Section 8.1. Maturity . As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount . The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than ten days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment, unless the Company and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

(a) Notice of Change of Control . In the event of the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Company shall, within 10 days thereafter, deliver to each holder of a Note a Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay pursuant to Section 8.3(c), unless the Company already delivered an earlier Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay in respect of such Change of Control pursuant to Section 8.3(b) below. Any prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be made at a prepayment price equal to the principal amount of Notes to be prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of prepayment, plus a premium equal to the Make-Whole Amount.

(b) Condition to Company Action . The Company will not take any action that consummates or finalizes a Change of Control unless (i) not less than thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to such action, the Company shall have delivered to each holder of a Note a Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay pursuant to Section 8.3(c) below, and (ii) contemporaneously with such action, it prepays all Notes required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section 8.3.

(c) Offer to Prepay Notes .

Such Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay shall state: (i) that such notice is

delivered pursuant to this Section 8.3(c); (ii) the proposed date of (or, with respect to a Change of Control already having occurred, the date thereof) and a description of the circumstances surrounding such Change of Control; (iii) the date by which a holder must deliver a Section 8.3(d) Response pursuant to Section 8.3(d) hereof in order to accept prepayment; and (iv) the date on which the Company expects to prepay the Notes pursuant to Section 8.3(d), which prepayment date shall be (x) in the case of a Change of Control already having occurred, a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay and (y) in the case where the Change of Control has not yet occurred, the date of the occurrence of such Change of Control (such date as provided in each of the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), as applicable, the “Section 8.3 Special Prepayment Date” ). No failure by the Company to deliver a Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay to any holder shall limit such holder’s right to exercise such election and require the Company to effect such offer of prepayment within a reasonable time period after such holder becomes aware of such Change of Control.

(d) Acceptance; Rejection . To accept prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.3 of the Notes held by it, a holder shall deliver to the Company such holder’s notice that it accepts prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to the Notes held by it and designated therein (a “Section 8.3(d) Response” ).

The Section 8.3(d) Response shall set forth the name of such holder and the statement that it accepts prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.3 with respect to the Notes designated therein. Promptly and in any event within three (3) Business Days after receipt of a holder’s Section 8.3(d) Response, the Company shall, by written notice to such holder of a Note, acknowledge receipt thereof. If the Company has delivered a Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay to each holder and on or prior to the fifteenth (15th) day prior to the Section 8.3 Special Prepayment Date, the Company shall not have received a Section 8.3(d) Response from a holder (or shall have received a Section 8.3(d) Response with respect to some but not all the Notes held by such holder), the Company shall promptly, but in any case within one (1) Business Day after the commencement of such fifteen (15) day period, deliver written notice to such holder that all of the Notes held by such holder (or all of the Notes held by such holder with respect to which such holder shall not have declined prepayment in such holder’s Section 8.3(d) Response) may be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.3 on the Section 8.3 Special Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder to respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall be deemed to constitute an acceptance of such offer by such holder.

(e) Deferral Pending Change in Control . The obligation of the Company to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by Section 8.3(c) and their acceptance in accordance with Section 8.3(d) is subject to the occurrence of the Change of Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made. In the event that such Change of Control does not occur on the Section 8.3 Special Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until, and shall be made on, the date on which such Change of Control occurs. The Company shall keep each holder reasonably and timely informed of (i) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (ii) the date on which such Change of Control and the prepayment are expected to occur, and (iii) any determination by the Company that efforts to effect such Change of Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made

pursuant to this Section 8.3 in respect of such Change of Control shall be deemed rescinded). In the event that such Change of Control does not occur on the Section 8.3 Special Prepayment Date or within one hundred eighty (180) days thereafter, the Obligors shall not permit any Change of Control to occur unless it delivers a new Section 8.3 Notice and Offer to Prepay and otherwise complies anew with the provisions of this Section 8.3.

