved by CS (including title, escrow and survey fees, Lessee’s transfer taxes, consultants’ fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees for the Closing, and the like);

10


 

    Sponsor’s and Lessee’s predevelopment costs reasonably approved by CS;
 
    The aggregate amount of all PIK Rent Payments;
 
    Accrued Standby Fees for periods before Closing; and
 
    CS’s and Lessor’s Costs and Expenses.
     
 
  No portion of Lessor’s Investment shall be paid directly to Lessee or Sponsor, except as expressly contemplated above in the definition of Lessor’s Investment.
 
   
Closing
  Each Lease transaction will close (a “Closing”) on a date coinciding with the closing under the respective Contract for the Property to be demised under such Lease. If (at Sponsor’s election) both Contracts close simultaneously, then only a single Closing shall occur, but each Property may (at Sponsor’s election) be demised under a separate Lease.
 
   
Outside Closing Date
  For each Property, the Commitment Letter, CS’s obligations thereunder and this Term Sheet shall irrevocably expire and terminate on the date (the “Outside Closing Date”) that is the earliest of the following:
    Expiration of the Contract for that Property (after taking into account any extensions of the closing date under such Contract);
 
    Sponsor’s and Lessee’s issuance of a Cancellation Notice for that Property; and
 
    December 31, 2007.
     
Lease Term
  The Lease(s) will expire on the earliest of the following:
    June 30, 2009;
 
    The maturity date, occurrence of a payment default, or acceleration, under the Loan Facility and Convertible Debt (together, the “Notes”) to be provided by CS under the Purchase Agreement among Terremark Worldwide, Inc., the Guarantors thereunder, Credit Suisse, Cayman Islands Branch, as Agent, and the Purchasers thereunder, dated the Effective Date; and
 
    The date of any default under either Lease (or under any financing secured by a mortgage encumbering the Lease) beyond applicable cure periods if such default results in a termination or acceleration of the other Lease or financing in question, unless Lessor elects otherwise in writing.

11


 

     
Rent
  Lessee shall pay rent under each Lease (the “Rent”), without offset or deduction, in an annual amount (payable only as described in the next paragraph) equal to the product of: (a) the Money Rate; times (b) Lessor’s Investment from time to time. If Sponsor elects to use a separate Lease for each Property, then Lessor’s Investment shall be calculated separately for each Property; otherwise Lessor’s Investment shall be calculated on a combined basis. “Money Rate” shall mean the sum of: (a) three-month LIBOR, as in effect for consecutive three-month periods starting at the Closing; plus (b) 5.50% (550 basis points) per annum; plus (c) starting on January 1, 2009, an additional 1.00% (100 basis points) per annum. Rent shall be calculated on an actual/360 basis.
 
   
 
  Lessee need not pay Rent in cash during the Lease term. Instead, at Lessee’s option, each quarter’s Rent may, on the first day of such quarter, be added to and become part of Lessor’s Investment (a “PIK Rent Payment”). Future Rent shall increase accordingly, taking into account that increase in Lessor’s Investment. Lessee may pay Rent under any Lease in cash if it wishes to do so.
 
   
Lease Obligations
  Each Lease shall be an “absolutely triple net,” “hell or high water,” “bondable” type of Lease, under which Lessee shall bear absolutely all rights, obligations, and expenses related to the Property; CS and Lessor shall have absolutely no obligations or liabilities of any kind (except Lessor’s obligation to deliver a quitclaim deed in connection with a Buyout for which Lessee has timely satisfied all conditions under the Lease, and any other covenants expressly set forth in the Lease, including a covenant not to encumber the Properties); and the Rent shall be absolutely free and clear of any and all costs related to the Property.
 
   
Expiration Date
Obligations; Buyout
  Provided Lessee has not theretofore exercised its Early Buyout Option (defined below), starting at least three months before the expiration date of each Lease, Lessee shall undertake a diligent marketing program for the Property demised under that Lease and seek to arrange a sale of such Property at the best possible price, with a closing to occur simultaneously with the expiration date of such Lease. If such program is unsuccessful, or if the sales price of the Property is less than Lessor’s Investment, then on the expiration date of such Lease (including an expiration date arising from early termination of such Lease) the following shall occur as to the Property demised under such Lease (a “Buyout”):
    If such Property is sold to a third party, Lessee shall pay Lessor, as additional rent, an amount equal to Lessor’s Investment less the sales price of the Property;
 
