The execution, delivery and performance by the Company and the
Tenant of this Agreement, the Operative Agreements to which the Company or the
Tenant is a party and, in the
-7-
case of the Company, the Notes will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of,
or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than
the Liens contemplated by the Operative Agreements) in respect of any property
of the Company, the Tenant or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage,
deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, operating agreement,

with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company or the Tenant of this
Agreement, the Operative Agreements to which the Company or the Tenant is a
party or, in the case of the Company, the Notes, other than customary filings
and/or recordings of certain of the Security Documents.
5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.
(a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 5.8, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the
Company or the Tenant, threatened against or affecting the Company, the
Tenant or any Subsidiary or any property of the Company, the Tenant or
any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or
before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.
(b) None of the Company, the Tenant or any Subsidiary is
in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is
a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or
ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in
violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation
(including without limitation Environmental Laws) of any Governmental
Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which the Company, the Tenant or a Subsidiary, as the case may be,
has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Neither the Company
nor the Tenant knows of any basis for any Tax that could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of the Company, the Tenant and the Subsidiaries in respect of Taxes for
all fiscal periods are adequate. Each of the Company and the Tenant is properly
treated as a partnership for, and is not taxable as, a corporation for Federal
income tax purposes.

been acquired by the Company, the Tenant or any Subsidiary after said date
(except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in
each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement or the other
Operative Agreements. The Lease and all leases that individually or in the
aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect
in all material respects.

Scheduled Payments with, respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the
amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no
event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount,
the following terms have the following meanings:
"Called Principal" means, with respect to any Note, the
principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section
8.1(b), 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due
and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.
"Discounted Value" means, with respect to the Called Principal
of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled
Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective
scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with
-20-
respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial
practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis
as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the
Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.
"Reinvestment Yield" means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by (i)
the yields reported, as of 10:00 AM. (New York City time) on the second
Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called
Principal, on the display designated as Page "USD" of the Bloomberg
Financial Markets Service (or such other display as may replace Page
"USD" of the Bloomberg Financial Markets Service) for actively traded
U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining
Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or
(ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields
reported as of such time are not ascertainable, the Treasury Constant
Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such
yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding
the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal
Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) (or any comparable successor
publication) for actively traded U.S. Treasury securities having a
constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called
Principal as of such Settlement Date. Such implied yield will be
determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill
quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted
financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the
actively traded U.S. Treasury security with the duration closest to and
greater than the Remaining Average Life and (2) the actively traded
U.S. Treasury security with the duration closest to and less than the
Remaining Average Life.
"Remaining Average Life" means, with respect to any Called
Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth
year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum
of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of
each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal
by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year)
that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such
Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled
Payment.
"Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to the
Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and
interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with
respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal
were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such
Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be
made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next
succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of
interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on
such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.2 or 8.3 or 12.1.
"Settlement Date" means, with respect to the Called Principal
of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid
pursuant to Section 8.1(b), 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to
be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context

to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules

the Company and the Tenant will, and the Tenant will cause each of its
Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers,

reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of
entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business
and similarly situated.
9.3. Maintenance of Properties.

prevent the Company, the Tenant or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the
operation and the maintenance of any of its properties (other than the Property)

have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable
that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Company, the
Tenant or any
-22-
Subsidiary, provided that subject to the terms of the other Operative
Agreements, none of the Company, the Tenant or any Subsidiary need pay any such
tax or assessment or claims if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof

good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Company, the Tenant or a
Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on

of all such taxes and assessments in the aggregate could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Tenant, the termination
of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such existence,
right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.
9.6. Nature of Business.
The Company is and shall remain a special purpose entity and
limit the conduct of its business to ownership of the Property as contemplated
hereby and by the Operative Agreements and the leasing thereof and such other
business activities as are incident or necessary thereto, but no other
activities. The Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to