(f) “Change of Control” Defined . For the purposes of this Section 8.3, a “Change of Control” shall mean: (i) the acquisition of direct or indirect beneficial ownership by any Person or “group” (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the SEC thereunder as in effect on the date hereof) of Capital Stock representing more than 50% of the aggregate ordinary voting power represented by the issued and outstanding Capital Stock of any Obligor; or (ii) the acquisition of Control of any Obligor by any Person or “group” (within the meaning of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules of the SEC thereunder as in effect on the date hereof); or (iii) the occurrence of a “change of control” (howsoever defined) as provided in the Principal Credit Facility or any Existing Note Agreement; other than, in the case of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii), by (x) any beneficial owner as of the date hereof of OCGH, (y) any officer, employee or principal of any member of the Oaktree Operating Group or any of their respective subsidiaries that is an equity holder of OCG or OCGH on the date hereof or is admitted as an equity holder of OCG or OCGH after the date hereof in the ordinary course of business, or (z) any holding company or intermediate entity that is beneficially owned and controlled by any Person identified in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y).

Section 8.4. Allocation of Partial Prepayments . In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment.

Section 8.5. Maturity; Surrender, Etc . In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.6. Purchase of Notes . The Obligors will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Company or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least thirty (30) Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Company shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such

fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining holder at least ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

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

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 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 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 the yield(s) reported as of 10:00 a.m. (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 PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between the yields Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (1) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such

Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (1) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years 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, computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, 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 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 Sections 8.2, 8.3 or Section 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 8.2 or 8.3 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.8. Payments Due on Non-Business Days . Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) subject to clause (b), any payment of interest on any Note that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; and (b) any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount on any Note (including principal due on the Maturity Date of such Note) that is due on a date that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

The Obligors, jointly and severally, covenant that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Laws . Without limiting Section 10.4, the Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.17, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2. Insurance . The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate 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.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties . The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times, provided that this Section shall not prevent any Obligor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Obligors have concluded that such discontinuance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes . The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, file all income tax or franchise tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction by any of them; provided that neither any Obligor nor any Subsidiary need file any such tax return to the extent the failure to so file would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies due and payable by any of them, provided that neither any Obligor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by such Obligor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and an Obligor or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of such Obligor or such Subsidiary or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges and levies would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5. Limited Partnership, Corporate Existence, Etc . Subject to Section 10.2, the Obligors will at all times preserve and keep their limited partnership existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2, the Obligors will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or other legal existence of each of their Subsidiaries (unless merged into

an Obligor or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Obligors, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate or other legal existence, right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Books and Records . The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Obligor or such Subsidiary, as the case may be. The Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, keep books, records and accounts which, in reasonable detail, accurately reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries. The Obligors and their Subsidiaries have devised a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that their respective books, records, and accounts accurately reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets and the Obligors will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, continue to maintain such system.

Section 9.7 Affiliate Guarantors. The Obligors will cause each of their Affiliates that guarantees or otherwise becomes liable at any time, whether as a borrower or an additional or co-borrower or guarantor, for or in respect of any Indebtedness under any Material Credit Facility ( provided that OCGH and OCG shall not be required to become Affiliate Guarantors solely as a result of their obligations under the 6.75% Senior Notes due 2019 outstanding on the Closing Date and issued pursuant to the 144A Notes Indenture) concurrently therewith:

(a) enter into a joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form attached as Schedule 9.7 (a “ Joinder Agreement ”); and

(ii) a certificate signed by an authorized responsible officer of such Subsidiary containing representations and warranties on behalf of such Subsidiary to the same effect, mutatis mutandis , as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.7 and 5.8 of this Agreement (but with respect to such Affiliate and the Affiliate Guaranty rather than the Obligors);

(iii) all documents as may be reasonably requested by the Required Holders to evidence the due organization, continuing existence and good standing of such Affiliate and the due authorization by all requisite action on the part of such Affiliate of the execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement and the performance by such Affiliate of its obligations thereunder and hereunder; and

(iv) an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders covering such matters relating to such Affiliate, the Joinder Agreement and this Agreement as the Required Holders may reasonably request.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Affiliate is an Oaktree Parent Entity, such Affiliate shall, in lieu of entering into a Joinder Agreement, guarantee to each holder of any Note, in form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, the prompt payment in full when due of all amounts from time to time owing by the Company under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, no such Oaktree Parent Entity shall by the virtue of providing such guaranty to any holder of the Notes become, nor shall be deemed to be, bound to any provision of this Agreement as an Obligor hereunder.

The Obligors, jointly and severally, covenant that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 10.1. Transactions with Affiliates . The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or Material group of related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than an Obligor or another Subsidiary), except (a) pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Obligor’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Obligor or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate, (b) as identified in Schedule 10.1; and (c) any Restricted Payments permitted by Section 10.6.