    If such Property is not sold to a third party, Lessee shall purchase such Property from Lessor for an amount equal to Lessor’s Investment;

12


 

    Lessee and Sponsor shall pay Lessor all unpaid sums (including accrued but unpaid Rent) then due under such Lease;
 
    Provided that Lessee has paid and performed all its obligations in connection with the Buyout when and as the Lease requires by its express terms, Lessor shall convey the Property by quitclaim deed, to Lessee or Lessee’s designee, entirely at Lessee’s cost and expense (including payment of any applicable transfer taxes), subject to no liens or encumbrances created by Lessor;
 
    If Lessee does not timely perform its Buyout obligations for a Property, then Lessee’s Buyout rights shall terminate, and Lessor shall have the unrestricted right to sell such Property to a third party, in full or partial satisfaction of Lessee’s obligations under the Lease, and Lessee (and Sponsor under its guaranty) shall continue to be liable for an amount (the “Net Payment”) equal to the difference between the actual net sales proceeds, if any, of such Property (the “Proceeds”) and Lessor’s Investment for such Property, and all other sums due under the Lease (collectively, “Leasehold Obligations”); and Lessee shall be entitled to receive any Proceeds that exceed the Leasehold Obligations;
 
    If Lessor has not actually sold the Property when Lessor demands the Net Payment, then Lessor shall reasonably determine the fair market value of the Property based on a third party appraisal and recalculate the Net Payment to give Lessee and Sponsor credit for the Proceeds Lessor would have realized if Lessor had sold the Property for such fair market value; and
 
    Sponsor’s guaranty shall extend to Lessee’s obligations upon any Buyout.
     
 
  If there exists more than one Lease, then Lessee and Lessor shall consummate any Buyout simultaneously for each and every Property, and not for one Property only (except in the case of a Buyout for a single Property initiated by Lessee).
 
   
 
  The total amount payable by Lessee upon a Buyout is referred to as the “Buyout Payment.”
 
   
Early Buyout
  If any Lease terminates before its scheduled expiration date for any reason (including Lessee’s default beyond applicable cure periods or the occurrence of any casualty or condemnation for which Lessee does not with reasonable promptness satisfy ordinary and customary restoration conditions), then at Lessee’s or Lessor’s option a Buyout shall occur under such Lease effective 20 days after the giving of notice to such effect.
 
   
 
  In addition, Lessee may elect at any time, on 20 days written notice, to consummate a Buyout under any Lease(s) as Lessee designates.

13


 

     
General Covenants,
Representations,
Warranties, and
Events of Default
  Substantially equivalent to those contained in Sponsor’s existing second-lien term loan facility, subject to such exceptions and modifications as CS (or Lessor) and Sponsor shall agree.
 
   
Lease Covenants,
Representations,
Warranties, and
Events of Default
  In addition, the Lease documents shall contain Lease-specific covenants, representations, warranties, and Events of Default as CS or Lessor requires. These will include at least the following provisions:
    Property Costs. Lessee shall pay all real estate taxes, operating expenses, insurance premiums, construction costs, maintenance and repair costs, utilities, and all other Property-related costs of any kind or character whatsoever. Lessee shall give CS and Lessor such evidence of payment of such costs as CS and Lessor reasonably require from time to time.
 
    Legal Compliance. Lessee shall be solely responsible for legal compliance, even if applicable laws require “capital” or “structural” improvements or repairs to the Property.
 
    Easement Grants. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in granting ordinary and customary easements and other development-related rights (collectively, the “Easements”), provided that: (a) the Easements are on reasonable and customary terms; (b) Lessee gives Lessor reasonable prior notice of any Easement; and (c) Lessee gives CS and Lessor a certificate executed by an officer of Lessee stating that the granting of such Easement will not impair the fair market value of the Property in any material respect.
 
    Trade Fixtures. Lessee’s trade fixtures (including fixtures, machinery and equipment) remain Lessee’s property. Lessee may remove them from the Property at any time during the Lease term, provided that Lessee repairs any damage to the Property resulting from such removal.
 