an Event of Default described in clause (i) of paragraph (h) or
described in clause (vi) of paragraph (h) by virtue of the fact that
such clause encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (h)) has occurred, all
the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due
and payable.
(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any holder or holders of more than 33% in principal amount
of the Notes at the time outstanding may at
-31-
any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company,
declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and
payable.
(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or
(b) of Section 11 has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders
of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may
at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the
Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due
and payable.
Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section
12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature
and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and
unpaid interest thereon and (y) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of
such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall
all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment,
demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company
acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the
right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company
(except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment
of a Make-Whole Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or
are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide
compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.
12.2. Other Remedies.
If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been
declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note
at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such
holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding,
whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained in this
Agreement, any of the Operative Agreements or in any Note, or for an injunction
against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the
exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.
12.3. Rescission.
At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable
pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 51%
in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the
Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a)
the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid
other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue
principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by
applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default
Rate, (b) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts
that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or
have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c) no judgment or decree has been
entered for the payment of any movies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No
rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any
subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
-32-
12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, etc.
No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of
any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver
thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder's rights, powers or remedies. No
right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, any Operative Agreement or
by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power
or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company
under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such
holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and
disbursements.
13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.
13.1. Registration of Notes.
The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a
register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name
and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the
name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in
such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person
in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the
owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof and the Company shall not be
affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to
any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request
therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all
registered holders of Notes. The Company may direct the Collateral and Paying
Agent under the Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement to undertake the
obligation of the Company contained in this Section 13.1 or the Collateral
Agency and Paying Agreement may a so provide.
13.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes.
Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office
of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a
surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such
Note or his attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address
for notices and other Schedule A information of each transferee of such Note or
part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company's expense
(except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder
thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be
payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in
the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from
the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated
the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.
The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or
governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes
shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $100,000, provided that
if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire
holding of Notes, one Note may be
-33-
in a denomination of less than $100,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a
Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to
have made the representation set forth in Section 6.1. The Company may direct
the Collateral and Paying Agent under the Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement
to act on its behalf with respect to this Section 13.2 other than with respect
to the execution of Notes or the Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement may so
provide.
13.3. Replacement of Notes.
Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or
mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional
Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such
loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and
(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of
indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of
such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another
Institutional Holder, such Person's own unsecured agreement of
indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or
(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and
cancellation thereof,
the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof; a new
Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been
paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid
thereon. The Company may direct the Collateral and Paying Agent under the
Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement to act on its behalf with respect to this
Section 13.3 other than with respect to the execution of Notes or the Collateral
Agency and Paying Agreement may so provide.
14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES.
14.1. Place of Payment.
Subject to Section 14.2, and to the extent applicable, to the
Collateral Agency and Paying Agreement, payments of principal, Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made
at the addresses of the Purchasers set forth in Schedule A hereto. The Company
may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment
of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal
office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or
trust company in such jurisdiction.
14.2. Home Office Payment
So long as you or your nominee shall be the holder of any
Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to
the contrary, the Company will pay or cause to be paid all sums becoming due on
such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method
and at the address specified for such purpose below your name in Schedule A, or
by such other method or at such other address as you shall have
-34-
from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without
the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation
thereon, except that upon written request of the Company or the Collateral and
Paying Agent made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or
prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender such Note for cancellation,
reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company or the Collateral and
Paying Agent at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most
recently designated by the Company or the Collateral and Paying Agent pursuant
to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by you
or your nominee you will, at your election, either endorse thereon the amount of
principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon
or surrender such Note to the Company or the Collateral and Paying Agent in
exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will
afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is
the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by you under this
Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as you have
made in this Section 14.2.

survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Operative Agreements or the
Notes, and the termination of this Agreement and/or the Operative Agreements.
-35-
16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

survive the execution and ; delivery of this Agreement, the Operative Agreements
and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by you of any Note or portion thereof or

subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by
or on behalf of you or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in
any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company or
the Tenant pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and
warranties of the Company or the Tenant under this Agreement. Subject to the
preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Operative Agreements and the Notes
embody the entire agreement and understanding between you and the Company and
the Tenant and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the
subject matter hereof.