Section 10.2. Merger, Consolidation, Etc . Each Obligor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, merge into or consolidate with any other Person, or permit any other Person to merge into or consolidate with it, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of (in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of the Obligors’ assets (measured on a collective basis across all Obligors), or all or substantially all of the Capital Stock of the Obligors’ Subsidiaries (measured on a collective basis across all Obligors) (in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired), or liquidate or dissolve, except that, if at the time thereof and immediately after giving effect thereto no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (i) any Person, including a Subsidiary or an Obligor, may merge into or consolidate with any of the Obligors in a transaction in which an Obligor is the surviving entity; (ii) any Person, other than an Obligor but including a Subsidiary, may merge into or consolidate with any Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a Subsidiary that is wholly owned by one or more of the Obligors; (iii) any Obligor may merge into or consolidate with any Subsidiary in a transaction in which the surviving entity is a wholly owned Subsidiary, provided that (solely in a case of such a transaction involving an Obligor other than Oaktree AIF), such wholly owned Subsidiary agrees to become an Obligor hereunder and executes and delivers documents reasonably requested by the Required Holders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders with respect thereto (including, but not limited to, an opinion of counsel); (iv) any Subsidiary may sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets to any of the Obligors or to a wholly owned Subsidiary; (v) any Obligor may sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets (including any Capital Stock) to any other Obligor; (vi) any Obligor may sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets (including any Capital Stock) to a wholly owned Subsidiary of any Obligor, provided that in the event such transaction results in a transfer,

lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Obligors’ assets (measured on a collective basis across all Obligors) to one or more Subsidiaries, each Subsidiary agrees to become an Obligor hereunder and executes and delivers documents reasonably requested by the Required Holders in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders with respect thereto (including, but not limited to, an opinion of counsel); (vii) any Subsidiary may merge or consolidate with any other Person in a transaction in which the other Person is the surviving entity or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its assets to any other Person which, in each case, (A) prior to such transaction did not have any operations and (B) the Obligors own the same type and percentage of equity interests in such other Person as the Obligors owned in such Subsidiary prior to such transaction; and (viii) Oaktree AIF or any Subsidiary of an Obligor may liquidate or dissolve if Oaktree AIF or such Obligor, respectively, determines in good faith that such liquidation or dissolution is in its best interests and is not materially disadvantageous to the holders of Notes.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of any Obligor shall have the effect of releasing such Obligor or any successor limited partnership or other legal entity that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this Section 10.2 from its liability under this Agreement or the Notes.

For so long as the Notes remain outstanding, each of the Obligors must be organized under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof (including, for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Section 10.2 involving an Obligor).

Section 10.3. Line of Business . The Obligors will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the date of this Agreement.

Section 10.4. Terrorism Sanctions Regulations . The Obligors will not and will not permit any Controlled Entity (a) to become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or any Person that is the target of sanctions imposed by the United Nations or by the European Union, or (b) directly or indirectly to have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including, without limitation, any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (i) would cause any holder to be in violation of any law or regulation applicable to such holder, or (ii) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions.

(c) any Lien existing on any property or asset prior to the acquisition thereof (including by merger or consolidation) by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or existing on any property or asset of any Person that becomes a Subsidiary after the date hereof prior to the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary; provided that (i) such Lien is not created in contemplation of or in connection with such acquisition or such Person becoming a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (ii) such Lien shall not apply to any other property or assets of the Obligors or their respective Subsidiaries and (iii) such Lien shall secure only those obligations which it secures on the date of such acquisition or the date such Person becomes a Subsidiary, as the case may be;

(i) other Liens securing Indebtedness of any Obligor or any Subsidiary not otherwise permitted by clauses (a) through (h), provided that the Indebtedness secured thereby is permitted by Section 10.7(a) and (b), provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligors shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, secure pursuant to this Section 10.5(i) any Indebtedness outstanding under or pursuant to any Material Credit Facility unless and until the Notes (and any guaranty delivered in connection therewith) shall concurrently be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders in substance and in form, including, without limitation, an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to any such Obligor and/or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel that is reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders.