    Alterations. Lessee may perform the following (“Approved Construction”), in compliance with law: (i) non-structural alterations, modifications or improvements, without any notice to or consent of Lessor, (ii) any structural alteration, modification or improvement, without Lessor’s consent, provided that Lessee gives CS and Lessor a certificate from a structural engineer and a certificate of an officer of Lessee stating that the proposed changes will not adversely affect the structural integrity of the Property or impair the revenue production potential (in Sponsor’s business) of the Property in any material respect; and (iii) certain specified construction work (to be pre-approved in the Lease) enabling Lessee and Sponsor to use the Property in Sponsor’s business.

14


 

    Ownership. Lessee shall own (and be entitled to depreciation on) any improvements it constructs, but such improvements shall revert to Lessor if the Lease terminates and Lessee does not acquire the Property through a Buyout. Lessee shall not damage or destroy any improvements.
 
    Lessee’s Assignment and Subletting. Lessee may not sublease or assign except as this paragraph allows. Lessee may collaterally assign a Lease solely to secure the Notes and Sponsor’s obligations to any creditor that the Notes allow to hold a lien senior to the lien securing the Notes (the “Approved Leasehold Financing”). Any Approved Leasehold Financing shall attach solely to the leasehold under the Lease and not to Lessor’s fee estate (and hence shall be subordinate to Lessor’s estate). Lessor shall have no obligation to “subordinate the fee” or join in any Approved Leasehold Financing. Lessee may sublease to any entity that is directly or indirectly wholly owned by Sponsor (as necessary or appropriate for the operation of Sponsor’s business), or in connection with any merger, acquisition, or consolidation of Sponsor or the acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets of Sponsor. Lessee may without Lessor’s consent sublease or license any part(s) or all of any Property on arm’s length terms in the ordinary course of Lessee’s and Sponsor’s business operations.
 
    Mortgagee Protections. Any party providing Approved Leasehold Financing (an “Approved Leasehold Mortgagee”) shall have the rights, subject to the terms of the Approved Leasehold Financing, to: (a) cure Lessee’s defaults under the Lease (within an additional cure period of up to 30 days); (b) after an Event of Default under, and foreclosure of, the Approved Leasehold Financing, elect to exercise Lessee’s Buyout rights, provided that such Approved Leasehold Mortgagee also timely performs Lessee’s Buyout obligations (without prejudice to its rights against Lessee); (c) consent to any amendment of the economic terms of the Lease; (d) receive an assignment of the Lease without Lessor’s consent (but this may at Lessor’s option trigger a Buyout); and (e) obtain a new lease if the Lease terminates because Lessor exercises its remedies under the Lease after Lessee’s default, provided that within 30 days after such termination (and as a condition to receiving a new lease) the Approved Leasehold Mortgagee pays Lessor the Buyout Payment. Any foreclosure under Approved Leasehold Financing shall terminate only Lessee’s estate and shall have no effect on Lessor’s fee estate or right to receive any payments under the Lease.
 
    Lessor’s Assignment. Lessor may assign (or grant participations in) its interest in the Property(ies) and the Lease. Lessee will at Lessee’s expense (including its attorneys’ fees) provide such cooperation as Lessor reasonably requests to facilitate the foregoing.

15


 

    Operation and Use. Lessee will develop the Property as a “web hotel” and collocation facility for Internet services and connections. Any changes in or suspension of use will be permitted provided it causes no material adverse impact on the value of the Property.
 
    Repairs. Lessee will be responsible for all structural and nonstructural repairs and maintenance to the Property, including without limitation all capital repairs, such that Lessor will retain no repair, maintenance, or other operating expenses or performance obligations of any kind or nature for the Property.
 
    No Lessor Liability. Neither CS nor Lessor shall have any liability whatsoever for any matter relating to the Property. Neither CS nor Lessor shall make any representations whatsoever. Lessee and Sponsor shall indemnify CS and Lessor against all costs, risks, burdens, claims, and obligations relating to or arising from the Property, save only for those arising out of CS or Lessor’s own gross negligence, wrongful acts or material breach of its specific and express obligations under the Lease.
 
    Insurance. As CS or Lessor requires, consistent with similar transactions, provided however that CS and Lessor shall have absolutely no obligation or liability for payment of any premiums. Lessor shall be named as a loss payee under any property insurance covering the Properties.
 