17.1. Requirements.
This Agreement, the other Operative Agreements and the Notes
may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be
waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written
consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or
waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof'; or
any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to you unless
consented to by you in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without
the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected
thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or

decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and
considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or
consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof, of the other
Operative Agreements or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed
or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent

holder of Notes or any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and
provisions hereof or of the other Operative Agreements unless such
remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted,
on the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding

waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation,
covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived

hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any
holder of such Note. As used herein, the term "this Agreement" and "the
Operative Agreements" and references thereto shall mean this Agreement and the
Operative Agreements as they may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
17.4. Notes held by Company or the Tenant, etc.

reproduction was made by you in the regular course of business) and any
enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall
likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the

any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to
which you are a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to the extent you may reasonably determine such delivery and
disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the
protection of the rights and remedies under your Notes, this Agreement and/or
the Operative Agreements. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note,
will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits
of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable
request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note
of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or

or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company
embodying the provisions of this Section 20.
21. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER

Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that you have agreed to purchase
hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by
both you and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate's agreement to be
bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of
the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6.
Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word "you" is used in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer to such
Affiliate in lieu of you. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as
a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to you all of the
Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such
transfer, wherever the word "you" is used in this Agreement (other than in this
Section 21), such word shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but
shall refer to you, and you shall have all the rights of an original holder of
the Notes under this Agreement.
22. MISCELLANEOUS.
22.1. Successors and Assigns.

subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.
-39-

additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next
succeeding Business Day.

Any provision of this Agreement that 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, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
22.4. Construction.
Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent
express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant
contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent
such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any
other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any
Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be
applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.
22.5. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute
one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each
signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.
22.6. Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State

jurisdiction where the nature of the business transacted by it or the character
of its properties owned or leased makes such qualification or licensing
necessary except where failure to so qualify would not, individually or in the
aggregate, have a material adverse affect on its business, properties, or
condition, financial or otherwise.
4. No authorization, approval or consent of any governmental or
regulatory body is necessary or required in connection with the lawful execution

Subsidiary have been duly and validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable
and, to the knowledge of such counsel, are owned by the Company free and clear

other things to (i) cause the Tenant to distribute (the "Distribution") cash in
the amount of $55,000,000 and accounts receivables in the face amount of
$152,500,000 to the Parent, which the Parent will use to fund a partial
distribution of undistributed accumulated earnings to the owners of the Parent

Associates so that the Tenant will become a wholly owned subsidiary of
Associates. The Distribution will cause the Tenant to be in violation of Section
10.3 of the Note Purchase Agreement.

demand of payment from the Company or the Guarantor with respect to any amount

title to or interest in the Note Purchase Agreement or in any other Note
Document and (h) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or
surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against the Guarantor.
SECTION 6. Subrogation, Contribution, Reimbursement or Indemnity. Until one
year and one day after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the
Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any rights which may have
arisen in connection with this Guaranty to be subrogated to any of the rights
(whether contractual, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended,
including section 509 thereof, under common law or otherwise) of any of the
Holders against the Company or against any collateral security or guaranty or
right of offset held by the Holders for the payment of the Obligations. Until
one year and one day after all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full,
the Guarantor agrees not to take any action pursuant to any contractual, common
law, statutory or other rights of reimbursement, contribution, exoneration or
indemnity (or any similar right) from or against the Company which may have
arisen in connection with this Guaranty. So long as the Obligations remain, if
any amount shall be paid by or on behalf of the Company to the Guarantor on
account of any of the rights waived in this paragraph, such amount shall be held
by the Guarantor in trust, segregated from other funds of the Guarantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Guarantor, be turned over to the Holders
(duly endorsed by the Guarantor to the Holders, if required), to be applied
against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the
Holders may determine. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the term
of this Guaranty and the payment in full of the Obligations.
SECTION 7. Effect of Bankruptcy Proceedings, etc. This Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if,
at any time prior to the termination of this Guaranty pursuant to Section 9(ii),

pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement or any other Note Document
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Holder upon the

Company or any other person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect
to the Company or other person or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If an event permitting
the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at
any time have occurred and be continuing, and such acceleration shall at such
time be prevented by reason of the pendency against the Company or any other
person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the
Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations
hereunder, the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes and all other
Obligations

had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Purchase
Agreement or other applicable Note Document, and the Guarantor shall forthwith
pay such principal amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest thereon and
any other amounts guaranteed hereunder without further notice or demand.