For purposes of compliance with this Section, (x) in the event that any Lien meets the criteria set forth in more than one of clause (a) and clauses (c) through (i) of this Section, the Obligors in their sole discretion may classify or reclassify such Lien in any manner that complies with this Section and such Lien shall be treated as having been permitted pursuant to only one of such clauses of this section; and (y) any Indebtedness secured by a Lien may be divided and classified among more than one of the clauses of this Section and, in each case, such Lien shall be treated as having been permitted pursuant to such clause.

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.

Section 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 herein 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.

Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 16, 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.

All obligations of the Affiliate Guarantors under this Section 13 shall survive the transfer of any Note, and any obligations of the Affiliate Guarantors under this Section 13 with respect to which the underlying obligation of the Company is expressly stated to survive payment of any Note shall also survive payment of such Note.

Section 13.2. Obligations Unconditional . The obligations of the Affiliate Guarantors under Section 13.1 constitute a present and continuing guaranty of payment and not collectibility and are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Notes or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the

fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.2 that the obligations of the Affiliate Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Affiliate Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

Each Affiliate Guarantor hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law notice of acceptance of and reliance upon this Affiliate Guaranty, diligence, presentment, demand of payment or performance, protest and all other notices whatsoever, any requirement that the holders exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Company or against any other person under any other guaranty of, or security for, or any other agreement, regarding any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Affiliate Guarantor further agrees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law that the occurrence of any event or other circumstance that might otherwise vary the risk of the Company or any Affiliate Guarantor or constitute a defense (legal or equitable) available to, or a discharge of, or a counterclaim or right of set-off by, the Company or any Affiliate Guarantor (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), shall not affect the liability of such Affiliate Guarantor hereunder. Further, and without limiting the foregoing, each Affiliate Guarantor further waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) Any right to require the holders to (i) proceed against the Company or any other Person; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security; or (iii) pursue any other remedy. Any holder may exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it has against the Company or any security it holds (including the right to foreclose by judicial or non-judicial sale) without affecting such Affiliate Guarantor’s liability hereunder.

(b) Any defenses from disability or other defense of the Company or from the cessation of the Company’s liabilities.

(d) Any defense from the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or any other rights against the Company.

(g) Any demands for performance, notices of nonperformance or of new or additional Indebtedness incurred by the Company to the holders. Each Affiliate Guarantor is responsible for being and keeping itself informed of the Company’s financial condition.

Section 13.4. Subrogation . In the event that the Affiliate Guarantors shall at any time pay any amount on account of the Guaranteed Obligations or take any other action

in performance of its obligations hereunder, the Affiliate Guarantors shall not exercise any subrogation or other rights hereunder or the Notes and the Affiliate Guarantors hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law all rights it may have to exercise any such subrogation or other rights, and all other remedies that it may have against the Company, in respect of any payment made hereunder unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Affiliate Guarantors on account of any such subrogation rights or other remedy, notwithstanding the waiver thereof, such amount shall be received in trust for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to such holders to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 13.5. Subordination of Indebtedness . Any Indebtedness or other obligation of the Company now or hereafter held by or owing to any Affiliate Guarantor is hereby subordinated in time and right of payment to all obligations of Company to the holders, except that the same may be paid prior to the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default; and upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, such Indebtedness of the Company to any Affiliate Guarantor shall be assigned to the holders as security for this Affiliate Guaranty, and if such holders so request shall be collected, enforced and received by such Affiliate Guarantor in trust for the holders and to be paid over to such holders on account of the Indebtedness and other obligations of the Company to such holders, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Affiliate Guarantor under the other provisions of this Affiliate Guaranty.

Section 13.6. Reinstatement . Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the liability of each Affiliate Guarantor hereunder shall be reinstated and revived and the rights of the holders shall continue if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Company or any Affiliate Guarantor is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by the holders, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The determination as to whether any such payment must be rescinded or restored shall be made by the Required Holders in their sole discretion; provided, however, that if the Required Holders choose to contest any such matter at the request of an Affiliate Guarantor, such Affiliate Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the holders from all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of such litigation.

Section 13.7. Limitation . In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or Federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Affiliate Guarantor under Section 13.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Affiliate Guarantor or the holder of any Note, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that would result in the obligations of such Affiliate Guarantor under Section 13.1 being valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

Section 14.1. 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(s) in whose name any Note(s) 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.

Section 14.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes . Upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(iii)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof) and upon receipt of any other documents or information required by this Agreement or the Note, the Company shall, as soon as practicable (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days), 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, of the same series and 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 Schedule 1-A, 1-B or 1-C, as applicable. 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 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 6.2.