    Loss Proceeds. Fee mortgagees and permitted leasehold mortgagees may participate in adjustment or settlement of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award (“Loss Proceeds”). If Lessee elects a Buyout upon any casualty or condemnation (or if Lessee fails to satisfy ordinary and typical restoration conditions with reasonable promptness, and Lessor thereupon elects a Buyout), then Loss Proceeds (except any attributable to Approved Construction) up to the Buyout Payment shall go to Lessor, with credit against the Buyout Payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is issued after a Regular Record Date and prior to an Interest Payment Date, the record date for such Interest Payment Date shall be the original issue date.

          7. Amendments, Modifications and Waivers. The Purchase Agreement permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and certain rights of the Noteholders under the Purchase Agreement at any time by the Company with the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding. The Purchase Agreement also contains provisions permitting the Noteholders of specified percentages in the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, on behalf of the Noteholders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Agreement and certain past defaults under the Agreement and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and upon all future Noteholders and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

     The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations authorized under the Purchase Agreement. As provided in the Purchase Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Notes are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Noteholder surrendering the same.
     No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any Tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

     Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     If an Event of Default (excluding an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) of the Indenture (but including an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(ix) of the Indenture)) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company or the Holders of at least fifty percent (50%) in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the Securities to be immediately due and payable in full. Upon such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and any accrued and unpaid interest on, all Securities shall be due and payable immediately. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(x) of the Indenture occurs, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may 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 it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability unless the Trustee is offered indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; provided, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
     If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of Securities a notice of the Default or Event of Default within ninety (90) days after such Event of Default becomes known to the Trustee. Except in the case of a Default in payment on any Security (including the failure to make a mandatory repurchase pursuant hereto), 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 of the Securities.

19. NO RECOURSE AGAINST OTHERS.
     No past, present or future director, officer, employee or shareholder, as such, of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder, by accepting a Security, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.

Exhibit 99.1
Terremark Secures Initial Financing to Pursue Expansion Strategy
Company to Secure Properties in Silicon Valley and the Washington D.C. Area and Begin Signing Customers
MIAMI—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Jan. 8, 2007—Terremark Worldwide, Inc. (AMEX:TWW) today announced that it has secured financing of $27.25 million from Credit Suisse to fund its previously announced expansion plans. The proceeds from this financing will allow the Company to secure two properties, one in Silicon Valley and one in the Washington D.C. area, and begin signing customer contracts for the new facilities. In addition, a portion of the proceeds will be used to build-out the remaining 10,000 square feet at its current Silicon Valley facility.
“We are excited to have this financing in place, which will allow us to move forward with our expansion strategy and leverage the significant customer demand we are seeing in these two markets,” said Manuel D. Medina, Chairman and CEO of Terremark Worldwide, Inc. “With this funding we can begin contracting with both new and current customers for the two facilities, which will provide a solid foundation to lower our cost of capital as we secure the balance of the financing.”
The financing is composed of 3 facilities, each having a maturity date of June 30, 2009. All interest under each facility will be payable in kind and will be due and payable in cash at maturity. The table below shows the details for each facility.
                         
Facility   Amount   Initial Rate   Conversion
Subordinated Debt
  $ 10,000,000     LIBOR + 8.0%     n/a  
Convertible Debt
  $ 4,000,000                0.50 %   $ 8.14  
Lease Commitment
  $ 13,250,000     LIBOR + 5.5%     n/a  
Approximately $8.0 million of the debt proceeds will be used to fund the final build-out of the existing facility in Silicon Valley and the remaining $6.0 million will be primarily used towards the development of the new facilities.
The $13.25 million under the lease commitment will be used towards the purchase of the new properties in Silicon Valley and the Washington D.C. area. Under the lease commitment, Credit Suisse will purchase each parcel of land and lease it to Terremark. Terremark maintains the option to purchase the properties from Credit Suisse at the original purchase price plus accrued interest.
In connection with this transaction, the Company agreed to a 1% increase in the interest rate of its senior secured notes in consideration for a six month acceleration of its prepayment premium. This increase is subject to a minimum amount of $300,000 and additional future rate increases that will not exceed 1%. The prepayment premium on the senior secured notes, which had been scheduled to reset on June 30, 2007, will immediately decrease to 5.0% from 7.5%.

 


 

Mr. Medina concluded, “We are very pleased to have Credit Suisse directly invest in our expansion and provide funding for this initial step in our financing plan. This liquidity and the lowered prepayment premium on our existing senior notes significantly increases our ability to improve our capital structure. We will begin working immediately on replacing this interim funding with permanent expansion financing.”