Section 14.3. Replacement of Notes .

(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 holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $250,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

the Company at its own expense shall, as soon as practicable, execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same series, 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.

Section 15.1. Place of Payment . Subject to Section 15.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the office of the Company in such jurisdiction. 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.

Section 15.2. Home Office Payment . So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 15.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest and all other amounts becoming due hereunder by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule B, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have 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 made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at their principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 15.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its 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 in exchange for a new Note or Notes of the same series pursuant to Section 14.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

Section 16.1. Transaction Expenses . Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Obligor will jointly and severally pay all reasonable costs and

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required by the Required Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of any Obligor or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Notes; provided that (x) with respect to attorneys’ fees payable by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 16.1, the Obligors shall not be obligated to pay for the attorneys’ fees of more than one firm of special counsel (which firm shall be the firm retained to represent the Purchasers and all other holders of Notes collectively) and, to the extent that local or other counsel is reasonably required, the attorneys’ fees of no more than one firm of such local or other counsel (which firm shall be the firm retained to represent the Purchasers and all other holders of Notes collectively), and (y) with respect to financial advisors’ fees payable by the Obligors pursuant to this Section 16.1, the Obligors shall not be obligated to pay for financial advisors’ fees and related costs and expenses for more than one firm of financial advisors (which firm shall be the firm retained to represent the Purchasers and all other holders of Notes collectively), and (c) the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information with the SVO provided , that such costs and expenses under this clause (c) shall not exceed $3,000.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Obligors shall not pay to any Purchaser any costs or expenses consisting of, nor hold any Purchaser harmless from, any income or other similar taxes payable by a Purchaser as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 16.2. Survival . The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 16 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Obligors pursuant to this

Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Obligors under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 18.1. Requirements . This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Obligors and the Required Holders, except that:

(a) no amendment or waiver of any of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 22 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing; and

(b) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Purchaser and the holder of each Note at the time outstanding, (i) subject to Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of (x) interest on the Notes or (y) the Make-Whole Amount, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any amendment or waiver, or (iii) amend any of Sections 8 (except as set forth in the second sentence of Section 8.2), 11(a), 11(b), 12, 18 or 21.

(a) Solicitation. The Obligors will provide each holder of a Note with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a 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 or of the Notes. The Obligors will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to this Section 18 to each holder of a Note promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Obligors will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any holder of a Note as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by such holder of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or any Note unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each holder of a Note even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer . Any consent given pursuant to this Section 18 by a holder of a Note that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Note to the Company, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Company in connection with such consent shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder, and any amendments effected or

waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 18.3. Binding Effect, etc . Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 18 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or 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 or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Obligors and any holder of a Note and no delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.

Section 18.4. Notes Held by Obligors, etc . Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by any of the Obligors or any of their Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 7.4, all notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telecopy if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

(i) if to any Purchaser or its nominee, to such Purchaser or nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule B, or at such other address as such Purchaser or nominee shall have specified to the Company in writing,

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing, or

(iii) if to the Obligors, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address as the Obligors shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by any Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to any Purchaser, may be reproduced by such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, electronic, digital, or other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Obligors agree and stipulate that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 20 shall not prohibit any Obligor or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of any Obligor or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 7.1 and Section 7.3) that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as being confidential information of such Obligor, such Subsidiary, any Affiliate or any investment fund that is managed by such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries or for which such Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries acts as a general partner or an investment advisor, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure (other than from a source that Purchaser knew or should reasonably have known was bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect to such information), (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or from a source that Purchaser knew or should reasonably have known was bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect to such information or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available. No Purchaser shall use the Confidential Information for any purpose (including, without limitation, (x) to compete with the business of the Obligors, any of their Subsidiaries, any Affiliate or any investment fund that is managed by any of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries or for which any of the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries acts as a general partner or an investment advisor or (y) in connection with the creation or management of any investment fund for which a Purchaser or any of its affiliates acts as a general partner or an investment advisor) other than purposes directly related to the holding of the Notes by the Purchaser. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) its directors, officers,

employees, agents, attorneys, trustees and affiliates to the extent such Person needs to know such information for purposes directly related to the administration of the Purchaser’s holding of the Notes and who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21 and are prohibited from using the Confidential Information other than for purposes directly related to the Purchaser’s holding of the Notes, (ii) its auditors, financial advisors and other professional advisors who need to know such information for purposes directly related to the Purchaser’s holding of the Notes and agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with this Section 21 and are prohibited from using the Confidential Information other than for purposes directly related to the Purchaser’s holding of the Notes, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which it sells or offers to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (v) any Person from which it offers to purchase any Security of the Obligors (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (vi) any federal or state regulatory or tax authority having jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the NAIC or the SVO or, in each case, any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate ( provided that, solely with respect to clause (y) immediately below, the Purchaser shall use its reasonable efforts to cause such Person to agree in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by this Section 21), (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes or this Agreement. In the event of a disclosure pursuant to clause (vi) and (viii), such Purchaser shall, unless prohibited by applicable law or legal process, notify the Company as soon as practical in the event of any such disclosure and disclose Confidential Information to the minimum extent required or requested and shall, upon the Company’s request and expense, reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with obtaining a protective order or other appropriate means to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information being disclosed. 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 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Obligors in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Obligors embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to the Obligors or their Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and the Obligors, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking but only to the extent that such other confidentiality undertaking conflicts with this Section 21.

Each Purchaser acknowledges that the U.S. securities laws (and the securities laws of certain non-U.S. jurisdictions) prohibit any person who has received material non-public information about a company from purchasing or selling securities of such company or from communicating such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. Each Purchaser further acknowledges that information provided to it by or on behalf of the Obligors or any Subsidiary may contain material, non-public information concerning the Obligors, the Subsidiaries or their Affiliates, or its securities, and each Purchaser agrees that such Purchaser may not trade in the securities of OCG if you possess material non-public information concerning OCG unless such trading is otherwise permitted by applicable law.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “ Substitute Purchaser ” ) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

Section 23.1. Successors and Assigns . All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Section 23.2. Accounting Terms . (a) All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 9, Section 10 and the definition of “Indebtedness”), any election by the Obligors to measure any financial liability

using fair value (as permitted by Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 825-10-25 – Fair Value Option , International Accounting Standard 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement or any similar accounting standard) shall be disregarded and such determination shall be made as if such election had not been made.

(b) If the Obligors notify the holders of Notes that, in the Obligors’ reasonable opinion, or if the Required Holders notify the Obligors that, in the Required Holders’ reasonable opinion, as a result of changes in the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America or GAAP after the Closing ( “ Subsequent Changes ” ), any of the covenants contained in Sections 10.5 and 10.7 or any of the defined terms used therein no longer apply as intended such that such covenants are materially more or less restrictive to the Obligors than as at the Closing, the Obligors and the holders of Notes shall negotiate in good faith to reset or amend such covenants or defined terms so as to negate such Subsequent Changes, or to establish alternative covenants or defined terms. Until the Obligors and the Required Holders so agree to reset, amend or establish alternative covenants or defined terms, the covenants contained in Sections 10.5 and 10.7, together with the relevant defined terms, shall continue to apply and compliance therewith shall be determined assuming that the Subsequent Changes shall not have occurred ( “Static GAAP” ). During any period that compliance with any covenants shall be determined pursuant to Static GAAP, the Obligors shall include relevant reconciliations in reasonable detail between the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and GAAP, as applicable, and Static GAAP with respect to the applicable covenant compliance calculations contained in each certificate of a Senior Financial Officer delivered pursuant to Section 7.2(a) during such period.

(c) If generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, as in effect from time to time, are generally supplanted by the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, or if such standards exist as an alternative to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States and the Obligors select such standards, and such adoption or such selection would alter the application of any provision of this Agreement, then such adoption or selection shall be treated as a Subsequent Change for purposes of this Section 23.2.

Section 23.3. Severability . 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.

Section 23.4. Construction, etc . 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.

Section 23.5. 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.

Section 23.6. 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 of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 23.7. Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial . (a) The Obligors irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Obligors irrevocably waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b) The Obligors consent to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 19 or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. The Obligors agree that such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(c) Nothing in this Section 23.7 shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Obligors in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(d) T HE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT ON OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS A GREEMENT , THE N OTES OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH .

If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please sign the form of agreement on a counterpart of this Agreement and return it to the Obligors, whereupon this Agreement shall become a binding agreement between you and the Obligors.
